The Brave Smash Up.

something has gone astray with the Braves since their wild upheavaI in 1914. It may be that the feat of coming from; last place in July to the top and then crushing the Mackmen four straight took about all they had for some years to come.
 They Were favored to win last sea- son-but fell by the wayside. They were again favored this campaign. but after holding their own until the stretch arrived where they were sup posed to be at their best, they once more landed on the skiddery and be- gan to crumble up.
 It may be the vital spark began to flicker when Johnny Evers began to slip after his injury and Bill James went to the discards with a useless arm.

Penn Team Starts Work.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-The new Pennsylvania. football coach, Bob Fo1well, drove sixteen husky, sun- tanned chaps through the opening practice of the season at Langhorne yesterday. The Red and Blue aspi- rants worked, out in light gridiron regalia for two hours.
 The usual early season exercises were gone through, but they were done in an unusual way, for the new director of Penn football kept his men at it, hard driving the entire practice. Passing and falling on the ball, bunting, catching, and charging g were the order of the day. The squad arrived at Langhorne shortly after 2 o'clock in charge of FolweH and As- sistant Coaches Dickson, Buck Whar- ton, Harold Gaston, and Len Jourdet.
 mile jog with a long, strong sprint was the first thing ordered. That over, the men took to field and received instructions in handling the ball. The pigskin then was tossed around from player to player. Later Shorty Loucks, Bert Bell, Bill 'Quigley, and Jeff flaw lev were sent up on a hill to punt down to their mates. The five stars of the freshman team of last year were on hand. Hobart Light, full- back: Bud Weiser, end; Ertresvaag

When One is We'll Off.

You never know when you are well off in golf" says Walter J. Travis. And In the same way you should never figure that you are beaten. I saw several holes played during the recent championship where one man would have two fine shots and be on the green, and the other would have three bad shots and be off the green, yet able to get his half through a fine chip shot and fine putt, where the other man took three putts The fact that a man has made a bad drive or 8 bad second shot should never be a discouraging factor, for upsets and startling changes come quicker in golf than any game I know"

 his court. Mclaughlin in his palmiest
 days never played with any more
 dash or generalship than did Williams
 in this memorable match. Against him
 was pitted the brainiest player of
 the tennis world. William M. JOhn-
 ston is without doubt the craftiest wielder of the tennis racket of the present day. Tn fact, many class him
 as the wisest of all time. The Cali
 fornia champion employed every me-
 thOd known to his fertile tennis brain
 to outmaneuver Williams. All of his efforts brought forth fruit. The present title holder was master of his crafty California rival and defeated him be- cause of his ability to put forth a better brand of tennis. Williams feat of scoring a comeback on the tennis
 map will do much to increase interest in the game. Many experts were of the opinion that the national title holder of 1914 had tackled too hard a job when he essayed to win back
 his national honors in this season. s

PIIZ OFFERS FIELD.
High School Gridiron Warriors May
 Play Schedule at Fairgrounds.

The dilemma confronting the man agement of the New Britain High school football eleven regarding a To- cation for the playing of this seasons schedule, may be solved by the offer made by Director A. A. Pilz of St. Mary's playgrounds yesterday, who generously donated the use of the grounds. Tn seasons past the Electric Field has been the home of the High school football, but owing to the poor conditions that exist there it would be practically impossible to place the grounds in shape this year. Facili- ties for reaching St. Mary's grounds are of the best, the north end trolley line passing directly past the entrance. l Many persons would be able to walk to the field, condition that did not exist at the other field. The land at the field is ideally adapted for foot ball a new gridiron having been laid out by the grounds director It is probable that the offer will be taken up with the school board.
 A new golf course is one of the added Improvements being made at the grounds, two workmen being en- gagged now in making the links and it Is expected that this work will be completed in time to play next week.

 The Phillies have pretty we'll proved themselves to be the strongest club in the National league. They proved this by the summary punishment i,,4 stretch upon three first division clubs. Brooklyn, Boston and New York. Last year they won by getting out in front and staying there To know that variety which is often called the spice of life, they are about to switch tactics this year by winning after a rather rickety start. They were not given a chance to win through the rliddle of August. It was either Brooklyn or Boston. But by the time their main batteries had been trained upon the two leaders there was very little but debris left. If the Phillies are beaten out, the dope referred to above will be worth about 10 cents a Eogshead. The Rcd Sox Stand On the last Western invasion the Red Sox won twelve out of eighteen games. They gained ground on Detroit and Chicago, but lost ground to St. Louis. On this next trip there are two clubs the Red Sox must beat with fair decisiveness to win. One is l Detroit. The other is Chicago. JJn- ! less Carrigan can win the series from 1 each of these clubs he will be m ] against it, for while his Hneup is 1 facing four tough machines in suc- cession; his two main rivals will be feeding at odd intervals upon the Athletics, and the National, with a. husky n1bble ready for the Tanks, who Tor some reason appear to get depressed and moody when they set foot upon soil.

Rubbing It Tn.

New York, Sept. 12.-Eppa Jeptha suggests much brain power, and the pitcher for the Phillies who labors under this title has plenty of brains. That no one can deny. Rixey learned his baseball, along with his Greeky, Arabic, and archaeo- logy, down in the University of Vir- ginia. On the ball field Eppa can usually concentrate all his brains to the subject at hand, but yesterday at the Polo grounds he couldn't, and he was so liberal in one inning that he gave the Giants six runs in a game which the remade McGraw team won hv a score of to A.
 The Brooklyn Robins, although thev lost to Boston yesterday, still cling to first place, with the PhilIies second and Boston third. Tn trimming the Phillies yesterday Manager McGraw cid his friend Wilbert Robinson of Brooklyn another good turn.
 Rixey was, kept in the game yes tcrday until he was pounded beyond recognition. In the eventful fourth inning, when the Giants corraIled their half doezn runs, twelve batsmen faced Rixey. It took him a long, long time to retire the side and for some moments it looked as if the sun would be in dark repose behind Coogan's Hill before he could do fl. The score: .'.'.

After leading the league for so long the Robins were due to f1utter down a perch or two, but they have the stuff in them to come back for a winning drive.

 Liking Of Hub Team

Boston Mass, Sept 12.-The Robins fell back into punchless base ball against the Braves yesterday and failed to take advantage of the Giants body blow to the Phillies. The Braves, although still wabbIy, managed to bat out a to 1 victory against Rube Marquard, while Pat Ragan, once one of Charley Ebbets' men, had the Robins tanned for the greater part of the afternoon.
 Boston made eleven hits against Marquard, punching four in one in. ming and three in another, while of the. Robins five hite against Ragan, a single by Olson and questionable double by Chief Meyers were all that saved the leaders from being shut out.
 For about two-thirds of the dis lance the game was a real contest. Hank Gowdy had his batting eye working and banged off two doubles and two singles against Marquard. He started things moving the Braves way with a double in the third inning and soon cantered home on Ragan's single. After this it was a fight down to the seventh, when the Robins broke into the game sufficiently to tie the score, this being the occasion when Olsons single to center was followed by Meyers boost over Sherwood Magee's head. The old Quaker played the ball badly. and although he lost 1t after action with both hands, he received no condemnation from the official scorer. The score:
