SEVEN GAMES FOR ARMY!
West Point Gridders Will Be Idle
Saturday.

West Point, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Unless
some college with a football team
comes along for a game with the
Army on Saturday of this week the
opening of the soldiers football sea-
son will be delayed one week. Capt.
J. E. Mcmahon, football representa-
tive, announced yesterday that he
had been unable to schedule any op-
ponent for the cadets for opening
day, but is in hopes some college
would show up in the meantime. Mid
dlebury College declined to come, so
did Holy Cross.
The Army wants to get going badly,
but prospects for game this week
look slim. The schedule to be played
by the Army was announced yester,
day. 1t includes seven games, all OF
which will be played at home. The
November oath date was originally
given to the Navy for the Polo
Grounds game. The schedule fol-
lows:
September 20, open.
October 6, Carnegie Institute OF.
Technology; 13, Virginia Military In
stitutc; 20, Tufts; 81 Villanova.

THE WORLD SERIES.
Comislxey a Busy Man Between Spec
ulatOrs and His Ball Park.

Chicago, Sept, 27.-President Com
iskey of the Chicago Americans to-
day started aggressive action against
spectators who have announced that
they will have for sale tickets to
the Worlds series baseball games to
be played here.
There has been some dissatisfaction
expressed at the ruling which compels
the purchase of seats in sets of three,
it being said that an injustice was
done to these who might be able to
see only one game. President Com
iskey announced today that all tickets
sold will be redeemed at the South
Side park at the price paid for them
He expressed the belief that all
square fans will turn back their
surplus supply and thus give another
patron an opportunity to see a game
without paying toll to the scalpers.'
Announcement also was made to-
day that plans have almost been COM
pleted for charging Comiskey park,
giving it permanent seating capacity
of $4,000. 1t is expected this work will
be complete when the season opens
next spring.

TY COBB DISPLAYS
DAZZLING SPEED
Detroit Star Speeds From Second
to Home on Sacrifice Blunt

New York, Sept. Pity Cobb, aid
ed and allotted by the Detroit Tigers,
made his last 1917 appearance on
the Polo Grounds yesterday, and beat
our Yankees, to 1. Outside of driv-
ing in three of the Detroit runs and
scoring another from second base on
a dinky little sacrifice hit by Bobby
Veach, the great Tyrus did not do so
awful much to occasion Gothamites
to remember him by.
The Georgia Peach started in ad-
ministering the defeat dose to the
Yankees right off the reel in the first
inning when he came up with Bush
on ahead and scored Ownie with a
long sacrifice fly to Miller. Tvs next
trip to the platter was in the third.
In that canto Ty trotted into the bat
ter's box with one down, Bush on
third and Witt on second.
Ty leaned into one of Enright' s
benders and dashed liner into left
for two bases, driving Bush and Witt
across the scoring dish. The pain Of
that cruel two vase blow might have
been forgiven had not Tyrus heaped
insult on injury. But that's just what
the Georgian went and done and this
is how he did it.
With Cobb straining on second, and
one down. Jennings wigwagged to
Veach to sacrifice. Bob laid down
a suicidal bunt and expired, En-
right to Pipp, sending Cobb along to
third. But Ty did not deign to anchor
at third base. Speeding into the diff
ficult corner Ty suddenly tackled about
and headed for the plate. The Yam
kee infield was expecting something
or other from the man who made Au-
gusta famous, and Pipp hurled the
ball to Baker. J. Franklin in turn
pegged the pellet to Ruel. Fortune
however, favors the brave, and the
daring Ty slid across the scoring dish
ahead Of Bakers throw.
The score:
r. h. e
Detroit .1O4OOOO0O-5 6
New York ...... OOO10O000-1 5
Batteries: Boland and Stanage

HERZ0G WILL PLAY
President Hampstead of Giants, Lifts
Suspension on Captain Making Him
Eligible For Worlds Series.

New York, Sept, 27.-Upon his re-
turn from the West yesterday, where
he saw the Giants clinch the pen
nant, President Harry Hampstead of
the New York Nationals announced
that the indefinite suspension of Capt.
Charles L. Herzog has been lifted.
According to Hampstead, Herzog's
suspension was only intended to last
until such time as the player returned
to the club. He said the club was
forced to take this action, as dicipline
could not be maintained on a ball
club If players took leave without per-
mission.
Herzog, however, has expressed his
willingness to rejoin the team in Phila-
delphia next Tuesday, and Hampstead
says he was only too glad to reinstate
him. Hcrzog will play through the
worlds series. There really never was
any doubt that the popular and able
captain of the Giants would be at his
post when the big series with Chicago
is inaugurated.
Herzog reports he is feeling much
stronger. and says his rest on his
Maryland farm has been most benefi-
cial. He has taken on little weight
and has much of his old vigor. He says
| nothing could have kept him out of
| the White Sox series If it is a physi-
| cal possibility for him to play.
He is ambitious to repeat his
worlds series triumph of 1912, and
does not want to close his worlds
series career with the series of 1913.
when he made only one hit and hit
.053. Charley also is keen to try
conclusions with Eddie Collins, the
| acknowledged king of second base
| men.
