DASHING PHILS LOOK LIKE REVIVED TEAM VAN LOAN'S BASEBALL STORY, "THE CRA1
STALLINGS SWEABS HE'LL WIN
DESPITE WALLOPINGS BY PHILS
' Baseball Fans, However, Who Saw the Boston Bunch,
Pail, to Follow the "Boss M Reasoning Fogel
Declares He Will Soon Own Baseball Club
Thofco who hnvo nttended tho first two games of the scries between the
rhlllles hnd liravcg nre ntmost Unanimous In tho opinion tlmt tho Braves can
not repeat In tho National Lengue. Manager BlftllliiffS, however, Insists thai
hlg team Is sure td win out. Ho says that tho race has nlmost two months to
run, and that the Phillies and Dodgers' will slip rapidly onco they got the bad
breaks tho Braves havo had.
A five-game lead at this slago of tho raco might bo too much for some
trAms, but, according to Bindings, It does not worry his men In tho leuM, and
they will win tho pennant with that margin of games to spare.
Just what Btnlllngs bases his prediction on Is hard to sec, as tho Ilravcs
Jiavo looked bad In both gomes horc. They still possess that remarkable and
valuable "ncvcr-say-dlo" spirit, and tho reported return to form of mil James
In apparently tho reason for this confidence. Jnmcs returned to his homo on
tho Pacific coast two weeks ago to rest his arm. Ho Is now on his way to Join
the tcsni, and says that his arm has responded to tho treatment admlnlstorcd
by "Doncsottcr" Ilecso nt Youngstown beforo ho went homo.
...
Dash In Phillies' Play One of Host Signs Yet
Even with James, Itudolph nnd Tyler In shape, It Is hard to seo how tho
Braves can hopo to overhaul tho Phillies If Moran's team can finish up tho
rasoti with tho samo confidence nnd dash that wcro noticeable on Saturday,
tt wad the first tlmo In a month that tho Phillies waded Into their opponents
Absolutely suro that they were tho better team nnd must win. A llttlo moro
or that spirit will make Moran's men a harder team to pull out of tho lead
than rival managers nro willing to bolleve.
Tho Braves havo threatened to return to their 1914 form sevcrnl times, but
havo always failed In tho pinch. Tho Phillies and Dodgers havo faltered, nnd
several times h'avo apparently been on tho vcrgo of cracking, but each tlmo
they havo como back with a rush, nnd It begins to look as If neither team
Is going to plcasQ the dopestcrs.

Dooln Regards Brooklyn as Best Club in League
Charley Dooln, former Phllty manager, "who Is now catching for tho Giants,
was In this city yesterday, and declared that tho Dodgers, In tho two games
played with the Giants on Friday and Saturday, looked by far better to him
than any team he had seen throughout tho season.
Despite tho fact that success for tho Phillies la to u, certain extent a re
flection on Dooln's managerial ability, he says ho wants to sen tho Phillies win
tho pennant If tho Glnntn fall, and ho believes they havo a wonderful chanco
with Alexander, In shapo.
Mayer May Take Rest; Dcmarcc in Rare Form
A continuation of tho splondld pitching that has featured tho Phillies' fight
for tho pennant Is altogether probable, though It Is llkoly that Ersklno Mayer
will havo s. rest for a fow days.
Tho sidetracking of Mayer In favor of AI Domareo for Saturday's gamo
came as a Burprlso to tho fans, and means cither that tho con:ldenco In
Mayer's condition Is lacking or Dcmareo Is in wonderful form. The latter Is
evidently tho case, as tho formor Giant twlrler was In rare shape, and tho
, Braves never had a chanco for victory.
Demarco had by far moro confldcnco than he has sbown on the homo field
this Bcason, nnd actually laughed and kidded tho Braves throughout Satur
day's gamo. Perhaps tho largo lead given him caused Demarce to take such a
humorous view of tho situation, but he. certainly looked bettor than over beforo.
Cincinnati Club in Straits, 'Likely to bo Sold
The reported efforts to sell tho Cincinnati National Lcaguo Club nro not a
surprise, as tt huB been known for some tlmo that finances wcro low. Garry
Herrmann denies tlmt an option ontho franchise was over offered to any ono
connected with tho Federal League, "but slnco the famous Tinker fiasco It Is a
welt-known fact In Cincinnati that Horrmann has no authority, and has been
merely a figure-head president for two yenrs.
Herrmann's blunder In allowing Tinker to go to tho Feds was tho end of
his reign with absolute authority. As mentioned hero before, Harry Stovons,
representing tho Fleishman interests which control tho majority of tho stock,
has been traveling with tho team for two years, and his sanction Is necessary
before Herrmann can consummate any deal Involving money or players.
.
Herrmann, Much Advertised, a Figurehead
That Herrmann hus not ovon been consulted in regard to tho sale of tho
club is ovldont, nnd Judging by remarks mado by Manager Herzog and Secre
tory Stevens, conditions havo been so poor In Cincinnati that the owners wcro
willing to sell for almost anything.
It Is baroly possible, being In this frame of mind, that thoy bclioved that
tho Feds would give them moro thnn nny other prospective buyor and would
have sold to them. Tho fnct that Herrmann Is chairman of tho National Com
mission, and has always beon well prcss-agented because he Is a princo of good
fellows, has led tho fans throughout tho country to bcliovo that ho was tho
owner of tho team and a very wealthy man, but such Is far from tho case
The club has always been controlled by tho Fleishman brothers, and when
u ... . . "' ""re"' '" W1 w lorK Americans it was docided
to get rid of tho Cincinnati stock, as Max. his brother. Is said to havo lost

More N. L. Flag Dope
A boll club, upon a general average, la
supposed to reach Its true form by the
first of July. Working on this basto
dope, the best clubs In the National
League are Brooklyn and Boston. They
have played more consistent ball than
any other rival, with Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia close behind.
While both Giants and Cubs are stIU
upon the edge of the main highway,
neither has yet put upon display any
consistent flag-Winning stuff. So In the
September drive the four clubs named
above are the ones to be listed as lead
ing contenders.
Comparative PoSyer
How do these four clubs compare?
There Isn't much to choose among the
catchers, Boston and Pittsburgh have
the better Infields. There Isn't a rank
ing outfield In the bunch.
In the way of pitching power Brooklyn
carries a greater aggregate of class, with
Bsston next. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
are forced to bank In the main upon two
star slabmen Mamaux and Alexander.
This portion of the dope stands proven
In The records. While Mamaux has won
18 games end lost but E, Adams, Harmon
and McQulllen together have only won
Bomeimns use an out or 68 games main
taining nothing better than an even
break. Alexander has drawn more help
from Mayer, but thla athlete In the last
six weeks has not ben able to win halt
his games, while Domaree, Hlxey and
Chalmers have all fallen below the .boo
mark in combined conquests. On the
other hand, with flherrod Smith, Dell,
Bucker. Coombs and Pfeffer, Brooklyn
hain't been forced to depend upon any
one lone star, as Pittsburgh and Phila
delphia have.
Brooklyn at bat carries more of a punch
than any of the other three, with Pitts
burgh next, Boston third and Philadel
phia fourth. But nono of tho four clubs
Is hitting tho ball as a flagwlnncr should,
all four being below .200.
On tho bases Pittsburgh has more
speed, but Boston is the best run-maker
of tho four by a tidy margin.
So In tho way of comparatlvo dopo
Brooklyn hns tho edge in nll-around Bluff.
Pittsburgh has tho best of the schedule.
Boston has the lead In "stretch exper
ience." And the Phillies havo Alexander
ond Cravath.
One Near Certainty
One development seems to be as close
to certainty as anything In baseball' ever
gets. If the Braves launch another up
ward smash and win again they will find
a far rockier road ahead than they knew
In mi. where they finally galloped In 10
lengths to the good. No 10 gamcB-prob-ably
no 6 games will separate the first
and second clubs this year. Tho Braves
haven't been ablo to maintain anything
llko the speed they startod with four
weeks ago, and there has yet been no
sign that Brooklyn, Philadelphia or Pitts
burgh Ib ready to slip and drop from tho
fight.
Based upon what shreds of the dope wo
still have left, tho next Blx weeks will
seo tho most hectic period the National
Lcaguo has ever known-hectlo boyond
all imagining.
Maxims of the 19th Holo
Verily upon some day It shall eom

broke his way.
But upon that day the heavens shall
fall and the earth shall split apart nnd
William Jennings Bryan shall seek the
solitude of a philosophy that knows no

He was seldom seen at a theatre; he
