Coach Rutherford has announced that his varsity candiadtes will be assembled on Francis Field at 10 A.

and at 2 p. m. Last week he requested 33 Pike-way students to report for the inaugural workout. In a circular letter to members of his squad he announced that all out-of-town players would receive sleeping accommodations at the university dormitories until the start of semester. Throughout the season the players will eat their evening meal at the school.

Inasmuch as spring practice was held on the Pikeway last April and May, many of the candidates will ready early to start the intenaur training. Several of the more prominent players spent the summer at camps, swimming pools and on recreational fields, and should be in good condition to tackle the workouts. Rutherford has not heard recently from Eber Simposn and does not yet know when his assistant- will to aid him in conducting practice. Should Simpson fail to report this week, the maroon tutor will probably use a few of the graduated varsity men like Kling, Kohlbry and l'ott-hoff. Dr.

Totals Reuther, southpaw, at present the leading pitcher in the National League, was considered not good enough for the Cubs. But under Moran he has developed into on of he best in baseball. The same goes for Hod Eller and Jimmy. Ring.Both were good pitchers, but today they are stars. One of the chief mottos of Moran Is "to play the game ahead of you first." Moran, who has proven a success with two clubs that were not figured upon as real pennant contenders, says that there is no golden rule for a manager to follow to be successful.

Just Work That's Moran'a Secret. "A manager to be successful -nust be a hara worker. He must have tho confidence of his men. who will work hard for him. That is the real sscret the success of the Reds this jear.

Both were well played, with the pitchers showing great form. The twirling and hitting of Seib enabled the Wagners to go into the final: Seib held his rivals to five hits, while he rapped out a double and a homer and also laid down a sacrifice. Phil Todt was the Arcadias' pitcher.

Error Help Waenrra. In the second inning the Wagners put over a run when Bernsen walked, Bott was safe on Todt's error and Daly walked, fiilling the bases. Wick-man flied to right and a double play resulted, but Seib was safe on an error and Bott scored. Seib's homer gave the Wagners another in the fifth. The Arcadias tied it in the sixth, when Whitley walked and Conboy and Todt singled, scoring Whitley.

Enghauser's long fly tallied Conboy. A double by Wickman, Seib's martyr death and C. LaBarge's hit gave another in the seventh, while Bartnett's error on Wickman and Seib's double produced the final one in the ninth. Screw Co. Score Early.

The St. Louis Screw Co. won its game from the Starters in the first inning, when three runs were" scored. Meyers walked, Reidy sacrificed and was safe on an error; Gregory walked, filling the bases. All three scored when Fiebig doubled.

A homer by Fiebig in the sixth feave the Screw Co. its fourth run, while a hit, sacrifice and error gave the final one. Laue's double and Novack's single gave the Starters their lone marker. The scores: SCREW CO. 5.

Riddle's chestnut colt Man o' War, by Fair Play-Mahuba. won the Classic Futurity over the six-furlong straightaway course at Belmont Park today, having led from start to finish, in 3-5. Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskbroom colt, John P. Grier, finished second, three lengths behind the winner and five lengths in front of Samuel C. Hil-dredth, Dominique, which got third money.

Running down the middle of the track with Jockey Loftus steering him straight without urging him, Man War won easily and proved conclusively that he is the 2-year-old champion of the year. Today's winner should have had a clean slate for 1919, but through mistakes made by Jockey Loftus suffered defeat just once, and that was at Saratoga last month. The value of the stake to the winner was $26,650, with $3106 for the second and $1503 for the third horse. RECRUIT HURLER WINS FOR GRIFFS SENATORS WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.

The following article is by way ofi introducing Pat Moran, whose club undoubtedly will represent the Na- tional League in the world's series. Ball players win world's champion- ships; but only after some canny manager has inspired them with the spirit of victory. Moran's case seems to prove that a leader is to be valued for his understanding of his menl rather than for his schemes of play.

PAT MORAN, 43 years old, and hero of the greatest double-play ever pulled in baseball, towit: William Baker to John McGraw to' Garry Hermann, has proven the real "miracle man" of the 1919 season. For leading a band of cast-offs players who have been with other major league clubs Moran at present has practically clinched the championship of the National; League. Thoraughness more than anything else has made Moran a success as a manager. During his playing days he was never considered a real star. But he was always a reliable catcher.

His greatest worth came in his abil ity to develop pitchers. That was his main task while with the Cubs i and before he became manager of the Phillies in 1915. Moran always talks baseball. That's his way While he does not run rough-shod over his players, he nevertheless has the respect of every man on his club. When a player makes a costly mistake.

Moran does not ride him. He calls the tosser aside and gives him a lecture. That has been Moran's style with the Reds. Frank Bancroft, who has been connected with baseball' for more' than 40 years, says, that he considers Moran "one of the greatest managers in baseball today." Ix'ft-IIantl Hurling No Mystery. When in the spring Moran found himself over-burdened with southpaw batters, he did not start scouring the country for right-handed hitters.

Instead, he inaugurated a morning practice sess'on in which his southpaw batters did nothing but hit against left-handd pitchers. Result: Today his lefthanders are just as apt to break up a Kithouge's hurling as any of his right-hand clouters. Moran's sterling qualities as i coach of pitchers also have been brought out forcibly.

of my two decades in professional baseball. "As leader it is my business to give orders and these are always carried out. Not by the "mailed fist" method, as I do not believe in that style, but as one friend to another. The players carry them out because they have confidence in me. "But the one real secret is work.

Baseball, just like everything else, ia a business. You cannot succeed In business unless youwork. The sane principle applies to the national pastime." The rise of the Reds has been one of the real sensations of the" national pastime in 1919. Moran took a club, which with few exceptions was the same as that which finished third in 1918 with a 58 50 record in a city which never had a pennant winner, and went to the front at the start and has remained there throughout the greater part of the season. When the crucial series with the Giants was played, Moran's men won four of six and thereby practically clinched their right to play in the world's series." Even Old "Sal" Ia Going Good.

Sensational pitching from Reuther, Sallee. Ring and Eller, with good relief duty from Fisher and Lunue, coupled with timely hitting and reliable fielding, have been the main reasons for the success of Moran's club. Moran received his baptism as a manager In 1915. The players of the Philadelphia club, after Charley Dooin had been deposed, sent a request to William Baker that Moran be made manager. The request was granted and his first season he won the pennant.

Since then he finished below 500 only once, in 1918. Moran won for th Phillies with a mediocre team and one great pitcher Grover Alexander. Last fall. Moran- was released bv the Phillies and Jack Coombs made manager. He signed with John -McGraw as coach.

But when the Reds received no answer from Christy Mathewson concerning his- return from France. Mora nwas offered th place as manager. McGraw allowed him to go. A brief history of Moran reads as follows: Born Feb. 6, 1876, in Fitch-burg, where he resides during the off season; weight 175 pounds, height 5 feet 10 inches.

Started playing in 1895 with semi-professional club; with Lyons, Mass. 1S97-98: Montreal. 1899, 1900; drafted by Braves and with team until when he was traded to the Cubs; remained with Cubs until 1910, when he was sold to Phillies. Remained with Phillies as coach until when he was made manager, and managed club until he was deposed last winter. Braves Gain Even Break With Reds Smith's Error Enables Leaders to Win Opener Ring Is Chased in Second.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1. The Boston club held the league leaders to an even break in their double-header here this afternoon. Cincinnati won the first game on three hits. Smith dropped Neale's fly ball with the bases full and two out in the fifth Inning, and three runs scored.

But for this error the Reds would have been shut out by Scott. In the second game Ring was hit freely, while Causey was very effective. Ring was knocked out of the bOX in the seventh inning and Luque finished the game. Score: FIRST GAME. BOSTON.

Nor did they show much talent, with the 'exception of Johnny Tobin and Joseph Schepner. They blew another double-header, their second in as many playing days, and descended to within a game of the Red Sox, even though Barrow's men l06t to Cleveland. The scores were 4 1 and 9 6. More than 12,003 attended. Cworge Mogridge's curves- were too much for the Browns in the opener, and Sothoron had a bad first inning, from the effects of which his teammates did not recover.

There was no good excuse for St. Louis dropping the second game, for they tallied Six runs before New York started to score, but where they left off tallying the Yanks took up the practice with avidity and in the next four frames whaled Bert Gallia and Lefty Leifield for nine runs. Tobin's fielding and slugging and Schepner's all-around work were the bright spots In the Browns' dull play. Tobin's bat, exceptionally active these days, accounted for fnur of the seven runs credited to St- Louis in the course of the afternoon. He whacK 'd Mogridge for the visitors' only t.illy of the first game in the sixth inning and in the Browns' big session in the aftermath wherein they drove Herbert Thormahlen to cover, he poled another home this time with two on base.

Schepner, the rookie, showed well at bat and at third base. Pratt Drives fa Two Runs. Allan Sothoron started wildly. He hit Fewster in the first inning. Peck fanned.

Baker singled to right. Pipp intercepted a wild curve with his hip and the bases were jammed. Pratt smacked a single to center, counting Fewster and Bake. Schepner leaped ior Lfwis oounaer ana inrew oui Pipp at the plate, but Bodie singled, counting Pratt. Mogridge kept the five hits he allowed well scattered Sothoron pitched ably after his bad start.

Tobin led off the sixth with his circuit clout. The Yaiks got back the one run in their half of the sixth on Baker's scratch hit to short field, Pipp's martyr bunt and Pratt's solid poke to center. Sisler, who while not doing much hitting, got on base four times in the second game, opened the Browns' big inning in the late contest with a double to left. Demmitt popped to Pratt. Pratt foozled Severeid's slow roller, Sisler taking third.

Schepner doubled, scoring Sisler and sending Severeid to third. Gerber chopped to Baker, who got Severeid at the plate, but Gallia singled over second, I counting scnepner. "room men ieapea I on one and chased Gerber and Gallia around the bases. Severeid Drive In Rom. Quinn took up the pitching task in the third and did well for two innings, the fifth Jacobson's single, a fielder's choice and hits by Demmitt and Severeid produced a run.

The Yanks rose up then and Lewis' single, Bodie's double and Ruel's scratch hit over second gave them two markers in their half. Gerber's boot on Peckinpaugh. two outs, Pratt's double and Lewis' bingle.gave New York two more in the sixth. Ruel was passed at the opening of the New York seventh. Shore, who pitched the last four innings for New York, singled, and Fewster walked, filling the bases.

Burke took Gallia out and called in Lei-Xield. Peck fanned, but Baker singled, counting Ruel and Gallia and Pipp's long fly to Jacobson enabled Fewster to score. Singles by Pratt and Lewis produced another run before the Inning was' ended. Fewster'3 double and Peck's single with two out in the eighth, gave New York its ninth counter. The series ends with tomorrow's game in which Carl Mays will oppose the Browns, who have only Wright and Maple left for pitching duty.

the Giants' star lefthander, who came from the Boston Braves for four players and cash, yesterday set the Cardinals down with three hits, and as a. result, the Knot-Holers -were shut out in the tsecond game of the series, 2-0. Only ubout 3000 of the faithful turned out- The "break" that lost for the locals came in the sixth inning-. With two out, Fletcher singled and stole second. Arnold Statz.

the greatest golfer in the national pastime, beat out a bunt On the next play, demons had Statz stealing by 15 feet, but Rogers Hornsby who took the throw failed to tag the runner. That lost the old ball game as George Kelly followed with a Fn'etv on which Fletcher and Statz tallied. But- with Nehf hurling as effec tively as he did yesterday, there's no telling" when Rickey's men would have been able to scoe off him. Throughout the nine innings, only four men raw first base, and not one as far as second, much less third. That's how Nehf was working.

Hratjr Safe Krror. Starting the second inning. Horns-ny. first up, was safe on Fletcher's fumble. He got no further as Mc-Henry and demons flied to Statz and Moltwitz rolled out.

In the next round with one gone. Jambs singled through Frisch. but Schultz and Heathcotte both went out on short flies. After that Nehf retired the Cardinals "In. one-tworthree order until with one out In the seventh.

Hornsby rounced a hit off Fisch's shins. McHenry and Clemons followed with outfield flies. Joe Schult opened the locals portion of the ninth with a single to left and Jack Smith was sent1 to run for him. Smith immediately gummed it bv being picked off first, Gonzales to Kelly. Jaeoka Harla Good Game.

Elmer Jacobs pitched good ball during the six innings he tolled. T'p to the fatal sixth, when Hornsby's break lost the frame, he had allowed only two hits, although seven of Mc-Oraw's athletes had reached first. But when a hit would have meant a run, Jacobs was master of the situation except in the round, which already has bean related. Southpaw Bill Sherdel went to the Mil in the seventh and blanked the (Hants in two rounds. Then Casey Tuero, who has this season appeared in 41 frames for the Cardinals, hurled the final Inning.

One hit was made off him. Goodwla ritofc Today. Marvin Goodwin, who has won his last two starts, is scheduled to face the Giants in the final game of the series today. It will be the final appearance of the MrGrawmen here this season. Jess Barnes is down to fling for the second placers, who rained half a lap on the Reds yesterday.

i Smt InfleMer Report. Palter Kimmick, semipro inflelder from Pittsburg, reported to the Cardinals yesterday and broke into the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth, when he went up for Sherdel. He popped, to Fletcher. Before the game lie worked out at shortstop and showed up in good style. Stats Haa a Baay Day.

Arnold Statz, the Holy Cross recruit, who is playing right field for McGraw with Ross Young injured, had a busy day yesterday, catching eight flies. He turned the feature play of the game, when he ran Dron right center all the way across the foul line for Larvan's foul in the eighth. Nehf Was Too Good ST. LOCI3. NEW YORK.
