PEPS’ HOME CARO
: IS DWINDLING FAST
Jtewfeds Have Only Eleven
More Games to Be Played
v at Their Park.
r—
SEATON LIKELY TO PITCH
^pOM Seaton, the newest acquisition
of the Peps, is likely to make his
debut as a Pep tomorrow, and Earl
Moseley is the likely pitching selec
, tion for the other game of the double
bill. The fans like to see Earl work.
While it has generally been supposed
that Earl uses the spitter almost con
stantly, such is not the case. Mose
says himself that he has pitched only
one or two spitball games all season.
One of them was at Brooklyn.
When his fast one is zipping over
the plate and his curve ‘ball clipping
the corners he does not need the
spitter, and he bluffs it only on rare
occasions. Bill Rariden Is more than
likely to puli one of his sensational
catch pegs to second if the occasion
presents itself. This is one of the
treats which big crowds rave about,
for it is one of the most difficult
“ stunts on the diamond.

THE Peps have had an easy time
with the Pittsburgh Rebels this
year—knock wood—and many fans
are asking why the Newark team
should find it so easy to beat Oakes's
team while other clubs find it diffi
cult going against the smoke-eaters.
Tt is just another one of those inex
plicable features of the great na
tional game. The Rebels have been
r right around the top all year, yet
they have been pie and pudding for
the Peps.
The club is a better hitting combina
tion than the St. Louis team, but
lacks pitchers of the Fielders’ class,
proving the importance of twirlers.
Ralph Comstock has been added to
the Rebel’s staff and he is likely to
peg in one of the games of the pres
ent set. Comstock is supposed to be
an $11,000 beauty originally uncovered
by the Detroit club. Later he was
n farmed to Providence, became a
member of the Boston Red Sox and
then drifted back to Providence. He
was to have been sold to Cincinnatti
but fate saved him when the Feds
made him an offer which he accept
ed, by signing with Pittsburgh.
* *
*
WHILE Ed Rtielbach has been
busy pitching winning ball for
the Peps he has not wasted any of i
his liesure hours. Ed has been busy
on the Fraternity’s year book which
contains valuable matter for the play
ers and he is also an automobile
salesman.
Ed is still secretary of the Players’
Fraternity—a fact which made him
so unpopular with organized baseball
when he risked his own job to stick
with the under dogs.

Opportunities for Pep fans to
see and root for the Newfods are
rapidly dwindling. Only three. more
Sundays will the Peps have at home,
including tomorrow. All told the
Peps will have Just ten more games
on the local lot following the conflict
with Pittsburgh today. From this
line of dope the fact that the season
is waning, and waning rapidly, is
brought home with a solar plexus
wallop.
It is unfortunate that the Peps’
schedule should have been arranged
in such a way that the team was
home almost constantly during the
first half of the season and that more
than two-thirds of their games were
played at home before July 4. As the
team was not going good .at the time
the fans were slow to warm up. Now
with changed conditions and reduced
prices the Feds are popular and the
schedule is unpopular.
• •
•
IN a circuit as unwieldy as the
Federal League's it is difficult to
patch up a schedule. Kansas City is
away out of the way and the cause
of much of the trouble in framing
dates. But the thing that did most to
* spoil the schedule was the delay in
transferring franchises. Kansas City
was supposed to have been dropped
for Newark, but at the last moment
the Indianapolis franchise was trans
ferred. It made many now difficul
ties and did much to muddle the
schedule. Next year greater care will
be exerted in framing dates.

TWO-PO LEAD IS
Increase Their Margin by De
feat of Whales at
Buffalo.
KAWFEDS NOW SECOND
Newark defeated nobody yesterday,
yet the Peps made a timely gain.
The Newfeds were idle, while Buffalo
was trouncing Chicago. This in
creased Newark's lead. The margin,
however, is slight, as Kansas City
won and passed Chicago. Newark's
lead is now two points instead of one.
Marean* Break In.

SENSATIONAL WORK
AT WAVERLY TRACK
Jess Y. and Duntmo Exception
ally Fast in Mile Work
Outs.
The trotters, Jess Y. and Duntmo,
worked exceptionally fast miles yes
terday afternoon over the Waverly
track. Both horses are the property
of Jacob Roth and In the stable of
Irvin* G. fitelle.
Duntmo and Jess worked out to
gether. In the Anal heat the drivers
decided to let their horses step. Roth,
driving Duntmo, and Stelle up behind
the mare. The horses went to the
half together, Duntmo could not quite
carry JesB’s clip, so Stelle let Jess go
as fast as she pleased for the last
half. She stepped the mile in 2:13%,
which is by far faster than the best
time made this season or last. Dunt
mo finished the mile in 2:16%. The
time shows that Roth owns the two
fastest trotters in this vicinity.
Duntmo In HIK Favorite.
Dantmo should win the 2:18 next
Saturday when the Road Horse Asso
ciation holds Its matinee. Tn the 2:18
class Duntmo will meet such horses
as Bobby Moreland, In-for-I.uck,
Demllne and The Baron.
ltoth's Horses After the Money.
Duntmo will soon leave the Waverly
track with his stable mates, Jess Y.
and Captain Spelr. These horses,
alonff with Beronda, the three-year
old colt, are <?olnc to start for the j
money. Jess Y. Is to start In the 2:21,
purse $1,000, Friday, September 3, at
the Empire meet, of the Grund Circuit
at Yonkers, N. Y. She is entered in
the 2:18 trot, $2,000, at Hartford,
Conn., Tuesday, September 7, and at
Syracuse she will start the followinR
week. These will be the mily three
Starts for this mare on the Grand
Circuit. She Is then slated to go
over the Southern Circuit. This Is
where she will be Joined by her stable
mates.
Jms T. Going: Fa«t.
Jess T. should prove another phe
nomenal trotter. This mare is surely
a 2:10 trotter now. Driver Stoile is
of the opinion that there is no horse
at Waverly who can heat her 3 in 5,
including the fast pacer, Miss Syra
cuse. There are a number of rail
birds of the same opinion.
Itaatna Hus New Owner.
Mr. Stelle offers to beat the best
time made by a trotter at the next
matinee by two seconds if the race
committee will offer a prise for the
performance.
Dr. Charles Bodenweiser has sold
his brown gelding, Rastus, to Andrew
W. Teed, of East Orange.

FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE GROUCH
GETS IN A LEGITIMATE “CRAB"
"I have often wondered how u
pitcher feels when he gets the high
sign to come under the shade of the
shed, when, through no fault of his
own, the opposing team has scored
half a dozen runs,” said the Rabid
Fan to the Perpetual Grouch this
morning.
“Hnving In mind the case of T^ofty
Allen the other day at Fed Park,”
sakl the Grouch, and, as the Fan
nodded, he continued; “That was
partly Allen's fault and partly the
fault of the men behind him, but It
works out the same and the pitcher
nearly always feels the same, wheth
er they boot tho runs In or the op
posing team gets them by good,
smart baseball playing.
“A pitcher that has been der
rieked,” said the Grouch, “feels for
all the world like a fellow who
comes into the office after Ills vaca
tion and finds a new hand at his
desk, and everyone sitting up looking
to see how he is going to take It; or
he feels like the fellow who sits down
quickly on the pavement on a slip
pery day when a crowd stands
around and gives him the “merry ha
ha.’
■'The question Is debatable as to
whether It is a longer walk to the
water pail from the pitcher’s mound
after a recall from the boss plnyer,
or from the home plate after allow
ing a third strike to be called with
the bases loaded?
"You would think that a pitcher
would get used to It,” continued the
Grouch, "hut they don't, and they
never will so long as they have n
heart for their work. They dread
that well-known call of 'Take him
out' from the stands with which they
are greeted on the home ground and
by the silence which always an
nounces their exit from the game on
the road.
“But,” concluded the Grouch, “there
Is the other angle which makes the
pitcher’s life worth while, and that Is
the applause that greets him when he
Is going good and pitching air-tight
ball. Whether that offsets the 'Take
him out’ cry Is another debatable
question which some Solomon of a
pitcher may decide some day.”
"That guy Is a human being after
all,” said the Rabid Fan, ns ho gazed
admiringly after the Grouch as ha
disappeared through the door.
NOTES OF INTEREST GATHERED
IN FEDERAL LEAGUE CIRCUIT
■Benny Meyer helped his old love— ]
Newark—by slamming out a home
run, a double and a single against
Chicago yesterday. That helped the
Peps, for It heat Chicago, and New
ark gained one whole point on the
day’s doings.
Meyer always did have something
on Big George McConnell ever since
the day the pair had a run-in up in
Rochester and threatened to scatter
little bits of one another all over the
field. McConnell had the game tied
until Meyer stepped up and swatted
out a circuit smash in the fifth.
Joe Schulz Is pitching wonderful
ball and Is entitled to be ranked with
the star southpaws of the league. He
held the Whales down.
These same Huff eds w'ho have caused
so much trouble for the various con
tenders will he here next week, and
the Pope may have some trouble,
but BUI McKechnla la not crossing
any bridges—other than those over
the Passaic,—until he has to.
Baltimore Is In a pitiful plight, for
pitchers. Bailey lasted long enough
to get his name in the box scores
with a heavy Ignoble record and
Suggs was bad enough to give Otto
Knabe a few more gray hairs.
Three hits for Benny Ka.uff, one of
them a double, show that the young
ster Is doing his best to get some
notoriety in a way for which ha gets
paid and which will pay him best
in the end.
One of the most remarkable coinci
dences that has ever occurred In
baseball happens today. All three
leaders In the major leagues—Newark,
Boston and Philadelphia, are holding
first place by two-point margins.
PLAN FOR RECORD
CMWDMIOW
With Bargain Attraction and
Close Race P. T. Powers
Makes Provisions.
Accommodations for handling the
biggest baseball crowd since the sea
son opened have been planned by P.
T. Powers for tomorrow. The head of
the Peps, delighted over the enthusi
asm shown by the fans of late, has
made all arrangements to accommo
date a crowd that will rival the pro
portions of the opening day, when
more than 26,000 saw the Federal
League season ushered In.
The Peps are playing groat ball
against one of their nearest rivals.
First place will be the stake battled
for, and two games are the attraction,
making It tl»e biggest bargain of the
season. Newark is leading today by
a margin of two points, with excel
lent prospects of winning ttie title.
Local fans, however, will not bo given
many more opportunities to do any
rooting or to honor their representa
tives. After tomorrow the Peps will
have only eight games to be played
at. home.
The chances of the Newfeds In the
double bill tomorrow will he bright,
for Karl Moseley will be In the pit In
one of the games, and Tom Heaton,
If he warms up properly, will pitch
the other game. For Pittsburgh Corn
stock and Rogge are the most likely
candidates.
The Rebels are leading the league
as a club in the team batting aver
ages, showing that they are no
slouches with the stick, but their team
Is nowhere nearly so evenly balanced
as the Peps. O’Connor is a cunning
old catcher, but he Is not feared by
the Peps’ best base-runners, and the
fans like to see daring work on the
paths.
There will be the usual hand con
cert, starting at 1:80 o’clock. The cur
tain will roll up on the first contest
at 2 p. m. Itoth games should be
thrillers. It Is the big opportunity for
the fans to encourage the Peps with
their rooting, and there Is every Indi
cation that It will he a big day.
Oermany Schaefer was never fun
nier than right now, and he will
spring some new stunts to help to en
tertain the fans.
