TWO HOMERS BY KAufF AS GIANTS
 WIN IA STRAIGHT

New York, Sept. 20-There may be a lot of pirates who can ply their trade in thds town and get away with 1t, but they do not hail from Pitts burgh. It was at the expense of the Western Buccaneers, commanded by James Callahan, that the Giants at the Polo Grounds yesterday added two more battles to their string and brought their count of consecutive victories up to fourteen.
 The Corsairs had no more chance than a man with money at a charity bazaar In the first conflict McGraw's S warriors hit the ball until they alone wore out the leather and won by g to 2.
 In the second engagement Charles M Tesreau held the enemy safe and was duly credited with 5 to l vic- tory. Tes had fine control, a large amount of speed and sufficient amount of saliva to see him through.
 It was a great day for Benjamin Violet Kauf Benny regards single much as a thirsty man in the midst of desert might regard a drop of water It's fine, but there isn't enough of it.
 In the fifth inning of the first game Scott tried to sneak a third strike over op the former flower of the Fed eral league while he was having a little argument with Bill Klem as to which of them needed glasses. This very unfriendly act so incensed Benny that he promptly damned the sphere into the right wing of tho grandstand in eninently fair territory.
 His second home run was made off Evans in the sixth frame of the clos ing conflict. By way of variety he clouted the ball into the upper stand instead of the lower. This made three home runs for Kauff in two days.
 Jacobs started the first battle yes- terday against Anderson. Neither man remained until the finish. The Giants climbed aboard the Pirate box man in the very first inning when they scored three runs.
 In the fourth inning Carey drove a homer into the right field stand-it was an afternoon of home runs-and the Pirates then filled the bases on a hit by Hinchman and bases on balls to Wagner and Smith. At this point Benton replaced Anderson Hinch- man counted on F1scher's out, but af- ter that the left handler held the ene- my scoreless for the remainder of the contest,

EDDIE MARIAN HAS
 BEGUN TO COACH
 CALIFORNIA TEAM

New Haven, Sept. 20.-Eddie Mahan. the ex-Harvard football star. and later a member of the Colonial baseball team, has arrived in California and has already assumed his duties as coach of the University of California eleven, Mahan will begin as a. foot ball instructor better fitted than the average man who takes to coaching his first year out of college. Mahan played on a school team under un- usually good coaching and at Harvard was under Percy D. Haughton and Leo Leary.
 Haughton and Leary have devised Q system which teaches the game more thoroughly than those at most colleges and the Harvard graduate generally knows a little bit more, if not whole lot, than the average player who has ended his college gridiron days. The Harvard system also throws consider able responsibility upon the captain, and no captain got on at Harvard in recent years without knowing every little detail of the game. In the bar gain, Mahan possesses all attributes necessary in teacher and handler of men. -5
 .At Berkeley he will probably have many green players to coacE. Foot ball there is new. The American game was abandoned eleven years ago and last season marked the return. For ten years the university was repre- scented by Rugby team. Many of tho school teams whereabouts took up Rug by, too. Doubtless many candidates will start football for the first time. This is considered by most coaches as teach novices, they, say, than to cor rect old faults

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS DRAFTS ON
 MANY YOUNGSTERS

Cincinnati, Sept. 20.-Several bis league clubs who had chances to get players in the draft cancelled the drafts yesterday by sending notice to Secretary Bruce of the National conn mission. H , New York Americans cancelled on Rawlings of Toledo and the choice from this team reverts to Cleveland. They also cancelled their second choice on Minneapolis, and owing to the fact that the Philadelphia Americans can- celled first choice yesterday, the Bos- ton Nationals now have first choice on Minneapolis.
 Cleveland cancelled second choice on Vernon, Cal, and as the Philadelphia Americans cancelled first choice yes- terday the selection goes to the Boston Nationals. The Boston Nationals can- celled their third choice on Indianap- olis and also cancelled on McCandles of Dallas.
 The Chicago Americans cancelled on Mulligan of Kansas City and on Mon- treal, the player from which team they had not named. Both of these drafts reverted to Washington for selection, but the latter team immediately can- celled on Kansas City.
 The Chicago Americans also can celled on Richmond, Va. (player orig tnally not named); Breen and Carlson of Rockford. Ray and Lake of New port News. League of Rocky Mount and Roberts of Owensboro By Wash dngton's cancellation of second choice on Kansas City, Philadelphia Ameri- cans have the opportunity of selecting a man from this team
 After Washington had cancelled first choice on St. Paul yesterday Chicago Nationals. second choice. named Cruise Of that team, but yesterday they changed their mind and cancelled on Cruise, the selection from St. Paul falling to Brooklyn, third choice.

For First Time in Nine Years Detroit Star
 Falls Back.

In the National League the batting fight continues te be furious. Zack Wheat. the Brooklyn Bombardier, made an appreciable gain on Hal Chase, the present leader. Chase fail ed to get hit off Jeff Pfeffer in four times up, while Wheat made two in three times at bat. All of which &C., counted for difference of four points in their relative standings. Ho-nsby and Daubert neither gained nor lost ground.
 Here are how the four leaders in the National League stand to date.

Short Sections of Fan Fodder

The Chicago White Sox might have made better fight in the Red Sox
 series if they had the services of Jim
 Scott. The pitcher was suspended six
 weeks ago for failing to keep in con-
 dition and he was not restored to
 good standing until yesterday.
 It is said that Ray Caldwell, the Yankee pitcher who went on a spree
 the last time the clubs played in St. Louis, has been in a sanitarium in
 Missouri since then. He has written
 several letters to Monager Donovan
 asking to be reinstated but the only
 reply was to leave Caldwell a ticket for his home in New York state. Caldwelrs fall from the wagon cost
 him several thousand dollars in sal- ary. .r4. ka. ss That Welsh-White bout in Colorado
 Springs was financial as we'll as an
 artistic failure. Persons who were hurt when portion of the stands collapsed have brought suits for dam ages aggregating $15O.000.
 | Since his return to the game Baker of the New York Americans, has been pounding the ball hard. He belted a home run in St. Louis yesterday. There was talk that Fred Mitchell. who has acted as assistant to Manager Stallings in Boston, would be the next manager of the Chicago cubs. The
 Braves have put stop to this rumor by signing Mithell to three-year con- | tract. A writer in the New York Mail says that with the crop of veterans on hand Princeton will probably beat both
 Harvard and Yale on the gridiron this year. The Tigers will need aeroplanes
 to get over that 220-pound line Yale boasts about.

RED SOX OWNER TO REWARD PITCHERS WHO
 BEAT DETROIT TIGERS

New York. Sept 20-If the Red 6ox win tho American League pen- nant President Lannin will not for get the pitchers who have beaten the Tigers since the Eastern teams began the present trip in the West. Already tkawkey of the Yankees and Myers of the Athletics have upset the De- troit team. Lannin hopes that Walter Johnson of the Washingtons and one of the Bi owns boxmen also will ac- icomplish this desirable feat.
 The owner of the Red Sox says that 6hawkey. Myers and the others will be handsomely rewarded by him if his team takes part in the Worlds Series. The Boston magnate believes in re- turning favors,

The local authorities were notified last night by the police of two. cities New Haven and New Britain, that automobiles had been stolen from their respective cities. The New Brit ain authorities asked the local police to be on the watch for a touring car, and a roadster.

EASTERN 1917 CIRCUIT.

Plans for the 1917 circuit will prob ably be discussed at a meeting of the Eastern league directors which has been called for next Friday at Worces- ter. With Lowell and Lawrence out of the way the problem Is now to dis pose of Lynn and Portland. The clubs in this section de net want to make the long trip te Portland and Lynn is also considered too far.
 Judging by an interview with Hugh Duffy of Portland the matter may be settled without bloodshed. Duffy is quoted as saying he favors a return te the days when the New England and Eastern had separate circuits. That solution would help the Eastern magpates out of a delicate situation. The present feeling is that no city east of Worcester should be taken into the circuit. The lineup most popular with the directors is Springfield. Worcester, Hartford. New London New Haven. Waterbury, and Pfttsf1eld.

Yesterday, In a statement made before the Detroit Boston game, he conceded Iris Speak CT, of Cleveland, the championship for the current season..

REr sOx ARE THERE.

You have to hand it to the Boston Red Sox for coming through at criti- cal times, When Carrigans men started west the critics thought the club was about done as a flag con- tender. Instead of that the Red Spx braced when they had their backs against the wall and of their six games on the western invasion the club has won four. By beating the Tigers in the first game of the i'm portant series yesterday Boston ad vanced to a lead of more than a full game over Detroit.
 / In the National league Brooklyn gained a game on the Phillies by beat ing Cincinnati while Moran's men lost to the Cubs. The Braves are only twof points behind the Phillies and may soon take second place.

Knocking the knocker" is
another pastime which apparent
ly affords US much satisfaction
If not amusement.
Every town has its knocker
and just as sure as he gets out
his hammer he finds the com

him. 1t is a case of the survival
Of the fttest, and ofttimes the
professional knocker is the worse
knocked of all.
Some knock for the love of it
others from habit, while a few
1T seems, knock from the pure
cussedness of it. In any case
they knock, and, likewise, they
are promptly knocked in turn.
Knocking, forsooth, is a great
game, and everybody plays il
these days. We, in fact, are do,
ing a little of it ourself.
