 After that occurrence Pat had some thing to say to Mayer about loose, care less pitching in all cases, to say nothing of doing it in a pinch. Well, take it from me, Ersking will never be guilty of that again. [ have had many similar exper- fences myself, although my errors of judgment on these unpleasant occasions were not precisely like that of Mayer
 What I have said of the pitchers ap- plies to everybody on the club and to all classes of plays. Pat has installed more baseball knowledge into the Phillies club by showing them exactly where and why they were grong than any other manager ever did in the same length of tfme.. Others may get away something's by soft words, but Pats method is the one that wins, take 1t from me, and that's why we won las year and are going to win this season.

AUBURN ELEVEN ID MAKE 1916 DEBUT IN
 HOWARD STRUGGLE
Will Afford Fans an Excel lent Opportunity to Get Good Line on Auburn's
 Prospects

Birmingham football lovers will get their first taste of the 1916 season next Saturday. when the Auburn Tigers come up to take on the Howard college eleven at Rickw ood park. It will be the first scheduled game for either team and the fact that Auburn will be in action will bring out big crowd for an early season game.
 Auburn's possibilities are always unknown to the general public this early in the season, since few real in side facts come from the Auburn camp for publication. The game with How ard will give this section of the state an opportunity to "get line on what Mike Donahue has in the way of pros poets.
 It is known that Auburn is going to have an uphill fight this season to eliminate Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech and much of the backing that Bir- mingham will give the Plainsmen will come from the showing against the Baptists here Saturday. If Auburn can get away with big margin over How ard it should mean good boost for Tiger stock.
 Scarcity of real football material out at Howard this season has about elogged the news wires from the Bap- tist headquarters.
 Reports are that Howard is passing up the high school athletes who want Inducements" and is giving her at tention to building from her home grown material for future years. Whatever the Baptists are able to pro- duce this season in the way of a team must depend upon Dr. J. B. Longwell, the old Pennsylvania star, who is known for his ability to develop raw material and puI out fighting squad.
 Howard showed good fight in her unannounced practice game against the Blountsville Aggies last Saturday, rolling up a score of 2S to 0, and that with the Aggies outweighing the Baptists fully 10 pounds to the man. All of which means that Howard has an unusually light team and what it lacks in weight and experience it must make up in fight.
 Auburn has always beat Howard, the score ranging from II to to S4 to O.. Saturdays game will find Auburn try ing to pile the score and Howard try well. the Crimson and Blue boys may be counted upon to put up a good fight it matters not what the odds may be.

Boston, October 2.-With the pennant won, the Boston American today defeated Philadelphia, to 3, Earnest Shore pitched five hitless innings and was then relieved by Jones in pursuance of Manager Carrigans policy of giving his pitchers only enough work to keep them in condition for the worlds series
 Most of the other Red Sox regulars were kept in for only part of the game. Probability that Jack Barry who has been out of the game a month with a broken hand would be able to play in the big series, developed with his ap- pearance at practice. George Foster, the convalescent pitcher, also tossed few balls in practice today.
 Boston will play a double header with Philadelphia tomorrow at the grounds of the National league here to allow the Boston men to become accustomed again to the field where part of the world series will be played.

Phillies Lose Ground in Pennant Fight
Pal Moran Is NOt An Easy
 Manager, Says Alexander
Phly Manager Popular With PayersTreats All Fairly Mayer Cured Pitching Loosely to PitchersMoran Has
 Instilled Plenty of Baseball Knowledge in the Phies
ny GROVER CLEvELAxs. ALEXANDER

It seems to be the general idea of fans throughout the country that Pat Moran is one of the easiest managers on his men of any leader in the big leagues. As a matter of fact, the reverse is true. While Pat is probably the most popular manager with his players in either the National or American league, the reason is found in another direction.
 Moran is popular with the players of his team because he is a real man; he treats everyone fairly; says exactly what he thinks and says it to the men them selves and not to some one else. l have heard that much dissention has been caused in the ranks of the different teams because the manager was the center of a clique in the club the members of which have a habit of passing the buck" to the other members of the club when they are in a slump or when they lose a ball game. This, of course, is all wrong. There could not be clique on the Phil lies club if there were any tendencies in that direction because Pat would not stand for it.
 Right here I might say that Moran S dominating personality which prevents all of that Klu-Klux Klan stuff is one of the big elements in his managerial success. I know that there is not a man on our club that l don't chum with, and don't think there is one that every other member of the team does not like personally The element of personal riv- airy is a. nonentity as far as we are con cerned and it can be attributed directly to Pat Moran himself.

Rut I started out to say that Moran is not the easy-going manager that he IS often supposed to be. He drives us when we are on he field. That is my idea Of the correct method of running a ball team. You can't handle team of 25 or more players on the field unless your
 word is absolute law. I have seen too many incidences of this not to know that
 it is true.
 One of the funniest things I ever heard
 came up the other day when we were in
 Boston. One of-our players, I won't say
 who, made a play that he should not
 have pulled off. Luckily, it did not cost
 us the game, but that is aside from the
 question. The play occurred when we
 were at bat and Moran was coaching on
 the first base line As the guilty player
 came off the field, Pat put his arm around
 his shoulder in very affectionate man.
 ner and walked to the bench with him.
 I learned afterward that some one re-
 marked in the grand stand that Pat got
 along well because he used this form of
 kindness toward his men instead of the
 rougher methods employed by such man
 agers as McGraw, Tinker and Stallings. But the truth of the matter is that while Pat was walking off the field in such a loving manner with the player who had erred, he was rattling off a superheated brand of New England conversation that would melt the bold front of Heine Zim- merman.
 Whenever one of us pulls a bone-headed play it is just as well to prepare for the worst, for Pat is going to say a few things and say them in perfectly intelligi- ble United States, although all of the words will not be found in Webster's s. But want to say that while we are rid den by our manager for a bad play, he never says anything that is not just. He knows the game himself as we'll as any
 man in baseball and you can count on it that if he says I pitched badly to a certain player, that is just what l did He knows the batters in the National league from A to z and whenever one of our pitchers goes wrong he hears about l it immediately.

The Progressive Revolt.

From The Philadelphia Record.
1t is significant coincidence that the call
issued by John NJ. Parker, the Progressive
nominee for Vice President, for a national
convention to be held in Chicago next
month. when full Presidential ticket will
probably be put in the field, should be sent
out the same day that the Bull Moose
State Committee in New Jersey repudiated
the Endorsement Of Hughes foisted on the
party by steam-roller methods Clearly
the same spirit Of disgust and resentment
animates the Progressives In both North
and South and will lead to effective ac-
ton. The step taken In New Jersey, which
Is similar to that taken In Massachusetts
and other States. will in all probability be
followed by like reputation in New York
this week. A poll Of Progressive senti-
ment in many States made by New York
paper shows fierce anger against the
methods followed by Perkins. Roosevelt ct
al In selling out to the G. O. P. for their
purely personal advantage.
All this is perfectly natural. When the
Progressive party was formed in 1912 Il
included many persons who were actuated
by the highest motives and took them
selves seriously. They rallied around Theo-
dore Roosevelt because Of their disgust
with Republican politics and because they
thought the Colonel had been badly treated.
They did not. however, put their consciences
and principles in the keeping of that shifty
individual. and when. after unparalleled
loyalty on their part. he threw them down
so basely at Chicago because he feared
defeat they felt themselves absolved from
all allegiance to him and his ambitions
The Colonel has been talking prodigious.
deal Of nonsense about what he calls
Americanism and the sins OF the Wilson
Administration. but this is specious stuff
intended to becloud the issues and cover
his betrayal Of his friends. II is worth
noting that in the discussions Of the Pro-
eressives no importance Is paid to these
matters. They know that the President is
straightforward and patriotic and they
confne their attention to party treachery
rather than to elittering generalities.
II is entirely in keeping with Roosevelt
egotism that the Colonel has always looked
on the Progressive party as a sort Of per-
sOnal possession, with which he could do as
he chose. He apparently never imagined
that II possessed men who would refuse to
be turned over to the Republicans because
Of some deal made by Perkins. These men
are now showing their indignation over
such a purely selfish course. Whether or
not they put third ticket in the field
they will certainly never be enrolled in tn e
Hughes ranks.
