BtOENT LEADER OF ATHLETICS BECOMES GREATLY EXCITED AFTER VICTORY OVER WHITE
MACK BELIEVES ONE CONSISTENT
; PITCHER MAY MAKE ATHLETICS
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN RACE
Myers and Bush Capable of Continuing Great
Work and Connie Has Faith in Crowell and
Nabors Yesterday's Sensational Victory
N IltS long career' ns n mnnnprer of major lcnpue tinll tenms, Manager Mack, of
tho Athletics, never allowed bo much enthusiasm over tho winning of a bhitio ns
he did after yesterday's triumph over tho White Sox In a contest which wna voted
the most sensational plnyeH In this city In years by B000 fnns. Wo havo seen Mock
Immediately after his famous machine of a few years back had performed some
notable feat, such hs clinching a world's series, but he never nllowed his feelings
tq run away with him as ho did yesterday,
' '"Wasn't that a wonderful game to win?" was Mack's first greeting. "That
Victory was Just what tho boys needed to glvo them confidence. U was a heart
W&aklrig: game, and nfter we had passed up several chances to win t am nfrnld
a, defeat would havo had a bad effect on some of my men. Victories of this sort
over a powerful club llko Chicago sometimes make a team and 1 think that today's
Victory will bring about a genernl Improvement In nil departments.
"If I can find one more strong pitcher for n regular turn, nnd a reliable relief
rtian, wo aro going to glvo them all ii battle. 1 havo great confidence In Crowell
and belevo he will prove the man I need, but If ho falls for tho present, Jack
Nrtbors should bo able to win a few games. He has recovered from his Illness and
will bo ready for work by tho time wo leave for Boston.
'"This first trip Is going to make or break my team. If the hoys do ns well as
they have In tho last two weeks, there Is no telling wlmt may happon. Wo havo
bedtcn tho best team In tho league two straight games through wonderful pitching
nnd if wo continue to get hlghclass pitching, will mako somo people Bit up and
tako notice I havo not scon any team which outclassed us to date. Tho White
Sox and Yankees havo great natural ability and should como fast, but so might
tho Athletics."
Mack Is More Sanguine Than He Will Admit
MACIC Is moro Bangtllno over tho outlook than he Is willing to admit, and
well he might bo rtftcr tho wonderful work of his team yesterday. .Tho
reconstructed team has shown several brilliant flashes within tho last two weeks,
but nothing which compared with yesterday's exhibition. Tho game was truly
tho most sensational played In this city In several seasons, ana the Mackmen
won becauso they novcr gavo up, despite the fact that tho breaks went against
thorn throughout. They kept everlastingly nt it, waiting for the break which they
know surely must como.
Instead of becoming discouraged when they failed In a pinch, tho Mnckmcn
becamo desperate nnd played demoniacal ball In the field. Standing out above all
othors In tho brilliant triumph wero "Bullet Joo" Bush and "Stuffy" Mclnnls.
Charley Pick deserves great credit for driving homo the only run of the hectic
eleven-Inning battle, but his glory was overshadowed by the pitching of Bush
ltd tho fielding of Mclnnls.
Bush, nided by Mclnnls, held the heavy-hlttlng Whlto Sox to threo hits In
eleven Innings, not a single safety being mado nfter Collins singled In tho first
until Jackson got his first hit In tho ninth. Bush was In several tight places, -but
Cither pitched himself out of tho hole or Mclnnls saved him. In the sixth
inning Chicago bad tho bases full with no one out, but failed to score, thanks
to a lightning doublo play, Pick to Meyer to Mclnnls, and Bush's clover pitching
to John Collins.
Sensational Work by Bush and Mclnnis
IK THE ninth, with J. Collins on second and Jackson on first. Bush brought
tho crowd to Its feet by fanning Fournler, who batted for Felsch. A doublo
steal was pulled on the third strike to Fournler nnd Bush was In a very bad
hole, but ho also fanned Weaver on three pitched balls. Bush kept out of
troublo until tho cloventh, when Mclnnls saved the game with one of tho greatest
ploys ho has ever pulled.
Carlier In tho game Mclnnls had made three one-handed catches of poor
throws Into tho runner and tho fans cheered him loudly, Tho ovation for his
work earlier In the gamo was nothing compared to the reception given him
when ho leaped high In the air and pulled down I.elbold's screnmlng lino drive
with his gloved hand. J. Collins and Jackson were on base at the time and both
Would have scored, as Lelbold's drive was labeled for a triple. It was a mar
velous play,
Cicotte appeared to bo discouraged when he went to tho mound for the last
half of the inning. Ho passed Strunk, nnd this cost him tho game. Mclnnls
sacrificed and Lajolo was purposely passed. When Walsh filed to Lelbold It
looked as it another inning would be played, but Charley Pick, who has been
doing great work in the pinches, laced the ball over second for a single. Strunk
easily: heat -elbofd'p throw to the plate.
Jf.t
Phils Lose a Tough One, But Giants Continue on Streak
AIi MAMAUX broke the Phillies' winning streak yesterday, and as the Dodgers
il won from Chicago, tho champions lost some ground. As the Braves were
again beaten by Cincinnati, Moron's men are still only a few points below Stallings'
team. The Phils could do little with Mamaux, who has proved particularly effec
tive against the champions In tho last two seasons.
George McQuillan, who apposed Mamaux, pitched another splendid game.
The breaks wero against McQuillan, however, and he unfortunately grooved a
fast ball for Carey with Mamaux on first In tho eighth Inning. Carey smashed It
to the bleachers In right for a home run, winning the game.
While the Pirates succeeded in breaking the Phillies' streak, the Cardinals
again fell before the Giants, who won their ninth consecutive victory. Tho work
of McQraw's team Is marvelous when one considers that It was apparently out
of the race and disorganized when It departed for tho West. Not a game has been
lost in the "West, which Is one of the grentest feats of recent years.
. Witt Not Responsible for Breaking Up of Rally
MANY of the fans were inclined to blame Witt for Strunk being caught off
second in the first inning, but wo do not think Witt made a mistake in
remaining on third. Witt wns on third and Strunk on second, with no one out.
when Mclnnls rolled an easy grounder to McMullln. Ordinarily it would have been
tho proper thing for Witt to make a dash for tho plate, as Strunk would advance
to third if tho man was retired at the plate; but as It happened, it was evident
to all that Witt had no chance to score, which Strunk was In an excellent posi
tion to see.
By remaining on third Witt forced McMullln to make a long throw, which
might have gone astray. Strunk had the play right in front of him, and thus
bad plenty of time to get back to second while McMullln was making his throw,
but Amos did not seem to grasp the situation. The result was a double play
which broke up a promising rally. It was one of the several excellent chances
passed up by tho Mackmen early in tho gamo.
Washington Scribe Predicts Pennant, for Griffith's Team
UTT la not going to bo a difficult matter to win the Americnn League pennant
-L this year. There are a lot of overrated teams in the race which will be
unable to stand up nnd hold their own against a team like the Nationals, for
Instance. The picking has been easy to date. Most of the clubs nre so weak
that there is not any comparison with the strong clubs, and this will be proved
before the season Is much older.
"If Washington can keep up its present pace and there is no reason why
It should not It ought to bq out in front by a comfortable margin In a few
weeks, and, once there, should bo able to stay at the top until the end of the
season.
"There are no clubs which have anything on the Grlffmen. The locals are
playing a high grade of ball, and If tho breaks come their way there is nothing
to stop them from leading tho procession In October. Boston, New York, Chicago
Et. Louis and Detroit are virtually eliminated from the race by reason of their
Inability to get good pitching.
"This leaves the race between Washington and Cleveland, and thero is no
comparison in tho pitching strength of these two teams. This means that
in duo time there must be a change In the situation, which for several weeks
apparently has been in the hands of the Indians." By Ed Grillo In the Wash
ington Star,
Black Believes His Team Will Beat Washington
JUDGING by the above, the Athletics' are pot even In tho league. The Mack
men are making no pennant claims and no one believes they have a chance to
win it. but there is one gentleman absolutely certain that the Athletics will
finish higher than tho Senators, and that party is Connie Mack. The wizard
manager cannot see "Washington as a pennant contender and believes that his
. team, will overhaul the Senators by the middle of August. If Washington is as
good aa Mr. Grillo believes and Mack's prediction Is as near the mark as Is gen
erally the case, then well what's the use of thinking of anything like that so
early in the year.
Alsworth, Mack's recruit who is summering at New Haven, under the wing
of Danny Murphy, added another shut-out victory to his list when he held
Portland to two htt on Wednesday and handed out nine blanks.

But Mrs. Barlow's Title
Looks Safe in Next
Week's Bouts
COBB'S RECORD IS LIKELY
TO STAND ACID TEST OF
ALL BASEBALL HISTORY
Ty Has Already Led American League Nine
Consecutive Years in Batting and Has
Chance to Make It Ten
By GRANTLAND RICE
TWO WOMEN HAVE CHANCE
By SANDY McNIBLICK
A miracle might happen.
Byt that Is about the only thlnpr that
can tty away with the slightly rakish crown
worn by Sirs. Ronald Barlow, present
champion, when tho women's frolf cham
pionships of Philadelphia are fought out
once more over the links of the Whltemarsh
Valley Country Club, beginning Monday
and laBtlng till Friday of next week.
Still, a lone youngster pitted against two
of the greatest golf wizards of tho day.
Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, toppled
nvsr tha Invaders when Francis Oulmet
trounced the Britishers who would have
taken away America's supreme golfing
honors.
Also, tho Pennsylvania team knocked out
Father Dona comDletely last fall when it
worsted the New Unglanders in the Lesley
Cup Interstate team matches.
And last, but even moro remarkable, one
Herbert B. Newton, Frankford golflst, won
out once upon a time In a bitter golf
match with Al Ehret when the former was
G down and 0 to go.
There are two women golfers who seem
to have the best chanco of divesting Mrs.
Barlow of her proud title, and they are
Miss Mildred Caverly, of the Cricket Club,
nnd Mrs. Caleb Fox, of Huntingdon Valley.
The latter, however, has not yet been able
to get under way, despite her earnest ef
forts to do the same. She has spent the
paBt week in bolstering up her approach
putting nnd has taken lessons from Tutor
Dave Cuthbert, but her game has scarcely
reached the form she showed when she beat
Mrs. Clarence Vanderbeck.
Miss Caverly has proved the sensation
of the season.
The fair young champion of the Cricket
Club beat Mrs. Fox this week and had Mrs.
Barlow 2 down In a recent match at the
15th, only to be beaten on the laBt hole
when sha got Into some mighty rough on
the west course at Merlon that cost her two
strokes and the deciding hole.
Mrs. G. II, Stetson, Miss Eleanor Chan
dler, Miss Anita Phlpps, Miss May Bell,
Miss Florence McNeely, Miss Ethel Camp
bell and a dozen others all have a chance
to get along pretty far In the going, but
the real struggle looks to be between the
nTst-mentloned three, with Mrs. Barlow the
favorite at odds of about I to 1000.
Mrs. J. E. Tattersfleld, champion of
Whltemarsh. has been practicing to make
a good, showing on her own course, and had
a fine round yesterday afternoon.
But the chance of a "dark horse coming
through, without the aid of the miracle,
Is about that of an IrJsU rebel these days
In the Tower of London.

Senators Drop Pitcher Jack Bentley
WASHINGTON. .May., ,20. Jack Uentley,
aoutbpaw pitcher of tha Waihlncton Americana,
naa been turned over to too Mtnneapolla
American Aasoclatlon, under an optional asre-
Kent llentley waa with Wlnneupolla moat of
at aeaaon.
IT HAS been snlrt that no man can set n
mark that somo ono Inter on will not
wreck. This may bo true. Ono mnn nets
what looks to be a limit, nnd then another
arrives, passes on bejond thnt limit, only
to bo surpassed In turn.
But If any record In baseball Is to stnnd,
wo Rhouhl say It would bo the record set by
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, If tho Georgian Is
able to lead the American League again this
season and mako it 10 years to a row.
Cobb's Leading Ambition
Cobb so far has led the American Lcnguo
nt bat fop nine consecutive campaigns. If ho
finishes first ngaln this season he will havo
his 10-year reign established.
To appreclato the magnitude of this un
dertaking, consider tho following facts:
1. Hans Wagner at his best was only
able to lead four successive years nt bat.
2. Nap Lajole, tho slugging Frenchman,
was only able to establish two unbroken
years of leadership.
3. Such mighty sluggers as Delohnnty,
Anson, Burkett, Heldrlck were never able
to lead live yenrs in succession.
4. Cobb, In establishing his supremacy,
has been batting In a lengtio which lias of
fered him for rivalry such hitters ns La
jole, Collins, Speaker, Jackson, Baker,
Crawford where any off year meant suro
removal from tho top.
5. Cobb has been batting his way
through a league that has known such pitch
ers as Johnson, Waddell, Joss, Walsh, Dono
van, Wood, Leonard, Bender, Coombs, Plank
nnd many others.
He came to a league that for 10 years
has been replete with great pitching nnd
tine bntsmen, where the test has been a
keen one, and yet for nlno ears he tins led
n Held nt bat that has offered over COO op
ponents. The Tenth Year
Cobb Is going to try and lead his league
every year ho playp baseball, but ho feels
now that if he can put away his tenth con
secutive year on top thero will be no sting
In being displaced, He may change his
mind later on when he Is fnally beaten out,
but that Ib the way ho feels about It just
now.
But he wants that ten-year title badly.
And unless there la a decided change, the
man to give him battle for the top Avlll bo
none other than Tris Speaker. Eddie Col
lins has gotten away to a poor start. Frank-)
Baker hasn t been quite up to old form, and
Joe Jackson doesn't quite look to be the
dangerous factor he was two or threo years
ago when ho wns T.X's main rival.
But Speaker haB gathered unto himself
a new ambition. The stalwart Texan Is not
only hitting the bnll beyond his best years,
but ho is working with greater earnestness
than ho has over shown before nnd Is tak
ing a keener Interest in his play. So It
begins to look ns If Cobb and Speaker wero
to set the pace In the younger league, nnd
ns great as tho Tcan Is, wo doubt very
much that ho can outpace Cobb when Ty
onco swings into his stride.
Who Will Bent It?
If Ty leads his league again, what epoch
of tho gnmo is to produce a man who can
beat this mark? Wagner and Lajole were
supermen at bat, nnd thoy have been nt
It for 20 years, yet neither has been nblo
to equal half this reign In the merry king
dom of Swat.
To beat out 125 major league ballplayers
every year for 10 years Is something moro
than a prodigious task. It Is tho one rec-
ord, If there Is any such, that will never
bo benten until even Time Itself Is too gray
and feeble to continue tho Journey.
Cobb so far has played in exactly H1G
blg-Ieague games, nnd in thnt time has
pounded out 1976 base hits, an nverage of
nlmo3t 1 hits to each gamo of his career.
Speaker's Chance
Trls Speaker has started out to give Cobb
a battle all tho way through the stretch.
Speaker batted .383 In 1912 and .3G6 In 1913.
He fell below those heights In 1014 and
1915, but 1910 finds Trls back upon another
rampage.
Just at present he Is only a shade under
.400, and he is hitting the ball with greater
confidence than he has ever shown. There
seems to be something In the atmosphere
of Cle eland that produces batting great
ness, for tho two who camo closer to nip
plnj Ty were Lajolo in 1910 and Jackson in
1911, both batting under Cleveland's ban
ner.
There Is a chance that Speaker will sue.
ceed where Lajole and Jackson failed, but
he will 11 nd little time to rest until October,
If the gay and festive trick 1b to bo turned.
A Near Record
Some days ago In a local club tourna
ment1 a certain golfer camo In very much
elated.
"Whnt did you get?" some one asked.
"I tied my best mark at 90," he answered
cheerfully, "nnd I would have had an easy
95 If they hadn't caught me cheating on
tho 17th green."
"QIG HI)" WALSH, ono of tho greatest
JD pitchers tho gamo has known and who
wns responsible for scores of victories for
s. tho Whlto Sox in the
past, yrslcrday leaned
his 192 pounds ot bono
nnd muscjo ngnlnst the
Bhort railing .which
marks tho boundary line
between tho playing
field nnd the grnndstnnd
nt Shlbo Park. "Big
Ed" was not playing. He
had tufted a few files to
the outfield beforo tho
games began and then
retired to tho sidelines

doing hls, save) on n few momentous occa
sions, for tho past four yoarB ever slnco
1 Is shoulder "went back" on him nnd re
fused to stand tho strain of n hard nine
Innlng battle.
Not nn Invalid
"Big Ed" did not look llko nn Invalid,
Instead, lie appeared to be tho highest typo
of athlete clear-eyed, cicar-sklnnod, with
every movo denoting grnco nnd freedom
of action. Ho seemed ready to get Into
the gntnc at a moment's notice rather than
acting the role of Involuntary spectator.
Walsh was watching Larry Lajole, who
played years before ho ever dreamed of
breaking into tho big lengue, cavorting
nroiind second bnBC llko a youngster at tho
beginning of his career. Ho taw Lnjry
toss out the first two batters with shame
ful easo nnd heaved a long sigh.
"Pretty good for nn old mnn," wo ven
tured when Schnlk was out by a mllo.
"They say that Larry today'la bettor than
ho has been In yenrs."
Regarding Sir. Walsh
"Ves, that's true." replied "Big Ed." "And
yet they say they never como back. Lajolo
is nn example and look nt Hans Wngner
nnd Eddlo Plank I They'ro pretty actlvo
for old men, aren't they? I could go on and
namo many others, but thero Is only one
in particular that I wish to talk about.
His namo is Ed Walsh, nnd take it from
mc, he's 'coming back' and ho'll come back
strong. This Is not Idle gossip, for I mean
every word I say. I KNOW that I am In
better condition than I have been In years,
and you will see for yourself within a
month or so.
"Somo peoplo are contented with looking
back over the past and patting themselves
bn tho back for what they have done, but
It Is not no with me. Tho past Is dead, so
far ns I am concerned, nnd I nm gnzlng
Into the future with as much" hope and en
thusiasm as tho lowliest rooklo on tho
team.
"When my nrm failed mo four years ago
I naturally was disappointed. I wasn't
discouraged, however, and I set out to get
cured. I KNEW that I would recover
nnd was In no way affected by tho numer
ous reverses. I worked with that ono ob
ject in view and wns rewarded last Sunday
when I pitched three innings tit Now Haven.
My nrm felt just as strong as It ever did,
my spltter was breaking lino nnd my curves
were under control. After the game I felt
no ill effects, and nm ready now to take
ms turn In tho box when Rowland wants
me."
"Big Ed" Is Sincere
Wnlsh was not bragging when he said
this. Ho wns sincere, nnd his words car
ried conviction with them. It seemed
strange for a man who holds a modern
pitching record for one season, 35 games
won and many others saved In the last
couple of innings when the other pitchers
got Into trouble, ngalnst only 12 defeats, to
talk so enthusiastically about his future,
