GIANTS STILL WAIT
FOR THAT ONE GAME

New York, Sept. 24.-Today opens
the last full week of major league
baseball with the Giants still waiting
to cinch the National league pennant.
A victory today by the leaders or a
loss by the Phillies would end the race.
The Giants are sheduled at st. Louis
and the Phillies at Pittsburg.
The White Sox finish their Boston
engagement today, probably with an
other second string line up in play.
They have a series to play in Wash

York to play their final series of the
season. They win be ready to begin
their rest preliminary to the worlds
series after game with the Yangees
week from today.
With the National league pennant
still Tapping free, John McGraw is
confronted with the necessity of
throwing his best forces into the bat
tie every day. And every day that
passes this way makes his worlds Sc
ries task that much harder. Charley
Herzog is resting and undoubtedly will
be in better condition when the big
games start than if he had played con-
tinuously. But Zimmerman is suffer
ing from strained muscles and has a
nest of boils He needs rest. Benny

staff has been worked hard. II Nc

chances would grow stronger.

(Cnlted ffeSS Sldll ' correspondents
New York, Sept. 24.-The worlds
series will just have TO settle itself so
far as managers of the big league clubs
are concerned. They all voted today
when the United Press asked for their
opinions regarding the probable win
ner of the series, but the managers
who expressed an opinion picked the
pennant winners in their own league
and let 1t go at that. Two from each
league refused to hazard picking the
winners.
Fielder Jones. the crafty old fox who
piloted the White SoX to an American

PLAY SMART BASEBALL.
"Thcy'vc got. the smartest baseball

man on the club is likely to break w
a game and they arc capable of doing
II with great variety of plays. They
play smart baseball. II the Giants

team in baseball.
Christy Mathewson believes it is a
toss up and may the best man win.
John ]. McGraw refused discussion
of the chance of his own team. He
said he wasn't allowed to talk for
publication. but did not mention his
recent brush With the baseball writer's

Right out he declared the Giants would

Sallee is the gentleman that will do
it, in the opinion of Wilbert Robertson
of the dodgers.
Unless batter is used to Sallee he
can't hit that crossfire," Wilbert said,

Bill Donovan leaned toward the
White Sox but said he didn't want
to make ii too strong, because he
hadn't seen the Giants in action.
The superiority of the White Sox
pitching staff will give them the Sc

manager of the Senators.
Hugh Jennings decided TO lay off this
time and called it a toss up.
George Stallings is planning to ar

SPORT SNAPSHOTS

Fielder Jones of the Browns is
quoted as saying that baseball has
improved greatly in the past 10 years
and that there are several clubs in
the American league today that are
greater than the pennant winners of
1906 in that league. Well, that may
be true. and then again, it may be
Just another alibi.
From out on the Pacific coast comes
a story that Harry Wolverton is in
line to manage the Detroit Tigers next
year. Several boosts for Wolverton
have been heard of late and it looxs
like somebody was organizing a cam
paign to get him back in the big show
with g team where he would have a
chance.

tab on the Yankees even when at sea.

Kid Gleason. right hand bower to
Clarence Rowland, has his own opinion
as to the great revival in hitting on
the part of the White Sox. 1t is thing
that just comes to team, he says. The
pitching, he AYERS, has been no worse
than what the Sox had been facing
earlier in the season. They just began
hitting, that's all-and the more they
hit the more they hit.

ONLY ESTIMATE
CAN BE GIVEN OF
LIBERTY LOAN
Response From All Parts of
America Are Over
whelming
BY Associated Press

Washington, June Is. - So over
whelming was the country's response
to the Liberty Loan that officials
were unable at noon to-day, "a
hours after the closing of the books,
to strike more than an approximate
of the huge total.
Only one reserve district, Atlanta,
had completed its work of tabulating
the totals at that hour. Reports from
the other eleven districts told of
great accumulations of subscriptions
yet to be footed up with a great
volume of belated letters and tele-
grams still pouring in. Estimates
from these districts sent the prob
able aggregate for the country ris-
ing to new high levels.
The totals of figures that had
actually been tabulated in New York,
Boston. Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chi
cago, Cleveland and San Francisco
where with the exception of Atlanta.
the work of compiling the totals was
still in progress-and of official esti-
mates of totals in the other districts
showed a subscription of at least S2,-
us, 800, 900, representing only a por-
ton OF the full amount
Billion Too Much
Estimates of all districts. includ-
ing the official tabulated returns
from Atlanta, sent the prospective
total to S2,g51, 100000. These figures
included S1,500.000 subscribed in the
Philippines, but did not include any
of the subscriptions sent direct to
the Treasury here, no estimate of
which has been made public. 1t is
thought that the total sent direct TO
the Treasury will be comparatively
small, inasmuch as officials have dis
tributed the bulk of these subscrip-
tions among the reserve banks.
Assuming New York's big estimate
of $1,000, 100000 as approximately
correct and allowing for shrinkages
of S50.000,000 there and in other dis
tricts from the totals of all estimates
it appeared that the total would
reach S2,90O.000.O00.
No estimates, official or unofficial,
were Forthcoming at the Treasury
Department. Officials restricted their
comments to expression of gratitica-
tion at the overwhelming response
of the country to the loan, but were
chary of figures, saying they could
not even make a guess on the totals.
Indications were that the final re-
turns would not be available before
Monday. Even then there probably
will be only an approximate idea as
to the total number of subscribers.
