Editorial Writers Sing Praises
of Harris Gang Of Fight.
ing Athletes

From way up in Massachusetts,
the baseball fans are pouring out
their hopes that the fighting Griffs
win the American League flag. The
fans are reused to such a pitch
that it calls for editorial comment
from the cloisteral precincts Of the
editors. The Holyoke, Mass, Even
ing Telegram deposes and states as
follows:
Washington is the center OF at
traction for millions these days
not the nations capitol but the ball
team OF that city. Candidates may
roar; the night-shirt gang continue
their killings to make the country
100 per cent American; China may
continue her civil warfare with in
creased ferocity or Premier Mac
Donald propose other land disarm-
ament conferences-it matters not,
while there is such a hot, doubtful
race for the baseball pennants In
the major leagues.
The sporting page gets first at
tention while the struggle Of the
Washington team to maintain a
lead over the Yankees goes on and
while three teams in the National
League are in reach of the top.
Taking the country as a whole
the greater interest is held by the
Senators Yanks fight. Tho. fans
outside the home town Of teams
like to see one Of the teams usually
found in second division come
through and win a pennant. Wash
ington has had many flag-raising
events but none at her ball park
and the fact that this omission has
a good chance OF being corrected
this year has caused more excite
ment and interest than any Senate
uproar-and that is going some.
1.-The Washington team is mighty
popular with baseball fans. The
one main reason for that fact ID
Walter Johnson, the old reliable
pitching ace who has been the
mainstay of the team season after
season. One of the greatest and
gamest pitchers in baseball his.
tory, Johnson has always shown
himself to be a true sportsman.
He commands respect and admir-
alton both on and off the playing
field, keeping his head at all times
and conducting himself in a man.
ner that has won a host of friends
among statesmen and diplomats at
Washington as well as among the
bleacherites. He shuns the lime.
light which in the end does not
lose him any respect in fandom
after some exhibitions made by
others in his line.
Baseball followers would like
very much to see johnson lead
the Senators to victory as a re-
ward for his ability and manliness.
They are roofing strong to this

HARVARD SHORT
ON VETERAN
GR|DDERS
Coach Fisher Faces Task of
Building Team Around
Four Regulars

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 10.
With practice opening on SepteIn-
Der Is, and with only four mem
bers of last years varsity eleven
reporting for duty, Head Coach Bob
Fisher, Of Harvard, faces this Fall
the hardest task he has ever en-
countered In his five-year steward
ship at the Cambridge institution.
"A preseason survey of talent
disclosed to the Harvard mentor
that graduation and ineAgibility had
taken toll Of seven members OF the
team that started the Yale game,
leaving but four men to form the
nucleus of a new machine. The
quartet comprises two linemen, Cap
tain Greenough and bunker, and
two backs, Cheek and Hammond.
Especially alarming is the sltua-
ton in the line, with virtually
every forward Of last years from
tier among the missing.
Ends Ted Crosby, Hen Hill and
Jim Coombs: All-American Tackle
Charley Eastman and Tackle Buck
Evans, and Tubby Grew, 235-pound
guard, were lost through gradua'
ton.
The end situation is further COM
plicated with the announcement
that wild Jim" Coombs, hailed a.
coming star, is on probation and,
therefore, ineligible for the early
games. This leaves only Captain
Nal Grenough and Heinie bunker
as foundations for a new line, with
two ends and tackles and one
guard to be developed.
It is very probable that Captain
Greenough will open the season at
center, with bunker and Gene
Daniel, the latter a substitute, at
guards. It, is also possible that
Coach Fisher will see fit to shift
bunker to his old position at
tackle, moving Bradford, another
second.stringer, into guard. Both
men are good varsity timber.
Two members of last years fresh
man team shape up as fine material
for the tackle positions. They are
Leo Daley, former Andover player,
and Glenn Coady, former Newton

for the line.
The end situation is a toss-up

of last years regulars, and Edwin

SARAZEN RUNS
IN STAKES At
LAUREL
The Maryland Handicap With
$4,000 Purse Attracts
October Turfmen

No better class Of entries viii be
found anywhere than that which is
entered in the $4,000 Maryland
handicap, which will feature the
Laurel Park race meet during the
month of October. This event calls
for three-year-olds to travel over
the mile and a quarter route, and
when the day arrives for the race,
the best thoroughbreds of their age
will answer the bugle. This contest,
being exclusively for three-year-olds,
always has resulted in a spirited
affair, and 1t is probable that his
tory will repeat itself. Such ami.
mails as Sir Barton, Blazes, Bunting
and Ny Own have taken down the
spells, and all came back as older
horses and won big handicaps.
Turfmen did rot overlook their
nominations for the $4,000 race,
and fifty-six thoroughbreds were
entered in the classic. They repre-
sent thirty-three different owners,
and the leading breeders Of the
country are represented.
Among the stables to make nomi-
nations are those owned by Major
August Belmont with three, Ladkin,
Lucky Play and Blind Play; the
Fair Stables Sarazen;' the Ken
ton Stables Senator Norris. A. H.
Morris Stables Rustic, and J. s.
Ward Stables Wise Counsellor.

Postponement Until Tomor-
row Gives Lacey Chance
to Recover

NEW YORK. Sept. 10-With the
postponement of the first match Of
the international polo series until
tomorrow afternoon. it was declared
today that the British team might
be strengthened by the return to
the lineup of Luis Lacey, captain
Of the invaders. Lacey was declared
unfit to play in yesterdays post
poned match, owing to illness, but
is said to be recovering rapidly.
II he resumes his position, the
chances Of a British victory will be
increased, although the Americans
will remain strong favorites to win
not only the match but the series.
Both teams will hold light prac-
tees this afternoon, the British for
the purpose of concentrating on
team play, department in which
they are none too strong.
Original arrangements for the
opening. match, twice postponed on
account of rain, will hold good for
tomorrow with the Prince Of Wales
occupying box with General
Pershing and members Of the
Presidents cabinet.

nzAAE NMIA This Is why:

nant race. The Senators under
Bucky Harris have done marvellous
work this year without taking any
thing away from them but believe
they have been playing q little
above their heads.

teams play their heads off at the
start Of the season and kick up
IN awful fuss. Most people wait
for a team Of this kind to elbow"
but the rest actually thiuk that

other hand there are some teams
that get going good along about

Is true Of the Senators.

what change has come over the
Senators Of last year to make them
champions this year? Have they

seems to me that the answer to
these questions is the answer give
to the riddle we're up against now.
And that answer, repeat, Is this:
The Yanks will win.
The one thing that has upset
the dope more than anything else
has to do with our pitching staff.
On paper before the season started
we had 1t on any pitching staff in
the game-by far.
But Sam Jones gets a sore arm,
Herb Pennock has stomach trouble,
and Bob Shawkey gets sore
shoulder and Joe Bush takes sick,
TOO. In addition to this Waite
Hoyte, who should have developed
into the best pitcher in the league,
goes bad. And the pitching staff
that figured to be the best fell
away short.
But that was some weeks ago.
Herb Pennock is now winning al.
most every time he starts and pitch
ing better than anybody in the
league. Sam Jones has pitched
some good games, and lately it has
looked as though the others-Bush,
Hoyt and Shawkey-are rounding
into form for the dash down the
stretch that leads to the World
Series. And that's just where the
Yankees will land-in the world
series.
Our pitchers are coming around,
