BUFFALO WINS PENNANT.
Bisons Grab Bunting in International
 League.

New York, Sept. 2O.-The Interna- tional Baseball league ended its sea- sOn today with the pennant going to Buffalo after one of the closest fin- tshes in years. The championship was not definitely decided until today> when Fuffalo won by taking one game of a doubleheader, while the Provi- dence team, last years champions, lost two gaines to Toronto. T'-c two teams at the finish were atcd b, little over a game.
 Providence assumed the lead early in the season and held it until the middle of this week, when Buffalo forged ahead. The Buffalo team was managed this year by Pat Donovan, former scout for the Boston Ameri- cans.
 Just before the season opened the Baltimore club was moved to Rich mond, Va, aud during the summer the owners of the Newark franchise transferred it to Harrisburg, Pa.

ANNEX WIN SERIES
 FROM THE PIRATES
East End Team Takes Second Game from Younger Opponents in
 Fast Contest.

The Pirates threw a scare into the Annex camp when they started an eighth inning rally and come within an ace of winning the game. The An mex won out by the score of to B., but the Pirates fought to the finish. Charlie Miller trotted out Moore to uphold the pitching end for the Pir- ates, and the youngster pitched a fine game despite the fact he lost. The Pirates found Schneider a tough prop osition to hit, when hits meant runs. The Fraternal league star was in some tight holes, but aided by some good fielding and effective twirling he managed to squeeze through. The Annex chalked off two runs in the opening round. A. Blanchard walked and a passed ball put him on second, Schneider flied out and Holleron famed, but l.. Blanchard hit liner to center, scoring A. Blanchard. Pol son unused up l.. B1ancnard's hit and he continued on to second, from whence he scored on Huck's two-base blow. One more run was added in the third when Schneider walked, a steal put him on second and L. Blan- chard's double scored nim. The final run came in the seventh when L. Blanchard went to second on an er- TOT, and a bad error py Moore al lowed him to score. The Pirates had fine chance to score in the second inning. Poison and T. Grove walked and O'Brien singled, filling the bases Poison was forced at home on Sul
 livan's hit to Cabellus, Mack famed and Grove was caught asleep at sec
 ond. The Pirates got one run in th' seventh, when Kiniry walked, a stea

has been quite @ spell now since Haughton, with his efficient coaching and fine material, has known the sea my side of the game.
 He was one of the few who with stood the upsets of 1914, when dozen champions were overthrown. This season his material is we'll below that of 1913 and 1914, when Harvard put into action two of the greatest ma chimes of the game. If Haughton can weather the 1915 sportive gale that has been roistering up and down the land he will be even more of a marvel than he has shown himself to be for the last six years.
 Nothing Left.
 With the Gibbons match over,'' comments a contern- porary, there is now no boxing match in sight worth any general in- terest' We can name at least two that will be we'll beyond a dozen Me- Farland-Gibbons meetings. One is Willie Ritchie vs Freddie Welsh-at twenty rounds The other is Jim Coffey vs. Frank Moran at any dis tance you care to name. Either will produce five thrills against one de- veloped from a clash that is eighty per cent defense.
 The Waning Hope. Ordinarily Philadelphia might be counted safely in so far as the Ma tional league flag is concerned. But there is one final hope which is turing both Braves and Dodgers on. Both clubs are making a hard battle to stay within range of the Phillies l until the last week of the season ar l rives, when this hope will be put to a ] test.
 1 Starting on September 2S, the Phillies meet the Braves in four games at Boston, while Brooklyn is 1 meeting the reeling Giants, who by that date will be utterly devoid of any 1 further ambition.
 At the end of this meeting the 1 ohillies face the Dodgers in threc l games, while the Braves are tangled up in four games with the Giants. So both Braves and Dodgers at the finish have a four-game affair with the Giants, while the last seven Philly games are against Braves and Dodgers.
 There is always the chance that any club, with the flag so near may
 
 edge of victory. The trick can be turned, as the Dodgers proved short time back when they raked the Phillies for three games in three ] starts. It's long shot, but if either Dodgers or Braves are within three i games of the leaders by Septem be1 29 there is still a bleak chance left l that the Big Upset will come. Against this pale green dream of empire both stragglers are hanging on.
 In making any flag computations enc might remember that seven years ago on this day the Giants were ever nearer the flag than the Phillies were. They were regarded as sure winners. But with the old banne, fapping just a rod or two on beyond the Giants proceeded to lose batch of games to the Reds and Phillies

FEDS SEND CHALLENGE.
President Gilmore Sends Challenge tc Older Leagues For Post-Season Serici

New York, Sept. 2o.-The Federal leagues second annual challenge to organized baseball, suggesting a, pogt-season series between the cham pion teams of the two factions, was mailed by President James A. Gil more vest erday to the members of the National commission. He volunteered to turn over the Feds share of the gate receipts to any charity named by President Wilson, Mayor Mitchci- and Chicago's Mayor, w. H. Thomp-, SOn.
 Though Gilmore is aware that the National and American leagues are forbidden by their own rules to par ticipate in such series, he makes g fervent plea for if, saying: Tn every other branch of sport competition is encouraged.

hits, runs and stolen bases-the three main departments of attack.
 Also Alexander.
 Col. G. c. Alexander has been as valuable to the Phillies as Cobb has been to the Tigers.
 Grover the Grappling-Hook has been the most valuable single athlete in his circuit. His great pitching vas a potent factor in launching the Phillies into their first spurt, and when they began to skid later on his super-m -miraculous work checked any sudden descent.
 Alexander is something more than a grand pitcher. He is as fine a fellow and as clean sportsman as the game has ever known. He has been willing to give his best in or out of turn, and his best has been sufficient to win over a third of the Phillies' victories. Cobb has already been awarded an autom obile, and the pity 1 Of it is that Alexander doesn't get 1 one for his great work-as he l doesn't happen to be one of the big makers of the game.
