BRILLIANT WORK OF CLEVELAND
WINS MANAGER'S BERTH FOR FOUL
Lowly Indians Have Won Eight of Last Zen Games Played;
Somen to Make Fohl Permanent Leader Erskine Mayer's
Great Pitching Restores Confidence of Phils.
Tho brilliant work of the Cleveland team In the last three weeks has
clinched tho managerial position for Leo Fohl. When the Indians arrived In
this city last night, Fohl was tho happiest man In tho State, as ho had received
Word from President Somors that there would bo no other manager appointed
to lead tho lowly Indians this season and tho Cleveland owner intimated thnt
ho probably would glvo Fohl a. contract for next Benson when tho team returns
home.
After being appointed tomporary manager to succeed Joe Birmingham, Fohl
Immediately began to experiment with youngsters and has obtained excellent
results. Eight out of tho last 10 games have resulted In victories, a most
unusual streak for a Cleveland team, and Fohl has developed two flno young
twlrlers In Jones and Walker, who aro now being worked In their regular turn.
Cloveland fans declare that tho team has played better baseball In tho last
month than It has shown Blnco early In tho 1913 season, when Birmingham
got off to a flying start, mainly through the slowness of tho Athlotlcs and lied
Box In rounding Into form.
Brooklyn Gets Set Back, But Up Come the Braves
Tho Phillies gained ground on tho Dodgers by trimming St. Louis, while
Pittsburgh wns beating Brooklyn. Tho Dodgers opened up their road trip
in tho customary manner. Tho defeat was particularly disastrous for tho
Dodgojs, as tho Pirates batted Pfeffcr all over tho fleld and broke his winning
streak.
Pfeffor has been pitching grand ball of late, showing a return to his 1014
form, and Brooklyn fans thought ho was duo for a long winning streak. Tho
work of tho Dodgers' pitching staff In tho last week has shown that tho
hurlcrs aro not In tho form they wero a fow weeks ago. Good pitching
Is a necessity to tho Dodgers on tho present trip. Without It, thoy aro likely
to drop complotcly out of tho raco beforo they return homo.
While tho Dodgers' dofcat was good nows for local fans, tho doublo victory
of tho Braves over Cincinnati was decidedly bad news, Tho Braves camo
from behind In tho second gamo and looked very much llko tho team that
mado tho Athlotlcs look llko bushcrs In tho world's series last fall.
Just for a Chanco to Curb Those Bravest
It Is unfortunate that tho Phillies havo not a series with tho Braves at
this tlmo, aa a fow dofoats would do much townrd breaking tho confldenco
that Is now carrying tho Braves toward success. Judging by tho form shown
by tho Western teams in tho East, tho Braves will havo a groat trip and bo
even moro confident of success when thoy return home. Goorgo Stalllngs
now doclaros that tho Braves will surely repeat, and, as tho "mlraclo man"
Is not given to idlo boasting, it behooves tho Phils to go at top speed for tho
rest of the season.
Ersklno Mayer pitched a brilliant gamo for tho Phllllos yostorday, and It
la hoped that ho Is back in form for tho rost of tho season. Had Mayor
held up his and on tho long homo stand of Moran's team, tho Phillies would
now bo so for out in front that it would bo a long time boforo tho Braves
would bo within hailing distance of flrat place. Grlnor, who opposed Mayor,
pitched his usual effectivo game, but also rocolvod tho usual fcoblo asslstanco
from his team-mates.
Koob Looks Liko Best Young Pitcher Seen Hero
Branch IUckey has a great young twlrler in Koob. Tho young southpaw
may get his bumps now and then for tho rest of tho soason, as ho Is still a
trlflo green, but ho certainly looks hotter than any youngster soon hero in a
long time. Koob looks even better than Al Mamaux did last season. He Is
not tho finished twlrler Mamaux is at present, but If ho Is handled proporly
tho American League Is going to bo tho owner of tho beat youngstor in tho
land next season in Koob.
Rickey boasted that Koob was better than any southpaw ho had seen in
years and for once ho was right It la no great feat to trim tho Athletics theso
days, but tho manner In which Koob did It was most lmpres3lvo. Tho Westorn
schoolboy has not his full Btrength yet, but has a fast ball that Is a wonder
and a drop curvo that breaks as sharp as that of "Dutch" Leonard. Probably
tho greatest asset Koob has is control. For a southpaw it is unusual. It Is
a safo bet that Koob has not confined hla pitching to tho Western Normal
School, becauao they don't teach youngsters to work tho corners as Koob doc3
in schools or colleges.
Again Athletics Pitching Falls Down
The Maclcmen wero completely at tho mercy of this young star and nover
had a chance to win. The only player who .found Koob with any degree of
success was Jack Lapp. This was unexpected, as Lapp does not usually hit
ii southpaw. Yesterday, however, Lapp had threo of tho Ova hits mado by tho
Mackmen, his doublo being tho only real hard safety made off Koob.
While Koob was holding tho Mackmen safe, Rubo Bressler was pitching
himself into many holes and, after being forced to "groove" tho ball, tho
Browns batted him hard. St. Louis made but seven hits oft Mack's southpaw,
but they wasted only one and earned four of tho flvo runs. In other depart
ments tho Browns also outplayed the Mackmen.
Hcalcy Contributes Both Brilliant and Sorry Plays
The fielding feature from an Athletic standpoint was Heoley's splendid
play on Koob's bunt in the fourth inning. Tho youngster waaln llko a flash
and headed off Lavan at second with a lightning throw to Kopf, who relayed
tho ball to Lajoia In tlmo to double Koob. Tho latter is not fast, but any tlmo
a doublo play is mado on an apparently perfect sacrlflco, an inflelder is
making a rare play. Healey made ono bad error of Judgment, which resulted
later In r. wild throw. He failed to run
already reached that bag. Instead, ho threw tho boll and it struck Shotten
on tho head and bounded into right field, allowing Shotten to take third and
Slsler second. Pratt followed with a hit, and two runs scored on this drivo
Instead of one. Healey, however, looked good at bat again. Ho had ono
clean hit, -was hit by pitched ball once, went out on a line fly to Pratt and
sent a long fly to Shotten In hla four trips to the plate.
Golf Has a Tenacious Grip on Its Devotees
As to tho decree in which tho game of golf aways the minds of many of tho
best citizens, it la only necessary to point to tho night play of the swingers at
Van Courtland Park, N. T. So eager aro many to got in their bit on tho green
that such a little thing as arising at 3 a. m. is a mere bagatelle.
Long before sunup devotees may bo seen going over the course.. By tho
tlma Old Sol peeks over the city matches are nearly ended. It is but another
example of extremes. To turn out as tho sailors say at 3 a. m. Is a pleosuro
for only tho enthusiast.
There -were two unusual features to the Pittsburgh-Brooklyn gamo yester
day. The veteran Hans "Wagner mado a homo run with tho bases full in the
eighth inning, whllo Bill Hlnchman mado an unassisted double play from right
field. He caught a low liner and continued to second beforo the runner could
return. Double plays by centre fielders are not so uncommon, but it Is seldom
that a right fielder makes one.
Joe Byrne, third baseman of tho Chester team of the Delaware County
league. Is the latest addition to Connie Mack's morning school. Byrne Is a
former Canadian League star who was declared a free agent last winter. He
had several minor leagua offers but decided to cast his lot with the Delaware
County League.

IT HAPPENS IN THE BEST
SWEENEY TO SANGUINETTI TO SCHULTZ
The
Triple Alliance Plays Dead for a Little
Fate and a Press Agent Invite Thejn
to a Show.
By CHARLES
The 'World's Moat Faraoui
Sweeney, Sanguine ttl and Schultz, star
Inllcld ot the Aludbens, are inseparable
companions In mischief. The comblno bo
glns when tho first two get Into an argu
mont over a close decision In a St. Louis
dhi. A fight ensues.
It was a. lively Httlo party while It
lasted. Sweeney did tho best that was
in him, landing his leathery fists with
tremondoUs execution, and Sangulnettl
began to pump rights and lefta Into every
strango faco In sight Sangulnettl did
not last long. Tho dish-faced person on
tho floor, recovering consciousness, Iden
tified Sangulnottl's legs, and attached
himself to them with such fervor that
tho socond baseman pitched headfirst to
the? sawdust. That mado it bad very bad
I
and It might havo been worse but for
the fact that tho attacking party was
suddenly split Into two sections by a
gigantic young man, who bellowed llko
a bull.
"Glf It to 'urn, Swecnoyl" ho yelled.
"Knock 'urn owltl"
It was Schultz to the rescue, and Just
In tho nick of time. Ho planted a ter
rific kick In the midsection of the dish
faced person, who was trying to get his
thumb Into Sangulnottl's eye, and as
tho socond baseman jumped to his feet,
Schultz knocked ono of the hoodlumi
headfirst across tho freo-lunch table, and
with another powerful blow dropped a
second ono kicking and clucking to thj
floor.
There wasn't very much to tho battle
after that. Threo of tho seven were able
to run, and they ran, taking one of the
swinging- doors with them. The other?
wero oif the floor. Two of them could
crawl, and they crawled for the side
walk. The bulls!" panted Sweeney. "Let's
boat ltl"
"Hey!" shouted the bartender. "Ain't
you going to pay for these drinks?"
Cven as that question hung quivering
in the air, the ball players vanished
through a sldo door. When the "bulls"
Anally arrived on the scene of battle, they
found nothing but ono very sick young
man on the floor. He said he did not
know what had happened to him. but In
clined to tho belief that some ono must
have murdered him when his head was
turned. Later the ambulance surgeun
located three broken ribs one for
Sweeney, one for Sangulnettl, and one
for Schultz. Of course the bartender
didn't know a thing about It, not a thing.
Nover saw any of 'em before hoped he
would never see any of 'em again.
That was the way Schultz fought him
self Into the alliance. Is It any wonder
that Sweeney and Sangulnettl received
him with open arms?
Johnny Moore stood for a great many
queer things In the course of three sea
sons, for their wasn't a better Infield In
the whole country, but at last his few re
maining grnlns of patience were ex
hausted, The International Triplets were
getting upon his nerves.
"Now, listen here I" he said. "I'm go
Ing to announce myself. It's, all yety
well for you to be three little' pals to
gether, and take a drink once In a
while, but this business of raising hell
from April till October has got to stop.
You hear me? It's got to stop! Thit
last Jam you got In down to Coney Island
was the extreme tip of the limit. Tho
next time I hear of you birds going on
a bat the very next time, mind you
down comes the ax! And it won't be a
fine or a suspension, cither. You can
paste that In your little brown hats.
I'll bust up, this combination, that's wht
I'll do, and I'll bust It three ways from
tho liver! You ain't going to make me
the goat any more, and have everybody
Baying that I run a rowdy ball club.
You start anything now. and I'll net you
plum' outBlde!"
"The chief la peeved," said Bangui,
nettl to Sweeney. "Who do you sup.
pose put him next to that little fun-In
down at Coney?"
' "Aw, some trouble detective," aald
Sweeney wearily. "I thought we had
those fellows squared. Say, Nettle, the
qld man means business this time. Let's
cut out the rough stuff for a while.
We'll be getting ourselves disliked If we
don't. Me for the water wagon."
'You said It for me, Larry,1' announced
Sangulnettl. "Water wagon she is."
Schultx would not climb on with his
friends. He said there was no sense n

While BUt

It, ns ho drank nothing but beer, any
way, and very llttlo of that. But he
warmly applauded tho Idea of his friends
making a trial trip. Schultz was black
and blue from tho neck to tho heels' as
a result of the last mess of troublo which
Swecnoy had found for him, and ho wel
comed signs of reform. Schultz was not
quarrelsome by nature; ho was alwas
saddest When down on tho floor with
three or four perfect strangers. TJioro
never was a German who did not agroo
with Uncle Billy Sherman about tho war
business.
So tho International Alliance devoted
Itself assiduously to auction pinochle and
"race-horso pitch," went early to bed, and
drank nothing but water, Schultz having
been persuaded against his better Judg
ment. Johnny Moore could hardly bellovo
his senses.
Fate decreed that the blow which was
to fall upon tho alliance should fall lu
St Louis, the place of Its origin. It came
about through Sangulnottl's fatal fond
ness for the theatre. Tho second base
man was passionately devoted to the
sock, tho buskin and the pink fleshings.
Anything, so long as It was a "show"
of somo sort. As for Sweeney, he de
manded girls and music,, but principally
girls. Musical comedy was his pet at
traction. Schultz had no love for the
drama in any form, and musical comedies
mado him very tired, but he had fonncd
The ball players Donlsnett through a aide
door.
the habit of traveling with the others,
so he took his medicine uncomplainingly,
like the good fellow he was.
Whon the Mudhens arrived In St. Louts
upon the trip selected by destiny, San
gulnettl, scanning tho morning papers,
announced that a new musical comedy
was being produced nt a house where his
"face was good."
"We'll go around and lpok 'em over,"
said Sangulnettl.
"You and me both," said Sweeney.
Schultz groaned, but said nothing.
That evening Sangulnettl presented him
self at the ticket window qnd shook hands
with the treasurer of the house.
"H'are you, boy?" said the treasurer.
"Want to see the show?" '
"Sure."
"Well, the best I can do for you Js an
upper stage box. It's theone we set
apart for members of the profession. It
Isn't likely I'll have to put any one In
there with you. You're actors, all right,
at that bad actors."
"No," said Sweeney. "We've reformed,
Didn't you hear about usT It'll be five
week tomorrow since we got on the
cart." w '
"Good news, gy Mrs. Hughesl" re
marked the treasurer.
He' scribbled a fpw hieroglyphics upon
Jhe baek. of an envelope and passed three
coupons through the window, and Swee
ney, ganirulnettl and Schultz, led by the
Anger of fate, disappeared through the
lobby. If their seats had been anywhere
else in the house, anywhere but In that
upper-stage box-but, as w eata before,
P !
DO IT WHEN THEY ARE
no post mortems. Lfo Is mado up of the
trivial things, tho petty decisions, tho
trifling details which make or mar tho
future. And wo nover know until after
ward, and then It Is too late.
Having guided tho three ball players to
their scatv, tho machinery of destiny bo
gan to revolve rapidly.
Whllo tho first act was In progress
Schultz, half asleep In the back of tho
box, was amazed to see a young lady
enter, look about her disdainfully, sniff
a few times and take a seat as far away
from him us possible She was all ot 5
years old.
"Hoy! Look who's here!" said Schultz.
Swooney and Sangulnettl wero surprised,
too. Sangulnettl thought the young lady
might bo lost. ''He asked her about It
She regarded him with scorn."
"Lost?" said tho little lady. "Well, I
sh'd say not! I sing with my mamma In
tho third net It's tho hit of tho plecol"
"Oh!" said Sweeney. "Is mamma an
actroBs?"
"She's the principal boy"with this
show," announced tho llttlo stranger,
"Walt till you see her. She's got all tho
rest of theso troupers beat to death!"
"I'm going to duck," nnnounced Schultz
suddenly. "Sho rings up hler In dls box.
unt vo git a bawl-owlt!"
"Stick around!"1 said Sweeney. "It won't
come off until tho last act"
Schultz collapsed, mumbling, and tho
young lady smoothed her fluffy skirts and
sniffed contemptuously.
Destiny, In order to play out the hand,
wns using the press agent of tho house.
A press agent Is a young man whose
business It Is to got the name ot his
show Into print as often ns possible, no
matter what tho city editors think about
him.
This nress agent, whose nnmn was Tfnr-
'loy Q. Wulker, was a live wire. He was
tho llvcst wire In St Louis. He kept In
touch with the doings of his professional
brethren In tho East, and when a new
preBs-igent stunt appeared on Broadway
Harley Q. annexed It for St. Louis. Con
sequently, when a baby elephant walked
down the aisle of a New York theatre
and handed a bouquet over the footlights
to the leading lady "Walker knew about
It. Great Idea! Bully stuff! But baby
elephants are scarce, and none was to
be found In St Louis. What to do now?
Harley J. slapped nls broad, high fore
head and reflected deeply Aha! There
was a troupe of performing baboons ap
pearing at a summer garden In tho city.
Mr. Walker was saved.
It took some time to make the arrange
ments. The man who trained the baboons
demanded money. It was pointed out to
him that he would secure a great deal of
advertising, which was better than money.
After somo talk he capitulated. Then the
baboon had to be trained to march down
the- aisle carrying bouquets. There weie
eight of them, and they were particularly
homely brutes, bufr, like most unhand
some people, they were sagacious.
They took to the (rauquet-carrylng act
like 42d street Johnnies. Excellent! Mr.
Harley Q. Walker was pleased with him
self, the management was pleased with
him and the newspaper men would tin on
hand to watch the parade of the flower
ing baboons. Mr. Walker calculated that
It should be worth a column and pictures
to every paper In town.
