to win the game, and figuring tnat It
may bo done In nn Innlner or two. ho
chooses one of his star pitchers to go
to the hill. But the runs don't come and
tho teams fight from six to nine more
Innings beforo the game Is decided, andf
then tho manager who had used his star
for relief work loses.
Tho damage Is many-fold. In the first
place, the game Is lost, and each game
counts heavily toward the finish. In tho
second place, tho star pitcher was sacri
ficed. Then again, It Is possible that
tho manager figured on using tho leading
flinger to face a touch team In the next
game, but has to send a second-string
man to the hll and loses that game, too,
The manager did not make a mistake.
Ho used good bnsebnll Judgment. He
merely stacked up against the luck of
tho gamo and It failed him.
Then there Is the possibility that any
of the teams will lose a player that Is
impopstblo to replace. The wlss man
ager tries to prepare for any emergency.
Ho keeps as many good utility men on
the btnch as the rules permit. But there
,are cogs In every machine, that virtually
aro necessary If the machine Is to turn
out Its expected amount of work.
Boston, for Instance, blamed Its poor
start on the accident which kept Evcrs
away from the team for a number of
weeks. If the Braves feel that way
about It, I suppose the mental depres
sion which follows his being Injured does
have an effect.
It Is a fact that "breaks" mltlgato
more against some clubs than they do
against others. The Boston club last
year got a lot of good lucl: and then
they got somo that was not so good.
But they kept their heads up and
fought on Just ihe same, no matter
Mhlch way tho luck went. I know
plenty of National Leaguers thought
when "Red" Smith broke his leg In the
last series of the league race at Brook
lyn that the Braves wouldn't have a
chance to capture the world's champion
ship They believed the moral effect of
losing a player who had done such bril
liant work would be fatal.
Everybody knows what did happen.
Charley Deal went In there, did his best
and the Boston club overthrew the club
that American Leaguers had boasted was
unbeatable.
I know that up to the present moment
our boys have had tho "pepper" and tho
spirit which ha overcome some "breaks"
thnt might have beet serious had we per
mitted ourselves to look back at them.
As I have snjd before. Manager Moran In
sisted we ro out on the field to win each
game as It came and think as little as
possible of tho past and the future Wo
talk over our mistakes and try to play
the game so that we don't do a wrong
thing more than once. But we have never
worried about the "breaks." As a team,
we took the luck as It was dished out
to us.
The biggest thing we have had to over
come perhaps has been the mental atti
tude of tho fans. Ask a loyal rooter for
our club one or tho kind who has been
"pulling" with the Phillies for more than
a score of years what he thinks of our
chances and he'll answer. "They sure
look good to me. but I don't know
whether they can kepp it up."
Don't get the Idea that I mean they
have not supported us. If ever a club
get more enthusiastic backing from the
homo fans than Moran's club received this
year, I don't know where It was. The
crowds have been generally good, and
that helps a club.
But In Philadelphia there' is thnt old
"walt-tlll-next-ycar" feeling that It Is
hard to overcome.
Personally and I know I speak for the
players when I say this we hav, gone
on playing our oeBt and have been con
fident that wo had a team which would
be "there" at the finish If we got
the pitching and batting. We never
have believed that we would fall to win
the pennant Just because the teams of
years gone by did not win It.
It's not the Itme for me to say that
wo will win It. I know tjjat we must get
Borne "breaks" from this time on. But
I can assure you that we are in the
fight to remain In It, and well, we have
taken some hard knocks now and then
and come up smiling and confident that
we'd get revenge.
TO PHILADELPHIA NEEDED
dais and with the backing of the club it
should soon be realized."
Some Interesting deductions on the ten
dency of design for the coming year have
been made by Ernest A. Stephens, in
"Horseless Age," following an examina
tion of the 1516 models already brought
out.
Regarding the battle between the fours
and sixes, he says the four still holds
the majority, but only by a very small
margin. At the same time, he says, the
slx-cyllnder Is not maintaining the gain
which it assumed the first part of 1915,
when the tendency of design showed that
19.1 per cent, of the total cars under con
struction were tp be six cylinders. The
percentage has dropped back after a little
more than six months to 38.23 per cent.,
which was about the position which the
slx-cllnder occupied In 1913.
INJURY TO KILLEFER
FOUND NOT SERIOUS
Specialist Declares P h i 1 s
Catcher Might Be Able
to Play Tomorrow
Bill Killefer, star catcher of the Phil
lies, Is not so badly injured as was
thought at flrat. Upon the return to this
city of the team from the disastrous
trip to New York and Brooklyn, It was
learned that Klllefer's throwing arm had
gone back on him. and that probably
he would be out of the game for some
time. It was feared that It might be for
the remainder of the season.
However, last night KIllefeT consulted
specialist, who found that the trouble
was not of such serious proportional that
it was a nerve pressure upon a muscle
in Ihe shoulder, which could be reliever
easily.
Business Manager Bhettsllne, of the
Phllllesi stated this morning that the
physician had even declared Killefer
might be able to use his arm tomorrow,
But it I Rot probable that he will bs
allowed to play for several daya, as Man
ager Moran. will go tha limit to sava his
tar catcher.

ClarkeSs resignation did -not come as n"
surprise to the followers of tho team

for tho bnscball season. His holdings In
TVInfield, Kan., have been Increasing
enormously during tho Inst few years,
and he hns decided that tho tlmo has
como when ho must pay personal atten
tion to his business Interests. He had
fondly hoped for another pennant winner
before ho had retired from 'bnseball, but
was disappointed keenly at tho downfall
of tho Buctaneors thjs year.
Clarke will remain manager until the
end of the season, when he will bid fare
well to Pittsburgh and go back to the
farm.
While here ho has brought to the
Smoky City four penmnts of the Na
tional League and one world's champion

gan to fado as an aggressive quantity.
He hasn't played for three years.

WHEN LYDIA P. FAILS, OLD GOLLUP
WILL CURE EVEN TO HICCOUGHS
Evening Ledger Gets Wireless of the Remarkable fc.
covery of J. Stanley Pearsoll Philadelphia
Women Shine in Golf Tourney at Chicago
Golf, besides being a theoretical, tanta
lizing, terrible task, also has not a few
virtues. Some play the game for worldly
reasons. Somo play for fun and some for
exercise. But few golfers look ' on the
game as n, cure-all when the family doc
tor has resigned the victim, or as the
Lydla P. Compound of all games.
But when n strange electrical cloud was
seen hovering over Philadelphia this
morning the Kvenino Lbdocr. wireless
rod harpooned It And here Is what was
found:
J, Stanley Pearsoll, of Butte, Mont., had
gone alt through the regular channels of
a victim ot tho hiccoughs. His vocal
strings and his throatal tubes were mas
saged, sprayed and ctceteraed. He took
pills and liquors. But still the hysterical
spasms twisted him at regular Intervals.
Till yesterday, so said the dispatch when
further unrolled, a friend as a last resort
Inveigled him Into a game of golf. Ho
was led unwillingly to the first tee. He
teed up his ball. His friend made a poor
shot. J. Stanley was still skeptical. He
looked at the brook at his feet and at
the heights over which he must send his
ball. A mighty hiccough rocked him to
tho heels.
"It's no use," he said, and would have
laid down his clubs. "Stay," said tha
friend J. Stanley swung. It was a
brutal ertort. Something clicked Inside
tho cough-ridden frame of Pcarsall. His
"hlc." the cause of the coughs, had
slipped back Into place. And though In
one of his worst fits, Pearsoll has not
coughed for 24 hours. Such are thy won
ders, ob golluff.
Philadelphia women golfers are show
ing the United States what they are good
for, and they nre showing some real stufT.

BY LEAP AND BOUND THE WEST
TAKES LEADERSHIP IN SPORTS
By GRANTLAND RICE
The East is not only the East. bUt the
West Is undoubtedly the West-lf not
even more so.
It has been many a shifting, crimson
moon before any one section has cleaned
up as tidily as tho West has this season
in the two playing sports golf and lawn
tennis.
We mention these aa the two playing
sports against baseball and football,
which, essentially. In so far as the major
part of the public, Is concerned, are spec
tatorlal affairs.
In the various leagues there are 10,000
ball players represented, against 6,000,000
spectators. In the larger football games
there are several thousand players repre
sented, against a million or eo specta
tors. But in golf and lawn tennis there
are more than a million player for each
ganie, against far less that number of
spectators.
Briefly, as the saying is. more people
watch baseball and football; and more
people play golf and tennis.
The West Revenged
Last season the East held all the
laurelled brows. Oulmet, from Boston,
was amateur golf cbamplon, with Will
iams, from Philadelphia, amateur lawn
tennis champion The West was no
where, minus 4. But this season the
Western sweep has been complete. In
golf tho West cleaned up in all four
leading points at Detroit cleaned up
every way there was in match, and medal
glory and in team niatCnea whera tha
two sections were thrown together. There
wasn't even a wisp of laurel for the East
to wrap around Its clammy brow.
In lawn tennis the sweep has been unl
versal. In tha first meeting ot East vs.
West the Pacific coast country won
easily at home.
Coming on to the Forest Hills cham
pionship, the West had everything stwed
before the final round, McLoughlln and
Johnston, both from California, fousnt
tha championship out with no Eastern
man around, and however the doubles
Championship terminates the West If
bound to win, there being only Western
ers registered on the book.

score, but which probably will stand for
a long time aa the woman's record of the
course. Tho fates were severe, and tw
PhllajJelphlans wer ousted in the first
day of match play.
Airs. Ltverlght fell before the shots ot
Miss Hyde. Mrs. F6x. however, had one
of her steadiest days and put out Mrs,
Mason Phelps, which was a big surprise.
Mrs. Barlow was not expected to have
better than a 60-SO chance against Miss
Marlon Holllns, but, although she won
on the last hole, when she got down a
heartrending putt, she should have won
much sooner. Mrs. Fitter was the one
disappointment of the Philadelphia con
tingent. She had an erratic day, and de
spite her strong finish, she was flv
strokes outside the charmed circle.
Mrs. Fitter has been bothered aU rea
son with her grip, and no doubt this
again caused her trouble. There were 39
entries from the OnwenUla Club, but
none qualified. Mrs. Bruce Smith led wth
103. and Miss Hbnore Palmer Wound up
with 143. All have shown much better
golf, and It was thought more would
qualify on tho home course.
The golf committee at the Frankford
Country Club has had a calculating eye
leveled on some very stretchy and lovely
looking slopes which are adjacent to the
present course there. The course now In
use Is only nine holes, and while all the
ordinary shots abound as well as- a few
mean ones, it Is felt that another nine
holes would make the going less monoto
nous. If the property in question Is obtained,
some very extraordinary holes will b
built. Added to the present holes, the
course should be one of the best in the
city. More holes should also encourage
the women members to play, for, strange
to say. they have never taken up tho
game at Frankford.

SWAYNE WINS TENNIS TITLE
Plymouth Country Club Star Defeats
Lewis in Point Pleasant Final
POINT PLEASANT. N. J.. Sept 8.
The annual fall tennis tournament at
Tolnt Pleasant has been finished, with
the exception of the men's doubles and
the consolation singles, which will be
played Sunday,
Norman W. Swayne, of the Plymouth
Country Club, Norrlstown. Pa., won froni
George S. Lewis, of the Bachelors' Club,
Washington, after four hours cf play.
When the games stood one all In the fifth
set Lewis broke his racquet, Swayne Win
ning, t games to z.
ner-up; but that as a winner Its goose
wob cooked brown before the start was
made.
The howing that the West has made H
.ccct.jr in me vivo mosr. important play
ing games Is sure to stir the East up and
to revive tho drooping spirit of the Wst
The East can now understand that It is
far from being the whole show, including
the hard, blue seats, the elephants, tnt
pink lemonade and the peanuts. In the
two-rlng circus it has drawn the smaller
ring for 1915-smalJer by a number of rode.
And the East can well be counted upon
to rise and get started again.
For the Dig Stuff
With Europe eliminated as a. competi
tor for several years, porting tnUrest
roust be maintained with Intersections
matches. Contrary to some opinion, such,
matches never breed Ill-feeling. They
are for the bet interests of tha game,
for they bring the two seotlon lor
together.
And, the East can no longr figure now
that the Wet Is not to b regarded a a
worthy rival in every way and along
every lln. Any section which ha such
