 a matter of cold figures and fair judg- ment that Kopf he1ded the hot corner for the As better than Baker though of course he didn't measure up to the offens1vea value sof the Trappe, Md, farmer.
 If Kopf should be injured Connie Mack would be in a bad way for an infelder to act as understudy for the Baker Barry Collins trio. He's a great fielder in any of the three berths, is a fine hitter, presumably a S6O swatter when playing regularly, and is very fast, almost as good in this respect as Eddie Collins himself.
 esThe King nickname for Kopf came because he once played pro-ball when going to school under the name. of Brady He was with Toledo in 1s12. Mack took him South in 19 1S, only to look him over and give him some pointers and with the agreement that he go back to Toledo when the American association season started and exercised it this year. He went well down in Florida and has been a sure enough member of the world championship outfit ever since. He bats right or left handed, all of which depends on whether it's a left hand or right hand pitcher officiating fer the opposition. In the off season he occasionally plays basket ball. He's one of the best, and holds up his end with all of the cracks who pastime on the hardwood surface in Penn state in the fall z

BRAVES SHOW
 NO SIGNS OF
 CRACKING YET

Fourth pennant prospects for the Giants now rest on waiting and hop ing-waiting for the Braves to crack and hoping that New England wealth CT deprives the National League lead CTS of a chance to play all it's sched- uled home games
 Since returning to the Polo Ground the Giants have reduced the Braves lead to three games and the fact that the Cards and Braves were prevented in the last game of the series in Bos- ton made that possible. While the Giants were winning four straight from the Reds and Cubs the Braves were not being beaten-merely stalled for one day in their pennant rush.
 The team that must crack in order to put the Giants championship hopes on a solid foun dation has given no in dication of that tendency. Although the Braves were in last place on July IS the real fight for q footing in the race began on July G. when by win ming a double header fro mthe Dodgers the Braves became restless in their cellar berth. Since that date Stallings Sensations have proceeded at a 776 gait in accommodating vic- tories Games won and lost have been 52 and 15 respectively.
 Flight games are scheduled for the Giants this week and nine for the Braves Double headers at the Polo Ground win be played on Wednesday against the Cards. and on Saturday with the Pirates. The Braves have double bills with the Reds on Wednes- day and Thursday, and two games with the Cubs on Saturday. These double headers will test the Braves pitching stan The badly frayed Reds have lost IS straight games, and on the theory that any team is likely to win some time the tailenders may be ready for that ceremony by the time Boston is reached

KOPF, FORMERLY
 OF NEW HAVEN, IS
 STAR WITH AfACKMEN

All doubt as to the place '.Bill" Kopf, the former New Haven short stop, holds in the heart of Connie Mack, is dispe1led by a tribute to Kopf printed in the Boston Traveller.
 The writer went out of his way to pay one of the finest compliments to the lad that has ever been printed re- garding a substitute player in the big show. The article is as follows:
 William J. Kopf is one of the dia- monds Connie Mack picked up in a. more or less rough state and polished into first water briIIiance. In fact Kopf is undoubtedly the most valu- able inf1eld utility man in either big league. It takes 8 lad with lot of talent to be a good sub for three- quarters of $10, 900 infeld. And that's just the sort of task Kopf is up against
 .'Kopf subbed for Jack Barry at shortstop, when the old Holy Cross player was out of the game early in the season, and he went along so well that some of the snap judgment lads wanted to have Barry relegated to the shelf in favor of Kopf. Then. in June. he went to third when Frank Baker was out of the game. and it's

HOLD SECRET
 PRACTICE AT
 YALE GRIDIRON

Orders were issued last night by the Yale football coaches to close the gates of Yale field this week. The Eli squad will report this morning, con timing their preliminary practice which was begun at Madison two weeks ago.
 The. coaches are working on new formations and desire to devote this week to laboratory experiments Se- cret practice has never before been or dered, however, till after the season was about half over It was stated the gates of Yale field would be opened more this year than in any season in modern football history
 While the makeup Of the rush-Iine will be uncertain for several weeks, two drst-cIass sets of backs have been drilled into tip-top form at Madison The season will start with the regular quarter behind the rush-Iirle, about as follows: Quarterback, Alec Wilson, left halfback, Knowles; right halfbaclx. Ainsworth; fullback, PumpelIy. The second backheld will be: Quarterback, sMacLeish; left halfback, Chatheld- Taylor; right halfbaek, Easton or Roberts; fullback Wiser.
 For ends there are Whittlesey, Hig- ginbothem and Brann. all lively sub stitutes. Brann played in most of the Harvard games last year Mick Carter has been late in putting in an appear ance. His injured knee kept him from playing much last year and 1t is not thought that he will be used in the preliminary practice to any great ex- tent.
 Captain Talbot at left tackle, is tha only veteran of the rush-line. While a remarkably tenacious athlete he Is not heavy and it will be remarkable if he is able to outlast the important games It is expected that Charley Sheldon. captain Of the freshman team last year. win be given the other tae- kle position eventually, but an ankle. injured in tennis, will keep him out of play for two or three weeks
