PHILS INCREASE LEAD EVEN ON ROAD "THE MEXICAN MARVEL," BY C. E. VAN LOAj
PHILLIES, WITH EVEN BREAK ON ROAD,
GAINING ON BRAVES AND BROOKLYN
Moran's Club, Going at .500 Clip, Holds Lead With Little Prospect
of Being Dowiied--Road Record Now Should Be Seven
Won and One Lost Pitching Standard Maintained,
.
The Phillies arc still out in front, despite the predictions that the team
would blow up long boforo the Jot ot August, and, had It npt been for some
erratic and careless fielding In the last week. Moran's team would now be en
joying a lead of six and ft half games. Three garnM have been lost In the
West which should have resulted In easy victories, to say nothing of the game
Demarce lost In the ninth Inning after pitching eight scoreless rounds.
The pitching staff continues to show wonderful form, and so long as It
keeps going at Its present rate of speed there Is little chance of any of the
contenders busting them from the lend. Tho most displeasing part of the
wtik'a work were the two defeats of Alexander the Great, neither of which was
deserved. Tho big Nebraskan Is stilt pitching wonderful ball, despite the two
setbacks, and. Instead of showing signs of cracking, Alexander appears to bo
priming himself for a stirring finish.
As pointed out In these columns Inst week, Brooklyn's Inability to win
games on the road probably will eliminate) that team from the race before It
returns home, provided the Phillies can get nn even break or better In tho
West. Moran's team has Won four and lost four games on the road to date,
which Is good enough, although tho record should read seven victories and one
defeat. Tho Dodgers have proved easy for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and aro
likely to find the going rough In Chicago and St! Louis, as both of these teams
have taken a new Icaso of llfo since returning home.
Boston Braves Must Show Better Ball or Fall By the 'Wayside
Boston's defeats at tho hands of Cincinnati were a great surprise to fandom,
and the Braves are likely to have their hands full In Pittsburgh this week.
Boston must do considerably better than an oven break on this trip If they
hope to bo In position to battle tho Phillies for first placo when they return
home. There Is still a good chanco for tho Braves to have a successful trip,
but better ball must bo played than tho Braves- showed In Cincinnati or tho
team will lose ground Instead of gaining.
Phillies Have Cracked, According to Cincinnati Scribe
A Cincinnati seer, W. A. Pholon, Issues forth with tho declaration that tho
Phillies aro "all In and down and out," that they havo cracked and aro vir
tually out of the running. Chirps Mr. Phclon:
"May be so and may be not; but to a man up a tree It looks as If the Phila
delphia Nationals had shot their bolt and that it would bo a matter of only a
g few mora days beforo they aro dragged down. Their defense seems to havo
finally cracked under the severe strain to which It has been subjected, and tho
men aro stumbling badly in pursuit of tho fugacious fly or the grouchy
groUnder. All season tho club, though doing wonders In the way of net results,
ha? batted very weakly In comparison with its nominal hitting strength, and
It has held Its position through good fielding and the grand pitching of Alex
ander. That sort of work seldom endures through a whole season. Sooner or
later tho! one dependable pitcher, when there Is nobody to alternate! with him
in winning big loads of games, goes to pieces; sooner or later the defense, If
.no batting is done to help It out, staggers and falls'. The last game of tho
Philadelphia series here was lost through bad errors in the final round. Their
first game at St. Louis saw both the defeat of Alexander and a miserable ex
hibition of fielding six errors."
Mr. Phclon's Fame as a Prophet The Record
This Is tho best boost tho Phillies have received from an out-of-town scribe
this season, becauso Phelon has becomo famous as a prophet1 In the reverse.
If memory serves correctly,! Phelon picked tho Cubs to beat the Mackmen; the
Giants to trim tho Macks in 1911 and 1013; tho Giants to beat the Red Sox;
tho Athletics to win from tho Braves, and while tho Braves were running
neck and neck with the Giants and Cardinals, he picked them to blow up.
Just as ho predicts tho downfall of the Phillies. To make tho pennant certain
for the Phillies, all needed now is for Hughey Fullerton to pick Moran's .team
to explode.
Great Three-cornered Race in American League
While tho National League race has aroused the local fans, the American
League Is staging a great three-cornered battle also. The Red Sox have nn
Immense advantage over Detroit and Chicago, as Carrlgan's team will play the
tall-endera of Cleveland and St. Louis 10 games in eight days after the Tigers
finish up their series In Boston on Tuesday. Boston's pitching staff has rounded
into form and where, early In the year, nono of the hurlcrs but Foster was
In shape, now the Red Sox havo eight pitchers going so well that Carrlgan Is
having his troubles finding enough work to keep each one on edge.

Pitcher Allows But Five Hits in Eighteen Innings
Davo Davenport's marvelous work for the St. Louis Federals on Saturday
Jjos never been approached In major league circles. Davenport pitched both
game3 of. a double-header against Buffalo and allowed but five hits and one
run in 18 Innings. This ono run gave Buffalo a victory in the second game
and spoiled a perfect day for the lanky Texan.
The remarkable part of Davenport's work was that he allowed tho Buffeds
only one hit In the second game, but lost 1 to 0. This hit was made In the
eighth Inning nnd. was a scratch doublo on an easy fly that fell between
Miller and Tobln. After pitching nine sensational innings in the first game.
Davenport permitted but 29 batsmen to face him In tho second game. Chase,
who got the only hit and run, and two men who walked were the only players
to reach first. One' of theso was thrown out stealing.
When one considers that it wob so hot in St. Louis that Byrne, of the
Phillies, had to retire from tho Phllly-Cardlnal game because of the heat,
Davenport's feat becomes the more remarkable.
When the Catcher Should Throw to Second on Double Steal
Two Lansford (Pa.) baseball fans are engaged In a lively argument regarding
the Evenino Ledger's analysis of throws to second and to third when the double
steal Is attempted. One argues that tho statement that catcher would do well to
throw to second In many instances Is incorrect. He contends that the man on
first has a chance to get in a Juggle and allow the runner who is stealing third to
round third and score while the player on first Is being run down. The Evenino
XiEDOEn Is asked to cite an Instance proving that Its contention was right.
The best instance was the manner In which the Phillies lost to the Reds last
Friday because Milton Stock was caught In a Juggle between first and second,
With Tincup on thjrd. As soon as Tincup wandered ofT third he was caught and
a rally stopped, while Stock was back on first. Of course Stock and Tlncun are
not Cobbs or Collinses, but In 99 cases out of 100 a player caught in a Juggle Is
retired under such conditions without the runner scoring. When the throw Is
made to second on such a play, the base runner is not expecting it and is there
fore too near second to prevent being tagged.
Kllng Caught Ty Cobb in World's Series of 1908
In the world's series between the Cubs and Detroit in 1908 Johnny Kllng
broke up a promising rally with this play by throwing Cobb out at second by
15 feet, because he realized that there was no chanco to cutoh Davey Jones at
third and that the,, best thine to do was to retire one of the runners, not being
particular whether the play was made at second or third.
If tho play could be worked so successfully against the peerless Cobb, It can
be worked against any baso runner, and It is the proper play, if the pitcher is
careful to Keep the runner close to first. Of course this play la. of value only If
one or two are out. Otherwise the man stealing third would be In position to
score on any kind of an out. With one man out and the runner going to second
picked off. as he can be nine times out of ten. two men are out, and It still requires
a hit to score him.
Logan A. A. has signed almost an entire new team, and in Its first game
with the changed line-up won from Fenn City, 10 to 6. Rodenbaugh and
rLandls. formerly of the Atlantlo Refining team, are. now with Logan.

MENTAL HAZARDS IN GOLF
ALL A FAKE; "IT AIN'T SHOULD"
First -Hole at Country Club and Eighth at Bala Bugaboos to the
Timid Sir Noble Changes His Mind at Lu Lu Tourney.
Von Hindenburg Has Broken .Up Golf in Germany.
A mental hazard Is all a fake. It's only
a hazard because ono thinks It la. And In
thinking of all the things that might hap
pen the golfer Is prone to wiggle his bean
out of gear with his brawn and bone, thus
causing the shot to falter and most likely
do exactly the opposite ot what the player
devoutely wished It would do.
Why In tho world a simple thing like
standing on tho brink of a 60-foot cliff
and making a 70-yard drive across a val
ley filled with boulders and trees, as Is the
case on, the first hole at the Country Club,
should cause alarm la beyond reaaon, yet
golfers as a rule (simply have to give the
setting the up-and-down and then they
freeze Just because failure to make the
shot will cost them a stroke.
And then there's the eighth hole at the
Bala Qolf Club. Lapping lazily at the
edge of the tee Is a beautiful lake, right
at the driver's toes. He knows that the
lake has been put there on purpose to
bother him and yet he allows himself In
variably to be bothered. It Is only a carry
of 110 yards to the other aide. There's
a boy who sits singing and whistling all
the day In a boat waiting to fish out any
balls that are topped Into the lake. Yet,
aware of the boy and of the easy shot
serosa, golfers as a rule are petrified at
ims noie.
Why Bhould this thing beT As Euclid
was prone to remark. "It ain't should."
At the Lu Lu tournament the other
day one of the Nobles refused to take a
big handicap.
- "I'm good," he admitted, "I can do tho
nine holes In H easy." When he stood
up to bat at the first tee, he lashed
wickedly at the pill, but missed It cold.
After untangling his legs and club, etc.,
he swung again. He Just noaed the thing
and It took a gentle rise to the right
about 10 feet away.
Mr. Noble, haatlly ran to retrieve It.
"Yen, hey, whoa!" roared the. gallery.
"If you pick up your ball It costs you
four strokes."
'(Josh ding It," moaned the Noble, much
annoyed. "This lan't like playin' In fun,
Is ItT We always take a bum drive over."
Golf was Introduced Into Deutscbland
leas than leven years ago, but, on ac
count of the war, it has now "died dead."
The Teutons took their tools, trained
to the tees and thistle, to the trenches.
Von Hindenburg, who never could get on
to the game, ordered a raid on all the
golf olubs. Everything was snatched.
The Iron clubheads, so sayi a diapatch,
made lovely shrapnel, as did the brass
cups and steel lockers. The golf balls
were unwound and melted Into rubber
imngs to Keep out the wet.
The little flags at the holes were nifty
for tho Uhlans, Qclf bags have bn
sewed into canvas tents for the oftloera).
th sand In, the bunkers Is used for bal
last nn the Zeus; the 'leather grips on
club shafts were sewed into shoe and
the felt underneath makes blankets. The
secret of the nature of the poison gas
that knoflk 'em dead has come out In
the disclosure of the collection by the
Germans pf (ha haze that hovers over
golf links. It is caused by sulphurous
language, and the beautiful Oerman eusa
words make It particularly heavy in
this case.
About tne only thing on the links tho
Germans haven't been able to find use
ror Is par," and the dispatch says that
as aoon as Paris Is taken the Imperial
Empire will settle down to find a use
for thla, too.
Tho old falling of weak putting played
havoc with the game of "Chick" EVans.
at Mayfleld. lately, and the best he could
do was win the Western championship
for the fourth time. Oh, yes. aso he
set up a new record for the difficult
courae there. But he got only a 71.

politeness, "are you a-goln' to listen to
me or not? Who was it that went out
In the bushes and got 'Splint' MacLean?
Who was It went down into the Jungles
and came back with 'Bonefaco' Hnrmon?
Hey?"
"You did It," said Kelly solemnly.
"I've always said you could fall In a
sewer, and come out with a ball player
In each hand,"
Bostwlck sniffed scornfully this
veiled reference to luck.
"Did I suggest your getting this coon
on tho club as a coon?" demanded Bost
wlck. "Of course notl You make mo
tired. When It comes to Jumpln' ot con
clusions, you're the greatest lepper that
ever come out of Ireland. Listen -now
till I tell you. It was out in Lima, Ohio,
that I saw this blrd-hls name's Buckner,
and they call him Bud for short and
he was with a coon team that was tour
ing around the country ln a private car,
meeting alt comers. The minute I saw
this Buckner In action, It hit mo that
there was class sticking out all over him
good enough, Just as ho Is, to play on
any club ln the country. Dick. I give
you my word he covers that Infield like
a carpet, and when it comes to getting,
the ball on a runner, he's all "
"You said alt that before, Joey," said
Kelly. "What's tho use In going all over
the ground again? He's a coon, nnd that
lets him tmt." Kelly snapped his fingers
as If dismissing the subject Into thin air.
Joey Bostwlck fairly wriggled with Im
patience, Indignation and other unholy
emotions.
"Can't you wait?" ho cried. "I'm no
fool! I know you can't get n coon on
a club In this or any other league, but
you tell mo now, la there any law agalmt
your playing a Mexican?"
"A what?" demanded Dick Kelly, sur
prised In spite of himself.
"A Mexican," answered the old man.
"I'll spell it for you if you want me
to. I guess there ain't anybody In this
league would raise any objections to play
ing baseball with a high-class Moxlcan,
If he was well advertised as such, eh?"
Kelly lowered the front legs of his chair
to the floor, and flipped away his cigar
end.
"Joe," ho asked, "what are you get
ting at. anyway?"
"Just this," aald Bostwlck: "We could
pass this fellow Buckner off as a Mexi
can as easy as rollln' off a log."
"Go "way!" said the manager. "Why,
a Mexican's hair Is straight, and "
"Aro you going to let mo finish or not?"
howled Bostwlck. "That's you all over,
Dick, setting In your stack before the
cards aro dealt! Now, keep -your shirt
on and listen to me a minute. I went
down to that private car, and I had a
talk with this Buckner. If he'd been mado
to order for the part, ho wouldn't fit In
any better. In the first place, he ain't
so black as he might be sort of a nice
smooth coffee color. In the second place,
his hair is nearly as straight as yours
what you've got left. Only tho least bit
ot a wave tp it. He's a right handsome
looking fellow. Once In a while you see
'em like that. First I was thinking we
could spring him ns a Cuban "
"Nix!" said Kelly Bhortly. "That's old
stuff. That Cuban thing has been worked
to death by people who never saw the
Island not even on a map. Why, all
you've got to do Is to say 'Cuban,' and
you'll make people suspicious. Nix on
the Pearl of the Antilles."
"Just the way I had It figured out!"
said Bostwlck. "Now, this Mexican gag
Is a thousand per cent stronger. In the
first place, it's never been done that I
know of. In the second place, how many
of these Easterners have ever seen a
Mexican to know him? Not one ln a
million! Mexicans are mostly too poor
to travel, and those that can afford it
always chuck a blUff that they're Span-,
lards. Yes. Buckner will have to be a
Mexican, or a cross between a Mexican
and an Indian, and all he'll have to do
is to change his name. That's dead easy,
Don Juan Garcia, or Haysoose Maria
Martinez, or any old thing. Easy? Well,
I should say"
"I'm afraid," said Kelly, and there was
In his tone a hint of uncertainty, as
If, In spite of himself, he had been weigh
ing the matter In his mind. "I'm afraid
It's no use, Joey. I couldn't bo done.
If we play this fellow for a Mexican,
every Mexican In thla part of the country
would make It his business to look up
Buckner and have a chat with him, and
If the coon couldn't come through with
the language" "'
Old man Bostwlck brought his fist down
