Outlaw President Declares His Organization -Does Not
';Want Peace-Phillies, Upset by Lowly Giants,
in Real Test With Brooklyn
iiiluii OllfnoreC of tho Federal Lo-uc, In nn interview, says that the
Mm hew toaMreeV when organized baseball can mako peace with tho Federal
ljNHt. He states further that the Feds' absolutely refuse to give up Chicago
ana 8i Louis and will Invade New York. The statement In full follows.
"Ho truco has been declared nnd none will be declared. The time for
f-eevoe has passed. We ore perfectly able to go ahead as an Independent organ
isation and we ore going ahead, A yeaV ago evrn six months ago wo might
hav4. considered peace. But not now, We've been lighting so long that we'vo
Vetun to like this battling business And we are going to keep A up.
"Tho story Is bunk on the face of it, because It is said we had agreed to
Withdraw from Chicago and that we would not put a club (n New York. Under
circumstances would wo quit St. Louis or Chicago. We aro there to stay,
nd we'll have a team in New York Jn 1918 that will bo one of tho greatest
in the country."
Gllmore Acquires the "O. D." Denial Habit
This Is Indeed a remarkable Interview, coming from Ollmoro at this time,
and perhaps he has Joined tho class with President Thomas, of tho Cubs, tho
nian who never knows What Is going on Irt his own club. Tho Impression has
lways been that Gllmore was not a figurehead president, but evidently this
ti5 correcting.
Perhaps (he object of the interview was to throw sand In tho eyes of a
lew of the magnates who have not been taken into his confidence, but even If such
were th case It Is hard to Imagine Ollmoro saying at this time that the Feds
o not want peace. The Federals, as well as organized ball, want peace and
tfriuit have lt. In the long run It might do well not to talk too much for
publicity's sake.
renin's Only Good Game Pitched Against Phils
The Phillies yesterday went down to defeat at tho hands of tho Giants
because they could not hit Perrltt, who pitched his ono good game of tho last
month, and, as luck, would have It, It had to be against the Phils. Tho' lead
f thb Phillies was not reduced any, as tho Dodgers wero beaten by tho Braves.
The latter'a Victory enabled Stalllngs team to gain ono on tho Phillies,
although they could not advanco In position. As Boston Is tho team feared
hy the, Moranmen, the even break in New York was a severe set-back to tho
local team, The Giants had been playing poor ball until the present series, but
they seemed to brace with the coming of tho Phillies.
o
Moran's Men Seem to Be in Another Batting Slump
It is rather early to be calamity howling, particularly as the Phillies havo
kst no ground, but It seems that Moran's men havo fallen Into a batting slump
again. For some reason the Phils always go Into a batting slump after a
lnng stay on the home field that Is featured by home-run hitting. Tho players
Insist that there Is nothing to tho theory that they get out of their regular
swing In trying to hit tho short fences at homo and arc constantly uppercuttlng
the ball when they get on the road. They also Insist that the short fenco
theory, in accounting for the number of home runs, is bunk, but as the season
wears on ono must be convinced that thero Is more to it than Moran and his
men wlU admit.
Yankees Get Southern League Star
Miller, the youngster who has Just Joined the Highlanders, mado a remark
able record with the Nashville team of the Southern League. Ho closed up
his Southern Leaguo career by hitting safely In 26 consecutive games. Briscoe
Iord, the former Mackman, now managing Memphis, of the game league, says
that ho is one of the best looking youngsters he has ever seen in a minor
league: , .
A. A. U., Rank to Core, Injures Penn Star
How long will reputable athletes and the organizations they represent
tolerate tho Injustices that the Registration Committee of the Metropolitan
Association of tho A. A. U. perpetrated on Donald F. Llpplncott, the former
University of Pennsylvania track captain, when It suspended him without
warning or even, the courtesy pt a hearing on somebody's suspicion that he
had participated In a fake running race at Hlon, N. Y.?
"5V-ow develops that Llpplncott was
that the New York committee, without evldenco, suspended a bonaflde amateur,
a world and Olympic champion, with an action that accused him of crookedness
and dishonesty. .-
The least amend tho New York committee can mako is to apologize to
Llpplncott; but even that will not undo tho evil wrought by a form of legislation
that tho A. A. U, authorities are constantly resorting to, and of which they
should be ashairied.
Llpplncott lias Good Case for Libel Suit
Thp method by which the A. A. U. suspends many of Its athletes Is con
temptibly mean. Tho case of Llpplncott Is only ono of many where tho pro
cedure1 has been the same. That a man has right to a trial and that ho Is
presumed innocent "until proved guilty Is the basis of American Justice. The
A. A. U. virtually reverses this. In Llpplncott's case, on tho unsupported word
of some individual, the former" Pennsylvania captain was suspended on tho
supposition that he was a party to this fake race. And this In spite of tho
fact that ordinary Intelligence woujd haVq told the A. A. U.. authorities that
the charge could not be true, Bfnco everybody who follows track sports knew
that Llpplncott had recently suffered a complete breakdown due to a pulled
tendon and that he could not run had he wished to do so. It would havo
lteon an easy matter to have communicated with Llpplncott and learned tho
truth, but to have done this would have violated an A. A. U. precedent, which
Is to suspend first and investigate afterward.
Ono of these days some athlete will bring suit against individuals who
attempt to Injure a man's reputation, as was done In Llpplncott's case. Tho
suspension of Llpplncott and tho unsupported attack made on his Integrity
ovght to have some remedy in tho courts. Perhaps when an example is mado
ef this species of injustice through a suit for libel the A. A. U. will see fit to
reylso lis high-handed methods of dealing with Its athletes.
Are the Golf and Tennis Situations Similar?

Championship at Forest Hills, where the first of the big; three, Karl IL Behr.

The Phlladelphlons have all made a very good showing, rnuph better
than thsjir golfing; cousins, Wallace Johnson survived ono round, Craig Blddlo

McLoughlUVs victory over tho Internationalist, Fred Alexanderm, yester

another personal triumph yesterday, and It Is entirely probable that before
long the following that deserted him for Williams a year ago will be flocking
round again. This, by the way, Is McLoughlln's last championship

Johnny Evers has been suspended for five days for his conduct in Boston
tm Thursday. According to the testimony of the umpires, Evers used "dls
graceful language and his conduct was unbecoming." And yet when Evers

THE BACHELOR BENEDICT
More Excitement Than Bases Full, Two Down, Score
Tied and Two and Three in the Ninths
Of Course the Benedicts Win !
By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN
Th WorldV Moat Famous "Writer of Jlasebill Fiction
r
V.
Two hours before the tlmo set for the
opening game of tho world's series 15,000
people were Inside the park, nnd rivers
of humanity were running bank deep at
every entrance. Only the lucky holders
'of reserved seats were taking their time;
and the ticket speculators those hawk
faced, dlrty-flngered picaroons who sail
the boundless seas of public tolerance
were taking tho money In amounts suf
ficient to make their crlmo against their
fellow-cltltens that of grand larceny.
Tho entry of a baseball team upon the
field Is rarely dramatic. Tho football
players line up behind their captain and
daah out upon the gridiron at a brisk
run, every man on the team taking his
part In tho spectacular entrance. Foot
ball boys play only 8 or 10 times a sea
son, and pomp and circumstance may be
forgiven them. Baseball folk work at
their trade six and seven days a week
for months at a time, and they dribble
out upon the field as soon as they don
the riiangles. A concerted entry they
would regard as a grandstand play; and
In all spring or summer there Is no more
painful sight than the countenances of
30 or 40 baseball players lined up to the
strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner"
while the pennant creeps slowly to tho
top of the flagpole.
So, even at such an Important time, our
friends the Benedicts appeared by ones
and twos and threes. The thousands of
fortunate fas, Jammed behind ropes In
the outfield, recognized each man as he
stepped through the gate, and cheered
long and loud as If trying to drive away
doubt and drown the pessimistic tone of
the press of the country.
The Benedicts were In abad way tho
papers knew It: the fans knew It, but
would not admit It; the Benedicts them
selves knew It; and, worse than all, the
Shanghais had known It for 10 days.
Left-handed pitchers In the other league
knew to the detriment of their winning
percentages that "southpaws" were what
the Shanghai doctor ordered for his line
up; they had won their pennant against
left-handers. The team which hoped to
beat tho Shanghais must have right
handed pitchers; and three of Mace Hen
thaw's starboard fingers had gone wrong
Lowrle, Kllgore and Coons.
Lowrlo had been regarded as the hope
of the Benedicts, with Coons a"d Kllgore
to fall back upon. Lowrle had "run out on
the club," as the fans phrased It. Poor
old Davy Coons had such a sore shoulder
that there was a question whether he
would round Into shape Inside of six
months; and Kllgore had gone wrong In
September. Of the right-handers, there
remained Barry, Hemclman, and Bowen.
Barry was a good man, but wild as a
hawk. Henselman averaged one brain
storm a game; and Bowen was a young
ster who had yet to prove his wortn
against flrst-dlvtaton teams. The left
handers were In fine shape Burchard,
Hawes, and Van Burcni but the Impres
sion prevailed that to send left-handers
against the Shanghais was to court
calamity.
It was not a cheerful crowd of whlte
flanneled athletes, who grimly watched
the vliltors banging through their bat
ting practice big, tall fellows In gray
suits, who hit everything squarely on
the nose, and kept the crowd in the out
field dodging line drives.
Mace Henshaw was a game man; but
he dreaded the bell which would bring
the clubs together. Man for man, he
knew he had the better team. The
Shanghais were not particularly danger
ous against a right-hander's fast break
ball. He had counted on three heavy
guns to train upon that weakness; but
Coons was out of It, Kllgore was crip
pled, and Lowrle well, no matter what
Mace thought about him. I could not
even hint at It
The Benedict pitchers scattered out be
fore the grandatand and went to work.
Even Kllgore Joined the line. Macs
looked them over, trying to decide
whether it would be better to send In a
high-grade left-hander or a second. rate
right-hander. It was a choice of two
rlls. For three days the newspaper
men had demanded to know the prob.
able order In which the pitchers would
wprk. Mace had. not given them any
answer. Yet the decision muit soon be
made.
The Benedicts began their batting
practice. Reporters and photographers

THE EIGHTH TEE
descended upon tho field by dozens.
Would Henshaw pose with the captain
of the other club. Jerry Doollttle? Mace
would, and did; but when ho was asked
to smile, he bared his upper teeth In
what might have been a grin, but might
Just as easily have been a snarl.
"His goat's gone," Jerry reported to
his cohorts. "I thought fr a mrnuto no
wns goln' to bite me!"
The Shanghais were unllmberlng their
star pitchers. Carsey. the best man they
had; "Mel" Dnvlsson. the "sousepaw";
Cant Winter, Harry Kelly. Lew Jessen.
"Peevle" McDonald, and "Bube" Per
kins a formidable arrnv
A bell rang, and the Shanghais tripped
smartly out for preliminary practice, as
full of life nnd "pepper" as a .coop of
gamecocks.
Mace knew that th8 time had come to
make his decision. He passed slowly be
hind the line of working pitchers, and
here nnd there asked a question.
"Let me get In there," begged Van
You taw him work, didn't you, Bobf
Buren. "They can't hit this drop ball of
mine with a cricket bat!"
Old Kllgore was struggling along pain
fully. "She's considerably better today.
Mace," he said cheerfully, "I think I
can set these birds down!"
Barry called attention to his speed, and
Henselman mentioned the fact that he
"had everything." Pitchers are usually
anxious to work In a big series; each man
thinks he can do a little bit better than
his neighbor.
As Henshaw paused at the end of the
white line, a terrific roar came from cen
tre field, and epread both ways towsrd
the bleachers the sort of a cheer which
makes a ball player look up at once be
cause he knows that something unusual
Is happening or has happened.
Instead of dying away, the cheer
doubled and quadrupled, and went on
gathering volume with every second. The
bleacherites borrowed It from the men
In the outfield, and added to the commo
tion by leaping up and down and hurling
their hats In the air. It swept Into the
far wings of the grandatand, Jumped to
tho upper tier, and, rolling toward the
centre, met behind the plate In a tor
nado of sound Dowp In the press box
the reporters were standing on their
chairs and leaning over to yell Into the
ears of the telegraph operators. From
deep centre field to the very roof of the
stand, one word was flying from lip to
Up, and leaving the thunder In Iti wake
Lowrlet Lowrle! Lowrle!
A single, white-clad figure came loping
gracefull across toward the home bench
it was Bertie the Bear, the missing bride
groom. The Shanghais stopped practicing, and
stared with popping eyes until recalled
to business by Doollttle's franco elg
nals. His yells were wasted In that
whistling, roaring hurricane,
Mace Henshaw dropped quickly back
under the awning which shaded the
bench. It bad Just struck him that this
sensational Mlth-hpur appearance of his
best pitcher might carry double weight
If Poollttie believed that It had been
prearranged. From hla hir .t-
tl, he signed the Benedicts to go on
ta - ,

with their work; and those seasoned cam
paigners obeyed whether they understood
the strategy of the move or not.
Bertie arrived at the bench panting.
"Hello, Mace!" ho said. "Turn me loose
on these minor leaguers, will you?"
"Well," said tho manager, with a growl,
"you're a nlco piece of cheese, ain't
you7 What are you trying to do to this
ball club, nnywny, running out on us the
way you dldf By rights I ought to fine
you a million dollars and punch your
head besides!" he added gruffly.
"Whntocr's right. Mace," said the boy.
"Anything you say! You can hang me
If you think It's coming to me; but for
heaven's sake let me beat these fellows
first! I can trim 'em till they holler for
the police!"
The brothers by marriage looked at
each other for several seconds, and then
the older man grinned.
'TOd," said he, "I like your taste in
wives. Whero is Virginia?"
"Oh. by George!" he cried, aghast "I
forgot all about her! I told her to wait
out at the private entrance until you
sent one of the boys to fetch her lnl
Didn't havo tickets, or couldn't get 'em.
Say. Mace! Am I going to pitch or not?"
"Get out thero and warm up and I'll
look you over," said the manager.
The chief umpire paused In front of
Hcnshaw's bench.
"You put one over, didn't you. Mace?"
he asked quizzically. "A pretty slick trick,
keeping this fellow under cover and
springing him at the psychological mo
ment! He'll pitch, of course?"
"You sow him work, didn't you. Bob?"
asked tho manager of the Benedicts.
"That kid Is going to win this series for
us. or I'll buy you a nice silk hat!"
The umpire did not claim ,the hat
After the post-season scries was over,
a number of clever baseball experts
most of them hailing from Shanghalvllle
dwelt at length upon tho strategic value
of a good, healthy surprise. You will un
derstand that It was up to them to find
some excellent excuse. John L. said he

Pompadour, said It was a fluke punch'
Oscar Matthew Bat Nelson once ascribed'
a defeat to a T-bone steak. The Shang
halvllle experts; gamely recovlng from
the surprise and shock of seeing their
darlings walloped In four out of five
games, explored Into psychology and
other dark spots in order to prove that the
llth-hour return of the dangerous bride
groom was entirely responsible. They had
to say something of the kind, for the
bridegroom pitched three times, scored
two shut-outs, and won his third game
by a score of 4 to L
Tho local experts raved over Bert Low

games, ball by ball, as they -ere thrown:

tl 1 nothing remained but tho one thing,
which they did not know. They wore

Gaff Tigers Have Same Trials
By GRANTLAND RICE
The question before the house now
seems to bo about this: Can the Phillip
hold tho lead they won back In June for
another month? Can the Tigers, after
winding up lth St Louis, win a"?"
road pennant as they did In 1909, with
something like the same sort of a ball
club?
Conditions confronting tho two clubs
mentioned are not exactly the same.
Philadelphia has no opponent to beat that
Id fighting at home all this month. De
troit has. The two main Thllly rivals are
tho Braves and Superbas.
But after this week these two also
suing West, where they will confront
exactly the same conditions. But the
Tigers must play a trlflo faster on the
read than the Bed Sox play at home be
fore tlley can hope to send Ty Cobb and
Sam Crawford against Alexander, llu
dolph or Coombs some four weeks hence.
If the Phillies can maintain this lead
all the way they will furnish a battle
requiring fully as much courage ,aa that
shown by the Braves last fall. Most
people glvo all credit to the runner that
comes from behind. They havo nothing
to say for tho loader who can maintain
his lead. Yet It requires Just as rare
nerve and courage for Moran's club to
protect a scanty lead vas It did for the
Braves to cllmo rrom jasi piaco 10 ursi.
Phillies Must Feel Strain
Consider the case for a brief moment
Tho l'hllllcs, with a club ranked back In
April as a Joke, took the lead from the
start but lost It in May. They recovered
the top in June, and for nearly three
months now, with only a narrow gap be
tween them and the club In second place,
they have pounded along. All this time
they have heard the hoof beats of several
rivals within close range. All this time
they havo been struggling with the pace,
fighting oft first one aggressor and then
tho other, but at no stage have they
broken. They have slipped here and there,
but only to rally before they were caught
This takes a lot out of any club. It Is
more of a strain Ihnn that ot starting
from behind and coming on up, for thero
Is no greater nervo tonlo than to know
that you are on your way while the
other contender Is slipping. But to fight
on to the front, and then for over three
months to know that any sign of falter
ing will drop you back Is a heart breaker
of the rarest order.
Ask any golfer or any lawn tennis
player or any runner tho difference. They
will all say that the big strain comes In
seiting and maintaining the pace. And
the Phillies haven't one rival only to
beat they have two. The Superbas wero
tipped to break and drop back, as the
Pirates, the Giants and Cubs -did but
they haven't.
The Braves were counted out of It
PHILADELPHIA WOMEN GOLFERS
FIGURE IN NATIONAL TITLE PLAYi
Just as soon as the national crown Is
settled over the ears of tho new amateur
champion of the United States at De
troit more than 100 women players will
teo oft at the Onwentsla Club, Lako For
est, 111.. In an all-for-glory bout for the
women's national title.
Only seven of the star players of this
city will enter, and In this much disap
pointment has been expressed: for It Is
felt that there are at least a half dozen
more who would be Berlous contenders.
Most disappointing Is the failure of
Miss Florence McNeely to send In her
entry. Last year she survived to tho
third round and then, after a brilliant
and ding-dong battle all the way. It took
19 holes before she was finally put out of
the running by Miss Elaine Bosenthal,
a finalist, and ultra-brilliant star In
women's golf.
Tho latter was also the one who com
pleted the bean-spilling of Philadelphia's
chances when she ousted Mrs. Ronald
Barlow 1 up on the last green with a
can't-be-done putt
Another Phlladelphlan whom it had
been hoped would try her hand In the
national Joust Is Mrs. G. Henry Stetson,
of Huntingdon Valley. Though she has
played the game little more than a year,
Mrs. Stetson gave Mrs. Barlow an Inter
esting time In the finals at Shawnee this
year and has been mowing down opposi
tion in general.
Mrs. Barlow, Mrs. Clarence Vanderbeck,
who was put out by the champion last
year In the semifinals; Mrs. Caleb Fox,
Miss Eleanor Chandler, Mrs. E, IL Flt
ler are the veterans who will play this
year. Mrs, TVllUam West, Huntingdon
Valley, and Mrs. Arthur Llverfght, Phll
mont, both of whom have been showing
great golf this season, are also expected
to give a good account of themselves at
Chicago, Thirty-two wilt qualify Monday,
and there will be 18 holes of match play
each day with the finals Saturday.
Benny Sayera, alias Kaiser Ben I of
Golfdom, tore a nifty score of 70 at Bon
Air the other day. The old man is ptlll
on his exploration trip over all the
courses of Philadelphia. At first he was
backing Merlon against the Held, but now
he has retrenched and has put 'White
marsh and Huntingdon Valley to the fore,
with Pine Valley king of them all.
At tho latter place he was so engrossed
In bis game that he scarcely noticed an yr
thing else. Going to the sixth, when
Howard Perrln attempted to call his at
tention to tho beautiful scenery and view
to be had from the heights, Benny merely
looked Into the gloaming and then said.
"Whaur'a ma bar
John Crout besides picking the favor
ites In the Washington party, likes to
Jimp his mind from the game of politics
to the game of golf. Ono of his ambitions
Is to crack B0 wide open on nine holes.
Playing at Bala the other day, he was In
a fine position to do tho deed. He had
Just worked his way Into the long seventh
