Thero I- a tree stump In tho mtddlo
of tho falray at the Woodbury courie
tthlch has stumped many a player there
In Its day and has been tho hero of
a-many spoiled and freak shots It was
removed yesterday nmld no llttlo ex
citement with dynamite.
Chairman nrown, of tho Clotf Commit
tee, eamo bravely forth front the club
house at tho appointed hour nmld the
cheers of the crowd, holding three .-el-low
and wicked-looking sticks of dna
mite at arm's length. His knees shook
and the crowd fell back. Hut he hnd
provided no percussion caps and how to
set oft tho cxploslvo was then the prob
lem. "Admiral" Comly, of the caddies, had
the Idea of the day.
"I will set off tho dynamite," he said,
stepping forward like a little ncro.
"How?" "....luted tho crowd In unison.
Tho "Admiral" gaA'e them the pitying
look of tho master mind.
"I'll sock a stick of dynamite high In
the air with my nlbllc, land It on tho
tree, nnd It'll go off Just as nice."
Then the crowd surged forward, find,
hoisting tho "Admiral" on high, they
carried him In triumph around the course,
cheering lustily, for, a mere youth, had
he not shown tho way where older heads
had faltered?
Thero was an Interesting sight at Edge
Hill on Wednesday when tho Credit Men's
Association held Its first minimi golf
tournament. It lasted rather late Into
tho evening. There were about CO golfers
engaged In the battle for tho prizes. Play
was tied up at the 10th hole, where tho
object was to seo who could go through.
This Is where noses were counted, though
the flying rocks and dust was pretty
thick.
Tho holo Is the "quarry" hole, and ono
after another of tho pairs disappeared
Into Its depths to begin tho task of
shooting out the obstinate pills. The
hacking and pawing went forward with
Buch fury that thero was at last a regu
lar Panama Canal landslide. Golfers
fled for their lives and all escaped unin
jured. A mixed foursome was going forward
with some bitterness at the Seavlcw Qolf
Club. One of the pairs was ovldently
a stranger to tho course, which is quite
new, and still "In the process."
A young womnn followed a ball,
knocked there by her young man partner,
into tho rough. Indeed, It was quite
rough. She tried to gougo It out, but It
laughed and only hopped a foot or so.
"In my homo town," spoke up the
young woman with some fervor, "they
don't call this stuff long grass they call
it wheat!"
"Where I live," sobbed the young man,
ns he slapped a mosquito and took the
mashle, "they call it corn!"
AT RIVERSIDE
CLASSICS OF YEAR

Kendrick Trophy
Club, carried off the Kendrick trophy,
offered to the boat making the best
elapsed time over the course. This
speedy cruiser made tho run of 81 nauti
cal miles In 7 hours 05 minutes 55 sec
onds. Tho Mascot, the scratch boat In tho
race, owned by Charles Helber, of the
Columbia Yacht Club, got underway and
had fine sailing down the Delaware until
fctony Point was reached, when the crank
shaft became overheated. Every effort
was made to get cooling oil to the Seated
bearing, but not until 50 precious min
utes had been lost. After that It was
plain sailing to tho finish line, which was
reached at 6:58:35, Just 10 hours 33 min
utes 13 seconds after the start. Aboard
tho Mascot woro "Dick" Young, J. IC
Shell, Chas. Helber, Bill Cloak and Fred
Spamer..
A northeast galo kicked up a nasty
sea at Ship John Light and a follow sea
taxed the strength of the helmsmen to
the utmost.
One of the pleasing sights at the race
was the return of the old Pickaninny.
Captains Ball and Taylor, of tho Camden
Motorboat Club,- piloted the consistent
running vessel nnd landed second cup
with her. She covered tlio route In
9:21:22. Hnttle Bert, third In the run
ning, went over the course In 12:01:24.
The I5va-Dor, Charles Wcnzlngcr, of tho
Columbia Yacht Club, was fourth.
A hot race was witnessed between Jen
nie 0., Captain George Stock, Camden
Motorboat Club, nnd Dora II, B. Alro
shoff, of the Riverside Yacht Club. But
20 seconds separated tho two vessels at
the finish. They finished fifth and sixth,
respectively,
The Naomi .was the vessel In the race
which was reported broken down nt Ar
tificial Island. When this vessel reported
at tho finish Thursday morning at Bsslng
ton the crew stated they had simply run
out of gasoline, and had anchored at Fen
wick Beach.
W. T. McNam.ee, of tho Riverside Yacht
Club, was unable to take his boat out
because of Illness in his family, but per
mitted the expert navigators. Commodore
John J. Buckloy, of the Chester Yacht
Club, and Commodore C, A, Morrell, of
the Adelphla Yacht Club, to get her un
derway. The Mermaid, at Esslngton, was put
about for a run down the Delaware to aid
the Naomi. When the Mermaid located
the Naomi at Fenwlck Beach she had
carburetor trouble, and Instead of lendlnn
assistance was herself towed to Easing

MAMAUX SCHEDULED
TO PITCH LAST GAME
AGAINST PHILLIES
Victory for Pittsburgh Today
Will Give Clarke's Team Sea
son's Series From League
Leading Phils
ALEXANDER MAY WORK
Al Mamaux, the brilliant young twlrler
of tho Pirates, rejoined the team yes
terday, and Mnnager Clarko said this
morning that ho expected to send his
sensation to the mound agalnBt the Phil
lies this afternoon, In hopes of making
a clean sweep of the series.
Mamaux has found tho Phillies par
ticularly easy this season, and has reg
istered four victories against one defeat
In his season's work against the league
leaders. A victory for the Pirates today
will glvo them the season's series from
the Phils, as the count now stands 11
victories and 6 defeats for Pittsburgh.
With a lead of but two points on
Brooklyn, Manager Moran Is just a trllle
anxious about today's game, and It would
not bo surprising If Alexander the Orcat
went to the mound fdY the Phillies, pro
vided Maumaux Is tho Pirate pitcher. It
is Rlxoy's turn to pitch, but Moran must
stop the Pirates, and believes his chances
are better with Alexander.
By working Alexander today Moran
would send Rlxey and Dcmarco in to
start the two games with tho Cubs to
morrow and could come back with Alex
ander on Tuesday. It was Moran's orig
inal Intention to use Alexnnder in two
games against the Cubs, but tho sudden
spurt of tho Pirates will probably cause
him to eh an Bo his plans. To dato Pitts
burgh has been by far harder for the
Phillies than Chicago and Moran wanti
to stop the rush of Clarke's team.
RUBE BRESSLER WILL
PITCH FOR MACKMEN
Southpaw, Who Has Returned
to Form, Will Try to Break
Detroit's Streak
DETROIT, Aug. 20. Rube Bressler,
Mack's southpaw, who has shown a sud
den return to form, will try tp break the
winning streak of the Tigers this after
noon. Detroit has won eight games In
a row and Is now In position to enter first
place by winning today If tho White Sox
defeat Boston again.
In his last start Bressler held New York
to one hit, and tho Tigers are looking for
a hard game today. Manager Jennings
announced this morning that he would
send Jean Dubuc to tho mound against
Mack's southpaw. Dubuc has been par
ticuarly effective against the Athletics
this season and In the last series In Phila
delphia won two pitching duels from
Wyckoff, the star of Mack's staff.
The defeat of Wyckoff yesterday was
pleasing to the Tigers, as he Is the only
twlrler on the visiting staff who is feared
by tho Tigers. With Wyckoff out of
the way Jennings looks for a clean sweep
of the series.

No Need for Gloves, Mask and Pro
tector Pitching Is Underhand.

"Playground baseball," which differs
from tho national sport by the conspicu
ous nbnence of gloves, mask nnd protec
tor, and the abiding of two rulings under
hand pitching nnd stealing bases only
nfter tho ball reaches tho catcher, has
been proving a monstrous attraction at
Starr Garden Park, 6th and Lombard
streets. Crowds of 1500 nnd 2000 "frenzied
fans" fill the park when "crucial games"
are played.
Five leagues, viz.: Class A (10 to 14-ycar-Old
boys) ; Class B (14 to 16-year-old boys) ;
Class C (IB to 18-year-old boys): Glass
D (boys more than 18), and a morning cir
cuit, composed of 10 to 14-year-old boys.
are in Drogress at the present time under
tho supervision of Instructor Peter Smith.
Followers of the different leagues man
ifest most interest In tho Class D league,
which Is composed of nines of different
nationalities, as follows: Tulips, Irish;

He starts you off right, but he qualifies

As if he was trying to slip through a

How much do you think of a fellow like

I can stand for the guy who begins with a

Who brands you a boob or a joke or a

Who admits that he never was strong for

And goes to the end without taking a

But the fellow who starts with a boost for

Too Much Ground
Dear Sir To settle a dispute, what is
the greatest battery baseball has ever
iinnunt An answer to this would be of
interest to a great many readers.
ff Ail,
This order is slightly too bulky for our
limited capacity. But here are a few
to select from:
Clarkson and Kelly Boston, 189L
Rusle and Ewlng New York, 1892.
Nlcholls and Bergen Boston, 1897,
Young and Zlmmer Cleveland. 1893.
Mathewson and Breanahan New York,
IMS.
Brown and Kllng-Chlcago, 1908.
Walsh and Sullivan Chicago (A. L.),
1908. . ...
Johnson and Ainsmith Washington,
1912.
It would take a brave man to pick out
any one battery from even this partial
list and label It as the greatest ever
known. It would be difficult to prove
that any of these mentioned had very
much even upon the two star batteries
of the present year Alexander and Kll
lefer or Mamaux and Gibson. The most
effective battery combination we have
ever seen under fire the most efficient
for all around resourcefulness was the
Mathewson-Bresnahan battery In the
world's series of 1905, where Matty
pitched three shutouts and Bresnahan'a
catching was one of the big features of
the series. Brown and Kllng formed one
of the great batteries of all time but
as for the term "greatest" that ilea out
beyond our ken.

Great sport has been had by the surf

been seen early morning and evenings
chasing tho young mullet and rock min

The casters used the smallest saulds and
spoons obtainable and the lightest bay
rods. With this light tackle the tiny
tackle smashers proved to the anglers
what their future performances would
linVo been hnd they been permitted to
grow larger. Many fish were lost owing
to their ability to overrun the line as It
was reeled In, and great skill was neces
sary to bring them through the surf, A
2-Inch pearl squid proved to be tho most
killing lure, nnd the bent sport was given
to those using 6-thrend lines.
GOOD KINO FISHINd.
James W. Fernley, of Philadelphia, has
succeeded In locating the feeding grounds
of the klngfish. Last week he caught 41

the early part of the week trolling for
tuna. The men had special tackle and
wero prepared to handlo any of the large
fish that might have been hooked, They
got a number of large bluefish and one
olght-pound bonlta that at first caused
much excitement because of Its resem
blance to small tuna.
Dr. and Mrs. Rltt&r hit tho klngfishlng
last week In Rainbow Channel. Mrs. Rlt
ter, who Is a novice at the game, ably
handled a 3li-pound wcakfish, which she
succeeded In landing.
One of the lifeguards at Ocean City
caught a cutlass fish measuring 21 inches.
This fish Is very rare and will be mounted
for the fishing club.
away the best amateur at handling a
brustle for a long shot to the green.
Evans Is exceptionally good with both
wood and Iron, but the one shot where
he rises above all other American ama
teurs Is in the use of his mashle. Those
who are lucky enough to be at Detroit In
th next fortnight might make a few ob
servations and note whether or not these
deductions are right or wrong.

Another Tip
Dear Sir I note where you figure out a
fairly even arrangement In the lawn ten
nis championship ahead with McLoughlln,
Willlnms, Behr and others fairly close
together.
But you can take the following as a
sure tip: McLoughlln, playing most of the
time upon the asphalt courts of Califor
nia, hasn't had time to adjust his game
or to have It properly keyed upon grass
courts. This shift always takes a few
weeks. But he is now swinging Into his
stride, and by the time the championship
Is on there will be only one contender
and the name will be Maurice McLough
