V"UOM tiirougnout tlio country declare the Phillies nre BklddlnR nnd that tho
kj team hna slowed down to such an extent that It will bo lucky to return from the
present Western trip In tlie llrst division. Yet the same critics Insist that tho
Detroit Tigers look like the best bet in the American League. The Phillies nro
just one game away from first place. nlthoUBh tho team has been crippled for ten
days, while Detroit Is In sixth place nnd has )ost nve successive games.
It Is admitted that pttchns Is more than half the battlo and when one con
siders that the Phillies have one of the most powerful hurling corps In tho coun
try and Detroit, perhaps, the "Weakest In either major league It Is linrd to seo how
the scribes reach this conclusion.
Thero has been nothlncr wrnnir with Mm ,itr,iii,rr ui, ....... ,,. !.... ,.'.. i..v n
is not going quite so well as It was this time a Jenr ago, but tho hurlers have
done well enough to havo won 12 of the 14 games played to date Instead or 8, If
the leading sluggers of tho team had been batting up to form nnd Bill Klllcfcr had
fceen back In the game.
, The prolonged batting slump and poor physical condition of Cravath has been
the chief cause of the Phllly slump. The fence-breaker always has been a slow
starter, but while he was not boasting of a high n.verngo at this time In other
seasons, ho generally manased io Insert his base hits where they would do tho
most good. This season Cravath has failed miserably In tho pinches, but he Is a
natural slugger and should nor lemaln In his slump much longer.
Team Will Improve When Cravath Starts Hitting
WHEN Cravath and I.udorus are hitting the general work of tho rest of tho
Phllly team Improves CO per cent. It Is ur to this nalr of sluirireis. wlmsn
drives played An important part In the winning of the pennant last year, to get
going. Until they do the Phils will continue to sttld, but when they return to!
their 1915 form tho team hould soon pick up tho ground lost In the last two '
veok8. I
It Is said that Manager Moran Is still negotiating for tho services of Joe I "25?
Wood, despite tho fact that ho denied to local scribes that ho was dickering for I J4&f 4vA
the famous Red Sox hUrler. Wood may be nblo to show a flash of his old-tlmo
form and if he could come back ho would strengthen any team, but to our way
of thinking Moran had better look around for some utility lnfleldcrs becauso the!
pair ne, is carrying now couici not noiu up ineir end n ono ot tlie regulars was hurt.
Bobby Byrno always ha3 been a capable lnfleldcr, and last season was almost
as good as Stock, but wo havo been told by a rcllrjblo party that Byrno is unable
to close his right hand enough to grip a bat or to throw. Byrno's hand was broken
playing handball during the winter, and it Is said that tho break was not set
properly, with tha result that the ligaments have stiffened.
If such is the caso tho Phils are Indeed in a bad way, as Dugey, tho other
Infield substitute, is not up to major league standard. It Is truo that Whltted
could bo brought Into tho Infield, but ho nlso Is below tho major league Inflcldlng
standard. This absence of'. --serve strength In the Infield and tho crippled condl-
, tlon of the catching staff hr.s not been felt yet, but It Is well to prepare for the
future, as it looks like a long, hard race.

The Twenty-one-PIaycr Limit Rule May Be Stretched Again
MANAGER MOItAN wants President Toner to stretch the flexible 21-player
limit rule a trifle more by making Bill Klllcfcr eligible nt once. Killefer's name
(was placed upon tho ineligible list, although this also was denied, and, according to
the ridiculous rule, he cannot play for a week yet, as ho has not been out of tho
game for the required period. With Jack Adams on, the Injured list again, tho
Phll3 are In a bad way for catchers and pinch hitters and Moran wants to havo
Klllefer reinstated. '
With tho catching stafT tjrlppjed. It Is believed that Moran will bo forced to
send Klllefer behind tho rilate to 'test his arm. The Phllly leader has been trying
to dodgo this very thing, as ho fears tho worst. If Killefer's arm Is really gone,
Moran would like to conceal this fact from his players as long as possible, fearing
that their confidence will1 bo shattered If the famous receiver Is out for good.
Connie Mock's Theory of Ball Players ,
MANAGER MACK, ot the Athletics, is being criticised qulto a lot by scribes
of other cities because ho was quoted as saying, "You can't buy good ball
players with 'money." Several scribes remind Connie of some of the notable sales
otjtar players, but In doing so they are barking up the wrong tree, because
Mack never made tho remark. What Connio did say was, "Money can't buy the
kind of players I want."
Jn other woids. Mack does not wunt players who have spent several years in
tho major leagues and who have becomo set in their, ways. He wants tho raw
material, preferring to jJovelop It according to his own ideas. Charley Comlskoy
has paid $200,000 for 13 players within tho last flvo years In trying to give
Chicago a pennant, but tho White Sox apparently nro as far away now as they
were before he started.
Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Larry Chappelle, Ray Sclmlk, "Happy" Felsch,
Hal Chase, Bob Roth, Nemo Lelbold, Harry Lord, Buck O'Brien, Eddie CIcotto
I and Eddie Murphy were the men purchased, the .total sum expended being
J200.000 or more. Chappelle, Chase, Roth, Lord and O'Brien were of no value
to the White Sox and ComiBkey has cut them adrift, while those who remain
have not shown the form expected. Tho White Sox have a wonderful aggrega
tion on paper, but as Mack says, it Is possible that they might know too much
to be taught anything.
Runaway Races May Injure Leagues
IN 1314. and 1915 there was little chanco for the minor leagues to make money,
but the larger minor organizations staged sensational races which were close
from the opening of the season until tho finish. This season, with conditions so
Improved that all were looking forward to a prosperous year, several of the
strongest organizations are staging runaway races and the fans In some of the
tail-end cities have already become very much disgusted.
In the American Association, Louisville lost tho opening game and did not
lose again until yesterday, winning 12 consecutive games; while in tho Southern
Association, New Orleans and Nashville apparently outclass the field. WhI)o no
.team has got an immense lead In the other minor league, teams In cities which
.were counted upon to draw large crowds have lost so many games that the fans
are counting them out of the race already, and It might not be such a prosperous
year after all.
BUI Clymer, the king of minor league managers, is handling Louisville, and it
leqks very much as If he Is back at his old trick of winning pennants In tho
jAmerican Association. Clymer turned out several pennant winners at Columbus
and then went to the International League, where he developed a few more. If
ever there was a minor league manager deserving of a chance to pllofa major
league club, Clymer is the man, but for some reason he has been passed up. He
has developed such a powerful team at Louisville that he has released almost
enough men who have played in the big leagues during the last two years to
complete a team.

rpHD average golfer is Inclined to put
A. a. lot of time In shifting from thl
grip to that one, or vice versa. A lot
of importance Is attached' to tho way one
Kniis a ciuu, whereas wo believe this to
be ono of tlie nonessentials of correct
play.
The way a club Is gripped should be
moro a mutter of comfort and natural
ness rather than form. This statement
can be proved from tho multitude of grips
used by various successful golfers.
The Overlapping
Vardon, Braid and Ray all use the
overlapping grip. This to many is proof
enough that such n grip Is the only cor- J
icti umc. iney lorgei tnnt varaon, iiraid
and lay nil began with this grip and
uipreiore round In it the comfort and
naturalness desired. They would very
likely havo been quite as successful with
almost any other type.
T ko tlie ense of the leading amateurs
of y. merlca Including Trovers, Travis,
Gardner, Oulmct. Klrkby, Marston and
Kvans. There never was a great variety
of grips for dlfferont shots, yet nono of
these has ever used the overlapping or
varuon stylo.
Various Grips
In the use of their wooden clubs. Tro
vers, Iflrkby, Marston and Gardner all
use the old-fashioned V-grlp. Travis uses
the same with the right hand further
under. Evans uies a grip with both thumbs
down the shaft, but otherwise thero Is
no overlapping or Interlocking. Oulmct
uses tho Interlocking with the little finger
of IiIb right hand and the forefinger of
his left hooked together. Yet with these
vlt'e varieties all havn been successful.
In Iron play there Is still a greater
i amu. iiiuk i'.vuiiH employs tne same grip
I straight through. Klrkby, In Iron Bhots.
uses the overlapping system, while Tra
vels sticks to the V-grlp, but changes this
slightly by putting the tip of his right
thumb on tho shaft to obtain greater
steadiness and a keener touch.
Starting today, there will be many major league scouts in this vicinity for
the rest of the summer, as the leading Independent leagues of Philadelphia
and its suburbs will get under way. Opening days are scheduled in the Mont
gomery County, Manufacturers and U, Q. I. Leagues, while the Delaware County
Suburban, industrial nnd other strong organizations got under way last week.'
There -are more good young ball players In Philadelphia nnd its suburbs than in
any other section of the country, but, as Manager Mack says, they are hard to
find and "Wpef ully greenr

any of the present-day stars.

At Montgomery. Ala., on May 3, First Baseman Dillinger, of the Albany team
ot tha South Atlantic League, had 21 put-outs and one assist in a nine-Inning
game against Montgomery. This Is the greatest mark of recent years and
PUHuser came within on? chance of equaling the world's record. The put-outs in
this game were confined to DIUinger with21, Catcher Jordan with five and
Bight Fjfjder Krebs with one. another unusual feature.
f
Clark CSr!flJtb claims to have signed a wonderful college pitcher whom Mana
ger Mack is expecting to report to the Athleticaln June, Griffith refused to mention
h.e yfiun man' name, but says that he pltche3for a pollege which Is not Very
Mr from Philadelphia. "Griff" say Connie has only a yerbal promise from the
oungster wWla ho has the signed contract
Four of the greatest Iron players Amer
ica has ever produced. In regard to accu
racy at least, are Travers, Travis, Carter
and Kvans. Yet all four employ widely
different grips for practically the same
results. Travis has his right hand well
under with his right thumb away from
the shaft ; Travers has his right hand well
over with his right thumb tip pressing
on the shaft ; Evans has both thumbs
down the shaft; Carter uses tho overlap
ping. Yet these four are all masters of
the iron.
The Leader
Naming the best Iron player among
American amateurs is a hard assign
ment. Yet If it were left tp a vote qt
tha prose who have seen all play, we
believe the honor would be awarded to
Phil Carter, Carter plays an Iron more
In the professional fashion than any other
amateur we know of, unless it be Chick
Evans. .Evans or Travers wilt make a
greater number of brilliant shots than
Carter will, but for deadly steadiness and
control he has hardly an equal. Donald
Itoss recently paid a great tribute to Car
ter's iron play, "I have never seen an
amateur In America," he said, "who has
such wonderful control of a low iron shot,
1 havo seen others who could get the
same backspln on a high pitch, but Carter
can get It without thumping the ball
nearly bo high In the air, Hy keeping his
shots fairly low he can get much better
direction and keep better control In every
way. Then, too, he has a sure crispness
to his shots, a firmness that one seldom
sees in an amateur;
"It is a remarkable thing to see, even
Under pressure, hove many of his an.
proach shots from 1E0 yards away up
to 50 move on a low, dead line to the
pin, and how quickly they putt up, once
they strike the turf."
"Carter," continued Boss, "never lets
his hands come up. They are always
low; low In starting the Btroke, low at
the moment of Impact and low at tha
finish."
Returning to, the subject
proper gripping. It Is worthy of noto prac
ttcully every American amateur champion
nas useu tno om-rasnioned v-grlp, with
out any Interlocking or overlapping on
the wood, while most of tho pros have
used tho other sort. Yet Alex Smith never
has, nnd Alex has won tho open chnmplon
ship three times. It Is undoubtedly bet
ter to hold tho club In tho fingers rather
than the palm of tho right hand, yet Alex
Smith, Walter Travis and John Ball, who
havo won enough championships to fill a
ircignt car, all grip with tho right palm.
And wo recall tho case of a certain ama
teur good enough to go around steadily
from 76 to 80 and win several Slatn rhnm.
plonshlps who gripped with his left nnd
right hands at least two Inches apart, yet
ho got both dlstanco and direction because
he followed tho main essentials of proper
play In other ways. He had become ac
customed to this grip and undoubtedly
played as well as If ho hadstarted with
tho moro orthodox stylo. Thero being a
wide difference in the length and strength
of fingers and of hands, what may suit
one golfer will not appeal to tho other;
and 'the grip that strikes a note of com
fort, ease and naturalness Is pretty sure
to be the ono that will bring the best
results.

Wins Four Out of Six
Furious Rounds.;
Billy Haas Looks
Good in Preliminary
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL -.
TOE WELSH boxer, not the aCtor '
J has put on a regular "comeback" act
and now Is ready to argue with any of
rsrrT v tho leading llght-
fs-assBsi.T,'N. .iv.. -i. i.. ;;.
two weeks Joseph
' has met and defeated
a pair of our leading
fistic high lights, viz.,
Willie Moody and
Pal Moore, the latter
being; his victim at
the Lincoln, A. C. last
night. Mr. Welsh
won four of the six
rounds, and It is a
simple problem in
arithmetic to figure
that it was enough
to Klvo him ,the battle.
It will be remembered that Joe wis
billed to act with Jimmy Murphy .last
Friday night, but Mr. Murphy had an
engagement elsewhere and went else-
wucro insieaa or to tlie Lincoln A. C,
Then Mr. "Welsh took on a Mr. Moody and
gave vent to his feelings on the face-and
body of the Fort Richmond, boy.- Need
less to say, Joseph felt much better after
this battle and was all set to mingle last
night with Pal. one of the 67 varieties
of the famous Moore family.
Moore was anxious to make a good
showing against Welsh" and tried Iwd
all of the way. He was a trifle fat, how
ever, and was unable to do any effcctlvo
work save In the clinches. Welsh, on
the other hand, was n great shape and
seemed to have regained some of Jtho con
fidence he lost wper JPenny Leonard clip
ped him on the chin some time ago. Joe's
left Jab was working beautifully and
generally found a mark on Pal's face.
Pal was bleeding from an old cut on the
bridge of the rjose after, the first round,
but It was nothing serious.
Welsh did his best work In the fifth
round, when he drove Moore Into a neu
tral corner and landed a flock of lefts and
riBiiiH ia me neaa ana body. Pal evi
dently was tired after this session, but
ha gamely toed t,ne mark in the sixth
and (Unshed strong.
. There Is no getting around It, but
one has to go to one of the small clubs to
see real exciting boxing. There wis a
good card at the. Lincoln A. c inn rem
and the preliminaries appeared to be fas
ter than tha wlndup. George Decker was
master of ceremonies, and he saw that
tha performers performed to tho full ex.
tent of their ability. He was aided, ab
betted and otherwise assisted by a har
monious' flfa and drum corps and lota
of musio was spilled every time there was
a lull ia the proceedings. In all. It was
