FIVE TEAMS "BUNCHED FOR "LEAD IN NATIONAL "THE TEN" THOUSAND-DOLLAR ARM
FIVE NATIONAL LEAGUE TEAMS
IN DESPERATE BATTLE FOR LEAD
But 1,1 Points Separate Chicago and Pittsburgh in Greatest Race
Beer Seen in Older Circuit Double Loss a Hard Blow to
Phillies, and Gives Pirates Great Chance to Jump in Lead,
Plttsbutgh's double victory over tho 1'IiIIIIm, whllo tho Dodgers were win
hfng their fourth straight from tho Cubs nnd the Cardinals taking t?o from
tho Braves, completely upset baseball dope, nnd today finds tho first nnd flfth
teams of tho Nnllonnl league separated by 1 points. With flt. Louis meeting
tho Phillies nnd tho Olnnts clashing with tho Cubs for tho noxt four -days, It
Is possible that the Pirates may Jump from flfth to first plnco by tho end Of
tbo week, ns they nro but three full games boJilnd tho Cubs, who nro still In
Iho lead, thanks to tho Phillies' double defeat.
Tho National Leaguo hnn been In oxlstonco almost twoscoro years, but never
has It had such a pennant rncp as It Is enjoying this year. Knns marveled nt
tho fact that the llrttvcs, Giants nnd Cardinals wcro In tho race Until tho
middle of September Inst season, but Judging by present conditions, there nro
likely to bo flvo, or even six, teams In tho running this season until tho last
timntli nftan iwn rtf HirAn rttiiKa lintrA nt. fivfnttntif nlmnpn tlnfll thft flnnltlff
stapes of the rncc, but novor hnvo nil of tho clubs been so cvonly matched ns
thoy arc now. It'ls nlso a freak turn of fortune tha( tho two favorites, tho
Giants nnd Uravcs? should bo trolling tho field this Into In tho season.
Brooklyn Looks Great, Hut Phillies Itavc Chance
Brooklyn's mad raco to tho top has stirred tho fans throughout tho coun
try, and nt tho present time the Dodgers look llko tho best bet, ns they nro
Apparently ntrong In nil departments, whllo most of tho other contenders have
ahown somo fatal weakness at somo time or other. Tlio Phillies' chanceB still
look good, dcsplto tho fact that thoy have tossed nway sovcral games that
should havo been easy victories. Any team with two twlrlers llko Alexander
nnd Mayor, who nro almost unbcatablo when right, arc likely to upset tho
calculations of a better balanced club by working out of turn In tho closing
days of tho raco.
Phillies Just Foil to Land a Smashing Wow; They Get Ono
Two defeats nt tlio hands of tho Pirates were a great blow to tho Phillies,
but as the Cubs were ngaln beaten by Brooklyn, little ground was lost. Tho
Pirates deserved both victories, as thoy played by far better ball than tho
Phillies. Even at that, everything seemed to break with tho visitors. In each
game tho locals had several opportunities to stage winning rallies, but they
always fell short of tho mark.
Young Al Mamaux went back nt Mornn's tenm ngaln, and whllo he pitched
Tvell enough to win, he wns plainly suffering from tho effects of overwork, and
In tho closing Innings wns hit much hnrdcr than tho Bcoro would Indicate.
Lack of bunting ability cost tho Phillies tho second gome, as tho scoro would
havo been tied In tho eighth Inning on Cravath's drlvo to Wagner had Becker
sacrificed Byrno and ijltock along. Ab It happened, Becker failed in two at
tompts to sacrlflco and then fanned. Cravath followed with a hit over second
that Wagner converted Into n doublo play. Had tho runners bocn advanced
with a Bacrlflco, tho Pirates' Infield would havo been playing In close, and thero
would havo been no clianco for any ono to field Cravath's grounder, and both
runners would havo tallied easily.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN
IN BASEBALL TODAY
The Bunting Game Would Be a Good One to Lcnrn
It might also bo mentioned that whllo tho hit-and-run gamo Is good at all
times, particularly with only first base' occupied, thero Is a. painful lack of
bunting ability notlccablo with several players. It Is always prcfcrablo to see
certain players hit Instead of sacrificing, but it Is a handy thing to know. Tho
sacrlflco Is a much overworked play, nnd successful ball clubs do not use It
much unless tho runner is on second with nobdy out. They reason, and un
doubtedly correctly, that It in foolish to wnsto onolhlrd of an inning to nd
vance a man ono baso unless they arc putting tho man where ho can scoro
from on another play of tho same sort or any kind of nn out. But that Is no
rcasqn why somo players do not learn to bunt.
Where, Old Luck Gave the Phils tho Go-by
To Bay that the Pirates got a wonderful break of luck in tho ninth Inning
of tho first gamo is stating tho case mildly, When Manager Clarko removed
McQuillan nnd substituted Cooper, n southpaw, his object was to force
Luderus to bat against pitching ho docs not relish, but Clarko's plan worked
out entirely different than ho expected, but with oven moro success.
Cooper was sent to tho mound to pitch to Just ono batsman, Luderus, as
Mamaux was sent to warm up to pitch to Burns, a right-handed batter.
Cooper upset the dopo by passing Luderus, filling tho bases. Mamaux failed
to get In trim soon enough, and Clarko saw that ho might Just as well take a
chance- with Cooper against Burns. As a rule, Burns hits southpaws hard, but
ho sunt a drlvo to Vlox. who touched second, doubling Nlehoff. It was a
tough break for Moran's men, as it seemed they would surely tlo or win tho
game.
' Another Eddie Collins Ho of the Pirates' Crew
Fred Clarko nas picked up a great youngster In Eddie Collins, who was
with tho Pirates In tho spring, but was sent to Youngstown for further sea
soning. Collins wns tho sensation of the Central League, nnd Clarke realizing
that liu had made a mistake in letting htm go, sent Schccrento Youngstown,
recalling Collins.
Collins has been hitting hard, Is a fast man on the bases and covers as
much ground as any centre fielder in either league, He was almost purchased
by thq Athletics in tho spring of 1913, when he was with San Antonio, nnd
played against the Mackmen In training camp practtco games. Ills work
was first class, and before leaving San Antonio Manager Mack got an option
on both Collins and Davenport, tho big youngster who Is pitching wonderful
ball for tho St. Louis Federals. Mack never exercised the option on either.
Davenport was purchased by the Beds in August of l6l3, but he Jumped to the
Federals in the middle of last season. Collins stayed with San Antonio until
last fall.
Mack Probably Discussed Trade of Oldring
Manager Maclc and Ownor Hedges, of tho Browns, held a long consulta
tion in St. Louis prior to tho departure of tho Mackmen for Chicago, and the
old rumor that Baker and Mclnnls might becomo tho property of the Browns
was revived, but our guess Is that Rube Oldring was discussed more than
any one else. It is a certainty that "Shag" Thompson will be a regular
next season, and it Is a well-known fact that Mack has another outfielder
under cover who will bo a regular along with Strunk; so it would be no
great surprise if nubo Oldring would play elsewhero before the close of tho
present season,
Record Slugging Game in Northwest League
A remarkable game was played In the Northwestern League 'between
Victoria and Tacoma. Tacoma won by the score of 21 to 18, and 60 hits
were, made by tho two teams, with 26 going to Victoria. Catcher Haworth,
of Victoria, made n home run, triple, two doubles and a single out of five
trips to tho plate, while Johnson, Grover nnd Hogan, of Tacoma, and Kaylor,
of Victoria, had four hits each, Including at least two extra-base hits In
their total. Thero wero ID two-baggers, three triples and one homo run
made in tho game, bringing the total baso record up to 18, a record for
modern baseball. This game is all the more remarkable because of the high
calibre of ball generally played in tho Northwestern League.
New York Scribe Has. Two-week Siesta
Bome people in New York who aro always laughing at "Slowtown." mean
ing Philadelphia,' take an occasional nap themselves, A scrlbo sent out a
leport that Hub Perdue, of the Cardinals, was to be traded for Raleigh
Altohtson, of Brooklyn. The report read all right, but the scribe overlooked
the. faet that Altchison was released two weeks ago and is now pitching fine
hajl for the Mobile Club, of the Southern League, It would be a good trade
.w... u wu Rwiiuyuim, giving Bumeimng wey navent for a pretty
god pitcher.
Great Opportunity for Miller's Roaraer
If Andrew Miller's 4-year-old Roamr takes up the heavytop impost of
ISO pounds and carries it to, victory in the Suburban Handicap, which will
tib?r in the annuaj meting of the Kmnlre City Racing Association at Bel
mont Park, N. Y tomorrow, she will have established a wonderful record
Boamer has ben qousisterit. When the Suburban Handicaps were first
arranged It was thought 1S6 pounds would be a sufficient burden. However
Reamer's hollow vlotory In the Brpokdala Handicap last Saturday settled that
matter. She will now have to go through the dlstanee with an additional five
pounds. It merely shows (be respect the handleapper hag for the great Miller
performer.

he struck out 10 men, Is being watched by I

"Now you listen fo me," aaitl the owner,
try his "dope" was tho highest compli
ment Bruno knew how to pay found that
It burned like lire nnd smelled like a
Chlneso laundry. Smelzer made the stuff
on tho clubhouse stove, boiling n great
dlshpan full of the mess, and pouring it
Into Jars to cool and harden into a thin
Jelly. If results wero not satisfactory,
Bruno would throw out the whole boil
ing and make up another batch.
Charllo Grubb was the manager and
team captain for the Blue Jays, who held
hla Job in spite of the fact that he was
always at war with the owner, Dave Bui
len. Charlie did not have any particular
love for Bruno, and would have been
glad to rid himself of the veteran, but
tho only tlmo ho monitored this to Bui
ten, ho ran headfirst In'o a stone wall.
Bullcn did not often put his foot down,
but when ho did thero was nn end to tho
argument.
"Now you listen to me," said tho owner.
"You let thnt old boy nlono; understand.
Ho won 607 por cnt. of his games Inst
year, and that makes him a good pltchor
-os good as wo'vo got. And oven If he
couldn't pitch. a lick on enrth, he's worth
his salary for what ho can teach these
new kids breaking in. He's got more base
ball savvy than you or any other man
ager In this league, and there's Just one
thing you can't do and get nwny with
start a row with I-runo. You lay off
him, Grubb. And anol.or thing any tlmo
ho comes to you and says he's ready to
pitch, you send him In. He's tho best
Judge of when he's rotdy, nnd I won't
havo you ordering hlrr cut thero when ho
doesn't feel like working. That goes, nnd
don't you forget It!"
Grubb was furious He complained thai
Bruno would UFeet the regular routine
of tho pitchers whe worked In turn; but,
by special dispensation, Bruno became a
law unto himself He was "strong" with
tho owner, who liked him better than nil
tho other players on tho pny roll. Bruno
worked when ho was ready, and at no
othor time; and ho mado his own calcu
lations with a coolnfcas which exasperated
Grubb beyond tho mere relief of words,
Bruno figured thnt ho should pitch 30
times a season, and ho prepared himself
for each contest as carefully as a debu
tanto prepares for her coming-out party.
This preparation, which never varied, was
quite a ceremonious nffalr
When tho early birds and every team
has two or three bnseball "bugs" who
show up at tho clubhouse at noon found
all the doors and windows closed, nnd
were saluted upon entry by a withering
blast which would have done credit to a
Turkish bath house, they know that
Bruno was "readying up for n game." Ho
was sure to be Bitting by the stove,
stripped to the waist and soaking In tho
terrific hent like a salamander.
The other players complained of the
heat In the clubhouse and well they
might, for the weather was usually hot
enough to suit any one but Bruno never
paid the slightest attention. One o'clock
was the hour set for "limbering up." He
would rise and put his left arm through
n gentle course of calisthenics, bending
the elbow and stretching the muscles for
half an hour. Then out would come a
two-quart glass Jar of the precious "dope"
with which Bruno would smear hla left
arm from wrist to shoulder, not forgetting
the back muscles.
Sclentifio massage treatment was next
on the program. The rubbing, patting,
pinching, kneading and slapping of the
ten-thousand-dollar arm would continue

LI KM U" ' SI'
EVENING LEDGER MOVIES-WELL, JAMES LAWRENCE, THEY NEVER CAUGHT GEORGE WHITTED
for some tlmo. By long practice, Smelzer
had learned how to get at ovcry mUBclo
which had anything to do with the work
ing of his most valuable membor.
The Bluo Jays of seven years ago will
never forget what happened when
"Major 'Bones," newly appointed ns offi
cial rubber. Joined tho club. Major Bones
was a young negro who had worked in
a Turkish bathhouse long enough to get
tho idea that what ho did not know about
massage treatment was not worth bother
ing to learn. Ho was also ambitious to
please, nnd it shocked him to see one of
tho playors rubbing his own arm. Tho
major leaped to tho conclusion that Bruno
was doing his own work because the
former rubber had been Incompetent.
"Jus" you lemme have that ol' ahm,
suh," said the major, by way of intro
duction. "I'll show you how I ust' rub
MIstoh Kid McCoy!"
Smelzer grunted In surprise, and went
on kneading and pinching his bleeps.
Major Bones pressed his suit warmly.
When he arrived at tho direct statement
that no mtro ball player could rub his
own arm and do the Job properly, Bruno,
who was a peaceful soul, and loved quiet
so woll that he would do battlo for it,
picked up a chair and knocked Major
Bones head over heels through a locker
door.
Then ho calmly resumed
whore he had left off.
After massage, Smelzer would get Into
a heavy woolen undershirt, his uniform
shirt, and, last of all, a great whtto
sweater. Bruno had three sweaters for
different sorts of weather. The first one
was as thick as a board, and the others
wore thicker.
Dressed for public appearance, the old
man would cajolo somo youthful catcher
Into accompanying him out behind the
Meaohers, whoro not a breath of air was
stirring. Here he would shed his sweater
and pitch for half an hour. If the arm
felt all right," he would work for 15
minutes, after which he would put on
his sweater again and watch the game
from the sunny end of the bench.
