PHILLIES' RATTLING ATTACK
REVELATION TO BALL FANS
Hard Hitting, Daring Base Running and Heady Plays Mark New
Style of National Leaguers Outgamed Braves Bancroft's
Fielding a Feature Boldness of Killcfer's Bunt.
Manager Moran's Phillies yesterday convinced 20,000 fans that the six
Mralght Vfctories over the Braves and Giants were not nukes. They did It all
over again, and handtly. The- game yesterday was not very well played In the
field, but was remarkable because of the things tho Phillies revealed. In tho way
of attack. '
For five or six year's the Phillies have possessed a hard-hitting Jcam, but
one whjch was slow' afoot and Inclined to hesitate on the bases. This weakness
always had held the team back, and It was difficult for tho fans to believe that
Juat a. -few additions to the team could make puch a difference.
Players like Luderus, Cravath and Klllefer, who have been chlded for their
Blow moving on tho paths, amazed the fans by taking an extra base on every
throw and completely bewildering tho Braves' infield, which Is known as one of
the best In the major leagues. Clever baso running naturally would be expected
of Bancroft, Whltted, Paskert, Nclhoff and Byrne, although tho latter two are
by no means fast, but such work aa that shown by Luderus, Klllefer and
Cravath was a revelation.
The Phillies Show Wonderful Attack
The fans cannot recall seeing a local National League team with such an
aggressive and versatile attack. The usual Btyle of play by the Phillies In the
past has consisted of hitting the ball and waiting to be moved.
. As soon as a man reached first baso yesterday ho started for second. Tho
batsmen protected the runner In great fashion. If tho man had a good lead he
was permitted to steal, with the batter Interfering with Gowdy In every manner
possible without breaking tho rule covering this point, whllo a hit-and-run play
was used when tho runner could not get off to a start.
Every trick known In offensive baseball was used. Inllelders were worried
by halting base runners Just when It seemed as though an easy out would tesult.
Killcfer's Bunt Surprise of Day
KUlefcr's perfect bunt, with two men out and Luderus on third, was a sample
of the unexpected baseball pulled by Moran's team. It was absolutely the last
thing the rattled Braves' infield wero looking for, and Hess became so excited
that ho threw the ball fully 30 feet in the air over Schmidt's head In a hopeless
attempt to catch the Phllly catcher.
The fans were simply amazed by the feats performed by Moran's men.
The same comment was heard that often followed the same Bort of a victory by
tho Braves last season. "Were they lucky?" was the question asked by thou
sands. There is no doubt of the fact that the Braves played poor baseball, but
to say that the Phillies were lucky Is an injustice. They simply forced tho breaks
and completely rattled and outgamed a team that has been called the gamest that
baseball ever saw.
Phillies Have Off-day in the Field
' In the field tho Phillies did not show so well, and made a game that should
have been easy for Alexander a hard one to win. Every run scored by the Braves
was due to a misplay. Paskert's poor Judgment permitted Schmidt's single to
so for a triple, and he scored on a sacrifice fly. Byrne's error was made on an
easy chance that would have retired the side In the fifth Inning. Hess and Moran
followed with two base hits and two runs were scored. Again, In the eighth, an
error permitted the Braves to tally when Cravath dropped an easy fly with
two men out.
Though these errors were on easy chances and allowed runs to tally, they
were somewhat excusable, as all were made through the anxiety of the player.
TJiese two errors of commission, and one of omission by Paskert, were the only
misplays of the day, while several pieces of brilliant fielding more than atoned
for these breaks.
I '
Bancroft's Stop Feature of Game
A wonderful stop by Bancroft of a hard drive was easily the feature fielding
play. Bancroft made this play on Sherwood Magee and robbed the ex-Phllly
outfielder of a hit. The ball went like a rifle shot, straight over second, but
Bancroft, by a wonderful effort, scooped It up with both hands and made a
regular Mike Doolan throw to Luderus. Magee and the spectators were amazed.
Had he scooped the ball up with one hand, the amazement would not have been
so great, but his feat in getting both hands on the ball is a little beyond those"
who have not seen much of the little fellow.
Boost for Phillies; Jolt for Giants and Braves.
The victory meant much to the Phillies, as the Giants wero beaten by
Brooklyn. It Is early to be watching the scoreboard of the team considered the
most dangerous contender asldo frbm tho champions, but every game the Giants
and Braves lose will add that much confidence to the play of the home team.
Today Is a day of glory for Manager Morun, but he realizes that his hardest test
has not arrived. This test will be in keeping the Phillies on tho ground floor.
Overconfldence is as bad, If not worse, than lack of confidence, and several other
Phllly teams have developed that to such an extent that an excellent chance for
a pennant was tossed away. The owners and fans, however, have great con
fidence In the level-headed Moran and aro convinced that such a barrier will not
be placed in the road of the club's chances for future success.
Not Superstition; Common Sense
For 33 years the Phillies used the players' bench on the left side of
the Held until yesterday. When the spectators arrived and saw the Phils
on the right side of the field they were puzzled, and most of them believed
that Moran was superstitious; but there was method In Moran's madness.
Sitting on the bench on the left side of the field, with the centre of attrac
tion always the pitcher, the men are constantly staring into a background
of mixed colors from the signs on the fence. Manager Moran believes that
this Is not good for the batting eyes, hence the change for a background
of green and black, which is expected to help the hitting.
Phillies Have New Spirit of Hustle
A striking illustration of the spirit of the rejuvenated Phils was shown
on a little slow roller from Gowdy's bat in the ninth Inning. The ball rolled
down the foul line, first inside and then out. When Byrne, Alexander and
.Klllefer reached the line the ball was In foul territory. Had the ball rolled
back Into fair territory there would have been no chance to catch Gowdy.
All three players dived for the ball to touch it In foul territory and thereby
make it a foul. Alexander escaped the bump, but Klllefer and Byrne were
both Bhaken up and knocked to the ground In the collision. It was Just
a little incident, but it illustrated the hustling spirit of the team.
It is a pleasure to watch Alexander pitch. A more confident and daring
performer has never been Been on a locul ball field. Many times during the
opening game the big Nebraskan used curve balls with three and two on
the batsmen, and twice with Magee up he was curving them with the count
three and one, in preference to giving the slugger a fast ball. "Alex" got
away with it every time, and so great was his control that not a man was
passed during the game except Magee, who was Intentionally passed in
the eighth inning.
A number of persons were heard to say the Phillies used the squeeze
play in the eighth inning, when Klllefer bunted with Luderus on third, but
that was not the case. There were two men out at the time, and the squeeze
cannot be worked with two out, as the object of the play Is for the batter
to sacrifice himself when he sees that the runner from third may score, If
the batter manages to hit the ball on the ground in fair territory. Killefer'a
play yesterday was merely a bunt-and-run play, made famous by the old
Baltimore Orioles In the nineties,
Baseball Magnates Now Ignore Players
During the winter months the Players' Fraternity was treated so well
by the powers that be in Organized Ball that it looked for a time as
though the chances of future trouble between the players and magnates were
fcllm. But since the season is under way and most of the players have been
tied tq long-term contracts the magnates' attitude has changed.
There ia but little doubt that the National Commission is sidestepping
tha issue with the Players' Fraternity. The decision of the commission on
several of the request of the players proves conclusively that but little is
to be gained by the, players through appeal to this body at this time.
When the players were not lined up with long-term contracts. President
FulU had little trouble in getting recognition, aa tha magnates feared that
the. Fraternity might recognize the Federal League; but now that they are
apparently out of the woods, Fuitz Is Ignored. President Fultz. is likely to
have a few things to say In the near future, and a. Btorm may brew that will
'tfrpasa even that of the clash between the players and magnates in 1913.

EVENING LEDGER MOVIES THEY ARE THERE
. .-.-. .,..i. .V'. ,- ' .,, 4,. ' '.., v V .
BANCROFT MADE A SENSATIONAL STOP AND THROW OF MAGEE'S SIZZLER
TANNIjipWD
No man can look.-at a ball club in
April and say just what sort of a ma
chine it will be In July how many of Its
men will he Injured how "iuch bail luck
It will have or how It will meet tough
luck and be keen on hustling against the
rugged blows of old Doc Advcrsltj.
But If early form and early spirit are
to be considered a worthy llval has
come at last to give the Braves a royal
battle down the summer trail
Another Upset
No, it isn't the Giants who were picked
by many to come back. It Isn't the Cubs,
of whom many kind words were dellicied
with eloquence. It isn't the Caidlnals,
who made such a rare uphill tight lust
year.
The Standing of the Clubs furnished
the answer. Pat .Moran was supposed to
have a Joke machine. But a rare thing
has huppened. By losing sex en men, sup
posed to be stars, the Phillies aic
stronger today than they have ever
been stronger in morals and better look
ing on the field.
Of the Future
Of the future In this bizarre and fickle
sport no man may speak beond a guess.
Can the Phillies hold up" Not without
luck In the way of a paucity of Injuries.
With this fortune there Is no reason why
they shouldn't. Klllefer la catching fine
ball. Alexander Is the ruling twlrler of
hi3 league, ably supported so far by May
er, Chalmers and Demaree.
Tho infield Is no wonder, but It Is work
ing steadily, reinforced by a Mr. Ban
croft at short, who looks to be another
Maranville. This debutante is a bird of
exceeding rare plumage. He Is one of tho
great finds of the game or April dope
fades quicker than April blossoms.
And In the outfield Cravath, Whltted,
Becker and Paskert are championship cal
ibre, for Cravath alone Is equal to any
two average outfield fuslleers.
And So It Goes
The Phillies permitted their stars to
Jump where they listed. "Suit yourself,"
was the reply to each Federal League
threat. So Knabe. Doolan and Seaton
left, while Magee, Lobert and Dooln had
to be traded. McQraw, on the other wing,
fought back Fed encroachments by sign
ing his men for long-term contracts.
The Phillies apparently stood still and
permitted their club to be wrecked and
looted. The Giants paid out vast shoals
of kale to protect their property. And
once again the Standing of the Clubs
shows quite eloquently how the two
schemes worked out.
Phillies vs. Braves
Unless another upset occurs, It Is dif
ficult to figure how the Phillies can hope
to outlast the Braves.
Stalllngs Is too much stronger In the
box and around the Infield. Man for man,
the Braves look better In at least six
of the nine official spots. And they have
already shown that they can absorb tha
worst that Fate has to offer and still
swarm back to the assault with unfalter
ing courage. Which Is quite a chunk of
it, whatever tho bally game.
April and August
We have seen a number of ball clubs
rise up in April and May with the cham
pionship aspect.
But August Is another month and only
those clubs, as a general rule, can hold
out that get the pitching. Strong pltchlny
only can hold a slipping club together,
Minus this only a great machine in other
ways can stay put, and there are no great
machines In either league this season of
the old Cub of Mncklan type.
Stray Shots
Two miracle achievements Fanning Ty
rus and keeping T It. oft the front page.
"Time and tide." they say, "wait for no
man." But Teddy and Tyrus don't even
wait for Timo and Tide.
ADD NEW MULOD1ES.
Thr only tunr that Cobb can play
Cobb and Crawjord and Ycach
Is "Over their hearts and Jar away
Out oj the fieldeis' reach."
Whv all this adulation? As we flounder
to press tlie trio named above is only bat
ting slightly above .500 for a general aver
age. They rarely ever drive In above five
or sK tallies per afternoon. Rarely ever.
In the hazy Interim Mr. Welsh Is Keep
ing quiet and only collecting about $:M0 a
week here and there through the Middle
West. Hardly a cent more, blast the rot
ten luckl
About the only thing Ihe National Com
mission Is now willing to grant the Play
ers' Fraternity Is permission to select the
deepest spot in the Atlantic Ocean and
dive for the bottom.

to develop him as a heavyweight boxer,
a check for $1250 aB compensation for
the Chlcagoan's services. Cutler obtain

TODAY, CLARISSA, THE
TINIEST GOLF COURSE
IN QUEEN LANE MANOR
Only Three Acres in Links, But
Enthusiasts Expect Great
Play To Form Club.
A mlnlatuie golf club will be organized
tomoirow night to go with a miniature
course which has Just been completed in
Queen Lane Slnnor and is believed to be
the smallest thing In the way of golf
links In tho country. Queen Lane Manor
Is a suburb to the west of Gennantown,
and tho new green In tho section also will
bo notable because of the fact that part
of It will be on the sito of the battle of
Germnntown.
Ttetildcnts of the suburb, which has
many fashionable householders, nre dev
otees of the Scotch game in spite of tho
fact that their new links arc less than
three acres in extent, and tho putting
greens are one-tenth regulation size. Long
drives will be Impossible, and most of the
play will bo with light clubs, but Benja
min Hawley, 3010 Mldvale avenue, who
proposed tho pocket-edltlou green. Is the
"man of the hour." say the Manorltes.
Professional golfers who laid out the
links right In the centre of the manor say
that It will be difficult even for the most
seasoned golfer to round tho nine holes
In less than 27. Hazards had to be manu
factured, but the bunkers and "traps" aro
so cleverly devised that "sllccrs" will
have to use as great a care on their
temper as they would foozling on a man's
size green.
The shortest distance between holes Is
23 yards and tho longest drive must bo
restrained to a 73-yard trap. Tho new
club will have about 60 members and the
meeting for organization tomorrow eve
ning will be In an old tenant house on the
property which was formerly occupied by
dependents of the historic Carlton family.
i:dwln I. Atlee Is president of the new
club; n. H. Fitch, vice president, and
John M. Wood, secretary and treasurer.
The official name of the club Is the
"Queen Lane Manor Golf Club."

In the second round of the wind-up.
The termination of tho contest was
decidedly sensational and proved that
Heffernan Jdst now Is one of the most
dangerous fighters In the welterweight

he could hit hard from any angle and
with cither hand.

ENDOFO.B.-FEDERAL
BASEBALL WAR NEAR
Outlaw and National League
Clubs May Amalgamate and
Peace Wil) Reign Is Rumor.
CHICAGO, April 23. Chicago was afloat
today on a sea of rumors regarding pos
sible peaco In tho Fcderal-Organlzed-Baseball
war. Tho rumors were no whit
easier traceable to their lair than are
lumors of peace In Europe, but, on the
theory that where there's so much gum
shoe work there must bo several persons
with a secret, here's the dope on tho
latest ciy of "nuff." among baseball mag
nates. About three hours before the Sox and
Biowns opened at the Sox park yester
day, Phil Ball, of tho St. Louis Federals,
dashed Into Chicago, After a long con
ference with President Gilmore, of the
Federal League, Ball, In company with
his attorney, went into conference with
Ban B. Johnson, president of tho Ameri
can League, and Judge George H. Will
lams, of St. Louis. Judge Williams, co
Incldentally nrrlved In Chicago from St.
Louis with Robert L. Hedges about the
same time Bnll did.
After the R.ill-Glhnoro conference thcro
wero long distance telephone parleys with
W. E. liobeltsoii. of HulTalo, and George
B. Watd, of tho Brooklyn Federals, from
Gllmore's headquarters. These phone
talks were going on while Phil Ball was
at Ban Johnson's office. Ball, by the
way, went with Johnson nnd other O. B.
ofllclals to tho White Sox opening In
Johnson's automobile.
Early today the magnates refused ab
solutely to talk for publication. Tho
pure dope on tho situation, however, was
that the following developments might
lesult fiom a possible treaty of peace:
Tho St. Louis Federals nnd the
Caidlnals to amalgamate, Phil Ball to be
come the owner.
Amalgamation of the Chicago Federals

Club, received word from London heto
yesterday that J. H. Taylor and Gcoigo
Duncan hao decided to como to America
and compete In the national open golf
championship tournament at Baltusrol in
June.
lleretofoie there have been rumors of
theso players coming, though nothing doll
nite. Taylor, who .has held the open title
abroad several times, cams to this coun
try about II years ago and finished second
to Harry Vardon In the United States Golf
Association open championship. Duncan
also was In this country a few seasons
ago.
Although never a champion Duncan has
long been recognized as ono of the leading
