PHILS VS. BOSTON IN BATTLE OP GAMENESS "A PENNANT AND A PENANCE," BIT VAN LOA

j
PHILS' HEAVY ARTILLERY REVIVES
FANS' HOPES, BUT WATCH BOSTON
Long Hits Which Won Yesterday Will Not Count so
Heavily on Road Base Running and Work of
Chalmers Bright Features of Giant's Game
The return home brought the Phillies back Into hitting form, And once ngaln
the league leaders slammed tho ball against the fences. As a .result, the Giants
never had a chance to win the opening game of the last series before the much
feared Western trip. Whllo tho Thllllcs hit tho ball hard and moved around the
bancs In excellent style, tho fans should not becomo too enthusiastic, as It must be
remembered that the gamo was such that their mettle could not be tested.
With Boston coming fast, It Is necessary for the Phillies to hit even better
than they did yesterday, as three of tho four extra-base hits which clinched the
Victory In tho first Inning were on drives that probably would have been easy
outs on a larger field, although all of them were hard-driven balls.
Phillies' Bnso Running Best Feature of Offensive Work
Tho most Impressive thing about tho work of the Phils was the way they
took chances on tho bases. If they would do moro of the same style of offensive
play on tho road, the lack of hitting. In a measure, would be counterbalanced.
Teams that tako chances wth pennants. Invariably they oro called lucky, but
they aro "lucky" only becauso they forco the "breaks." Yesterday the Phillies
forced tho "breaks," and not onco did tho chance fall.
Chalmers' brilliant pitching was another Joy of the homo-coming. Manager
Moran has been looking for ono twlrler who can stand a lot of work and at the
same time twirl consistently brilliant ball, and to dato every pitcher on his staff
has broken, after trying to keep step with Aloxandcr the Great.
Chalmers Looks Like Running Mate for Alexander
If Chalmers Is back In form, and there Is every reason to bellevo that ho Is,
Manager Moran has found a pitcher who can stand tho gaff and who Is also able
to work- every other day for a few weeks without feeling tho strain. When
things aro breaking right for him, Chalmers gets an Idea Into his head that ho
can't lose, and this makes him doubly hard to beat.
It might bo argued that Chalmors' last two victories were over the Giants
and that ho always had something on McGraw's team; but that cannot discount
the fact that ho had better control than ho has shown In a long time, and his
curvo ball was breaking much faster.
Throughout the season Chalmers has pitched only one really poor game. Ho
has been taken from tho mound several times after opposing teams had staged
a rally; but look over tho box ncorcs and you will see that In all but ono of his
games tho rallies were started after chances had been offered to retlro the side.
Phils at Last Hitting Behind Hard-luck Pitchers
Another good reason why Chalmers Is worthy of tho dependence that must
be placfl on him Is that, at last, the team Is giving him the support In tho field
and at the bat which he has deserved. Tcstcrday tho Phillies did more hitting
behind Chalmors than In any game tho big Now Yorker has pl-.he4 in three
years.
A continuation of tho hitting, clover work on tho bases, together with rood
twirling from Alexander and either Chalmers or one other man who can stand tho
pace, will leave tho Moranmon with llttlo to worry about In the West, despite the
fast clip at which tho Braves aro traveling.
Those Pesky Braves Still Bugaboo to Phillies
By winning yesterday, whllo the Dodgers were losing a doublo-header to the
Braves, tho Phillies' lead is Increased to two and a half games; but it Is safo to
say that the players and Manager Moran wish that the lead was not quite so
large. This strange state of affairs Is brought about because of the fact that It is
Boston that is feared most, despite Brooklyn's threo successive victories over
the Phillies.

FRED JORDAN, HEAVY,
TO PUNCH OPPONENTS
FOR LOCAL PRESTIGE
Stallings Insults Brooklyn, Then Laughs
Manager Stalllngs, of Boston, Is either desperate or absolutely convinced
that the Braves will win tho pennant. This is apparent in his selection of
pitchers for yesterday's doublo-header In Brooklyn. Tho choice of Nehf for tho
first game was expected, after tho brilliant showing mado by this lad in his recent
games but when Stalllngs sent in Barnes, the I. I. I. League recrul, to pitch
the second gome he took a great chanco. as managing a world's champion team
does not placo a man above bitter criticism from tho fans.
Stalllngs took his chanco and got away with It, as Barnes pitched great ball
jind held the Dodgers safo at all times. Had he lost. Stalllngs would have had
some explaining to do to the Boston fans. The "mlraclo man" either decided that
he must find another pitcher of class or eventually be knocks nt nf . -.,
or that he could afford to lose one game to Brooklyn and would prefer to rest
his stars.
Boston a Rowdy Bunch, but Game to tho Core
Any way one looks at it, it is becoming apparent that the world's champions
ore going to be a mighty hard team to shako off. It Is unquestionably the gamest
team in tho land. The rowdylsmand conduct of the Braves deserves nothing but
rebuke; but tho manner in which they stuck in the race after several
terrific Jolts can bring forth nothing but praise.
The gameness of the Braves is a tribute to Stalling personality. After
three straight games had been lost to the Phillies and the Braves placed soven
games from the lead, several of the players admitted that they thought tho team
was through for the season. On player In particular wna r-j . . ....
suggested that nothing be said to the "chief," because "he doesnt think we are
out of the race." no am
Phillies Can, If They Will, Outcome StalIlnBs, Crowd
But Stalllngs maintained all along that the Braves would win. Just after
the third straight defeat at the hands of tho Phillies, Stalllngs told the Evenwo

When the big tar Is prepared to start

ho will prove himself a far better fight

Extending the Upset
So many upsets in golf anU iHwn tennis
have come of late so many champions
Travers, Oulmet McLoughlln and Wil

as world series certainties are begin
ning to exhibit yearnings for a process
known as hedging.
Tho fact that the Tanks were good

In place of peeling the Sox oft the hide,
as one naturally does these clammy days
has Jarred a certain amdunt of faith
In Boston's ability to make any cinch

favorites, but tha "foregone conclusion"
has been canned. A whirlwind romp

be ranked as the most wonderful ball

have been counted out of it and counted
back on so many occasions that further

so many turns at slipping and climbing
baok that It would be no surprise to see
all three become dizzy and drop as far
back as the compact field behind them
will permit

Boosting the winner ts an easy job;
Crowning the victor is an anoient play
Old as the plaudits for a guy named Oobb,
Edging but little from the routine way;
We might say little or we might say
much,
But here rests the answer when the yarn
is done
When raw fate gripped you with its tight
est clutch,
You came from behind and won.
They went for you from the best of fields
Uaking you battle till the sun sank low;
They gave you chances where the coward
yields,
They rushed the fighting with the first
hard blow;
They got the Jump in the opening spin,
But here rests the answer when the yarn
is done,
Bere stays the test with the count all in
you come from behind and won.

Reading this list we begin to fret;
For the painful thought ts now forced

Even WE may be beaten yet.
The citizen who wins a golf or a lawn
tennis championship after this season will
not have any one or two stars to beat
but about four times as many as the
U. 8. A. has ever known before. The

reign of the field. When such eminent
artists as McLoughlln. Williams. Travers.

It was during Todd's fourth season
with the club that he began to think
about the parsonage as a reality and not
as a dream. Four years had made few
chances in tho youngstor. His personal
standing was established! his religious
scruples were acoepted without question.
There was not a player or a baseball fan
In the country who did not know that
Kid Todd would not play on Sunday,
never had played on Sunday, and never
expected to play on Sunday. It was
known, and passed without comment
that he attended Wednesday evening
prayer meetings and Sabbath services
wherever he happened to be, and thero
was a rumor, never authenticated, that
he was in the habit of speaking in "ex
perience meetings."
"Why not?" demanded Canby. "If he
believes that way, and he's on the level
with it why not?"
It was the oily Pete MacNabb who
made the parsonage leap out of the dim
background. He had no such Intentions,
being but a blind Instrument of Provi
dence, guided by a natural affection for
his crack shortstop. This was how it
happened,
Pete MaoNabb was thrifty by nature.
He saved his money and invested it, in
order that when baseball was through
with him he might not be forced to eat
snowballs In the long, cold winters.
