SECTIONAL GAMES TO
BEGIN IN ONE WEEK
Post-Season Series to Decide
District Champion Starts
August II.

With but a week to declare the cham
piohs in the several leagues which are
to be factors in the post-season series
here. preparatory to meeting Rich
mond, the amateur teams today face
a strenuous week on the diamond One
week from today the first intersectional
game will be played in sections A. B,
and c, and a game is scheduled in each
division for every day of next week.
By pursuing the above plan, a de-
tailed schedule of which follows, il is
expected that a sectional leader will
have been established in time to start
a post-season series between the three
sectional champions, on August H. The
local title will be established by the
end of that week, and six DAYS will
then be provided for rest before the in
ter-city series is commenced at Rich
mond, on August g.

come together in the final fight for top
honors' which appears to be most like
ly;
This seems to be a logical way of
placing the teams. for it gives a chance
for a dark horse to develop in each
OF tne DIVISIONS and maintains interest
for the deciding set of games.
Each competing team in the post
season is required to deposit SIS with
the association, a meeting being set for
Thursday at p. m. at Spalding's for
this purpose and to arrange other de-
tails. All games will be started at e.l5-
Umpires will be named at a later date.
The list OF dates, the team named first
being the home club. is as follows:

BINGLES AND BUNTS
By GRANTLAND RICE.

Quite a bit of notoriety has been
given the power of the Mackian bat
ting eye, especially in world series
affairs. Most of this fame was de-
served, for the big bats of Baker,
Collins, and others have welded con-
siderable influence I'm deciding the
issue. But in our class X opinion
the batting of the Mackmen isn't
the miracle part of their play-isn't
the part that is loaded with the sur
plus of human interest.
Back in 1905 We saw the Mack
men storm the Giant stronghold and
get repulsed with frightful slaugh-
ter. Mathewson shut them out three
straight times. Mack had two pitch
ers in that series doing most of the
work, and after the series was over
they were reported to be about
through as winners. One was Ed
Plank, who back in 1905 was thirty
years old-the age of a veteran. The
other was c. Albert Bender, the re-
nowned Indian. Plank failed to win
game. Bender won one.
Still There.
That was nine years ago Bat when
the Mackmen meet the Giants--Or the
Cubs, or some other club-MlCk will
still depend upon two pitchers for the
big show. One will be Eddie Plank now
thirty nine years old, and the other will
be Charles Albert Bender the noted
Chippewa. And they will be harder to
hit in 1914 than the ywere in 19U5-a
bet that you can play for a certain
gamble.
They said Plank was through last sea-
son and would be of little world series
hc.p. In the first game against the
Giants he shut them out for nine in
ninGs and was only beaten in the tenth
l the second start he held them u
brace of fiabby blows and beat them
with ease.
Fender won both starts. He has beat
en- the Giants four out of his last FIVE
world series starts. And today Bender
and Plank are moving along as evenly
as they ever moved before. and will; un-
dountedly be on edge for the October
furOre.
