PHILS' POOR DEFENSIVE WORK COSTS VALUABLE GAMES "A RAIN CHECK," BY VAN LOA
WEAK FIELDING STARTS PHILLIES
SKIDDING THREE GAMES DONATED
Captain Ludcrus Fails to Enforce Fielding Instruction and
Miosups Occur Young Mamaux, of Pittsburgh, Pitching
Sensation of Season.
It has been remarked frequently that a team which plays up-to-dato base
ball Kftls the breaks, nnd for this reason a championship club In always con
tittered lucky by the players nml fans of the seven rival cities In each leflRUo.
That a team can forco the breaks has been proved tlmo and again nnd has been
clearly Illustrated by tho whirlwind attack of tho rhllllos at times during the
present season.
When a team has excellent pitching It has a better chance to forco tho
breaks, because one or two runs usually means victory, and a falluro of an
offensive move on one occasion docs not upset tho team so easily. The players
realize that they havo to bo successful only once, nnd two or three runs will
clinch a victory If tho pitcher Is going strong.
The Phillies havo looked bad many times recently when trying to forco
theso breaks, nnd since somo games havo been lost becauso of tho falluro of
this stylo of attack, it has been argued that tho team has played bad baseball.
There havo been several errors In Judgment mndo by Moran's team offensively
In tno last ten days, but these wore duo moro to a temporary lapso of tho
ilnktng power of an Individual than to any fault of tho stylo of play lahl
out by Moran.
Trouble With Phillies Is In Defensive Work
A bad batting slump that lasted moro than a month held tho Phillies back
somewhat; but tho point Is that tho great weakness In tho Phllly play is in
tho defense and not in tho offense. Tho Phillies havo gone as far as flvo
games without an error of commission in tho Held, and Borne of tho plays havo
been wonderful, but oven in thoso games dcfcnslvo errors of omission havo
done much toward giving tho opposing team a victory.
Playing batsmen wrong nnd throwing to tho wrong baso on safe hits havo
been serious drawbacks. These facts do not show In tho box score, but they
havo lost ball games. On hard-hit balls and In plays that rcqulro fast and
brilliant work the Phllly Infield has stood out prominently, only to fall down
on somo easy clianco or to do the wrong thing at tho wrong time.
Perhaps it wilt bo argued that tho opposing team? havo been scoring but
few runs. That Is true, but they have been scoring moro than they should
with tho brand of pitching thnt has been shown by tho Phillies' stnlT, As
Manager Moran states, tho Phillies havo had but four poorly pitched games
of ball out of 67 played, which is a marvelous record and ono that should havo
been rewarded with at least 4G victories Instead of 36.
MIDSEASON STANDING OF THE FANS
Basemen Tip Off Batters to Pitching
When tho team was in a batting slump, it was generally believed that
It would wado through tho other teams as soon as tho sluggers found their
batting oyo, but it has become apparent that tho fault is moro with tho defense
than tho offenso. Ono can sit in tho stand, and If ho watches closely, can toll
76 per cent, of the times whether Bancroft or NIehoff Is going to cover second
with a runner on first. This has mado it easy for opposing tenni3 to pull tho
hit-and-run play.
Early In tho season It wns a rare occurronco to seo this play used against
tho Phillies, but tho opposing teams nro ovldently wise, and it Is becoming
moro successful every day. Two of tho games lost within tho last four days
havo been directly duo to the fact that tho man covering tho bag wa3 tipped
off even before tho pitcher throw tho ball.
Still Another "Should-have-bccn-a-vlctory" Story
Yesterday tho Phillies threw away anothor game becauso tho team is still
not quite tho smooth machlno necessary to stay In tho ponnant raco to tho
finish. Too many of theso "should-have-bocn-a-vlctory" contests havo taken
placo at Phllly Park this season already, and It Is to bo hoped thcro will bo no
more llko the game with tho Pirates yesterday. Thero havo been thrco such
within a week.
Every ball club must mako mlsplays nt somo stago of tho game, and thero
Is always an excuso for an error when a fielder makes a legttlmato attempt to
handle a ball, but when two playors stand still, and watch a fly ball fall safo
through a misunderstanding it Is tlmo to find out whero tho troublo lies. This
is not tho first tlmo a ball has fallen between two fielders at tho Phllly park,
when either could havo handled it easily, but each thought tho other would
mako tho try. "i
Duty of Captain to Enforco Fielding Instructions
Luderus Is captain of tho team and should call out clearly and loudly for
some ono to try for tho ball, and that man should go through with It undor nny
condition. To date, thoso in tho press box havo not heard Luderus' voice.
Perhaps if ha called louder thero would bo fewer mix-ups.
NIehoff has been In two of tho plays recently whero tho ball felt safely
between two fielders, and In each Instance. It seemed that ho had called for a
ball that was entirely out of his territory.
That hustling spirit is appreciated, but it Is somotlmes bad for a club, as
tho Athletics discovered when Eddie Collins went out Into right field onco too
often for balls that wero out of his territory. Collins collided with Dan Murphy
and fractured his collar bone. Ho Just managed to recover In tlmo for tho world's
series that season, Thero Is such a thing as a player becoming tod ambitious.

Salt "Water News
At last tho long lookcd-for channel bass,
that was scheduled to mako Its appcar-
anco on tho Jersey coast a month ago,
now occuplos tho attention of the surf
flBhermon.
Each day brings In fresh nows of
catches from tho different resorts along
tho coast. Tho absence of these gamy
fish has been, no doubt, duo to tho ter
rific storms and tho latoncss of tho sea
son. It has been within tho last few
weeks only that thero has been sufficient
food In tho suff to attract tho bass closo
In shore, and now that tho sand crabs,
clams and rock mlnnowo nrK In, thcro Is
nothing to prevent tho surf fisherman In
malting a killing among theso tacklo
smashers.
Had Bancroft Held tho Ball, Well
A little pop ily from Dalrd's bat fell between NIehoff and Ludcrus yesterday
and started a. rally that won tho gamo for Pittsburgh. Batrd recelvod credit for
u hit, and ho moved to third on Wagner's single, nfter Hlnchman had fanned.
Viox also fanned, making two men retired. Thon a double steal was tried, and
Bancroft made tho mlpplay that lost tho gamo, ulthough tho error of omission
by either NIehoff (jr &uderua started tho troublo. Bancroft muffed a perfect
throw from KUlefcr In trying to break up this steal and Balrd scored, while
Wagner went to second and scored on Gibson's single. Had Bancroft held tho
ball he had plenty of tlmo to catch Balrd at tho plate.
Young Al Mamaux, who was on tho mound for tho Pirates, twirled a beau
tiful game. He was never In danger until tho last two lnnlngsv and ho pulled
out of both holes hlmnelf by clever pitching. Few hard fielding chances wero
given his support, and four of tho Phillies' six hits wero Infield scratches. This
youngster has developed a wonderful drop that reminds ono much of Mathew
son's famous drop which wrecked tho Athletics' world's series hopes back In
, 1905. Ho Is surely the pitching find of tho season.
Another Ty Cobb nnd Another Rube Waddcil Maybe
President Hedges, of tho St. Louis Browns, declares ho has another Ty Cobb
in George Sisler, tho University of Michigan star, who has been alternating
between first baso and pitching since Joining St, Louis. Hedges says, also, that
he" has another Wnddoll in Koob, tho Michigan State Normal School pitcher.
It is fine to b6 optimistic and to give youngsters a boost, but it seems that
Hedges has the habit of stretching points.
Last season, when big Gus Williams went off to a good start at tho bat, in
the field and on tho bases, the Browns' president gave out a long statement In
which ho predicted that Williams would be a greater outfielder than Cobb before
the close of the 19U season. Any number of things may havo happened to wreclt
the career of Williams, but all the publlo knows is that he has been released and
Is now playing a poor game in tho outfield for Toronto, of the International
League.
Watch tho Cuba! The great Helnlezlm again has promised to bo good.
After a reccmt game, In which Zimmerman kicked himself out to the detri
ment of his team, the Cubs gathered around him and pleaded with him to bo
good if not for their sake, at least for tho sako of a cut In tho world's series
coin- There must bo soma eloquent pleaders on Bresnahan's club, for, accord
ing to the stories from Chicago, Zimmerman wept. Moro than that, he said:
"If I get kicked out of a game again I'll giva each of you tellows 5."
Dana Filllnghetn. the young Charleston pitcher who has Just been pur
chased by the Athletics, shut out Macon on Wednesday, allowing but two hits
and striking out 13 batsmen. Bankston. who was purchased from the same
team, ia a catcher and not an outfielder. Ha was filling in at centre field when
not behind the bat because of hU hitting, but the Maokmen expect to use
him behind the bat.
Ed Ituelbash and George McConnell refuse to Join the downand-out cjub.
Ruelbach held QUo Knabe'a Baltimore Feda to four hits and won an easy
vietary yesterday for Newark, while MaConnell pitched the Chifeda to a vic
tory over Kansas City. The latter obtained but four hits and were shut out.
It wis MeConnell's ninth straight victory.
Hints to Channel Bass Fishermen
AH men that nro wodded to fishing for
channel bass are more than entitled to
"Job" for a middle name, for thero Is
hardly anything in tho fishing gamo that
can bo comparod to It for patlonco.
"Whllo many bass havo been taken on
small bnlts, and on little- hooks, tho flBh
crman who has traveled far would rather
trust his chances to largo hooks and big
baits. A No. 9 O'Shaughnessy hook, at
tached to a heavy plana wlro leader,
about 10 to M Inches, which la again at
tached to tho largest size barrel swivel
will bo found tho -best rig to uso. It Is
best for tho amateur not to uso a Hue
smaller than 15 thread until ho has
learned tne art or playing the buss, as
tho tendency Is to horse tho first fish
caught and a smaller lino would hardly
stand the racket.
Tho swivel to which tho hook Ii at
tached should be fastened to a piece of
lauhlde about two Inches long and a
half Inch wide, this being passed through
the end of tho lino that has a double loop
formed to take it. This dlpsy, of the
pyramid vaTlety, Is fastened to a one
ring, procurable at notion counters, and
allowed to run freo on the line. At least
ZOO yards of line Is necessary, and it
should be. wet and stretched beforo It Is
put on tho reel. The best surf tackle, de
scribed last week, should be used nnd
either mossbunker or shedder crab may
bo used for bait, with preference to tho
bunker. The bunker, after scaling, is
split down tho back, tho backbone re
moved, and each side cut lengthwise
making four baits of each fish. It Is
passed through the hook two or three
times so that it, will lie flat, and not
bunch up on thoshook. It being well to
tie It on to the hook.
Where to Go for Channel Bass
Channel bass may be caught at Beach
Haven, Whale Beach, Harvey Cedars,
Brlgantlno Beach, Lonrport, above First
street, ltth street, and Nth street, all at
Ocean City, Coreons Inlet, Townsend In
let, Avalon, Wlldwood Crest, Delaware
Bay, oft Ship John Light and as fur
south as Top Ball Inlet, North Carolina,
where as high as twelve to fifteen are
caught on a tide.
In the spring the bass run from about
the 30th of May until the middle of July,
when they stop biting and are again seen
about the 15th of September until the
water gets too cold around the 1st of
November.

Why dcicrlbo tho first six innings? Pete
Moreno drovo tho fow Blsbeo men crazy
when ho struck out White In tho third
Inning- and followed by making the peer
less Ell hit a weak foul back of first base.
Ell retaliated by keeping tho ball high
up on tho Inside, to the extreme discom
fiture of tho Grizzly wallopers, who could
not hit It out of tho diamond. Eluht men
ho fanned In six innings, and Polo Moj
reno, pitching with unusual nerve and
control, mndo flvo of tho Eagles throw
nwny their bats.
Considering It as a contest between
pitchers. It was a remarkable exhibition,
but Tucson unhesitatingly nwarucu pre
mier honors to Ell, tho Incomparable.
Moreno had been hit safely three times,
nnd had given ono baso on balls; tho
Grizzlies had yet to mako their first sin
gle, and Ell had Issued no transportation.
Tho scoro was represented by a double
row of ciphers on tho board; excitement
ran high nnd loud, and tho few Blsbeo
men realized with sinking hearts that Ell
was pitching as they had never seen him
pitch before.
At tho end of tho sixth Inning, Whlto
found a chanco to whisper to Ell:
"Better let 'or go In this Inlng," ho
whlsporod. "It's clouding up, and thero
may bo a storm. Slip in ono or two runs,
and It'll stiffen this Mexican's backbone.
They'll novcr get a foul oft him If ho

"String nlong with mo, Jake," was tho

had bet more money than ho could afford
and given odds of 2 to 1. The artlstlo
temperament often causes a man to over
look tho main point In nn argument.
Joo Dorsey, tho weakest hitter on tho
visiting club, who waited on a pitcher
becauso ho was afraid to hit and miss,
opened the seventh inning, and Ell soon
had threo balls and tno strikes on him.
In order that it might look "good," tho
last ball was a drop curve, aimed about
two feet low. No man with nny Judg
ment, seeing that the ball was gujng to
hit tho plato Itself, nould have offered
at It, but Joo Dorsey was a bad batter,
and he swung. Thero wns nothing for
White to do but let the ball get away
from him, and Dorsey hustled for rtrst
base.
White straightened up with tho ball
when Joo was almost on tho sack, and
slammed away, a wild, blind heave 10
feet over Smiling Kelly's glove. The
fight fielder was taken entirely by sur
prise, and Dorsey went from first to
third. In tho grandstand they were be

thing to keep that man on third base.
Tho fence-breaking Culpepper was next
at bat "Cul" hated a drop curve, but
ho could knock the cover off a straight
ball, and that was what Ell offered him.
Cul lined It back as straight as It had
come. Ell stuck out his hand mechani
cally, the ball hit his glove and dropped
dead at his feet.
It was a startling bit of fielding for the
crowd, and a still more startling bit of
fielding for Ell himself, And therq was
the ball at his feet, and Joe Dorsey was
hal way between third and the plate.
Ell made a snatch for the tall ami drib
bled It along the ground for 10 feet. When
ho did pick It up ho whipped It to White
like a bullet, but he was very careful to
throw the ball Bhoulder-hlgh, and as It
thudded Into tho big catcher's mitt, Joe
Dorsey slid over the plate low and safe.
Tho crowd wsb stunned Into silence. An
error apiece for this wonderful pair and
a run for Blfcbee, What was going to
happen next?
They wore not keot In suspense vrv
long. Ell, thlpklng of the money, made
up his mind that since tho publlo Idol
had to have a clay foot, he iHght as
well havo a pair. Culpepper was on first
base. Ell knew well that Smiling Welly
