Martin Keller ia boasting of a lovely

plsylng the Hth hole and had a long shot
to fetch tho green. Just before tho green,
It might bo mentioned In passing. Is u
plseld but bottomless pond which Is some
0 yards wide.
And Keller was scratching his head over
, (lit inevitable problem that all golfers are
called upon some day to face, namely,
whether to attempt tho long shot, trying
to go across tho water onto the green, or
whether to sacrifice his dignity and phy
safely short. Ho nobly chose the lattar
and all ho had to do then was to shoot
over tho pond. And ho topped his ball
But he wati so brutal about It that thn
ba.lt skipped In threo merry hops right
over the surface of tho water to the Broen
K This was a scientific shot and docs not

himself says so.
A fast amateur-pro match went out
at Frankford tho other day, when Clem

OBSERVE
THE "RULES OP THE ROAD"
the condition. Small-car drivers, you need
to forgot tho nlro of your care, or any
overweening prido In them, and remem
ber that a road should always be open.
It In not open when you stop on It, no
mnttor how skimpy may bo your car's
u lieclBaae.
Get the habit of keening to the right
side of a road, especially on a blind
curve When meeting cars on a crowned
road, always slow down, as a car is not
easily controllable when being steered
oft the crown nt speed. If there is a
puddlo In the road which you cannot
nvold or cannot hit squarely with both
wheels, slow up. A bad skid may be
caused by one of the driving wheels
losing traction in a slippery, greasy spot.
If you arc going at any speed, the skid
luay bo sufficient to throw you danger
ous) off the road
Promoters of the speedway at Wnr
mlnster, near Untboro, announce that
they have secured excluslvo rights to
the holding of automobile races In this

Work Is now going forward on tho

will be opened nt an early date.
Before motor cars became a utility of
the masses the problem of the high cost
of garaglnr will have to be solved.
The average city dweller In a small
house or apartment has no ground of his
own on which to erect a garage. Propeity
Is too expensive fn the city for the aver
age man to own hla own garage building
unless he buys a small lot out In the
outskirts.
It Is out of the question for the man
who might buy a car Instead of a plana
to pay a high garage rent.
Motor Print suggests that the way to
solve the problem Is to erect public gar
age buildings of many stories, the rent
to be graduated according to the floor
on which the car is to be stored To
lower the cost to a minimum there should
be no washing service, the owner to at.
tend to this.

YOUNG MAMAUX,
PIRATE MARVEL,
ALL-ROUND JINX
First Year as a Regular
and Already Has Won
Eighteen Games
HAS MATTY'S GREAT DROP
Corsair Adds Perfect Control
to Sharp Curve, Hence
His Power
The Phillies have n particular "Jinx" to
shatter during the preoent series with
tho Pirate.. That "Jinx" is Al Mamaux,
the sensational young twlrler of the Cor
sairs. No pitcher In the National League
has proved so troublesome for the locals
as this Pittsburgh wonder.
Mnmaux has been on the mound against
the fast-llylng league lenders six times
this scasoh Four of the games hae
resulted In victories for Pittsburgh, ono
being n defeat at the hands of Alexander
In a great ll-lnnlng battle, while on the
other occasion Mnmaux was taken fiom
ine mound with his team lending thr
Phils by n run Adams, who took up the
Pitching burden In this game, was badlj
henten In the eighth Inning, the PhlllleR
staging a three-run rally when It looked
no If all hope for victory had gone.
Included In Mnmaux's list of triumphs
over tho Phillies are two shut-out vic
tories, unothcr performance that no other
Pitcher can boast of. In both of these
games Mnmaux had the Moran mn com
pletely nt his mercy and they had few
chnncos to Rcoro Aside from shutting
the Phillies out twice, Mamnux In also
the only twlrler who can bonBt of two
nlne-lnnlng victories over the local team
ln one series.
On July 8 Mamaux shut the Phllllci out,
2 to 0, beating Eppa Hlxey In a great
hurling duel, and ho enmo back on July
t2 and won from Georgo Chalmers, 4 to 2,
In the last game of the samo seiics In
his last, appearance against tho Phils
Mnmaux allowed only four hits and reg
istered a shut-out
Mnmaux's only dofeat was accom
plished through a costly misplay that
gnve the Phillies a start on a three-run
rally in tho 11th inning of a grcnt battle
In Pittsburgh on Juno II In this game
Alexander the Great could hardly have
bien beaten undor any conditions The
Pirates mnda only two hits off the king
of pitchers In nine Innings, and the run
which enabled the Pirates to carry off
tho gamo Into extra Innings was a
mine
When Mnmaux flashed before the fans
ns a candidate for the crowns of Alnx.
ander and Walter Johnson the fans be
gan lo nsk what he had that made him
such a great pitcher To which Chick
Frasor. the former Philly pitcher, who
Is coaphlng tho twlrlcrs nnd scouting for
tho Plritcs, replied: "He han something
that no other pitcher has had In thlB
league before or since Matty'a palmy
days: that is. a diop ball that is a won
der and control of It that Is uncanny.
"I have been In the game many years,
but never hiiw such n perfect drop ball
There nro few pitchers now In the gamo
who ueh this deliver because the Im
pression Is general that It Is too hard
on the arm: but Mamaux has mastered
It, and has done so without hurling his
arm,
"A drop hall made Matty famous long
before he knew what tho 'fadeaway'
and other new deliveries were, and when
hlB old drop ball was right It was better
than all tho other freak curves ever in-
venieu Mamaux Is no flash. Ho Is i
wonderful pitcher, and will continue to
burn up tno leaguo for notno ears to
come."
This was Franer's prediction early In
the season, and Mamnux has exceeded
ovtn tho fondest hopes of tho Pirato
tutor. Somo scribes havo placed this
youngster on a par with Alexander the
Great; but the conservatives will have
to be shown more than one season's
flash to place any twlrler In the class
with Alexander, Johnson, Matty and a
few others who havo held up for a
strotch under all soits of conditions.
Mnmaux's record, shown that he had
played no favorites. All teams have
looked alike to him, and he beats them
in order Following is his record,

The Phillies will face Al Mamaux, the
neniiatlonal young twlrler of the Pirates,
In tho first game of the series between
tho league-lending Phils nnd Fred
flarko'o pennant hopes. Mamaux has
not been on the mound for a week, as
Clarke has been nut sing him for this
series
Mnmaux lins been unusually effectivo
ngaliiBt tliK rhlllles this season, nnd
Clarke Intends to use him twice In the
present serlei In hopH nf cuttlna; down
Ihr lead. Manager Clarke still believes
that tho Pirates have a good chance for
the ponnant If tho team can keep out
of slumps such as caused the loss of live
gnmes In a row to tho Beds
It Is likely that Ersklne Mayer will go
to the mound for the Phillies It Is his
turn to work and as he has always been
effective ngnlnst the Corsairs lu tho pnst
.Moran win nd him in If ho warms up
well. Al Demareo Is second choice for
the pitching duty, and In either case tho
Phillies have a line chance of 'ipsottlng
tho oung Pirate star.

P'llceman! p'llceman' don't ketch me,

Some of the policemen of the 10th Dis
trict had a morning off and thoy had a
Joyous time playing ball at Stetson Ath
letic Association's Held. Platoon No 2
of the 10th District had an Idea It could
trim the representatives of Platoon No.
3, and they set about to do It In true
Phillies' order.
Platoon No 3 possessed plenty of con
fidence, but not sufficient batting prac
tice. The Platoon No. 2 members won
by tho score of D to 6 Ono of the cop
pers on the losing squad remarked, "Well,
It took two pitchers to do It." as though
that was a very logical excuse.
Evans pitched u great game for the
vanquished, but Inability of his team
mates to hit at proper time waa the rea
son for their downfall. Butterly and
Hnnlsh pitched well for the winners.

PAT MORAN, IN SINGLE SEASON,
LEAPS TO EORE AS MANAGER
Phillies' Leader Has Welded Hitherto Loose Organiza
tion Into One of Most Effective Baseball
Machines of Year, Says Critic
By GRANTLAND RICE
Sir Patrick Moran

With John itcrjrttw or Maok;
Thtu've lied ho 1'. L imirfle
To ftl fjooit ohl Irith nnmr,
Wl'
Theu'tie raffed him no .VnpoMon
At he tHrgcd to the attack
But bleti M$ good oUl tilth tout,
He's up there Jurt thn tame.
So Pal, acre's foolliij; at v'
Doggone your Irish hide,
You may not tclii but trollhtthl,
You've 0liTii Vw n ride.
Resuming Willi Pat
Out or nil two pink and while bouquets
tossed here nnd there this season, Pat
Moran Is tho one man who has reccHcd
far less than his due.
No om has referred to hln: as a Mlruclo
Man, n Peerless Leader or a Napoleon.
Hut for all that Moran lias turned In
ono of the nnest little managing Jobs any
campaign has ever known Above all
eise, ho has held n club together that In
tho past was noted for a fragile morale
up agninst the test. And In nns of trial
and trlbulntlon he has held his poise and
directed his club for tho future rather
than for tho Immediate present.
One Example
Here Is one example of Moran's keen
leadership After a good start tho Phil
lies began to nulver nnd slip. 8evernl of
ills pitchers began to flutter and flounder
along the way The temptation wbb
strong al these spits to throw In Alexan
der out of turn and check the descent.
Hut Pat lipid Illc Alec out of the mcleo
and pormltled him to work onlv In his
turn No attompt was made to save the
day by overworking his star As a re
sult of this skilful management and un
usual foreolght, Moran Is now able to
faco the stretch with Alexander In prime
shnpe, rendv to glvo his bCBt
Then were several occasions when It
ioone as if the Phillies were pointed to
ward the Iwnky dell for n quick dlsap-
I penrance. Other managers around the
landscape woro picking them to break
one lade away But Moran refused to bo
stampeded Into taking any unusual risks
He hold his clan together, kept them
hustling, nnd now has a fine chance to
leap the main N. L. glory of tho year.
Maxims of the 10th Hole
They speak of "winning temporament"
iib on might mention tho ultimate thing
In Immortality.
Hut the bloke who hath a wooden soul
shall lead tho Held
The Two Fnvoritcs
Ten dajs ago there weio six strong
candidates for the top. Then the Giants
and Cubs dropped back. When Cincin
nati crushed Pittsburgh nnd Philadelphia
smothered Boston, Philadelphia and
Ilrooklvn for the tlmo being assumed the
bulk of the spotlight.
These two entries must now bo con
sidered as tho Best Bets, und If they can
repulse the Western attack those next
two weeks, especially tho assaults of
Pittsburgh, they should fight out tho
championship on the road through Sep
temberand on the road Philadelphia has
traveled at a faster clip than Brooklyn.

When all the lighters of the fleet,
