OLD TANTALUS DANGLES NO-IUT
GAMES GALORE BEFORE ALEXANDER
No Pitcher in Game Has Cone So Near Mark So Many Times
As Phillies' Star Watty Schang Becomes
I Permanent Third Baseman for Athletics,
When Zack Wheat smashed his single between first nml second In tho
eighth Inning of Saturday's gamo It was tho, second occasion on which Alex
ander tho Great has been deprived of n perfect gamo under Identical conditions,
ntid tho fourth time that ho Just failed to turn In a nohlt performance.
Saturday's game found Alexander close to tho perfect mark, but It was not
so near as ho camo to turning tho trick In Uoston In September of 1911. Only
ono man reached first on Alexander that day, and ho did not deserve to get
there,
In that game Alexander had retired Boston In order for seven Innings,
but In tho eighth, "Doc" Miller, nftorward with tho Phillies, hit a slow bounder
between tho pltchor's box nnd third base. Either Alexander or Lobcrt could
havo fielded the ball easily, but Lobert called that ho would tako It nnd then
backed away, giving Miller, n slow runner, a base hit. Ho was tho only
player trf reach first, and but two balls were hit out of tho Infield, and no hard
chances wcro offered tho Phllly fielders.
Twice Before Alexander Just Missed Mark
Just three weeks ago Alexander missed a no-hlt gamo when, with two men
out In tho ninth Inning, Uutlcr, of tho Curdlnuls, dropped a "Texas Leaguer" Into
centro nnd spoiled a marvelous performance. Two years ago Larry Doylo got
a scratch single off Alexander, and this was tho only hit the Giants had. If
tver a pitcher deserved a no-hlt gnmc, Alexander Is tho man, nnd going nt his
present clip It would bo no great mirprlso It ho should bo successful beforo tho
closo of tho present season.
Those who witnessed Saturday's game dcclaro that they never saw a pitcher
with so much stuff. Not only did Alexander have his usual great speed and won
derful curve ball, but ho nlso had such great control that ho did not oven bother
wasting many pitches. Ho simply put tho ball Just where he wanted It to go
throughout tho game. i
Phillies Face Hard Series With Boston Braves
This week will be a critical one for the Phillies, but tho team appears to bo
well prepared for It. Brooklyn has always been a hard club for tho Phillies slnco
1013, when eight , straight defeats nt tho hands of the Dodgers put tho Phillies out
of tho pennant race, and Moran Is particularly anxious for victories In tho next
two games. It must also bo remembered that It Is n different Phllly team this
Beason, nnd ono that contains a bunch of gamo and very enthusiastic players,
something that could not bo Bald of tho team that fell out of tho raco so suddonly.
Tho gameness of tho Phillies was proved conclusively when tho team camo
back bo strong after tho poor start on tho road trip. That was tho real test and
turning point of tho season for Moran'n men, nnd when they camo back strong
after a bad start, thoy passed what Is likely to prove tho hardest spot In tho
campaign. It was the spot that was feared by those who rcfuso to become excited
over a fast start by a Phllly tram, and tho fact that Manager Moran kept his
head and the pitchers continued their grand work presages good things for tho
future.
Stallings' Team Has Not Had Best of Pitching
Starting Wednesday, the Thlllles meet tho Braves, and this series is ono
that Is to be feared. The Braves aro due to start on a winning streak If they
are to bo In the race, and thcro is no reason for considering Stallings' team
out of tho running. Boston has been In very much the same position ns the
Phillies to date, only that, tho Braves' pitchers have not held up their end so well.
Boston has been In a bad batting slump, barring a few weeks, but, like tho
Phillies, tho Braves possess too many natural hitters to remain In the slump
much lopger. Batters Ilko Magce, Schmidt, Smith, Connolly and Gowdy are
not likely to remain in the slump long, nor will Cravath, Becker, Byrne, Ludcrus,
Whltted, Nlehoff, Bancroft and Klllefer leave runners stranded on tho bases much
longer. Tho Phillies havo been consistent In getting tho first batsmen on base,
and It Is only a question of time when the break will arrive, and they will cut
loose nn avalanche of base hits.
With Alexander In great shape and a particular "Jinx" to tho Braves,
Manager Moran Is not worrying much about the series. It is likely that Alex
will open the series on Wednesday and go back again on Saturday, unless the
Phils havo three in a row. In that case, another twlrlcr will bo used, with
I Alexander In reserve for the afternoon camo next Monday against tho Giants.
' Cubs and Cardinals
(The Cubs havo been going along nt a dizzy clip, and tho Cardinals have
been doing almost as well, but reports from the West state that both teams havo
shown unmistakable signs of slowing up, and the recent series between tho two
clubs resulted in some poor ball that was criticised freely by tho press. If
these reports aro true, the Phillies' chances aro much brighter, as Moran's team
is duo to increase its speed on tho home lot.
Wnlly Schang to Be Permanent Third Baseman
Tho switch of Wally Schang to third base is to bo permanent, according to
Manager Mack. In tho future McAvoy and Lapp will look after the catching,
though it Is possible that Schang nnd Malone may alternate at third for tho
remainder of tho season in order to give tho young collegian a chance to be in
tho game.
Malone was removed from the the gamo because Mack feared that he might
lose confidence in himself, as the pitchers had been bothering him with curve
bails quite a lot of late. Starting the 1916 season, Schang will be the regular
third baseman, and will spend all of his tlmo this season getting accustomed to
the position.
"How do you like third base?" Wally Schang was asked after his first day
at Baker's corner in Washington.
"Great. It is Just like n, vacation," answered Schang.
"Stuffy" Mclnnls is batting at a terrific clip. He has had two hits per game
for the last 8 games, except Saturday, and then he got three. Lajolo showed
that the enforced layoff has not affected his batting eye, and he is also keeping
step with Mclnnls and Strunk.
Eddie Plank and "Chief" Bender staged their much advertised pitching
duel In Baltimore on Saturday, with the veteran southpaw tho winner by the
ucore of S to 0. Plank allowed but three hits, whllo Bender was touched for
11. Tho Indian waa tho wonder of old in tho pinches, however, and had
his support not wobbled badly he would not have been scored upon.
Joe Bush's brilliant work in Washington waa tho best the speed merchant
has shown this season. Ho walked two men only and did not allow a hit
nfter the third Inning. A few more games of that calibre nnd Bush will
probably be back in his 1013 form.
It Is seldom that a pitcher will admit when he is going wrong, but Joe
Wood did on Saturday, when, he deliberately walked out of the box after ho
passed two men and filled tho bases in the ninth Inning. Joe had held New
York to one scratch hit up to the ninth inning, but felt himself slipping and
told Carrlgan to send in another pitcher. Mays went In and retired the next
three men with but one run scoring;
Hyman Pearlstone, the Palestine, Texas, fan, is with the Athletics In
Washington. He takes one trip, around tho circuit with the Athletics each
season and is a great favqrlte with the players, Emery Tltman will Join
the team Jn Boston and will go around the West to rodt for the Mackmen.
Tbey are a great pair of fans.
.
Nick Young, Ex-League President, Dying
NicH Young, president of the National League for almost 20 years and recog
nised as one of the greatest men aver connected with the game, Is dying at his
li-.Bie in Washington. Physicians attending Young declare that he cannot live
'aore than a wak. Young resigned as president of the National because he
realized that he was becoming too old, and caused his secretary, Harry Pulliam,
to be elect. Ttoa latter afterward met a tragic death, and John Heydler stepped
into the brMfe until To Lynch was persuaded to try hie hand.

PHILADELPHIA BALL TARK, June
Z8.-Fat Wllbort Koblnson tried to pull a
wheozer Dell on not so fat -Pat Mornn
today by sending; young Sherrod Smith,
of tho widely known family of that name,
In to pitch. Sherrod Is a. recruit. So was
Dell tho lost ' tlmo the trolley dodgers
from the city across the rlvor from Now
York camo to Phllly park, but Dell Rot
out of that class by winning1 his Rnmo
easily.
Byrne, tho first man up, throw away
a perfectly Rood hit by Rolnp Into a sound
sloep off first base In tile first Inning, and
Bancroft, who cot to first on a. wild throw,
died stealing, so that Sherrod had noth
ing against him In tho first. .
Out In tho bleachers today the nun
shono with blistering severity nnd tho
fans nil shed tbelr coats. Undoubtedly
It was Ideal babcball weather for tho men
who sell pop bottles and lemonade, nlBo
tho Ico crenm butchers. But It was so
hot on the roof of tho big Ford plant
that tho fans who wntchod tho gnmo from
that lofty perch got in tho shadow of tho
smokestack and stayed there.
Illxoy pushed In a run for Brooklyn In
tho second inning by being six feet six
Inches tall. A man was on third nt tho
time, and McCarty bounced tho pill off
lllxey glovo. If ho hadn't been so tall
tho ball would havo gono ovor his head
and Nlcholt could have fielded It for
tho third out, but nixcy Just touched It,
deflecting Its naturat course nnd a run
( cd.
Tno old habit of advising tho pitcher Is
still strong In the Brooklyn Infield. In
between his pitches today Smith's shellac
oars were filled by each of tho Inllold.
If ho does nil Iio'b told to do he'll be a
wonder. Jnko Daubcrt Is tho most gar
rulous of tho whole Brooklyn team, but
tho others get Jealous when they see
him whispering words of wisdom to tho
moundsman nnd nil follow suit.
Byron, tho umpire with the namo of a
poot, paid a little visit to lllxey In tho
third Inning, trotting all tho way down
to tho pitcher's box to sco If Eppa was
standing on tho Blab whllo ho was pitch
ing to O'Mara. Ho was loudly cheered
meaning Byron by tho fans,
Bancroft was chased out of tho game
by Umpire Eason In the third because ho
got mad at his glove. Tho reason why ho
got mad nt tho Inoffemlltig bit of leather
was that when ho tagged Wheat out ns
tho latter was .stealing second, Eason
saia vvneat was safe. Accordingly, It be
ing against tho rules and regulations to
throw tho umpire to the ground nnd step
on his face, Bancroft did It to hla glove.
With fine chivalry, Eason came to the
defense of the glove. He glared at Ban
croft, who picked up tho utensil nnd
throw it down again. At this Eason's
blood boiled. He could not stand by Idly
and see tho glovo suffer, so out of the
gamo went Bancroft, Stock tnklng his
place.
1 For somo time things looked promising
for a mix-up. because Bancroft refused
to get off tho Held, but at length ho went.
Stock came to bat In the Phillies' half of
tho same Inning nnd bent out nn Infield
hit. Byrne, who hnd walked, tnklng sec
ond, but nothing happened In tho way of
a score, as Nlehoff forced Stock.
When the score stood four to nothing
In favor of the Trolleydodgers In the fifth.
tho fans gave Itlxcy a great hand when
ho came to bat, most of the runs having
registered because of sloppy support
rather than poor pitching. Moran sent
Demarco out to warm up when tho runs
were counting, but did not call on hlin
at that time.

ability can accomplish It, Norman Taber
the former Brown University miter ami
now a Ithodcs scholar at Oxford will

the mile run before the summer ends
Taber proved that ho Is better than over

lnJlon2.0 hls a"emDta at record-breaking
has Taber run his first threouarters
properly, and he will never get the record
until ho docs, becnuso ho Is not the fin
isher that Jones was. On Saturday, he
spoiled his chances by running his first
quarter In a fraction of a Bocond over a
minute. Ho should have run It In 67 or It
seconds, tho half In at least 2:05 and the
three qunrtors In 3:12, This would have
given him 02 seconds In which to finish
his rnco Insldo tho world record. In 151.1
Tabor was tho runncr-Up to Jones when
tho lattor did 4:H 2-5. Taber made tho
mistake then of not setting tho paco him

That day tho first three-quarters were
run In 3:tC 2-5. Jones sprinted tho last
quarter In the phenomenal tlmo of 53 sec
onds, whllo Tabor could not do bettor than
62, Tnber will try for Jones' mark at
San Francisco next month. If weather
