Emery Ball Questioned;
Ban Johnson to Decide

New York. Sept. 15.-President
johnson of the American League will
have to decide whether the emery
bali is legal or is to be classed with
the dum-dum bullet as a weapon of
civilized" warfare.
Ray Keating, pitching for the Yam
KEGS against the Athletics, struck out
Eddie Collins twice, Baker once and
Oldring once in the game the other
day. Collins protested vigorously when
he went to bat, and, as a result, Um-
pire Conolly examined two balls which
were in play. A round, fuzzy spot
about the size of a quarter was found
in each ball.
Connolly then asked that Keating
show him his glove. Neatly placed
in the center of the mitt Heating had
small piece of emery paper. He
had rubbed the balls on the emery
paper-thc leather of one was worn
almost through. Connolly said the
scheme enabled a pitcher to serve up
what is known as a "sailer," which
is extremely hard to hit.
Connie Mack protested to Connolly
against Keating continuing after the
emery paper was found, but the um-
pire said he could not examine the
pitchers glove every few minutes and
would have to let johnson rule on
the affair.

Worlds Series Dates
Tentatively Arranged
Special to The TeleRrabh

New York, Sept. 15.-According to
an unofficial report, the National
Commission at a recent meeting in
Cincinnati arranged tentative dates
for the approaching worlds series. 1t
is said that the annual classic will
open on Saturday, October 10, no mat
ter whether the Giants or the Braves
oppose the Athletics.
The triumvirate evidently has con-
ceded the American League title to
Connie Mack's team. If the Braves
represent the Tener circuit the first
game will be played at Fenwick Park,
Boston; If McGraw wins his fourth
straight pennant the Polo Grounds
will witness the inaugural clash.
The other dates will be October IL,
13, IA, 10, 16 and II, if seven games
are necessary. The games would al
ternate daily between New York and
Philadelphia. But in case the Braves
participate two games would be
played at the Hub, with an overnight
jump to Philadelphia for October 13
and IA. AS in former years, how
ever, in case of postponement or tie
the contending teams must remain in
city until the contest in allegiance
has been decided definitely. This Sc
ries is to be governed by the rules
which have prevailed for the last few
seasons. The players will share in the
receipts of the first four games only.

NUMBER OF MEN IN WARFARE
Thousands of Miles of Soldiers if
Lined Up in Marching Order

The man who is always ready with
facts and figures is now confining his
efforts to the great European war sit
uation. He first figures the number OF
men in the regular and reserve forces
of the various nations, then starts
them to marching in a single file and
computes the length of the line, which
runs into thousands of miles. Then he
places them four abreast and finds
that by marching in open order he has
a grand array of troops reaching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, with
the head of the line on a counter
march that just about reaches the
Great Salt Lake.
While the ever-preSent statistician
is having fun with his figures you can
get all the useful information gzR
need from the official European war
map which is now being distributed by
the Telegraph. This map is printed in
five colors contains the entire situa-
tion at a glance, splendid portraits of

up Old King Cole, who is not now the

elimination from the game may be
only for a short time but then again
it may last for the remainder of the

The Peerless Leader" figured in
another baseball sensation on Satur-
day when he threw up the sponge
and resigned as manager of the New
York American League team. This
move on the part of the former leader
of the Chicago Cubs in their cham
pionship days may forecast the per-
manent retirement from baseball of
Chance. He will relinquish the reins
of the Yankees at the end of the sea-
son, or Tuesday, if 1t can be arranged.
Chance resented being called
''quitter" by former New York Chief
of Police Bill Devery, one of the own
ers, in the clubhouse at the Polo
