NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-with six

ing tentatively discussed for the

Closing a week later than usual.
the teams will play until October Z.

II one of the Western teams should

games viii start not later than DC.
tober 10.
The scene OF the opening game
and other details will not be decided
upon until Commissioner Lands and
the presidents OF the two leagues
meet to make final arrangements
after the races are decided.
II Is almost safe to assume that
one end OF the series will be played
In the new Yankee stadium, as Miller
Higgins has his team so far ahead
that they almost have the pennant
cinched now. AS long as they main.
tain their present gait, the Yanks
need to win only so per cent OF their
remaining games and TO beat them
out the Cleveland Indians would have
to win more than rs per cent OF the
games on their schedule.
Right now the Yanks are chiefly
interested in plans to win the worlds
series. Higgins is landings his
pitchers apparently with the view In
mind OF having three or four of his
six stars primed for the battle against
the National league champions.
I With very bitter recollections OF
what happened TO them last fall. the
Yanks are all pulling for the Giants
to win the other race.
The money-end Of the series, OF
course, would mean much more il
the Polo grounds had one end of the
series, but the Yanks are almost as
eager TO beat the Giants as they are
TO pick up the extra money.
The National league race is far
from being settled. The Giants still
have lead of three games, but at
this late date that is a slim lead with
the Reds and the Pirates camping
right at their heels.
John McGraw is desperately in
need of good pitching and he is
keeping the lead simply because hc
has a fighting team, which bats
strongly enough TO momentarily
counterbalance the terrible. deficiency

he win try TO hit Firpo and stop him
before Firpo can hit him.
''Firpo is slow and awkward. but
when he hits It's like you were hit
with sledgehammer. and II doesn't
make any difference where he hits
you.
He hits twice as hard as any man
