MACKMEN PREPARE FOR WORLD SERIES National Commission Will Meet in Philadelphia
 Tomorrow

Philadelphia, September 2S.-Now that the Philadelphia American league baseball team has clinched the cham pionship of that organization. officials of the club are making active prepar- ations for the worlds series.
 Each team still has eight games on their respective schedules. If the Ath- letics lose all eight their percentage would be 1925, while by winning all Boston would have a percentage of .621.
 The victory of the Atheltics in the American league race would give Con nie Mack his sixth championship, new major league record.
 Under his tutelage the Athletics won the league pennant in 1902, 1905, 1910, 1911 and 1918, and in the last three years they also captured the worlds championship.
 The national commission will hold q meeting here next Wednesday to make final arrangements for the worlds series, the first game of which probably will be played on either Qc- tober 8 or g.
 Whether Boston or Philadelphia will secure the first game will be decided by the toss of a coin

GRADUATION OF STARS HITS
 UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

 The line is going to be heavier than last season. It is going to weigh l90 pounds from tackle to tackle and 1s0 from end to end. This with a backfield averaging 170 will give the Georgians plenty of weight.
 Squad Is Speedy
 The speed is also there. If the players can be taught football they will make all opponents hurry before the end of the season.
 Coach Cunningham believes that the team will show slow form in the earlier games, gradually finding itself and by the November games will be formidable fear
 In the face of such an uncertain out look, the schedule that has been arr ranged for the Red and Black eleven this season is one that will make the team travel at it's fastest pace at all times. This may work a hardship unless the substitutes develop sufficiently. to the point where they will not weaken the team if injected into the fray
 Georgia played here first game of the season against Dahlonega on Saturday. On next Saturday, she meets the Citadel team from Charleston. Then starts the hard games.
 Sewanee. North Carolina Virginia. Mis- sissippi A. and NJ, Clemson, Tech and Auburn will be played in that order, d schedule that would be worthy of the steel of any eleven in the south.

Athens. Ga. September 2s-(Special.) The University of Georgia was probably mt harder by the graduation of her football stars than any team in the south
 First and foremost. they lost Capt Bob McWhorter, all-southern halfback for four years, and Captain-elect Dave Paddock, who was considered the likely choice this season for quarterback.
 The loss of these two men alone was a severe blow, but Carey at half and Powell at full were also lost, putting it up to the coaches to develop an entire new backfield
 Logan, who played end last season has been shifted to Paddock's place. but the Red and Black will not have as heady a field general no matter who they get. ter.
 Broyles and Selig, last years under studies to McWhorter and Carey, will probably grab the regular halfback posi- tions this season, though there are sev- eral new men who are showing up promi- nently.
 Charley Thompson, who played half and full last season, will attend to the bucking proposition this year.
 To Elect Captain
 First and foremost Georgia must elect d captain to succeed Paddock Henderson, the big tackle and the teams punter, will probably be given the place.
 Delaperriere, center: Conyers and Fur ner, guards. and Malone. tackle are all lost from the line. Conklin, the best de- fensive end Georgia eyer had, is also lost to the team
 Several new men are, being tried out for the center position.- but none of Them have shown anything over the others yet to warrant prediction as to who will make the berth.
 Thrash, McKinnon, Mcconnell. Purcell and Brown, all sub line men last season. with experience in several games during the 1913i season, are back and with a wealth of new material from Georgia prep schools, the line proposition iss not worrying the coaches mllch.
 Hitchcock. Owens. Smith and Howard McWhorter, a brother of Bob, are all candidates for the end positions. The first three are really veterans as they plaXed in parts of every one of Georgia S games last season.
 If the new men can be taught suf- ficient football to make them valuable, even as subs, to relieve the worn out regulars during the games. the Red and Black eleven of 1914 is going to sbe a formidable one.

Frank Wildfire Schulte, sole sur viving member of the once powerful Cub machine, is not going to be voted an auto by the Chalmers jury of news paper experts this fall, but he holds one record that may never be shattered not made this year. however The rec ord in question is in the line of con secutlve hitting and was made in se- ries for the championship of the world F. Wildfire, the records show. missed connections with the sphere only in two Of the 21 combats for baseball's greatest honors in which he took part. He got one or more safe wallops in each of the contests played in 1907 and 190s missed once in 1906 and missed once in 1910. The engagements in which Schulte went hitless were with the Sox on october 12, 1906, and with the White Elephants on October IS, 1910, the pitchers who placed zeroes in Wjldfire's base hit column being Nick Altrick and Jack Coombs. Schulte is the only player who has ever hit safely in every game through two suc- cessive worlds series.
 The lone athlete who has bingled in every contest of a six-game series Is Chief" Meyers of the Giants. He did this in 1911 against the Athletics.
 Players who have hit safely in each game of five-contest series are Schulte, who has done so twice, and Eddie Collins and Danny Murphy of the White Elephants. They have per formed the stunt once.
 Tho bact reoor1 for seyep- game Sp- ries in the consecutive hitting line is to get safeties in six contests. Tom and Davy Jones of the Tigers and Hans Wagner of the Pirates hold record of this kind. For an eightgane series the best exploit has been to get bingles in seven games. In 1908 the trick was turned by four pIayers-Stahl and Col lins of Boston and Sebring and Clarke of Pittsburg-and in 1912 Yerkes and Speaker of Boston Accomplished the feat. In 1903 Stahl got one or more hits In every game except the last; Col lins in every game except the rlrst The men who annually have made the best records in the consecutive hitting. line in games for the worlds title are named below:
 Series of 1903: "Chick' Stahl and Jimmy Collins of Red Sox and Fred Clarke and Jimmy Sebring of Pirates each hit safely in seven of the eight SC mes. Stah1 missed connections in the first game, Stahl in. the eighth, Clarke
 in the fifth and Sebring in the fourth. Series of 1905: Roger Bresnahan and Arthur Devlin of Giants each hit safe 1y in four of the five games Bresna- han missed connections in the third game. Dev1in in the fifth.
 Series of 1906: Frank Schulte of Cubs hit safely in five of the six games. missing connections in the fourth.
