Season, He Says
BALTIMORE. Nj, Sept ga
. Having eliminated any possibility of
LOSING the international league pen
nant by victories of the past wcot
. Manager Jack Dunn OF the four
. time Baltimore champions is cnslnr
. up his orioles so that thcy may b,
In the best Of shape for the series
with 81. Paul, champions O,
the American Association. which /,
/ Schcdulcd TO begin here october
| Another week OF play remains I'm thu
/ international circuit. sunday hciui
/ tho last day OF tho season. After
that New Haven, tho Eastern lengu,
| champions, nre to be met In thrc,
games by the Dunnmon and the In
/ tornatlonal league "All-Stnrs." man
| aged by BIN Iltman, I'm five. Dunn
/ figures that these eight games, with
a fow other odd contests, should
/ put his champions on edge Tor the
/ Saints without causing them TO over
exert themselves.
! Rochester's last chance to land
| the International bunting died last
/ Thursday when IL split n double
| header with Buffalo while the ORR
| oles were taking two games from
| Newark. Until then there wns
| 100 10 one chance for Stallngs'
men to cop, htr tho game loat
/ spoiled #, the Birds being able TO
| lose every contest remaining nnd
| still be n fun game I'm the lead "
| tho Chiefs were TO win all OF their
remaining tests.
No wild celebration marked the
| clinchlng Of the flag In Baltimore
and only a handful or fans turned
out the following day. IL has been
| felt almost since tho start OF the
season hero that Baltimore would
win and tho only thing that would
bhave shocked the populnce would
'have been tho loss of tho flag Bal
| timore rooters are getting 80 used TO
ponnants and the winning OF games
/ that they are taken ns n matter OF
| course.
Now Dunn Wants Another.
Manager Dunn had little TO say
| before tho flag was clinched and
not much afterward. After giving
| his playors all the credit for the
victory all he said was that he
would llko TO accomplish a feat
which has never before been done
win again next year and make II
| five in row. Besides Baltimore
only three clubs have been able to
win four In row. Boston In the
| National association won in 1872,
1873, 1874 and 1875, st. Louis In
| the American association won In
| 1855, 1885, 1887 and 1888, while
| Akron OF the Ohlo-Pennsylvania
| turned the trick in 1907. 1908, 1903
ana 1910.
A closer race IS hoped for in tho
aforementioned fhnn
what was seen during the soasor
now closing, but Jack Dunn's hope
for firth flag is admitted TO hnve
an excellent chance 20 be fulfilled
unless things change greatly during
the winter. Dunn still holds his
team intact while other owners ara
sending their best bets UP and
should again enter the rece faV-
orite. And when Dunn wan
thing he usually gets it-and he
| wants thut fifth consecutive flag.
Tho orioles viii finish the season
| iust about 10 fun games in front Of
| Rochester. Last year tho margin
over the snme team was 20 games.
/ The Dunnmon possessed lO-Rnmo
| lead and more at times for most or
this year, but in the last month or
so they have let down In their play,
though holding such a lead ana
through injuries to regulars. AZ the
same time the Chiefs, like any 9TH
er team George Stalllngs has man
aged, have been finishing strong
! Had the Chiefs met Louisville last
| fan instead OF Baltimore, playing
! the way they did during the last
month OF the race, they probably
would have beaten tho Colonels IN
stead OF losing as the stale Birds
did.
Finishing on One Leg.
For tho past two weeks the Ori-
oles have been playing with Grip
! pied team on the field, yet even
with three regulars out at "A time
/ have looked better than opponents
on most occasions. showing Just
how much the, Birds outclass the
other International clubs. Fritz
/ Naisel, Otis Lawry Merwin jacob
son and Joe Boiey have been out or
the game with injuries and with the
flag scwed up Dunn has not rushed
them back into their places, Tor ne
hopes 20 have all hands in up-top
shape when st. Paul is met;
Merw!n jacobson dpnned his UNI
form tho other day and ractlced
with the team after having been out
of his suit for month. Jakos
team mates are of the opinion that
he will be n bit bat shy FOR time
because OF being bcancd twice TINS
