EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1915:
PHILLIES HALT DASH OF,
PHIL MACHINE SLIPS COG
SANS LUDERUS AND KILLEFER
First Baseman Has Saved Many Games on Balls Thrown Into
Runner, While 'Whitted Has Lost on Same Plays Star
Catcher Essential With Alexander on Mound.
The winning streak of tlto Pittsburgh Plrntes una broken by Grovcr Clrvo
land Alexander, In the first Intersection game of the season in the National
League. Uut many glaring faults were noticeable In the play of Mornn's tciitn.
The 1'hlllles owe their victory more to tlto remarkable twlrllmj of Alexander and
to the slowness of Hans Wagner than to their own prowess.
It Is becoming more apparent every day that Klllefer nnil l.nderus mean
far rrtoro to the Phillies than the average fan suspects. Uoth Hums ntul Whitted
8,3-6 playing fairly good tall, but the latter belongs In the outfield. The nbsence
of Luderus hns upset the Infield to Hitch an extent that the Inflclders are pulling
ftelr throws and have little confidence on hurried plays. Whitted Is nn ex
first baBcman, but he has been itwuy from the position so long Hint he hns for
gotten how to play the bng.
While Luderus Is generally lookcdupott bh n clumsy performer, there tire
fow first basemen In the major leagues who class with the big German In taking
thrown balls In to the runner, Others make llnshlcr plays and look n bit better
than Luderus on ground balls, but he seldom falls down on it badly thrown ball
In to the runner. When the ball Is In to the runner with Whitted on first, he
Invariably drops the throw, because he cannot get nccUBtuinutl to gauging the
runner's speed and he fears a collision.
t
Luderus Hns Saved Many Games for Phillies
In the course of n season every club Ioscb about a dozen games on throws
close to the bnse runner. These go down Into right field Just at the wrong time.
It Is safe to say that on this particular kind of a play Luderus saves more wild
throws than nny other first baseman In the game, barring Mclntils and Merkle.
There are a half-dozen bettrr all-round men than the I'hllly captain, but he
shines In this particular department, and three gnmes have been lost within the
last week on throws of this sort.
Manager Mornn Mild this morning that ho expected Luderus back In the game
within a day or two, and admits that he never thought so highly of his captain's
work until he saw some one else trying to perform nt the first coiner. And It Is
eafo to say that there arc mnny fans who In the past have howled for Luderus'
release now will welcome his return.
There was no chance for nny Individual bad play losing yesterday's game,
with Alexander's pitching. Seldom has the big fellow possessed more "stuff."
Always a fine curve-ball pitcher, Alexander yesterday hail a fast hall that was
breaking almost a foot. So fast was the break that Hums simply could not hold
him successfully. Three of Pittsburgh's stolen bases were made because Burns
could not get a grip on the ball, and on one occasion he did not even make a
throw.
Killcfcr an Essential With Alexander Pitching
Alexander Is fast getting Into Walter Johnson's class In one respect. Ho
was always In the Senator's class as a winning pitcher, but now he has devel
oped his curve ball to such an extent that Klllefer is the only catcher capable of
holding him properly, with the exception of Charley Dooln, who Is no longer
with the club.
"Alex" has not the speed that Johnson possessed a few yeats ago, but his
fast and curve balls break much more sharply than those of the Washington
marvel, and In the two games he has caught Alexander, Hums has looked llko a
poor receiver. Yet this Is far from the truth. Hums Is a good, steady catcher,
a hard hitter and he possesses a mighty good head, nevertheless, he had better
be assigned to catch the other twlrlers and leave Alexander In Klllofer's hands.
Slowing Up of Wagner Proves Costly
Poor support gave Pittsburgh both of Its runs oft Alexander, but Wagner
and McQuillan presented the Phllllesfcwith two, to even matters up. McQuillan's
part In the play came In making a throw that was not good, but AVagner two
years ago would have smothered the bnll and prevented the Phils from scoring
twice. Agnln, on thp very next play, Byrne hit a ball past the big Teuton for
a single that also would have been an easy chance for Hans two summers ago.
McQuillan pitched a fine game of ball for six innings and had a shade the.
better of Alexander, but while batting in the first half of the seventh Inning he
was hit no the right nrm with one of Alexander's fast balls and immediately lost
his effectiveness. He had held the Phillies to three hits two of which should
have been fielded for six Innings, but thereafter he wns easy. Tho Phillies
tallied twice and made six hits In tl'e last two frames.
Bancroft Far Outshines the Great Wagner
The most pleasing feature of the game from a local standpoint was tho
beautiful fielding of Bancroft. The ex-Portlander made no less than five plns
that Wagner would not have been within five feet of handling, and his throwing
waa a treat. One of the Pittsburgh scribes watched Bancroft throw and said:
"He's another Doolan, for sure." And tho samo thing could be heard all over the
park after he had thrown out Dan Costello on a seemingly impossible play.
For thePlrates, tho work of Bob Schong, Wnlly's brother, stood out prom
inently. Ho handles McQuillan like a veteran and pegged to the bases In great
style. With Schang behind the bat, opposing teams will have to stick close to
the bags and will do little stealing. He Is not as swift a thrower as Wnlly, but
he gets the ball away faster and Is apparently more accurate.
McQuillan Pulls Prize "Bone" of the Day
Anything out of the ordinary seems to tlcklo n baseball fan. Bonehead
plays appeal particularly, as was noticeable yesterday In the' Phlllles-Plrnto
game. Thero wns much to become enthusiastic over and to talk nbout In
discussing tho game; but the most talked-of thing about tho contest was n
"bone" pulled by George McQuillan, which lost tho Pirates n great opportunity.
With one man out, McQuillan was lilt by a pitched ball and advanced
to third on Carey's single. Carey Immediately stole second. Tho Phillies
were leading by only one run, and It looked ns though the Pirates would tlo
the score, with Johnston hitting. The former N'nplander had made three
hits nnd prospects were bright. Johnston did his part, but McQuillan gummed
the deck by pulling a monumentnl "bone."
Johnston's effort was a drive 'which Cravath picked off tho right Held
fence In a sensational manner, nnd every one expected to see McQuillan romp
home nfter the catch, but to the amazement of tho crowd he was seen scam
pering back to third. Instead of waiting on third until ho saw whetUer the
ball wns caught, McQuillan was scooting toward the plate with the crack of
the bat. Had the ball been muffed ho could have scored anyway, had be
waited on third.
The players of both teams were taken by surprise, and Cravath mado
no attempt to throw the ball to tho plate, believing that McQuillan hnd held
his base and wns making for homo after the catch.
It was n prize "bono" by McQuillan, who afterward said that he thought
two men were out at the time. McQuillan Is greatly to blame, but so wns
the coacher for not reminding him how ma'ny wero out. Pitchers do not
Eet on base often and do not seem to be able to keep track of nnythlng but
their strlke-outs, anyway.
. Minors Heat Majors on Triple Play
A fan writes that two triple plays were made by an nmateur team In a
0-lnnlng game in Falrmount Park Saturday, and ho wants to know If nny
major league ever accomplished this feat. In the history of baseball there
Is no record of any major league club accomplishing this feat, but It has been
done twice In the minor league circuit.
On April 23, 1903, at I.os Angeles, Butte made two of these triple killings,
one, Itellley to Hllllngsworth to Messerly, and the otl(er Rellley to Messerly
It Ja a coincidence that "Gavvy" Cravath hit one of the line drives thnt Rellley
pulled down. The other triple killing was made by Toledo, at Kansas City, in
the American Association, on June 4, 1904. Loewe and Ryan made one, and
Loewe and Sullivan the other. Just three weeks ago Nashville, of the Southern
League, made two triple plays, but one was not allowed because the umpire i
ruled thnt a bunt hit, which was converted Into a triple play, was an Infield
fly instead.
Yost Has New Stun in Football Coaching
Coach Fielding H. Yost, of Michigan, can always be counted on to develop
something1 new in football tactics. He has made the spring training this year
doubly Interesting by Inventing a new game to Increase distance 'and accuracy
wjth the forward pass, It Is played like baseball. The batsman walks to the
plate and catches the pigskin which the pitcher serves up to him. Then he
throws the ball as far as he can and tries to reach first before the football
can be fielded and passed to the first baseman. It Isn't necessary to tag a
man. The new game has aroused a great deal ot interest, and is a. real help
In mastering the forward pass.

BANTAM FROM WEST
HERE FOR FIGHTS
Georgie Thompson Coast
Champion, Wants Crack at
Kid Williams. 9
Although Georglo Thompson, of San
Dlcgo, bantamweight champion of the
coast, arrived In this city unheralded,
his popularity and reputation as n fight
er preceded him. The newcomer met tho
leading "1G" pounders on the other sldo
of tho Rockies, and bis record Is not
matted by tho loss of a decision or even a
knockdown.
Thompson, who Is managed by his
father, a former exponent of tho hlt-and-get-away
game, won his titular laurels
of the Pacific coast by decisively defeat
ing Walter Williams. Tho latter was
i recognbed as tho leading bantam on tho
coast by reason of his victories over
every boy who challenged his claim.
Gwfgle cnslly defeated Mooro In a 10
rouhd mill.
Whllo Thompson remains In the cast
he will endeavor to sign up for n match
In Philadelphia, New York or Baltimore
with Champion Kid Williams. The boy
from tho wild and woolly Is confident ho
can glvo tho conqueror of Johnny Coulon
a few pointers In tho art of self- defense.
Thompson witnessed the light between
Lovlslana nnd Dutch Brandt at tho
Olympla Club Monday night. After tho
encounter he said nothing would suit
him better thnn to accommodate either
in a setto here However, Georglo does
not elect the mentioned bantams as his
particular opponents, and ho Is open for
a crock nt nny ono tho promoters may
choose
Although Georglo Is a type of boxer
who depends on his speed and clever
ness to win, ho also possesses a punch
that hurts. He dlsplnys corking foot
work nnd has a splendid defense Of
the 2S bouts on Thompson's record, four
were won by knockouts, ono by a foul,
whllo In tho remainder, with tho excep
tion of four, which were draws, ho re
ceived tho popular decisions.
