ATHLETICS FLAG SURE;
BOSTON BRAVES SAFE
With Eight More Games to Play;
Results of Saturday and
Yesterday Factors
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Sept. 2S. - Winning
from st. Louis with u shutout victory
gave Connie Mack this years cham
pionship. While it is possible for the
Athletics to lose, it. is not probable.
Only a miracle can prevent the
Quakers from landing their sixth PEN
nant.
Boston worked into safe lead for
the National League pennant during
the past week. and nothing but base
ball miracle can beat the Braves out
of the flag. Sweeping through the
six-day period with a record OF eight
Victories and only one defeat, Stalling S
men established margin of eight ana
a half games over the tobogganinG
New Yorks who were swamped by
Chicago and st. Louis in the series
at the Polo Grounds, dropping five
straight games before they hnally
managed to pull out victory. The
&8raves have IL more games to play
and need only to win. three more to
clinch the championship, even should
the Giants win all their remaining l
games. ..- ..s- .... ..
Eight More Games TO Play
The Mackmen and Red SoX still
have eight games to play. Should the
Mackmen lose every one and Boston
win all, the Athletics would be lead
ing by 4 points, the standing being
95 games won, 81 lost, percentage
.625. while Boston's record would be
95 games won, 5S lost, percentage
.621. The Athletics and Boston have
tie game to play off, but as. these
two teams are not scheduled to meet
again this season there will be no
chance to play it off unless the Amer
lean League officials order 1t. This
could only happen If the result of the
game would decide the pennant win
I,a nroIN
to win one game more, there is no
use figuring out what action the Amer
lean League might take in such an
event
While it has been announced by
both Garry Hermann, chairman of
the National Baseball Commission,
and Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, that the series for
the worlds championship will start on
October 9, the dates will not be Of
fically announced until Wednesday of
this week, when the commission will
meet in this city. At this meeting
the dates, the arrangements for play
ing the series of seven games and the
manner of disposing of the tickets will
be decided upon.
The toss of a coin will decide
where the first game will be played,
and it means much to the club rep
resented by the lucky guesser, for the
first two games of the series will very
likely be played on the same grounds.
If the Athletics win the toss, the series
will open at Shibe Park and two
games will be played there before the
teams move to Boston, and if the
Braves win the toss the Mackmen will
go to Fenway Park, Boston, to open
the battle
The playing of two games will give
the teams a chance to leave Saturday
night and rest all day Sunday before
starting the third game, which is
about the best arrangement that can
he made.

Football Games Ordinary;
Green Men Were Too Slow
Central High Has Easy Time With EIizabethve Eleven;
Tech Wins First Game on POttsviIIe Gridron
BY "Unp''

Football on Saturday was just or
dinary While there were some sur
prises nothing happened to warrant
special reference, or to indicate what
is likely to happen later on. Green
men made many of the contests one
sided. Scholastic games showed strong
spirit. Many new aspirants are out
for gridiron honors.
The best that Penn could do was
fourteen points against Gettysburg.
Remembering that Penn last season
made SO points in the game with the
battlefield stars, there must be some
thing wrong at the University of
Pennsylvania. Harvard showed a lit
tie better with Bates. Princeton and
Rutgers had a game almost similar
to that of last season. One big sur
prise was Pittsburgh's triumph over
Cornell. The Indians nearly lost to
West Virginia. Last season they had
a walkover.
Central Has WaIkover
Central high showed very promis-
ing team at Island Park in the game
with Elizabethville high, winning by
a score of 81 to 0. Rote who helped
in most victories for Central last sea-
son was the big star in Saturdays
contest. Bingham. Byers the Froe-
Itch boys, Hilton and Smeltzer were
other stars. The Central team has
weight and plays fast game.
Elizabethville was outclassed but
offered a plucky lineup. The boys
deserve much credit. They were still
fighting hard at the finish, notwith-
standing the onesided score. Gallagh-
er, Martin, Kiefer, Uhler, Lentz, Zeg-
lar, Lehman, Hoke and Weaver put up
good fight. Elizabethville showed
lack of proper coaching. for there is
material in the lineup.
Tech Wins, Too
Tech high opened at Pottsville on
Saturday, defeating the Pottsville
high, score 10 to o. Beck was the To-
cal star. Emanuel played his usual
snappy game. New men were in evil
dence, too. but they need more prac-
tice. Tech offers IL strong team this
year, as a number of last seasons
players are still in the game. Potts.
Vile got into the game strong in the
second half, but could not score
Much encouragement came with the
work of Tech on Saturday. The line.
