t EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1915. S, CONNIE STILL HOPES FOR ANOTHER FLAG MACK'S PITCHERS HAVE SINK-OR-SWIM CHANCE NOW UP TO ATHLETICS' PITCHERS TO PUT TEAM IN THE RUNNING 12 I r 1 f ( imh Mlr. Jitirling Corps of Champs Like Braves' of 1914 and May Yet Come ThrougiClub Still Has Old Offense and Defense. t Long Home Stand Offers Chance for Spurt. Manager. Mack's American League champions, who nro now occupying the tall-end position In the pennant race, start on a home stand of almost a month. It will bo the critical period of the season for the Athletics. They m Will either return to the form that will put them In the running for the pennant or will be, hopelessly out of It by the time the club starts on Its next Westward Journey. During Ha last home stand tho entire team appeared to be bndly de moralized, but reports from tho West state that the team looks to bo In Wonderful form except the pitching staff. Manager Mack has tho other men ttolng at top speed and believes that plenty of morning practice will give the pitchers tiie needed control. The White Sox have won nine games in a row and aro apparently tho class of the league; biifthey aro probably duo for a slump at some tlmo In tho near future, and If tho Athletics strike a consistent winning clip there 1b no telling what may happen. If Bush, Wyckoff, Brcsslcr and I'cnnock ran gain control there will bo no better staff In tho country, with Hob Shaw Key already in splendid form. Athletics Pitchers Like Braves of 1914 In this respect the Athletics' pitching staff Is very much like that of Hie Traves In 1914. Shawkey Is the Tyler of the Braves' staff. flood pitching has been expected of him, as It was of Tyler, but Wyckoff and Bush aro like James and Rudolph. Before tho Braves started on their mnd dash last July, Rudolph was an In-nnd-outer like Bush, while James was almost as wild ns Wyckoff and' had not even shown ns much as tho Mackman when he did have control. Plenty of work made both of these twlrlers masters of con trol, and It Is likely that Mack will fallow out this plan on the present homo Btand and work both men out of turn. If they gain control their work will nlmost surely rival that of Rudolph and James. With Shawkey as n cer tainty tho rest of the Mack staff of hurlers Is really superior to tho Htnlllngs staff of 1914. Thirteen Games Is Heavy Handicap While past performances point to the Athletics remaining In tho sec ond division for some time to come, or perhaps tho entlro season, those who have seen Athletic teams make wonderful spurts Just at the time they wero least expected' refused to believe that Mack's team will fail to rlso on tho present home stand. Thirteen games separate tho Athletics from tho White Sox, and this Is a tremendous handicap to overcome, especially when ono considers the class of tho White Sox pitching staff, but stranger things have happened In baseball, and there is still a chanco If tho pitchers get working right within a fortnight. If tho pitchers fall tho Athletics' great offensive and defensive strength will go to waste and the team will probably stay Just where It is at present or a notch or two higher. Wrath of Ban Johnson Visited on Carrigan The coming of tho Red 'So recalls to tho fans the blocking tactics of Catcher Carrigan on the last appearance hero of the Red Sox. These sumo tactics aro not likely to be seen again this season. It Is said that Carrigan tried tho stunt on Eddie Collins In Chicago recently and tho famous second baseman narrowly escaped serious Injury. President Johnson, of tho Amer ican League, was in tho stand at the time, and that evening he and Car rigan had a rather heated session. In which Johnson mado It clear to tho Red Sox leader that such style of ball would not be tolerated in the Amer ican League. Every umpire on the staff has been Instructed to call all players safe when catchers block the runner In Carrlgan's favorite manner, and If they are of the opinion that the blocking Is deliberate the offender Is to be ban ished from the game nnd a full report made to Johnson. There are some occasions when a collision at the plate Is inevitable, but in Carrlgan's case It seems to be deliberate, and this style of ball must go. President Johnson !s to be congratulated on his stand. - Bed Sox Now Look Like Different Team when tho Red Sox opened the season In this city they were tho unani mous choice of tho fans throughout the country for first place In the Amer ican circuit, but less than six weeks after when they return, they aro not even considered serious contenders. The suspension of Leonard and tho persistent rumors that there Is friction in the club between the players nnd President Lannln and between certain stars and Manager Carrigan, have I ot lightened the latter's burden. The apparent return to form of Wood has been a great help to Carrigan, but the former can only stand about a game a week and cannot take the place of Leonard on tho staff. Vean Tregg Is admittedly through, and others of tho pitching staff complain that their arms are troubling them. Cubs Not So Fierce, After All The much-dreaded Cubs failed to make much of an impression on locul fans. There Is plenty of power at the bat. In the Cub line-up, but little speed, and not enough fighting spirit to make the team a pennant contender, unless It changes vastly within the next few weeks. However, It must be considered that tho Phillies sent their two best hurlers against Bresnahan's team, and In a four-gamo series they might have shown more, but their general form and spirit did not savor of .championship ability. On tho other hand, the Phillies arose to the occasion. Just as they have twice before, when facing tho Braves and Giants. It seems that the Phillies play their best ball against the hardest clubs and fall down badly against the clubs that Bhould be easy. It was a complete reversal of the form Bhown In the last two weeks that enabled Moran's men to take both games from the Cubs, and It looked like a championship club In every way. The return of Luderus may have had much to do with this, but it Is also possible that tho team camo out of Its slump naturally. There were a few mis plays yesterday, but they were due more to the ovcranxlety of players to field balls that ordinarily would have belonged to another. Wilt 'AHSr'IW 11, JS 1!

Phils, As Usual, Slaughter Left-Hander Jim Vaughn was trotted out by Bresnahan to face the Phillies, as Bres nahan was firmly convinced that Moran's crowd was no longer a great club against southpaw pitching. It took tho Phils less than two Innings to convince tho Chicago manager that left banders had better be kept out of tho box when they are playing here. There are few better left-handed pitchers In the country than Vaughn, and he had as much as usual, but the Phillies had plenty of con fidence in their ability to beat anyone who hurled with his left hand, and they proceeded to do It. Cravath was very much in tha limelight, His home-run drive with two men on base In the first Inning took all the fight out of the Cubs and gave tho Phillies even more confidence. Vaughn had worked Cravath to a threo-and-two cgunt, vhen he tried to slip a fast ball across, but tho Phllly slugger met It just right and it sailed high and far above the fence, while 10,000 fans cheered wildly. inis orive was not tne ena to tne rapid-fire attack or the Phillies. Weiser opened the second Inning with a drive against the fence, for a double, and Klllefer followed with another double, to left. That was enough for Vaughn, and Lavender tried to stop the bombardment. He hit Mayer, while Bancroft nnd Byrne followed with singles and Cravath with a sacrifice fly. These hits, mixed with fast work on the paths which enabled runners to move up on every throw, produced four runs and clinched the game. Bancroft added a run in tho eighth by lifting the1 ball into Broad street for another homer. It was the second time thlH season that 'Bancroft has hit over this fence. Rumor of Cuba Trading Cheney There- isa rumor about that Bresnahan Is trying to get rid of Cheney, If the biff spltballer can pitch the ball he showed .against the Phillies he will be a mighty handy man for some club to grab. He was looked upon as one of the very best pitchers in the country until this spring, but it Is said that he and Bresnahan do .not get along well together, and Bresnahan will trade him if he can et a reasonable proposition, Cheney would wjn a lot of games fpr the Phillies, and nothing would please the fans more than to gee Moran get him. After his brilliant work for flye Innings yesterday. It is likely that Bresnahan will think twice before he cuts this star adrift. Phillies ... Nfv York IlrnoUlvn . ISoHtnn ....

Apple and "Butch" Davis, of North Philadelphia, have returned from tho Poconos, whero they enjoyed somo rare trout Ashing. One of tho oldest exponents of dry fly fishing In Philadelphia, Dr. Justus Slnexon, has returned from an extensive trip through the northern part of Penn sylvania, where ho landed Bomo record sized fish. Heports have been received from Stroudsburg, that along Saw Creek, the trout have once again been rising to tho fly. If clear wcathor prevails, excellent results should bo forthcoming from that locality. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Schwartz, ot Al lentown and Philadelphia, will shortly motor through the Poconos, where they will whip the streams for trout. Mrs, Schwartz Is conceded one of the cleverest flshorwomen In Pennsylvania. Cut open the first fish you catch and see what ho is feeding on nnd If posslblo choose the fly or bait accordingly. W. R. Bradford, ot Philadelphia, In company With his wife nnd boy, will fish for pickerel at Palatine, N. J. In fishing for trout use preferably small flics, usually, bright ones on dark days. A whlto miller Is a sure killer when used near dusk or dull-colored ones lfi the middle of tho day. A good assortment of Hies, mounted on Nos. 10 or 12 hooks, that Bhould be included In your collection nro Royal Coachman, Gray Hackle, Whlto Miller, Black Gnat, Brown Hackle, Coachman, rtube Wood, March Brown and Grizzly King. Andrew A. McHugh, one ot Philadel phia's most ardent fresh water fisher men, will spend tho week-end at Black wood to nnglo for pike and pickerel. When a trout makes a strike, don't glvo a hard Jerk and possibly tear the hook from his mouth, Just a turn of the wrist Is all that Is necessary. Tho little sunflsh Is at the head of tho family to which the black bass belong. Edward Itadell, George Eflnger and John Gllloughey, of Bound Brook, whllo fishing last week at Lnko Hopatcong, landed 101 pickerel. Tho largest weighed 1V6 pounds. SALT WATER NEWS Unsettled weather conditions, together with bad storms along the coast, did .lot bring the largo catches expected last week In tho bays along tho Jersey coast. Tho season opened rather early In com parison to former years and fairly good catches wero made. Professional fishermen In the Delaware and Barnegat Bays report a falling off of the runs of mackerel and blueflsh. They rarely stay In these waters for long, but continue their migration along the coast. Few weakflsh were reported caught In tho 60uthern Jersey waters, whllo In the vicinity of New York the weaks havo started to run. At Ocean City the catches of weak fish during the last week or two havo been tremendous, tho largest catches In years. These fish rarely run under thrco pounds, tho major portion of them be ing fivo pounds and over. Tho market fishermen at the present time can only get for these weakflsh onj half cent a pound, and tho cold storagu plants are refusing any more fish. Weak flsh running to this size and numbers ars very unusual, and the salt water fisher man would be wise to mako a trip to Ocean City, Md., and angle after theso beauties. Ocean City Is approximately 100 miles from Philadelphia. Tho fare, round trip, Is $6.50. Train leaves Broad Street Sta tion, Saturday, 7:15 a. m., arrives Ocean City 1:06 p. m.; or leaves Philadelphia J p. m., arrives at 0:16. Train leaves Ocean City for Philadelphia at 6:20, arrives In Philadelphia 11:56 on Monday morning. Tho first meeting of tho Ocean City Fishing Club on Its new pier will bo held tomorrow at the palatial clubrooms, which were built on the pier MO feet from the shore.

Meyers, formerly of Philadelphia for surf fishing In tho waters near New York Last week, whllo the blues and mackerels yjro running In Jamaica Bay, he mads somo fine catches. He will go to Point Pleasant next week to fish for strloeit hi tho surf. William Barth, of Philadelphia, Is anxiously awaiting tho word of th first catch of channel bass nt Corson's to bet ter his catch of last year, a 62-pound bass Thirteen largo klngfish and two large black drum wero Innded by Bright Welsh nnd Mr. Itodgcrs, of Philadelphia, while fishing In the surf at Ocean City, N. J, Whllo fishing In tho surf at Cape May for channel bass, Tom Brown, of Phila delphia, landed a monster stlngaree that tipped tho scales at 40 pounds. While Mr. Brown was kept busy playing thl. fish, his friend, Lester Wittenberg, landed Bomo fino weakflsh. An eight-pound black drum was caught last week by Frank Hodson, of Phlla dclphla, whllo fishing In tho Biirf at Ocean City, N. J. Dr. A. P. J, O'Harra, who took third prize In last year's Field and Stream channel bass contest with a catch of 62 pounds 8 ounces, beached a 53-pound black drum last Sunday at Avalon, N. J, Tho fish gavo Doctor O'Harra an unusual fight. Ho was all of 50 minutes In land ing him. A monster stlngaree, with a doubts stinger on his tall, weighing 75 pounds, created a lot of excitement when ho con nected with Doctor O'Harra's hook. It was all of an hour's fighting until the Doctor could bring this monster close enough In shoro so that he could be brought to gaff. Stlngarees of this de scription must be handled with the utmos care, ns they aro capable of Inflicting a very ugly wound with their stinger that Is fastened at tho base of tho body, and which will easily penetrate a rubber boot. Wilson M. Candlcss landed the baby drum of this senson at Avalon. It weighed eight pounds. Mr. G. A. Bergner, who has been fishing tho surf at Avalon since the 1st of May, has caught to dato four black drum and ono channel bass. Mr. Bergner fishes for the largo game flsh only, and has many big catches to his credit Captain Nlckerson, of the life-saving crew at Avalon, last week landed a 36 pound channel bass at Avalon.
