EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1915, U i ij.rfWB VAN LOAN'S "LITTLE SUNSET" PHILLIES COMING BACK TO WINNING FORM ONCE MORE PHILLIES SHOW EARLY SEASON.. FORM AGAINST BOSTON BRAVES KELLY TEACHING IT TO -THE WOMEN FOLKS REYNOLDS MARK OF 71 LIKELY TO STAND ON WHITEMARSH COURSl Locals Regaining the Baiting Power Which Sent Them to the Top at Beginning of Year Moran'a Men Wide Awake in Opening Contest With Champions. For tho first time In almost a month, the Phillies showed the offensive form that carried them off to a flying start In tho National League race. Several times Moran's men have made numerous hits and twice have run Bcores Inlo doublo & figures, but this was due largely to poor runs because they returned to tho same stylo or piay mat tney empioyou earner In tho year. Only ten hits were made, but tho entire team was on Its toes and played up-to-date, aggressive, offensive baseball. They took advantago of every little tnlsplay or lapse by tho Braves and had had the world's champions badly rattled, particularly In tho fourth and fifth innings, when bases were left uncovered and tho ball thrown to tho wrong bag On several occasions. That tho chango In tho batting order was a good one Is evident from the fact that only two hits wero wasted. Another good sign was tho confident manner In which the Phillies went about their work. One striking example of this occurred when Bancroft sacri ficed with two strikes and no balls. The play took Bchtnldt by surprise, and tho value of Bancroft's nervy play was apparent a minute later, when Whltted's short fly fell safe, Just out of Maranvllle's reach, and permitted both Alexander and Byrno to score. Had Bancroft failed to sacrifice, tho Infield would have been playing back Instead of In on the grass to cut down tho runner at tho plate, and Whltted's fly would have been nn easy out for Maranvlllo. Phillies Display Abundance of "Pep" Thero wero several other Instances that showed clearly how wide-awake tl o rhlllles wero and Just how much superior a smooth-running attack Is to tho slugging tactics that wero employed for some time. Bcals Becker gavo ono exhibition on tho bases that was the best ho has shown In soma time. He stretched an ordinary Blnglo into a double and continued to third when nobody covered second, simply because ho had his head up and was willing to tuko a chance. Alexander Eases Up After Ho Gets Lead Alexander tho Great twirled for tho Phillies and was always master of tho eltuatlon when he cared to cut loose. After being given a soven-run lead, tho king of pitchers cased up and used but few curve balls. As a result, tho Braves staged several rallies and twlco threatened tho Phillies, but each tlmo Alexander 'cut loose and pulled out of a bad holo. The most critical situation faced by Aloxandcr was In tho ninth Inning, when tho Braves had two men on base, with Teddy Cathor, a long-dlstanco hitter, batting for Shannon. Threo runs wero needed by tho Braves to tlo tho scoro, and Alexander shot threo strikes across on Cather. Until Cather stopped to tho plato Alexander had been taking things easy, and whllo It gavo tho fans a scare, In tho long run it will prove the best thing for this wonderful twirler. One-hit games and close scoro games aro hard on a pitcher. Alexander Is a marvel, but Is only human, and too many closo games may weaken him beforo the closing stages of tho race, when he will bo needed for threo games a week, if necessary. Players Are Taught to Run 'Em Out In basoball the first rule drilled Into youngsters Is to run everything out and to tako advantage of every Uttlo mlsplay, but It did Becm as though it was hardly right for Cravath to travol all tho way to third when Connolly was badly hurt fielding his drive, which was ordinarily only a single. There Is no way pos sible to mako a rulo that would cover a play of this sort, but It struck many of the fans that It would bo good sportsmanship If a batsman would tako only ono base on a similar accident, providing thero wero no runners on baso at tho tlmo the ball was hit. With major league ball players, ono of them would always be fainting or feigning Injury overy tlmo a line drlvo waa hit between tho outfielders If such a feeling prevailed. Connolly was Just about to field Cravath's Hnor, which took a baa bound and struck him In the face. Ho waa knocked unconscious, and Magee ran all the way over to left field to field the ball, while Cravath got a triple out of an ordinary single. The physician who examined Connolly stated that ho had sustained a slight concussion of the brain and his face was badly cut. Hugh Jennings Still Slaking Trouble Will tho American League permit Hughey Jennings to get away with some of his methods of stirring up trouble between rival teamB? It Is time President Johnson acted, as ho threatened to do last winter, when Jennings told that Connlo "Mack had asked waivers on Bender, Plank and Coombs. When waivers aro asked on players It Is supposed to bo absolutely noccssary for all managers who receive this waiver list to keep tho names of tho players strict secret, but Jennings never seems to obscrvo this rulo and has spoiled the plans of several managers who desired to trade players. Not satisfied with telling league secrets, Jennings has started a rumor from Detroit that he is bidding for the services of Wally Schang, tho Ath letics' star. There Is absolutely no chance of Schang leaving tho Athletics, and Manager Mack told tho Eve.vino Ledoeii representative In Washington a few days ago that ho would bo tho team's third baseman In the future. Apparently, tho only reason for Jennings' action is that he wants to breed discontent lntho ranks of tho Mackmon. Thero havo been too many rumor stories started already concerning tho Mackmen, and Manager Mack is In dignant at several managers who aro permitting theso yarns to gain headway by Intimating that they expect to get Barry, Schang and almost any other player upon whom a ocrlbo decides waivers havo been asked. If tho other managers wanted to glvo Mack a square deal they could at least admit that they did not think thero was a chance of several players being let out by Mack. The path of tho Athletic leader has been a hard ono this season, but the fans who havo followed the team since its organization are certain that Mack la hound to como out on top In tho end. Drew Equals Lobert and Cobb'a Record There has alwayB been more or less discussion In regard to the relative speed of Hans Lobert, Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Bert Shotten, Max Care'y and a few other ball players, compared to the leading sprinters of the country, An attempt was made In Los Angeles recently to settle this question. A field day was held for Foclflo Coast League players for the benefit of tho widow of Wallaco Bray, better; known as "Happy" Hogan, tho Venice manager, who died recently. To make the affair a greater success, Howard P. Drew, champion sprinter, was Invited to compete. Drew had never donned a baseball uniform, and was a complete failure at the bunt and run to first base, for time, but In circling the bases Drew equaled the world's record of 13 4-5 seconds, held by Hans Lobert and Ty Cobb, on his first attempt. Drew found It hard to tag tho bags and turn properly, and would We no further chances of Injury after ho had succeeded In equaling the record. The marvelous sprinter proved conclusively that he would be able to break the record with practice, but It was also urged that some of the fastest ball - players could Improve their speed, accordingly, with light running togs Instead of the heavy baseball uniform, which Drew said was a handicap to him. It Was an unfair test, Inasmuch as the greatest of all sprinters was picked out, While the fastest ball player has never really been found, as It Is Impossible to ; have them all compete under similar conditions. Another Bhllly "Jinx" was shattered when George Davis was beaten. This young collegian appeared to have a little something on the Phillies until K yesterday, and in his first major league ting a hit last September, Two particularly effective youngsters havo been Ijbeaten by the Phillies In the last two days, and this will do much toward flinging back the confidence that was on the wane. Davis Just finished a course at Harvard Law School and did not Join the Braves until a week ago. 1 "f It is a pleasure to watch Alexander field his position after seeing the way some pitchers allow victories1 to Blip away because they forget that there Is something more to pitching than merely throwing the ball up to the plate. There are few better fielding pitchers than Alexander, and tho manner In Which he covered first on Gilbert's high bounder to Luderus In the fourth Inning was an excellent example for Eppa Hlxey and several of the Athletlo twlrlers, The retirement of Connolly caused, to left field.

By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN Tha world's most famous writer of baseball fiction "Brick" Jon signs with the Apaches, a major league team. As baggage, ho brings his rea.headed son, John w osloy Jones. Whn his wlfo died Jones promised never to foroako tho child, and so the youngster has lived on basebill diamonds almost all his llfo. "Llttlo Sunset" Is tho nine gttsn to the child. Qua llcrgstrom. tho heaviest hitter of the league, makes a chum of him. "Llttld Sunset" learns to awenr and to understand bnscbnll from the Inside. He demands a shnro In the post-aenson money, tecauso he hasn't missed a game. The next year Bergstrom decides to go Into renl estnte. Ho Is nnslly persuaded to play and report for tho flag-raising. Bergstrom did not answer. Ho had as sisted at several flag raisings during his long and honorable career, and tho sight of a fow dozen bnllplayers In bright now uniforms, bareheaded and furtively chow lng tobacco around a flagpole, was not new to him. Ho remembered to toe off his cap nt tho proper tlmo. but his action was purely mechanical. Gus was won dering whether It would bo wiser to sell his Valley Subdivision outright or cut It up into town lots and open a real cstato oltlce of his own. In tho game which followed tho Terrlblo Swede got away to a flying start, smash ing out a double and a triple and driving four runs across the plate. "The old boy's there!" howled Jordan from tho bonch. "I knew tho old square, head would be all right as Boon as tho season opened!" Tho Apaches congratulated Bergstrom cautiously, and with roverso English, after tho fashion of ballplayers. "If you could only get a hit onco in a "Btrgitrom was recalled from OMo by a stunnlno1 impact while," they said, "you'd tie a real ball player!" "Feel pretty good to hook one again, Gus? If that pitcher hadn't ducked, he'd have been killed!" Bergstrom listened silently. It was all "old stuff" to him. He had heard It so very, very many times and for so many years. . . John Wesley Jones told Bergstrom whnt he really thought. "You big rummy!" said the boy. "That triple ought to have been a home run. I saw you loafing between second and third I Wpe the tears out of your eyes and look at a coacher once In a while!" It had always been John Wesley's privi lege tn "roast" BerBBtrom for his bad plays, but he never allowed any one else to say anything about his big friend. Tho Apaches, by virtue of the preutlge of tho former season, set out to make it a, runaway race, but tho Beds and tho Renegades went after them. The Itene gades had always been a hard club for the Apaches to beat, and this season the Beds had two young pitchers who did not seem to know enough to be afraid of any team in the league, and they were win ning their games with disgusting regu. Bergstrom, steadily growing more and more silent and taciturn, continued to hammer pitchers, but Sea Cow Hamilton developed a sore arm. and Judge Kennedy broke a finger, and with the Apache pitching start thus weakened, the Bene gades ranged alonslde tn mid-season, with the Beds within hailing distance. The Apaches arrived at home for a three weeks' stay, and on the second day there came a letter addressed to Gus tavo Bergstrom. It was an Impossible looking document, typewritten on cloudy Jlnen. and It bore the engraved heading mfasf EVENING LEDGER MOVIES NAY, NAY, PAULINE, AL IS NOT AMONG THOSE PRESENT ou look WOrY Look l Ptn ,T nneiTBD- OH M ff .a.i ..lF I .

"I guess I got to get away for a fow days," said he. "What?" said Myers. "With this series coming on and all?" "I got a loiter hero about somo land," said Gus. "I should go sea about It." "Yes, but think of tho club," said the manager. "You know wo'vo got to stop these fellows or lose first placol Couldn't you wrllo or telegraph?" "This In Important; It's a lot of money," said Bergstrom. "I supposo it don't mean any money to us to keep tho club In front!" f.ild Myers hotly. "Now, I wnnt to be fair with you, Gus. and I'll tell ou what wo'll do. You telegraph them and slave this off until this next scries Is over, and then, If you havo to go. all right. Why, theso folks would lynch mo It I lot you oft now." It ncvr occurred to Gus Bergstrom that ho might do ns he pleased. Ho had been playing bnseball for 13 years, obey ing team managers off the field and team captains when on the diamond. Habit drove him back to his locker, nhero ho scowled as ho read tho lottcr a fourth time. "Your immediate attention Is neces sary," it said, and Gus growled under his breath as ho temoved his collar and tie. Brick Jones hurried in, unscrewing his diamond stud as he came, for Brick was late. "Here's a swell business!" said Jones querulously, "tho kid's sick good and sick. Had to havo a doctor for him this morning!" "What's tho matter? What's ho got?" camo the chorus. "Who did you fcavo with hlm7" oskod Bergstrom. "Doe says it's a fever of somo sort," said Jones, answering piecemeal. "Tem perature's away up; out of his head half the time, and nutty as a loon." "You got him a nurse?" demanded Bergstrom. "Why, o' course!" said Brick. "One of tho nigger bell hops Is taking care of him. The doo said said It wasn't going to be serious. Just some kid trouble or other. Oh, yes, Gusl He sont you a messngo. 'Tell tho big Swede pal of mine,' ho says, 'that If he doesn't hit .DOO In this series, I'll never speak to him again!' " Bergstrom paused with his street trous ers In his hands. "Tough luck!" he said. "Tho kid wouldn't have missed this series for any thing. If It,'s only a fever, he can eat fruit, eh, Brlck7 I take him some after the game!" At 4 o'clock that afternoon John Wes ley, very small In a big double bed, tossed and heaved and fretted at a sym pathetic black bell boy. 'Thoyre on the field now," whined the sufferer. "Wo'll pitch Mesmer; it's his turn. Boy! Go down and see what the batteries are! Gee! Talk about your rotten luck! Alnt' this the " The negro attendant shook his head and cluoked his reproof. "M-m-m-m-ff!" said he. "How you ex peot to win any ball games when you talk like that? Don't you know if you ouss you catch no nsh?" Out at the ball park there was trouble. The Renegades took the "Jump" on their old rivals, and scored one run .In the first inning. Then for seven Innings the Apaches fought for a tlo with a left hander whom they could not hit. In the eighth inning, after a great deal of perspiration, a touch of heart failure on the part of the fans, some baseball luck and a stinging line drive to the centre Meld fence the Apaches forged into the lead by a score of two to one. The home team had been fighting doggedly and without noise, but when their second run came across, the Apache bench burst into a medley of yells and taunts, Bergstrom was the only man who re mained silent. He had not spoken three words during the afternoon. The phrase about his "immediate attention" kept running through Ilia head. It never oc curred to Gus that he bad not fully ex Plained the matter to Myers; all that he remembered was that the manager had refused t let him go and that he might lose several thousands of dollars more than his whole season's salary. It took Bergstrom all of eight Innings to arrive at the full realization of his dis content, for his brain had never been able to keep pace with his arms and legs.

"Hold 'cm now! You've got tho game won I" howled the bleaoherltcs. Yes, tho game was won, thought Berg strom, and what did It amount to? Noth ing. Baseball? Bah! It was a good game for men who spent their salary checks beforo they received them, but for a man with monoy In nvo banks and acres of real estate. It was slavery' "Your Immediate attention Is neces sary " Just then "Put" Cassldy, the first Renegade up in tho ninth, topped a. drop bull, nnd hit a high bounder down tho Infield. When tho shortstop got his hands on it ho might as well havo put the ball In his pocket as anywhere cIbc. Dalrym plo pulled a ncnt bunt down the flrst baso line, Peto Carr handled It perfectly, but Mesmer, covering first on the run, dropped tho toss, and "Dal" was safe. Tho stands began to yell at tho Apaches, beseeching them to "git In tho game." The Infield was agitated, and Carr was barking at Mesmer. who snarled back at him; tho outfield was nervous all but ono man. Gus Berg strom didn't care. Ho was worrying about a flaw In his title to a 10-acre tract. "Fuzzy" Carey was tho next man up. lie dropped two foul bunts and waited for threo balls. 'They're going!" yelled Jordan In left field. "Of course they're going," thought Gus. "Why not? Threo and two" Tho runners did go. Just ns Carey smashed a short fly over the Infield be tween loft nnd contre. Bergstrom was running ns soon as ho saw tho ball leave tho bat. It wouldn't be a cinch, he saw that, but thero was tlmo yes, ho could get it and then he bogan to wonder whother tiiore would bo tlmo to get that deed Investigated, time to sell the land to tho new manufacturing company. Borgstrom's big body was playing base- .... in. mum was selling Ohio real estate. That was the reason ho did not hear Pete Carr yelling "Jordan! Jor dan!" Gibraltar heard It, nnd know that ho had been ordered to mako the catch; Bergstrom would back him up; the two runners paused midway between the bases, ready to dart In either direction. "Trouble on that ono!" howled tho Renegndo coachers. "Trouble!" Bergstrom was recalled from Ohio by a stunning Impact, which seemed to knock the bottom out of tho real estate market. The next thing ho knew, he was sitting on tho grass with a fistful of turf In his baro hand and wondering what had happened to Jordan, who was sitting on tho ground in front of, him, rocking to and fro ns ho nursed an ankle In both hands. .T0U b,fr """"I" groaned Gibraltar. That was my ball! I could ha' caught it in my hip pocket! And now you'vo trod tho whole ankle off me. beside bust ing ray skull wide openl" Bergstrom's head cleared; he looked around for the ball. It was safe on third base, and so was Fuzzy Casoy with two runs home in front of him. The easy fly ball had gone for a triple. The fans were shouting and "boohing." Pete Carr was walking around first base In little circles, tossing his glove into the alrj several players gathered around Jordan and helped him off the field: a substitute outfielder appeared, and Berg strom dropped back to his position, growling over his shoulder like a mastiff annoyed by terriers. If Myers had let him go home it wouldn't have happened. It cost the Apaches two more runs to close the inning. (CONTINUED TOMORROW.) WHAT MAY HAPPEN IN BASEBALL TODAY NATIONAL LEAGUE. Club, Won, Ist.

Many Bunkers and Traps Added Since Barnes Made the Pre fcssional Record Last on Local Seventy-one shots Is low enough even over tho easiest course, so that when Walter P, Reynolds, of WoodbUry, hung Up a 71 nt Whltemarsh yesterday after noon In the second 18 holes of tho quali fying round for tho Individual champion ship, he mado a mark that Is sure to stand for somo time, since tho Whlto marsh course Is conceded to bo one of the hard courses In this country. Reynolds beat the old record by three strokes and equalled the professional record set up by J. If, Barnes last year. Mnny new traps have been put In slnco Barnes made his mark. This made the course far more dlftlcult Barnes drove out of bounds on the sev enth holo and when ho was down In four shots, which Is par, he had a flvo for tho holo. Two other fives were tho worst ho did on any holes. Ho took a two on tho Oth holo when his Iron drlvo stopped short of the hole. This made him one under par going out Coming In he was short on the 13th and needed five, ono over par. His shot to the 16th was to tho side In the bunk ers. He was a bit unsteady on his out ond it had no forward roll. His third took a knoll dubiously and It noedod an extra tap to hole out. But for nil tho "Ifs" that might bo found by which Reynolds might havo bet tered this scoro, thero could be found severnl times as many reasons why ho might have done CO shots worse. Tho scoro was remarkable In overy way and only bears out tho predictions of those who saw him in action last week at Mer lon nnd tn tho Lynnowood Hall contest, Reynolds was n finalist against Jerry Trnvers, and gavo the latter a corking go for tho H A. Sands trophy. Reynolds started his golf, llko so many other crack players, as a caddy. The habit of shouting scores ncross the links to each other and Inquiring as to tho scores of some of thoso who have already turned In their cards seems to have a bad effect on tho gamo of some of the players. C. B. Webster, Jr., turned In a fine 70 for his morning and was the only one be low SO. For his afternoon round ho had a 33 going out, which Is only two nbovo par and was three better than ho hnd In tho morning. He had a par 4 on tho 10th and a beautiful drive to tho 11th But some one shouted to him that Reyn olds had a 35 going out and that he was "oven 4s" on the Hth. Webster put his next In the rough, following with a shot Into a trap and after that he Just went on playing. II. B. Newton heard that Webster had a 79 for his morning round. Newton only had to do par on tho last two holes to LOCAL MOTORCYCLISTS READY FOR MEET Philadelphia Association Puts Up Nearly $100 as Prizes for the Winners.

Many golfers toll all the day and refuse to hear the call of the links morn than : Just so many times a week. This is glveX as the reason that there Were only 475 cnicrea lor tno city Championship. Dr. M K. Nelffer. who has blaved sUoh ' sterling golf lately, was not able to enter' nnd there were many others similarly situated. Thero being only 47 entrants, the com-3 muieo regretted mat it could hot declare a third 16. There must have been some great golf at Whltemarsh on Wednesday, tho day beforo tho tournament. Nearly every . golfer, ns he sorrowfullv tnrnori in hn , ticket, told of the 75s and 76s that hh naa reeled, ore in rehoarslng. The putting greens wero In very fnst shape. There Is a little too much clover on many of them so that It Is hard to Judge tho touch necessary. All tho greens were a good test of putting, especially as most of tho cups aro Inserted In the lops of tho knolls. It Is more fun to hole out In tho crater of a volcano than on a rnol table. And fun Is what golfers ore look ing for. It would bo well for other clubs to copyy mo custom or tne wmtemarsu Club of posting ball spotters around where drives ' are liable to bo lost. There was very llttlo delay yesterday as tho result of this thoughtfulncss. Thero was a boy posted on the 13th "for a rcnaon." It seems that ono of the lady patients at a nearby sanitarium , sneaked out the other afternoon when no one was about. Sho went down on the fairway nnd played ccntrefleld. She scooped a drive after n running catch and then ran for the clubhouse with the ball. Thiro was an exciting chase before the ball was recovered. It was dropped with. out penalty. The boy was on duty yes terday, as mentioned above. Thero was much Indignation yesterday at tho players who refused to smooth out the sand in tho traps after they -had gey- sered out.
