PHILLIES FEAST ON SOUTHPAWS,
HUT ENEMY HAS FOUND IT OUT
Record of Recent Campaigns Shoius Rival Managers Chary
About Using Left-handers Jack Coombs' Nerve, Brain
j( . and Control Save Him From Defeat.
Another National Leaguo mnnngcr hns decided Hint tho Phillies will face
no eoutltpaw pitching so long ns tho right-handers of his staff aro In fit
shape. Wllbcrt Itoblnson, pilot of tho Dodgers, was ashed yesterday, if ho
would send Italelgh Altchlson, his star left-hander, against the Phils, and
he replied: "No morn southpaws against that club. They seem to have
eouthpaws beaten beforo tho game starts."
Itoblnson Is only dropping In Uno with the rest of the National LeaRUo
managers. Roger Uresnahan was the first In recent years to discover that
tho Phillies slaughtered southpaws. Bresnalmn had "Slim" Salleo going at
his best for tho Cardinals In 1011, but every time tho 1'lilltles camo along
Baleo was knocked out of the box. After that Uresnahan kept southpaws
away from the Phils. When Hugglns succeeded Uresnahan ho followed his
predecessor's policy, and In the last threo years Salleo has started but two
panics against tho Phillies. Ho has been used to finish up many games, but
always has poor success.
McGraw's Experience With Mtirqunrd
Two ot tho best southpaws In tho game, Rube Marquard and Nap Itucker,
havo been easy for threo years. Mnrquard occasionally pitches a strong
gamo against tho local team, but theso good exhibitions are few and far
between. Manager McQraw has evidently learned his lesson also and In
tho opening sorles did not uso Marquard, dcsplto tho fact that he had shut
out Brooklyn without a hit during tho provlous scries.
Even whon Georgo Tyler was at his best last season, Gcorgo Stalllngs
ewltched his pitchers so that Tyler was not used against Dooln's team dur
ing tho last half of tho season but once, and on that occasion ho was driven
from tho box. This season he started Strand, but that was more of an ex
periment than anything else, becauso Ills staff was in bad shape.
Benton, the One Exception Against Phils
Tho only left-hander In tho leaguo who has had any degrco of Buccess
against tho Phillies in tho last threo seasons has been Rubo Benton, of Cin
cinnati, and Hcrzog has stated that ho always switched his pitchers so that
Benton could work twice In tho series beforo ho comes here, unless Boston
happens to bo tho team played beforo tho Phillies. Herzog believes that tho
Braves and Phillies can beat a left-hander any time with breaks of luck
running oven.
Chicago has Jim Vaughn as Its kingpin southpaw, nnd tho peculiar' work
on Vaughn's side-arm fast ball makes him Just as cffectlvo against right
handed hitters as against thoso who hit from tho other sldo of tho plato,
yet ho has not been ablo to get an oven break with tho Phillies. Pittsburgh
has no southpaw to speak of. Young Kanthlnor should develop, but has not
troubled tho Phils yet.
Record of Batters Who Have Slaughtered Southpaws
It is a peculiar freak of the game, and it seems as though southpaws
havo been easy for tho Phillies as far back as tho oldest fan can remember,
except for a fow Beasons in tho early days of tho American League, when
nny pitcher could trim tho local team. Slnco Ed Delehanty and Lajolo wero
In tho Phillies' batting order, southpaws have been forced to faco threo or
four right-handod hitters who Just killed southpaws, and they invariably
broke up tho game.
Aftor Delehanty and Lajolo Jumped to tho American Leaguo tho Phils
had no clcan-up hitters for threo years, but then along camo Mageo and
Kitty Bransfleld; and then Mngec, Lobert, Paskort and Cravath, great hit
ters against southpaws. Now Moran has Ave men who fatten their averages
on southpaws. They aro Byrne, Paskert, Nlehoff, Whltted and Cravath, to
eay nothing of Klllefer, who frequently pole3 out long drives.
Giants Speedily Convinced of Their Folly
As predicted, tho New York National League Club will return Benny
Kauff to the Brooklyn Feds. Tho announcement was made that Presldont
Hempstead, of tho Giants, would do this just as soon as Robert B. "Ward,
president of tho Brooklyn Federal Leaguo Club, would produco Kauffs
contract.
This will bo an easy matter, according to Mr. Ward, and tho Incident
will bo closed. President Tener stated after tho meeting of flvo of tho Na
tional Leaguo magnates that it was a peaceful session, but there are some
Who havo their doubts.
Tho New York Club's action has endangered tho peace arrangements
which wero progressing, and It Is thought that tho New York Club was so
verely reprimanded for making such a move unknown to the rest of tho
leaguo and tho National Commission. It has been said that the whole league
was aware of what tho Giants wore doing, but this is not borne out by tho
speedy decision of president Tener and tho sudden switching of Mr. Hemp
stead's manner from bravado to contrition.
Coomba Won, But He Is Not Coombs of Old
Jack Coombs exhibition In the final gamo against the Phillies hero was a
great surprise and a pleasant one, for tho larger part of tho crowd were pulling
for the old-time "Iron man" to show his old-tlmo form. Coombs won, and
deserved to win, but at that his work was not the sort to convince those
present that his "come back" was to bo a lasting one. Coombs' headwork was
a treat, but control was his greatest asset.
Five Phllly players were walked, but this was not duo so much to lack of
control as to Coombs' policy of working each batsman to tho limit. Unless a
Phllly player was willing to bo pulled on a bad ball, Coombs generally worked
on him until tho count stood three balls and two strikes. It Is no exaggera
tion to say that not more than a half dozen balls pitched by Coombs during
the game cut tho centre of tho plate. Ho was working tho corners in a rare
fashion. First insldo, then out or high and then low. That was Coombs' sys
tem, and It was a good one.
A Pitcher's Nervo, Head nnd Control
When Coomb3 was In his prime ho was ono of the speediest pitchers in the
country, but now he has little of that speed. Rucker and others havo gone
along for a year or two on control and head, but the end is always in sight
when that Epeed disappears.
Philadelphia fans hope that Coombs can show many moro flashes such as
that of yesterday, particularly against the Braves and Giants, But the fans
should not becomo too hopeful and start "panning" Manager Mack Just be
cause Coombs won one game.
Cravath's hitting against Coombs was most disappointing. He had men on
,base threo of the four times. Ho batted, but aside from walking once ho did
nothing. A man cannot be expected to hit all the time, and Cravath Is merely
In a slump. Tho mighty slugger's baBO hits aro badly needed now, and it is
to be hoped that he will start soon.
Coojnbs' pitching looked to be Just tho kind Cravath likes, but ho wont
after bad balls all afternoon, and could not even get ono out of tho Infield.
Youngster Loses Game at Critical Point
Between the failure of the heavy artillery to hit with men on the bases and
the beautiful fielding of Schultz, the Dodgeis' third baseman, the Phillies had
little chance until they staged a ninth-Inning rally. This rally was cut short
Just when it seemed the Phillies had a fine chance to win out. Young Weiser,
a pinch runner, was caught sound asleep off second base. Two men were out at
the time, and the blunder ended the game.
- In placing the blame it should be remembered that two veterans, one of
whom was Manager Moran, were on the coaching lines, and were Just as much
to blame as Weiser, who should not have been sent in with a clever base
runner like Stock sitting on the bench. There may havo been many reasons
Why Manager Moran selected Weiser, but from the outside It looked as though
an experienced man would have been a better selection.
Phillies' Pitchers Look Still Better
With luck breaking his way, Eppa Rlxey would have won easily, He was
nicked for 11 hits, but he scattered them through seven innings, and was
Unusually good with men on bases, An error by Becker on an easy fly ball
was responsible for the second run scored by Brooklyn, and this was "just
enough tQ permit them to win, On the whole, Rlxey's wprk was most Pleas
Ing. It was his second good game in a week's time, and his work makes the
pitching staff look much better than it did, even though three games have been
lost out jot tbe last six played.

Where ho sliced one tack o a free;
And ho never camo vp to a mashlo shot
And swunq for a lusty rap.

"How," queries a frothlnc fanatic, "do
you pronounce Kauff?" Tho 'u" Is elastic

As owner, Itobort B. Ward observed
Bonny Kauff rising lightly for a flying
Jump from Brooklyn to Now York ho Is
said to havo rushed a cordon of guards
around his bakery beforo that, too, waB
enticed out of his eager reach.
At tho snmo tlmfl Mr. Ward yts said to
havo ndmltted that ho mado a clprlcal
error or a tactical blunder when ho figured
any philanthropy Into his baseball debut
and believed that ho was eradicating serf
dom from tho pastime.
When Interviewed concerning the spec
tnculnr lenp of Mr. Kauff across tho
Brooklyn Bridge. Manager Loo Mageo had
the following comment to make: " ! I

this he didn't caro to bo quoted.

Three years ago ho won 19 Btralght and

over since.
If the Rubo breaks or ties another rec

A I'nir of Collapses
When tho Bed Sox were picked to can
ter In with tho American Leaguo pennant
they wero figured to havo the stoutest
pitching staff In baseball. They had no
winning edgo on tho rest of the league In
other ways. So far this pitching staff has
fluttered badly, and If Wood nnd Gregg
remain useless, as the case now looks,
the Bed Sox margin will be wiped away
and the race will turn Into a free-for-all,

He is a Boston product and after
nine straight preliminary wins
hero, Frank believes ho can whip
local star boxers.
THREATENING ANY DAY, LOUIE, BUT WHY WORRY? THE PHILS ARE
pay-ns-you-enter, catch - as - catch-can
anybody's pennant.
In fact, tho virile Dorm has been so
badly shot up at this writing that It Is
dllllcult to tell what happened yesterday,
much less what might happen tomorrow
or next month.
Tho second pitching collapse has been
even moro startling than the flrst. Mc
Graw figured that with Tcsrcnu, Mnthew
son. Marquard and Porrltt ho nt least had
a well experienced, steady staff.
Yet there hns nevor beon a time slnco
ho took lip tho Giant cnae, somo 12 or 13
years ngo. when tho first dozen gnmea
havo furnished such moth-eaten pitching.

As the Case Now Stands
If ono had to mako a Burvey of what
has happened so far In tho National
Leaguo and offer a guess based upon
form nnd stuff shown to date, tho Na
tional League flag fight would bo a matter
of Braves vs. Phillies, with the Braves
having the edge.
So far Giants. Dodgers, Cubs. Reds and
Pirates havo failed to show nny pennant
power or consistency. But tho Phillies
havo been playing the best ball In either
clrclt, and the Braves, whllo still menn
dorlng along, havo managed to stay
around, with their pitching staff still
backward.
In tho courso of a short whllo Stalllngs
will havo Evcrs back In with Rudolph,
James and Tyler ready to work nt top
speed. When this happens, with the bat
ting power added by Sherwood Magee, It
will be hard to hold tho Braves In check.
They are not hustling as they did last
August and September. But If they nro
crowded after tho next two weeks, there
will bo n return of the old flro and fuzz.
They have already shown they have a
much better attack to repel than they had
n yenr ago, and this, with the pitching
they can soon bank on, will laave them
oven keener favorites than they were
back in March beforo tho first gun was
fired.
The Phillies, being under a new regime,
may refuse to break and scatter as they
havo dono before but this Is peering a
trltlo too far ahead to be listed among the
authentic Incidents of the dope.
