SEVENTH WORLD
 SERIES FOR AS
Connie Mack Is Only One Of Club to Have Seen First Games

Philadelphia. Sept 2S tPJ-The Philadelphia Athletics will partici- pate in the worlds series for the seventh time.
 Only one man connected with the playing side of the club when the White Elephants entered their first worlds series in 1905 remains in inc same position. He is Cornelius McGillicuddy. 66-year-old manager. who still is matching wits with the Acat of the younger tacticians.
 The opponents of the Athletics fl years ago were the New York Giants under the management of John J. McGraw. Each team had won two ponnants in their leagues, New York in 1904 and 1905 and the Athletics in 1902 and 1905, and the two aggregatons were regarded as very evenly matched.
 l. was the first worlds series played under the national cOmmis- aion rules, which. with a few modi- fications, still prevail.
 The Giants defeated the Athletics four games 10 one mainly through the great pitching of the masterIy ChriSty MatheWsOn. The series was remarkable because not run was scored by the losing team. There were five games played each result { ing in q shut out. This performance has hC"n been repeated in a world 5 series since. But this will not be considered as very remarkable when one remembers that the winning pitchers were Mathewson, Iron Man" McGinnity and Chief Bender.
 MathoWson performed the re- ! markablc feat Of shutting out the American League champions with ouD q run in the three games he pitched, or T consecutive innings. Chief Bender pitched two games, allowing only two runs in 1 & innings, winning his first game , 10 and losing the second , 10 Q.
 X feat that~pcascd the PhiIadcl- | phia fans was the striking out three 1 times in one game of Big Dan" . McGann, captain Of the New York Giants, mighty hitter in his day.
 Philadelphia fans charged the de- feat of their team in the series to the fact that the Athletics had ex- haustcd themselves in winning the league pennant only three days be fore the world series opened, whil- ! the Giants had clinchcd the National emblem two weeks before the close Of the season and began practicine to meet the winner of the junior league, The Giants appeared spick and span in new worlds series uni forms of black suits and white stockings, while the Athletics hardly had time to have their old suits washed.

Since April he has kept at golf, maintaining his scoring form with only slight ro- lapses through the spring summer and fall Tuesday he played q - and Wednesday a 76. He Was the only local player 10 qualify for the state championship.
 Neither contender for GOlGng hon ors at shuttle Meadow is stylist, but both are Groovcd in their own form and do not switch their stanc- es. no matter how they are going Hart drives d long tee shot that starts low and runs well after the ball hits the fairWay.

SERIES MAY BREAK
 UP NACK'S SLEEP
Daily Routine Of Athletic Man. a8eG to Be Shattered by Games

Philadelphia, Sept. 2S P'-1t3 pretty well understood out arounI shibe park that this world series fracas between the Athletics and the Cubs is going to break in on Connie Mack's regular mapping hour.
 Newspaper men who have tho run os Mack's tower offices at tEy ball park have known the veteran managers daily routine for years, hence they can foreseo how the series will interfere with his sleep.
 Every day during the home games Mack leaves for the ball park. ac- companicd usually by Mrs. Mack. at 1o;3o q. m. Formerly he woulI enter through the press gate. but not now, This is world series ticket time so he dodges through S sid- entrance. slips along the Catwalt over q boiler room and reaches tha iron stairway leading to the tower unobscrycd.
 There he takes care Of his corro- SpOndcnCN and receives the reports Of his scouts
 Then. every afternoon at 2;45 p. m. the 66-year-old manager takes u nap on a red leather couch i'll his office suite For 3o minutes he relaNes completely. But at &:1T fifteen minutes before game tim. he awakcns. has q sandwich and q glass of milk, then goes to the club house and prepares his lineup.
 From there he takes his place on the bench, gets his famous wig-wag- Sing scorecard in working order and directs the play Of his team 1y series Of signals evolved years ago \ small black notebook in a vest pocket is part of the equipment carried to the bench.

 The baseball stage was left vacant yesterday except for the perform- ences at Philadelphia and St Louis. The Phillies defeated tho Braves | to 3 in the first clash of d threr- game series, comcnting their posi- tion in fifth place and tho Cardinals made it two straight over the hrok- en Pirates by to ., The defeated Pittsburgh left the Buccaneers only two games ahead Of tho Giants. with week Of the season 10 go.
 The Clan McGraw has eight games to play; the Pirates have six. It the Giants can win SIX out Of eight, the Pirates must take four out Of six 10 prevent a tie. The task or the Giants, however, is by no means negligible A deficit Of two games is no mean deficit handicap at this season.
 Ray Koupal held the Braves fairly well in check at Baker Bowl as his mates pounded the Messrs LeYorett, Peery and Delaney. Chuck Klein got his 42nd homer in the first in- ming with one on. and moved into g tie with Melvin Ott Of New York for the leagues lead. Kleins drive also tied the National league record set in 1922 by Rogers Hornsby and equalled this week by Ott.
 Frank O'Doul, the reformed pitch CT, had a perfect day at bat with three safcties and a pass. He lifted his average from .391 to .394, and virtually clinched the National league cham pionship. Babe Herman has only ,3S4, and has just six games in which 10 make up the deficit.
 Fred Farmhouse and sylvester Johnson outpitched Erwin Brame to give the Cardinals their second straight over the Pirates Bunchcd hits in the first inning settled the is- sue.
 The other National league clubs were not scheduled. and all of the American league entries remained idle because of the funeral services or NJi11ar IIucpiDS in Now York

T. s. (TED) HART
 Champion

cncc was one over par when the match ended and stymic account ed for the loss of a par on tho 10th hole. In the previous rounds his medal was about so.
 So much for the comparative play of the fn&lIsts during tn" tourna ment's match play. In the quali- fying round Manning shot a 75 and Hart played d 7a. As to their low scores Of the season. both have tied the amateur course record with G9s.
 That pair of GAS is a good indic&- ton Of what either player is Cap- able of shooting if the ball gets to rolling for one or the other On every hole the champ or the former champion is quite liable to be put ting for a birdie. They do not dub many shots between tee and green.
 Going back into their records, Manning shows mp with four cham pionships at shuttle Meadow to his credit. He has his name on the platter twice since it was presented in 1924. One more win, under it's present status. and it is his to keep.
 Clarence was high school cham , rion in Massachusetts and in his carly days beat Francis Ouimet when the two attended rival schools. During the last two years he has taken little time from his business for the game and consequently has more off days than he would haze if he played often enough to keep his game hot. But in spite of this lack of practice, Manning is likely to turn in q low score any day he plays.
 Ted Hart. like Manning, has play d golf since his school days. For

CLAIM OF $3.50, 1854
APPROVED BY COURT
Judgment Awarded for Losses Suf-
fered by Company in Cancella-
ton Of U. S. Contract.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Court of Claims
has awarded a judgment Of $269, 836.74
to the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend
ing Co. of Harrisburg, Pa, for losses
sustained through the cancellation of a
contract with the United States for
800 900 four-inch proiectiles.
The court also ordered the Govern
ment to pay interest on the sum at the
rate OF per cent from the date the
contract was Cancelled, April 26, 1919.
At the time the contract was made,
June, 1917. the court found, the COM
pany already was engaged in the manu-
facture of 100000 projectileS for the
United States. Later that year the
number of proiecti!es ordered to be
manufactured for the Government was
increased by 100000.
After receiving information from Gov
eminent inspectors which the court held
justified the belief that another 100000
proiectiles would be ordered, the COM
pany purchased manganese and other
raw material TT. Judgment covered

as supplies purchased after the contract
was made
