M'GRAW ADMITS THE PHILLIES
ARE CONTENDERS FOR PENNANT
Giants' Leader Denies Alleged Interview in Which He Termed
Spurt ,'Flash-in-thC'Pan"The "If" Plays Yesterday
t Which Woutd Have Turned Tide of Battle.
John McQrnw, manager of tho Now Yorfc Glnnle, dcnlcii Hint ho ever
isfild tho Phillies were n "fnlso alarm" or "spring chmnplons." Tho lender
of tho mnny-tlmo chnmplon Giants snys that ho could not huvo been quoted
H8 saying that tho I'hllllcn were a Joko tmll club because ho honestly believed
Motrin's team woutd bo In tho light to tho finish. Good pitching will mnlto
tho Phillies n most serious contender, snys McGraw, ns ho thlnlts tho team
J8 by far better off with tho hustling youngsters than tho illHHiitlslled stnia.
It might bo well to mention also that McGrnw thlnhs lits team will finish
one or two, despite. Its tnlscrablo start mid crippled condition. Tho 21 player
limit hna been a ureal blow, but McGrnw believes that such luck as ho has
had to dato would havo kept tho team back nnyway.
Teamwork Better Than Flashes or Stars
''I want It understood that I never said tho Phillies wcro a Joko team
for Icaguo lcaderfl," was McGrnw's shnrp nnswer when usked why ho had
predicted n second division berth for the Phillies In a. recent nlleged Inter
view. "My opinion Is that Mornu has a nilRhty fine ball club. If things
continue to breuk for him, somebody Is duo for n surprise. Pat Is n pretty
wlso fellow and will profit by the mistakes mado in tho past when the team
wns leadhiB at tho half wny mark. '
"Soma people say ho has not n good club because ho has pnsscd up
some stars, but that Is wrong. This fellow Whlttod Is ovcry bit on Rood as
Magco and perhaps a little better. Mngco Is a wonderful ball player, but
h&ymlxcs sensational work with somo very bad playing, and this hurts n
team that must settle itself Into the steady Rait that wlnB pennants."
Whys and Wherefores of Phillies' Success
"Moran has tho best pitcher In tho land in Alexander," continued McGrnw,
"and with Mnyer and ono or two others, ho has a staff strong cnoiiRh to win
any pennant If tho club holds up, and thero Is no reason why it should not
hold up And, remember, wo also will bo in the race. Wo don't look good
now, but wo will. My team Is composed of veterans and they are slow In
rounding Into form. This, together with tho bnd luck In tho form of accidents,
has sent us to tho bottom, but when Warm weather comes we will start to
climb.
"I look to see tho Braves, Giants, Phillies and Cubs stay up at tho top or
thereabouts. I don't think that tho Braves aro a bit better If as good as last
season. Tho mad spurt last season kept tho men keyed up to a high pitch
and they really wont better thnn thoy know how. And then again they will
not carry tho other teams off their feet as they did in 1914, nor Is It likely
thoy will ever get such consistent pitching ns that dono by Rudolph, James
and Tyler for the last haf of the season.
Records of Double-plays in Baseball
When tho Ynnkces mado four double plays against tho Athletics on Sat
urday It was said that this wns the American League record for the season
and equaled the best record made In Johnson's league since Its Inception.
That Is wrong. This mark has been beaten live times In tho American League.
Just a week ago tho St. Louis Browns made five double plays In flvo suc
cessive Innings. Prior to Tuesday, April 27, tho Browns had twice mado flvo
double plays In a nlne-lnnlng game. They turned tho trick first on July 27,
1912, and again on July 2, 1913. Other American LcaRiio teams to make flvo
double killings In a gamo wcro Boston, on Mny S, 1904, and Cleveland, on
June 1, 1913, but flvo double plays In flvo consecutlvo Innings was never
accomplished before the Browns did It against Detroit Inst Tuesday.
In tho National League Brooklyn has been tho only club to nccompllsh
the feat In nine innings, though it has often been equaled and beaten in
extra-Inning games. Bmoklyn got away with the trick on August 28, 1913.
Tho record performance of this kind was by tho Kansas City Club, of tho
American Association, which mado six double plays In six consecutlvo Innings
on May 4, 1014. Tho greater number recorded In ono Rome was elRht, mado
by the Boston American League Club In an 18-innlng gamo In 1903. Five
of these plnys were made by tho famous Parcnt-to-Ferris-to-Lachance com
bination. Real Test Now for the Phillies
The fans now may seo what the Phillies aro made of. They are facing the
crisis In the next two days. Any ball club looks great In victory and with things
going their way, but It take3 a real club to come back after losing a heart
breaking struggle llko tho Phillies dropped to the Giants yesterday. Tho Athletics
were anything but a beaten team in the world's series until Eddie Plank was
downed in that nerve-racking l-to-0 Rame. But after that defeat they cracked.
Will the Phillies crack. Apparently yesterday's Rame was merely one defeat,
but its moral effect will be groaU Tho team will cither light back like a gamo
ball club, or lose heart when-'faclng Just such a contingency that arose In tho
ninth inning yesterday. One docs not realize what a defeat of that sort means
to a club until he has seen the men and watches how they take It.
What Might Have Happened "If"
It was a game of "ifs." Onev could mention many "Ifs" that would havo
turned defeat Into victory. All the Fates seemed to combine against the Phil
lies In that eventful ninth Inning. Chalmers pitched a beautiful gamo until then,
nnd even after Lobert had doubled and scored on Georgo Burns' sacrifice fly
there did not seem to be a chance for the Giants.
Two men were out when Robertson stepped to the plate. He had made a
double tind two singles out of three trips to tho plate, and the crowd was on tho
anxious bench. When Chalmers shot two strikes across, the crowd breathed
eusler. The next pitch was a ball, but the following ono appeared to be right
ucross the centre of the plate. Eddie Burns, catching for tho Phillies, started
to run for tho clubhouse, but Umpire Qulgley called the pitch a ball.
Catcher Burns Could Have' Won Game
Robertson had another chance and started fouling off pitch after pitch. Five
fouls were hit and then he Just grazed one. Tho ball went straight Into Burns'
mitt, but he dropped it. If he had held It the gamo would have been over. But
ho didn't. Robertson then hit a grounder at Luderus, which bounded badly and
pot away from tho first Backer for a hit. If ho had held It Robertson would
have been an eaBy out.
Then Bralnard swung nt a spltter and rolled an easy grounder down the
third-base line, which ho beat out. Byrne was playing deep, or he might havo
thrown him out. Meyers, ono of the Giants' best hitters, vas next up. Chalmers
had him two strikes nnd no balls when, for some reason or other, he shot a fast
ball straight across. Instead of trying to work tho big Indian,
Meyers sent the ball Into centre and Robertson darted for the plate. Whltted
threw accurately, but late, and Robertson scored the ttelng run. To make matters
worse, Eddie Burns allowed the throw to get away from him nnd was slow
recovering It, and Bralnard also scored by cutting third base about three feet.
If Burns had even stopped the ball or played It safe, as he should have, the score
would have been a tie and the Phillies would still have had a chance.
Chalmers Showing Better Every Day
The crowd was stunned. There did not seem to be a chance to beat Chalmers,
as he wes going at his best. It only goes to show what a few little breaks and
''Ifs" mean In a ball game. Chalmers may or may not have been careless on
Meyers, but It looked that way from tho stand. The big pitcher may have
figured to cross the Indian by giving him that straight, fast ball, but it was a
poor chance to take on such a hard and timely hitter.
Chalmers' pitching, though beaten, was enough to encourage one who tried
to be optimistic. He is looking better every day, and if he gets over the heart
breaking' defeats and forgets It, he Is going to prove the very man Moran needs to
keep tha Phillies in the fight to the tlnish. Four hits were all the Giants got
until the ninth, and three of these were made by Robertson, a fair hitter, but
one who seemed to have great confidence In facing George.
From a Phllly standpoint the game was featured by a terrific home-run
smash; by Beals Becker, which cleared the right-Held fence near the flag pole.
"When the ball cleared the fence It had fully thirty feet to spare, It reminded
one very much of the. drives Luderus used to make back In 1911,
Cravath's Batting Slump Cripples Phillies
Other features in the play of Moran's men were the several dazzling stops
and throws by Bancroft, who Is, lh the opinion of Manager McGraw, of the
Giants, avsecond Mike Doolan, and two fine stops by Bobby Byrne. The great
est drawback to the Phillies yesterday, as has been the case slnco the team
arrived home, was the continued batting slump of Cravath, who struck out
twice, went "out on a foul to, Meyers and rolled an easy grounder to .Fletcher,
It Is the worst slump Cravath has had in years, but he Is duo to break loose at
any time and make up for lost time. That's some consolation.
Absence of Killefer Keenly Pelt
The Injury to Killef.e'r'.hi, fortunately, not likely to keep him out of the
game any length of timer Killefer Is to the Phillies what Schalk is to the White
;Kox, Gpwdy to the Braves, Archer to the Cubs and Bchang to the. Athletics.
1th him the club is stronger by 20 per c.ent not only for his rare ability, but
5( ? Pfinndence he instils Into the pitchers and other players.
Uyrus is a good catcher and a mighty handy young man to have on the
rlijb. In fact, they are mighty lucky to have such a high-class second-string
man about, but be Is not a Killefer just yet, and It is a matter of great doubt
v. nether the Giants would have been able to win that game with Killefer
HU-hlng H niisnt of might not have permitted Whltted's throw to get away,
. .it tUe general belief is that he would have seen to It that Chalmers efopped
, .not tug bails fur KubrUen, Bralnard and Meyers. i

Lines to the Yanks
O Tcm;or O Morcsl O you Yankst
Whoever thought you'd start on such a
sp ec
To leave the rut and climb the dizzy
banks
Up where the Giants and Mackmcn used
to bet
Whoever thought, old rippers, you were
there
With sprigs of olive tangled in your halrr
Some eminent philosopher has figured
It out that In this mundane existence most
things oven up that those who wear the
laurel and thoso who wear the chaplet
of thorns shall some dny swap posses
sions. There Is proof extant that he was right.
From 1S90 to 1910 Yale's football machine
almost yearly drove Harvard oft the
plains. But slnco 1910 Harvard has so
predominated that Yale has hardly had a
chnce. . .
The philosopher's Idea Is developing even
keener truth in balldom. The first switch
camo last summer, when the Braves roso
and upset the Giants and Mackmen. But
the most elastic reversal came on the
first day of May, 191, when John J. Mc
Graw and Cornelius McGIUIcuddy wero
piloting tall enders while Pat Moran and
Bill Donovan, two new leaders, had the
scoffed-at Phillies and the Jeered-at
Yanks In first place.
Gone All Gone
As C Lamb almost remarked "Gone,
all gone, are the old familiar landmarks."
In this sporting whirl the upset cams
with blinding speed. On May 1. 1014. ths
Giants had three pennant years back of
them, with a fourth In sight; the Mack
men had three world series years back
of them with a fourth only a canter on
ahead.
On the same day the Yanks had 10
years of disaster back of them and little
hope ahead. And the Phillies were break
ing and fading.
And then, one year later. May I, 1915,
the Yanks and Phillies were leading, with
Giants and Mackmen In the cellar, look
ing as spotted as the Yanks and Phillies
had ever looked at their worst. Which,
after all, Is the way of baseball, and life
and the rest of It,
The Uprisen Yanks
There are a few details in connection
with the revised Yank3 that might t
considered in the light of future events.
From the first of July to October 1 last
season the Yanks traveled at a .540 clip,
or thereabouts, enough to have put them
In third place with a fair start. This,
too, without the help of Ray Caldwell
the greater part of the way.
Since then they have added two first
class aids In Plpp and High, nnd have re
gained Caldwell, And they have In Bill
Donovan a leader who understands the
art of obtaining all the fight and hustle
their systems carry.
"Why a Fluke?
Some expert has referred to the Yank
uplift as a "fluke Btart." Why the fluke?
Thoy havo In Kunamaker and Sweeney
two first-class catchers. In Caldwell,
Fisher, McHale, Brown and Keating with
Cole, Pleh and Wahrop In reserve they
have all the pitching they need. They
have had the pitching and fielding for n
year. What they have lacked Is the
punch at bat and now with Cook, Plpp,
Crce, Nunamakcr, Sweeney and Hartzell
their aggressive strength Is doubled.
As tho situation now stands there is
only ono affair that can drive the Yanks
back Into tho second division and this
will be Injuries or accidents linked to a
slump that may bring back the old days
of dlscourngement. If they can meet their
fl'st slump and keep on lighting, with the
Indigo tradition of old forgotten, the
Yank habitat for 1915 should be among
tho first four to a rockribbed certainty.
Short Lengths
"What," asks- an exchange, "Is tho most
useful Ingredient In sport speed, power,
courage or brnln?"
None of them. The most useful Ingredi
ent Is a philosophy that can take tho
break of the game as It comes and can
accept failure without depression and suc
cess without conceit.
If the Mackmen were slipping fast last
summer when they had Collins, Baker,
Bender and Plank, their present attitude
is not to be wondered at.
Thero are two more notches In the gun
handle of old Doc Time. Only a year or
two ago Malhcwson and Bender wero
world series Btars, In possession of the
spotlight. Now Mav Is slipping on toward
Juno, nnd neither has yet put through a
victory.

Scholastic baseball, tennis and cricket
matches scheduled In this vicinity this

the Incle.ncnt weather. Among the league
games on top were matches between
Friends' Central and Episcopal, of the
Interacademlc campaign, and In the
Scholastlo League, West Philadelphia
High and Catholic High nnd Southern
High nnd Central High were scheduled.
These contests will bo decided on a
future date.
The remarkable showing of tho West
Phllly national pastlmers Is the biggest
surprise In scholastlo athletic competition
hero this season. When the Interscho
lastlc campaign started the Speedboys
were not considered In the running by
the dopesters. However, the Orange and
Bluo nine's victories, especially Its recent
wins over Northeast High and Central
High, havo placed the team In a position
to romp off with the championship unless
the Speedboys hit a slump.
Coach Alker has developed a corking
pitching staff from a squad of raw mate
rial and, coupled by the hard hitting of
the players, the school across the Schuyl
kill Is being represented by a crackajack
IVtllUlllUUUII.

caused him to warm a seat on tho bench,
weakened Germantown Friends' nine
Shipley played a corking game In the
Held and his good work with the bat
proved a great asset for Friends on the

hitter on the team. In a recent contest
he garnered . double, triple and single
out of five times at the bat.
