AUSTRALIANS WILL PLAY FOR
"ANTHONY WILDING" TENNIS TROPHY
Wortd's Greatest Racket Wielder, Who Lost Life in Battle, to
Be Highly Honored Phillies Throw Away Game by
Bad Base Running in Reds' Contest.
At a recent meeting of tho Canterbury Ijiwn Tennis Association, of Chrlnl
fchureh, Now Zealand, a plan to perpetuate the memory of tho lato Anthony P.
Wilding, Australasia's Davis Cup star, who lost his llfo In tho war, was discussed.
It was planned to put up a trophy to be competed for annually by tho
provinces of Now Zealand, much on tho lines of tho Davis Cup, the prizes to bo
awarded for men's and ladles' singles, and some permanent record of "Wilding's
services In tho causo of lawn tennis would be obtained. Tho results of tho dis
cussion wero sent to the New Zealand Association, which will mako tho final
decision.
Kroltzhclm and Kreuzer, members of the German Davis Cup team, aro now
detained In England. The former Is at Donlngham Hall, Derby, along with 70
other odlccrs, but Kreuzer, not being an officer, Is employed loading and unload

The ox-Cambrldgo player, Hopo-Crlsp, was bo seriously wounded In tho
fighting at Hall 60, In Flanders, that his leg had to bo amputated. Hopo-Crhip
and KJngscote, another army man, wero heralded last year as England's two
now tennis stars, and both wero chosen to practice for selection In tho Urltlsh
Isles Davis Cup team.
Crisp's greatest feat In championship tennis was nchloved In tho Bcmlflnal
round for tho Kent championship last Juno, when ho defeated tho famous Inter
nationalist, J. C. l'arke, 6-3, 6-7, 6-0. In tho final round Klngscote triumphed
over Crisp, 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.
About tho only tennis player who did not Join in the chorus of eulogy that
proclaimed Hope-Crisp as a second Dohorty was Wilding. Wilding gavo him
credit for being extremely fast on tho court and having a good firBt scrvlco,
although rather uncertain. Otherwise, according to Wilding, Hopo-Crlsp was

Turn In Your Golf Score Regardless of Consequences
No matter how painful tho operation,
the club ofllclals, even though the tallies may be far from top. Tho growing
habit among golfers of Inquiring tho best score turned In nt the clubhouse and
then destroying their cards Is not likely to help tho game.
A rulo Bhould bo adopted generally requiring all golfers who tee off In a
tournament to return their cards. Data would thus bo available for handicap
purposes. A poor card should bo an Incentive to greater effort the next time.
Thcro Is something radically wrong when 100 golfers enter a tournament
and only a baker's dozen glvo their marks to the officials.
. The Cot's Out of the Bag
Jeromo B catty, a columnUt, of New York, has exposed a hero. Sports experts
havo boon going after Norman Tabcr recently for having set a world's mile
running record. Thoy say ho ran a specially paced race, framed for tho purpose
of forcing him to run tho mllo In such low time. They'ro wrong!
Hero Is Beatty's version: What Taber did havo was a vacuum speeder,
Which ho woro under his athlotlc shirt. It Is built on tho same plan as a vacuum
carpet cleaner. When ho started running ho switched on tho power and the
machine pulled him along over tho course, as a vacuum cleaner pulls dust.
Eppa Jcppa Itlxey wears one. That Is why ho Is able to steal so many bases.
The Old Quositon Is Up Again.
According to tho latest reports, Charley Brlckley, the Harvard gridiron
gladiator, is to coach tho Johns Hopkins football team next fall. This brings
up the question. Will Brickley make good as a coach because ho was a great
player? Bill Hollenback, who has been at State for the last few years, was
one of tho greatest fullbacks the country has ever produced, and he mado good
as a coach. Other great players havo made good coaches, but thero havo been
moro failures than successes achieved by erstwhile football stars. Yost, Stagg
and Percy Haughton aro considered tho best coaching trio In tho land today,
yet not one of them over made the reputation on the field that was made
by Heston, Michigan; Eckersall, Chicago, and Hudson, Carlisle. Thoso last
named wcro.all-Amerlcan selections, and Justly so, but not ono of them produced
as a coach.
Stupid Base Running Loses Phillies' Game
The play that lost yesterday's game for the Phillies probably was discussed
more after tho gamo than any play that has come up on either local field this
season Thero are several ways of looking at it, but ono must not lose sight of
the fact that Manager Morun was coaching on first base, and it looked very
much as though ho signaled for Stock to make his fatal dash to second. Stock
has been called a "bone," and perhaps It was his fault, provided Manager Moran
did not signal him to contlnuo to second, but, any way one looks at It, it was a
horrible, exhibition of base running.
Burns had batted for Rlxey, with ono out, and singled over second. TIncup
was sent In to run for Burns. Stock, who had replaced Byrne at third, came
through with a single, on which Tincup cosily reached third. Here Is the point
at which tho "bone" was Inserted. Stock rounded first, and when ho saw tho
throw from tho outfield going In the direction of third ho bolted for second, but
Herzog Intercepted the throw and Stock was caught between the bases.
Tho Beds chased Stock up and down the lino for a full minute, watching
Tincup all tho while. Finally Tincup wandered too far off, and Bodgers shot tho
ball to Qroh and Tincup was retired, while Stock was on first Instead of second.
It was a weird exhibition, no matter who was to blame, and It was ono of
those plays where everything was done Just as It should not havo been. In the
first place, Stock had no right going to second, regardless of whether Moran sent
hlra down. It Is generally considered good baseball to tie a game up first and
then think about winning it. Stock had accomplished his purpose In getting
Tincup over to third, where he could tally the tying run on a squeeze, long fly,
difficult infield grounder, passed ball or any other little sllp-up. His place was
on first, and after the gamo was tied It was time enough to tako chances that
would win, If Buccessful,
Ben Tincup Contracts "Die Wanderlust"
The second bad break came when Tincup wandered off far enough to bo
retired and then tried to get back to third. When Tincup finally made up his
mind to leave third he should have kept right on going to the. plate, taking a
chance on the throw. Even If ho had been retired, Stock would have been able
to reach second on the throw to the plate, but thero was no chance for him to
Bet there on a throw to third. Had Stock given himself up, or if Tincup had
gone to the plato to give Stock a chance to reach second, tho score would have
been tied on Bancroft's single to right. Bancroft's hit. which followed this play,
only bears out the contention that the Phillies should havo given up ono man
to get a runner to a base where he could score on a single. It did not matter
whether It was Tincup who remained at third or if Stock had been given a
chance to get to second, ono of these things should have been done. Two wrongs
do not make a right, and while thero was some excuse for the first break, thero
was none for the second, unless It Is that Tincup Is not used to being on the
bases.
It was a heart-breaking game for the Phillies to lose and one that will not
be forgqtten In a hurry.' Manager Moran used every man on the team, excepting
Mayer, Adams and Alexander, In trying to turn tho tide, and, as a result, has no
fresh pitcher for today's double-header, barring Alexander, Moran certainly
switched his team In great shape, and It was unfortunate that the Phillies did
not get away with the victory,
A fumble by Nlehoff has been given as tho cause of tho defeat, but that mis
play would not have been felt had it not been for the tenth. inning fizzle. The
Reds deserved to -win the game, however, as they secured their first two runs
through hitting. Leach's fumble of an easy grounder in the outfield gave the
Phillies the tying run In the ninth and evened up to a certain extent for Nlehoff' a
fumble.
George Chalmers was on the mpund for the first time In ten days, and he
pitched exeellent pall. It was a typical Chalmers game. The Phillies did little
hitting, and Chalmers' excellent pitching went to waste. He had the Reds shut
out until llnrzog singled to left, wth the bases full and two put. In the eighth
inning. Thi hit gave the Reds the lead, but a pass to Nlehoff, Whltted's single
and Leach's fumble, with two out, in the ninth sent the game Into extra
innings.

"ZIMMERMAN IS A HUMAN BEING;
I TREAT HIM AS SUCH," SAYS RAJAH
Chicago Cubs Manager Tells Hoxo He Makes the Fiery Second
Sacker Behave Declares Sensible Contracts Have Vital
Effect on Hustling Work of Phillies.
"I treat Heinle Zimmerman like a hu
man being, and that Is why we have had
no trouble and why he Is playing bettor
ball than at any
time In hlB career."
This was Roger
Bresnahan's reply
to a question by the
EVENWO LEDOEn
representative when
Chicago Cubs' mana
ger was asked Just
why Zimmerman
was no longer a
troublesome Individ-
i ual.
"Heinle was fined
by mq for falling to
run out a bit In the
series here, but don't
IKXJEIt BKESNAHA-think for a minute
Manager Cub.. that this will cause
him to Bulk," con
tinued Bresnahnn. "He knows that this
fine was tacked on Just to remind him
that playing ball la a business with him
and getting results is a business with
me. Heinle has been playing to win,
and wns disappointed at the breaks wo
have been getting and this caused him
to sulk a bit.
"I told him that I did not like to take
his money or that of any other ball
player, but that It was necessary to
enforce discipline. There to no way In
the world to hurt a ball player mora
than through his pocketbook. If Zim
merman continues to display the excel
lent spirit he has to date, he knows that
the money will be returned to him.
"My honest opinion Is that Zimmerman
Is the most abused player In the game.
He has had to suffer because his nasty
temper got the best of him, but only after
he had tried hard to get along with his
managers. You never saw Zimmerman In
trouble, fined or put out of the game
every other day when Chance was his
manager, and there was a reason.
"Zimmerman has been misunderstood
too much. Ho loveH to win and naturally
Is a bit unmanageable when things are
breaking bad for the team and hlmseir,
but If his past managers had treated htm
half-way decently they would have found
htm a great help to them Instead of a
hindrance. I have always treated my
players on the square, as I am still a ball
player at heart and always will be.
"But I am going to tell you that I am
beginning to think that it does not pay
to bo too lenient with them, flo team was
ever better treated than my present ag
gregation, but they don't seem to appre
ciate it and from now out they are going
to be ruled with an Iron hand.
"The ball player of today seems to feel
too sure of his Job. There are too many
long-term contracts and too many players
who are thinking too much of outside
Interests and not enough about the game.
I have been playing ball for 21 years,
and no one can say that Roger Bresnahan
did not hustle every minute he was on
tho field, And I want to say that I have
never thought about anything else but
baseball while I was In uniform, which
Ib also more than you can say for many
players.
"I was roasted unmercifully here for
the switching of pitchers In one game,
but that does not worry me. The mana
ger who is thinking about what the
papers and bleacherltes are saying will
never make good. There were a few
things connected with that ball game that
the outsider knows nothing about.
"From a newspaperman's viewpoint I
suppose you fellows were right, but I
know that I did right. A second guess
Is always best, but when you are manag
ing a ball team you never get that second
guess. If you guess right, you are a
strategist and It you guess wrong you
ar.e a dub- I pulled '-Zabel, then pulled
Pierce and then sent Cheney In. None of
these move turned out right, but j know
I did tho proper thing.
"A manager must take advantage of

ful. I took advantage of that, and will
prove It to you. Jn the first plaee, you

haps. It looked bad, but you don't know

with Byrne n'hd was crying nboUt the
umpires. Then ho lost his nerve. I
would rather lose a ball game with a
gnme pitcher than win with a quitter, and
that Is why Zabel was taken from tho
mound.
"Tnen I played percentage. Bancroft
had been oattlng left-handed, and when
n man switches ho Is Invariably at sea

bnlls or spltters. Pierce has .both, and

There was only one guess to that. I sent
Cheney In. Ho has always found Cravath

staff, and ho apparently was In good.

Cheney's day, and It was not long before
tho game was gone.
"After the game Cheney Informed me
that ho had caught cold In his back. I
don't know whether he did or not, but
that was no time to tell me about It. I
probably would have done It all different
If I had another guess, but I still contend
I did right under the circumstances.
"So far as working pitchers too hard Is
concerned well, that Is tho biggest Joke
yet. Tho present-day pitchers don't do
enough work to keep warm. You may
notice that It Is always the fellow who
Is not working often who has the sore
arm and who Is 'overworked.' Tho good
pitchers and the men who da things year
aftor year do not have sore arms, be
causo thoy are always working. I don't
believe in too much of the warming up,
but when you got a staff that loves to
dodge work you must keep after them all
the time and make them, work.
"My ball club Is strong. It could be
strengthened In one or two places, but that
Is not why we are not about eight or ten
games In front, as we should be. Take a
look out there on the field when the
Phillies and Cubs are playing, and you
will see pne team that has long-term con
tracts and thoughts of something beside
baseball, and another that Is made up of
players who, for the most part, have sen
sible contracts nnd a hustling spirit.
T could not see the Phillies when we
first met them, but I can now. They are
hustling and trying all the time, and In
this race of ours that Is what will count
It la far from the best cub In the league,
but they are eating, sleeping and thinking
baseball ; they wont to win and won't stop
trying to win, and that spirit Is going to
be a harder one to break than most of the
people on the circuit think."

"You fix It," I says to Ike. "I'm on

"I'll do that," says Ike. "But for
Heaven's snkes hurryl"
I shinned out of tho window and over
the fence, and I hadn't any more than lit

"There ho goes I Thero he goesl''

thing a fellow can do when he hasn't
dono nothing Is to run from, the folks who
thin): he has. I didn't stop to figure It
out; It takes tlmo to do that, and when
I was once started It was too late to
stop.
The raincoat was long, nnd bothered
me some, so I shucked It and threw It
behind me. The mob tore It up- for
souvenirs, and' that was the best thing
that happened that day, because tho coat
belonged to Ike Small. I wish he'd been
inside of it.
One of those smart sporting writers in
Belllngham said about me that I was a
snail on the bases. I wish he could have
seen me fade down that street: he'd
have known better.
I'll bet there was a thousand men and
boys behind me, hooting nnd yelling and
throwing things. By the noise they
made, there might have been a million.
I never looked around to count 'em.
I ran for half a mile qb hard as I
could pelt, and then I began to get
winded, My chest was burning up, and
I was seeing black dots in front of tny
eyes; my legs weighed about a ton nplece,
and my tongue was hanging out a foot.
It was a cinch I couldn't keep going much
longer, and Just when I -was about to flop
down In the middle of the street and hoi
ler for the police I heard a whistle and
the rumble of a train. It was the Sun
down Limited, leaving town, and the
tracks cut across at right angles about a
block away. The mob heard it, too, and
cheered.
"Wo got him now!" they yells.
Well, It looked like It. They figured
I'd have to watt for the train to pass.
I knew If I could get across the tracks
before she came along I'd have a chance,
and I speeded up with all I had left, but
It wasn't no use; she beat me to It by 60
feet, and there I was, blocked by a train
of eight cars, vestlbuled solid from one
end to the other. I had to pull 'up. I
thought then that it waa all oft with the

PITCHEB'S EltnOP. OF JUDGMENT?
LbSES PENNANT FOB BELLINOHAltl
Biggs Chased Out of Town by Mofelcfl
imunaicu uiuzens.
Can you beat that? "Pltrh!-1. -?
of Judgment!" Iko Small had put th
whole thing up to me, tho low-down, un3
principled scoundrel! fi
ThArn wnn nn lntnn,lAn, ...lu t.t A
ono of the pnpors, where he said he waj
"at a loss to understand why Blgo
should havo walked tho weakest hitter Inl
tho lcaguo;" and It -wont on to say that)
the only explanation wns that tho gamb-3
lers might have got to mo before tttf
game. Ho said that my leaving town!
without my clothes wna tho best proof
that thero was something rotten In Deii
mark, because an honost man wouM i
havo'stayed. knowing that ho hndn't done
nothing to be ashamed of. Ain't that tKS
limit? It Just shows you how tho newniS
papers can twist a thing nrounfl and,!
mako Mack out of white; a man aln'tj

reporters get after him. .,"jj
I almost forgot to say that theyVqt
the grounds cleared and finished tM
game. Tho final score was Bclllnghaml:
Tltusvine, 6. I wish It had been) 601
Kellerman pitched the last Inning anl
they belted him nil over tho lot.
Well, that's what I got against
Small, nnd If I over meet him face to fS
no ueucr cunui a tree anu null u up
the roots after him.
Ho had the gall to send mo a bSn
contract along In March, with a nofi
where ho says that tho fans have cooled
out quite considerable by now, andjtj
wuuiu ua outu ii iiiu iu i:uiuu utvtA-
for seventy-five a month. Shucks! I can
make moro than that driving mules. I
wrote him pretty much what I thought.
nnd ho answered nnd said Fd pitch for
Bolllngham or he'd havo me blacklisted.
Ban Johnson and the rest ol them na
tional commissioners are backing htm up.
They say I can't play with any league
club but Iko Small's. I wish 'em all well,
and I hope thoy hang by the neck until
I do; but they're cheating McGraw ana
tho rest of them Eastern managers out of
a star pitcher, I'll tell you that!
