has been playing beautiful golf at nla
for a wetk. All tho well-known locals
nro entered, though some of tho very
best are out of town nnd, therefore,
will not be on hand.
Chljrlcs H. Schwab, chairman of tho
Bethlehem 8teel Corporation, Is an ardent
golfer, a though ho often laughingly savii
It Is lucky for his stockholders that ho
knows more nbout making steel than ho
does about making shots.
Ilcccntly, while ho as nt kehlgh ttnl
Vcfalty, of which he Is a trustee, nnd
from which ho )iolds tho honorary degree
of doctor of engineering, Schwab told
nbout playing on the links nt Whlto Sul
phur Springs last winter.
"1 was doing my direst. Ono shot I
missed the ball altogether. On tho noxt
I rnlsed It-nnd also a great lot of grass
nnd earth. 'Honest Injun,' I said to tho
enddy, 'did you ever see worse golf thnn
this?'
" 'Honest Injun, Mr. Schwab.' replied
the boy dli-gustedly, 'I never did.' "
There Is a little whlto wooden shack to
the right of tho 13th hole nt tho lion Air
Country Club. It Is somo 30 yards from
the tee and Is Used as sleeping quarters
for the Italian workmen on tho courso. It
ls In direct line of nil sliced shots and l
wabbling on Its pins.
To -windward, or rather shotward, thoro
Is not a plnnk in the wnlls that Is not
badly bntlercd nnd splintered. Pome day
a ball will take the shack In a vital
spot and then It Is felt It will fall, after
the ceaseless bombnrdment that It has
undergone, llko a pack of cards.
Many stories nro told of life In tho
shack. A ball onco pierced the heavy
wire netting over the window and scram
bled a basket of oggs standing on tho
mantelpiece As thore was nobody home
and the door was opon, tho plnycr amused
himself trying o get out. He stood on
a chnlr and tried to bounce his ball to
tho floor and out tho door. But ho broke
three moro eggs and tho ball rolled under
the bed. So ho crawled under and knocked
tho ball out behind tho coal scuttle. From
there ho got over an old shoo to the mid
dle of tho room nnd with his mashic ran
me nan out on to the plaxza. Ho took ,
his brassle and had a long ball from i
thoro down the fnlrwny. Since this expe
rlenco ho Is working on tho Idea of n .
vacuum club, to bo narked like a vacuum
cleaner and to be used In mean places.
The dangers of young birds loafing on
aortal street corners was demonstrated
again last week. A lnrgo black crow
stepped off tho curb, so to speak, to grab
at a Dug m tno region over the wood
burji course. .
Charles Qrecn got excited over a brassle
shot and sont an express ball down tho
lino. 'Tore!" he yelled, but the bird
failed to hear nhd came to earth In a
burst of feather with a despairing squawk
Tho bird was laid to rest 'noath tho sands
of a neighboring bunker. Green got an
othor "bird" the samo day, but It waB a
much prettier one, ho says.
Among tho most enthusiastic golfing
members of the Merlon Cricket Club is
one-armed "W. M. Swain. He plays nt
every opportunity and Is able to trim a
great many of his moro fortunato fellow
mombcrs. Ills putting ls very fine and his
manhle shots deadly. With the wood ho
la necessarily short, but is straight. Ho
uses a bhort shaft and brings his left
arm straight back without bending tho
elbow, Swain also drives his own car.

UMPIRES FOR MATCHES
Tho unselfish devotion to tho Interests
of lawn tennis on tho part of n group of
local players alone made posslblo the
first junior clay court championship of
Philadelphia, which Is in progress on the
courts nt the Cynwyd Club.
Therein do the tennis players of this
city differ from tho golfors. The Junior
golf championship of Philadelphia has
been n fixture on tho local golf associa
tion's calendar for the last two years, yet
tho only golfers who have evidenced any
Interest In the event arc the association
officials, who have unselfishly given of
their time and onergy toward the success
of the tourney
Tho local players who fostered the Ed
ward Bok Trophy tournament aro not the
only ones who are Interested In the event
at Cynwyd. Yesterday, both morning and
afternoon, many older players were on
hand to offer advice and encouragement
to tho youngsters, Every match had nn
umpire, nnd after they were concluded
It was not unusual for tho umpire to have
both players under his wing, giving them
valuable hints as to the proper method
of making a particular stroke.
Yestorday W. P. Itowland, of Belfleld,
was tho official In charge. Today Dr. P.
B. Hawk, of Merlon, tho man who sug
geated tho holding of the national clay
court championship, ls boBs. Tho officials
for the rcat of tho week nre Joseph M.
Jennings, of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, who so successfully ran the wom
en's national championship last May; A,
A, Capellc, Wilmington Country Club;
Paul W. Gibbons, Woodbury, and C. N
Beard, Cynwyd.
.
It Is unusual, to say the least, to see
a youngstor of 8 years playing In a tennla
tournament; But Btuart Valentine, a
member of the famous cricket family of
that name, played yesterday. Further
more, he showed a variety of strokes and
ease of Jexecution that marked him as a
comer.

CRITICISM OF GALLAGHER
Tho Gcrmantown Boys' Club ls tha only
athletic organization which has won tho
perpetual trophy of tho Middle Atlantic
Association twice. This trophy was first
put up for competition In 1010 and waa
won that year by Shannhan with a
total of 2t points. The trophy will bo
contested for nt the championship games
on Labor Day. Those games will be
under the auspices of the Mcadowbrook
Club, which inaurcs their success.
Tho games will be conducted on the
Central High School field. In 1911 the
Pittsburgh A. A. won tho championship
trophy with 27 points; in 1912 the Aquinas
Club won it with 21 points and In 10TJ
Germantown Boys' Club won It with 30
points. Last year Germantown Boys'
Club totaled tho enormous number of 57
points nnd quite naturally they won.
Invitations have been extended to every
pood athlete In America to compete In tho
special events in these games, but so far
no ono has accepted. Taber has notified
tho management that he will not run
and "Ted" Meredith has not Informed
the club of his Intention. Entries for
those games must be made thla week.
Borne unsportsmanlike conduct was
shown at the Shanahan annual games
held on the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M.
C. A. field, 41th street and Parkslde ave
nue, last Saturday,
Johnnie Gallagher, winner of seventh
placo in the last Olympic marathon, and
hero In hundreds of contests fn this city
and others, was so discouraged that he
could hardly run his race. Gallagher
started in the three-mile open event, nnd
was scratch. When he made the first lap
past tho grandstand cries ot "Hey, you
yellow I" "Come on, boys, beat him; he's
a quitter," and other calls made it de
cidedly unpleasant for the great athlete
and others.
Gallagher may be yellow, he may be
anything the spectator call him, but It Is
scarcely fair to give vent to such harsh
opinion at a big open meet. It la a safe
bet that there was not one of the hooting
crowd who had a thing against him.
Gallagher hus had much to do with
popularlting sport In Philadelphia, par
ticularly distance running. He ha won
tho national flve-mlla distance title. Ho
turned that trick nicely at Pittsburgh sev
eral year ago and against the best field
In the country. That doesn't spund yel
low. He has won hundreds ot other dis
tance. Is there any man living who can finish
a five-mile grind and against tho Dest
and yet be called tlmtdT Doesn't It take
the most grueling effort mental and
physical to come through, such a dis
tance, particularly when one hits It up at
a 25-mlnuto clip! Will a man who meets
tho best runners In the world In the full
fledged Marathon (23 miles SSS yarda) show
the white featherT Gallagher wa sev
enth In the Olympic Marathon held at
Stockholm, and but for an unforeseen
accident probably would have won that
race. An athlete isn't always fit, and
certainly he cannot be expected to finish
If hU physical condition I not right A
man who 1 out of training cannot be
asked to run a hard, true race. This I
Gallagher's fault it I true, but he should
not be called a. u.iltter simply because he

grow, and It would bo no great surprise
If Manager Moran would forget himself
one of these days In tho near future and
admit that the Phils' look good for a
ponnnnt. Three victories out of four
games played with tho Cubs, while the
pesky Reds were trouncing Brooklyn two
out of three, has given the Phillies a
lead of two and a half games on the
Dodgers, with prospects of Increasing it.
If Eppa Rlxey runs true to form today,
the Cubs will be beaten again, as Bresna
hnn's team ls In & badly demoralized con
dition at the present time. Rtxey has
always been effective ngnlnst Chicago,
nnd his two defeats at the hands ot the
Cubs this season havo been due to light
hitting by the Phils, as the big southpaw
tnlrled great ball In each contest.
With the Phillies showing a great Im
provement In batting thero Is every ren
son to believe that they will manage to
gather three runs this afternoon, which
should be nearly enough to win If Rlxey
Is In his usual form,
Manager Bresnahan Intends to use
Jimmy Lavender against the lenders this
nfternoon, and Jimmy will hove to be
better thnn he generally Is against Mora's
men to get nwdy with a victory. In the
past Lavender has been batted hard by
the Phils, and with the team hitting
Moron looks for another victory.
The Phillies are looking forward to tho
series with the Reds, who havo been
going at a dizzy clip for more than two
wcoks, and Alexander the Great will bo
Baved for tho opening game of Wednes
day's double-header, while AI Demaree
will be used In the second game, accord
ing to Manager Moran's present plans.
The Phils foel that they must trounce the
Rods to Increase their lead, while It is
certain that HerzogB men will light the
Phils to the finish, as they nre looking
forward to a finish In the first division.

PURSUED BY ANGRY BOATMEN
Alexander Washington Lincoln Selkirk Shies at the Pul-

Saturday Upsets at Stone Harbor
SELLY'S KESOLVE
'a pwine to t hnckicorxft forevtr,
Amonp f ffi' fnlltr palt ah lab so icell.
And if ever I'tt arm alone a riMier,
Aw hopet I'tt Hind pigUcatti.
No longer does the sun shine for Alex
ander Washington Lincoln Selkirk, a
"gem'men" on the Schuylkill River.
Sclly, as he la fnmlllnry called, went
bathing the other afternoon oft one of
tho river mntorbont club floats. He let
out lusty yells as he struck tho chilly
nnd muddy waters of tho upper Schuyl
kill. Then he permitted himself to be
dragged out of the water apparently un
conscious, while his "bes' gnl" screamed,
women fainted nnd men made n dive for
telephones to summon medical nssletanco.
The life savers got n pulmotor.
Socrclty Selkirk was enjoying It all, but
ho "dasscnt" show It. However, when he
thought nil the rescuers hod their heads
turned, ho slyly pecked out of one eye.
With thnt squint cams visions of horrible
death by a mutilating machine. Like n
ftartlod Jackrnbblt Alexander Washing
ton LIncotn Selkirk was up and off
through the bushes ns though the devil
and nil his imps were nftcr him.
Tho crowd, finding Itself hoaxed start
ed out In mnd pursuit of the flying darky.
Llko nn I experienced sprinter Monsieur
A. W. L. Selkirk burned up nil his energy
early. With calculating dlstnnce men In
his wake, Selkirk wns soon overtaken.
When orncred Solly wns the most fright
ened dnrky In tho world, He actually
looked white.
"Aw, lemmo gol Lomme gol Aw tel'
yuh. Lemmo gol I ain't done nuthln' to
yo'nll. Faw mercy's sake, lemme go,
posthaste. I'se got an lmpo'tant business
'ngngemont. It wus only mah little Joko.
"You'so all ain't gwlne to operate on
me. Is yuh?" pleaded tho now thoroughly
frightened negro aa ho formed a mental
picture of that dreadful something back
or. tho landing stnge.
"I'se cured. If ah lives to bo as old as
Mcethoosclum, up goes ma hand that ah
neer, so help me Bob, ever will take
anuthcr motlon-plcturo plungo. Awe llg
gered Angelina would rave ovuh me, but
did yuh notls that doggoned nigger's ani
mation? She was exuberated. Shhe act
shlclly smiled, unless ah specifies wrong.
Ynssir, I'bo cured. I'se glad I'se 'live."
In the futuro Mr. A. W. Selkirk, Esq.,
probably will select his own place to "pull
that drowning stuff."
Tho Regatta Commlttco of the Key

Those Poor Old Phils,
How Rotten They Arel
The Phils don't lead in batting
And in fielding they are low;
The outfield don't amount to much
And the infield's awful slow.
Tt's said they cannot sacrifice
And to steal a base they're lame.
A'lenhcs say they do not know
The fine points of the game.
The catching seems 'bout up to par
And thopitching only fair.

For the pennant they're not

Their leader is a novice A
And the team they cannot hit.
They ll surely crack before long
Lest they ginger up a bit.
The talk is all on the Boston Braves,
Pittsburgh and the Cubs,
,,Mln and ihe Ncw york Giants
While the Phils are classed as
Dubs.
But pipe the standing of the teams,
Cock up your ears and smile,
AnS,V0U. win 8ce the Phillies are
The flagstaff of the pile.
