A number of editors have
even expressed a fear that Mr.

GRIFFITH HAS PLAN ID CONTINUE CAME Old Fox Would Play Ball Next Year on Saturdays
 and Sundays

Washington, August 27-Manager Clark Griffith of the Washington club has plan for carrying on baseball next season, and it looks good. It is to form Saturday and Sunday league. The eastern clubs of the American league would play four or five months schedule, oil Saturdays and Sundays only, the western clubs ditto. Each team could play s6 games in IF weeks and two days. Adding a week or 10 days for a series between the tw o winning teams end would make a little more than four months and half.
 Tho players, being in essential oc- equations, presumably would have half holidays on Saturday and whole ones on Sundays. If the men had as much as 10 days vacation in year, the post season series could be staged Griff has not thought out all details. Perhaps. if the National league adopted this plan. the post season set could ba between it's highest team and the American's.
 Griffith says he can get essential oc- cupation here for all his players. ton Washington would be in would he played here and at Harrison, N. J.; the Saturday ones at Boston and PhllAdel- phia. The players would be kept in practice, expenses would probably be made ard the baseball fans would be kept alive

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETr

A short while ago friend of mine ster he had uncovered who in his opin- ion, was to be coming champion in the world of pugilism.
 Hes a wonder, Jim-he has everything a fighter needs" exclaimed my friend.
 Tell me about him. I asked
 Well, Jim,' was the reply, "he has the greatest punch of any kid ever saw in my life, He can knock over mule with one wallop. No one ever has beer able to even jar him. He's mighty fast oi, his feet and in another year or so he could develop into ;l very clever youngster.
 'Is he a brainy kid?" I asked.
 My friend hesitated a moment and then replied .F@
 "Oh, he isn't what you would call a very smart youngster, but
 Well, then I'll venture the opinion that this youngster of yours never will amount to anything in the boxing world"
 My friend, surprised, retorted with:
 Why, he doesn', need brains; he can knock foes out as fast as they come to him and nobody can hurt him."
 But took the opposite view. I have always taken that stand, and my judg- ment in this instance never has been faulty. < insisted that brains was the vital asset Nof every fighter, as it is for every ballplayer and every youngster who aspires for success in any chosen field of endeaycr.
 My answer was this:
 eff that boy of yours isn't smart and hasn't brain that enables him to grasp all the various tricks of the trade he vii. never amount to much. Brute strength, great punching power, endurance and even courage are great assets for every fighter. But the vital thing is brains. A fighter unequipped with them Is much like a high powered automobile that is running without driver. He may be able to follow the road that leads to the top for while, but sooner or later the lack of guidance by a cool, skillful brain will shattsr his career.
 Ut is generalship that counts in ring contests more than anything else Every man who has followed pugilism since it's start knows that. You Have seen, and Sc have hundred thousand others-ln- stances where youngsters blessed with superb physical powers have fallen oa- fore an attack of brainy fighter who is inferior to his foe in every physical way.
 "A superb physical condition surely helps fighter, on his way to fame and fortune. But he must have brains to lead him to the goal. If he isn't a smart youngster and doesn't learn by exper- fence, ne never will amount to very much. If he hasn't brain that co-ordinates with his muscles, cool, keen brain to direct his energies, he'll never be a topnotcher.
 Look through the pages of pugilisttc history and you will find that practical y every fighter who ever rose to the cham pionship in any division was brainy. John l.. was thinker. He was shrewd and keen. Bob F'itzsimmons was about as tricky warrior as I ever knew. Jef- fries wasn't quick thinker. but Jeffries had brains that assimilates knowledge. and Jeff always used his learnings. h every tight place the brains of Jeffries would conic ohis rescue.

FaStlTYle

Down the home stretch they come, with Boston two and half lengths ahead of Cleveland. and three and half ahead of the Senators. The Indians had given up hope, but yesterdays victory over Phila- delphia, while Detroit was. trimming he Red Sox oce more, fired Lee Wohls team with the belief that they still had ghost of chance. Were the season to run two weeks longer, Boston would certainly be knocked from the top, but owing to the few games that remain to be played it's awful hard to figure Cleveland or Wash ington against them.
 According to the schedule, Boston has eight more games, towit: One with De- troit, three with Philadelphia, and two with New York. Cleveland has but four more games, two each with Chicago and St. Louis. Washington has three games with New York and two with Philadelphia before closing time. The Indians must win all of their remaining four games and Boston must lose four of their six in order to change the present standing Washington will have to take every game from now on, while the Red Sox lose all but one to cop the bunting, so you see what the chances are of displacing the Beaneaters
 The Red Sox are playing listless ball right now, and don't seem to care hang they grab the bunting or not On their cwn grounds they have barely broken even with second division clubs during the past 10 days, while Cleveland, on the road, has won majority of games and Washington going at top speed has earned the decision in the seven of its last nineteen contests. But that hanii cap is most too much to even hops against and you can safely lay to that the "city of culture" will be represented in the big serious

.bEZDEK HAS PROVEN F |GHT|NG P|L O I.
Pirates Manager Instilled ''Never-Say-Die" Spirit
 in His Henchmen

The 1918 Pirates will not go down in history as the greatest team, but they have an even chance of being recorded as the best fighting team. Those
 Bezdekian players never know when they are licked. They can be kicked and knocked from stem to stern and they only laugh and come back for more.
 | It is a high tribute to Bezdek. For many years the Pirates have been
 rated as team that could fight while maintaining a lead, but once in the 1 rear they were apt to lay down and
 die. This year it is different. The
 many times the Corsairs have come from behind and won out testifies to that fact
 Hugo Bezdek may not know inside
 baseball, as some critics aver, although he pulls very few bones; he may not have great knowledge of opposing players, that is their weaknesses and their strength; but it is doubtful if any manager in the big league has
 Bezdek's knack of inspiring his play CTS to display their supreme strength in trying for victories. Win or lose, the Pirates make things interesting 1 for the opposition. Their actual play ing ability has been strengthened and reinforced immeasureably by the Bezdek spirit.
 The New York Giants probably owe their recent reverses to lack of spirit. When they had a chance to overtake the Cubs they looked at the task iwth something akin to terror
 and as a result they lost four out of five games in the most important se- ries of the season. Had they gone into the battle, forgetting about the loss l of Benton and Barnes and Kauff, and determined to lick the Cubs no mat ! ter what the handicaps were, it is safe to say they would not have been ! routed. Followers of the Giants say they laid down before an acknowl- edged overwhelming force.
 I The Pirates. while they cannot over come the Cubs, are doing anything but stepping aside and letting the league l leaders rush past without resistance The Bruins know they have been play ing when they beat the Pirates l All of which goes to show that spirit" moral courage" or whatever 1 it is, has as much to do with whining ball games. as fielding, hitting, pitch l ing and base running.
 bunch of mediocre players with a great spirit will give good contest i any day to a bevy of stars, ready to quit at the first reverse.

YANKEES ARE RED sox LINK
For Past Four Seasons New York
 Team Has Blocked Boston

IT the Boston Red Sox lose the Amersesa can league pennant, they can blame the New York Yankees, who have won 10 of the 15 games the two teams navd played this season. After a most wretched showing in the west the Yam kees went to Boston and took on a new,
 lease of life as soon as they got sight of the Red Sox in uniform. The Yan1 kees have been the jinxes of Boston, for the last four seasons. Prior to that the Yankees were the sortest pickinf for the Red Sox. There was one stretch of more than two years, from the spring. of 1911 to the fall of 1913 in which the Yankees did not win single game from the Red Sox in New York. Much oe the success of the Yankees over Bos+ ton in recent years has been due to tho ability of Mogridge to beat Boston, ab he has won Il of his last 14 games from the Red Sox.
