FORTUNE SMILES ON PHILLIES;
REST BEFORE CRUCIAL SERIES
KELLY-ARGUING ABOUT THE CHECK
L&y Off Just in Nick of Time, as Pitchers Are Weaken
ing and Whole Team Is in Batting Slump Athletics
Hit Hard, But Hits Fail to Count.
Fortune smiled on the Phillies. Just when' It seemed that the team had gone
(tale the freak schedule, which gives the Phillies a good rest before the all
Important series with the Braves, cornea to their rescue. Nothing Is needed
mora by Moran's club nt this time than a complete rest for a few days. Tho
team has been wabbling" bndly alheo nn unusually hot doy In St. Louis, and when
it Is hot In St Louis bnll players hnto tho nnmc of St. Louis. Tho Phllly players
believe that the heat lit tho mound city was responsible for tho slump. Byrne
was forced to leave one name, while Klllefcr coma not catch another, and sev
eral Other players were in no shape to play, but had to.
The few days of rest Will bo Invaluable to tho pitching staff, which has shown
Unmistakable signs of Weakening, while It may also cause several of the sluggers
to reftnln their batting form. Tho strain has been telling on tho Phillies earlier
than it should, and rest Is tho best thing for a stale athlete.
' ...
Phillies Must Stop Hush of Brooklyn Dodgers
While tho Phillies are still In their slump, tho Dodgers and PIratca ap
parently have regained the form that mode both dangorous contenders a few
weeks ago, and Brooklyn Is now less than a gamo behind Moron's men. While
pace-making in such a nerve-racking race Is not a pleasing task, It behooves the
Phillies to keep tho Dodgers out of the lead, becnuso the Impression Is general
that it Will bo a hard team to stop If It ever reaches the top. Since the mlddto of
May Brooklyn has won a larger percerttngo of Its games than any team In tho
league, and may have another winning streak onco It gets tho lead.
...
Athletics Whale the Ball, But Hits Fail to Count
Tho Athletics yesterday mado 1G hits off Jim Bcott, but could tally only four
runs, and another gamo was lost. Tho Mackmcn have been hitting hard during
tho entire home stand, but the Inability to hit with men on bases and tho failure
pf several players to tako two bases on a single make It necessary for the
Athletics to register threo hits to a run. No better cxnmplo of this could bo
found than In yesterday's game, when tho Mackmcn made at least ono safety In
every Inning but, tho ninth, and Scott gave free, transportation to threo men,
and yet tho Mackmcn could score In only two Innings. It mqy have been duo
to Scott's, plnch-pltchlng, but from tho stand ho looked cosy after tho first
inning. -
...
White Sox Return to Early Season Batting Form
On tho other hand, tho White Sox mado their hits count, and probably could
havo tallied more had they not eased up and taken needless chances on the
bases. It was tho first time that tho White Sox have batted in their early
season form slnco tho Eastern trip started, and Manager Rowland said after
the gamo that ho was now convinced that tho Sox would got back Into tho
lead on tho coming homo stand. Tho Whlto ox park Is ,tho hardest In tho league
for visiting players, and Rowland believes that a long winning streak, which
will put tho team In tho lead, Is likely to start any dny. ..

Brcsslcr, as Usual. Makes a Sorry Showing
Rube Brcsslcr had another chance on the mound, and, as usual, his perform
ance was just a trifle worso than tho provlous ono. Tho big southpaw, who looked
Jlke a world beater In 1014, apparently has lost confidence In himself, and Instead
of Improving has less snap to his curve ball than ho, had a year ago. Bressler's
curve was batted hard by the left-handers, and when such Is tho case tho fans
can rest assured that a southpaw has nothing on tho ball.
. .
Amos Strunk "Shows Up" Eddie Murphy
There was more brilliant fielding in yesterday's game than In any provlous
contest at Shlbo Park this season, but It was partly lost on the fans, who were
so disgusted with tho poor pitching. Amos Strunk mado several brilliant plays
In right and made Eddie Murphy look like o. Belling plater right In Murphy's
favorite field.
While Strunk was pulling down long drives and cutting ordinary doubles
and triples to singles. Murphy was having a bad day misjudging fly balls and
playing grounders poorly. Manager Mack's wisdom In making this change was
nppreciaiea ny tne spectators, who kidded Murphy and cheered Strunk.

Local Fans Don't Like Umpire Baiting
"Philadelphia hns always beon known ns tho squorest city in the land
toward visiting players, and its baseball writers always havo condemned local
players for being nbuslvo toward umpires. They know that tho fans and
papers will not stand for this sort of stuff in this city."
This Is tho opinion expressed by a local fan who has followed tho gamo
for years. Ho 1b. no doubt, correct.
Visiting players havo behaved disgracefully on local fleldB, and scrlbos
traveling with thej teams In writing stories back havo condoned their actions
and placed tho blame on tho umpires and everybody elso imaglnnble. This has
never been a habit of local scribes, who generally place tho blamo where it
belongs.
Bancroft, the Phllly shortstop, was amazed when almost every paper in
the city criticised him for kicking himself out of a gamo a few weeks ago. Llko

Twilight League Game Should Be Declared Forfeited
The Evenino LEDoisn has been asked to settle a dispute regarding for
feiture of a ball game. Tho case is Btated In this manner:
"In a Twilight League game recently one team was short two men and
was forced to play two not eligible in order to protect their franchise. Tho
rules of the league say that any team playing men not eligible shall forfeit
any and nil games in which this rule is violated. Tho other team Immediately
entered a protest. Tho umpire was forced to call the gamo at the end of tho
fourth inning, owing to darkness, with tho team playing the-Ineligible men
ahead by tho scoro 8 to 3. Tho manager violating the rules was willing to
forfeit tho game had the legal number of Innings been played, which would
have been five full in this instance, but contending that as only four innings
were played, his team should not lose tho game by forfeit, but that it should
He declared no game and ordered to bo played over.
The gome is forfeited, as tho contest played was merely an exhibition the
result of which had no bearing on tho case. A ball game is forfeited as Boon
as time for play arrives and one of the teams falls to have nine eliclble men
on the field. The rainstorm which interrupted the exhibition contest can h"v"

Incentive Given to New Automobile Engine Ideas by
Genius "Without Honor in His Own Country."
New Automobile Map of Jersey Issued
When tho Knight slcovo valvo motor
was first taken up and standardized oy
a British maker It provoked a tremendous
boom In invention and experiment with
gasoline engines having sleeve, piston
or rotnry vnlvcs. It Is sufo to predict
that tho adoption of the Knight motor
for a car which will bo produced In largo
quantities Is sure to have a similar effect,
says Automobile. Tho stimulus to in
vcntlo thought created by tho Knight
motor's llrat nppearanco as a European
product spread all over tho mechanical
world, and waa not .confined to Europe,
by any means; so thero aro many half
developed ldeus lying dormant in America
which huvo novcr been exploited or even
tried out.
A boom in any sort of Invention Is
usually productive of a few excellent
thlngfl, even though tho mass of boom
Inventions are utterly worthless; bo It
seems likely that a reawakened Interest
In motor valve systems may lead some of
tho languishing ideas to bo resuscitated.
With the valve situation so shaken up as
It has been by the success of multl-valvo
racing motors tho wholo subject Is ripe
for renewed experiment. Wo know much
more about materials and about lubri
cation than wo did In 1900, and It Is pos
sible that Bomo good motors which wero
impracticable then would bo satisfactory
now.
A very comprehensive map of motor
routes between Philadelphia and tho
north and central Jersey coast has Just
been completed and Issued by tho Auto
mobllo Club of Philadelphia. It gives
the latest Information on all important
routes and details of the shoro boulc
inrd. This is the third of a series of
maps giving detailed routes leading In
alt directions from Philadelphia. Those
previously Issued wero south central
Pennsylvania and southeastern Pennsyl
vania Others which will be Issued soon
will be northeastern Pennsylvania and
northern New Jersey.
In connection with tho now central Now
Jersey map, W. O. Griffith, chairman of
tho Tourlnc Committee of tho Automobllo
Club, advises that tho best route to tho
north Jersey coast Is by way of Cam
den, Mt, Holly, New Egypt and Lake
wood. AH the routes to Trenton aro in
poor Bhape, the best being by way of tho
Northeast Boulevard, Ithawn street, Bris
tol pike, to Bristol and to Trenton by
way of tho Beaver Dam road. North Jer
sey coast points are reached from Tren
ton by way of Hlghtstown and Freehold,
The best Cape May route Is by way
of Gloucester, Mlllvllle and Point Eliza
beth. Who Whlto Horse plko to Atlantic
City Is temporarily In bad shape, but
will shortly bo Bcraped and improved. At
present the better way Is by way of
Gloucester, Glassboro and May's Land
ing. The shore boulevard Is In first-class
shape from Atlantic Highlands to Cape
Stay, with the exception of the brldgv
between Tuckerton and Port Republic.
This Is in unsafe condition, and plans
are under way for a new bridge, it can
be avoided by a detour from Tuckerton
to Wadlpg Illver and Egg Harbor City,
Efforts to avoid the usual route to
Wilmington through Chester, on account
of the activity of the police on the Chea
ter pike, have been unsuccessful. The
alternate route by way of Media Is five
miles longer and Is In poor shape, E.
E. Hogle, In the pathflndlng car of the
Automobile -Club of Philadelphia, went
over both of the routes on Friday and
declares emphatically In favor of Ches
ter This roufe Is through Darby, Mar
cus Hook and Chester to Wilmington.
The best road to Darby at present is out
Walnut street, le't on 60th street and
right on Woodland avenue, but the
Darby and Lansdowne Pike, now under
repair, will be In shape within a week.
From Darby to Marcus Hook the road Is
good and from Marcus Hook to Chester
the new brick road is excellent. From
the Delaware Stato line, at Claymont, to
the Wilmington City limit, the road is
hard hut rather rough and a detour of
two miles Is necessary on account of the
new bridge under construction, which will
be finished by the middle of this week.
The route by way of Media, which la
five miles longer than by Chester, a total
flf tiA. 41 mil.. In fin I.. .....

places, and three detours are necessary.
The road from Philadelphia to yedla Is
fnlr and from Media through Wawa to
Chelsea Is fair, but there are four miles
of very bad road through ChcBtcr
Heights to Booth's Corner. From
Booth's Corner thero aro 2i4 miles of
wornotit macadam to Concord, and from
Concord to Wilmington aro Vf, miles of
fnlr macadam. Mr. Hogle found no evi
dence of police activity on tho Chester
route, but ndvlscs caution as to speed
regulation and horn signs.
...
What man would try to rldo a bicycle
weighing 100 pounds?
Surely, only n crazy man, ana yet many
a gasoline motor Is being asked to do
something equally absurd. Tho motor
does It because it Is strong enough, but
It does it only at tho cost of more fuel.
oil nnd tires than would bo used to carry
a lighter load. "Carrying on tho bicycle
analogy, the vehlclo hcr weighs less
than one-fifth as much as the load It car
ries. The automobile, on the other hand.
weighs more nearly five times as much
as the load.
Of course, the cases are different, as the)
automobile load does not supply Its own
power, but tho fnct remains that only one
fifth of the power of an automobllo en
gine Is avallnblo far the transport of tho
passengers, tho other four-fifths goes to
tho transport of tho car Itself. Surely
four-fifths Is a very largo fraction?
The automobile has been given relia
bility and a wondorful flexibility of
power that Is best called roadablllty.
Throughout Its development tho word
efficiency has been used loosely with ref
erence to all sorts of things, but wo
havo now reached the stage where the
only real efficiency may be studied. Iloal
efficiency in tho broadest senso means
work done by comparison with cost of
doing it. and the nrst step along tho
road of progress Is to cut out some of
that four-fifths of dead metal. It Is no
Impossibility; merely It means tho use
of moro suitable materials and a better
proportioning of stresses throughout the
structure as a whole. Let every part
help to carry Itself Instead of having
some other part to bear Its weight.
The horn trap In Pennsylvania was
given a hard blow by a decision of Judge
Johnson In the Dauphin County Court at
HarrUburg last week when a verdict of
guilty was set aside and a verdict of not
guilty ordered by tho Court.
Secretary J. Clyde Myton, of the Motor
Club of Harrisburg, offered himself In
tho case against a constable and Justice
of tho peace at MIddlotown, Pa., where
a horn trap was maintained during the
summer for several years. Each Sunday
hundreds of motorists would be caught
and notffied to pay a fine or costs and
f,,,1Mconf.tnblea and Juat'co made a big
killing." The case was not fought In
the court. Mr. 'Myton pjeadlng guilty, but
then the case was argued on the grounds
that the constable had no Jurisdiction to
erect the signs and make arrests with
out the sanction and action of the town
ship authorities.
.J?Vctorjr 'or ,he Motor Cliib shows
that 'horn traps" cannot be maintained
unless signs aro regularly authorized by
borough or township official boards. Ac-
UZ1,y'm ",k?Ly e taken nealst 'he con.
Btables and the Justice of the peace o re-

and It Is possible that other more serious
charges will be preferred.
