the Redskins tuck away the Eastern

tie in their 2 pm. game against the
Philadelphia Pittsburgh Eagles.
Hot on the trail of their second
straight world championship, the
Skins. without much question, will
meet the Chicago Bears in the Windy
City December 10 for the national
title the Washington club won last
year against the same Bears. Only
a series of miracles could keep either
the Redskins or the Bears out of the
playof spot. In the case of the
Skins it could be three successive
losses in remaining games against
the Philpitts and Giants, thereby
creating a tie with the Philpitts for
the Eastern title and necessitating
playof game. The Bears probably
will wind up the Western Division
race with a win over the Cardinals,
whom they licked earlier in the sea-
son, 200. 81
It's Another Sell0ut.
Another sellout throng of 35,540

crown. A 14-14 tie with the same
Philpitts f3 the only blemish on the

He'll take his board of strategy

and young Calvin Griffith, who
looks after much of the Mats minor

ager Steve O'Neill to a new one
year contract. Salary figures were
undisclosed.
ONeill, whose home is in Cleve-
land, will join General Manager
Jack Zeller of the Tigers in New
York Monday to begin negotiations
at the baseball meetings for 1914
playing talent. The Tigers are down
to Is players and several of these
are headed for the armed forces.
The 52-year-old ONeill, who
served previous two-and- "a half
year managerial term with Cleve-
land, led the Tigers in 1912 to 78
victories and 76 defeats, the clubs
best record in three seasons. How
ever, the Tigers faded in Septem-
Der and finished fifth.
ONeill was named a year ago to
the day as successor to Delmar
Baker.
Big Steve's top assistant in 1914
again will be AL Vincent.
The front Office has branded as
false a report that George Uhle,
O'Neill's former battery mate, would
be Detroit coach.
The club announced one personnel
change, however. Gustav F. Nemitz,
trainer for four years, is remaining
at his home in Fort Worth, Tex,
and Raymond D. Forsyth. trainer
of the Detroit Lions football team,
is to replace him.
