We are all sure that he 1 going In the play-off series and for his men ho Is going to fly the world pennant. "At any rate, we hope so. Hope It because he ha been faithful to good old Augusta, the town of his barefoot days and to his chums and companions of the knk'kerbocker period. "And 1 may as well wind it up by Informing Colonel Stalling that It Is not so long since he caused the near tlrlng of an entire newspaper staff. "It was when he came through Au gusta with the New York Americans and left Colonel Hal Chase behind at Lamar Hospital pickled with small pox. "gtallings got us all together. It would be awful, from a financial standpoint, on him, if It got out that Chase had the contagion. Wouldn't we suppress It. "We wctb devoted to Stalling and! yielded to him, kept mum on Chase's ailment. But our reckoning was wrong. We did not lake the "Rig Noise" Into our confidence and he knew nothing of it that we were 'kill ing' Chase's smallpox. "Two days later the story got on the Associated Press wires from Washing ton, IX C, and the row that was raised In The Chronicle office because we, 'who were paid to secure news ' had Jumped in "to shut off news.' was a caution. I think the chief is still Holding In obeynnce his decision to discharge the entire crowd of us for 'missing' the item, though, in person nel, the staff has changed over and over again since that time. "1 know Hal Chase well know the sound of his voice though I have never seen him. Iluring the weeks that he was In the detention hospital therewas not an evening that he did not telephone The Chronicle office: " 'Be a good fellow now, and tell me every item of baseball news and gossip you have in over the wires toniftht.' "Here Is good luck to the Boston Braves, and to George T.

RALPH WORKS SIGNS WITH CHICAGO CUBS True to his expectations when he left Ashevllle Just before the close of the North Carolina loauue season, Ralph Works, who was lot out by tho Mountaineer management, has been signed by the Chicago Cubs. It Is not probable that Works will pitch for the Cubs this season but will take cure of himself during tho winter and attempt to K(,t Into trim during the spring. This wu hts idea when he left Ashcvillp and many local fans will be pulling for the ex-Mountaineer to make Rood In the big ring again. The following dispatch from Chlcngo makes the announcement: "CH1CAHO, Sept. 2. Two more Pitchers have been added to the Cub Muff, one a youngster from the coast, the other a former Tiger htirler, who now Is a free agent. Pete 8tandridg Is the conRt boy.

NEW VORK, Sept. 2" Boston worked into a safe lead for the Na tional league pennant last week and nothing but a baseball miracle can heat the Braves out of the flag. Sweep ing the six-day period with a record of eight vlctolrles aid one deefat. fallings' mea established a margin of eight and a half games over the Nt-w York's who were awamped by Chicago and Bt. Louis. Tne Bnjee have eleven more games to piay and need to win only three more to clinch the cham pionship even should the Giants win all their remaining eleven games. McGraw's men are belng pushed hard by gt. Louis, two games in the rear. Chicago also ha an excellent chance to pass the drooping cham pions if the Polo grounders do not im prove their play. Brooklyn and -Phil-adelphla are fighting It out'for fifth place. Pittsburgh seems anchored in I seventh, with Cincinnati hopelessly last. In the American league, the Bos ton's have lost About their last chanc for the flag and the Philadelphia's ar iwltbln short sight of establishing their right to the 1914 championahlp of the league to a mathematical certainty- Detroit and Washington are bidding for third place, while Chicago, New Tork and St. touts are struggling for the modest honor of topping the sec ond division. Within the coming week, In all pro bability, fhe result in both the major leagues wit be finally established and definite arrangements for the world's series, to start on October 9, may be begun. The close of the American Associa tion's race today marked the end of another tight battle for the pennant In President Chivington's league. Not until yesterday waa Milwaukee defi nitely known as the winner, Louisville right up to aturday being a contend er. In the Federal league, Chicago again attained first place, the routing of Indianapolis at the hands of Balti more toppling the Hoofed's and put ting the Terrapins Into the running once more.
