uses his cap as a tall, shakes It vigorously,
and prances up and down the base line
until tpa opposing pitcher doesn't know
whether he Is at a ball game or a circus.
Caldwell Falls for It
While Itay waa trying to find his bear

off tho centre-field wall.

Is going on. Clnrk QrlftUh was first to
discover it when he allowed Germany
Schaeffer to perform, and since then has

he wan on the playing field with De

Shacffcr got tired of sitting on the bench
and went Into the conchor's box. Feeling

he Improved his act, nnd before tho sea
son was over Germany's nntlca won many
ball games for his team, "
Then Griffith got busy. He renllzcd
the -value of Shaeffer, but trembled at the
thought of what might happen If his star
coacher should get sick or disabled. The
team had won 17 games In a row nnd
Was the unanimous selection to ffnlsh first
In tho league. Something MUST be done
at once. Ho MUST find another man to
cut didoes on tho coaching line.
Signs Altrock '
Grimth had heard of Nick ltrock, who
then waa pitching good and bad mostly
bad ball with Minneapolis. He gotln
touch with Joe Cantllllon and mado an
offer. Joe wbb ready to nccept, when
Nick pitched a wondorful gamo and the
stuff was off. Soon Altrock again hit
the toboggan nnd Griffith once moro wired
an off or. Joo gavo Nick one moro chance
before sending him to the big league and
the result was another beautifully pitched
game. This happoncd noarly a dozen
times, nnd finally Griff grabbed a player
for major leaguo duty who was too slow
for Minneapolis.
When Altrock and Shaeffer began work
ing together tho attendance at all of tho
ball parks Increased considerably wjlicn
Washington came to town. Tho fans came
out In droves to seo Shaeffer nnd Altrock,
and tho ball gamo wan only nn Incident.
But there Is a difference between Saw
yer's work and that of tho twotploneers.
Sawyer's net fs clean-cut and stand-out,
whllo Altrock and Shaeffer resort to tho
crude slap-stick Btuff. Tho new sensa
tion Is a regular actor 'and puts on his
act tho same as a comedian who draws
$1000 a week.
Is Good Infleldcr . j
Sawyer Is an Infleldcr, and a good one.
He was purchased from tho Des Moines
team In tho Western League .last fall be
cause he was a first-class second baseman
and Washington was In need of such a
person. His coaching stunts woro as much
of a surprise to himself and Grimth as
any one else, t ' '
Carl Is beginning his fourth year In
baseball. Ho started with the Fresno
team In the California state League and
the next year went to Loa Angeles. Last
year ho moved a step higher In tho West-:
orn League, and now seo where he- Is!
It's a Ba'fe bet that Sawyer will remain
on tho coaching lino dnd draw his salary
If he never breaks Into a ball game. Ho
la good enough to drnw the cash cus
tomers, and that always makes a hit with
the man who pays the salaries. ".-
He Is known In Washington almost as
well as Walter Johnson, and that's going
some. He broke In with a brass band
accompaniment when the home season
opened, and even the President of the
United States applauded his act.
Makes Wilson Laugh .
Here is how It happened:
The Marine Band was engaged for the
occasion, and when it formed for the
march across the field Sawyer grabbed a
baseball bat, borrowed the leader's cap
and led the ferocious musicians to the
grand stand, waving the bat aa a baton.
Wilson almost fell out of his Beat, and
when the others saw the Executive enjoy
ing himself they decided to do the same
thing, and Carl received more of an ova
tion than was tendered John Philip Sousa.
Now any performer who can get a laugh
out of President Wilson and Connlo Mack
on the samo Held principally Connie is
GOOD, and there la no) doubt but that-Jie
will be with us far soma time to come.i
Remember, men, 'he's Just a youngster,
and he's Just BOUND to IMPROVE.

morning when he bared his sunburned

with Ed Clarey, ex-caddy, and last hope

of the 315-yard 19th hole and only a putt

with 3 and the match.

"You're right 1" said tho Cash Customer
In Row A 1, Section North, Right, to his
neighbor In Scat 2 ! "It certainly does take
two good boxers, to hiakc a good fight."
Johnny Cnnhlli, of St. Paul, and Franklo
"White had Just left the ring at the Na
tional -Saturday night, amid thunderous
applause, after tho visitor had mado one
of thcl'grentcst Impressions of nay boxer
here this season. Both fanR admitted
their dope was correct and It was, too.
History In Philadelphia boxing proves
that many, star performers have been
killed off from further competition here be
cause they did not show well on their first
appearance. Yet It really wasn t Jhe out-of-town
boxer's fault. The one picked aa
n trial horpo discovered his opponent had
class and spoiled hostilities by stalling,
thus handicapping the newcomer.
Match-mnking apparently Is not nn easy
business nnd necessitates much head
work. Jack McGulgan choso tho most
willing 120-potindcr here, and ono who will
give any one a tough sctto, In Whlto to
nsalst In Cnshlll's debut. White was out
boxed; ho felt the sting of quite, a few
Jabs, hooks and right-crosses, but Mr.
CaBhlll had to bo cartful at all times, fpr
Franklo kept coming all tho time.
White Sood Gnff
CaBhlL 'iaH a lot of class. Ho dropped
oft In F.lladclphta an unknown, but with
a letter of recommendation from Mike
Gibbons, whose style of boxing Johnny
Imitated to a nicety. lie feinted White
Into leads, making htm miss, and counting
with punches to the head nnd body. For
nbout thrco rounds White wns unable to
land p good punch on tho St. Paul boy,
but In tho latter periods ho succeeded In
crossing his right to the Jaw, and then
Johnny wns forced to bo careful.
Caehlll won by a big margin nnd too.
much -praise cannot bo given him for his
wonderful exhibition, which probably wll
guarantee him some good matches here.
Still, White must not be forgotten, for he
helped the Westerner to make good by his
willingness, nnd it probably Is safe to
say that Franklo would fight the same
way against n champion.
Anothor good battle was tho repeater
between Lew Stinger and Young Fulton,
1 the former winning after 18 minutes of al
most continuous slugging. On several oc
casions tho lighters stood head to head and
exchanged punches for fully 30 seconds at
a time.
- There was n wind-up, too. Eddie CampI
tmtboxed Billy de Foe, which ts all tho
mention necessary.

POINTS FOE VETERANS AND
BEGINNERS ON TENNIS TURF
By WILLIASt
CONTINUI'NCI yesterday's discussion of
generalship on a tennis court we will
take up the remaining styles of game.
We meet a man who plays the chop
stroke game from ttie back court This,
Is the style game of Wallace Johnson, Jo
seph J, Armstrong, Irving Wright 'and
Thomas Bundy, although Bundy also has
a good net attack. There la only one thing
to flq If you expect to win go to the net
all the time and volley short off with
sharp angles.
Lastly, we meet the man who depends
on steadiness, "the pat-ball artist."
When meeting a man who 'plays this
most exasperating style of tennis, start
out with two thoughts:
First, I won't play hjs, game,
Second. I will attack all the time. Never
let a steady player put you on the de
fensive. Hit consistently hard all the
time and go to the net -whenever possi
ble. Keep the game movtpg as rapidly as
possible and mix your shots as often as la
practical.
Thus we see that; we must either force
the other man to play oiy game this
should be dono whenever possible or
adapt our game to meet the Btyjo of the
other man. Therefore It la' a good thing
to learn aa many different strokes aa
i;-r.i'Mriniiiliiiniii " tax. them aa easily
aa possible. '
In the foregoing; It haa been taken for
granted a man could vary hla game,. In
this we will take It for granted that we
have a brain, eo then let ua use it
It la hard work, rapid thinking and
quick judgment which determine the
shot to be played when you have tha
choice of two- of mora.
"ln general play use the shot that cornea
naturaj when all you need Is to get the
Jjiall back, but whenever you, are. out of
Eoaltlon and tha other nun Is In. hit for
I the -unusual and unexpected shot, since if
you mane u you score one, tor youru uu
tak a. point away from your opponent
that he h counting on. which alway haa
difoearaxtog: egtct on him,
If y$ el t bviQua Bfcot you. mi
u&y wmM wiawy. but gtv the other1 w&n
uii utHJftrt?.riUy ttmwik s. JOtt wUh-b, glv
Wn met (.awMens l ycu saust lose
T, TILDEN, 2D
a point, lose It trying foV It and not Just
offering It up aa a sacrifice.
The following points are well to bear
In mind:
First. Make the other man run when
ever possible.
Second. Shoot for this backhand as a
rule, since that Is the weak spot of most
games'.
Third. Aim to make the other man play
from a position he does not wish to, or
a shot he la not used to.
Fourth. Always consider the psycho
logical effect of all shots, even the one
you miss. Remember that If you can
get the other man watching for the un
expected and paying attention to your
game Instead of hla own, that you have
destroyed hla attacking, since that depends
solely on complete concentration to the
person's own game who la attacking.
Fifth, As far as possible never throw
away easy points by trying for the sped
taeular kill or shot. It counts too much
against you tn the psychology of the
game, A mlssc'd easy shot at a critical
time will often give the other man suffi
cient confidence to pull the match out of
the fire while you are still wondering
just why yon missed that shot.

mention one Penn man. For the first time

vanced far enough to enter the .300
division, and the pioneer In this work Is
Bennls, Penn outfielder and former local
scholastlo star.

FIRST INTERSECTIONAL
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
SERIES BEGIN TOMORROW
I i iKaall a I W
Much Depends on Games the Next Two Wee'ks
for Phillies and Athletics Best Road
Team Should Win in National
NOT In years has there been so much
Interest In the first clash between
the East and West In the National nnd
American Leagues. The Bastern teams
of the National League opon their cam
paigns In the West, while the Western end
of the American circuit will take Its
first Bwlng around the Etutt. Results of
the games played within the next two
weeks will enable one tn get an excellent
Idea ob to tho relative strength of teams
of both leagues.
An a rule, It Is possible to get nn ex
cellent Idea as to the relative strength
of the tenms before the first Kast vs.
West clash begins, but this vear the nd
anco dopo has been knocked to pieces.
Teams looked upon ns certain contenders
from Btnrt to flnlRh have gotten off to
such poor starts that It Is n matter of
dnubt If they ever will be able to get
going properly.
The results of tho games of the next two
weeks mean much to the local teams. The
Phillies leave for the West with Brooklyn
nnd Iloston. and possibly two other teams,
abend of them, but the lead la not too
great that Mornn'a men cannot return
home In first plnco If they are aB success
ful on the road this yoar aa they were In
1916.
Good on Iload
Great road work waa largely responsible
for tho pennant winning of tho Phils, as
both Brooklyn and Boston won a larger
percentage of home games. With Indica
tions pointing to a close rnco with at least
five teams standing nn excellent chnnco to
win out, the best road tenm should bo the
winner, and Moran'n men need only to re
pent their road success of 1915 to repeat In
the pennant grind.
It Is unfortunate for tho Phils that.thoy
did not have a few days nt homo prior to
starting on tho trip, as morning batting
practice Is needed badly by the champions.
If the Phlla can recover their "punch" they
have little to fenr with the pitching staff
in splendid shape, but If they fall to find
their strldo, tho trip may pull them back
ao far that It will be a hard matter to
catch up as the league In much stronger
than It was a yoar ago,
Indians Piny Well
The first appearonco of tho Western
teams at Shlbe Park Is awaited with In
terest by the fans, who are convinced thnt
tho Mackmen look Just as good as any
team In the East at the present time
Manager Mack says that tho Athletics
will surprise the fans If tho Western teams
are no stronger than those of the East.
Cleveland -Is playing wonderful ball nt
the present time, having won seven suc
cessive gameR from Detroit and Chicago,
but like the PhllB lant Beason, the Indians
will have to keep up their sensational
work for several weeks before the fans
will look upon them as serious pennant
contenders. The first Eastern trip will
mean much to Cleveland, as a string of
defeats may cause the team to go to
pieces, whereas a successful trip will give
the men the confidence needed to make
the team a contender.
Until last week the 'Western games of
both leagues had been marred by misera
ble pitching, but Judging by the recent ex
hibitions of hurling the pitchers have at
Inst struck their stride. If the Western
tonms had been forced to meet the East
ern teams two weeks ago. It Is likely that
one or two teams would have been elimi
nated from tho race through poor hurling,
as the East, after facing splendid pitching
throughout tho spring, would have found
the Western htirlers easy,
Johnson lo Pitch
Walter Johnson Is scheduled to return
to tho mound against the Athletics this
afternoon, bo there does not seem to be
much chance for rt Mack triumph unless
Elmer Myers can come through with a
shut-out game. With Johnson In such won
derful form, It Is reasonably certain that
the Mnckmcn will not tally more than one
or two runs, and Myera will have to pilch
shut-out ball to give him a chanco for
victory.
If Griffith goes through with his plan
to work Johnson, It Is possible that Mack
may switch to Jack Nabors, In order to
start Myers against Detroit. Nabors was
effective against the Senators In Washing
ton, but may not prove equal to stopping
tho heavy hitting Tigers, while a pitcher
llko Myers, with a splendid curve ball,
mny bother Jerfnlngs' team more.
All of Mack's cripples were out In
uniform this morning. Itube Oldrlng and
"Ml" Crowell, who have been HI, went
through a long workout and the latter
Is nearly ready to take his regular turn
on tho mound. The latter was out long
enough Saturday to cripple Bill Meyer,
who had a finger Bpllt warming up the
Brunonlan. Moyer took part In tho bat
ting practice, but will not do any receiving
for several days.
Honus Lobert, the former Phllly third
baseman, but now of the dlants, who haa
been out of the game with an Injured
knee, also worked out at Shlbe Park thl3
morning. Ho will condition himself with
the Mackmen nnd hopes to rejoin 'the
Olants In tho West.
The most brilliant pitching of the season
In tho West waa the feature of Uie Sunday
games. Fred Toney led with a two-hit
game, but lost to tho Cardinals. lAmea
held the Beds to four safeties, while Well
man and Kanthlener permitted only three,
with Lavender holding Pittsburgh to five
blngles. Wollman, Lavender and Toney
lost their games, though each gave hla
beat exhibition of tho year.
