Low PERCENTAGE WINS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-Regardless
OF the actual outcome of the National
League race it appears to be an al
most automatically certainty that
the winner of the 1915 pennant in the
senior organization win finish the sea
son with percentage Of less than
500. Assuming that such win be the
case it viii be the first time in the
history Of the league that the flag has
been won with such low percentage.
Not since the league was formed
in 1876 has the winner in any one year
fallen below the 900 mark and the
average for the 80 years is .6S1. The
Chicago team of 1880 holds the rec
ord with .79S while Brooklyn's victory
in 1900 with sos is the lowest to date.
The complete record of the pennant
winners in the National League from
1876 TO 1914 is as follows:

FANS SHOULD TURN
OUT IN FORCE TO
SEE TODAY'S GAME

One Of the closing games Of the
1915 season win be staged this after
noon when the Boosters and Grays
clash again at Warren Park A spe-
cial appeal is made to the fans of the
Warren District to turn out i'm force
and give the players a tangible demon
stration of appreciation for efforts
which have given local lovers of the
national game a weekly chance to see
their favorite pastime during the past
several months
All the fans know what may be eX-
pected when the Boosters and Grays
surely nothing short of a game
in which every player is striving his
utmost TO win The contests between
the two local rivals have consistently
attracted a much greater show Of in
terest than the games with outside
teams.
Somehow or other, there seems to
be some particular incentive to win
which actuates every player Of both
teams, whenever the Grays and Boost
ers come together
There is no reason I'm the world
why with clear skies, there shouldn't
be a record crowd at Warren Park
today There's but little time left TO
show appreciation of the players and
managers efforts. Aside from being
moved by a natural desire to see a
hotly contested game the fans should
be anxious to take advantage of one
of the last opportunities of showing
Chat they appreciate unselhsh efforts

EXTRA INNING GAMES.

August was a month of extra in
ming baseball games. The Chicago
White SoX established a record of
eighty-nine innings in eight games, in
three of which the Washington Club
figured as opponents. Evidently peev-

record making purposes by the Chi

ington players proceeded to go the
White SoX one better by continuing
the extra session games at St. Louis
and New York until they had amassed
a record of 102 innings i'm nine games.

oEERs FINANCIAL CHAMPION

Recently compiled records show
that Pop Geers, the veteran Grand
Circuit driver, has won more than one
million dollars in purses since he be-
gan to handle the reins back in 1890
His best season was in 1902, when he
totalled $116,370 Ty Cobb, Packy

sport will have to keep going at top
speed if they hope to equal the record
made by the wizard of the reins.

to the speed and break Of the ball it

it imperative that the pitchers be pro

The Red Sox seem TO be the FREEDOM
inant favorites among Warren District
students of the national pastime, al
though it's a bit hard to understand
just why the Hub baseballers should
be deemed so unquestionably ahead Of
the leaders of the older league. Both
the Phillies and Red Sox have been
going like the wind Of late and to one
on the outside it appears as if the
problem Of picking the winner might
be a hard one for the closest followers
of the records of both mines. If the
present interest is maintained there
should be considerable betting among
residents of the District who are will
ing to occasionally back their opinions
with their currency Whether or not
those who like the Bostonians think
enough of their judgement to offer
odds becoming to their confidence is
another question
