JUGGLING OF A GOOD PITCHING STAFF CRIPPLES CUBS-"BLACKLISTED," BY VAN LOA
ALLEGED RUSE TO SHIELD SISLER
BLOW TO BASEBALL AMATEURISM
Clarke, Pittsburgh Pirates' Owner, Reveals Trick by Which
Michigan University Star "Put One Over" on College Rivals.
f Roger Brcsnahan Ruining a Great Pitching Staff.
i , .
Before the National Commission Is through threshing1 out the Slslcr ense,
baseball "amateurism" at several colleges will receive an awful blow. Slslcr was
a professional long before he entered Michigan, according to President Dreyfuss,
of the Pittsburgh club. Dreyfuss Is making n, fight for the Michigan University
star, who has been playing great ball for the Browns.
According to the nmdavlts filed by tho Pittsburgh Club, President Drcyfusa
purchased the relcaso of Blsler from tho Akron club, of tho Ohio and Penn
sylvania League, Ave years ago. This was Immediately after Slslcr had been
graduated from high school and prior to the time ho entered Michigan.
Manager Clafkc looked Slslcr over and decided that ho needed further season
ing and turned him over to Columbus, of tho American Association, which has
always been used as a farm by Pittsburgh. It was at this tlmo that Slslcr wrote
President Dreyfuss, begging the Pittsburgh owner to release him and mention
nothing about his playing professional ball, as ho wan about to enter Michigan
and did not want his "amateur standing" Impaired. In return for this favor,
Blsler Informed Dreyfuss that ho would sign with tho Pirates us soon as ho was
graduated from Michigan.
Slslcr "Covered Up" for Two Years as Amateur
Dreyfuss was suspicious, and exercised his option on Blsler unci placed his
namo on tho reserve list of tho Pittsburgh club for two years. Slslcr became
worried and wrote Dreyfuss again, asking that his namo bo taken from tho
reserve list, as Michigan was about to start an Investlgatoln. This tlmo Dreyfuss
agreed to help SlBlcr, and his name was withdrawn from the reserve list.
In return for these favors Slsler proceeded to sign up with Branch Itlckcy,
who had coached the Michigan team when Slsler first blossomed forth as a star.
It Is oven Intimated that tho whole affair was engineered by Rickey.
According to recent decisions of tho United States Courts, a player becomes
a free agent In tho eyes of tho law If he remains out of the gamo for ono year;
but according to the National Commission, which governs organized ball, a
player is tho property of a club In thnt body so long as that club cares to
resorvo him. To rcservo him, tho club must send tho player nt least one con
tract a season. Pittsburgh failed to send Slsler a contract during tho last two
years, only at SIsler's request.
Dreyfuss Tells mournful Tale of Collegians' Perfidy
Slsler has proved a great drawing card In St. Loulu, as well as a splendid
player, and thero will be much troublo before Rickey consents to glvo him up,
In coso tho National Commission decides In favor of tho Pittsburgh club.
In presenting his testimony, Dreyfuss mournfully remarked that Slsler was
the fourth college player ho had covered up for sovcral seasons, advancing them
money, etc., and that ho had been fooled on threo of them. Dreyfuss declares
that tho next collegian ho wants he will show him up as a professional beforo
signing him, and then ho will not bo "double-crossed."
Brcsnahan Ruining a Good Pitching Stall
Roger Brcsnahan convinced 8000 fans that tho Cubs cannot hope to win tho
pennant unless Mr. Brcsnahan takes a vacation. When Schuyler Hrltton, presi
dent of tho Cardinals, released Brcsnahan ho was roundly scored by Mound City
fans. Mr. Brltton remarked at tho time that ho did not bellovo any man could
manage a bull team If ho could not manage himself. No other explanation was
forthcoming, but Brltton mado no mistake when ho made that statement.
Brcsnahan has frequently lost his head In this city, but never has ho shown
such poor Judgment as In tho present series. It has been freely predicted that
tho Cuba wcro about through, so far as being pennant contenders, and John
McGraw, manager of tho Giants, has said that ho would feel llko quitting tho
league If such a team could win tho National League pennant. McGraw is
about right in sizing up tho Cubs. There is a lot of natural strength in tho
machine, but it plays less Intelligent baseball and Is handled In poorer shape
than any club In tho league.
The Warmine-up Process Worked to Frazzle
Tho complaint has been mado throughout the season by Bresnahan that his
pitching staff was not working right; but ho has no ono to blame but himself.
Although ho Is a catcher himself nnd should be a good handler of twlrlers, Bres
nahan would ruin tho best pitching staff in tho country if ho worked them as
he has worked his pitchers recently.
Yesterday tho Cub manager sent four pitchers Into tho gamo and warmed
up another, thus virtually ruining his staff for a few days. Warming up day
after day does moro to take tho strength away from a pitcher and to cause him
to lose his effectiveness than overwork In actual games; but Bresnahan appears
to lose sight of this fact.
Tho manager who succeeds in baseball is tho ono who is looking nhead, and
this trait seems to be missing from Bresnahan's make-up.
In Ngw York recently ho sent three of his best twlrlers Into a game that
ended 2 to 0, and ho warmed up two others, while four twlrlers were used In one
amo and threo Innings of tho other dn Monday, to say nothing of two others
who warmed up continually during tho afternoon.

Phillies Acquire That Old Pep That Means Victory
The victory meant much to the Phillies, as It will glvo tho players even more
confidence than they have Bhown during the homo stand. When a team comes
through In auch a spectacular manner, It invariably goes Into every game with
the idea that no pitcher can stop it. It was by far tho most sensational finish
eon in this city this season, and seldom has ono stirred up tho crowd bo much.
Most of tho fans were getting ready to leavo the park when tho rally
started, when Byrno drew a pass, with ono man out. Bresnahan sent Zabol
from tho mound at this stage and sent In Pierce. Thelan mado a poor throw
after handling Bancroft's grounder cleanly, nnd then Stock, batting for Becker,
was passed, filling tho bases. Brcsnahan stormed about for a time and then sent
Plerco to the bench and called in Larry Cheney. Tho second ball pitched to
Cravath was lined into left for a slnglo. Byrno and Bancroft scored, while Stock
reached third on this drive.
When a Good Pitcher, Cheney, Blew
With ono run needed to tlo tho score, many of tho fans and most of the
Cubs were looking for tho "squeeze play," but Nlehoff hit tho first ball pitched
against tho bleacher wall In deep centre for two bases, scoring Stock and Cravath,
while ho went to third on tho throw-in. The Cubs were badly rattled by this
tune, and Whltted nnd Nlehoff pulled a perfect "squeeze," tho latter scoring.
Cheney threw tho ball into right flold and Whltted went to second. Cheney went
still further In tho air and uncorked two successive wild pitches, which permitted
Whltted to score. Luderus and Burns went out, but tho damage had been done
and tho crowd was wild With excitement. The Cubs tallied ono on Al Demaroe
In the ninth, but their spirit was gone and they were never dangerous.

Supreme Joy of Links, Hole In One, Falls to G. W. Statzell
G, W. Statzell, Jr., of the Aronlmlnk Club, had an experience yesterday In
the play at tlje Phllmont Country Club that comes to few, He holed out a 130
yard stretch (tho Uth hole) In J. It was while playing in the Invitation handi
cap tournament that his record was established.
So far as can be found, this is the first time In the history of (ho game In
Philadelphia that such a. remarkable feat has been accomplished.
Mr. Statzell teed for his shot, and then drove the ball on to the green: It took
s. little hop and then gently rolled Into the cup, Some wonderful shots have
been made on tho local links this year, but Mr, Statzell'a "takes the cake."
Last Saturday, on the greens of the Huntington Country Club, Douglas
Conklln, president of the Bank of Huntington, L. I., holed out In 1. In this
Instance the ball was lost an hour before ona of the caddies discovered it in

By CHARLES
The World's Most Famous
Mr. niin. who lells tho story, li airing n
righteous grievance against Ike Small, manager
of tho nellinghams, with whom ho Bret broke
into fast company as a pitcher, lie tells of
his first day. when Small took him out for
practice.
Sn all tauht him a lot of roal baseball. The
Bolllnebams have for rivals the Titus lie
leam. Of iho latter Jimmy Dougherty, the
"riea," Ib the Btor player. Ho Is so small
that It Is Impossible to pitch to him.
One fellow like Jimmy Dougherty can
keep a ball club all stirred up and worried
something frightful. Tho lnlleldcrs get
norvous, wondering what he's going to
do, and knowing that when he docs It
they've got to handle tho ball fast and
clean and make no mistakes or they'll
lose him. It's ono thing to pull off a
ciialn-llghtnlng piece of Holding, but it's
another to do It when you know before
hand that you've got to. A fellow sort
of feels responsible and worried, and
gets a crazy sort of a notion that ho
wants to throw tho ball beforo It gets
to him. Then, of courso, ho boots one,
and there goes the old ball game.
It don't do a pltcner no good, neither,
to have a pest like that loose behind him,
and It cets a catcher to crabbing. Tlia
outfielders, they get mad at the lnlleldcrs
for making errors, and first thing you
know you got a lot of Missouri love
talk floating around on tho bench every
body beefing at everybody elsc-and, as
the papers Gay, a fine tlmo Is had by all
present. I'd almost rather have three
men on and a heavy hitter up than to
have Jimmy Dougherty on first baso with
nobody out. Thore'd be less chance of
tho whole team going up In the air
behind me.
Well, now, about that trouble with Iko
Small, I wasn't forgetting It, but so'a
you get tho full benefit of what hap
pened you have to know about the Flea.
Ha was mixed In with It.
We went ulong to the end of the season,
about breaking even with Tltpsvllle, and
both of us kicking tho stufflng out of Mill
City and Wavcrly. I got along all right
with Ike and never had no cause to
complain of the way he treated me. I
minded my business, which was pitching
ball; and ho minded his, which was play
ing first and running the club. I wouldn't
go so far as to say ho was In any way
Intimate oft tho field, because he wasn't.
Small kind of flocked by himself, Still,
you'd never thought he would have done
me dirt like he did, tho low-down, un
grateful, ornery houndl I get hot every
time I think about how ho knifed me in
the baclc
Coming down to the last two weeks of
tho season, I could set, that the close
race was beginning to get Ike's "animal"
a little bit Ills Angora was kind of Mat
ting In a nervous sort of way. He took
to fighting; umpires and hollering at us
for nothing, and things like that. I've
heard that It was tipped off to him that
It he wanted to manage the club another
year he'd Detter come through, with a
winner. Abe Marx was the owner of
the team, and It would have been Just
like him to say that.
Belli ngham Is a good ball town the;
best in the league but, like most of the
good ball towns, It wants a winner or
It has to know why it ain't got one; and
If you're beat In a whisker finish, edged
out by one measly point In the percentage
table, the fans will roar Just as hard as
If you'd been beat a mile. Yes, harder,
because a close finish works 'em all up
and gets 'em excited. It ain't right and
fair, but It's so.
Ike was having his troubles beeause we
couldn't seem to lose that Tltusvllle out
fit. If we hooked up with Waverly and
won lour straight, they'd win four from
Mill City. If they lost a garni we'd loss
one, too, and when we came together'ln a
series it was dog-eat-dog and s!ck-em-Prtnee
for fair, and nobody getting much
advantage. Ike had to shoulder all the
responsibility, of course, and It was him
the fans bawled out when we lost a

game. I never saw auch unreasonable
people; If wo'd dono It a-purpoae they
couldn't havo mado moro of a fuss.
Well, sir, it came right down to ono
game for the bacon with Tltusvlllo on
our homo grounds, tho last day of tho
season. It was ono of them heart-disease
finishes you read about, but don't see
very often. In any league. Tho Belllng
ham folks simply acted scandalous In
that last series, and when wo had a
chance to sew things up by winning tho
next to tho last game and blow It by one
run In tho 11th Inning I thought sure
wo'd bo mobbed.
Why, they come right out on th,o field
and chased Iko to tho clubhous'o. That
night they wcro saying that he threw tho
gamo to get one moro big crowd, and all
sorts of stuff llko that. Grown people
can act awful childish at times. If it had
been a world's scries we'd been playing
thare couldn't have been no moro ex
citement or scandal. And us out thero
doing It all for slxty-flvo a month! It
wasn't enough moneyl
Ike saved me for tho lifit game, which
ought to satisfy anybody that he thought
I was a better pitcher than Kellerman.
F
"Htggs," eayj Tie, "It's up to you."
lere's them that has doubted It a
There's them that has doubted It and
said so. I ain't knocking Kellerman any;
I think he's a grand pitcher, and got
everything a man ought to have, but
shucks! I won't say no more. It was
me that Ike picked, and you can draw
your own conclusions.
We was dressing In the clubhouse after
the ll-lnnlng game and Ike came over to
me, biting his fingernails and rolling hla
eyes, nervous-like. Thero was a mass
meeting waiting outside to Interview him.
"Biggs," says he, "It's .up to you.
They'll shoot old Anstruther at ua tomor
row sure, and that means a tough game;
but you've boat him before and you can
do It again. You got to. Get In there
and pitch your head off, and I'll see that
Abe does the right thing by you; you
won't lose nothing; I promise you that.
If I had'your arm and my head I'd make
Chris Mathewson look like a selling
plater!" He laid It on thick, but most of what he
said was the truth at that. He knew that
,1 wasn't the excitable kind, and never
paid much attention to noise. When I'm
Pitching baseball that's all I'm doing;
I ain't got no time toi listen to what
they're saying about me over on the
bleachers.
You talk, about a crowd? All of Bell
Ingham and .half of Tltusvllle was at
that last game. They came with tin
horns nnd cow bells nnd horso fiddles and
wnsh bolleTR, and ono fellow from Tltus
vlllo had a Blldo trombone. But tho worst
of all was an automobile salesman from
Tltusvllle. Ho brought nlong eight or
ten of them electric sirens and batteries
to work 'cm. Just ono would havo boon
bad enough, because I never hear that
noiso without wanting to drlvo Into tho
ditch nnd then look behind me; but this
boy was no piker; ho brought nil ho
had, and when ho, pressed tho button
Onbrlcl's trump they talk about wouldn't
have been deuco high. It was unhuman,
that's what It was.
Tho Belllngham boys figured that root
ing by electricity was going a little too
far, so they up and at tho Tltusvljjo
gang, and thero was one of tho finest
lights you most ever saw. Our boys got
tho sirens all right, but tho Tltusvlllo
bunch hung on to tho batteries, and of
courso they wasn't good for much apart.
Tho man with the Blldo trombone had
about two Joints of It rammod down his
neck and broke off, and Gld Dennleon,
tho city marshal, got his coat tore all up
tho back merely from standing on tho
outskirts of the fracas and saying, "Let's
havo a little order here, please." Tako
It all around, wo was pretty well keyed
up bofore tho gamo Btartcd.
When Jlpimy Dougherty walked out to
lead off for Tltusvllle you'd have thought
It was Roosevelt coming homo from
Africa, or something llko that; but tho
visitors quieted down tho minute I began
to wind up. People can't yell and watch
tho break on tho ball at the same time
a good thing, when you come to think
of it.
Well, I know what I had to do with that
baby. Me and Pete Blanoy had talked
It over beforehand. Tho Flea got down
over the plate and humped himself till
ho wasn't much bigger than nn organ
grinder's monkey and I cut loose with
a fast ono right over tho middle, of tho
pan. What's moro, It was Jimmy's head
I was shooting at.
Hays I to myself: "If you get bcaned
today, old horso, you'll get It so hard
that your great-grandfather's head'U
acho for tho next hundred years!"
Ordinarily I wouldn't tako no chance
on beanlng anybody with that groover
of mlno, but this was a special occa
sion, and If he was going to try to get
on first that way I meant to glvo him
something to take with him that
wouldn't do him a bit of good. It was
a hum-dlnger of a fast ball, and Jimmy
Just did manage to Jerk his head out
of tho way of H, and the roar that ho
put up was marvelous to hear, consid
ering the size of him. The umplro called
It a strike.

RUNS SCORED BY
MAJORS THIS WEEK
When the cgg.of the duck and a golf
ball play on the samo green thero Is evi
dently something doing. Yesterday thero
was. Nobody nt Phllmont know exactly
what the Idea of nil the birds, hens and
ducks pottering around the links was
until Georgo W. Statzell. Jr., of Aronl
mlnk, showed them. Of courso It was
only a. chance, but Statzell and his part
ner, Henry Hots, of Lansdownc, enmo
tO tllb Short lllll, T1I0 only gnuery won
a duck squatted near the green, goring
skyward wishing, for rain. Hole yelled
"foro" nnd pitched his ball near tho
duck. The duck ducked nnd galloped to
the other side of tlio green. Then Statzell
shot his ball. On tho green thero was
nothing vlslblo but a duck ogg. Statzell
found bis ball In tho holo and Hots got
a two. .
If was decided that tho egg was laid
aftor Hots mado his drive, and that tho
well-known hypnotics power of tho egg
had caused the second ball to do down.
Hotz regrets thntho drove so hastily, as
ho feels that he, too, would havo had n
"ono" If ho had waited. Aftor this a
holo shot In ono will bo known as a
"duck egg."
''Thnnk you for your thoughtfulness,"
said Statzell to the duck.
"QUack, quack," said tho duck as It
flow Into a nearby tree and calmly combed
out Its ruffled feathers.
In going around tho links ono runs Into
somo peculiar lies. Hero is one:
A. D. Glnthor says ho was playing tho
fourth holo at Huntingdon Valley last
week In a 22-holo match. Tho break
might have como wlfh any shot and
Glnthor was all worked up. Ho hod a
long drive; but a tremendous second shot
struck In tho limbs of tho cherry tree
to tho right of tho green, bringing out a'
squawky bird as well as a shower or.
leaves and limbs.
A prolonged search In the rough all
arcund tho green failed to show tho
ball. ;
"Maybe It stayed In tho tree," laughed
Glnthor. Anyhow ho climbed up and
was having n lino tlmo gathering cherries
on tho wny when ho camo to a groat cloJ
6t poison Ivy. Tho bird, which had set
tled, roso agnln with an alarmed cry
from a nest of eggs. And, caught on
tho edgo of tho nest was tho missing
ball. It was a peculiar lie.
Calling for his niblick, with tho bird
screaming o'erhead Glnthor mado a neat
allot to the grcon below,
Thoro was something moro about how
tno bird, thinking ono of her eggs had
gono bounding from tho host, flow over
tho ball ns It rolled and, fussing around,
pushed It closo to the hole, enabling
Glnthcr to got a par four and win tho
hole.
What kind of a bird Inhabited tho nest
