PHILLIES CLASH WITH PIRATES IN FINAL RACE IN SCHOLASTIC BASEBALL LEAGU
BATTING SLUMP OF PHILLIES
MAY SOON COST LEAGUE LEAD
Whole Team Weak With the Willow Lnderus and Klllefer
Needed to Bolster Club Sensational Ficldin'g of Pirates
Robs Moran's Men of Victory.
Tho liatUtw slump if Crnlnlli wns u Imtl enough Immllriip to the 1'IiIIIIph.
hut II seems that the nlump linn become kpiipiiiI and It Is imty u nintlcr of
n day or two before, the tenm will lie mil of llrst iiIiicp unless there Ih ii
sudden btnec. Aside from Whlttod, l.uderus nnd Klllefer every mini on the
team Is ImttliiB far below Ills normal speed, and as the IiIk "st Imscmnn
and star catcher are both out of the Rame the team's attack Is woefully weak.
AVhlln there Is naturally kocmI tauso for wciry over the threiilencd Ions
ot first place, there aro still plenty of good spoti In the work of Moran's team.
The pitchers continue to display Riiind form, and It Is only a Duration of
time before the club will start to hit.
Hobby Hyrne may slow up considerably In the beat of summer, but that
docs not sreatly nffccl his ImltliiK. He Is a natural .285 bitter, now RoltiR
at about half thnt clip. Hancroft's natuial speed cannot b- RiniRcd, because
it Is bis llrst attempt In major leiiRue ball; but be Is far below tho form
lie showed In the early part of the season. Heals Hecker, runner-up to Jake
TJaubcrt for the National LcaRne battliiR chnmplohsblp last season, Is strtiR
pllnR around the .200 mark. Cravath yesterday showed sIruh of comliiR out
of his costly slump, but he owns an avcraRc of .2f7, which Is a miserable
mark for one of his prowess.
Uniting Must Come to Aid or l'liillles
Last season Hert, N'leboff was one of the best clubbers In the leiiRue.
HlthouRh he did not bit .300. He was one of the league's most timely bitters
nnd ranked fourth In the number of runs driven In. but this season br lias
not come throuRh with bis usual timely drives. 1'nskcrt continues in tho
slump that Rrlpped hint In I9t4, and is at the .200 mark, with apparently
little chance of llndltiR himself until tho warm weather arrives.
This makes It apparent that the Phillies have won most of their vic
tories through tho timely hitting of Whltted, l.uderus and Klllefer, with an
occasional long wallop by Cravath or Hecker.
Natural hitters will not stay in u slump long, though the continued post
ponement of dravath's return to form has caused much anxiety. Hut the
Phillies may be counted upon to come through strongly in the near future.
Tho one department that was picked as a fizzle the pitching corps lias
wore than held up lis end, and it it continues at Its present rate the Phillies
must stay up close to the top, even with the batting slump general.
Al Demaree pitched a good game of ball yesleulay, but was beaten
through poor siipport. Three runs were tallied by the Pirates when one
Bhould have been the limit. Hut these tuns, all that Pittsburgh amassed,
were enough to win the game. The ofllcial scorer did not credit the Phillies
with a mlspluy In this round, but If ever two men deserved errors, Nlchoff
and Pnskert did for their plays In that Inning.
I'askcrt and NichofT Make. Costly Hobbles
With one run in, a man on third and a man on first In this session,
Demareo caught Sonant? napping off first. Whltted played his man wrong
With Gerbcr on third, but even then the Phillies would have pulled out nil
right if Nlehoff bad thrown well to tho plate when CJerber 'tried to score.
Niehoff had plenty of time to make a good throw, but tho ball went fully
10 feet to the right of the plate and Gerbcr bad no trouble scoring. A double
Btcal was recorded, whereas an easy out bhould have been registered.
With two out, Carey raised an easy fly to short centre Held. Pnskert
played the hit carelessly and after making a bad mlsjudgment, finally muffed
the ball, as It was necessary for him to dive for it. Mulling the ball might
have, been excused had It not been for tho poor Judgment and apparent care
lessness. This allowed the third run to score, and these tallies clinched the
victory.
Bob Harmon was hit hard throughout the game, but he either tightened
up or his support came through Just at the right time. Carey and Hnlrd
made spectacular catches, while the work of Wagner and Vlox around second
was sensational to say the least. Urilllant playB are naturally expected from
"Wagner, even If he Is an "old man," but Vlox Is looked upon as a poor
fielder, and his handling of ground balls and fast pivoting for double plays
were a distinct shock to the fans.
Wagner Looked Like the Wagner of Old
In tho opening game of the series Wagner looked slow In comparison
with tho Wagner of old, nnd most likely he will look mighty slow before
the (end of the season, but be was certainly a lively man yesterday. Tho
big Teuton accepted 14 chances without nn error, and many of them were
of the hardest sort. His handling of two thrown balls with returns to
Johnston for doublo plays were high-class bits of highway robbery.
Manager Clarko's shift In his line-up was unquestionably responsible for
the victory. Ho switched Dalrd to centre field in place of Costello .and sent
Gerber to third. Halrd pulled down two (lies with men on bases that would
almost surely have been lost by Costello, who misjudgeshalf of the drives
to his territory, while a fine stop nnd throw to Schang by Gerber cut oft
a Phllly run at the plate In the eighth Inning.
Was Carey Right nnd Cravath Wrong?
A play turned up In yesterday's game that caused much discussion In
the stands. Carey singled sharply to right field nnd naturally turned first
Rt a good clip. Cravath threw the ball to Whltted, who was really tnken by
surprise. As soon as Carey saw Cravath throwing to Whltted ho continued
to second, but was nailed by Whitted's quick throw to Hancroft. It wns
va close play and Carey almost got away with it.
The questions were: Should Corey have gone to second nnd should
Cravath have thrown the ball to first?
There are many ways of looking at the play, and what was passing
In. the minds of the players figures largely In the argument. For instance,
Cravath may havo figured that he would catch Carey napping, as It Is un
usual to throw the ball to first when a mnn apparently has no chance to
cutch the runner. t Carey may have looked for Just the sort of a plaj that
came up and turned first farther than Is generally tlie case, simply to draw
this throw. It was n most Interesting question, and two fans even went ho
far as to make a wager on which player was right, leaving it to another to
decide. He decided that Carey should not Iiavo gone to second, but the
decision, was probably wrong.
To the Initiated It appeared that Cravath mude a foolish mistake in
throwing the ball to first. A man will not be caught napping on a play of
this sort once in n season, whereas wild throws are frequently made which
allow a runner an extra base simply because tho first baseman Is caught
napping, and so Is the catcher who falls to back up the play.
It seems that Carey was right in going to second, as it took two perfect
relays and a clever tagger to retire a runner of Carey's ability, and three
absolutely perfect plays are seldom made under such conditions.
Faber's 6 7 -Hall Mark Two Short of Mathewson Record .
A report from Chicago states thnt Urban Faber, Rowland's sensational
young pitcher, hud broken a world's record when he retired Washington In
nine innings by pitching only 67 balls, but this is Incorrect. The report
stated that this broke a mark made by Mathewson several seasons ago.
Faber did break one mark set by Mathewson, but tho New York marvel
still holds tho record. He threw but 65 balls in defeating the Phillies in a
game In this city In 1911. This mark is absolutely accurate, because there
Was hardly a scribe in the press box that afternoon who was not counting
the number of balls pitched, because in the previous series Sam Crane, of
the New Tqrk Journal, contended that Matty had thrown but 69 balls in
beating Brooklyn.
Faber's mark Is vouched for only because that was the number of balls
recorded on an electric scoreboard in town, which mlEht possibly have missed
many foul balls that were made after two strikes had been called on the
batten as these had no direct bearing on the figures placed on the board.
Contract Jumpers Constant Source of Trouble
"When the St, Louis American League Club induced EarJ Hamilton and
fienrge Uaumgartner to Jump their contracts with th? Federal League it was
predicted that Mr, Hedges was storing up trouble for himself, und the prediction
, is bearing fruit. Hamilton and Haumgarlner were held to the American League
only by tho reserve clause since declared illegal and signed iron-clad Federal
league documents, which they procedeed to break.
Instead of allowing a dissatisfied player to jump and consider themselves well
rid of a burden, the Browns went after both men and, by offering" ridiculously
high salaries, induced them to return. Neither man lias been of any use to
the browns since. They have iron-clad contracts and figured they could do as
they pleased. They were both fined $600 and suspended indefinitely by Manager
Rickey within the last week.

The Original "Wondrous Wise" One
There wns a tnmt m our club.
And he teas tooiirtroHS wise;
H'ieit he was beaten in a game
He had tio alibis.
He never whined thai dismal luck
Had handed him a cuff;
He merely said "I 'did mu best
Hut that was not enouph."
There tent o bloke in our club,
And he had quite a brain;
His short end of the score
Or any such rcfiain;
He ninety said in ansuer to
His short end of the score:
"While I had something on the ball,
The other guy had more."
The Western Arising
Last season the West had no entry
among tire llrst three clubs In the Ameri
can League and only one among the first
tluec In the Vs'ntlonnl. Miller lluggbis
pushed his Cardinals up to third place,
but outside of this the st wns very
much to tho plfilo In a baseball wa.
Hut ID 13 has brought nn a decldcc
chaiiKe. Certainly no two clubs In the
Hast now have u better chance to win
tho A. L. banner than Detiolt or Chl
cngo. And h the National League It
would be no great surprise to see at
least two Western clubs, Including the
Cubs, give the Braves a merry little setto,
as the phrase goes.
After a Month's IMay
At the end of a month's play we still
llsure the Ilraves as the moat formidable
National League entry. They still look
to have better possibilities for power In
attack and stanchncss on defense. When
Rudolph, James and Tyler get going, as
they almost suicly will, nnd with Rvcrs
back on guard, Boston's cause will be
well defended.
But In the American League the once
heralded predominance of the Red Sox Is
not quite what It looked to be. The Hed
Sox will need all the speed they can carry
to nose out White Pox and Tigers, and
there Ih a htlrrlug possibility that those
three clubs will round into the stretch
upon even terms, only a span npart.
On the Other Paw
Still, we aro guessing for the most part,
while Fan-fan says he knows. "I pre
dicted,1 be writes, "Walsh's downfall.
Johnson's woist season Inst enr (this
one will be still worse) and that I he
Braves would win the pennant as far
back as July, 1914. Using this same dope
system, I forecast tho following October
finish: -
"American League Philadelphia, 1-;
Detroit, 1-2: Washington, 3; Chlcngo, .
Boston, 6; New York, 6; Cleveland, 7; St.
Louis, 8.
"National League Chicago, 1; Boston,
;: Now York. 3; Cincinnati, 4: Brooklyn,
S; rhlladelphia, 6; Pittsburgh, 7; St.
Louis. 8 "
And there you arc. Collect your bets
now.
Asking Another Why
l know why a fan gives the war whoop
When an Indian enters the stall;
But why does a bloke holler "Sign him"
When a spectator catches the ball I
Wilding
When Anthony Wilding played in Ida
last International championship the
shadow was even then upon him.. We
have often wondered If he was not think
ing of this In hlfl last brilliant matches
with McLoughlln and Williams.
He knew then that the greatest of all
wars was on. And he knew, too, that
with his duty finished on the lawn tennis
courts his place would be at the front o
another game where the service was
fclirapnel and the volleying was whlstllnsr
lead and the finish probably death.

hard to realize that such a nun Is to

MAYER, PIRATES' JINX,

IN WIND-UP CONTEST
Chalmers Also Ready If
Needed in Final Game
Against Pittsburgh Lu
derus and Killefer Ex
pected in Battle Today.
Ersklno Mayer probably will bo sent
against tho Drates this afternoon Instead
of GcorBo Chalmers, who has been the
logical cholco for pltchlnR duty for tho
last three days. Chalmers Is unusually
efTcctlvo against St. T.ouls, arid It Is prob
nble that Mornn will send him against
Ilugclns' men In tho second gamo of tho
series with Alexander opening the Berles.
Mnyer hs$ generally found tho Plratea
rather easy nnd blanked them three
times last season. The side-arm expert
has been worked a triflo hard lately and
his .warm-up for relief pitching yesterday
may have been enough to cause. Manager
Moran to Belect Chalmers for today.
Disappointed at the batting slump of
tho entire team. Manager Moran had tho
Iiojh out In uniform early today nnd the
butting work woh much longer than
usual. With the return of Ludorus the
ofienso will be much stronger, l.uderus
was slated to, return yesterday, but after
a morning work-out he was far from bo-,
Ing iu shape It is likely that Klllefer
will return today, although Eddlo Burns'
work yesterday was high class. Burns Is
fast convincing Mnnnger Moran that ho
Is one of tho best hitters on tho team.
Kilhcr Al Mnmaux or "Babe" Adams

Good Game Kicked Away to St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, May . The Athletics and

tho Mackmcn much time to kick them
selves for tossing away an easy victory
yesterday. It looked like a cinch for
Mack wltlra two-run lead up to the ninth

passed a batter, allowed tho base run

this final session, with tho result that a
three-run rally was staged and tho
Browns won.
Wally Schang. Mclnnls and Walsh also

No Auto Thrives
with Grit in

T
Every man when cleaning out the
crank case of his engine has seen
a Jalack, gritty substance that he
has taken for sand or dirt. Friend,
that isn't dirt. It's the little
particles of steel that imperfect
lubrication permits tolgrind off
in the daily whirl of travel. The
same thingis going on in the gears
how can that be when I put in good lubri
cants ?" Oil and grease alone will never prevent this grinding. Friction is
the constant filing over each other of little microscopic pins and roughnesses
that are found even in the 'most highly polished bearings. Oil and grease
merely smear these over. Heat thins the oil or grease and it runs in and
out of these roughnesses. They are constantly wearing away and breaking
off. There is only one way to put a stop to this mischief. Dixon's selected
flake graphite as combined in Dixon's Graphite Greases makes a lubricant
that fills up every surface irregularity and puts an unctuous, smooth veneer
over the entire bearing, so that metal cannot come in contact with metal.
TheNnore it is rubbed, the more brilliant finish and polish it takes on.
There is only ope form of flake graphite that will do this trick, and this is
produced only by the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company. A car thoroughly
lubricated with- Dixon's Graphite Automobile Lubricants gives "greater
satisfaction than any car doped with v, $

any other lubricant. Buy a can of
Dixon's Transmission and Differ
ential Grease No. 677, and put this
claim to a test. All dealers and garages
who are m business to sell service as
well as take your money sell Dixon's
Graphite Automobile Lubricants.
