PHILADELPHIA BACK
/ OF QUAKER TEAM
City Roofing for Phillies.
Alexander is Popular
Hero.

With the chances OF the Phillies
landing the flag in the National
League most promising, the Quaker
City is going baseball mad. Not be.
cause Philadelphia is for the first time
going to have a team In the series for
the championship Of the world. but
on account Of the fact that the Phil.
lies seem certain to play the winners
Of the American League pennant In
the October baseball classic. The
Athletics, under the leadership OF Con.
ME Mack, have participated In several
OF the big events in the last decade,
but the National League team in
Philadelphia has been fortunate
enough to win the pennant in their
league, and the fact that they are al.
most sure to cop this season has
reused the interest In baseball in the
Quaker City to a fever heat, and II
Moran's men take part in the series
this fall with the American League
winners. It Is certain that Philadel.
phians will turn out in great numbers
for the contests staged In the Quaker
City.
The game fight that has been made
by the Phillies this year has won for
them the affection OF every fan IN
Philadelphia, and they deserve the
confidence Of the public. Moran, in
his first year as a major league man.
ager, has shown that he has the abil-
ity to handle men and to get the best
out of them that is possible and great
credit is due him. He is a popular
hero in Philadelphia today and II he
wins the pennant he will be given the
full credit due him.
Another thing that makes the SEEM
ingly sure victory Of the Phillies in
the race for the National League gon.
Talon so popular is the fact that Alex
ander, one OF the greatest pitchers
the game has ever produced, a chance
to show his skill in the battles for the
championship of the baseball world.
Alexander is a wonderful twirler. hut
he has been unfortunate in having
been connected with n team that
never could land in front. 1t now
seems that, greatly due to his own
efforts. his team will come out ahead
this yeat and he will have his long
desired chance to try his hand in the
big games!
Walter Johnson is another great
tgirler who has always been with a
trailing organization. What a wonder.
full attraction It would he to have
Washington and Philadelphia fight Il
out for the supremacy Of the baseball
world.
There Is not a ball field in the coun.
try which could hold one-third OF the
fans who would be willing to pay al
most any price to see a game in which
Walter johnson and Alexander the
Great were the opposing twirlers.
Baseball fans from coast to coast
are pulling for the phillies to land
and with Alexander for an added
drawing card, the coming October
series promises to be one OF the best
in the history of the game.

Battle is Imminent.
That a great battle upon Greek

late developments.
That the French war Office re-
