An added incentive has been given
the Boston Nationals over night,
They held their own, the Giants fail
ing to gain yesterday and now comes
the news that the first worlds series
game will be played on October 10.
and that the National Commission
tossed a coin and the National
League gets the first battle. The Inn
port of this new phase Is Just this.
If the Braves win the National
League flag and hte Athletics cap
ture the American League gonfallon,
the jump will be too long for one-day
stands Boston, therefore. viii get
the first two games of the series on
her home grounds, which is a decided
advantage. The next Two will, of
course be played at Philadelphia.
October 10 is on a Saturday and
Fenway Park would probably burst
open with the mass of fans that Will
jam into It's portals If Boston gets
into the big series. The Braves are
so cocky that they feel they have as
good chance as the Athletics OF
winning the blue ribbon, no matter
what happens, but the new break
gives them redoubled confidence that
the pennant- winning luck Is with
them.
Christy Mathewson, the minute man
of the Giants, VISA showed into the
breach yesterday anil he shut out the
doughty Dodgers A great catch of
a terrific line smash from Getz's bat
with two on the cushions by Larry
Doyle preserved Matty's row Of
blanks The ball was hit so hard that
nobody saw 1t until Larry leaped In
the air and fetched it down after a
burning smack that must have scared
his glove. :,
Boston had to fight with all the
strength ct its command to down the
Phillies. -Four of Stallings's second
string pitchers were used to throttle
the pills. and the team was tagging
behind a 5-4 score, when in the ninth
Dugey batted for Moran and started
a rally that Melted two runs and a
e-5 verdict for Boston.
Today the Braves have one game
with Brooklyn at the Hub. while the
Giants must meet the Pills twice at
Quakertown.
Neither the Cubs nor the Cards
were able to play yesterday because
of cold weather. and both lost ground
to the leaders. The detailed standing

RUTT'S DEPARTURE
AHELP TO SPEARS
Bob Now Has Excellent Chance
to Capture the
Test.
FORM PLAYERS AT WORK

With Walter Rutt not among the
starters i'll the Test, the big sprint
race at the Velodrome tomorrow. the
chances of some other stars will be
materially increased. Rutt is said to
nave sailed for Germany to take up
arms against the allies Alf Goullet,
Cesar Moretti and Rutt were the ia
Norites in the big race, the winner of
which is to meet Kramer in a match
at the following meet at the Veo-
drome.
Bob Spears will rank next with Rutt
out, and the real battle in the race
VIII probably be between Spears,
Goullet and Moretti. They appear to
be the contenders, but in such n
classy field that has time and again
proved to be extremely evenly bal
anced it would not be surprising TO
see one or all of the fayorites shut
out; but figuring the results in the
Derbies meet and the meet Of
Wednesday night Spears, Goullet and
Moretti look like the best men, and
unless the breaks are against them
they will probably fight it out between
them for honor of meeting Champion
Kramer in the match.
The Ninth Heat.
According to the form players tioul-
let, Spears and Moretti will go
through to the ninth heat with a per
feet score of four points each by win
ming their first two heats. If this
proves to be the case then the ninth
danifa fha IA bn
shall meet Kramer in the match. They
figure that Bailey will be beaten by
each of the riders in the ninth heat
and they do not figure Clark or
Grenda as having a chance and poor
Frank Cavanagh is not, according to
their chart, going to score single
point; but all of this may be wrcng.
Banley is getting better all the time
and as he was dangerous when he
was not in the best of form the Eng
lish champion may be the one VINO
will upset the calculations Goullet is
figured to beat Grenda and Lawson
in the first heat and then accomplish
the DOWNFALL of Fogler and CaVanagh
in the fourth heat. The latter will
probably be easy for "Goullle," but
the first heat is sure to be hard one
Lawson is a pretty fast bike rider
now, AMI he can just about decide
who will win that first heat If Gonl-
let loses then a victory in the ninth
heat will not bring him through a
winner of the race unless Moretti and
Spears meet with reverses in one of
their heats prior to the ninth.
Moretti will meet Bailey and Fog
Ter the first time out, and he GER
tainly looks like the choice in his
heat. In his next heat the Italian
will be up against a harder PROPOSE
ton in Grenda and Clark, but on the
showing he made against Kramer
and Goullet in the Derby Revenge
he should come through a winner.
Spears has Cavanagh and Clark in
his first heat, and with a display OF
speed such as won the Revenge final
he will win. His next heat is with
Bailey and Lawson, and again Spears
appears to be the likely winner. Then
will come the ninth heat, which Is
figured to decide the race

lot of riding before meeting Egg

will be able to encompass the defeat

MISS DARLINGTON
SINGLES CHAMPION
New Haven Girl Defeats Mrs.
R. A. Pope for State Ten
mis- HOnOrs.

Continuing the same smashing
game that she had previously played
in the tourney, Miss Anita Caring
ton, the New Haven champion, won
the New Jersey tennis championship
for women yesterday on the Morris
town Field Club courts. In spite of
the cold weather a large crowd
watched Miss Darlington defeat Mrs.
r. A. Pope, of New York, 6-1, 6-l,
in the final round.
Miss Darlington, however, lost in
the final round of both the doubles
and mixed doubles. Mrs. c. w. Beard
divided the honors of championship
in the doubles and mixed doubles with
Mrs. L. Cassebeer and Otto Hinck.
The doubles score was Ga, 6-3, and
the mixed doubles tally, 90, Cd.
The result in women's singles was
foreshadowed by the excellent playing
of Miss Darlington, who defeated sew
eral of the best players in the metro
politan district The winner outplayed
the West Side Tennis Club player
throughout and the result was never
in doubt after Miss Darlington won
the first five games of the opening
set. She played with great judgment
and accuracy, her back court game
being particularly strong. Twice in
the first set Mrs. Pope forced the
games to deuce, only to lose in the
end.
While the result of the second set
was the same as that of tn first Mrs.
Pope made a better showing on points,
but as Miss Darlington was engaged
in the women's and mixed doubles
she did not exert herself after OBJ
tanning a safe lead.
Miss Darlington played wonderful
tennis in both the doubles and mixed
doubles finals, and it was no fault
of hers that she did not win.
