CLEVELAND STRONG
LEE FOHL, OF THE McGRAW TYPE,
HOLDS WHIP OVER CLEVELANDERS
Scrappy Leader of Indians lias Coached Some of Game' Most
Briltianl Pitchers; May Be Permanent Manager Novices
at Golf Hurt by Too Much Advice.
Le Fohl, Cleveland's new manager, Is a scrappy man, of the Mcdrnw type.
d 8tand Bood chance of continuing ft- manager, nlthougr , he 8 ''
only until arrangement could bo made for ho purcha.e of n Xeleran from
nnothcr American LeaRUe club. The general lmp.lon that deo go Mc
Hrlde, of Washington, wb to have the position, If the Senators get out of the
raco and OrlflUh can be induced to part with him. ,,.,,
The Cleveland players are teller satlsned Hh Kohl than they haVO,,oe
With any previous leader since Lojole was deposed In 1909. and therein lies
chance for success. When Blovall was appointed to succeed Jim McQ utre .
eral players took an Immediate dislike to his methods and .how of "
and despite the fact that the team Improved Its standing greatly during Btovall
regime, ITesldent Somers releised him to prevent the club from being wrecked
with dissension,
4
Managers Have Had Stormy Time In Cleveland
Harry Davis, ouo of the most popular men In the game nmong players, found
the clique at Cloveland so strong that he resigned his position In less than three
months, and Birmingham, v,ho followed, has also lost out because of thta"une
dissension. Hlrmlngham had more chance to make good than his predecessors,
artd for a time It seemed that ho was to be a success, but a few weeks ago
Burners was forced to dispense with him.
In nppolntlng Fohl as temporary leader, Bomcrs had an object. He Is not so
positive as to Kohl's managerial ability, but he was aware of his popularity with
the players and of his ability to develop young players. It Is the opinion or the
leading members of the club that Kohl Is due to surprleo the wise ones by being
one of the game's best leaders In time. If grit and fighting spirit, coupled with
good, hard common sense, nmount to much, Kohl will do.
t
Fohl Has Turned Out Krllliant Pitchers
Krom the time ho broke Into baseball. Kohl has been known for his fighting
spirit and baseball head. He was never a Btar as a player, and had one brief
trial -with Pittsburgh In 1902, but was sent back to the minor leagues. He was
born In Pittsburgh on November 28, 1879, and started his professional career in
the Interstate League In 1889. Ho was three years at East Liverpool before ho
went to Pittsburgh, and then tried his hand at managing.
Fohl turned out many pennant winners In the Ohio and Pennsylvania and
Ohio State Leagues, nnd was finally signed by Owner Somers to look after the
Waterbury club, of tho Connecticut League. He was with Waterbury until this
spring, when Somers called him to Cleveland to act as coach of the pitchers.
Fohl was a catcher, and has turned out so many star twlrlers that Somers
believed that ho could do the same at Cleveland. Some of tho men turned out
by Fohl In recent years are duy Morton and Elmer Smith, the brilliant young
outfielder, of the'lndlans; Wllllo Doak, of tho Cardinals; Gerbcr and Mamaux,
of Pittsburgh, and numerous other lesser lights.
A Game In Which "Ifs" Looked So BIr
After pulling out of three bad holes by tho greatest pinch pitching seen at
Bhlbo Park Itt several seasons, Joe Bush lost control In tho eighth inning and
handed Cleveland a victory. It was a hard game for Hush to lose and one that
might have been turned Into a victory several times by one little break of luck
or an "If."
The "lfs" were most apparent In the eighth Inning. Chapman started off
this Inning for Cleveland by drawing a pass, but he would not have drawn this
pass If Umpire Nallln had seen. two pitches In the same manner that tho crowd
did. Then, after Wood' fanned. Bush passed Graney. and a double steal was
started. Lapp's throw was good and Chapman would havo been nailed at third
If Kopf had put the ball on him properly. Smith was tho hitter, and ho was
also struck out, according to tho fans, but, after being given a life, ho singled
to centre, scoring Chapman, but Graney was caught at tho plate on Strunk's
fine throw to Lapp. Smith scored, however, on Wambsganss' double to deep left.
...
When the Athletics Had Their Chance to Win
This was the hit that won the game. The Athletics had an excellent chance
of tying or winning In tho ninth If Eddie Murphy had kept his head up. Murphy
started this Inning by beating out a slow bounder to Turner. In trying to catch
Murphy at first, Turner threw past Wood to the stand. Murphy did not watch
the ball and failed to sco that Catcher O'Ncil had very cleverly backed up Wood.
He started for second, and O'Nell's throw beat him several feet. Walsh was
passed a minute later, and the whole aspect of the game might havo been
changed If there had been two men on bases and one out, Instead of two out and
b man on first, when Llcbold pulled down Mclnnls' long drlvo in deep centre for
the third out. Perhaps If Murphy had remained on first and waited for a sacrifice
to send him to second, Mitchell might not havo pulled out of the hole.
.
Indians Far From Weak Club
Cleveland played like anything but the weak club the fans were expecting,
and It was a fine game from a spectator's standpoint. Several times it seemed
' certain that the Athletics were duo to score, but great plays by tho Cleveland
Infield and outfield cut down apparently Bure hits. Terry Turner, the grand old
veteran, made several startling plays, the best being a stop back of second that
deprived Mclnnls of a hit and the Athletics of two runs, as there were runners
on second and third at the time.
Chapman made the most spectacular Individual play of the game, when ho
captured Kopf's smoking drlvo In deep short and threw to Turner, forcing
Malone. Lapp was on third at the time, and It looked like a certain run. The
Cleveland captain had his head about him when he threw to second, as there was
no chance for him to head off Kopf after being thrown out of position in handling
the ball. Young Malone handled several plays in a clean-cut manner, his stop
off Chapman In the Bixth being the fielding feature from an Athletics' stand
point. Throws by Walsh and Strunk, however, were also praiseworthy.
' Too Much Advice Hurts Golfers
An ambitious golfer generaly takes too much advice. The result is disas
trous at the very outset, for there comes a maze of conflicting ideas, and the
embryo Ouimet finds himself as much at sea as if he had never handled a golf
stick. When a fellow stands over a ball and has 20 different things to think
about, It Is not at all surprising that he should top his drive. It Is well to know
golf rules. Paying attention to too many suggestions, however, has discouraged
many a promising bit of timber.
Jess Wlllard, world's heavyweight champion, has the opportunity of a life
time within his grasp, and maiy of his admirers bellevo he is losing valuable
public ground. The public likes a champion to fight, and Wlllard, though "afraid
of no living man," does not appear to be so eager for battle, it might be a
whole lot better If he displayed some of those Ideals of sportsmanship of which he
boasts, and not be so intent In his pursuit of cash. A contest with Jim Coffey,
or one of the other heavies of the country, at least would show that he Is willing
to use his flsts. There would bo some money In it, probably more than showing
In a Wild West entertainment.
.
Bush Gives Wonderful Pitching Exhibition
With the bases full In the sjxth Inning and not a man retired, It looked
like a thousand-to-one bet that Cleveland would get a run or two, but BuBh
gave a wonderful exhibition of twirling ut the expense of three of Cleveland's
best hitters. Ha fanned Wood on three pitched balls, forced Graney to
pop a weak fly to Barry and therf burned three strikes across on Smith.
m
lrt the seventh Bush came through with another grand exhibition. Cleve
land had runners on second and third and not a man retired, but could not
score. Mitchell raised a fly in short left, which Walsh captured, and held
Wambsganss on third; Heboid fanned and Turner rolled an easy grounder
to Malone. Seldom has such an exhibition of pinch pitching been given In
this city.
Some of the fans are Inclined to blame Jack Lapp for many of the stolen
bases In recent games, but it has not been Lapp's fault. The Athletics
pitchers are winding up too much, while the tagging of runners at third has
not been all that it should be.
i
The ghlUIsa are back In first place, thanks to Grover Cleveland Alex
ander antt?red LjMJerus. It was the second time that Alexander has beaten
tbe Cubs and tUBttjjad them out qf first plage. The game was a hard one,
Jjpwevar. as Alexander weakened a trifle toward the finish.

In
Cobb life where
have been an easy
Onco In a while even the pessimist must
admit Hint In this morose world truo
worth draws Its full vnlue We'll take,
for example, Ablllty-or Kfllclency. Abil
ity hna a double value. It works not only
for Itn possessor, but also against his
opponent.
Evidence on the Subject
By wa of Introducing evidence, there
is Ty Cobb, whom you may have heard
of before. Cobb has the ability to get
down to first with amazing velocity. This
ability would bo of assistance In many
cases, even when the ball was hnndled
cleanly. But It also has the tendency to
make an Inflelder hurry tno piay, scram'
ble It up and glvo Mr.
ordinarily he would
out
"This Cobb Is a lucky guy," we hcarcj a
fan remark recently. "The Inflelders are
always fumbling his hits." There's no
luck to it. The fumbles result from nn
Innate knowledge that If tho ball Isn't
hnmllcd both swiftly and cleanly Cobb
will beat the play. Cobb's ability is
thereby drawing double dividends.
More Evidence
The same Is true In other lines. Tho
aernge golfer 13 likely to play much
worse against Travers or Travis than
against normal producers of maahles,
shots nnd putts. When you know tho
other fellow Isn't likely to make many
mistakes the strain begins early and
grows In Intensity. There are any num
ber of sports where nil the champion has
to do on numerous occasions is to mark
time and permit his opponent to bent him
self. Whls his opponent Is very often
inclined to do under the stress of facing
an abundance of ability In the opposing
trench. Bo In any game efficiency earns
interest. And the interest Is deserved.
It may be perfectly proper for a bloke
to bite off his nosa to spite his face, but
isn't John Franklin Baker In the act of
biting off his face?
It Is nothing short of a. crime with the
Yanks yearning so for ono lusty swats
man to have Baker's batting eye fo
cussed on a lot of cabbages and onions.
Yet such Is life, according to authentic
reports.
In Which We Win nn Argument
N'ot long ago we figured up our per
centage In sportive arguments. The rec
ords showed that out of 15,759 we had
lost 15.783 and tied 1. That is, so far as
convincing the other entry was con
cerned. At last we have one victory to our
credit, nnd the win Is over Hughey Jen
nlnus "How." remarked Jennings, "do you
figure this play? Thore nre base runners
on first nnd third; they start a double
steal with two out. Tho man on third
crosses tho plate nnd one stop later they
get the runner going to second. Does
the run count?"
"Sure," we answered.
"But It doesn't," said Hughey, "unless
they get the man going to second In a
chase. If ho tries to go straight through
with the steal the run doesn't go, though
tho man on third was over the plate be
fore the other man was retired."
We appealed to Col. Joe Jackson, presi
dent of tho B. B. Writers' Association.
He overruled Jennings. Hughey then took
a new nppcnl to Silk O'Loughlln, nnd
Silk also ruled ngnlnst him When Inst
even tho Tiger manager was willing to
cnll It a draw. Which shows how easy
It Is to win nn argument, no matter what
the rules and records slip to your side
of tho case.
Europe's Luck
Dear sir A number of people have been
writing and talking around us as to how
much luckier the United States wbb than
Kurope. But I have Just observed that a
wrestling revival Is to be stnrlcd In this
country. If thnt Is so, I fall to see where
the luck Is with us to any very great ex
tent. If there Is any edge, I believe Eu
rope gets It. PLATO PETE.
Another Argument
Sir I had an argument with a friend
of mine tho other day to this effect I
claim Donlo Bush, of Detroit, 1b a greater
shortstop thnn Rabbit Maranvllle, of Bos
ton. Who wins? L. L. F.
BuBh and Maranvllle are about as closo
to 60-50 as you can got two stars. Both
are great Inflelders, covering unusual
amounts of territory. Both are good, hard
fighters, always in the gamo and always
hustling. Both nre fast, with Bush hav
ing tho edge. Maranvllle Is a slightly bet
ter bntsmnn, although in this respect
neither Is a supertype. It may be that
Maranvllle Is a trifle bit more spectacular.
But Bush is a better man to entice a
base on balls from a pitcher. In this re
spect being on a par with Miller Hug
gins. But the edge Is hardly distinct
enough to give cither tho award although
any shade would belong to the Brave
midget.
According to Owner Gaffney, of the
Braves, Johnny Evers will be out another
month. Johnny has hurdled more than
his share of ragged fate, and some day
there must be n limit. It is a question
as to how effective he will be when ho
returns and the Braves minus Evers can
almost appreciate how the Tigers .feel
without Ty.

BASEBALL
SIDELIGHTS
Cleveland has a promlslng-looklng
youngster In Elmer Smith, who led the
Eastern Association In hitting last year.
He had a double and single yesterday.
Wambsganns Is not an animal, but
Cleveland's clever young third baseman.
It was Wamby'e double that sent tho
winning run across the plate.
Wood and Mitchell collided In going
after Kopf's fly In the fifth Inning, and
Bill got credit for a lucky single,
The Mackmen had the bases full In the
fifth, when Craney made a shoe-string
catch of Barry's line drive to right centre.
Mitchell did not seem to have nearly
so much (Deed as he had on former visits.
His control was excellent, however, and
he was strong In the plnohes.
Strunk and Lpp got credit for doubles
on drives that' were ordinary singles.
Smith slipped In fielding one, whlla
Graney overran Lapp's hit In his anxiety
to make a play at the plate for Strunk.
Jack Lapp's second double, which
sailed far over Granes head to tha
riaht'fleld fence, was one of the longest
hits Jack has made since 1310, when ha
was known as a demon slugger.
Chapman and O'Nell both got hits on
balls that tool; bad bounds. Many balls
have bounded poorly in the Infield re
cently, an unusual thing In the usually
well-kept diamond.

preparation for the climax of his careor
June 28 On that day he will attempt to
breast tho tides between Cape Charles
and Cape Henry, on the Chesapeake Bay.
It will be his last public swim.
Durborow remarked that It was but ft
Jaunt compared with tho one ho will take
next Sunday. The average swimmer
would hardly be able to make a 18-mlIo
swim on a bet, yet Durborow, the bank
clerk athlete, can do It without great
effort. In 30 or 40 mllen he might be able
to get up a perspiration, but not In a
paltry matter of 16. .....
Durborow will leave Philadelphia for
Capo Charles on Wednesday, Juno 23, and
will tako a tow miles of exercise In the
Chesapeake before ho makes his great
and final effort the following Saturday.
From Capo Charles to Cape Henry Is but
II! miles aB tho crow files, but bucking
swift currents of tho bay will probably
cause the amphibious athlete to cover
cloeo to 10 miles. Such a little thing as
40 miles Is not a frightful task for Dur
borow. The nverago man 10 miles from
shoro nnd having to swim, would much
prefer to sink at once and be over It than
attempt such n stunt

Tho wonderful work of Tyrus Cobb In
nil departments this season has caused
moro comment than any other event In
baseball, unless It has been tho surpris
ing Showing of the Phillies. Cobb has
always been a marvel at batting and on
tho bases when he cared to extend him
self, but slnco tho overthrow of tho
Tigers by tho Athletics In 1910 Cobb has
been accused many times of not trying
his utmost In any department except
battlns.
With a chance for another pennant and
another shnro In the world's series at De
troit, Cobb Is tho Cobb of old, and, added
to his own rare ability as a player, he
has an Interest In tho team play of the
Tigers that he never possessed before.
It Is estimated by Detroit scribes that
Cobb's Individual brilliancy has been re
sponsible for at least one-third of the
Tigers' victories to date. Ho has always
been popular in this city and, barring
1914, has played his very best ball In this
city.
Desplto the fact that he has always
been a troublesome man for the Athletics
nnd knocked tho Mackmen out of a pen
nant by tying tho score with a home run
drive In the ninth inning of that famous
17-lnnlng tie gnme of 1907, Cobb has more
friends In this city than any town on
the circuit.
These friends have arranged a testimo
nial for tho famous "Georgia Peach" lor
Saturday, and tho Shrlners, headed by
W. Freoland Kendrlck, Receiver of
Taxes, will bo out In full force to welcome
their favorite. Kendrlck Is chairman of
the committee in charge of tho testimo
nial, and boxes have been reserved for all
Shrlners who nre coming from nearby
towns to welcome the "greatest player In
tho world," as Connie Mack expresses JL
