PENN CREW COACH
 SAYS WORK MEANS BIG MENTAL STRAIN

"I have often been told that coach ing a crew is a cfnch,'' says Vivian Nickalls, former coach of the Penn Sylvania oarsmen. Easy berth, old man; sit in a chair in a. launch, holler through a megaphone at eight per spiring individuals for an hour or two and there you are, you know" That is the idea that the average man has about the crew coach.
 ..Now if they knew what a coach has to do outside lof that launch they would soon come to the idea that it is not such a cinch as it looks. A crew coach of. any university is really never off his job, and has more months of actual coaching than any other coach in that institution. The outside work is to see that everything is being fitted up ready for use when the start is made again, and there are very many small details that do not get done, if you don't see them done or do them yourself.
 After you have cut your eAndi- dates down to about six crews, .out of which you have to get three, the thing is to. get those candidates seated in the right order in the right boat, and later when you have them picked out, you will be all the time worried. One man is not coming on fast enough, another is getting overworked, they have a slump, and you have to reseat them ana your Sp1T1IS go IO Z0TOs aQO the next week you regain confidence in them, only to be let down again
 Many a sleep1ess night have I spent arranging and rearranging my crews, and my crew of last year was made up at o'clock in med by it suddenly flashing into my head that Marcy was the man to stroke, and it turned out to be so.
 Then you have to find out the temperaments of yoN< men. You can not coach all alike. Some you can drive and they row better if you drive. Others go up in the air One man you cannot talk to in a. boat, but have to tell him afterward, for fear he will sulk. The great thing is to get eight men of equab1e tempera- ment if you can. A disturber or a grouch on a crew is unbearab1e and hurts crew more than anything.
 eff I find a man is a disturber I take especial notice and re1egate him to the next crew, even if the man who takes his place is not quite so good. You have got to know your men to be a coach, and study them off the river as we'll as on, and they in their turn must place perfect confidence in. you.
 You will succeed in giving them confidence if you mix with them, talk freely with them, and if they know you have been through the gam your self. Personality is 50 per cent; 1; knoledge 25 per. cent, and ability to fmpart your Knowledge, 25 per cent"

The Last of the Old Cubs

Frank Mss Schulte. the last survivor among the Cubs of the old scrappy lineup which Peerless Leader Chance so often led to victory, will be thirty-three years old next Friday. Schulte celebrates his birthday just two days before his old leader, as Chance was born in Fresno, Cal. on Sept. 19, 1873. Schulte made his mum dane debut at Coch0cton. N r.. and played independent ball with Pennsyl- HYania and New York clubs before he started his league career with Syra- cuse in 1902, the same year that Johnny Evers butted into the game with Troy in the same league. FtScrappy Joan'' beat Frank to the Cubs. for he went to Chicago in 1902, and it was not until 1904 that Schulte Joined the Cubs. Although his old team mates of the Chance machine are now scattered far and wide, with sTinker, Brown and Reulbach with, the Feds, Moran piloting the Phillies,
 Evers with the Braves, and others in the minors or out of the game. Frank
 has stuck in the Cub outfe1d. First to last, he has been a credit to the game. and although he has never Franked as a diamond star of <the first
 magnitude, he has been steady and dependable.

PITCHER MAMAUX LOST TO PIRATES
 FOR THIS SEASON

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 16. The overbounteous feast of chicken and waffles may keep Al Mamaux, the National League pitching star, out of the game for the rest of the season. The Dormont boys ai1ment has been diagnosed by some physicians as ap- pendicitis, and though his case yields to temporary treatment it is said that he must undergo an operation sooner or later.
 Mamaux is at his home in Dormont looking down across the valley in Oakland. He was yearning yesterday for another crack at the Phils, but was unable to leave his room. He is in the care of physicians, and under treatment he is getting relief, but he will go under the knife soon, or at least immediately after the close Of the season.
 The young pitcher was seized with attack on Friday, this following one Ethat kept him in a hospital for some time last July. He lost eight pounds in weight and his condition became so acute that he was confined to his home. He hoped to avoid an imme- joining the team and doing some work, but last night 1t was reported he could not possibly don a uniform inside of a week and then it is doubt | full if he will be in condition to pitch k Clarke needs Mamaux now more than at any time this season because | of the first divisions accessibility and his eagerness to finish higher. Ma maux has won 20 games and lost 2, and fe looked strong and capable enough to lead the National League
 pitchers and win many more games. But it looks as though Mannaux would 1 be on the shelf until next year

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

17s5-Ben Burn, famous English pugilist Of a century ago, born in Yorkshire. Ben began fighting in 1910, and after several victories over good men he was matched with Dan Dogherty, the champion of Ireland. Dams powerful arm was too much for the Yorkshireman, and later he was defeated by Silverthorne, Palmer Jones'. Tom Spring and Tom Oliver Although his later records was com posed mainly of defeats, Ben always gave his opponents run for their money. Uncle. Ben' Burn long con tinued to be a sporting celebrity in England, and three of his nephews, Jen. Bob and John Burn, became prominent as pugilists. After quitting the ring stUncIe Ben'' became the bon iface of the Rising Sun Tavern in Lon- don. Ben had unusual cleverness for fighter of that period, and did not lack courage. but he was so. constitut- ed physically that he couldn't stand the gruelling of long battles with the raw 'uns.
 1S76-Marvin Hart. one time alleg- ed heavyweight champion, born near Louisville.

YANKEE DEFEAT
 HELPS TIGERS TO
 GAIN ON RED S0X

New York, Sept. 16-The old IBdian aeign the Detroit Tigers have on the Yankees was in good working order again yesterday at the Polo Grounds. The Tigers chalked up a. clean sweep of the present series by 9 score of 4 to 2 for yesterdays game, making their record for the season against Donovanss mem IT games won as against 5 lost Fsurthermore, it was the eighth straight defeat for the New Workers. The profitable series here has boosted the stock of the Tigers in the pennant. race. They are now on the heels of the Red 6ox.
 It was in the third inning that the Indian sign had it's inning Caldwell Issued two passes, and these, follow ed by three hits accounted for three runs and the game
 The Yankees got a run in the fifth and their other tally in the seventh. In the latter Inning it looked as if they had a chance to win the game. for they filled the bases with none out Bt1t CoveIeskie. who relieved Bo- Hand when things looked dangerous.

Mack Cancels Games When Attendance Drops;
 Then Goes Barnstorminq

Philadelphias Sept. 16-what a down fall for the former mighty Worlds Champions! The Athletics, who still are champions of. the American league. have had such small crowds that the management has been compelled to resort to bush league tactics to collect a few stray jitneys.
 There was no American league game here yesterday nor today. Today's scheduled game with St. Louis was played in a forced double-header last Saturday, while another artificial dou- ble- header will be created next Sat urday. when today's, scheduled game with Cleveland vii be played,
 In the meantime the Athletics are on short barn. -storn1ing trip, picking up Jitneys from the yoke1s in Delaware and Maryland. These are the Athlet- ics whe in their 15-yeaF career in Phil adelphia have won six league pen- nants, three worlds Cham pionships. and until this year have only finished twice in the second division
 Philadelphia is making Mack pay dearly for the sale. of Collins, Barry. Murphy and Shawkey, the release of Plank, Bender and Coembs and the enforced vacation of Baker.

SHERWOOD MAGEE DID NOT LIKE TO APPEAR
 AGAINST ST. LOUIS TEAM

When Sherwood Magee was with the PhiI1ies he hated to have to play against the Cardinals.
 It's this way,ss explained Magee one day When the Giants come along they begin to taunt us as soon as. they cOneon the field. Naturally this arouses our fighting blood, and we sail into them and ,frequently with success On the other hand. when the Cardinals arrive they are always full of good humor. They start to kid right away and wet get friendly. The result is that we don't go after the Cardinals in the proper manner, and $hey often get the better of a series with us4s'

HITTING ON BASEBALL
 IN BOSTON NOT NEW


 The amazing discovery has been made that open betting is fndulged in 1t the Boston ball parks. The same discovery could have been made at any time during the past 20 years, writes Bob Dunbar in the Boston Journal Who can remember at what game no knot Of betting fans huddled itbgether. with remarkable. symptoms cf frieudIiness, behind first base or 4hfrd2
 While betting is of course to be de- plored, the amount of it done at the ball pargs has never injured the rep , 4itation of the game of baseball as an honest sport The magnates do we'll to discourage the gambling Element

Johnny Griffths, p Tonnorrow,l Looks Like
 Lightweight Conner

Among the many contenders for the lightweight crown now worn by Freddie Welsh, not the least pronis- ing is Johnny Grimths, of Akron, Ohio. Johnny, who certainly looks like a conner, is still a youngster, for he was born at Wadsworth, Ohio, Sept. IT, 1893, and will be 22 years old tomorrow. If Grifhths should be- come the lightweight champion the Taff1es would not have any cause for grief, for the Akron boy has Welsh blood in his veins, and traces his de- scent back through a long line of an- cestors who lived in Wales
 Grimths stands five feet six and a half inches in height, is we'll built, fast on his tootsies, packs a nifty punch in either paw, and is a skilled boxer, game and aggressive as we'll as clever. He has been boxing as a professional for nearly five years. Most of his early bouts were staged in Akron. and ma jority of them were won by knock outs. After time Grih1ths began to visit Canton, Cleveland, Youngstown, Columbus and other Ohio towns for bouts with better class of boys. It was not until a couple of years ago that Johnny began to rningle with the lads of national reputation, but he didn't suffer by comparison with the best of them. He got a decision over Jack White, knocked out Phil Brock, and made an excellent showing against Charley White, Pal Moore, Johnny Dundee and others. Late in 1913 he made his first trip beyond the boundaries of his native state and out pointed Ray Temple in Milwaukee.
 Grifiths started the 1914 campaign by boxing Joe Mandot at Windsor, Canada Later last year the Akron boy set out to see the world and headed for Australia There he knocked out HugFie Mehegan. the Australian lightweight champion, and defeated several other boys, but the outbreak of the war cut short his Aus tralian activities, Since returning to top-notchers. Last February he out pointed Champion Freddie Welsh in a 12-round contest, and a little later he had a decisive shade over Joe Shu- grue, the Jersey City slugger, in a bout l in his home town. Last month he won on a foul from NGilburn Say1or | the Hoosier lightweight, and then l made his first trip to New York and outpointed Leach Cross. the hard ] hitting dentist = All of the New York | sporting writers agreed that the Ohio | WeIshman had the best of his com
 bat with the New r ork Hebrew. Grif- i f1ths also received referees decisions 1 over Joe Azevedo and Joe Mandot. He l has occasionally had the worst of ii 1 on points, but he has never been de-
 cisfvely defeated.
 Grif1th's showing against Cross | made him a favorite with the New l a hard nut to crack. Grif1ths still has
 his best years before him, and with a
 little more experience and by taking | good care of himself he ought to 1 make a, great name for himself in the
 squared circle.

YATES, WHO QUIT
 YALE, REPORTS TO
 PRINCETON SQUAD

Princeton, Sept, 16-Without any forewarning Ducky Yates. the star tackle of the Yale freshman eleven last fall, landed in Tigertown yester- day afternoon to pursue his studies at Princeton. His arrival came as a surprise to all, as he had been her aided as going to about every other college in the east but Princeton.
 Yates will not be eligible to play on the Princeton eleven this fall, but the Tigers will be able to use him for three years, as he is entering as a freshman. Yale was consider ed as having the biggest find of the season last fall when Yates went to New Haven, and the. big tackle meas ured up to all that was expected of him.

UMPIRE BYRON AND
 RED SMITH IN FIGHT AFTER GAME IN CHICAGO


 Chicago. Sept. 1e--A4 the conclusion of yesterdays game Umpire Byron and Red Smith of Boston had 8 fist fight The umpire landed twice ca the third basenan before Umpire OTtf and the Boston players could separate the bel zigerSnts. Smith kicked freely on By wonss calling of balls and strikes dur ing the game and went to Byron later to renew the complaint Neither party ito the fight was hurt
 Umpire Byron refused to comment on the battle, merely stating that he would make his report to the presi- dent of the league. however, several of those who were close to the partic- ldpants said that Smith was riding Byron because of his decision on balls and strikes.
 News Of President 5Tenerss decision on the arbiferss report is eagerly awaited about baseball headquarters E1lere. The Braves have fighting chance for the National league pen- Eant, and already have three of their ITRsulars out of the lineup. These are Schmidt, Maranvi11e and SnodgTass.

 Jess Willard, who has been going around the country kidding the public with his tame exhibition in the 101 Ranch show has come cropper in Wisconsin. The state law forbids box ing except in regular bouts licensed by the commission. The circus manage ment will probably charge the public a. quarter a throw to see Jess ride around the ring on a horse.
 Coach Haughton of Harvard has de- cided to use Soucy,1 one of his veter- ans, at end this season. Soucy was the regular center>antil he was. hurt last year. Harvard must have plenty of center material when it can afford to make an end out of Soucy.
 It's awful weather to mention such a thing but nevertheless the first game at. New Haven will be played one week from Saturday when the University of Maine meets Yale. eg5 lg
 Tim Hendryx, the leading batter of the Southern league, will report to the l New York Americans Sunday He is an outfielder. The Yankees certainly Iean use some hitters. Lute Boone will lose his job at second base because of weak sticking.

Wagner's Watch Tower

In Boston today there is more ex- citement' than you can shake a stick at. The Red Sox and Detroit Tigers start their series which will decide the American league penna-nt. With Tigers only two games behind the Red Sox, Carrigans men have good, cause for feeling anxious On the eve Of his departure for Boston last night Manager Jennings of Detroit said: T am satisfied that if we capture the series in Boston we will win the pen nant '' Jennings has been grooming Dauss, Dubuc and Coyeleskie for the Red Sox But the Tiger boxmen will have to show considerable improve ment if they expect to hold the Bos- ton sluggers.
 In the National league the PhAlies suffered a reverse in Pittsburgh but lost no ground as the Braves were also Beaten. Brooklyn was the only team that prof1ted. The Dodgers re- mained idle but slipped back into second place when the Cubs clawed the Braves.

CHIF IRISH BOOTH.

The Algiers charitable spirit which
has become famous, was in evidence
once more this time at the great char
ity fair of Chit Banded together I'M
der the auspices of the Irish colOrS,
number of Algiers' best matrons la
bored faithfully and successfully to
a great success, indeed, was the re-
suit of their efforts. Their booth was
acclaimed one of the prettiest, and the
large patronage showed that it was
popular. Too much credit cannot be
given to the chairwoman of this de-
partment, Mrs. Morrison. Her untir-
ing efforts deserved the success she
achieved. She is most thankful to all
the kind ladies who so devotedly
helped her to hold up Algiers' reputa-
ton. Thanks are also extended TO the
young colleens, who were irresistible
in their Irish costume. They were
here and there and everywhere, entic-
ing, begging and, most of all, selling.
FIR Larkin contributed his lions
share of the work and boosting. Mamie
Morrison and May Leary were most
faithful in their attendance and good
work. They could not be refused
when begging for sweet charity.
The inevitable wheel of fortune was
in evidence, and it was run by a real
expert. People voluntarily gave their
money to see a real Irishman at this
work
Bill Bonner, Jr., received the ma
hOgany chiffonier, valued at SIS, do
mated by d. H. Holmes Co. Thanks
are extended to all who contributed,
especially the Dominican Sisters, Sis
tiers of the Charity Hospital, Good
Shepherd and Hotel Dieu, ID. H.
Holmes & Co., Marks Isaacs & Co.,

Note-A phone message from Fa-
Their Petit says that the Irish booth
was proclaimed to be the banner
booth, having turned in the largest
receipts.
