The Joys and Sorrows of Sanctum Sanctorum of Team
Described by Famous Phillies' Pitcher Effort
and Sincerity of Purpose Count Most
By GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER
Orwte.t fla.etall rilehrr In the WgtTto;ttnt,V of the Philadelphia National. I
(ARTICLE III.)
Frequently I nm nsked to tell what
actually linrpcna on tho players' bench
In tho comae of n, bnsebnll pnme, 1 regret
that I cannot tell.
The little exchanges
ot wit, the serious
conferences, tho oc
casional spats (for
even tho best of
friends clash occa
sionally In tho heat
of tho battle), and
the words of pralso
o r condemnation
from the manager
arc private, and
must bo kept so.
No member of n.
secret orcanlsatlon
ALKXANI3CR
guards more zealously what tnUes place
In his lodgo room than docs the veteran
ballplayer the sayings and doings on tho
bench.
However, there aro a few things that I
may tell you which will prove of somo
Interest, and at tho same time I will not
be telling tales out of school.
The general Idea seems to prevail that
the ball club forms Itself Into a con
demnation body to Jump on tho player
who strikes out, mnltrs an error, or in
some way does that which he should not
do. That Is not so, ot least In the ma
jority of clubs, I am nulto sure.
If a hard-working player goes to tho
plate, takes healthy swings ut balls that
arc over and falls to hit one, he more
often gets sympathy than censure when
he reaches tho bench. A veteran will
probably say: "That's all right, my boy;
ho fooled mo on that hook the last tlmo
I was up. Wtitch him next tlmo and let
It pats. Lay for that fast one. Ho don't
put a thing on It." And tho manager
probably will give him a slap on tho back
and tell him to "go and get him the next
time up, son."
If an lnflelder goes after a hard hit
grounder and boots It or throws It wild
to first, or an outfielder misjudges a fly
ball and then drops It, ho will get sym
pathy nlno times out of ten. "We all do
It now and then, pal," some fellow will
whisper In his ear. Eveh If tho mlacuo
let In a couple- of runs and gave the op
posing team a lead, the pitcher who is
hurt most by the slip, If he's tho right
sort and has been through tho fire, prob
ably will say something to let the offen
der know that ho doesn't hold tho error
ngnlni-t him; that ho knows It was un
avpldable. Now nil that Is true of tho ball player
iho tries; who has his heart In his work
and feels liko butting his head against
the concrete wall of tho grandstand every
tlmo he falls to get a hit In n Pinch or
makes a costly error.
On the other hand, if the players on
tho bench know that one of their number
Is not trying and that he docs not worry
when ho falls to deliver, then they Jump
him In unison. You can tell pretty nearly
when a man Is playing mechanical ball
and thinking only of the let and lath.
when his pay checks aro due. And that
kind of a man doesn't deserve sympathy;
. he doesn't get It, cither.
v THE UNPARDONAHLE SIN.
' There Is one player who Is bound to
fet his bumps pretty regularly, and
Hist Is What wo call a "bonehcad." Borne
baseball .alu-.verfl - refuse 'to'keep "their1
heads up and think. They will make a
rlp-roarlng hit and then try to steal
second on tho flrst ball pitched, although
It Is evident that the catcher Is on and
Is going to call for a waste ball. That Is
one of the least of their transgressions.
Well, tho "bonehead" seems to expect
censure from IiIb mates, ns n general
rule, and ho gets It good and plenty.
The ball players figure that by pounding
at him day after day they may finally
drlvo some baseball brains Into his head.
How far they go depends upon how
much he will stand. They aro careful
SALT WATERS TEEM WITH FISH
OF ALL KINDS; BASS ARE COMING
Great Catches Made in Every Line During Last Week.
Indications for Big Season in Channel and. Striped
Bass Notes About the Anglers
By DR. S. H.
Last week was the banner season for
salt water anglers. Outside of tho surf
man, who devotes his tlmo to the eluslvo
channel bass, all varieties ot salt water
anglers have had their 'hearts gladdened
with fine catches.
The bays, inlets and slues along tho
Jersey coast are teeming with food of
all varieties. Clams, shrimp, muscles and
crabs are abundant, and mullots have
made their appearance at least three
weeks earlier than heretofore. This prom
ises an early run ot striped and chan
nel bass, as well as tho great tide-runners
or yellow-bellied weakflBh that run
as high as 10 pounds.
From the fisherman who Is satisfied
with his one-day vocation at Anglesea
or Somers Point to the scientific angler
who hits the bay with a cotton thread
and a fresh-water bass outfit all have
been well satisfied with their catches.
Likewise Is this condition true farther
north. Market fishermen along the Mas
sachusetts coast havp had the largest
catch in recent years. One day's catch
would have supplied each inhabitant of
the State of Massachusetts with a pound
of fish.
Dr. Charles Bartlnei of Philadelphia, Is
dally hitting the surf fishing at the point
of bench at Ocean City and has been well
rewarded with good catches.
While fishing last week in the Egg Har
bor Inlet Warren Allen and Arthur Hop
wood, of Philadelphia, landed 86 kings
and five WueflBh In one day's outing.
W F. Lodgo, Jr., of Philadelphia, had
an exciting experience while fishing last
tteek off I0th street in the bay at Ocean
City for weakflsh. He hooked into a 75
pound cow-mouthed ray. After a severe
battle ho brought this dangerous fish to
gaff.
H. A. Wlilriifleld. a veteran angler ot
Philadelphia, Is having some splendid fish
"B Jn Italnbow channel. His largest fish
for the week are 4-pound, 4H-Ptu"(1 and
6V4 pound weakflsh and a number of
smaller kings and weakflsh. Wednesday
b Piloted his friends, the Bav. M. Bonner
and Mr. Harris, of Philadelphia, for a
pleasant day's fishing. '
- Bamuel J. Ilugal, of Philadelphia, caught
a 25J4-ounce klngneh while surf fishing at
Ocean City.
Bert Stretch, of Somers Point, knows
where to hit tho bluelteh outside. One
day last week his catch numbered SO
Wues. one of which weighed five pounds.
William J. Carrol, of Philadelphia, while
fishing off the club pier at Ocean City,
caught a weakflsh we' hlr two pounds
and three ounces.
Charles fiteelman, of 8omers Point, of
the, yacht Helen, is having wonderful
catches of seabats and porgles at tho
banks,
W w Gibson, of Philadelphia, caught
WH-fiUnco weakflsh off the club pltr
in... . I. , i . . t somers
TS1SS55ffi; caught
not to exceed tho limit of his endurance,
for nothing will put a ball club on tho
blink quicker than a "crab" who nets
soro and starts Internal dissension.
Occasionally a veteran will pull a
bono" I have pulled several myself,
I m frco to admit. Then everybody from
the manager down to the bat boy Jumps
on him. He probably goes back at them
a little at first, but tho storm soon quiets
down and later everybody has a good
laugh about It and they kid the life out
of "' Vct w'" was guilty of the "bone."
Then thcro Is the player who always
has an nllbl. If ho Btrlkcs out, ho blames
It on the umpire, or his bat slipped or tho
sun was reflected into his eyes from a
window, or the crowd In tho bleachers In
terfered with his vision. If ho messes up
a grounder, the ball hit a pebble or took
a bad hop. The fellow with tho alibi
doesn't get away with It very long.
Another fellow who doesn't got sym
pathy is the one with that "I don't caro"
demeanor. Wo are out there working to
win ball games because we want to win
them and because tho team that wins tho
most Rets Into tho world's series. And
If a player makes, a serious bull In a tight
ku.iiu una ines 10 laugn it on, he gets
his good nnd nroner. and tho flrat nn in
Jump on htm Is tho manager, as a rule.
After my flvo seasons ns a big leaguer
I can honestly any that I don't mind the
cenauro of the manager or the men on
the bench; that Is, It doesn't make me
angry with any of them. When I mako
n bad mistake I expect to bo Jawed for
It, and I'm kicking myself so hard that
I don't mind what anybody else says to
ine, But the one thing that ccts mv Eont.
and gets It right. Is walking to the bench,
after I have erred In some manner.
By way of Illustration, suppose thcro
Is a man on third and two out. Two
hitters are coming up who are frco
swingers nnd are likely to hit anything
you shoot up n mile. You walk them
purposely, figuring on getting' tho next
batsman, who doesn't amount to much
with the stick. But the opposing man
ager "crosses you" and puts In a pinch
batsman who slams the ball to centre
field for two bases and drives In three
runs. Say, after you have retired the
side, the walk from tho pitcher's box to
the bench Is at least CO miles. I have
walked It several times, and I am in n
position to Judge the distance rather well.
A TENSE MOMENT
You know that evory man, woman and
child In the grandstand and bleachers
who was rooting for your club Is calling
you harsh names. Those who favor the
opposing team aro guying you. You are
conscious of every step you take and tho
bench seems to get farther away all the
time.
I don't know what happens on the
benches of other ball clubs, but I guess
they aro all about the same. They do
some "Jawing" when tho game Is on.
naturally, but when it Is ended tho play
ers form one happy family that Is, those
on the real clubs. Tho fellow who would
carry a bench argument with him to the
clubhouse or the hotel would not last long
with a club. If a "crab" of that typo
were permitted to go along day after day
without being curbed, he soon would put
the best ball club In tho world on the
"blink" completely.
The Phillies pull together splendidly nnd
that t. why they have Jjepn in tho -battle
all year. There are more words of praise
than of censure spoken on our bench.
From tho manager down to the bat boy,
wo can "ride" a player when ho needs It,
but when a club is fighting and doing its
best every minute, thcro is seldom oc
casion for condemnation.
To sit on a big league baseball bench
Is an education to a man. It teache'hlm
the golden rule, and it also teacl)ts him
to accept criticism or praise' -without
"losing his head." In later years my
happiest recollections of my big league
baseball days will bo of the true friend
ships formed on the Phillies' bench.

too heavy to handle.
W. Nelson Mayhow and family, of Mt,
Airy. Pa , have been enjoying the surf
fishing at Ocean City. Their catch for
the last month Is 278 kings, weakflsh and
flounders. ....

Moran's Men Aim for Good Lend Be
fore Final Swing Around
tho Circuit
Four In n row from tho Iteds Is the
aim of tho league-leading Phillies.
Whllo Mornn's men still refuse to pre
dict tho winning of tho pennant, It Is
becoming more nppnrent every dny that
tho players really feel auro that no tenm
In tho league can overhaul them, and
they hope to continue tho present winning
Bticnk until It Is tlmo to start for tho
final swing around tho circuit.
Mnnagcr Moran has not decided upon
his pitcher for tho final game with tho
Iteds, nnd Intends to Warm up both Mc
Quillan and nixcy before making his
selection. McQuillan nnd nixcy nppcar
to bo In splendid form nnd Moran is
confident that either can trim tho Iteds,'
who havo lost a great deal of tho fight
ing spirit and ginger that was so no
ticeable In the double-header on Wed
nesday. The Beds' pitching selection Is much
of n mystery, as llcrzog's staff Is In bad
ahnpe, but It Is likely that Fred Toney
will try to stop the Phils. Toney has
beaten tho leaders twice this season and,
as ho has won five consecutive games,
tho Phillies are likely to havo a hard

and final rounds In singles and challenge

Thcro Is considerable doubt expressed
In many quarters over the playing of
the challenge round In doubles, between
Maurlco McLoughlln and T. C. Bundy,
holders, and C. J. Griffin and W. M.
Johnston, challengers. Bundy did not
come east for the Southampton tourna
ment, ns expected, and several of the
Pacific Coast contingent fear that he will
be unable to get away from Los Angeles.
Bundy's absence would be unfortunate,
since lovers of doubles are counting on
tho four Western stars to stage the most
brilliantly played match of a decade.
William Johnston, of San Francisco,
Is another crack who should not bo over
looked In picking winners of tho singles
crown. Against Teddy Pell In tho South
ampton tournament yesterday Johnston's
foim rivaled that of the peerless Mc
Loughlln ot his best.
The team match between Cynwyd and
Stenton at Cynwyd yesterday, despite
the fact that tho Stenton bunch were
unrecognizable as such, proved easy foi
tho homo crowd. Vice President A, L.
Hosklns, of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association, threw In his
lot with Stenton, along with Arch Cap
pelle, of Wilmington. And the man
handling they received was something
awful.
C. N. Beard, of Cynwyd, secured ample
revenge from L. B. Edwards, reversing
the verdict of their previous meeting,
Al Hosklns figured in two titanic strug
gles. In both his matches Hosklns was
on the winning aide of a deuce set that
went IS games. In singles, playing Al
bert Cross, Hosklns took the opener
and then lost two straight. Cross pulled
tho match out of tho fire in the middle
set by winning six Btralght games after
Hosklns led nt 3-0. Against Cross and
Carter, In doubles, Hosklns nnd Hanna
did not prevail In the first set until
darkness had set In, nnd the match re
mained unfinished.

TODAY'S SCHEDULE.
Washington is. IndlanapolK
St LquIb plays the winner.
The St. Louis ball club drew the bye
in today's championship baseball sched
ule of the International Typographical
Union's elimination tournament.
Today's interest in the contests is far
nbovo that shown during tho early part
of the week, and one of the biggest
crowds of the week la expected to fill
the grandstand and bleachers nt the
drawbridge & Clothier nthletlc grounds.
St. Louis will match their skill of tho
national game with tho Indiana boys,
nnd, as both clubs have played their op
ponents to a standstill during tho whole
week's stand, a game with plenty of
"pep" should result. St. Louis trimmed
Cincinnati yesterday and won out by a.
few runs to spare.
The general all-around teamwork, of
the Indianapolis nine is worthy of men
tioning, for they aro looked upon by tho
majority of tho tourists as the probable
winner of the Herrmann trophy cham
pionship emblem. In their fray with
St. Paul in the semifinal round they col
lected seven hits, nnd they all came when
they were needed. For four straight In
nings Lefty Kwald. of the St. Paullans,
held them down without a single safety
yesterday. They got to him In the next
frame, however, and walloped out four
hits, which counted for as many runs.

PENN'S FOOTBALL CHANCES AIDED
BY FINE FRESHMAN MATERIAL
Backfield, Weakest Point in Last Year's Play, Will Be
Materially Strengthened Berry and Dorizas Ex
pected to Add Power to Attack and Defense
Ten days In advance of tho begin
ning of preliminary practice, football
prospects ot tho University of Pennsyl
vania look rosy enough. How they mate
rialise will depend upon tho usual number
of "Ifs," The disposition of tho coaching
problem Is the work of the best football
brains Pennsylvania possesses, past and
present.
If the new coaching staff fnlls, the
Quakers will not know where to turn
next. The materlnl left over from last
year, coupled with that available from
last year's freshman class, should give
n squad which for weight and ability
centals any of tho last 10 years. The
"It" hero depends upon how tho new and
tho old men, too, hnvc come through the
last year In a scholastic sense.
One of tho weaknesses of Pennsylvania's
team last year was that the backllcld was
mado up of men who for the most pnrt
were both Inexperienced and below the
average In football skill.
Nearly nil of last year's back field reg
ulnrs havo been graduated or left the
University, so that this year's hack field
will bo nlmoBt entirely new. Merrill and
Murdock nlternated nt quarterback, al
though Merrill played tho position most
of the time. Ho has been graduated.
J Of tho other backs, Avery has been grad-
uaieu nnu mouet nns nii ine university.
Rockufeller and Wray are still available,
nnd so Is Matthews, who did most of the
drop-kicking.
It Is a snfo wnger that the Quakers will
start tho back Held with a clean slate. In
which members of last year's freshman
nnd scrub elevens will havo first con
sideration. It was well known lnst year
that the freshman team, particularly ns
to tho backs, was superior to tho varsity.
First consideration undoubtedly will be
given to Howard Horry, who has all the
earmarks ot n. wonderful player.
Berry has all-nround cleverness of the
Tim Thorno type. KverythlnB he does In
an athletic sense he does extremely well.
As n member of tho scrub team last year
ho wns the best football player that
stepped on Franklin Field. Whero he
will bo tried this year has not been de
termined. He played quarterback on the
scrub team, but If Bell or Grant can make
good In this position Berry will probably
be tried out nB a halfback, where his
dodging, speed and llne-plunglng ability
can be better utilized. Berry weighs less
than 160 pounds, but he can do more with
his weight titan most men of ITS pounds.
In running through a broken field he is
the equnl of ex-Cnptaln Roy Mercer.
Both Bell and Orant, who nlternated at
quarterback on the freshman team last
year, will get a thorough try-out hero on
the varsity. Bell Is handicapped by lack
of weight, but he Is a clever field general
and an unusually promising drop kicker.
better under fire than any man on last
year's varsity.
Both Welsh and Qulgley are well
thought of for back field positions be
cause of the work they did on the fresh
man team. Of last year's varsity backs,
Matthews and Wray look tho best. Mat
thews Is a 200-pounder and a very gooa
drop kicker. His weakness is lack or
speed and defensive play.
There were four fair ends last year.
Seelbach and Koons havo been graduated,
but Hopkins and Urquhart are still avail
able. The latter two were good men to
catch forward posses and they wero
speedy. But they were hardly In the
ATHLETICS IN WINDY
CITY FOR LAST SERIES
Sheehan to Hurl Against Faber.
Chicago Fans Are Pennant-Mad
CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 27.-The Athletics
arrived here this morning from St. Louis,
whero they had a dlastrous series with
the Browns. Connlo Mack was besieged
upon his arrival to tell something of tho
rumored deal In which Mclnnls goes to
tho Missouri metropolis. Tho one-time
pennant producer, however, would only
i ay that Mclnnls was at home, with his
mother, who Is ill.
Sheehan Is scheduled to do tho pitching
this afternoon in the opening game of the
series against Faber. MoAvoy and Schalk
will do the receiving.
As this series marks the final for the
Mnckmcn here this season, It is likely
that there will be a large crowd, in spite
of the lowly position of the visitors.
Local fans believe that Clnrenco nowland
will be able, at the ninth hour, to win
the necessary games to overcome the
lead of Detroit and tho Red Sox, hence
every effort will bo made to advance at
tho expense of the Athletics.

same class with Stack and Mll!rr, lh
freshmen wihg men.
Stack, In particular, wns a wonderful
man to snatch forward passes out of the
air, and ho was ft good defensive player
nnd could run with tho ball. Miller, on
tho other end. Is a brother of ex-Captain
Allle Miller, but carried 23 pounds mor.
weight than his brother possesed. An
other freshman end of great promise la
Crane, high Jumper. The latter played
football only a little while, but lie made
a good Impression,
Tho conches' most difricult problem will
be to develop a lino from tackle to
tackle to support properly the ends and
backs.
In tho line the most severe loss will
be that of ex-CAptaln Journeay nt cen
tre. Journeay dovelopcd from a guard
Into a centre ot nll-Ahierlcan calibre al
most over night. Norwold played tackle,
guard and centre nt various times last
year, but ho wns continually handicapped
by Injuries.
The coaches do not know whether
not he will be back this year. If ho
returns, ho will get a chance at his old
position. Another man who will be tried
out again is Borle, who opened tho sea
son -at that position. Borle's handicap
was lack of wcght. Ho rowed last spring
and should bo heavier this fall.
At tho guards Wltherow will bo avail
oble If ho returns, but there is some
doubt on this point. He hns ptenty of
weight, but never showed enough fight
to please the coaches. Mike Dorizas, tho
Greek sthrong man, will be eligible, nnd
with his year's experience may make
good, Last year was his first at foot
ball, and he did unusually well for so
groen a man.
Captain Harris will play ono of the
lacklo positions. He and Journeay formed
about the only strong points In tho
Quaker lino last fall. Harris has been
away at a camp In the mountains all sum
mer and should report In the best physi
cal condition of his career.
The coaches had hoped that Peoples,
ot last years's freshman team, would be
available for one of tho tackles, but ad
vance information. Is that he has
"flunked" and will havo to repeat his
year. Tho chances are that Matthews
may be tried out at one of the' line po
sltlons If ho is not needed in the back
field. Then there Is Ross, of the fresh
man team, who played both in tho line
and backfield.
The situation, therefore, is that the
Quakers have unusually good material
for the backfield and the ends, with two
good lino men and several other for
wnrds of considerable promise. With
Dr. Charles Wharton in charge of tho
line men the weak points there ought to
be strengthened.
What is worrying the coaches more
than anything else 1b that they have
scheduled bo many hard games for Octo
ber. Five games will bo played in that
month.
Franklin and Marshall, whose team as
tonished the college world last year by
beating the Quakers, comes on October
,2. A week later comes the Penn State
team and then the Navy at Annapolis.
The game which is providing thd most
worry is that with Pittsburgh here on
October 23. Pittsburgh is a new oppo
nent, and what makes it worse is that It
is coached by Glenn Warner. On Octo
ber 30 comes Lafayette, always a hard
game. ,
Big Series for Logan Square
Manager William Faulkner, of the Logan
Snuare baseball team, returned to this city
last, "night from a trip along the Atlantic
coast resorts. Tho popular manager has more
games on his hooks than the average major
league club. He haa been ottered series from
almoct every club along the shores. Ills
team recently attracted the largest trowd

request of the patrons of that resort, linn,
