fOD PITCHING AttD "BREAKS" OF
flAME-BBAT PHILLIES FOR HONORS
Luderus Played Remarkably Brilliant Game in
field and at Bat Duffy Lewis, of Red Sox, Was .
Big.Hero for the Boston Followers
world's series Is now a thing of the past, and local fans must look
fcrtl tho 1016 season. The rhlllles were beaten In tins world's scries, dui
'ftw the greatest struggle ever singed between tno pennant-winning
o the National and American League. It was no dlsgraco to lose to a
LWr&t played tho wonderful brand of ball tho Hcd Sox displayed.
t only did Carrlgan'B team have tho punch nt tho right time, but It
u wonderful defense, with unusual pitching, and was also favored
breaks. Hard luck Is tho alibi of tho falluro; but In the case of the
they have every right to feel that they were outlucked. Yesterday
A Sox won on their merits and won becauso they were gamo and
better ball, offensively.
Phillies Were Outlucked
But while admitting that tho Phillies were outlucked and that the two
ims should bo staging another battle today, It Is not hard to find tho
1 of: tho defeat. Three of tho bulwarks of tho Phllly team, nnd a trio
t has played havoc with opposing pitchers In the pinch throughout the
Vonol Lcaguo season, fell down hard.
In granting tho Phillies a great chanco to win tho series, every one who
K ved that Moron's team would win were banking on tho slugging or
. urath, tho plnch-hlttlng of Nlehoft and tho general all-around worlds
' e brilliancy shown by Whltted In 1914; but they wcro doomed to dla-
olntmcnt.
Cravath Disappointment
.Cravath, tho home-run king and league leader In driving In runs, could
send homo a single tally In tho series, though ho had many chances. In
,6n Cravath hit three balls an unusual distance, nnd nil would have been
t for homo runs In the short Phllly nark: but In this city ho was hclplesB.
16 trips to the plate Cravath mado only two hits, one n doublo and tho
r a triple.
Fans throughout tho country arc trying to explain Just how tho demon
ger fell down; but tho answer Is easy. There wero two Importnnt reasons
Crnjtith was a mark for tho Bed Sox pitchers. Ono was that tho scout
Jient by Manager Carrlgan to watch tho Phillies did his work well,
p hurlcrs ever pitched to a man's weakness better than tho Boston
jld to Cravath. It had been said that ho had no weakness, but
lurd. No batter ever lived who did not have one, even tho peerless
. It la harder to pitch to tho weakness of somo batters than It is
ther reason why Cravath could not hit was becauso ho was trying
1 e boll. He struck out six times during tho series simply becauso
tilling for a homo run. Luderuu tried to do tho samo thing In Boston
"Dutch" Leonard; but after he had fanned threo times without tho
jpltcher resorting to a. curve ball, he changed his stylo and got just
ti" distance without "taking a toe-hold," ns tho ball players call It.
V
One Hit Apiece for Niehoff and Whittcd
iff appeared to be rattled nnd worried every time he stepped to
,' He swung at too many bad balls, nnd did not swing naturally
did offer at a good one. Whltted's failure to mako good Is a
, His nerve was good and ho was apparently swinging Just ns he
Jtason; but he did not hit even ono ball hard during the enttro series.
hit Whltted made was an Infield single, while Nlehoft made his
Sfof the series yesterday, and only hit two balls out of the Infield In
re series.
men who played best for the Phillies were tho very ones tho fans
I would blow up In the pinch; In fact, many critics picked Luderus,
, Stock and Burns as the weak points In the Phllly machine, but
rk in the past series stamps them as game and brilliant ball players.
iem played bent when things were breaking bad, and It is this style
;r who counts in the long run.
f.
s
h
l
"Cap" Luderus Philly Star
tain Luderus was easily tho greatest Phllly player, and he was the
the series, barring jDuffy Lewis, another who was counted upon to
7n because of pasv performances. Luderus was second in batting,
rpndorf ultail 'In the field and drove in seven of the ten runs scored
-'hlllies In tho series.
bnd In line for the Phillies are the pitchers and Eddie Burns. Tho
pitching staff performed well enough to have won four out of five
ay team If they had been given some help by the sluggers. Burns
jther star. Killefer's Injured arm was In good enough trim for him
-one behind the bat In the last two games; but with Burns catching
r ball Manager Moran really believed that It would weaken the
tend his star lntd the gamo with his condition doubtful. Bancroft
c also showed up well, tho former completely outplaying the much-
Jcott In the field. Bancroft was expected to outhlt Scott; but few
that ho could outclass the Bed Sox youngster in tho field.
Series Greatest Ever Contested
.rally, there were other reasons why the Phillies were beaten. Ono
is the Boston team. There have been many better teams In the
lerles before; In fact. It Is likely that both teams were the weakest
Ions that have battled for tho championship in several seasons; but
ries was the greatest ever contested, this matters not.
Red Sox played steady, consistent ball and presented a defense that
velous. It seemed Impossible to get anything by the infield, while
jield covered acres of ground and used grand" Judgment In playing
i ars, Tho pitchers looked mighty good behind that brand of fielding;
'. catchers must not be overlooked in showering praise on the youngsters
tched the Bed Sox to victory.
Sox Catching Staff First Class
a staff, the Bed Sox catchers are outclassed by several In the major
a for all-around ability; but Carrlgan, Cady and Thomas used wonderful
.ient In handling tho pitchers, and evidently liod every sign the Phillies
r they were given so openly that one of the lnfleldera tipped off tho
ri or pitchers.
"tee, yesterday the Phillies started a hit-and-run play, something that
lected Just too long, and the plays were broken up, once by Thomas
-jo other time by Cady. So clear was It that this play was coming off
,'Foster wasted pitches more than a foot outside the plate, where it was
' Ibsolute impossibility for the batter to hit tho ball, and nnncmtt nn,i
lip;jcus were caught stealing. If these failures had occurred early In the

WJ
L Inside Daseball Neglected
nside baseball, which carried the Phillies through the National League
t dttzy clip ana won the championship, was entirely neglected during
lerles. It was Just another world's series, greater than any before, It
le; but still far from being high-class ball.
Managers appear to fear tho sting of criticism too much in case a bit
.'ategy goes astray, and Moran was no exception. Two games might
been won with better inside ball, and the squeeze play was neglected
lyV The break of tho series came In the first and third innings of the
game, when the Phillies passed up wonderful opportunities because
M4- not us their heads. A squeeze play In either inning would probably
caufeht the Bod Sox napping, while too much caution was used on the
n this game. During the regular season the Phillies won many games
,se they) took two bases on every single, and were willing to take chances;
hey appeared to fear the Red Sox too much to take advantage of breaks
could have been forced to their rdvantage,
,
a Red Sox Thoroughly Deserve Success
L T word of congratulation on their splendid and clean victory Is due the
.jNjkwc. Carrlgan's team played clean and gentlemanly, but, at the same
jMd baseball from start to finish and surely deserved Its success. Par
WArweHt Is due to the young pitchers and the system; but Duffy Lewis

DOPE SHIFT YESTERDAY
Rl
fltCD LUDUHL'8
By FRED LUDERUS
Captain and First lineman of the Champion
rhllllts.
Looking back over tho Ave games of
tho world's series, It seems to me
that tho biggest consolation tho Phil
lies navo l that
every man on tho
team fought In every
Rnrae to tho Inst
ditch, that Is until
K'lllefcr had ground
ed out to Scott for
the final out In tho
last gamo played
hero yesterday.
Before going Into
any of tho detatls
of that game, or ot
any other games, I
want to say that I
am proud to have
been cnptaln of tho
Phillies this year
They played great ball nil season nnd
Brent ball In the world's scries against
tho Hcd Sox. They won tho race In tho
NnUonal League, but they were outbatted
In tho series, and that enured their
downfall.
Before tho series began I was confident
that we would win, becnuso I figured
thnt Alexander would win every game In
which ho started, nnd I still bellevo that
If we had been able to get thnt game
yesterday "Alex" would have won today
In Boston, and that wo would havo had
nt least nn even chanco to take the
seventh game with George Chalmers in
the box.
That "Alex"' lost his gamo In Boston
to "Dutch" Leonard wob not his fnult.
He pitched wonderful ball for a world's
series contest, and If we had come
through with the hitting which we did
yesterday, there would have been nothing
to It.
"ALEX." HELD IN nESERVE.
suppo.se there oro a lot of Phlla-
I suppose there oro a
dclphla rooters who are wondering today
why wo did not pitch Alexander yester
day. Probably some of them think that
"Alex" wasn't In condition to go tho
route. But ho was. He could hnve gone
In Tuesday after pitching Monday, ns I
havo said. But after thinking tho matter
over nnd seeing Mayer warm up. Man
ager Moran decided, and I agree with
him, that we had best take a chanco on
Mayer and save Alexander for today's
game If we won yesterday, and we fully
expected to win, too.
That, wo calculated, would havo given
us the sixth game In Boston, and we
would havo had Chalmers to fnll back
on for tho scenth and deciding game of
the series. We were trying to figure out
how to win the scries and not Just to
prolong it. That Is why Rlxey went In
yesterday after Mayer had shown that
ho didn't have as much stuff as we
thought he hod.
If yesterday had been the sixth or de
ciding game we would have put Alexan
der In to finish after the Bed Sox had
been hitting Mayer hard, but that would
havo left us nobody who could have gone
In tomorrow, and, as I said, we were
counting on winning the series, not just
getting as many games as we could. We
showed yesterday that we wero coming
back to our batting stride, and I believe
that If we had ever got through with
that one and gone to Boston with two
victories and three defeats wo would have
won the series.
I don't think there Is any pitcher who
can work a great game against us twice
In ono series. Shore didn't pitch as well
In tho game he beat us as ho did the
first, when wo beat him. Then Foster
came back yesterday after beating us
last Saturday and we got him for nine
hits for a total of thirteen bases. If we
had got Leonard again I think we would
have got to him as wo did to Foster yes
terday. So far as the Red Sox outclassing us
In the series, I think that is Just about
as absurd as nnythlng that could be said.
There has never been a series since they
were begun that tho games were so close
ly contested as that which we played tho
Rod Sox. Wn wnn tVia flfof .nm. 1 A 1
and even that game was closer than the
score would indicate, for we had all the
breaks, and n fow differences In that lino
1 would have given tho Red Sox the game.
Tho next threo gnmes, thnt Is, the one
pinyeu nere on Hnturony and tne two
played In Boston on Monday and Tues
day, wcro won by tho Red Sox by the
samo scores 2 to 1. That shows that we
wcro fighting all the time nnd that the
Boston Club was having a hard time
getting over any runs even If they wcro
outhlttlng us.
In those three games which tho Bed
Sox won ono little break In our favor
would have given us any ono of them.
Not only that, but a base bit placed hore
or thcro with a man on tho bags would
havo done tho samo thing. But things
didn't brenk for us nnd our fellows
couldn't get that hit that would have
turned the tide of the game and put us
on an even footing with them.
The second, third and last games were
won by the Bed Sox In tho ninth Innings.
In the ense of tho first two. It was bad
breaks that won for them, but yester
day Hooper's home run Into tho ccntro
field bleachers was clean-cut, and there
Isn't any alibi thnt can be made on that
one.
THOSE OLD SHORT FENCES.
I don't suppose nny ono can say now
1 thnt the short Molds of our park arc an
advantage to us. Yesterday's gamo wns
I won by tho Red Sox through this fact
alone. Tho three homo runs that tho
Red Sox made, two by Hooper nnd ono
by Lewis, were bounders Into tho bleach
ers, and Lewis' hit drove In a runner
ahead of him. That makes three runs
thnt the short field gave them, while wo
didn't get any for that reason. I think
that the ball 1 hit over tho right field
wall would havo gone easily Into tho
bleachers at Braves' field.
On the other hand, Lewis' fly that
landed Just Inside the ccntro field bleach
ers would havo been an easy out for
Pnskert If ho could hnve gotten to It on a
big Held.
If any ono thinks that Carrlgan be
lieved that he had us licked without
half trying, as ho said In a Boston paper,
they should toko notice of the way ho
handled his men yesterday. As soon nB
Rlxey went Into tho box ho sent Cady
In to cntch, nnd It wasn't long before
Onlnor was on first In place of Hoblltzel.
Carrlgnn knew well enough that ho was
up ngalnst a hnrd proposition, and yet ho
hnd to put In all tho batting strength ho
hnd to win. That Is why ho sent In two
rlght-hnnded hitters Instead of two left
handed men that he started out to use.
When It comes to fielding I think that
our players were Just as good as the Red
Sox. It Is true that they mado more
spectacular plays In tho outfield, but It
Is becauso wo happened to be hitting
their pitchers harder at the time they
wcro hitting ours. It wan up to their
fielders to get these balls or we Tould
have won.
On tho Infield, I think thnt even with
Bnrry's great work our fellows showed
them up. Stock played a grent game at
third and Bancroft did far better work
than Scott. Eddie Burns handled all of
our pitchers In a way that shows that
we are not weak In that department even
with Klllefer out of the game.
Before closing I want to say that the
umpiring of the series was tho best I
have ever seen. Wo had four different
umpires In different positions In the first
four games, and all of them, I thought,
wore not only fair but competent In tho
extreme.

tho match on tho 17th.
Both were 75 yards short of tho 18th

REITER CONTENDS
Injuries to Players of Both
Teams Not Due to Un
necessary Roughness
OFFICIALS BLAMELESS
Yalo has not yet recovered from tho"
hard gamo with Lehigh last Saturday,
and It Is probablo that she will feel the
effects for weeks to come. Guernsey,
Thompson and Bctts may not bo able to
play again this season, and Black and
Baldrldgo oro out ot the gamo for two
or three weeks. All of this goes to show
that thcro was a strenuous football game
at New Haven, for It Is unusual that five
varsity players In good condition ore
forced to leave tho field becauso of In
juries. V
Lehigh also had some hard luck, as
Chcnowlth was carried off the field with
a broken leg and Jim Keady Is suffering
fiom a badly Injured shoulder. Needless
to say, tho gamo was ono of the hardest
played In years, and Yale coaches aro
protesting against tho actions of tho vis
iting players and tho officials. They say
that there was too much "unnecessary
roughness" and the officials could havo
stopped It had they been on the Job.
Once during the game Frank lllnkey
rushed out on tho field nnd protested
ngalnst the rough play as he saw It from
tho sidelines and the nrbltcrs tried to
explain conditions as they saw It.
In direct contrast to the actions of the
New Haven conches comes a statement
from "BoBle" Belter, head of tho depart
ment of physical education at Lehigh.
"Stories of the unusually rough play are
misleading," he says, "As ono who
watched the playing carefully, I am un
able to agree with this sentiment.
"The game was stubbornly contested,
but at no time did I seo any wilful, un
necessary roughness. Guernsey was In
jured when he dived over the line and
landed on his shoulder. In fact, It seemed
to mo that many of tho Yale men wero
In no condition to stand a hard contest.
"In regard to tho Injury to Keady's
shoulder and tho fracture of Chenno
wlth's leg, there was nothing to Indicate
foul tncttcs. Their hurts were accidental."
POWER AND ACCURACY IN GOLF
LIE IN EASY, RHYTHMIC SWING.
Once Started Right, Proper Positions Are Assumed
Naturally Drives, Putts and Other Shots Prom
Philadelphia Cricket Cub
By JOHN ALBERT SCOTT
WHEN you have performed the simple
exercise described In tho last article
you will find your hands are whero thoy
ought to bo; that a line dropped as Indi
cated will strike the ground Inside tho
right heel; and that they have reached
this position without any swing j"
tho body of themselves. They have been
taken around the body by tho l""1'" "
tho hips and tho movement of the shoul
ders. You will further notice that you
havo not had to bend tho left elbow to
get the club to a horizontal position, back
of the neck. It was the bending of tho
wrists and the movement of the shoulders
thnt did this, nnd It Is tho bending of the
wrist which constitutes "wrist action in
the golf strokes nnd puts tension In them,
ready for action In the down Btroko.
If you have not allowed tho body to
sway In performing this exorcise a very
valuable tense of tho action of the left
leg and foot will be obtained, as well as
tho stiffening or tension of tho right leg
and hip, bo you will know when thoy aro
workliig right In the actual swing.
Tho really valuable thing about the
foregoing exercise Is to prove that you
can place yourself correctly; therefore,
It follows, you can swing to the correct
position by following the methods which
havo been pointed out. At first, possibly,
and very probably, this position cannot
be reached comfortably when swinging
tho club back, but continuous practice
will loosen tho muscles and enable you
to get to the proper position easily.
Another way to get this Idea of tho
Btrnlght swing back of tho hands nnd
the keeping of tho left arm straight clcar
Iv In mind Is as follows: Take an ob
ject directly In line back of tho ball, or
have someone stand at a safe distance
back of It, out of range of tho club head.
This will be to your right: but It is a lino
from tho ball which must bo taken, not
from yourself. Stand and grip correctly,
and allowing tho body to turn In tho
proper way, and the shoulders to respond
freely, try to swing the club head straight
back to tho object or person back of tho
ball. Look at the club head while doing
It, and see tho track It takes and where
your hands go. You certainly aro not
trying to get them around tho body; still
they will go directly to tho correct posi
tion at tho top of the swing, and the
wrists will drop tho club shaft Into quite
tho correct position, when tho hands stop
nt the right height. This Is tho simplest
method I can think of to get the Idea
of the straight back awing of the hanrt.
Into your mind, nnd to convince n
thnt If you do swing them so. tho cluh
will go In the proper track-always ore,
vldlng you allow tho body to turn coil
rcctly and the shoulders to work properly.
Furthermore, by this oxerclse, you will
loosen tho swing and get rhythm Into It.
What must be apparent to you now !
tho simplicity and naturalness reflected
In the easy movements of the great koIN
ers that Is at bottom the reason for th
power and accuracy of their strokes
They never assume unnatural or strained
postures, rather overy position they tak
holds latent tho correct position that l
Jo follow It.
Long banks of fog fluttered about th
links at the Cricket Club and gobbled
up all tho shots that couldn't get tangUd
up In anything else. Despite the gtooia
the fog added to tho scone. There were
eome very cheerful shots made.
