ON THE JUMP
Noted Coach, Though Yet
The Phillies continued their dash through the West by taking their third
straight .victory from Pittsburgh. Three In a row, or even thrco victories In tho
four-game series with the Pirates, was unexpected of Moron's lcaguo leaders. In
fw of tho fact that the Pirates had completely outplayed the Phillies In every
previous series this season.
By winning the Phillies bettered
Brooklyn max beaten by the Cardinals.
b the Phillies can travel better than a
be ableo make much headway.
Brooklyn Now on Even Terms With Boston
Brooklyn's defeat places It on even terms with the Braves for second place
and imposes tho samo ' task upon both In their strugglo to overhaul the fast
flying Phillies, whoso seventh straight win puts the team in a position where
H really needs but 12 more victories.
Twelvo victories in 22 games looks easier every day, and If tho Phillies
do capture a round dozen during tho remainder of the season Boston must win
IS of Its 20 to be on even term's, while Brooklyn, after its defeat at tho hands
e the Cardinals, is forced to win 15 against 3 defeats.
Good Luck for Phillies If Cubs Have Really Blown
The fact that Brooklyn has lost seven more games than the Phillies all
but eliminates Robinson's team from the fight, but the Braves still havo a
chance, though slim. The failure of tho Cubs to stop the Braves was a disagree
able surprlso to the fans, and means either that tho Braves aro going at a
terrific clip or the Cubs havo blown up for the season. If tho latter should be
the case, tho Phillies' chances are greatly improved, as the six-game scries with
Chicago is the one that Is now feared most by Manager Moran and his men.
St. Louis Already Experimenting With Recruits
St. Louis already has started using recruit pitchers, and probably will con
tinue this policy against all Eastern teams, showing no favorites. While Board-
ISMLn, who was with tho Athletics two years ago, managed to get away with the
'Dodgers yesterday, his chance of beating tho Phillies is considered much smaller
than that of Soak or one of Huggins' regulars. Recruits will be welcomed by
the Phillies. Boardman was purchased by the Cardinals from the Fargo-Moore-ibead
team, of the Northern League, where he was sent by the Athletics.
Chalmers' Added Victory Now Boom to Phils
The great pitching of Chalmers, after he had gotten a poor start, is another
evidence that the hard luck member of Moran's staff has regained his old con
fidence and can be counted upon to keep paco with Alexander and Mayer for
the rest of the season. That Chalmers is back in his 1911 form Is evident, or
Moran would not have taken a chance on him at this time. Present indications
point to Chalmers being used in an "iron man" act with Alexander if the team
should suddenly strike a slump.
Phils May Have Best Road Trip of Season
With everything breaking well and the contenders fast losing hope, the fans
throughout the country who have been predicting and looking for tho cracking
of Moran's team are likely to bo sadly disappointed. With such a splendid start
In the "West it would be no great surprise if the team, with its confidence greatly
Increased, should have the best road trip any team has made this season. It
becomes more apparent every day that thero Is not a bit of chance of the
pitching staff cracking, and that was the main hopo of both Brooklyn and Boston.
Instead of the Philly staff cracking, it begins to. look as if both Robinson and
Stallings were having a hard time keeping their hurlers up to top form.
St. Louis Shows Real Hustling Spirit
It must be admitted that the Athletics played poor ball throughout the
series with St. Louis, but the work of the Browns deserves credit. Rickey's
team is the only one in the American League which Is playing ball as though
It really enjoyed it. Tho Red Sox and Tigers are running a close race for the
Pennant, but these teams are not playing the scrappy, aggressive ball shown
by the Browns here.
Perhaps Boston was reserving its energy for the final dash, and did not
taka the series with the Athletics seriously; but then again the difference between
a high-salaried star and a youngster who is fighting for recognition may be
responsible for the difference. At any rate, the series with the Browns was a
wore interesting one than any played at Shibo Park for a long time, despite
the fact that the Mackmen were outclassed in each game.
Jacobson's Homer Almost Equals Walter Johnson's
Yesterday the score was 12 to 4. a total which would naturallv lonrt nn
to bel'ne tHat the game was a nightmare; but such was far from the case.
EeyeraJ of the Athletics played poor ball, but a few who were hustling and all
me urowns played brilliantly In the
served to enliven the game.
These drives wero made by Strunk, Oldring and Jacobson. The latter's hit
was one of the longest ever made at Shibe Park, being surpassed only by that
historic wallop made byl "Walter Johnson two years ago. Johnson hit the top
of the wall back of the bleachers in deep left, while Jacobson's drive was but
a XeV feet short of this mark and was more on a line.
Sisler Looks Like Sensation of the Season
Another feature of the game was the continuation of Slsler's sensational
work at first base, at bat and on the bases. This chap is a wonderful player,
and no mistake was made in hailing him as a "second Cobb." Sisler was
preceded by a reputation that was a hindrance to him; but the Michigan
youngster has even exceeded the expectations of his greatest admirers.
Manager Mack Will Have New Line-up Friday
No major league club is scheduled in this city until Friday, today and
Thursday being open dates. When the Athletics take the field on Vrlday It
will be with almost an entirely new team. Who will comprise .the team Man
aged Mack will not announce at the present time, but it is believed that he
has had his, new combination working In the mornings for a few days.
Cruthers, the local boy, who has been playing sensational ball for Memphis,
of the Southern League, will not be in the line-up, as the Southern League race
does not end for another week, and Mack Is not sure that he will exercise his
eption on Cruthers, so well pleased Is he with his other recruits.
Rumored That Rowland May Be Deposed as Manager
A report from the West Is that Clarence Rowland will not be manager
ef the White Sox next season. According to the story, Rowland has failed
dismally as a major league manager because he could not control his players
and lost his aggressiveness after the White Sox lost the lead.
.It is said that several players have openly defied Rowland at various
times without getting even a reprimand.
Eddie Collins Considered for White Sox Pilot
According to Information, either Eddie Collins or Frank Isbell, first base
man on the World's Champion White Sox team of 1906, will be allowed to
try his hand at running this collection of high-priced stars. While local fans
would like to see Collins advance, they are inclined to believe that it is too
soon for him to handle the position, and it is hardly likely that Comlskey
would want to hamper his costly Investment with this burden.
McGraw Now Is Sneering on the Other Side of His Face
Manager McGraw must be feeling rather sick today. He declared that
the Reds would finish a worse last than any tail-end team In the country.
Yesterday the Reds took the Giants over for the third straight time. The
Giants are Intrenched In last place, while the Reds are now in the first division.

CALIFORNIA RED-HEAD
EASILY RATED AS BEST
TENNIS PLAYER OF DAY
U. S. Ranking Officials Have
No Difficult Task Deciding
on Johnston "Comet"
Must Change Style
MAY YET BE CONTENDER
In comparison with that of last year,
the Ranking Committee of tho United
States National Lawn Tennis Annnrlntlnn
will this year have an easy task, at least
so far as ranking- the leading players is
concerned. Despite early season defeats
and a later defeat at the hands of II.
Norrls Williams, !d. of Philadelphia,
National Champion William M. Johnston,
the red-haired youth from sunny Cali
fornia, Is clearly entitled to the place.
Johnston has lost five matches since
the start of the season. In tho Panama
Pacific Exposition finals at San Francisco
he was defeated by McLoughlln: at Long
wood Nlles gained the verdict after flvo
long-drawn-out sets; Byford, a compara
tively unknown player, put him out at
Chicago, and Pell defeated him at South
ampton. But his victories over Bchr.
Williams and McLouchlin In the all
Important national championship com
pletely overshadowed theso defeats.
Even Williams' victory in the last .t
the East vs.West matches, which ended
In favor of the West by a 7 to 5 count,
cannot be seriously considered, for after
his double victory In tho all-comers It
was only natural that Johnston should re
lax from the high tension that carried
him to success. Just as Williams relaxed
last year and lost to Church in the inter
collegiatcs. The new national champion Is a tennis
player without a decided weakness, un
less It be in his service. Unlike most
Californlans, Johnston does not get
much of a break. Instead he places his
service so that it may draw his oppo
nent out of position. For Instance, he
Borved to McLoughlln's back-hand Ht
Forest Hills, and when "Mac" ran
around tho ball In order to get It on Ms
forehand Johnston would run In to mid
court and volley the return to the far
corner.
Johnston's use of the mid-court posi
tion for volleying came In for a great
deal of comment, since It Is very litt'o
uied In this country, although British
players volley from that position very ft
'ectlvely. McLoughlln, despite his loss of the
doubles title and his defeat by Johns
ton In the singles final, is far from ail
In as a tennis player of tho first rank.
The California "Comet," sooner or later,
must give up the service he has used so
long and successfully.
That bending back, then uncoiling and
striking like a snake, followed by a qulclc
leap to the net, use up too much energy.
During the tournaments that preceded
the national championship, McLoughlln
devoted considerable time to developing
his base-line plays, a department of tho
game In which he has been notoriously
weak. Improvement in this, and the ad
dition of a fair back-hand stroke will
make McLoughlln still a contender for
championship honors.
Despite rumors to the contrary, It Is
hardly likely that a Philadelphia club
will put In a serious bid for the national
championship at the annual meeting of
the U, B. N. L. T. A. next winter. Even
the supporters of Newport last winter had
to admit that the West 81 le Tennis Club
went the Newport Casino one better in
arrangements.
The Philadelphia Cricket Club holds the
women's national championship annually.
Should one of the local clubs bid for the
men's national. It Is hardly likely that it
would be permitted to come here unless
the women's championship Is removed.
Then before long Philadelphia, Instead of
holding a national tennis championship
annually, as it does now, will be getting
It about once In 10 years.

The Third Year Introduces "Sockless" Shaw, an Old
Friend of "Gabby," Who Brings the "Wanderers"
Up in the Race With the "Dummies"
By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN
The 'World's Most Famous Writer of Baseball Fiction
Jim Penny, Rtar scout of "Shad" noe's
"Touritts." discovers Charles ("Gabby")
NcIllRan, a dt.it and dumb catcher, who Is
a wonder. After much urKUir.ent, Jim r-er-Huades
his manager to engage the mute
wonder, who "has h whip like a 42'Centl
meter" and a bat without any holes In It.
"Gabby'a" prowess as a catcher and
batter are soon e.itabllehed and It takes
only a little longer to prove that he can
play poker and administer a knockout as
well an he cavorts through the national
pastime. His keen brain and all-scelng eye
enable him to devise new plays for the
"Tourists," now nicknamed the "Dum
mies," and to build a stonewall lntleld
.almost Impossible to pierce.
(Copyright. 1911, by Street & Smith.)
We come now to Gabby's third year
with the team, and the initial appearance
of "Sockless" Shaw, of tho "Wanderers."
During tho spring tralnlns, the papers
had been full of the doings or this sock
less person, who had been picked up In
the wilds by "Les" Turnbull, the Wand
erer scout. Les, so said the papers, put
a pair of socks on Shaw with his own fair
hands, and shipped him south by freight
where he Joined the Wanderers, and be
gan setting the fireside league ablazo with
sparks from his bat
"I know this Shaw," wigwagged Gabby
Nelllgan to his teammates. "He's my pal.
Wo played on the same team five years
ago out West."
"The old friendship between Gabby and
Shaw warmed again."
The Dummies remembered this "re
mark" when the Wanderers turned up on
the field before the opening game of the
evAouu, uuuuy ruvca nauway across ine
diamond., embraced tho much-advertlsrdB
Sockless Shaw, patted him on the back,
and "talked" with him as fast as his
fingers could fly. Shaw also was a leading
exponent of the finger language, and the
bleacherttes roared at the remarkable
sight.
'Sure he knows me!" said Sockless to
the Wanderers. "Sure thing! Nelllgan
and mo us't' pal together out West, l
Just happened to know the dummy al
phabet, and we got pretty thick. He's
a fine feller, and a hell-roaring good ball
playerl"
The last comment was not news to tho
Wanderers.
Before the game, Gabby fingered out
some sage counsel to Devlne, who was
slated to unwind the samples In the open
ing contest.
"6h.w-maif have dinged some In five
years," flourished Nelllgan's busy hands;
but. so far as I can recollect, ha mur
dera everything but a low ball. Slip
em to him knee hjgb. if you can: but
I wouldn't try to break over a fast ono
on him. That's where he used to live "
When the umpire begins to adjust his
wind pad, all friendships, cease. Gabby
'Iked Shaw as well as any man he haS
ever known. Gabby wanted to see him
make good in fast company-but no
against Dummy pitchers.
t DevinJ 3li hu be,t to kP the ball
low; but he was not one of the few men
who can command the control necessary
In such cases, and late In the game he
l. to..Jum,i a ra,t on "cross Shaw's
letters, and the sockless slugger hit
h".',0' "8hUnt0 the bleacheFs for a
home run. Oabby waggled out the cus
ternary remarks, beginning with "What
OF
(game J
BALLO.L&6 - YJ
7
AND TWO
did I tell you?" and winding up with
something worse; and, after such an In
troduction, the sockless one went on to
mako a reputation.
Opinions differ about Sockless Shaw's
ability ns a ball player; but I maintain
that if ho did not set the Great Lakea
allre. at least ho made them steam slight
ly, for sucn hitting had not been seen
for many a moon. Before very long he
had thousands of perfect strangers figur
ing his batting average from day to day;
and It amounts to something to set hu
"1,anJ1 beings to manhandling divisors and
dividends. They also kept cases on his
triples and home runs.
Tho pitchers wero deeply Interested In
Mr. Shaw, and sooner or later they came
to know, by means of the underground
teicgraph system which carries such In
telligence, that the mighty Sockless,
when hitting against low balls, became
practically swatless. Shaw did not like
that sort of pitching. For some reason
or other ho was unable to take his usual
swliifr at a low ball; but he made up for
this weakness by killing everything else
in the pitching repertoire. If he hit a low
ball nt all which was not often, for he
preferred not to offer at them seven
out of ten of his attempts would roll
weaKiy down the Infield.
Tho pitchers also discovered that If
thero was anything In the world which
he liked, it was a fast ball, anywhere be
tween waist and shoulder, or "across his
letters," as they say. Sockless would
wait a long time to get a single smash at
a ball of that sort; and he never allowed
one of them to get away from him unless
he was under absolute orders to wait or
sacrifice. He had no particular rule about
striking at the first ball; and pitchers who
tried to "bean" him in order to drive him
back from the plate found that he had a
eastlron nerve, and would hit a ball "oft
his ear" If he had to do It.
The old friendship between Gabby
Nelllgan and Shaw warmed again; and
whenever the teams visited each other,
tho men were never separated for Ions.
They went to moving-picture shows a
form of entertainment evidently design
ed for the edification of those who have
nothing but eyes-to musical comedies,
whore Shaw translated the Jokes upon
his fingers and to other places of amuse
ment, and found much pleasure 'n e.-ish
other's society.
Life -was not all movlng-plcture shows,
however, for Shad Roe had at last found
two good pitchers In his spring catch;
and In tho home town the fans were
beginning to cacklo about a pennant
winning team. Tho pitching staff was
goln well. Gabby's stonewall Inflela
worked by wireless; tho outfield was hit
ting a's hard as an outfield should In
order to hold Its Job, and many a bunch
of fans have talked pennant tnr i.
reason.
The Wanderers were also In the run
ning with both spikes; and the flag lay
somewhere between three teams-the old
reliable Benedict?, to whom a pennant
was no new thing; the Dummies and
the "Wanderers. The Benedicts retained
their lead until within sight of the sea
sons end; then their pitching staff sud
denly went wrong, and that methodical
aggregation slipped reluctantly out of the
race, leaving the fight between the Wan
derers and the Dummies, the bettlnc
even money and take your pick.
