PHILLIES OWE
. MUCH TO DOOIN
FOR HIS WORK
Auburn-haired Leader Has
Wrought Well Despit Re
verses and Should Not Be
Allowed to Go to Braves.
Aslilo from the nil-Important question as
to which cluli will win the National
Xvnguo pennant, the mnln Idea In tho
minds of fntuloin Is to favor Chat Icy
l"ooin. l-'llghty rumor has It, but from
what nuthoilty no one can tram, that
Dooln Is playing and managing his last
pcason at tiroad and Huntingdon streets.
If that Is so It will op sad new.
DtfMn has never won a pennant for tho
liillllos, but ho Is a good lender, and with
the material which he had this season,
no olio could have dono bettor, Tho fact
that his club was shot to smithereens by
tho Federal League H alon responsible
lor Doolti'e club dropping from second
placo to second dUlslon In the space, of
ono short epason.
Had tho Phllly leader been able to liold
Mtko Doolan he would probably be In
the running now. The numoroti and neo
cssary switches u the shorttleld position
oautod the Phillies to drop gome- which
photild hao been added to their string
of victories. Turtlier. If Senton had been
liere, tho rhlllles would probably be so
near the top that they would bo figurine
on how they could most enjoy their
world's scries coin. As for tho other loss
es, they matter little In tho final out
come Bven with all tho breaks of the gamo
going ngalnst him at every turn, Charley
Dooln has stood up splendidly under the
grilling. He has caught far moro Karnes
than a manager should, because he be
lieved that Ills presence behind the bat
would be of value to his club. And It was.
Charley was In the ltne-up. and the
power of the team's play was Increased
far moro than his mer" catching would
have Justified. It wan tho personality of
Dooln on the Held which helped and
which kept the club up as high a It Is
today.

NHV YOltTC, Sept. 15,-Accordlng to the
Braves' followers here, the Athletics are

DICK RUDOLPH
Along with Tyler and James, Rudolph has been carrying the pitching burden of the Boston Braves in their
mad rush for the National League pennant. The trio has won 59 games and lost 28. Of these Rudolph has captured,
including yesterday's game, 21 affairs and has been credi cd with 11 defeats, most of which were sustained during
the early stages of the race, when the Braves were adorn ng the bottom of the ladder. There are only three p.tchers
in the National League who have a better pitching average than Rudolph; his teammate, James, who is leading, and
Doak, of St. Louis, and Tesreau, of the Giants. At present Mathewson and Rudolph are tied. The pitching prowess
of Dick Rudolph was shown yesterday, when he won out despite the seven errors made behind him.

In the season of 1313 Walter Johnson
was credited with the Iocs of five gamei.
With nearly another month to go beforu
tho 1911 campaign closes, the hpeed king
has dropped 17 contests. Has Johnson
lost hts speed? Has he lost the an of
putting the Jump on tho ball? Tho play.
er say not. What then Is the matter?
Control and a deadly fear of killing
batsman.
Any mnn with Johnson's control can
prevent hitting a batsman If he chooses.
I Johnson does choose, and w hat Is more
to the point, the batters know it. it was
' during the early stages of the present
' roco that the tlrst stories of Johnson's
foar of hitting batters were published.
These articles, printed b practically
every newspaper in the country, contained
the statement of tho Washington hurlr
that he would quit baseball forever lr lie
should kill a man with a pitched ball.
This, naturally, pave tho batters con.
Mdenco, for there la 110 doubt that John'
, bon's effectiveness was due. to n. large
' extent, to the fact that the nouiM
hitiero pulled away from the plate, ami
I In so dolus Ion their toe hold, aa It were.
! Now tue majority of batters in the
American league know that Jolmsoti is
not g"lng to attempt to ue the "bean
ball" on them. and. furthermore, that his
control U so wonderful that tho chances
1 for jelng hit are small.
That this fear of being hit is .1 matter
' which affects batters to a very large ex,
tent is shown time and again, especially
in the early spring Let a manager send
, In a youngster who has a fair amount of
sp-ed. but who possesses the usual wild
nejs of the untrained performer. A
major league club will be held to 11 mini
mum number of hits by such a pitcher.
It is for this same reason that many of
the pitchers In both the American and
National leagues use thti "bean-ball."
They want to intimidate the batters and
often they do.
Clark GrltnUi lias Instructed his pitcher?,
so it ls said, to uend one or more balls
straight for Frank Bakers htad every
time he goes to the bat And they aie
said to do It, with the exception of John

Before a house which was crowded to
the doors with fans, Kid Williams, of
Baltimore, bantamweight champion of the
world, defeated Louisiana, of this city.
In every ono of the six rounds, at the'
Olympia Club lust night. It was a slow
contest.
Both men weighed In under ilti pounds
at 10 o'clock, stepping on the scales at
the ringside In the prestnee of the spec
tators. William stalled oft as mad and
after a minute of the first round' had
elapsed he tllpptd Louisiana on the Jaw
and sent the latter to his knees
Williams was the aggressor n the
fcccond and third rounds, and had
LoulMana holding. In the third Louisiana
met Williams as th latter rushed and
staggered the champion with a hard rleht
but Williams countered with rights and
lefts and both were lighting like wild
men at the bell. The fourth and fifth
sessions were ull Williams, us was tl.,'
sixth, all but a few moments at the start
when Louisiana made a rally and hii
Williams retreat.ng. but. It Was only a
flash, and Louisiana was soon holding
again. Both nnlshed strong. ""ng
