'TWAS THE MAKING OF RIXEY
AND BREAKING OF THE CARDS
Philties' Victory Brings Okt Real Fighting Stuff in Supposed
Timid Tioirlcr Huggins Loses His Temper and Tears Up
His Ball Team Detroit Needs Just 0hc Real Pitcher.
KELLY BUYING A NEW PILL
The Cardinals arrived In this city a real pennant contender In the National
- league, but they will leave a fondly disorganized team that may possibly find a
berth In the second division before the season Is over, unless appearances are
deceiving.
Jt Is one thing to loso a ImiII game, or three or four In a row, for that matter,
but much depends oil how they are lost. Yesterday's defeat at the hantls of the
rhlllles undoubtedly will havo a bad effect on the Cardinals, as the players fought
' with Mffch other and Manager liugglns lost his head completely. Incidentally,
tho victory was the- making of Kppa ltlxcy.
Lack of confidence and fighting spirit has been the greatest drawback to tho
pitching of tho lanky Virginian ever slnco he Joined the team, and tho fans had
Just about lost hope that ho would over bo a star, until a row weeks ago. Itlxoy
possesses a remarkable amount of "stuff," but always cracked In a pinch, and
oven when ho was pitching good ball this season ho showed a tendency to loso
heart, llut yesterday, for tho first time, tho righting spirit that must lurk In
this big powerful chap asserted itself,
Itkcy Shows the Ileal FiRlitlnK Stuff
One year ago, or even a week ago, Illxcy would havo looked for help when
his support acted .as It did for n brief period In tho fifth inning yesterday.
Instead, Itlxoy was on his mcttlo until tho closo of tho gamo and growing
ntronger every Inning, Ho showed an aggrcsslvo and confident spirit during
tho closing Innings that presages good things for tho future.
Jack Coombs, now recognized as ono of tho gnmest men who over donned a
Uniform, was called "quitter" and many other unpleasant names for two years
after he Joined tho Stnckmcn, but It was JUBt such a gamo as that of yesterday
In which Coombs enmo through with (lying colors, which proved tho making of
tho "Iron man." It will surely prove tho making of ltlxcy, or somebody misses
a good guess.
Hugging Loses His Head and Upsets Ills Team
Manager Huggins, of tho Cardinals, was so enraged at the sudden turn In
the game, when tho I'ltlls transformed nn apparent defeat into n tlo In the sixth
inning, that ho began to fight with his players. Tho manner In which ho "rodo"
young Tom Long was a shame. Long Is but a youngster, and a promising ono
nt that, but Huggins went out of his way to abuse him In full view of tho spec
tators. Nervo Is a great thing and so Is aggressiveness, but Long will have to
havo moro of both than ho Is likely to ncnulro beforo ho can bo of much
valuo to tho Cardinals.
Long probably felt worso about his mlsplay on Crnvath'a line drive, which
was a hard chance, than Huggins did, and there was no occasion for such an
outburst. To mako matters worse, Huggins did not stop "riding" Long until the
game was over, and probably ho went after him again In tho clubhouse. It was
K badly disorganized ball team that went to tho dressing rooms after the game.

righting Spirit Wins a Great Hnll Game
Three In a row from the Cardinals Is a great record, but while tho victories
nro Important, the manner in which thay were obtained Is by far moro importnnt
to tho pennant-chasing Phils. Yesterday tho gamencss of Moran's men was put
to a test again, and onco moro they camo through with flying colors. Just about
two moro victories in succession, in which this grand spirit is shown, and tho
fans may rest assured that thero will bo no cracking this season.
Ttoblnson, a southpaw, had tho Phils nt his mercy for five Innings, and, with
a. three-run lead, thero did not seem to bo much of a chance for tho Phillies.
But they kept everlastingly nt It, and In the- sixth tho brenk finally came. Tho
score was tied, and hardly n person in tho park expected tho Phillies to loso then,
but nobody would havo been surprised a few Innings after had tho Cards Anally
won, as the breaks suddenly went against Moran's men.
The Breaks Came and Went; It Had 'Em Guessing
For four successive Innings tho Phillies had great chances to score, but
failed through somo break or other. They tried hitting with men on third, but
that failed. Then they tried tlitf squeeze, and that failed. Some of tho fans were
inclined to doubt the wisdom of tho stylo of play used by Moran, because some
woll-planncd plays wero spoiled mainly through the cloverness of Catcher Snyder.
He spoiled a squeeze play In tho tenth and he outguessed the batsmen and baso
runners several times, but finally Stock, batting for rtixoyv shot a single into
rlgnt. scoring Killefer with tho winning run. It was a wonderful gamo from a
spectator's standpoint. It was full .of uncertainties and lost opportunities, and it
la safe to say that it was tho most talked-of gamo of tho season.

Detroit Willing to Give $15,000 for Kcal Pitcher
Hughey Jennings has offered JIB.OOO for a pitcher. Threo managers havo
received offers for men, but all have turned him down.
Jennings declares that tho Tigers will win the pennant, hands down, with
one pitcher who can hold the opposing team to an averago of four runs a gamo
or less. Donovan was offered this price for either 'Caldwell or Fisher; Manager
Itlckey received a similar proposition for either Wellman or James, whllo Lee
Fohl refused to listen to Jennings when ho tried to Induco him to part with
Ouy Morton or Willie Mitchell.
These three clubs are practically out of tho race, but as each Is building up,
It refused to part with players who apparently havo soverni years to go. When
Fohl turned down Jennings' ofTer for Morton or Mitchell, tho Detroit leader
then boosted -the sum $6000 for Morton, but ho was told that Morton was not for
sale at any price,,
"With Morton, we would win tho pennant easily," says Jennings. "But
,mulul iinomer ursi-ciass twiner, I don't see how wo can do It. Tho boys havo
been hitting well and three of our twlrlers have done all that could be expected
but I must have another. The Red Sox, White Sox and Senators would not think
of selling me a player, whllo tho only man Mack has that I could use, I know I
cannot get, so what's tho use?"
Frank L. Kramer, the Grand Old Man AtnonB Cyclists
America's cycling champion, Frank L. Kramer, has returned to the sport
and If his performance the other night at Newark Is any indication of his future
riding, other cyclists have no chanco to wrest the championship from him.
The grand old man of tho two-wheelers simply toyed with the Australian
champion, Goullett, and won in straight heats. Tho surprising part of it all was
tho ease with which Kramer outlasted the younger man.
Kramer is a clean-llvlng athlete, and in training is one of the most careful
men imaginable. That Is tho Bccret of his success.
Boxing Would Be Too Strenuous Without Clinch
An Englishman has advanced the Idea that a change in the boxing rules Is
necessary where the clinch is concerned. What a great contest would every
fight be, on the level, If the clinch wer. eliminated! It Is not practical and
woud. be too dangerous to enforce. There is a rule calling for a penalty'now
but it is not enforced to the letter. vnauy now,
The spectators at a no-cllnch bout would be in their glory, as the fight
would be either a decisive one or result In disqualification of one of the prln
clpals. The clinch Is really necessary, and the value of the hug cannot be over
estimated When a fighter has battled himself Into a seml-conTcZ laT
would be knocked out, were it not for the clinch. With the clinch in vogue he
is able to regain his strength. - s ' no

There Is hardly any type of fishing that
has so much of the old tradition and folk
lore of the old Jersey fishermen entwined
about Its talcs as the Ilshlns for shoeps
hcad about tho plllnes and wrecks along
tho Jersey const. Tho old salt would
koep his weather oyo peeled for the first
sign of tho dognood blossoms, and when
they mndo their appcarnnco In the spring
tho word would bo passed along and
last year's tacklo would bo gone over nnd
mighty preparations would bo made.
dhecpshcad 1b one of the gamest nnd
most difficult fish to catch, and a sport
that will try tho patience of tho most
persistent of anglers. In former jcars
they wore found In great numbers along
tho Jersey coast in tho vicinity of old
wrecks, pilings nnd alone tho steep banks
In tho thoroughfare and in tho channels
In tho lnlots.
At Corson's Inlet, whero tho fish havo
been recently taken after an absence of
several years, It wns not nn unusual
slsht to see 20 or 30 fishermen planted
along the old bridge waiting for that
elusive touch that told of this king of
tablo fish crushing the clam bait.
Pacts About Sheepshead
The old Jersey salt would cover the in
lets, banks and old wrecks and In a likely
spot a branch of saraafras would bo stuck
In tho mud ut low water, and on tho
following low water this branch would
be Investigated, and If there were any
tmeepsiieaa aoout the bark of tho sassa
fras would bo entirely stripped oft as
far as tho high water mark. This would
tell tho fisherman that nt this particular
spot tho sheepshead had mado merry on
this toothsome bit and would hang around
for more. Then tho fisherman would get
busy nnd nine times out of tep he wouid
get his fish.
Another spot much sought after wns
along tho steep banks, whero trio tide
would bo likely to undermlno tho bank
and largo portions of It would be cut
off, allowing tho clams, hidden In the
bonks, to drop Into tho channel, and here
tho sheepshead would lay In wnlt for such
easily gotten food.
A most unusual feature of ttic sheeps
head la the-fact that ho will stny at one
particular Bpot where food may be found
and will not leave that locality until the
supply Is exhausted. This fact was taken
Into consideration by the old Bait, nnd
thus tho planting of bait waa resorted to
with great success.
Tho blto of the Bheepshead Is a very
unusual one. and to a novice that has his
first strike ho may bo fooled In thinking
he is bothered by a crab. The fish does
not tako tho bait and run with It, like
his brothers, but will tako the clam In
his mouth, crush the shell, suck the meat
from It and spit out the shell, without
hardly a tremor felt, except by the most
experienced fisherman.
Notes on BaBS Fishing
PldJ Hoffman, of New York, who Is a
veteran striped bass fisherman, having
fished tho northern Jersey coast exten
sively, caught his first channel bass,
which weighed 35 pounds, at Corson's on
Sunday last. On tho following morning
no repeated hla performance by beaching
a 36-poundor.
J. W. Jtoore, of Brooklyn, landed a 33
pound channel basB from the surf at
Corson's.
Dr. Frank Lee, of Philadelphia, landed
his first channel bass at Corson's Sun
day. It weighed SO pounds, .
Dr. Emerson Sausser, who la spending
the summer at his bungalow at Ocean
City. Is combing the surf for a channel
bass,
Ike Newlln. of Philadelphia, caught a
30-pound channel bass while surf fishing
at Corson's Inlet, N. J.
George Kennedy, of the Philadelphia
Inqulrer.-ls dally hitting the game fiih
at Corson's, and has some fine catcaes
to hla credit.
Master Harry Kennedy, of Norwood,
Pa., Is the youngest surf fisherman of
the Corson's Inlet colony, and la working
hard to ?atch his first channel bass. This
l!-yeur-old enthusiast -hung a bass, but
over-anxiety loat him his first fish.
The first sheephead of the season waa
caught at Corson's oft the Pennsylvania
bridge on July 7 by George Chalfant, of
Philadelphia. It weighed 9 pounds.
On July 9 Mr. Chalfant bettered his
former catch by landing a UH-pounder,
also a shMphtad. This la unusual, as
this llsh Is almost extinct In theso waters.
At n meeting of tho Ocean City Fishing
Club, held last Friday, an amendment wab
made and passed that thero should bo an
assistant welghmastor stationed on tho
club piers, thus making It possible for
men to weigh in nny largo fish caught
from tho club's pier. Tho club otters to
Its members a silver button for channel
bass weighing 30 pounds and over, and a
gold ono for fish running over 40 poundo.
A silver cup will bo given by Frank Stew
art, ono of tho club members, to any of
tho clubmen catching a channel bass
weighing w pounds and over.
Bullock's Bass Only 55 Pounds
A correction of elcht ounces muRt h
mado for Mr. Bullock's channel bass that
ho caught at CorBon's Inlet last week. It
was weighed at CO pounds, nnd owing to
a controversy ovor tho weight of tho fish
tho scales used wero verified by tho Bu
reau of Weights and Measures of Phlln.
dclphla and found to weigh eight ounces
heavy. This brings Mr. Bullock's fish to
KH pounds. Tho fish measured 40 Inches
In length nnd 3014 Inches In girth. Tho
weight of this fish Is of the greatest im
portance, as it Is a record and may prove
to bo a cup winner among tho clubs and
uiucr contests.
Ward Beam, of Philadelphia, who sum
mers at Ocean City, Is combing the beach
for tho big shark that visited that resort
last year In great numbers. Mr. Beam
landed somo record shark, tho largest
weighing C5 pounds that was taken on
light tackle, and was considered a great
feat among the surf fis-nermen of Ocean
City.
Mr. Beam is one of tho most aggressive
of tho surf fishing colony, nnd weather
conditions do not prevent him from fish.
Ing dally In the surf. Ho Instituted among
"" urK nsnermen tne 'nablt of liberat
ing all tho big shark caught, as ho does
not bcllevo In killing fish that cannot
bo uued for food. Mr. Beam recognizes
surf fishing as a clean and wholeaome
sport
Extenslvo preparations are being made
by t'no Ocean City Fishing Club for its
annual casting contest, and many fine
prizes have been donated by various In
dividuals and concerns. So that tho nov
ice will have a chanco In this contest.
It has been divided into events for those
casting 160 feet and over, 260 feet and over
and the 300 class. In Chicago, whero this
sport Is hardly known, at a contest last
?'.earJ,1. sMery f 1B.00 People followed
the different events.
Surf fishermen of Ocean City will try
and coax the channel bass to that resort
by anchoring a hugo wire crate filled with
oyster ahelis and a bag filled with chum.
At other resorts' where this method haa
been used excellent results have been at
tained, and In former yeara when the
