NEW YORK, Sept. 25. By winning
another double-header from the St.
Louis Nationals here today, 1 to 0 and 6
to 2. the New York Giants won their
21st straight victory and created a new

smashing the record of the Providence
Nationals, who won 20 straight games
in 1884. Schupp and Perritt. who have
both pitched great ball during the New
York team's great run of victories,
twirled In fine fashion, and had the St.
Louis batters at their mercy. Schupp
tied the Providence record by shutting
out St. Louis in the first game. During
the winning streak Schupp has"pLtched
two two-hit games, two three-hit games
and one six-hit game, three of them
being shutouts.
Meadows also pitched a strong game,
and was defeated by an error, Bohen
making a pair of two-base wild throws
In the fourth inning on Robertson and
Fletcher, the former scoring.
In the second game Perritt. a former
St. Louis pitcher, pitched the Giants to
the new record over his former team
mates, and struck out nine men. The
Giants used all of their six hits in
scoring on Lotz, Zimmerman hitting a
pair of doubled which were good for
three runs. Before hitting the first one
he was presented with a valise by
friends from his home in Bronx Bor
ough. Scores:

Chicago 7-2, Brooklyn 4-4.
BROOKLYN, Sept. 25. Brooklyn man
aged to hold the lead in the National
League pennant race by dividing a
double-header with Chicago. The vis
itors won the first game, 7 to 4, in 10
innings. Brooklyn had the game ap
parently safe up to the seventh, when
Cheney's wildness let in two runs.
Johnston's muff of a fly with two out
let in the tying run, and his misjudg
ment of another which gave Wortman
a home run started a rally by Chicago
in the tenth that netted four runs and
the game.
Brooklyn took the second, 4 to 2,
through Marquard's pitching. Errors
behind him allowed the visitors to tie
the score in the eighth, but the locals
came back with three hits which, with
a passed ball gave them two runs and
the game. Scores:

WAR AFFECTS HOCKEY
EASTERN CANADA ASSOCIATION
TEAMS MAY NOT PLAY.
"Winter Sport May Be Taken X'p by
EnllHted Men Frank Patrick la
Said to Be Seeking Players.
OTTATVA, Can., Sept 25. (Special.)
Hockey rumors are thick now. some
to the effect that Frank Patrick is
after Eastern players, though whether
for the Portland. Seattle or probably
new Spokane team is not known. As
neither Ottawa, the Wanderers nor
Toronto may play hockey this Winter,
the rumor probably arose through the
possibility of players being available.
Manager Livingstone says the To
ronto team wil play as usual, but of
ficials of the Wanderers and Ottawa
hockey clubs are out with intimations
that war conditions will not allow
them to pay players any such fancy
salaries as they did last Winter.
Some people are suggesting that the
hockeyists should lay low this season,
as baseball and football teams have
done On the other hand, hockey is
immensely popular here and as crowds
of from 5000 to 7000 are common at
games, at prices from 25 cents to $1,
there would not seem to be much foun
dation for the financial cry.
The chances are that when really
cold weather sets in the N. H. A, will
be irk force as usual, and Eastern teams
will be striving keenly to win the
championship and take a trip to the
Coast to play the winner of the Pa
cific Coast hockey aggregation. In case
the N. H. A. does not operate in Otta
wa this Winter, there likely will be
a league formed of military teams,
taken from the hockey experts of the
various military aggregations prepar
ing to go to the front.

NEW TORK. Sept. 25. Charles Eb

tion to humanity, and Ebbets and Her
zog were invited to address the congre
gation.
Mr. Ebbets subject was "Clean Liv
ing Is Necessary in Baseball."
Mr. Herzog made remarks along the
same line and also prophesied that his
club would keep up its winning streak
ALBANY OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
Coach Bailey Expects Good Results
From New and Prospective Players.
ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.)
The football outlook in Albany Col
lege ts bright. Though the squad feels
keenly the loss of Gloor, Sprenger and
Stewart, new material is more abun
dant this year than in former years
Starr, Johnson and Hart are showing
up particularly u ruuuits
a
1 f
Grover Cleveland Alexander
and French, Dawson and -Hunter are
showing up well in their old positions.
Coach Bailey is optimistic concerning
the outcome of the year's games. New
material of a high quality is expected
to enter college later. Miller, a former
Albany High star, and Archibald, who
played with Willamette last year. Will
probably enroll Tater. These men com
bined with those already in training
should round out a strong eleven.

it three out of four today by winning
from the Cleveland Americans, 2 to 0.
Cleveland made as many hits as Bos
ton, but could do nothing with Ruth
with men on bases.
Scratch hits by Janvrin and Shoten,
Hoblitzel's sacrifice and Lewis' sacri
fice fly gave Boston one in the fourth,
while Thomas' double and Ruth's single
produced another in the fifth. A one
hand pickup by, Gardner that started
a double play was the fielding feature.

Chicago 5, New York 1.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25. The American
League season closed here today with
a 5 -to-1 victory for Chicago over New
York. The locals by their win remained
in the pennant race, two and one-half
games behind Boston, who also won.
Chicago won the game by bunching
hits off Russell, Felsch'a home run,
which cleared the left field screen, be
ing the winning run in the fourth in
ning. The locals clinched the contest
by hitting Love hard. Baker's walk in
the fifth inning, an infield out and
Walters' single saved the visitors from
a shutout. Felsch received $103 after

The Sportlight.
By Grantland K Ice.
To Any Friend.
If T may call you. friend, I wish you this
No gentle destiny throughout the year;
No soft content, or ease, or unearned bliss
Bereft of heart-ache where no sorrow
near.
But rather rugged trouble for a mate
To mold your soul against the coming
blight.
To train you for the ruthless whip of fate
Aad build your heart up for the bilter
fight.
If I may call you friend, I wish you more
A rare philosophy no man may fake.
To put the Kama itself beyond the score
And take the tide of life as it may break.
To know the struggle- that a man should
know
Before he comes through with the win
ning hit. v
And, though you slip before -the charging
foe.
To love the game too well to ever quit.
If I may call you friend. I wish this, too.
As you grope blindly out the narrow beat.
That you may have one old-time dream
come true.
Which Is one more than most men ever
meet.
That you will hold this as a worthy prise
For all the traps with which the course
was lined.
Not scorning It with too ambitious eyes
That look for somtthlng you can never
find.
Settling jt Bet.
Sir To settle a wager, wasn't Connie
Mack the author of "The Fall of the
House of Busher"?
Yes. and in about a year from now
he will be the author of the popular
refrain: "This is the Team That Mack
Built,"
Harvard's Big Margin.
K. H. F. As we recall the figures,
in the last four years Harvard has
scored 112 points to Yale's five the
scores bing 20 to 0, 15 to 5, 36 to 0
and 41 to 0. In the same four years
Harvard has scored less than 50 against
Princeton, yet Yale has had all the bet
ter of Princeton In the four Tiger-Hull
dog contests. Yale has played her poor
est games against Harvard and Prince
ton has done her worst playing against
Yale. Part of this has undoubtedly
been due to the fact that Princeton had
to meet Yale immediately after the
Harvard game, while Yale had to meet
Harvard immediately after the-Princeton
game. That one Saturday of rest
for Harvard has been quite a factor,
but not enougTi to take anything away
from Harvard's undoubted superior
power.
Discovering Connie.
"I see." a friend of ours remarked a
day or two ago. that a number of
sporting writers have suddenly discov
ered Connie Mack. They have sudden
ly discovered that a wise, patient, per
severing man who picks out a certain
goal to reach is going to arrive In a
given time. Just as If Connie had not
already built over three machines with
which he has won six pennants."
Tbe Many Who Are Called.
Many are called as the saying la
Many are called with a- rap;
But most of them stifle another yawn
As they turn for another nap.
At La.tf
Ten years ago this Fall a St. Louis
outfielder named Stone led Ty Cobb
thrnueh the batting stretch.
Since that date a decade back the
eternal Tyrus has taken no man's dust
in the most amazing batting record
ever known. But there had to be a
ttimlnir point somewhere in the long
lane and. unless a super-miracle oc
curs, Cobb must now follow Speaker to
the wire, for Trls, unlike the others,
has refused to break and slip back
against the test. So it begins to look
a if Tv'k 10-vear ambition is doomed:
but even if it is, that nine-year mark
will stand as a worthy target for a
great many generations yet to come. If
no man in the game oeiure
Ijiioie. Keeler. Anson. Burket. Dele-
hanty was able to beat a four-year
reign, what chance is there ahead to
bat a nine-year rule in the Kingdom of
Swat?

Kullerton's Prophecy for

Under Andy Smith the University of
California football team will use a lot
of fake formation stuff this Fall.
Smith has the men coached to feint
toward one end. jump back into posi
tion quickly, and then slam bang some
other spot in the line.
Harvard used this system to some
extent, and it was Haughton's knack
of covering his point of attack that so
bewildered Yale in the big game last
Fall. Yale possessed enough power to
push the Singer building out of plumb,
as proved by its showing against
I'rinceton. But against Yale the lilue
didn't know where to exert this power
and the result was a disastrous wal
loping. Possibly Eddie Mahan collaborated
with Head Coach Smith in installing
the system at California. Mahan and
A. IS. JSiegler. ail-American lineman
at Pennsylvania in 190G and 1907. are
assisting Smith with the tutoring.
A rumor ia being given credence in
the south that the big leagues have a
"blacklist" on Marty McOaffigan. of
the Vernon club. McGaffigan refused
to report to the Cubs a couple of years
ago. Undoubtedly this Is pirrie, be
cause if there had been a "blacklist"
it is hardly likely that any big league
club would have drafted McGaffigan in
the beginning. McGaffigan is one of
the cleverest little short patchers since
Dave Bancroft's days in the Coast
League, and some big league club could
well afford to risk $2500 on him.
Shortstops of caliber in the big leagues
are as rare as snake s teeth.

MORE MEN BUYING
CLOTHES ON CREDIT
THIS SEASON
The Immense volume of business;
which the men's department of Cherry's
Credit Clothing Shop is enjoying this
month, with the Autumn season just
beginning, furnishes striking evidence,
that more men than usual are using
their credit this season to outfit them
selves with new Autumn and Winter
clothes.
Of course this store does a tremendous
credit business all the time, but the
rush in the last 10 days indicates that
Cherry's Credit System will be mora
widely patronized than ever before this
Autumn.
One reason why men find It so easy
to outfit themselves at CHERRY'S,
aside from the advantage of being able
to pay for their clothes on weekly or
monthly installments, is because this
store has such a big variety of Suiti
and Overcoats in the newest cut and
colors, conservative or swagger.
Probably nearly every man in town
knows where Cherry's Store is a big,
up-to-date place, located at 389 - SI
Washington street. Pittock block. You
will have no difficulty whatever find
ing it. Adv.
