of a flock that recently took up Us resl
deneo In the country In order to escape
the heat of tho city. Ono robin has a
tin car and tho other was an Innocent by
stander. The first robin was njlnff with others
toward a nroup of golfers this week
about tho tlmo that Prank Sprogell, the
fhllmont professional, wns leaning on a
brasslc shot for tho 14th hole.
Tho robin failed to hear tho approach of
tho ball, evidently, and wa hit. Tho
Bhot woud havo been a beauty, but It
dropped dead, as did tho robin.
Tho second robin, tho Innocent by
stander, was sitting on somo tolephono
wires 100 yards from tho 4th tco on tho
links. Ho was listening to somo smart
repartco coming over tho wires and failed
to notlco Horace llano, of fhllmont, tee
ing up his ball. And tho noxt thing ho
knew ho "didn't know nothln'." The ball
Is alleged to havo killed the robin, skidded
on tho wires, and then to havo carried
tho ditch, which Is on arc of 130 yards.
Members say that somo of tho blackbirds
are often seen trying to race with tho
golf balls.
"It Is getting so that wo aro afraid to
hook a ball for fear ot killing more of
the birds," they Bay.
Mrs It, 11. Harlow, woman-golfer cx
traoidlnary, played over tho Morion
course with Jimmy dullcn, ono ot tho
club professionals thorc, during tho club
championships this week. Jimmy woro n
deep Iron n nml tho match Is snld to havo
been a "grudge match " Tho last tlmo
a:ro.- liailow played Jimmy, It Is whis
pered, sho won, and Jimmy Bpcnt mnny
sleepless nights.
At that time Mrs. Bnrlow hnd one of
her many brilliant days, while Jimmy
had had a hard session of teaching pre
viously. Hut this tlmo Jimmy camo home
with a smllo, and, though tho result wob
veiled In uacrocy, It Is supposed that
thtngs nro now evened up.
Mrs. Harlow wna making shotB that
compared inoro thnn favorably with tho

on tho club teams. Her drives were In

that Mrs. Barlow sails along bo tranquilly

It Is unusual for .1 "Mr. and Mrs " to

very unusual to tlnd two champions hap

Thero Is often more truth In o coddle's

for oory shot "Atta boy," ho would
whisper as each shot camo off nut
finally tho star player's poor putting be
gan to get on tho kid's nerves. And at

Bob Harmon, Pirates' Star
Twirler, Will Try to
Break Big Nebraskan's
Winning Streak and Cop
Whole Series.
Alexander tho Great will pitch for the
Phillies this nfternon and tho fans aro
likely to witness another great exhibition
from tho king of moundsmen. Tho big
Ncbraskan Is In wonderful form at tho
present tlmo nnd ns tho Pirates, llko tho
Cardinals, aro a poor bunch of curvo ball
hlttcis, Aloxandcr may be nblo to turn In
that no-hlt game ho has been lllrtlng with
of late.
AH batsmen havo looked alike to Alex
ander and tho Phils nro counting this
gnmo as already won. Yesterday Mam
aux'B fast ball, mixed with a great break
ing drop, had tho Phillies mystified bo
causo of the dark day. If Alexander la
over fortunate enough to bo on the mound
on such a dark day. with all of his curves
breaking right, tho fans aro likely to seo
a now strike-out record also.
"Today Alexander will bo opposed to
Bob Harmon, who has been pitching
grand ball for tho Pirates, Harmon Is al
ways a hard man for tho Phillies to beat
and in his last two appearances against
Moran'a men ho has turned In victories.
Manager Clnrku bcllovcs that If ha can
dofeat Alexander tho Corsairs will havo
smooth sailing for tho rest of tho series
and is taking a chance on his star In

hunting near Lcesburg, Va , where the
kennels are located. Mr. McLean recent
ly purchased a very extensive estate near

tion ot a racetrack and a steoplechase
courso, both of which are to bo ready for

Brown Rooters.
ST. LOUIS, July 0 Connlo Mack's
much-talked-about bnll trnm makes Its
second appcarauco of tho season hero
today against tho Browns, nnd despite
tho fnct that Jack Bnrry Is no longer
with tho club and tho Mnckmcn nro snld
to bo In a disorganized condition, Man
ager Rickey expects a hard scries.
Tho four vlctoiics of tho Athletics In
n flvo-gnmo Borles with tho Highlanders
proves thnt tho Mnckmon nro going
pretty strong nnd that no team will
havo a picnic when playing them, If tho
pitching stnff holds up its end. While
tho pitching In the Now Yolk series wns
fairly good. It l still far below the usual
standard of Athletic hurling ns the local
fans havo seen It In past Beasons.
Joo Bush Is slated to oppose the
Browns In tho opening gmno ot the
series, whilo cither Carl Wellman or
Georgo Slsler will do tho twirling for tho
Browns. Wellman hns beaten the Ath
letics twice this season nnd Is tho most
likely choice, though Slsler's grand
showing In his first start may como
Blckev to send tho collegian to the
mound.
Slsler has made n big hit with the fans
by his all-round work. ThH youngster
Is not only a high-class pitcher, but Is
a groat ball player In all departments,
and it Is generally believed that it ii
only n question of tlmo when he will
glvo up pitching bo that his strength
may bo utilized every day in somo other
position.
PENN BARGE OARSMEN
TRAINING FOR RACES
Crack Squads Are Being Devel
oped for Middle States and
National Events.
Although they failed In tho People's re
gatta here, members of the Penn Barge
are not dlncournged nnd nre out on tha
river dally. Some members of the club
attribute the poor showing to miscalcu
lation of their opponents' ability. Others
state that it was due to tho oarsmen's
lack of condition Whatever tho reason,
the bargemen promise to carry off soma
of the prizes in tho Middle States races
which will be rowed on the Schuylkill
Illver Labor Day.
The men occupying seats In tho eight
at present are Casey, Behman, Mollard,
Schubert. Beck, Stern, Walsh and Skin
ner. There will probably be some re
arrangement before the day of the races,
as there aro many men out dally In tho
work boats striving for seats. There is
keen rivalry among the men trying for
the eight.
Present holders of seats In the gig are
Lamont, Walker. G. Yeager and Gallo
per These oarsmen will participate in
the Middle States races So will the crew
of the centipede, made up as follows:
Schubert, Hughey, Kripps and Nell.
Thero Is some likelihood ot the Junior
doubles boat of the Penn Barge Club
being sent to the national championships,
as James Reading and R. Chalfonte, who
have a strong hold upon the seats In tha
shell, have been showing splendid form
recently.

When Dr. E. ti. Dewhurst was nt tho
top of hie form ho was Philadelphia's
premier lawn tennis player, and one of
the leading players In tho country. In
1903, while a, student nt tho University ot
Pennsylvania, Doctor Dewliurst, fresh
from Australia, leAped from comparative
obscurity Into fame by winning the Inter
collcRUto championship Ho won again
In 1903, and twice, partnered by J. It
Carpenter, Jr, ho captured the Pennsjl
vnnla State, doubles title
Now ho finds thnt shots that he used to
rip over tho net with the speed of a bul
let, and which more often thnn not re
sulted In clean nee, no Into the net, while
returna thnt a few yenrs ngo were Inside
tho baseline by a con pi o of Inches now
nro a rouplo Inches outside
While Doctor Dewhurst still plajs In nil
tho lornl tournnmenta, nnd Is still rnnked
among tho flmt ten In Phllndelphln, ho
does not get the same keen enjoyment
out of tennis thnt ho formerly did And
no wonder, for now ho flndn himself be
ing beaten rcgnlnrly by players who
would havo been cney for him when ho
wor in his prime Hence, ho hns token up
golf
When nsked If he wcro going to spend
his vacation playing tennis, Doctor Dew
hurst replied to tho effect thnt he wns
going ort somewhero with his golf clubs,
for In golf ho has aomcthlng to look
forward to In other words. It Is posslblo
for him to win laurels nt golf, while nt
tennis nil that Is pnst.
Moral When you feel yourself slipping
In tennis, buy a set of golf clubs nnd be
come ono of thoso persons who dig up
turf with oddly shaped Instruments nnd
