WORLDS SERIES TALK
Majors Close Races Cause Worry to
 Magnates Already.

Owing to the closeness of the two major league pennant races, members of the national commission are handi- capped in efforts to draw up a schedule and make other arrangements for the holding of the worlds series, less than a month away. Although the date for the opening game has been unofficialIy set for Saturday, Oct. ', the fact that the commission is unable to determine which clubs will participate is ham pering the completion of many details.
 This problem, it was announced at New York Tuesday, will be fully dis cussed at Cincinnati Friday when the commission and the club owners gather for the annual drafting of minor league players. The situation may re- suit, it was indicated, in the extraordi- nary feature of preparing a number of worlds series schedules covering Ma tional and American league clubs which have a chance to win the right to compete in the baseball classic. Only three weeks leeWay will exist at the time the magnates meet at Cincinnati and it has been suggested that the only way to meet the conditions would be to adopt this broad schedule plan, probably including Brooklyn, Philadel- phia and Boston in the National league and Boston, Detroit and Chicago in the American league.
 Cobb in Desperate Spurt
 | of the American league is almost as thrilling as the bunting race itself. Slowly but surely the demon Tiger is creeping up on Speaker, and just a jump or so behind him is Josephus Jackson. The leading Indian continues to lace the horsehide, but he isn't hit ting with the frequency of Cobb.
 Cobb never in all his brilliant career has played with such earnestness, such daring and such fury as during the past month. He is risking life and limb almost daily in his efforts to top the league. Earlier in the season it seemed as if Cobb had slowed up, es- pecially in getting down to first. But, in the past month, Cobb has been rae ing to the first station at a clip beyond anything heretofore shown

 Benny Kauff, outfelding for the Giants, and a former team mate of Nagee, is well up among the leaders with an average of .259.

 Ed Konetchy, former Pittsburgh Federal, now playing first base with the Boston Braves, is slamming the ball at .260.

STAGE ALL SET FOR FOOTBALL
Great American College Sport is
 Aln1tst Upon Us.

Signals-27, 58, 145, right formation, 99. A, PDQ, shoot!
 Yes, footballs here. The weather
 isn't exactly suitable to the great
 American college sport, but the 1916
 sea son is upon us. It peeped over the horizon the other day with the circu- lation of the annual guide ard imme . diately did the fans begin to perusc the contents thereof.
 From now until the opening game acres of dope will be read and heard
 concerning the chances of various major varsity elevens for sectional championships. The shriII voice of the quarterback will be audible in less than a fortnight in some football camps,
 The big nine squads will hold their
 first organized practice Sept. 20, which falls on q Wednesday. But the hun dreds of candidates for the teams are not waiting until the nto set in shape for the campaign.
 Today the majority of them are training by strenuous work at summer resorts. Some of the less wealthy are incarcerated in offices earning money, but they've all got their minds fo- Cussed on that day when the coach
 first orbs them in full regalia.
 With the rule book available, about the first thing the player will do is to
 become acquainted with the changes
 over the laws of last season. Neither
 the player nor the fan will have to
 waste the midnight oil understanding the rules this year.
 Few and Inimportant alterations
 were made by the committee, and
 hardly one affects the onlooker. The changes Were. made more to clear up doubtful points than to affect the style of play.
 The most important of the amend
 ments concerns the safety. Under the definitions of that play, the man car rying the ball, if forced back across
 his own goal line, was guilty of Inaking g safety. However, another rule makes it incumbent upon the referee to blow
 his whistle at the forward point reach ed by the player; that is, when the player has ceased to advance the play

 If a foul committed hy a player de- lending his goal would deprive his rival from scoring a touchdown, the offended team will be awarded the touchdown.
 Players defending the goal will not be allowed to run into the catcher of
 the punt-out except in an attempt to catch or bat the ball. Formerly the latter could rush the runner back for
 a safety.
 If a foul committed by a player de- lending his goal would deprive his rival from scoring 9 touchdown, the offended team will be awarded the touchdown.
 Players defending the goal will not be allowed to run into the catcher of the punt-out, except in an attempt to players used to rough" the catcher of the punt-Out.

 The real contest developed in a tri- angular battle between Suldine, Lotto Watts and Bingen silk. Lotto Watts finished second in the first heat after a hard stretch dhel with Suldine, Lotto Watts closing fast in the last few yards to take fourth place.
 The battle for second honors in the second heat produced a stirring finish Rounding the turn into the stretch Suldine, Bingen Silk and Lotto Watts were almost on even terms about a length behind the speeding Murphy entry. Within 200 yards of the finish Trayner whipped Suldine into second place.
 Walter Cox drove Young Todd to an easy victory in the Syracuse stake for PIT pacers, winning in straight heats. Todd led the field in each heat.
 The 2.10 trot provided a thrill when Leonard drove M. L. J. to win the final heat after finishing sixth in the first and fourth in the second. The result was a surprise, as Howe Constantine had won the first two heats without apparent trouble. He finished seventh in the third heat, tiring rapidly after passing the half mile mark.
 Sis Bingen literally walked away with the 2.14 pace, winning each of the three heats.
