every "in tallied by St. Louis, though it is poxslblo they would bavo tallied their
ftstrun without tho aid of Klllefcr's bad throw to second. It was a henrt
Ireaklng gamo for Chalmers to lose, as ho held tho Cards to six hits, two of
Vhlch wero scratched, and struck out nlno men.
ll It seems to bo a regular occurrcnco for Chalmers to get Into a pitchers'
tattle, and too many of them, with only llttlo support in tho field and nono at tho
tut, are likely to have a bad effect on him. It was tho best exhibition Chalmers
ku given on tho local field this season, and ho is getting better ovory day.
f Five errors wero mado by Moran's men, and four of them figured In tho
Korlnff. It was merely an off day for the entlro team, both at bat and in tho
jela, and It came at a most unfortunate time. Had tho Phillies won, they would
jure gained considerable ground In tho pennant race, as both Boston and Chicago
litre beaten.

b von Hointtz, ot iteds, limp; of Pinch Hitters
C The new plnch-hlttlng king Is hero today. Ho Is George Von Kolnitz, of tho
fflnrlnnatl Reds. For years tho plncher's title belonged to Harrv McCormlck. nf
the Glints, who Is now managing tho Chattanooga Club, of tho Southern League,
jllg "Ham" Hyatt, of Pittsburgh, now with tho Cardinals, camo along and gavo
HcCormlck a great bnttlo for this title for a time, and then "Doc" Miller, of tho
fTMiti hrnkfl Into tho limellirht.

For three years Miller surpassed all others In this art, and was recognized
U the greatest In tho gamo. Pinch hitters, as a rule, can do llttlo else, and that
lhy they are not regulars, but a pinch hitter must be n man of unusual
sMHty. A good pinch hitter faces moro trying minutes In a ball gamo than any
ither player, and ho must bo possessed of remarkable nervo and an unii3urtl
wMtnt nf nnnflrlpnrr.
W He Is called upon to go out and face a pitcher who Is .probably going at tho
'Jbj of,hls gamo, and ho gets no chanco to warm up, as do other substitutes.
The pinch hitter goes in cold. If ho delivers ho Is a star find tho manager shows

r&ntherner, Von Kolnitz.
sjVon Kolnitz is not like tho majority of star pinch hitters, because ho is
iBdtfccordDetent in other departments. In tho recent series hrtwAim thn rjl.nntM
aifflSft . . v-
SJpJsdReda In New York, Von Kolnitz was called upon by Manager Hcrzog four
irifttaeIn as many days. He responded with a triple, a doubio and a single, and
,i robbed of another trlplo through a bensatlonal catch by Georgo Burns. His
Rouble gave tho Reds their only victory over Now York, and tho Gotham scribes
Ure hailed him ns the "king of pinch hitters." Von Kolnitz. however, has not
roiflned his pinch hitting to Now York. Ho has delivered In a remarkablo
runner against all teams to date.
'
"Why Von Kolnitz Is Not a Regular
jBb great was tho Impression mado by Von Kolnitz's hitting New York that
eui paper remarked: "This Von Kolnitz must bo a hopelessly bad fielder, slnco
Kffl a terrific slugger is kept out of tho regular llno-up of tho Reds." To which
Manager Herzog cheerfully supplied four reasons why Von Kolnitz is not playing
Wilarly. They are:
J "First. Von Kolnitz has been disabled by a bad leg all spring, and he has
net yet entirely recovered.
"Second. Ho is, by fitness and training, a catcher, but docs not havo tho
experience to compete with" three stars Hko Dooln, Wlngo and Clarko just yet.
'Third. Ho Is being mado over into an inflolder, but is also handicapped by
tosiperlence, as he never played in the inner works to any extent before flvo
weeks ago.
Fourth. Perhaps I might be tempted to place him at second base even
mw, If he were not averse to nlaving that position. With Groh. the best third
lawman In the league, at third, and feeling that I should be at short myself,
there la little chanco at present of him playing in the infield, though ho has dono
Use work at first baso when called upon."
Further than that. Herzog savs that there Is hardly a nlavcr on his entire
elab who will be good enough to keep Von Kolnitz out of tho regular llno-up
JiM he gets over a few faults that ho acnulrcd as a catcher and learns to
ilandle a small glove better. In his cames nt shortston. during Herzog's absence.
)'oa Kolnitz more than filled tho bill, and right now is considered by Herzog as
juuabje an all-around man as there is In tho major leagues.
Come-back of Coombs Marvel of Baseball
Jack Coombs continued his winnlnc- career, and though ho did not look like
tt Coombs of old the dnv hn hpnt thn Phillies here, ha is evidently back In form

a good, clean, hard-working citizen, who
Is a credit to the game." In behalf of
which we'd like to see Colby Jack step
out and win every game ho pitches, that
being the typo of citizen we havo always
found him.
Leading to the Case of Connie
The Coombs Incident brings up a num
ber of sharp criticisms Mack has received
for selling Collins and permitting Messrs
llender. Plank and Coombs to drift, with
Ilaker left uncoaxed upon his Maryland
farm.
Well, suppose you wero Mr. Mack. Sup
pose you had ImeBted your kalo In a ball
club. Suppose, after winning your fourth
pennant, you had dlscovoied a big de
ficit, duo to tho fact that your clientele
had become weary of unending victory?
Would you stand pat on further finan
cial louses or attempt to shift, building
up a now machine?
Concerning McLoughlin
Dear Sir A certain eminent tennis au
thority, In a manner of speaking, has
stated In his columns that without his
Incomparable servlco Matirlco McLough
lin would rank somewhera In tho second
ten In this country.
AVbat Is the true dope on this?
J. W. M.
In the first place, one might as well say
that Ty Cobb, but for his great battlnc.
would not be near tho ball player he is
today; or that Grovcr Cleveland Alexan
der, but for his right arm, would only be
a fair pitcher. McLoughUn's service Is a
big part of bis game. But not all of it by
an oxtenslvo margin. With a servlco no
better than thn average star he would
still be a great player, one of tho best,
but this has nothing to do with tho fact
that McLoughlin is the greatest lawn ten
nis player In the game.
Travcrs and Putting
Critics used to make the same mistake
about Jerry Travers. They had a habit
of saying that Travers would never have
been champion except for his phenomenal
putting. They forgot that In addition to
this ho was a master of the long Irons,
very good with the mashlo and a star at
tho chip shot off the green. They also
forgot that In the casea of both Mc
Loughlin and Travers stamina and cour
age were big factors, and these are as
much a part of any game as the science
oc a stroke.
We take It that Yale men have no pro
test of any sort coming over Ihe Incident
built atound Mr, Hoos, the shot-putter.
Harvard and Yale were operating under
an agreement, and under this agreement
Itoos waa not eligible to competo by tho
printed laws set up and approved. Which
Is about all there Is to It.
Offside Plays
Many a bloke has been labeled game
who merely had a hard head and a thick
hide.
The contender who never beats him
self carries a percentage considerably
above .600.
The Giants have suddenly discovered
that It Is a lot easier to slip down Into
last place than It Is to slip back up
again. A discovery that Is far from be
ing new.
The Yanks, via the averages, are not
batting any abnormal amount above last
season. I3ut they aro obtaining a much
larger supply of runs, and it is the run,
not the base hit. which formulates tho
most vital part of the box score.
These are tough days for the Ueds
again. Through force of habit the ap
pioach of each June finds them pointed
In the same direction after a start that
gave promise of better things. Force ot
habit is one ot the toughest Institutions
in the game to beat
Although no definite rule on the rjues
tlon has been made, tho latest. Unofll
clallv, in connection with the Public Golf
Course at Cobb's Creek Is that Sunday
play will not be permitted. If this Is so,
the city will defeat Its own ends.
The course was planned and li now
being built for , the use of men and
women who wish to tako Up golf, but
have not the wherewithal to becomo
members ot one of Philadelphia's nianv
golf cluhi.
A Mr Common People and hh son, as
well as wife and daucbter. nrn rnnflned
to their tnsks six days of the week, Hun
day Is to them their day of recreation as
well as rest. (Irantcd that many of them
have half holidays on Saturday, what
chanco will hundreds of people have of
playing over an 13-hole courso between
noon and twilight on Saturday?
It Is no exaggeration to say that tho
number of peoplo who would make use
of tho public golf courso regularly would
total moro than f00. So far as that class
of people Is concerned, to forbid playing
on Sundns Is virtually equivalent to not
having the couise. The question of holi
days Is unimportant, for they nro few
and far between, while at the lowest es
timate It Is possible to play golf on 33
Sundays throughout the year
Sunday golf on the public course Is
permitted In Chicago, and thousands, not
hundreds, of players, get In one or more
rounds on that dnv In order to do so
manv nrrlvo at Jackson Park and Gar
field Park before da break. It Is no un
common sight to see several hundred
golfeis at each of these places beforo 6
o'clock In tho morning.
Tho golf team of tho University of
Pennsylvania has an excellent record for
tho season to date, having beaten Prince
ton nnd tied Cornell in Intercollegtato
matches, nnd beaten Wilmington, Spring
haven and Merlon in team matches. To
morrow tho Red and Blue wilt tackle
Yalo In an all-day match at tho Merlon
Cricket Club, Havarford.
Duncan Cuthbcrt, younger brother ot
Huntingdon Valley's famous golf profes
sional, has loft Philadelphia to accept
tho berth of professional at the Country
Club of AVatertown, New York. F"or
some time past Duncan has been Davey's
assistant nt Huntingdon Valley, and dur

teachers at the Indoor golf school In the
Glmbel store.
Frank Sprogell. tho promising, ymtnK

Kxcellent progress is being made on
the course of the Altwood Country Club,
Woodbury Heights. N. J ahd those In
charge of the project expect to have the

There Is so much tournament golf
crammed Into next month that on two
occasions local affairs conflict. On June
24, 20 and 6 tho second annual Junior

time the second annual invitation tourna

week tho Middle Atlantic Golf Associa

Wilmington Country Club, nnd a women's
Invitation tournament will be played over
the Seavlew course nt Absccon.
Today at Phllmont fne Bala Golf Club

meet Moorestown Field Club on Friday
nt SpringhaVcn. Bala and Woodbury were
tied for last placo In the women's Subur.
