MACKMEN ARE
DIVIDED IN THEIR
SERIES SYMPATHIES
Some Favor Giants to Win,
While Others Want Braves
to Capture Nationa a |
League Pennant for 1914.

NEW YORK, Sept. l5.-According to the
Braves followers here, the Athletics are
TO play their last game of the year at the
Polo Grounds this afternoon, when they
meet the Hghlanders. However, II tho
Giant adherruts arc consulted, they will
say that this is merely the last game the
champions will play here until the words s
series. so there you are.
What the Athletics think Of the matter
is OF some Importance, but In general both
players ana manager are reticent on the
subject Of the National League flag,
though they do not in the least object to
admitting that they are going to capture
the pennaut.
The Athletic players themselves are
divided On the question of which club they
would prefer to play in the series, for the
reason that different motives lead them to
arrive ut different viewpoints. There are
some members of the White Elephant clan
who wish the Giants to win, purely for
financial reasons, thinking the Polo
Grounds will accommodate greater
crowd than Fenway Park. where the
Braves would play the series. If they
won.
Frank Chance appeared on the sidelineR
against the Athletics in Mondays fracaS
He did not seem worried in the least that
he had been given no other alternative
than to resign as manager,
The Mackmen leave after today's game
for their final trip over the western end
of the circuit. They are not scheduled
tomorrow, but meet Detroit the following
day.

PHILLTES OWE
MUCH TO DOOM
FOR HIS WORK
Authenticated Leader Has
Wrought Well Despit Re-
verses and Should Not Be
Allowed to Go to Braves.

Allowed to Go to Braves.
Aside from the all-important question as
TO which club will win the National
League pennant, the main idea in the
minds Of fandom is to favor Charley
Doom. F'liEhty rumor has it, but from
what authority no one can learn, that
Doom is playing and nanNging his last
season at Broad and Huntingdon streets.
If that is 80 1t will be sad news.
Do5In has never won a pennant for the
Philies, but he is good leader, and with
the material which he had this season,
no one could have done better The fact
that his club was shot to smIthereens by
the Federal League Is alone responsible
Tor Dooins club dropping from second
place to second division in the space OF
one short season.
Had the Philly leader been able to hold
Mike Doolan he would probably be in
the running now. The numerous and nee
essary switches nt the shortheld position
caused the Philllcs to drop gume9 which
should have been added to their string
of victories. Further. II Scaton had been
here, the Philies would probably be so
near the top that they would be iguring
on how they could most enjoy their
worlds series coin AS for the other loss
es they matter little IN the final out
come.
Even with all the breaks OF the game
going against him at every turn. Charley
-
