CLARKE LIKES PHILLIES.
looks to Quakers to Down Red Sox
by Close Margin.

PITTSBURGH, September 3o.-Man-
ager Fred Clarke Of the Pittsburgh
Pirates has this to say of the world
series games:
"In a short series the pitching is the
keystone of both offense and defense
and one man can generally pull his
team through if he is in form. Alex
ander, to my mind. is by far the best
pitcher in the country today, and If Pat
Moran can afford to rest him up for a
week before the series begins without
letting him get stale he will come
across with a victory every other day
/ believe Mayer will bother the Red
Sox, although I am not in position to
say much about the American League
champions. But believe that Luderus
and Cravath will bat as well as Speak
er, Hooper and Lewis, and Moran's
pitchers will measure up with Carri-
gan's mound men. l look for tn, Phil
lies to win by close margin"
Evening star., 1915-09-30

Had Detroit been beaten by the
Browns yesterday the Red Sox would
have had the pennant cinched and ar
rangements for the playing OF the
games could have proceeded at once.
Detroit has but three more games to
play. while the Red Sox have seven.
Two of these are on the local grounds
and five in New York. That New York
team always has been troublesome for
the leaders, though If Detroit should
lose a game it would not matter
whether the Red Sox lost all the games
they still have to play.
The Braves will most likely finish
second in the National League race,
and 1t is remarkable that they have
made such good showing. One
Of the mainstays of the team last sea-
son was Bill James, the big right-hand-
ed pitcher, and the Braves have not
had his services at all this season, bar
ring a couple of games he lost early in
the contest. That the team should have
six clubs finish behind it with its star
twirler on the hospital list speaks well
for it's strength and system, and If
sure to make big difference in the
Braves showing.
Pat Moran must be credited with one
of the greatest managerial feats in the
history of base ball. Philadelphia has
been represented in the National
League for thirty-nine years and not
once during that period has the team
won a pennant. This year when Moran
started the season he was in charge OF
a team which seemed to be largely ex-
perimental. Doom and Magee. two of
the strongest players on the team, Sc
far as reputation was concerned, were
sent elsewhere and Moran was not fig
ured to have chance in the race which
he has won.
True. he picked up a prize in Ban
croft, the shortstop, and the return OF
Chalmers also made a remarkable diff
ference. but for all that Moran must
be given credit for the excellent sys-
tenn he employed in handling his play
ers. who under him displayed gameness
and spirit. The Red Sox may win the
world title, for it is the better team
but there would not be great surprise
II Moran should continue to display
superiority in management and also
win the title series.

PLAY FOR DISTRICTS TENNIS
TITLE REACHES SEMI-FINJALS
Stars of the Tourney at Dumbarton Club
Meet Today for Chance to Oppose
Gore in Finals Tomorrow.

As result of yesterdays play in the
annual fall championship tennis tourna-
ment OF the District, on the courts of
the Dumbarton Club. the mems singles
were swept down to the semi-finals and
splendid progress made in the other
events. The bracing weather was very
much to the liking of the players and
they were on their toes all the afternoon.
The gallery was large and only toward
nightfall did the atmosphere change TO
such an extent as to make wraps COM
Portable. Followers Of tennis in Wash
ington were quick to see the attractive
ness Of yesterdays card and at an early
hour began to arrive at the Dumbarton
grounds, and by O'Clock the largest
gallery Of the tournament had assem-
bled.
The victors OF the afternoon in the
mems singles were Alfred Gore. Ballard
Moore and Gould Lincoln the latter pair
being carded to play this afternoon in
. the semi finals, the winner to meet Gore
in the finals for the championship of the
District.
Moore Defeats Treanor.
The best match Of the afternoon was
that between Ballard Moore and Paul
Treanor, the former winning by the
scores of 81, 7-5. Both men are in
tip-top condition. The display of tennis
was very good and the gallery was con-
tinually applauding the contestants for
exceptional shots or exciting rallies at
the net. Treanor appeared to be over
anxious at times, while Moore. cool as
the proverbial cucumber, was watching
him like a hawk. 1t frequently happened
that Treanor would dash away in the
games and run up TO 80 love. when Moore
would strike his stride or wake uD and
shoot to the fore after he seemed hope
lessly beaten. To use racing phrases,
Treanor gets away from the barrier well.
while Moore is best in the stretch rus
or at the finish.
Following is the card of the match:
FIRST SET.
Treanor 49, { 1 s. 4 ! 4 / 4 3-53-T
SECOND SET
Moore. 4474l4 523 442-1
Treanor. 65 4l4 3 49,
The second best match of the after
noon was that between Albert Gore
and Lou Doyle. the former winning, 6-4
and G-3. Gore put up his regulation
steady game. making almost impos-
sible gets and seldom went into the
net or out of bonds, while Doyle car
ried the battle to his opponent at
oyerplayed himself in trying to score
points. The Dumbarton player has
about 10 per cent edge on Doyle and
this developed in the two sets as
shown in the scores.

generally taken by Gore, and as a re-
suit Hoffman had to go at top speed
all the time to score points. The serv-
Ice of the veteran has spin to it that
makes return difficult and just a little
carelessness in meeting the ball will
carry it into the net or out of bounds.
Mrs. Bethel Winner.
The play in the women's singles
added to the attractiveness of yester-
days card. several of the players
working down into the second round.
The feature battle of this group was
that between Mrs. Bethel and Miss A.
NJ Doyle. the match going into three
sets and being won by the former.
6-S, 6-3 and IO-S Mrs. Bethel cap
tured the consultations at the recent
Columbia Club tournament, being at
the top of her game, managed to beat
out Miss Doyle, who, while playing
good tennis. seemed to be over-confi-
dent and frequently lost the edge
when il came to rallies close to the
net.
Good headway was made in the
mems doubles and mems singles con-
solations, the latter event simmering
down to almost walk-over for
Douglas Hillyer, who was put out Of
the running for the title by Gould
Lincoln last Saturday.
The drawings last evening for the
women's consolation singles resulted
as follows: Miss Snow VS.. Mrs. Shep-
ard. Miss Orme VS.. Miss Seibold, Miss
Wyeth VS.. Miss Hinckley, Miss Stone
VS.. Miss Smith.
