PHILADELPHIA, Aug. o..
Now for what may be con-
sidered a really crucial series
between the contenders, the
Philadelphia Athletics and the
Washington Griffmen, lads
going nowhere in particular
and doing SO nobly.
According to the Griffs, the As
have an excellent chance of catching
the tottering Yankees but according
to most Philadelph the chances
are not so good.
ssIf we were as close to the YAM
KEGS today as the Mackmen are, J"
says Bucky Harris, we'd be mighty
certain of our chances. But with
the AS that may be different. I'm
not so sure about their own con.
fidence. II they have the old stuff,
they should make a great fight for
the flag. IL they haven't, they can
say good night to the champion
ship. This series opening today
and ending in Washington Sunday,

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT?

It is probably true that Hughie Critz, the Cincinnati Reds sen sational second baseman, would make just as astonishing stops and throws by any other, name, but he probably finds his own pronunciation less popular than that of any other major league baseball player. Hughie makes Critz sound like fights, which is just what he does when he gets in a baseball uniform. Many players and fans say Critz as if it should rhyme with Fitz.

Jack Warhop, who is doing his pitching this year in the Pacific Coast League, is qualified to take his place with the bold spirits who went on the mound against that hard hitter, Father Time, and forced the old boy to miss a third strike. Jack is older than Grover Cleveland Alexander, al though not yet so aged as Cy Young and Iron Man Joe McGin- nity were when they finally called it a day.
 Last year in the Eastern league Jack won II games and lost sev- en, mystic figures that would have aroused the admiration of walters in Southern hotels who always had a bet down on his team when he pitched in Dixie. Two of the victories came in one day when he won a doubleheader for Bridgeport.
 Warhop was with the New York Americans 20 years ago and in spite of his unassuming phy- sique\ was able to remain in fast company eight years. Warhop came to the big league and left it with many fans convinced that he was an Indian, although such was not the case. His name had an Indian cound and tba fact ba played for time on trouping team of Indians lent strength to the superstition. As matter of fact all of his war whoops were pure imitation.
 When the former Highlander was making his first appearance in the Sally league, he went with Columbia, s. C., to open the sea son at Augusta, Ga. All the ne. gro hotel walters and bellboys were out to see the season open ed. It was announced that War hop will pitch for Columbia" One of the bellboys, very black and very enthusiastic, turned to a companion.
 'I used to see a MT. Warhop pitch for New York when I was a bellboy at the McAlpin," he said. If this is the same one. I'll know him, cause he throws the ball underhand."
 About that time, Jack came out from the bench and began to warm up.
 That's him." fairly screamed the former New York hotel at tache, as he pulled thin roll of notes from his pocket. How much money is you boys got?" Jack paid him a handsome divi- dend, shutting out the opposition to win.

VERY LITTLE BUT LOUD

Little Jackie Tavener, who Etands only five feet, five inches from the ground and weighs only about 40 pounds wet with per spiration, is the smallest regular player in the major leagues, but refuses to permit his lack of pounds and inches to discourage him at bat. The diminutive Tiger shortstop has started on his cam paign for extra bases and has al ready won place among the more or less select few who have hit for the circuit in the American league. With a circuit clout in the first week of the season to start him he should break his record of five last season.
