CAUGHT ON THE FLY

Out in front for the first time since
early in July. the Nationals were ex-
pecting Walter Johnson. leading
hurler of the American League, to
keep them in the lead today. Joe
Bush may do the flinging for the
Yanks.
A si1abIe contingent of Washing
tonians was at hand to cheer for the
Bucks yesterday. Among those who
have made the trip here to witness
the series is Capt. Hunter Mcclure,
athletic officer at Camp Meade and an
ardent hacker of the Harrismen.
Local baxe ball enthusiasts gener-
ously applauded the Bucks. The New
Workers appreciate game, hghtlng
club, and they saw one in the Ma
tionals. The cheering for the Bucks
in the big eighth was entirely too
loud to have come from the few real
Washington fans present.
In that healthy frame Bluege, Ruel
and Peck also batted twice Ossie
got two singles, Ruel doubled the
first time up and got on when Dugan
erred the second time. Peck drove in
three of the eight runs with an in
field retirement and single.
All Bucks who broke into the line
up. except the pitchers. shared in the
making Of the 18-hit total.
Mnyor Hylnn of this big town ar
rived at the stadium in the fourth in
ming and was wildly cheered by the
thousands present. He passed up
seat in the grandstand, joining the
fans in the bleachers.
Rtce'x single in the seventh was an
odd one. He knocked the ball past
Pennock to Ward, but Pipp, for some
unknown reason. had run in with the
pitch, as if to field bunt. When
Ward came up with the ball there was
no one at first to take a throw.
A spectacular double-play was reg
istered by the Bucks in the sixth that
brought Russell out of dangerous
position. With Schang and Ward on
bases by virtue of singles and one
out, Pennock drove sharply over sec

how many games should be played n
determine the winner. The chances
are that the owners Of the competing
clubs would have something to say
about it. II they wished for a series
they might get it, though in the gen
eral interest of the sport it probably
would be better to settle it with a
single game. If series were under
taken it might drag out because of
bad weather and seriously interfere
with the world series.
Title Must Be Decided.
There can be no permanent tie de-
ciared at the end of the season, be-
cause the order of the league is that
a championship must be effected. If
it should happen that the teams
seemed to be tied. but the carving
out of the decimal point would give
one team an advantage. the cham
pionship would go to that team. ex-
actly as an individual ball players
average in field or at bat is determin-
ed by carrying the decimal further
than three places if necessary
Champions ships are determined on Il
percentage basis instead of the OLD
fashioned method of victories and de-
feats because so many yeXatiouS situ-
ations arose when an attempt made
was to reckon victorS by the latter
method. For instance. club would
claim that if il had four victories
over the third-place team and an
other club also claiming the title had
only three. itS four victories over the
strong third place club should be the
deciding factor. regardless of the fact
that defeats by other clubs had
brought it's average down to its com
petitors level.

Stanley Harris was right there to
catch the wayward toss. That's the
sort of teamwork that has kept the
Senators up in the race.
Harris. Peck and Judge also put on
one of their cute double plays just to
show the stadium fans how il was
done.
In Rice, Go~lin and Judge the Sen
ators have lovely trio of left-h hand
ed batters ready to do execution on
the Yankee right -haflders. Having
knocked off Pennock they will be
tough lads in the three games yet to
be played in the series.
Joe Bush will probably face Walter
Johnson today. Joe's job is just as
easy as wrapping up an elephant in
a paper bag.
1t wIx probably one Of the tough
est ball games that the Yankees have
lost this season, certainly one of the
most thrilling played at the stadium.
If one is looking for an alihi for the
Yankees being in second place this
morning, he can blame it on the sun.
or If he wants to pick out ball
player he can blame it on Whitley
Witt.
The Giants had a day off and went
to the ball game. They wanted the
Yanks to win, or. at least, said they
did-to make another juicy all-New
York series.
Following Wits unfortunate expe-
rience with the sun, Harris shifted

Suppose the three leading contend
ers did finish in a tie. Would New
York, for instance, play Washington
first and then play Detroit, while
Washington and Detroit also hook ed
up in series? If it were played
off that way another tie might re-
suit For New York might win from
Washington, Washington might win
from Detroit, and Detroit might win
from New York. That would give a
victory each to New York, Washing
ton and Detroit and the whole prpc-
ess would have to be started over
In the case of a Sudden death"
series, the three contenders would
draw for places in the first clash and
one would draw bye. Suppose New
York and Washington were brought
together in the draw. They would
play as many games as the board of
directors ordered and the team which
came out at the little end of the horn
would be eliminated.
When Loser Would Howl.
The winner then would play De-
troit for the final honors. If the
team that won in the first clash also
defeated Detroit there would be no
question about supremacy. as it would
have defeated both its rivals. But if
Detroit won in the final series, the
loser in the first series would have
some grounds for howl, to the effect
that ii could have beaten Detroit had
it been given the chance.
Should tie result between two
clubs at the end of the season. the
question would go to the board of di-
rectors in the same way, but their
decision would be much easier. 1t
would be a simple case of deciding

DEEP REGRET 7
Expression of Sympathy Over
Woodrow Wilson's Con-
didition by Officials

TRENTON, Feb. 2:-The House
received the news of former
President Wilson's illness with re-
gret. 1t was reported early yester-
day morning that he was very low
and all the rest of the day the con-
dition of the man who was COVER
nor little over decade ago was
the chief topic of conversation.
The capitol building here was the
scene of the launching of Mr.. Will
sons public career and it was the
record he made during the first two
years of his administration as the
chief executive of this state which
attracted to him national attention
and was the controlling factor In
developing him aas a presidential
contender in the memorable political
period of 1912.
Among those who Joined in ex-
pressions of sympathy over the con-
dition of the former chief of the
nation and this state were Governor
Silzer, Chancellor Walker, State
Comptroller Bugbee, State Auditor
Salter, Errors Court Judge Van Bus
kirk and United States Circuit Court
Judge ]. Warren Davis.
The tenor of the expressions
showed the genuine feeling over the
sudden turn in the former Presi-
dents illness and frequently it was
declared that Mr.. wilson's achieve
ments and purposes will live in his
tory as among the things called
great.
Some of the prominent New Jer-
sey Democrats recently saw Mr.. VIII
son when in Washington attending
the meeting of the national commit
tee. One was Mayor Hague, of
Jersey City. whom the former Presi-
dent complimented for his party
successes in this state in recent
years. The committee made visit
to the Wilson home and was re-
ceived in the former Presidents IL
brary Former Supreme Court
Clerk William C. Gebhardt. of Hun
terdon, was among those who made
the political pilgrimage.

GROUND HOG TODAY

Did the ground hog stay out this
morning or did he go back for an
other six weeks is the question that
is being pondered upon throughout
this section. February is the time
set for him to come out of his hole
to inspect the weather. If the day is
clear and he sees his shadow he
shifts the air and goes back for an
other six weeks snooze, but If the
day be stormy and he does not see
his shadow he stays out, meaning
that winter is over and we shall
have an early spring. Many are of
the opinion today that he came out
and got fooled by the spring like
weather and stayed out, believing
himself that winter was over and
that 1t was time for him to scamper
over the fields for the rest of the
summer.
