ATHLETICS IRRITABLE
 AS SERIES DATE WEARS
Rain Clouds Rasping on Nerves of American League Champions the Past Few Days.

Philadelphia, Oct. The cham pion Athletics are becoming some what irritable waiting for the rain clouds to roll by. A soggy ball park twice postponed their doubleheader here with Washington and yester- day, with no sign of clearing wealth CT, the games were tossed out of the schedule for good. The cham pions cravod work but didn't get it. The Athletics haven't even gone through the motions of playing ball since Sunday and loafnG at this time doesn't appeal to them. The monotony of hanging around their homes and hotels has been varied by playing golf, but none of them regards it asta satisfying substitute for baseball. FoXX Simmons Coch- rane, Hale, Perkins and Summa arc keen golfers and get ont on the links at every opportunity.
 A group of pitchers headed by Bill shores takes in two or three movies a day, and sedatc young men like Dykes, Bishop and Boley spend leisure time watching the stock market reports.
 Some of the regulars have taken on weight during their idlcness, but Mack believes this won't handicap them against the Cubs. As a mat ter of fact he thinks the extra poundage will come in handy dur ing the series and that the As will be better off overweight tn. if they had finished the season .-,cged out after a close pennant race.

 New Haven is all worked up over the football game Sunday between the New Britain Nutmegs and the Williams team and scenes like the old times at Andrews lot when the old-time elevens representing both clubs used to meet in battles that arc now famous. There will be plenty of New Britain rooters on the scene and the local team won't want for moral backing at least.
 Persistent rumors that Radzewich would be with the New Britain eleven starting next Sunday were spiked by Manager Conley today. He stated that he had heard nothing from the Torrington star and did not expect him on the lot. If he ar rives, he will be welcome but so far, nothing has been heard from him.
