Undignified, you say? Quito so quite so. Hut that Bplrlt carries one back
o his W(l days. It recalls memories of the ball games that ynu played In the
long ago. It makes you rorget mai you are watching money-made professionals
it work. It makes you feel that you nre wntchlng men piny who love the gamo
'for tho game's sake. And It gladdens your heart nnd makes you love the grand
old game c-euer man youo iovcu u Binco it degenerated from a sport to a
ktrvest for lawyers and nn excuse for mud-sllnglng.

PENNOCK TO PITCH
IN ST. LOUIS TODAY
Brown's Pitching Stuff Shot to
Pieces Hamilton Suspended.
Macks Show Confidence.
ST. LOUIS, May 11. Tho Ilist of tho
Eastern teams will bo soph ln-i - tmlin
when Connlo Mnck' American I.eiiRiie
champions meet tho Drowns. The Ath
letics arrived In town Inst nlghl. ami
nro a rather happy hunch considering
that tho.v nro down In tho race. Thcro
Is an air of confidence In the i.-unp of
the visitors witlch spells troulilo for
Itlcltey's men. Tho Uickeyltcs hnvn
looked very bad to date, ami the fnlluro
of povernl men to got Into condition luis
been a great hrndlcnp.
Manager rtlekey will stand for no moro
breaking of the training rulrs, aw Is
evident by tlio suspension of Pitcher
Karl Hamilton. The little southpaw was
suspended Indefinitely nnd lined $300 by
Manager IUchcy for Insubordination and
fnlluro to get Into shape. Hlckey says
that Hamilton not only litis neglected
his own work, but has tried to stir up
dlscontcnf. among tho rest of tho plnjcrs
At present tho Drowns' pitching atalf
Is shot to pieces and Hlckey really lins
no Idea who will bo selected for mound
duty during the present series.
Aside from Loudormllk, none of his
pitchers has shown anything but a dis
position to toss ball games away. Hut
Wellman, Baumgnrtner and lloch have
shown great Improvement In tho past
week.
Manager Mack will send I'ennocl;
against tho Drowns If his present plans
de not miscarry. This young southpaw
found tho Drowns easy last season, nnd
In one gamo here allowed but thrco hits
and struck out 11 men.
On another occasion In Phllly ho
fanned 12 men nnd scored another shut
out. It Is ono team that Pcnunck seems
to have ut his mercy, and ho Is expected
to twirl twlco In the present scries.

Interesting sessions nt tho Olympla A. A.
last nlRht. Had tho local lad fought his
usual stylo of batlle, dopendlns on his
tantalizing left Jab, lie would have
easily outpointed his opponent.
Instead, coached by Hnnlon, nctlns as
his chief adviser. Louisl tried his utmost
to finish the visitor with n slnnlo punch,
a strnlcht right-hand blow. Ho landed
this wallop several times, but It had liltlo
effect on the Dutchman.
Brandt started tho fray boxing Louis
iana, but after the first round ho brought
tho fight to his nntngonlst almost In

PHILLIES TAKE SHOT
AT PITTSBURG TODAY;
ALEXANDER TO PITCH
Moran Wrathy Over Sorry
Showing o f Ambitious
Phils in Recent Series.
McQuillen Slated for Pi
rates' Mound Duty.
, Disappointed at the two reverses In a
three-game series with tho Dodgera the
Phillies Indulged in n stiff practice thla
morning. While Manager Moran Is In
clined to placo much of tho blame for
yesterday's defeat on tho umpiring he
nlso realizes that the Phils have been
guilty of rankest kind of mlsplays for
the past week.
Pat hopes to get out of his slump at
tho expense of the Pirates, who have
suddenly awakened after n nap of a
yenr. It will be remembered that tho
Pirates opened up the 1014 season With
II victories out of 16 games nnd were
far In the ' lead when Dooln's crippled
band took them from their pedestal.
After that defeat tho Pirates went oft
Into ono of tho worst slumps a National
League team has ever taken. The break
down was a surprise to the country, aa
the addition of Konetchy, Mowrey and
Harmon made the Pirates look like a
pennant winner. Tho Pirates fell so hard
that the only reason they failed to finish
In last place was that the Reds insisted
on losing 0 games In a row late In the
season. Even at that the race- for last
place woa close.
This reason, with the Phillies up at the
top and the Pirates hanging around the
.E00 mark, Fred Clarke Intends to have
his revenge, and It muBt be admitted that
his chances are good unless the Phils
awaken.
With Alexander on the mound tho Phil
lies usually look like a different team,
nnd It is hoped that they get out of their
slump before the stronger western teams
arrive.
George McQuillen, formerly a local Idol,
who staged a more sensational "com
back" than Jack Coombs, Is down on the
cards to oppose Alexander tha Great, and
If Mack Is ns effective against the Phil
lies as he has been In the past "Alex"
will have a battle on his hands.
