aro the happiest pair of golfers In the
city. Thoy are always laughtpg and Jok

game. Both get the limit when It comas
to handicaps, foor shots never annoy
them. They always let everybody go
through and take their merry time.
The only time tho pair were really se
rious Is when they were battling for the
"Inconaolables cup" at Frankford last
week.
Thompson finally won It with a heart
breaking 8 to a 0 on the 18th hole. But
both are as cheerful as over.

BATTLING EVERS IN
FORM ONCE MORE
Boston Captain - Meets Fred
Clarke in Fast Bout No
Knockout Scored.
PITTBDUROH. Pa.. Aug. 4. There was
one feature of yesterday's double-header
between Pittsburgh and Boston that was
not on the program, and came so sud
denly that the 6000 fans present hardly
knew what the trouble was until there
was a mixture ot arms and legs on the
steps leading to the basement of the
grandstand.
Johnny Bvers and Fred Clarke had a
set-to, and both landrfd a few well-directed
blows. The .trouble started when
Evers became Incensed at Einslle over a
decision declaring Collins aafa at first.
Bvers was ordered out of the game and
started tor the water cooler at the Pitts
burgh bench to get a. drink before leav
ing for tho clubhouse. Clarke yelled at
Umpire Qulgley to hurry Evers along,
and the latter playfully threw tame
water on Clarke. The latter resented
this and aimed a blow at levers. At once
they went at It hammer and tongs.

STORM DISABLES RESOLUTE
New York Yachts Havo Rough Sailing

NEWPOnT. P.. r., Aug 4. Boisterous
weather virtually disintegrated tle rac
ing contingent of the New York Yacht
Club cruising squadron yesterday. Start
ing for Newport from New London In the
forenoon, oft Fisher's Island, tho yachta
bumped Into n. cross sea and a 25-knot
east wind, which at once put several
yachts out ot commission through breaks
and strains of various sorts, and drove
other craft to seek the shelter of a
harbor.
Chief ot the disabled vessels was the
Resolute, one of the America's cup can
didates, which met with an accident to
her top hamper and was towea to port.
The nesoluto's rival, the Vanltlo, carry

ALIEN RANKS
PHUS IN DOUBLE BILL
WITH CUBS; ALEXANDER
AND RKEY WILL HURL
Twin Victory Today Would
Be Biggest Boost Yet for
Moran Defeat Would
Threaten Eeal Toboggan
Slide.
CHICAGO, August 4. Pat Moran's
Phillies face their hardest day of the
present season this afternoon when they
grapple with the Cubs In a double-header.
After the two straight defeats suffered at
the hands of the Cubs, a double defeat
today would do much toward destroying
tho confidence that has been largely re
sponsible for the lead enjoyed by tho
Phils up to the present time.
An even break today Is ns good as
Mornn can hope for, apd that will give
Chicago threo out of four for the series.
A double win for tho Phllllea would be
the greatest event of the year for tha
Phils, and If they can pull out two vic
tories they nre almost certain to come
'home In first place. If they can do this
tho pennant chances wU be brighter
than ever.
drover Cleveland Alexander, who haa
lost two games In a row despite the tact
that he turned In four and Ave hit games,
will go back at Bresnahnn's team this
afternoon, according to Manager Moran's
present plans, and It Is likely that the
Phllly leader will stnrt working Alexan
der out of turn until the Phillies shake
the Braves and Dodgers off.
Eppa Blxey or Al Demaree -will be on
the mound In the other game, wh.Ho
Bresnahan will depend on Bert Humph
ries and Jimmy Lavender unless he de
cides to send Larry Cheney back to re
pest. Cheney has proved a troublesome
man for the Phils to date.
WAR ON FOOT FAULT
IS PLAYERS' SLOGAN
Tennis Experts of America Will
Again Endeavor to Weed Out
This Evil.
Tha question of foot faults becomos
very Interesting to the followers of ten
nis nt this time when the players are
on tho threshold of the season. Foot
faults should be considered most seri
ously with a view to amending the ways
of the average tournament player. This
has been a subject of much comment for
the last 20 years and u fruitful eourct.
of dlscusalon, Despite efforts, official
nnd unofficial, there wero as many foot
faults committed last seaspn as aver.
Good resolutions have been made again
this winter, and the secretary of the U.
S. N. L- T. A. announces that "Every
effort to bring about tha careful observ
ance of this rule during the coming
playing season wilt be used by the l"x
ecutlve Committee, which will welcome
the co-operation of all club officers In
connection with tournaments held under
tha sanction ot the national body. If
every club holding an authorized tourna
ment will make a special effort to secure
for Its tournament a Foot Fault Commit
tee, and will have BUch committee care
fully study and post Itself as to just
what constitute a foot fault and then
rigidly enforca such rule, material good
will be accomplished In connection wth
the legitimate interests of the game,
"The Executive Committee especially re
quests that all clubs giving tournaments
with tha sanction of the U a N L. T. A.
Include In their printed notices direct In
formation that the foot fault rules must
be observed, and copy suah ru)es Yr
batlm as part ot their tournament an
nouncement." But' no matter how strongly this rec
ommendation be put. nor how closely the
rlubs follow the suggestion and desig
nate umpires to watch the feet of the
serving players. It will ba dlffleult to
weed out this worst of all evils frm
which the game surfers without the sin

HERE FOR ARGUMENT
WITH MACKIAN BUNCH
Sheehan, Who Beat Detroit
in His First Majpr
League Start, Will Pitch
for Athletics Dubuc or
Steen Due.
Tom Sheehan will pitch for tho Ath
letlca against Detroit this afternoon, ac
cording to Manager Mack's present plans.
In hla flrat major leaguo game, Sheehan
twirled against Detroit, and after a mrcat
exhibition of pinch nork, tho youngster
won a l-to-l victory. Sheehan rotlred
Cobb, Crawford ntid Veach with Vltt on
second In the ninth Inning of this game,
and earned much pralBe from Detroit
scribes,
In his only local appearance Sheehan
turned In a victory over St. Louis, nnd In
this game the Peoria recruit also showed
that he had an unusual amount of grit
Up was In hot water In almost every
Inning, but always pulled out through his
own' cleverness.
The Tigers aro battling for first place,
and the fans will have another chnnce to
see Ty Cobb going at his very best clip
Cobb lids been playing wondorfttl ball,
but his side partner, Sam Crawford, Is
Just recovering from the longest batting
slump he has had In years. ' Wahoo
Sam" Is due to make up for lost time at
the expense ot Mack's youngstors.
Manager Jennings will depend on Jean
Dubuo today, if he h In farm. Otherwise
Bill Steen, lormerly of Cleveland, will
draw the pitching assignment In either
caso tho Athletics are likely to havo their
troubles getting base hits.

PITTSBURGH, PEGGING AWAY,
MAY BE SURPRISE OF RACE
In American League, Also, Detroit Likely to Give Fan$ a Jolt,
Says Critic-Pirates' Long Stay at H$he Should
Give Them Shove Toward Top.
By GRANTLAND RICE
"You baseball experts said the Morose
Fanatic, "nre ft fins lot."
"After admitting the eoft Impeachment
and thanking you for the same," replied
the Baseball Heportor, "what happens to
bo eating your lung out nowf What
crony bet haVe you lost lately t"
"Well," remarked the M. F. (slang for
Moroso Fanatic), "you fellows all wroto
when tho Red Sox went And took the
lead that It was all over; that they would
bust up the rnco In about 10 days back
at home and romp In. So, taking this
dope, I go and bet a guy fronv Detroit
and nnother guy from Chicago 3 to 1
that the Red Sox beat out the Tigers and
also that thev heat out the hlte Sox.
Now, they've been back home for more'n
a week and they not only haven't busted
up tho race, hut they have gone and lost
some ground. That's what I get for
trolling In with the dopo you guys shoot.','
Not 3 to 1 but-
"Anybody," said tho B. R "who bets
3 to 1 on any basebatl proposition Is crazy
nnd deserves to lose. But In spite of
that, you still ought to win. For the sit
uation Is this;
"Tho time for Detroit nnd Chicago to
beat the Red Sox was before July. For
the first two months of the race Joe Wood
couldn't lift an arm; Ray Collins was use
less; Leonard was out of condition, and
Speaker was hitting around the size of
his collar. And at that time they hadn't
adJcd Jack Barry to steady the infield."
From Now Out
"In spite ot all this, Detroit and Chi
cago couldn't sprint Into any ssfe lead.
When Wood, Collins and Leonard began
to pick up, when Speaker started bat
ting and Barry camo to camp the lied
8ox took about 15 minutes on the road
to rush Into the lead. On that last
trip they won more games on the road
thnn Chicago and Detroit could win at
home. They haven't been going any
loo fast slnco they got back, but they
haven't had to. They're out In front with
a better ball club than they have had all
year. They've got a fine pitching start
now a good run-getting club and a pretty
husky all - around machine Slnco he
came, back. Wood has won ten out
of 13 games, nnd Leonard looked good
enough the other day to strlko out Ty
Cobb with the bases full."
The One Chance
"The one club with a chance to beat
Uie Red Sox out, as I figure it. Is De
troit. And the only chance Detroit has
Is for Boston to get over-confident, to
figure the race all In and start loafing
too long. If that happens and Detroit
begins to get a little better pitching, o
may havo Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford
facing Alexander, Mamaux or Rudolph
in the next world's series. But If Bos
ton loses this American League pennant
now barring a lot of Injuries, she'll have
to kick It away using both feet for the
purpose. For after this home stay she
takes a short trip, comes back to Fen
way Parle on September 6 and stays
there for 21 games down the stretch
finishing with the Tanks In New York.
She's got the lead a good ball club and
(ho rest of tho schedule all her way.

"What's, th dope on this National
Lesgue racer" queried the Morose Fanatic-
"The dope on that race," said tho B JR.,
"as blown tip when Evers cracked an
ankla and Bill James reported leak in
his right shoulder. There hasn't been
any dope on that race since, and I doubt
If there will be until some club comes
staggering In a short noso ahead nt
the finish."
The Sable Equine
"Just at present there aro four clubs
that might be labeled with a chance
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston and Pitts
burgh. The dope for some days past has
favored Philadelphia ahd Boston to fight
out the closing stages of the-stretch And
tln-so two clubs won't finish very far
apart, for the Phillies will nut un . r-
rlble squawk before they surrender their
lead, as the Giants did last year There'll
bo none of this six straight stuff when
the Braves como along-not with Alexan
der manning ihe Big Gun of tho fort.
"But for a filer," continued the B R
"If you want to baek a dark horse and
can pick up the right odds-thera's Pitts
the finish."
The Pirate Chance
"Pittsburgh," asked the pazzled M. F.,
"where do you get that stuff? I haven't
heard them mentlonod as an outside
chance,"
"Which Is one reason why I like Pitts
burgh," said the B. R. "Nobody haa
given her a chance. She hasn't been fig
ured. Yet here she Is, after nearly four
months' play, within a short step of tho
top piking along, holding her own and
getting up speed at the proper moment.
"And you can figure this In also Tho
Braves, Phillies and Dodgors spend most
of their time nbw on the road. And nono
of them has been any too good out of
the, range of homo cooking But tho
Pirates stay at home thla trip until Au
gust IT Then they take a ahort Jump
East, whoro thoy havo played well this
season and then move back home on
September 1. From that date tHoy play
23 games at Forbes Field meeting every
club In the circuit on their own battle
ground bofore they leave to finish up with
St, Louis and Cincinnati."
Down the Stretch
"Philadelphia has Alexander, Boston
has Rudolph, but Pittsburgh has Ma
maux, ono ot the. great young pitchers "of
the game. Pittsburgh has been around
the foot in toaro bnttlng, and she hasn't
a man on the club above .ISO. But she
has the pitching, nnd bait players like
Wagner, Vlox and Carey are soon duo to
go out and got themselves somo baso hits.
And Pittsburgh hasn't had any streak
all the year. She has had no long winning
spurts like the Phillies, Dodgers and
Braves. She has been merely shuffling on
hor way. If she can stay within reach by
September 1 with those 23 games at home
well, It's no double-coppered cinch that
Philadelphia and Boston will be doing all
the fighting In the stretch. Certainly
not If Old Man Wagner suddenly swipes
tho dust out of his .300 batting eye, as he
may do now at any given moment under
proper Inspiration."
