An English paper Bays that once at Bt

Bay Is said to have puffed two at the

twice, with suspended club before he wai

James Thompson, "pro" at tho Cricket
Club, went around with him, but waa un
able to play because of an attack of poi
son ivy, Anderson played eight holes,
having arrived late, and had "even
fours." This Included two blrda and a
3 on the dtnicu)t fourth hole, considered
one of the finest tests in the country.
"I feel hully," said Tom as ho aald
good-by, "and I'm going to give 'em all
I've got at Shawnee."
Tom la a brother of Willis Anderson,
who set up tho course record at the
Cricket Club with a 67 a year ago.
A quartet of well-known women golfers
had a lively go yesterday when Mrs.
Caleb Fox, Huntingdon Valley, and Miss
M. Naylor, Philadelphia Cricket, faced
Jilts Mildred Caverly and Miss Florence
McNeely, both of the Cricket Club, over
the Cricket Club course.
Tho scores hovered around the 90s, none
of tho players being In a particularly
brilliant golfing state of mind.
The drive on the seventh hole is across
a dep valley and the pin Is "blinded"
by the huge trees which rise out of the
depths.
Nearly all players "shyster" badly on
the hole, choosing the easy shot In the
open to the, left rather than to try to
shoot over the trees directly, In front.
"Let's see the middle tree Is the one
to gpover, isn't it?" sala Mrs. Fox, as
phe teed up her ball. "It Is," was the
solemn reply. So Mrs. Fox up and Just
naturally went over, choosing the exact
spot.
"I love this drive,'" she said. "If I
can only make this one shot when I come
over here I don't care how mahy other
shots I fall down on."
ED WALSH TO PITCH
HIS FIRST OF SEASON
Athletics Face White Sox' Vet
eran Twirler in Final Game
at Chicago.
CHICAGO. July 16. Ed Walsh, for
years premier pitcher of the American
League and the "Iron man" of baseball,
will try to come back today in the game
against the Athletics. Walsh has not
pitched a game this season, as he haa
been in California recovering from Ill
ness. The tmpreslon Is general that
Walsh is about through as a major league
pitcher, but Owner Comtskey is con
vlnced that the famous spltballer has a
year or two of good pitching left In his
right arm and has set aside today as
Walsh Day for "Big Ed" to try to come
back. Wyckoft will pitch for the Ath
letics. In the three games here the Mackmen
played Ane ball, and would have won two
of the three games had not the pitching
been poor. The return to form of Brest
ler has been the feature of the Athletics'
road work to date, and Mack is how con
vinced that the big southpaw will be ef
fective for the rest of the season.

A PAIR OF TROUSERS; THEY TELL
STORY OF BRAVES' STANDING
By GRANTLAND RICE
The Ultimate Query
Asfc me when the war will end in Eu
ropt; Or ask me toftlch alliance Alls the mat;
Ask me when English sheila
Will destroy the Dardanelles,
Or any other simple thing like that.
Slip me out some query as to Bryan;
Concerning such I'll lend a cheerjul ear;
In fact, I'll meet each task
Just so long as you don't ask
Who'll bag the N1. L. pennant race this
year.
Prof. C. Dryden, the eminent historian,
has outlined the exact status pt this sea
son's National League pennant campaign.
Professor Dryden figures that as most
of the clubs are now playing there will be
eight second division teams at the fin
ish, with no flag winner anywhere In
sight.
The .400 Clasa
It has been 14 years since.' a Nations
League batsmen hit above .400. And this
entry was Napoleon Lajoie, back with the
Phillies In 1901. Larry left the Phillies
after that and the only two men since
who have batted above .4C0 In any major
league are Cobb and Jackson, Jackson
and Cobb both beat the mark In 1311, and
Cobb repeated In 1912. The Star Tiger
Slipped back In 1913 and 1914. but he is
giving the superaverage another terrific
hand-to-hand conflict this season.
Below Normal
For the second time In 13 years Math
ewson is upon the verge of completing a
aeason without having won 20 or more
games. Hla only slip before since 1903
was In 1910. when he won 17 games and
lost 4, toeing unable to work his allotted
share.
He still has a miracle chance to achieve
JO conquests, but the assignment im't
likely to be carried through. For he will
barely be able to work In 10 games the
next three months, and If he worked he
would need 16 victories against 4 defeats
to get by.
We asked Jimmy Archer a day or so
ago what he thought was the main mat
ter with the Cubs, having at that time
dropped seven straight. "Whatever we
do," replied JameB, "hasn't been good
enough to win." Which is about as good
an answer to a slump as any other we
can think of at this moment.
For at times there are no explaining

slumps. They merely come and go, with
out apparent cause or reason. It all rests
in a weird mixture of the physical, the
psychological and tho mentnl-too weird
a mixture to be outlined.
Some years ago, when Lajole's batting
eye was at Its brightest glow, we o
call one season whero the big French
man wap tearing the hide off the ball. He
was well over .400, hitting them all wltn
equal eclat. And then, without any
cause, ho landed suddenly tn a slump
and traveled 11 games before he got hla
next baae hit. Through this period he
never felt better, physically or mentally.
But he couldn't hit one safe. Which was
about all there was to It In the way of
explanation.
A Matter of Trousers
One day last fall George Stalllnga waa
discussing the wear and tear upon
trousers. The Big Brave Chief, who haa
the habit of gliding from one end of the
bench to the''-othorthrough each game,
eaid he' was only able to maintain the
same pair or trousers for a week. "And
.when things . are ' breaking badly," he
added, "I generally use up two pairs n
week, a3 I then slide farther and faster."
We have wondered once or twice Just
how many troiiser manufactories have
been required to lit out Stalllngs this sea
son. Flash? Where?
"Don't begin ranking Alexander,"
writes In a fan. "with Mathewson. John
son. Walsh and others until he has been
at it longer. One season's flash doesn't
mean a great pitcher. There have heeu
several who have had a flash for one
season but they couldp't last."
Alexander is now several leagues be
vond anv mere flash. We wonder if the
fanatlo who gave vent to this thought
knows that in 1911, his first year out.
Alexander won 28 games; In 1913 he landed
19 victories; In 1913 he bagged 22 starts
out of 30 games; last season his total
was 27 victories.
So Alexander has had four fine years
back of him and his fifth promises to be
well beyond them all. He was ranked
by all ball players as the star pitcher of
the National League last year the hard
est man to beat He will certainly main
tain that same standard this year. It
Alexander is merely a "flash." how lonit
does a bloke have to operate above par
to be considered an established article?
About every other week Jack Coombs
Is read out of the profession with hla
Dltehintr davs over. And soma 24 houra
later Mr. Coombs reports with most of
the old-time sturr that Uliea mm lo tns
top nine years ago.
We have at last run across tho world's
record In conservative prophecy. It comes
from a scribe who. In siting up the Amor
jean League race, writes that "It looka
now aa If the White Sox. Red Sox or
Tigers will land the Ban Johnson bunt
ing this season." When you come to think
It over, the fellow may be right.
It's a pity that California hasn't any
tennis players of first rank. Something
ought to be done about It,
NOTES AND COMMENT

Great Battle in Final St.
Louis Game Vital Con
test Expected
The Cardinals will make their last stand
today with the star twirler of Muggins"
staff, Bill Doak, as their hope. Doak Is
one of the beet pitchers In the National
league, and a defeat for tho St. Louis
with him on the mount probably will fin
ish up the disrupting of the hall team that
was started by Manager IlUggtns yester
day. A victory for the Cards today may re
new hope and the team may enme back to
Its stride In a few days. Back In 1913
tho pennant hopes of tho Phillies were
completely shattered by Just one game,
similar to that of yesterday. On that oc
casion Manager Dooln used Alexander.
Chalmers, Brcnnnn and Scaton In a U
Innlug game against the (Hants, and hail
nd twlrlers left for a double-header the
following day.
Certain players, now playing elsewhere
chlded others, and a spirit of discontent
cropped out. Thereafter thero was noth
ing to the pennant race but the Giants.
Hugging probably hns better control of
hla men, but he Is facing a toimh Job
and evidently realizes It today.
Manager Moran will send Eraklne
Mayer to the mound In the hope of mak
ing u lour in a row rrom the team that
he most feared. If .'Mayer Is right, tho
Phils have better than an even chance
agalnat the star of the Cardinal staff,
but If 'he pitches as he did In the Inst
two weeks, a relief pitcher will bo needed
early.

Armstrong and Johnson Defeat
ed in Norristown Tennis Play,
Causing Big Upset.
NORRISTOWN. July 1S.-J. J. Arm
strong and W. F. Johnson, who were ex
pected to capture the Schuylkill Valley
lawn tennis championship In doubles nt
the Plymouth Country Club, were put
out of the tournament In the second
round yesterday by W. T. Tllden. Jr., and
young Roy Coffin, of the Oermantown
Cricket Club. This reverse camo like a
bolt from the blue, not only to the specta
tors, who were out In fairly large num
bers, but to the contestants as well. Til
den was at his best, while equal credit for
tho victory must go to his youthful part
ner. The semifinal round In singles was
reached and will be played today. Two
Plymouth stars, Norman V. Swayno and
William Watt, meet In tho upper half of
the draw, and In the other match W. T.
Tllden, Jr., plays Dwlght It. Melg3. If
the "dope" works out, Tllden and Swayne
will play In the final and championship
round tomorrow.
With the contestants in singles nar
rowed down to four, excellent progress
should be made In the doubles today.
The most likely iooklng teams In this
event now are Dr. E. B. Dewhurst and S.
W. Pearson, and D. R. Meigs and W. S.
Cushlng'.
