Tender Winner in
Battle With Dundee

Philadelphia, Oct. Lew Tender,
e. Philadelphia newsboy, leaped into
national fame last night at the Olym-
pia by earning a clear-cut victory
over Johnny Dundee, the great Italian
lightweight. Both weighed in at 1870
Pounds, but Tender had an advan-
tage of height and reach. He is a
southpaw and that, coupled with an
awkward style, puzzled Dundee. In
fact the latter tried to reach the elu-
sive newsboy with a right hand
swing, first for the jaw and then for
the body. More than 60 per cent. of
these blows missed. These were sent
out so wild that they swished over
Tenders head.
All the while the newsboy was jab-
hing and uppercutting his way to vic
tory. At the end of six rounds $500
fans stood up and cheered the vic
tor.

GAUGING WINNERS START
WITH PENNANT FORECAST;
WHEN TEAMS PLAY BEST
EDOlE,COLLlNS

New York, oct. 2.-Whne the
winning of a pennant and the result
ant participation in the World Series
is based upon the number of games
won during the entire season of
league play it is as a rule the final
weeks of the schedule in which the
championships are clinched. At this
period of the play the leading teams
OF each league are putting forth their
greatest efforts in an attempt to cap
ture first place and each days strug-
gle is fought out to the finish. For
this reason ii has frequently been
said that the true speed of a team
in a world series can be gagged from
the power of its play near the point
where the pennant was mathematic-
ally won.
Based upon this assumption an
analysis of the work of the Chicago
Americans and the New York Ma
tomas in the closing weeks of the
present season should afford a
somewhat general outline of the
form which may be expected of
these two clubs when they meet in
the worlds series of 1917. On the
first day of September the Chicago
White Sox were leading in the Ameri-
lean League by AZ games over the
Boston Red SoX while the New York
Nationals led the Phillies. in the
senior league by nine games.
Played Their Best Games
In neither case was the lead so
great that the runner-up club did
not have a chance to overtake and
pass the pace settlers. Under the cir
cumstances the New York and Chi
cago teams were forced to play their
best game and despite an occasional
defeat the records show that they
travelled at high speed up to the very
moment that the flag was won be-
yond peradventure.
During the first twenty days of
September the New York Nationals
played twenty-three games of which
they won sixteen and lost seven,
showing a winning overage of .696
for that period. In the same number
of days the Chicago White Sox play
ed fifteen games of which they won
all but three for an average of 500.
In these fifteen games the Chicago
players accumulated a total of
eighty-two runs to their opponents

HERZOG RETURNS

Manager Muggsy McGraw Re-
joiceS; Bennie Kauff

Philadelphia, Oct. 2.-The prospects
of the Giants for victory in the COM
ing worlds series were frightened
considerably by the arrival in their
camp of Charlie Herzog. keystone of
their infeld, and reported to have
been under suspension as the result
OF his leaving the team on their last
western trip and going to his home
at Ridgely, Nd, contrary to the or
ders of Manager McGraw.
The Giants pulled into town shortly
after o'clock last night and Herzog
Joined the squad about an hour later
McGraw went over to New York and
was not on hand to receive his re-
turned star, but the rest of the team
toyfully welcomed him. He declared
he was in much better condition than
when he was forced to leave the team
and that he was on hand to play to-
day as warm-up practice for the big
series.
I've got the old zip back" he said.
i've got to have that to play my
game and my idea in going home was
TO get rest that was necessary to re-
store that pepper. I wasn't thinking
only of myself, but of the New York
club. and I'm on hand to play October
,, Just as l said l would be. 1 haven't
seen McGraw, but there won't be any
trouble. have no grievance against
the New York Club, and If there's
any grievance it's on their part. I'm
here and ready to play, and the club
will get the best I've got in the big
series. 1 think McGraw wants me in
there as much as 1 want to get in.
My back feels fine, and I'm in
great shape. think I'm ready to play
the game of my life"
Other excitement in the Giants
camp last night was boil on Benny
kauff's leg. A physician was summon
ed with pair of seven-inch shears
and speedily exterminated the annoy
ing appendage.

Baseball Fans Sore;
Unable to Get Tickets

Chicago, oct. 2.-Vigorous protests
from scores of Chicagoans were re-
ceived yesterday at the chicago
American League Park when the nrst
batch of untitled applications for
world series seats were returned TO
their senders. Letters stating the ap-
plicants had been among the first to
send their requests for seats came in
by the hundreds. Resentment was ex-
pressed by many because the first ap-
pIications filled had been from those
which reached the park by special de-
livery, while those coming through
the ordinary mail were untitled until
later. On one day, il was announced,
5000 special delivery requests were
handled. The games in this city VIII
start at 2 o'clock. 1t was announced.
A resolution directing the police to
cooperate with park officials to pre-
vent scalping of tickets was adopted
by the City Council yesterday. The
police were directed to prohibit the
sale of tickets in streets or alleys and
to aid in excluding all purchasers of
tickets from scalpers from the parks.

hfty-four or an average of close to
five and a half runs per game.
The Giants. aggregated eighty runs
in twenty-three games for an aver
age of three and a half runs per con-
test, while their opponents collected
fifty-six. If the opposing strength
were equal in all games, which was
not the case however, it might be as
sumed that the White Sox attack was
stronger than that of the Giants
while the latter's defense was hard
er to break through. The fact that
these clubs did not, of course, face
the same opponents, must not be
overlooked.
Pitchers Ability
Much stress has been laid upon the
respective ability of the pitchers of
the clubs and the part that these
twirlers will play in the winning of
the world series. For this reason a
comparison of their box records
during the period under considera-
ton may be helpful to the follow
ers of the game. The Giants have
used Sallee. Perritt, Schupp, Tesreau
and Benton for an average of "a 3-5
innings each in the twenty-day per-
iod while Demaree and Anderson
worked an average of 17n each.
For the White Sox, Cicotte, Will
liams and Faber have borne the
brunt of the pitching. having aver
aged forty innings. Danforth and
Russell between them pitched twen-
ty innings, an average of ten innings.
The work of the pitchers of both
teams showing innings pitched, hits
allowed and earned runs scored off

Football Scouts Extinct;
Big Cut in Expenses

Philadelphia, Oct. with the an
nouncement of the University of
Pennsylvania that it would not en-
gage any paid scouts this year to
observe the work of other football
teams, the most expensive incidental
of the modern football eleven has dis
appeared in the east at least and
with him goes a story that has often
been told of Jimmy Knox, the old
time Harvard star.
Knox was one of the keenest scouts
in the game and was assigned to
cover" Princeton particularly. Each
week he was wont to journey down
to Tigertown and when the game be-
gan he was always to be found in the
sameseat in the grandstand. His fig
ure became so familiar that one day
Princeton professor went up to him
and shaking hands said:
You are the most devoted alumnus
| have ever seen. Your loyalty to the
team amaZes me-"
What Knox said has not been re-
corded.

Commission to Buy
Bonds With Profits

Cincinnati, Oct. 2.-Chairman Au-

ball Commission, announced that he
would recommend to his colleagues
at their meeting in Chicago on Fri
day next, that the moneys received
by the National Commission, the in
terested clubs and the players during

sums as may be necessary for expen-
ses, be invested by the respective
parties in the second issue of Liberty
Bonds.
Guy Emerson, secretary of the pub
licity committee of New York City,
when notified of this plan stated that
''the plan to invest the worlds series
gate receipts in Liberty Bonds is a
patriotic plan which will appeal
strongly to the millions interested in
baseball. If this were done it would
be real service to the Liberty Loan.

COMMISSION FOR
INDOOR GAME
Basketball Managers to Take
Up Question at Meet
ing Sunday

Philadelphia, Oct. 2.-Prominent
basketballers who are interested IN
the. Eastern Interstate Intercounty
and Penn-State Leagues are to meet
in this city next Sunday at the Hotel
Adelphia for the purpose of forming
a National Basketball Commission on
similar grounds as that which now
prevails in baseball.
Other attempts were made to form
ulate such body but it never result
ed in a tangible organization. Condi-
tions are now practically ripe for
such a body, for more professional
leagues are in the field. the game has
made big strides in popularity and
the salaries of the players have treb-
led since the last National Commits
sion was suggested.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-10-02
After Contract Jumpers

The principal purpose of the body
is to restrict players from jumping
from one league to another. This prac-
tice became so violent last year that
some of the players were working in
three leagues under different alias.
Should the four leagues form the
commission 1t will stop this practice
and compel the players to stick to the
club they have first signed with.
An attempt will also be made TO
adopt uniform set of playing rules
and should the commission really be
formed it will probably mean that a
worlds series elimination series be-
tween the champions of each league
will be staged next spring after each
league completes it's regular schedule
of games.

clsion. Jacobs was quarterback last
