POSTPONED GAMES REAL JINX
OF BASEBALL; MAGICS CRIPPLES
Record of Season, Worst in Years, Accounts for Slim Financial
Returns Athletics in Bad Plight Phillies Make
Poby Start on the Road.
When Dan Johnson ridiculed Onrry Herrmann's cry of hatd times In
baseball, the American Lengue president blamed the lack of pntronnge and
the failure of some, clubs to have as much money In, their coffers us they
have In thepast tb the unusual number of postponements because of bad
weather. The American League chief knew what ho was talking about when
lie said that the baseball leagues had never had so many postponements
this early In the season.
Including the games scheduled up tb today, there have been 79 post
poned games In the. three major leagues and but six of these have been
played oft to dale. If the fans enjoy double-headers for one admission ns
much ns the magnates believe, nil of tho clubs should profit In the long run,
hts the string of two for one admission days will start shortly.
Federals Also Suffer From Postponements
Tho Federal .League has suffered more than cither the National or Amer
ican Leagues in tho matter of postponements, but that Is probably due to
Iho fact that they were scheduled to open their campaign a week earlier
nnd ran Into almost a. solid week of rnln. The Feds have had -IS postpone
ments, while the National Is next with 30. The Americans hino been lucky
In this respect and have but 2B, and fortunately for local fans, who generally
tire of double-headers, there are but three left for the Athletics after today.
The complete list of postponed games follows: Federal League St. Louis,
12; Chicago, 11; Buffalo, 11; Pittsburgh, 9; Brooklyn. 9; Newark, 8; Haiti
more, S Kansas City, 8. National League New York, 9; Pittsburgh, S;
Phillies, 8; Cincinnati, 8; Brooklyn, 8; Boston, 7; Chicago, 6; St. Louis, 6.
American League Boston, 10; Cleveland, 8; Washington, 7; Now Yoik, 7;
St. Louis, 6; Athletics, -J; Chicago, 4, nnd Detroit, 4.
Shawkcy Should Have Won, but
Five runs proved of no valun to the Athletics again. This number should
win eight out of every ten games played, but with such pitching as the Mack-
men have had to date, they cannot get an even break on five tallies. Shawkcy
was on the mound for the Athletics, and ns he has been the most consistent
man on Mack's staff, this number should have been sufficient, but tho Bed Sox
hit hlir. hard throughout, and he helped them along with two bad throws In
the first inning and two bases on balls In the ninth, These slip-ups by Shawkcy
Save Boston six runs, wnlch were enough to win.
Aside from tho fourth Inning, when the Athletics rallied at tho expense of
Mayes and tallied five runs, they never had much of a chance to tcore except
in tho eighth Inning, when Thompson was doubled at the plate trying to scord
on a flv to short right. Wagner pulled down this fly nnd made a lino throw
to Thoinai, Just catching tho Athletics' outfielder. It was a good chance for
Thompson to take, as Wagner had made two poor pegs earlier in tho game, and
is admittedly a poor thrower.
Job Wood relieved Mayes at tho end of tho fourth Inning, and pitched flno
ball. Ho looked to be In better shape than he has been at any time, though
Mill not quite as fast as tho Wood of 1912. In his five Innings, Wood was
found for fours hits, but kept them scattered through as many Innings, and was
never in trouble but once.
Loss of Schang Serious to Athletics
The loss of tho gnmo was of little consequence to tho Athletics compared
to tho loss suffered through the accident to Wally Schang. In tagging Hob
lltzel at the plate, Schang was spiked Just above the knee, and will not be
able to play for thrco weeks. The spikes of the Boston first baseman gave
Schang a gash about two Inches long and one Inch. deep. He could not have
been torn worse had Hoblltzcl worn knives In his shoes. It was entirely acci
dental, and the Boston first baseman could not have avoided the collision.
The Clean Ones Get Hurt, but
IX is a pity that a clean player like Schang should bo the victim of nn In
evltabre accident while other catchers who deliberately block the plate and en
danger base runners, seem to be Immune from Injuries of this sort. With
Jfolnnls out of the game with a broken nose and Strunk badly spiked, tho Ath
letics jvlll be in sad straits for some time to come, though the return of lie
Innls is expected any day now. McAvoy will do the catching, with Lapp on
first Tho latter has done well at Mclnnls' corner, but tho return of the best
first sacker' In tho game will naturally be a big help.
The team could spare any other player better than Schang at this time.
Manager Mack has hopes of the pitching staff rounding Into form within a
week's time, and the presence of Schang behind the plate is a necessity. Tho
youngsters will not have nearly so much confidence with McAvoy or Lapp
doing tho receiving as they would with Schang, and confidence is an absolute
necessity to the pitchers at this time.
m m
Phillies Off to Pad Start on Road
Johnny Evers' return to the Braves in tho capacity of manager during
George Stalltngs' illness evidently had a good effect on tho world's cham
pions, Judging by the way they trounced the Phillies twice. Tho two defeats
were a severe blow to the Phillies, particularly as Alexander was one of the
pitchers to fall. This eliminates the wonderful twirlcr for tho series with
tho Braves, except as a relief pitcher, as it Is hardly likely that Moran will
iend him back to tho mound on Monday with a hard scries with Brooklyn,
following the double-hender in Boston, on Mem rial Day.
Both games looked like victories for tho Phillies' until the closing in
nings, while the second game appeared to be a cinch until Rlxey blew up.
Chalmers went to his rescue, but too lato to stem tho tide, as tho Braves had
found their stride before Rlxey retired.
hits off Bill James, but could tally only
on bases by the Phillies in each game
Southpaw Really Beat the Phillies
The Phillies at last succumbed to a .southpaw, George Tyler, thr. Braves'
star left-hander turning the trick in tho first game of the double-header. Tho
Phillies were helpless before Tyler when he managed to get the ball over the
plate, and allowed but three singles. It was tho best performance a southpaw
hna given against the Phillies In two seasons, barring one game pitched by
IUaro.uc.rd early In 1914. Tyler's victory was all tho moro creditable because
his poor control had him In mnny tight places that required skilful work to
St out of, and three times he retired the third man with the bases full. Eleven
bases on balls were given, and 14 Phllly players were left stranded on tho bases.
The fact that Shcrwoqd Magee won tho game for the Braves by scoring three
runners vlth a double in the last half of tho seventh inning made the defeat
particularly distasteful, as Ma gee's drive camo Just when Alexander was due
to pull through with his ninth victory of the season.
The Real Wild Man of Baseball, Harper
Harry Harper,- the youthful southpaw, sent to Minneapolis by Washington
lor further seasoning, has pitched three games for Minneapolis, and all of them
were remarkable affairs In their way. In his first game he etruck out 16 bats
men, walked 12, made three wild pitches, and although he allowed but seven hits,
ha -was beaten, 9 to 6, In hla second game Harper allowed but four hits, but
was beaten, 11 to 1, because he walked 15 menand hit another. In this game ho
truck out eight batsmen.
Harper's third game resulted In a no-hit, no-run victory that was one of the
most remarkable in baseball. He walked eight men and made a balk, while his
teammates erred three times, but Harper fanned 12 men and was never threat
ened seriously. Thus Jn three games Harper ha8 allowed 11 hits, but his
opponents have scored 20 runs; he has walked 35 men, an average of almost 12
to a. game; has struck out 36 men and has made one balk and three wild pitches.
If there was ever a more weird and erratic pitching exhibition in baseball it
lias not been recorded,
Another remarkable minor league game was played at Richmond, between
the Richmond and Rochester clubs of the International League, in this game
the twq Richmond-pitchers walked S men, while three Rochester hurlers Issued
10 passes. To make the game still more wetrd, there were two passed balls, two
vcOA. pitches, 11 errors and 20 hits. The remarkable part of the game was that
but 18 runs were tallied, the game ending in a 9-to-9 tie.

THE REAL JINX OF THE TURNSTILE
"FMNINGHOMUD
The Soul Purgcr
Ttoo out and the bases full
Three runs to lofu and fuo to tic;
Anil then, amid the boding lull,
Looms Crawford of tho batting eye;
1 watch the plfeftcr writho and whirl
And ihoot one from his mounded pen
see the white pill dart and curl
As Crawford's bludgeon swings and
(fteii
In that one momenf through the stands
There runs before tho groans and
cheers
The taut giip of ten thousand hands
The pulse leap q a thousand years;
The one gteat throbbing human call
Above all science, war or love,
As crashing bat meets speeding ball
Or speeding ball meets waiting glove.
Here end the sorrows of the race
All want and wretchedness and crime;
Where Care must seek another place
Where Sin must bide another time;
Here where the heart's wiped clean and
dry
The drudge soul lifted from the pit
For those who wait for the reply
A strike-out or a two-base hitt
All of which brines up a fairly im
portant point which may or may not be
worth a few reels cf comment. This
point doesn't Involve the magnato and
the game or tho player and the game
but the fan and tho game.
The Fan's Side
A day or two ago we heard one or two
people gloating over the fact that base
ball was In something of a slump and
might in time even' drop back as a minor
sport.
The fans figured in their erring philos
ophy that baseball belonged exclusively
tn the club owner and to tho player.
They seemed to llgure that in this way
the too-oftun money lust of magnate and
player was being punished.
.Perhaps It Is. But where there are
probably a hundred or so club owners and
about SOOO professional players, there are
at least 8,000,000 fn.nn in tho U. S. of A.
The club owner and the player get money
out of the game at least the player does
and the club onner used to. But the
8,000,003 fans get their recreation and
pleasure and the game Is theirs above
any others. They are the ones that
would lose most for millions of them
would never be able to find a capable
Bitbatltuto at anything like the same
price.
Not Yet
Baseball may be In a slump, but don't
bet any real money that It Is passing or
waning as a national sport. Tho leading
games of other countries have lasted from
100 to 300 years, Baseball, greater than
any national sport ever Jammed upon the
map. Is only 60 years old. Colonel Ebbetts
was correct. It Is still In Its Infancy.
And some soon day, when the cannon are
silent and prosperity Is back and both
magnate and player have worked out a
mutual status for the general good of all
concerned, baseball, over our 8,000.000
square miles, will be far beyond any po
sition It has ever known In the past.
Which endeth the lesson.
Moss Gatherers
The difference between a bonehead
and a brilliant play merely consists In not
getting, or In getting away with It.

of Miller Hugglns, who Is still regarded as
only a recent addition to tho pastime In
many quarters.
How advanced In age Is Mr. Hugglns?
We are not certain. But at a doublo tip
oft wo happen to recall a game In which
we participated against the Card man
ager, then with the Cincinnati Sham
rocks, back In tho year 1S98 a matter of
some 17 summers ago. And Miller was
husky enough at that dato to run up
two homers and a triple.
"Where would the Phillies be without
Grover Cleveland Alexander?" asks an
exchange. As long ns tho Phillies Btlll
have Grover Cleveland Alexander why
should they begin to shed tears about
playing without him?
The old discussion has been opened
again as to whether Mike Gibbons or
Packey SIcFarland, at their best, should
be ranked In front. Gibbons Is as clever
ns a phantom, but he Is no cleverer than
Packey was three years ago. But thero
nil comparison ends. Gibbons Is heavier
and stronger and packs a wallop several
pounds heavier than any artillery the
Stock Yards Pride ever flrcd at a foe.
At anything llko tho same weight over
the long route the St. Paul gale would
llnlsh five lengths to the good.
Gibbons Is as fine a section of lighting
llesh as the game has ever known, pound
for pound. The only thing ho lacks Is a
bultable rival of the same weight to
make him arise upon his hind legs and
go the limit.
Jerome D. Travers, four times amateur
golf champion, Is to take a few days off
from the Cotton Exchange to make a try

"This will tell," advises a wilter, "what

certain extent. Jerry has found time in
the late afternoons to pound away nt the
pill, proving that golf and business can
be combined If the frenzy of each can
only be held In curb.

campaign. The clean-cut double victory
over the league-leading Phillies Is ex

after he had recovered from the effects
of a fractured ankle.

Alexander on the mound there were few

mares Is considered his likely opponent

the past, and they believe that he will
be Bolved again today.
