There is little to choose between them

said before, however. it looks like a
very close thing because Of the short
ness of the series, with the Phillies
having an edge in pitching, If Chal-
mers can help Alexander"
1t is to be hoped that the day will
come when Walter Johnson can pitch
great shape in the cool of the fall OF
the year, and there is no limit to the
number of games he could pitch in
such a short series. and probably win
them all.
Alexander is believed to be as compe-
Is proved he Is very apt to make the
Red Sox bite the dust. There is a lot
of advantage in having a seasoned star
twirler in such a series, and if what
club said about Chalmers is true, Pat
Moran is apt to have two very good
pitchers doing the bulk of the work for
him against the Boston champions.
The local base ball season will close
here Wednesday. For the final three
games Connie Mack's Athletics will be
here. 1t is needless to say that this
team is not a good attraction this year,
hence the attendance figures for the
year at the local park are not apt to be
very much stimulated by the coming of
the champions of last season, who are
occupying last place in the race this
year.

Yesterday was a hard day for the big
eastern foot ball teams. Only Cornell
and Princeton came out Of their games
with colors flying, making scores
against their opponents that really
were creditable for a big university In
a contest with a smaller institution
Critics everywhere were conceding the
odds at least even. and possibly favor
ing Rutgers, before the start OF the
game. Rutgers had been training
whole lot longer than Princeton. and
it was thought it might win. That the
Tigers proved capable of coming across
with a 10 to victory is indicative OF
exceptional strength and great poten-
tial power. Cornell won easily from
Oberlin. scoring four touchdowns.

WEST POINT, N. Y, October 1.-The
Army and Holy Cross fought to a draw
here today in the opening game of the
local foot ball season. The score was
IA to IA. The cadets could not stop the
airline plays of Holy Cross. two of
which were for forty yards and which
Melted touchdowns.
On the other hand. the Army's at
tempts at forward passes failed miser-
ably. Straight foot ball gave the army
its two scores. Loose handling of the
ball and mediocre punting was re-
sponsible for some of it's poor work.
Ford and Mitchell starred in line
sma shing tactics for the cadets. PEN
alties were frequently inflicted upon
both sides for offside play and holding.
