EASTERN hOCuLS
 ALLOW DUFFY TO TRANSFER HIS CLUB

Worcester, Sept. 23.-The directors of the Eastern league are not yet read,r to take the plunge for another cam. paign. They don't know whether they want to split up the circuit into two sections as was formerly the case be- Tore the merger was made. They do Know they have had enough of a 1O- club circuit and that they have an eight-club in prospect for another sea- s6n in case the dissolution idea does not go through. No less a staunch merger advocate than William E.Carey of Springfied has seen a great light and has been sounding out his fellow directors in an effort to bring abouta return to the. old Eastern association and New England league.
 The mercer lea g,,ers got togetber yesterday afternoon at special ses-- sion and what little actual business, was done didn't take a great deal of time to consumate.
 Outside of the bad weather, the Eastern league owners have one of their biggest kicks in the long jump to Portland. Me, where Hugh Duny. controls the franchise. They all want Duffy to quit Portland and are more emphatic in their desire if the Eastern league continues to operate next sea- son with eight clubs By way of paw ing khe way for a shift by Duffy and at the same time be in a position to hold Portland. the directors agreed to allow Duffy to transfer his club, bu: the change must have the approval oc the league. Duffy doesn'tssay that h, is going to transfer. but there have been stories without number to- the effect that he is prepared to take the leap, ff,
 Fitchburg was also talked to some extent, but only in connection with the revivaf-of the New England league The men in that end of the circuit are not so anxious to go back to the old order of things, while the, Eastern as- sociation men are almost at the stage where they want their old league back under almost any conditions. J. H. >C1arkin of Hartford. who has been a heavy loser this past season. is said to be one of the staunchesr advocates tf change as is William/E. Carey of Springfield.
 These men look at Springfield. Hart ford. Worcester, New Haven. Bridge port and Pittsfield as the ideal circuit. The New England men are talking of Fitchburg. .Haverhill. Lowell. Lawrence. Lynn and Worcester in case they de- eide to drop the merger plan. Both sides insist they need Worcester and while the talk'is going on the Wor- cester owners are laying back, wait ing for the move they intend to make. which will be of the greatest good to themselves.

YANKEES UNABLE , TO HALT CHICAGO
 IN. PENNANT FIGHT

Chicago, Sept. 23-That great pas time of following the leader was con- tinued yesterday at Comiskep Park, after the brief interruption by the Athletics, when the White Sox de- feated the New York Yankees, 6 to 8, in the first game of the final ' home series.
 It was damp game, interrupted once for fifteen minutes by rain, and was a free-hitting contest Eddie Cicotte pitched a good game, but he was hit for eleven safe blows. This total included the whole fracas, while the Sox harvested ten safe hits off George Mogridge, who twirled for the Yankees were seven innings, while two more were made off Fisher in one inning. To punctuate the combat were some prodigious swats, Pipp and Schalk getting two-basgers, while Baker and Felsch achieved triples.

He went in in fear and trembling. He tells the story himself

On many. college gridirons today the footbaA season was given Its ini-
 tial push. Harvard tackled Colby at Cambridge, Holy Cross played the Conn. Agg1es at Worcester and Dart mouth lined up against New Hamp-
 uhire at Hanover, N. H. The 1nfantile
 paralysis epidemic and the formation
 of student militia delayed the opening
 of several big elevens. Cornell,
 Princeton, Pennsylvania and Yale will not start their campaigns until next Saturday. Yale next week takes on lCnrne9ies Tech. at New Haven.
 It Is too early to predict the out come of the gridiron championship struggle. Harvard. Princeton and Cornell have the advantage over their rivals because their coaching systems have been established longer! Of course Speedy Rush has been at Princeton only one season but that is long enough to get the players ao-
 uuainted with a coach's methods. Yale n experimenting with Tad Zones and ! lPennsylvania has called FolweH, who

 Owner Ebbets' of Brooklyn is trying series seats and the more he explains the worse he makes the situation. With a seating capacity of about 2S,OO0 Ebbets is>trying to make the Brook lyn receipts equal those Of Braves field in Boston. which seats 42,000. Eb- bets says Brooklyn civic pride would not. want the receipts to fall below those of Philadelphia last year. When a fan Is asked to pay g for a bleacher seat he won't give a hoot for civic pride. Then Ebbets caps the climax ny saying, "It would not be highly un reasonable if the box seats had sold for $10 a game" If he ever getS into worlds series again he'll probably boost the price to $1O.
 Kopf, the New Britain boy who is getting Ia tryout with Cincinnati, has been playing fne ball at shortstop. He made two hits s-against Boston yes terday. It was an odd trick of fate that the tailend Reds should put the Braves out of the race for the pen nant.
 There doesn't seem to be any way to stop it. Frank Moran and Fred Fulton will meet in a ten round bout in New York October 12. Fulton will do his training in New Haven. But there's one consolation. You Idon't have to sec this bout unless you want to.

THE MERE MAN"

In his book, The Pulse of the
World: Fleet Street Memories, NAL
colin Stark gives what he believes is
the origin OF the expression, mere
man." A Scottish doctor, he says,
wrote as follows
The earliest use of the phrase
known to me is in the shorter cate
chism, where 1t is said, mo mere
man since the fall is able in this life
perfectly to keep the command
ments." The phrase caught on in
Scotland and was probably brought
to England shortly after the union.
The only difficulty in the way Of this
theory is that 1t allows barely two
centuries for the English. mind to see
the Joke.
This last sentence is indeed carry.
