MORAN'S MEN LOSE GRAND OPPORTUNITY "A RAIN CHECK," BY CHARLES E. VAN L0A1

INCREASING ATTENDANCE PROVES
BASEBALL STILL "NATIONAL PASTIME"
Poor Crowd at One Particular Park No Indication of Sport's
Popularity Throughout Country Phillies Take a Day Off
and Throw Away Perfectly Good Ball Game.
The old game baseball Is dead, according to "CMrflrd," writing In tho
, PtwLic Lbixibr. It is no longer tho nnllonnt pastime nnd la fast approaching
J tho end, he says, "dlrnrd" Is ono of tho most accurate writers of the day, nnd
. ono of tho most versatile. Uut a more thorough examination of tho 'sports
, situation would havo put a different complexion on his treatise." Tho slim at
tendance nt Shlbe Park, only ono of tho 32 major league ball parks, was tho
basis of his argument.
It might havo been pointed out, nnd with ground for Justification, thai
there Is a marked Increase In nctlvo participation In many of tho sports other
than baseball. Golf, tennis, cricket, rowing, truck and field athletics havo
leaped Into unprecedented popularity. Thousands of young men nnd women,
business men nnd youngsters, collegians nnd all, aro now playing their own
games.
Baseball Attendance on the Increase, Not Decrease
Hut this has not detracted from tho popularity of baseball. It should bo
remembered that there are now three major tcaguo circuits, Instead of two,
among tho larger cities of tho Knot and West. Organizations havo sprung up
' Ml over tho country, nnd there nro now four leagues to one of flvo years ago.
It Is the old story the more sports the moro followers; a boost for ono Is a
boost for another.
Tho fact that tho Athletics havo not drawn well this Bcason Is searcoly
a fair basis for nrgument. Tho Athletics occupy a peculiar position in tho
baseball world today, and It will tako nt least another season for tho public
mind to adjust Itself In regard to Connie Mack's club. Within that tlmo tho
hazo will havo been dispelled and Philadelphia will apprcclato Just what tho
Athotlcs havo been and are.
Dut thcro aro 32 professional leagues operating at tho present time. In
at lcnnt 20 of them financial conditions nro good. Further, thcro are GO.OOO
Independent and amateur baseball teams In tho country. They nro being pat
ronized and nro paying expenses.
Phillies Drawing Better Than in 33 Years
"Glrnrd" might havo taken tho Phillies into his calculations. They aro
right hero at home. And they aro drawing better than nt any tlmo in their
13 years of business.
It was sot forth that "Billy" Sunday drew ten times tho crowds that tho
Athletics nro drawing. It must bo remembered that it cost nothing to soo and
hear "Billy" Sunday. Further, if "Billy" Sunday played nt tho samo old stand
for 33 years it Is scarcely concclvablo that ho could maintain his attendnnco
mark, even with free admission to the grounds and with free peanuts and
popcorn thrown In for good measure.
.
Tho real trouble In baseball today Ib not Bllm attendance, but abnormal
expenses, both In players' salaries and in equipment. In tho matter of players'
salaries Connlo Mack lins blazed tho way and others will follow. In a short
whllo they will bo adjusted and tho poverty cry will cease.
Phils Throw Away Runs on Bases
Phlly rooters sincerely hope thcro will bo no mora occasions this season
when their idols waste hits as they did yesterday. With better baso running it
Is altogether probable that tho Phillies would have tallied at least thrco runs, and
possibly more. In tho eighth, when Marquard went completely to pieces, following
Cravath's home-run drive over tho right-field wall.
Cravath was tho first hitter, and the fast-weakening Marquard was found
for a solid drlvo to left by Paskert, who tried to stretch the drlvo into a double.
Whether Moran or Paskert decided that he should bo able to make second Is not
known, but whoever did so seriously erred in Judgment. It generally follows
that when a player gets away with a play of this sort It Is considered good Judg
ment, whereas It is a "bono" when ho falls, but In this Instance It was poor baso-
ball under any condition.
When the Chance for Percentage Was Nil
The Phillies were still four runs behind Now York when Paskert hit the ball;
'not a man was retired, and the ball was hit to tho territory of ono of tho very
best throwing outfielders in tho league. Ono run would do the Phillies no good,
and that ono extra base was of no valuo except that it might possibly stop a
doublo play on tho following hitter.
Paskert mado tho try and was nailed easily by Burns' throw to Fletcher.
Two moro hits followed, and there Is no telling what might havo happened had
it not been for this ono sllp"-up, which, unfortunately, was followed by another,,
when NlehofT was caught napping off second by Stroud's fast throw to Fletcher.
These two pieces of bad baso running deprived the Phillies of their last chanco
to overcome tho lead tho Giants amassed, early in tho game, on Mayer.

Patay sought out tho
asked a few questions.
"They tell me you've played baseball,"
said he, ,
"Some,1'
"What position?"
"Behind tho bat mostly," said tho
stranger, "but I can play first or the
outfield."
"Huml Hit any?"
"Oh, about two-ninety In tho semi-pro
leagues around St. Louis."
Patsy whistled. He could use a two
ninety hitter very handily, especially If
he could work behind tho bat, for that
wns Where tho Eagles wore weak.
"Come on out to the park tomorrow
afternoon," suggested Delancy. "Moat of
tho boys will bo out thero, and I'd like
to look you over. If you shnpe up all
right, I'll mnke you a proposition."
Needless to state, there was nothing
at all tho matter with tho way "George
White, of St. Louis," shaped up. Ills
throwing to the bases was nothing leas
than a rovelatlon, and ho "got the ball
nnay" with a snnp that kept tho second
baseman and tho shortstop up on their
toes all the while. Even Jaok Glbbs, the
regular catcher, admitted that Whlto was
tho best "pegger" ho had ever seen.

Eagles' mainstay In tho box, went out

Hedley Will Compete in Sin

Rube Marquard Pulls a New One
t Marquard did something yesterday that Ijas seldom been seen at a local
park. He deliberately passed Cravath In the first Inning, despite tho fact that
' the Giants had a four-run lead. With a one-run lead, or the score tied and only
one man on base, there might have been an excuse for such a move, but for a
pitcher deliberately to place another runner on the base with a four-run lead
was poor Judgment, but tho big southpaw got away with It.
m
Umpire Byron, Cock of the Walk
The umpiring had Uttlo to do with defeating tho Phillies, but it must bo
admitted that poorer work has seldom been seen here. Not only was Umpire
Byron poor on balls and strikes, but ho was entirely too Important. Walking
slowly all tho way from tho plate to the centro-fleld bleachers to close a gato
that could havo been closed at his request, was so pitiful that It was laughable.
President Toner had better spend a little more tlmo looking his umpires over,
both on and off the field.
Baumgartner nnd Tincup Promising Pitchers
Tho work of Tincup and Baumgartner wns high-class. During the closing
stages of 1914 Tincup showed signs of developing rapidly, and since has Improved
a great deal. But he does not possess tho natural "stuff" this youngster Baum
gartner has, and there are few other southpaws In the game with better pros
pects. It would bo no great surprise to see Moran start him In the near future.
He still has a bad habit of sticking the ball straight across when ho has tho
Dauer in a nole. Put that can easily be overcome.
Killefer Has Mastered Art of Self-Protection.
Klllefer Is In a class by himself In tagging runners at the plate. When he is
catching, blocking Is never In evidence, and he has a remarkable way of avoiding
collisions, without letting any runners get away from him. There Is little danger
of Klllefer suffering an accident, unless a foul tip cripples him.
Local fans slpcerely hope that the Injury to Jack Coombs will not prqve
serious. The wonderful come-back of the former Mackman has stirred tho
baseball fans throughout the country and they have been following Coombs'
career In Brooklyn with unusual interest. It would be no great surprise,
however, If Coombs wns In reality through as a major league pitcher. There
were few who believed that tho once great twlrler could stand the pace,
even after his brilliant showing in the first two months of the season.
The Braves are baqk in last place. If there ever was a team that had the
publlo fooled, It is this same world's championship aggregation. This time a year
ago they were In las,t place, and yet won the pennant. At the start of the present
season it was generally believed that they would go off to a flying start, but
gain they have crossed the dopesters. Will history repeat?
I
Will Norman Taber Break Jones Wile Record?
Discussion has arisen relative to the comparative strength of John Paul
Jones, holder of the amateur world's record for the mile Mi 14 2-5). and Norman
j Taber, the ex-Brown mller, who at the try-outs at Boston recently stepped the
; tight furlongs Jn 4:151-!.
It has been said that Sf Taber were given the proper sort of coaching and
, tjiere Is a man In the Panama-Paeiflo championships who will force hlin to do his
J best, a new record will grace the books. Taber Is not the great finisher Jonas was.
i hiit the former has proved beyond doubt that ho is the gamest of the game and
f qan work fast enough and evenly enough during the various stages of the race
i to snatter tne present mark.
'In "order to prove1' that they aro not yet
to bo classed among the "has-beens,"
Vivian Nickalls, coach of tho University
of Pennsylvania crews; Coach Marsh, of
the Malta Boat Club; Coach Eddie Hart
man, of tho Crescent Boat Club, and Ed
ward Hedley will compete In a special
quarter-mile race In slnglo shells on the
Schuylkill Blvcr next Wednesday. This
event will be the feature of tho Malta
Boat Club's program, which will hold Its
second annual field day on that day at
me willows.
It N not necessary to go Into details
about Vivian Nickalls, but many may
have forgotten about Marsh and Edward
Hedley, both of whom occupied seats In
tho eight that won the national races in
1900 and were sent to Paris to compete in
the races there during the Paris Exposi
tion. Edward Hedley Is tho present holder
of tho world'B record for tho quarter-mile
singles, his time being 67 seconds. Tho
former record for this distance was 1 mln
uto nnd 8 seconds.
The field-day exercises of the wearers
of the Maltese cross Is a gala occasion
for all members and a largo program
has been arranged. Among the events
scheduled to take place are a six-oared
barge race, 100 and 220-yard dashes, broad
Jump, a three-legged race and a base
ball game between tho single and mar
ried members of the clubs. Entries In
tho various events are open only to mem-
uers oi me iuaita uiuo.
Prizes, donated by members of the
club, will be awarded to winners In. the
various events. The closing number of
tho athletic program will be a half-mile
swimming race, In the evening there
will be a supper served to the members
and their friends.
JOE BOY, LEAHY'S FAST
PACER, GOES MILE IN 2:09 3-4
Clips AV, Seconds Off Downingtown's
Truck Record in Exhibition.
That early training of local horses has
done a whole lot of good Is attested by
the fact that two local horses at Salem,
N. J., on Monday went to new records.
Baron Wilkes went a mile In 2:16ft and
Wathan covered the route In 2;19Vi.
All over the State of Pennsylvania si
general Improvement Is evident In tho
speed of trotters and pacers.
Tho old campaigner, Joe Boy, Dan
Leary's pacing gelding, has the honor
of being the first Keystone State-owned
nagt that has negotiated a mile better
than 2:10. On July 5 at Downlngtowu,
Pa., O'Leary, driving, Joe Boy broke tho
Downlngtown Club's track record of
;Hli to 2:08H. This early fast mile Is
only a forerunner of what the old cam
paigner will do biter on. What seems to
stand out most remarkable about this
horse Is that he shows wonderful speed
every time he startB Joe Boy Is a frail
little black gelding, and his anatomy is
a striking corroboration of the adage,
"A lean horse for a long race."
Pressed for facts, ha modestly admit
ted that he usually struck out IS men.
something on tho ball" for tho stranger.
Lew obeyed orders, but tho way Whlto
fell on his wldo, roundhouse curvo and
spattered it to all corners of tho lot was
discouraging, to Bay the least
Afterward Lew rested In tho shade of
the stand while tho Inflelders porformed
the usual stunts. In that company,
George White, of St. Louis, loomed up as
a Triton among tho minnows. Every
thing that ho did was done without effort
and with .the cosy graco of long ex
perience. '"He's a bear, Pat," said tho discomfited
Kelly. "Did you see the way ho murder
ed that drop ball of mlno?"
"You bet!" said the manager cheer
fully. White asked for tho verdict a few
minutes later.
"How about It?" ho said carelessly.
"Think you can use me?"
"Uoe you!" ejaculated Delaney. "You
bet your life I can use you! Two games
a week. The players split the monoy
Blxty and forty after tho management
takes out twenty-flve per cent, of tho
gross."
"Uh-huhl" said White, without en
thusiasm. "And how much does this cut
usually run?"
"Never less thnn twenty-five dollars
and sometimes as much as forty," said
Delaney, fully expecting to see White's
eyes light up at tho news.
"Not good enough," said Whlto coldly.
"I'll tell you what I'll do. Make It a
guarantee of 60 a week and you're on."
Delaney hesitated. The Eagles had
some Important games scheduled, and If
ho could win a few of them tho gato re
ceipts would bo awcllod,
"I'll try you for a week," ho said.
This was on a Tuesday. Each afternoon
some of the players went to tho park for
practice, and, as In every town, the em
bryo diamond stars turned out to assist
them. On Thursday six members of the
Tucson team were languidly warming up
on the field, when a lanky, red-headed
young man climbed down out of the
bleachers where ho had been sitting In
solitary Judgment. The red-headed
stranger removed his coat, vest, collar
and tie. and, borrowing a glove from a
small boy, took a place In the line with
the near-performers.
White was sitting on the ground In
front of the grandstand, tinkering with
a wind pad, and Patsy Delaney was con
versing with tho new catcher.
"Who's the brick-top?" asked White.
"Looks to mo like a pitcher."
Patsy scrutinized the newcomer.
"You con search me," ho said. "Some
tramp ball player, I guess. Tho woods
are full of 'em."
"Well." said White, after some time
spent In watching the stranger. "I don't
know about h'8 being a tramp, Pat, but,
take It from me, he sure Is one pippin'
of a pitcher. He's got a fast curve there
that would knock your eye out!"
'Is that so?" said the manager, begin
ning to show some Interest, "I hadn't
noticed It." -,
"Well, I have," announced White posi
tively. "Whe-e-wl What do you know
about that speed? Talk about a smoke
ball I Tell you what I'll do. I'll get him
to pitch some to me, and we'll turn him
loose on these fellows In the batting prac
tice. You understand, I haven't seen Lew
Kelly In a game yet, and I don't know
how good Ite really Is, but I've seen him
warm up, and believe me, this red-head
has got more than Kelly ever saw I"
"Think so?" said Delaney eagerly. "Try
him out. If we had another good pitcher
now we'd be loaded for bear."
Whlto loafed over and spoke to the
lanky stranger.
"Come on, kid I" he whispered. "The
Bates and White bocamo popular he
roes, receiving homage, "bit" cigars, and
kind words that night at tho billiard par
lor. Tucson, Bald tho followers of the
national pastime, was now on the base

and the Terrors tako notice.
Tho Prescott Grays brought a .brass
band with them, and Jt went away play.
Ing a funeral march. Ell Bates "Get
There, Ell," as ho was christened was
responsible Ho pitched both games, al
lowing five hits In 18 Innings, and the
scores were 1 to 0 and 7 to 1 In favor of
tho Eagles.
The citizens presented Ell with a gold
watch on tho Sunday when ho pitched
against the Terrors; score, Eagles 2
Terrors 0.
In no tlmo at all the Eagles, once a
team feared by none, became the terrors
of tho Arizona circuit. The betting
switched until Tucson mon fought for a
uuuuco io oi two io .one on Bates when
ever ho pitched. Patsy Delaney took his
tmu un a iour, ana it won eight games
out of ten, Ell Bates Bcorlng six Bhut
outs. Delanoy bought a diamond horseshoe
as big as a silver half dollar and formally
challenged every team west of the Mis
sissippi River. Ho had won a small for
tune betting on Bates' games, and the
red-head had never even been close to
defeat.

Delaney sent his Eagles up with Instruc
tions to tear the eover off tho ball.

wero wounded In their vanity, but Patsy
Delaney was tho happy man. There was
no need for Whlto's strong Indorsement.
"Can ho pitch I" snorted the catcher.
"Why, say, that sorrel-top 1ms got half
these big leaguors cheated! He's a won
der. I tell you. Grab hlml"
Ho the sorrel-top was grabbed. Ho said
that his name was Ell Bates, and he came
from Eugono, Ore., where ho had pitched
ball "a little." Pressed for facts, he
modestly admitted that ho "usually"
struck out about IS men, had a record of
18 for nine Innings, and "bu,t for his old
man," who It transpired, was a Meth
odist minister, might havo signed a con
tract with tho Portlnnd Club, of tho Pa
cific Connt League. He was quite willing
to work for a guarantee of 23 per game,
but would expect a bonus of 15 If he
won.
On Saturday morning tho Blsbee "Griz
zlies" camo whooping Into Tucson for a
two-gamo sorles. Tho Grizzlies wero a
chesty aggregation, which had been mak
ing llfo burdensome for the Phoenix "Ter
rors," the Prescott "Grays" and the Can
anea "Coyotes."
Tho Eagles had always been easy pluck
Ins for tho Blsbee club, and tho sporting
men who Journoyed with tho team offered
to bet two to ono on tho game In which
Morono would pitch, or eight to ten that
the Grizzlies would win both games. Peta
Moreno, n Mexican, was their star pitcher,
with a season's record of 11 victories and
a single defeat.
"Better get you somo of that two to
one," said Whlto to Delaney. "I've taken
$50 worth myself. This Oregon baby will
eat 'cm alive!"
Low Kelly pitched on Saturday, and
was properly and painfully lambasted by
tho Grizzlies. Tho only bright spot was
the work of tho new catcher. Ho throw
out tho first thrco men who started to
steal second base, caught ono man nap
ping off first and another off third, and
mado threo long hits out of four times
at bat. After tho fourth Inning tho Griz
zlies hugged the baBcs nnd waited for the
safo hits; Goorgo White, of St. Louis, hod
them "glued to tho sacks," as tho morn
ing paper expressed It.
But on Sunday tho "Oregon baby" was
called upon to faco the Invincible Moreno,
nnd, as Whlto had prophesied, ho ate
them alive. Just as a samplo of what he
could do If renlly pressed, EH Bates, of
Eugene, struck out tho first four men
who faced him and sent tho entlro Grizzly
line-up back to tho bench soro from
swinging at his dcceptlvo curves. Some
of them drew fouls, which Whlto cared
for; others hit weakly down the Infield
and wero tossed out at first baso. In
about seven minutes Tucson was aware
that the red-headed recruit "had some
thing," and tho betting odds switched to
even money.
Peto Moreno held his own until tho
sixth Inning, when Whlto smashed out
a long triple, and tho red-head followed
him with a vicious lino drlvo between
jiiorcnos snouiaer ana car. Whito scored,
and tho Mexican pitcher blow up with a
loud report. Before ho recovered Dutch
Schmidt whaled tho ball over tho left
fleld fence, and three runs won the game.
Tho morning paper proudly called atten
tion to tho fact that Bates struck out 14
men, gavo only ono baso on balls, and
nllowed but two hits, one of which, it was
pointed out. was of the potty-larceny
variety.
