PHILS AND
ATHLETICS' PITCHING STAFF
BIG SURPRISE TO THE FANS
Bush and Wyckoff Show Remarkable Form in Games
With Phillies King Kopf Due to Play Third
and Oldring His Old Place in Outfit.
Tho Phillies lost yesterday In their hattlo with llio Athtctlcn larsety because
of orto J. 'Weldon Wychoff. Ho wns nldcd nnd nbetted by divers nnd sundry errors
on the part of certain members of tho Moran coterie. Nelhoff, Luderus and Hums
contributed to tho mistakes of the day. nut to Wyckoff goes the credit of tho
Macklnn victory.
When a ball team makes seven hits without the approach of n score It
means either poor base running or' boo'1 pitching by tho opposing faction. Tho
Phillies are not poor base runners. It was tho superb work of Wyckoff that
held the sluggers at bav nnd kent down tho score. Wyckoff struck out tho
uest of them when tho bases were occupied, then eased up when It was not
necessary to work. Those are the tactics that made Christy Jtathewson some
what of a nguro In tho pitching line.
With Wyckoffs showing yesterday and the work of Hush In the opening
game It does not nppcar that tho oft-repeated assertion that "Connlo Mack
haB no pitchers" Is well founded. There 1b little room for Improvement on tho
Work of theso two slab artists Then It must bo recalled that Itubo Hrcssler
nnd Herb Pennock nro still on tho Mack roster, nnd they have shown great
ability so far this Benson. In addition thcro Is Shawkey, who probably In
Mack's moat consistent near-veteran. Flvo such pitchers will drlvo tho Ath
letics a long way pennantward
Oldring Will Go Back to Outfield.
The fans hao been In doubt as to whether or not fluba Otdrlng would bo
a fixture at tho third sack for tho Athletics, nnd much apprehension has been
manifested nbout the far corner.
Manager Mack said yesterday that King Kopf, utility Inflclder of last year,
would tako Oldrlng's placo as soon as ho has) sufficiently recovered from nn Illness.
Oldring will go back to his old placo In left field. Tho "Itubo" will bo moro
at home In his regular position. In tho spring season series Otdrlng has dem
onstrated that he Is no Inflclder. His throws to first aro cither too strong
or too short. Oldrlng's nrm Is nil O. K., but his range on Stuffy Mclnnls Is
all wrong.
That Mack has confidence In Pitcher W. Davis was proved yesterday by
his nssertionof Davis' ability. Tho Athletics' leader declared Davis would mako
n big league pitcher before majiy moons. Mnck found tho recruit playing ball
In Virginia nnd nt onco paw ,hls talent. Mack Insists ho will hold on to tho
pitcher for further development. Davis' Initial appeal ance ngalnst a big league
club was In tho second gume of the scries. Tho lonkv Virginian had nbundanco
of speed, but no control. But he may prove nnothcr Bender.
I'cnn Hitting a Glcnm of Hope
Pennsylvania's baseball team looked better In Its game against Cornell yes
terday than Its followers had dared to hope There wan the usual amount of
looso playing always In evidence In collcgo teams, but tho, ,vtYen' gave more promise
of developing Into heavy hitters. If their promise in, this respect materializes, It
will go a long way toward overcoming what Is now their greatest handicap, tho
lack of good pitchers. One good twlrlcr of tho' callbro of Sayro, of last year's
team, would tnko the Tied nnd Blue victorious through most of Its championship
games. .
Discussing the pitchers, SrJelman gave tho best exhibition of twirling that
has been seen this ear. lie An a head', rather than n brilliant pitcher. He kept
his hits well scattered, arrtV fielded his position In capital Btyle.
It is too early, An pass Judgment on the Cornell team. Tho lthacans have
ended a disastrous Raster vacation trip. Of the seven games plaed they have
won but one, Tiough acvetnl were lost by
team ivvna .-undoubtedly suffering from a
of jjateran players and has a pitching
East.

Lines to J. Willard
Columbus paddled the briny deep
Until a new land was found;
Doc Newton pi oved that un apple dropped
Quite frequently hit the ground:
But they woe pikers fucartialc .rsj,
fliish leaguers out on a blight.
Compared to you, tvho havo gone and
proved
That a White Hope knew how to fight.
Bhaleapeare proved that the drama's toays
Were bioader than most men Knew;
The Wrights well piovcd that a man can
fly
And hammered the dope askew;
But they toere bustiers and pikers, Jess,
Far blown from the crowning height,
Compared to you, who have gone and
proved
That a White Hope knew how to fight.
Mr. Jeffries got around $200,000 for
being knocked out by Johnson, while Mr.
Wlllard got less than i 10,000 for knocking
Johnson out. But Mr. Jeffries' Income
suddenly censed at that moment, while
Mr. Willard's Is just beginning to bulge
out at the sides.
The Champ and the ChallcnRer
Dear Sir. Was Johnson compelled to
light Wlllard? Could he have refused to
fight any one and held his championship
title until his death? Or could ho havo
been forced to tight or defnult after a
reasonable length of time?
CHARLES E W.
A champion is supposed to defend his
title after a reasonable wait or else de
fault We've never heard of any who
refused to do either not ns long as there
was tho possibility of stumbling within
range of the fragrant odor of a champion
ship ptjrse.
Grandold Sapulpa
Not forgetting Grandold Sapulpa, Okla.,
the birthplace of the anti-Johnson cam
cairn. It was Carl Morris, of Sapulpa,
who launched the Whlto Hopo furore,
and it was to Sapulpa that Wlllard came
for his first training and his opening
fight,
Sapulpa, therefore, to the retrieved and
reinstated white race should be to tho
Caucasian what Mecca once was to the
devout Turk.
Austria, yearning to sue for peace. Is at
last cognizant of the old maxim that
"Enough Is at all times sufficient and
sometimes too much."
The Homecoming of Wild Bill
I1II1 Donovan was Involved In three pen
nant winners with Detroit. He led the
Providence club to tho top. And now at
laBt he Is back home with a club that
shattered the fame of Griffith, Stalllngs,
Chase. Wolverton and Frank Chanco in
turn.
What show has Wild Dill of the redo
lent smile to lift the Yank embargo and
carry hla clan Into the rut? We haven't
any idea, to be frank about It, so far as
1313 is concerned, for tiill merely riook
charge of what was given him back In
February But It la our belief that he
baa the knack and the philosophy at hand
tn develop better days and that by June
- the Yanks, even tn the second division,
vvtll no longer be a byword and a delu
ion. The Start and Finish
Oulmet started out with a defeat this
jiprlng, but In 1913 and 1911 he began the
arcar milium nny jjuruic-iinieu uuunsn.
