New York's Sensational Winning Streak Probably,
Will Be Broken in This City If McGraw's
x . Team Survives Boston Series
f. .
StJt tveeks ago the New York Giants made their nrst appearance of tho season
in this Htv. The fans wero very much Interested In McOraw's team because
' at tho addition of Benny Kauff, Ed Xtoush, 13111 Rarlden and Oeorgo Anderson,
- .,.. ... nt ho Federal LeaKue. They expected much ot McCJraw's team and
. really were not disappointed, as the Giants played sptendld "ball hero despite tho
"handicap of erratic pitching. It waft here that they won one of tho two victories
aalned in tho first IB games played, when Jeff Tesreau blanked the Phils.
Th,e fans voted Kauff, Roush and Rarlden stars, but Andorson did not look
u quite bo good, while Fletcher at short nppcared to be slowing down and McQraw
was experimenting at third. It Was easy to sco that there was an unusual amount
of natural strength In tho New York line-up, but tho pitching staff was In such
poor shape that McGraw seemed to be In very much tho samo position as Hughey
Jennings la In at Detroit, with a great scoring machine,, but a miserable pitching
start.
As we predicted before the season opened tho Giants were the mystery of
theNatlonal League race. Wo stated that It would either be a rank falluro or a
league sensation, depending entirely upon the work of the Federal Leaguers.
, Mathewson'a condition and, whether tho addition of Anderson would give McGraw
s. strong pitching staff. At the start of tho season It looked very much as If none
"of the thrco doubtful points of the team would materialize, and 13 of the first 15
games played wcro lost.
Charley Dooln brought the pitching staff around In good shape, and tomorrow,
when the Giants make their second appearance of the i-eaaon In this city, the
fans will sco a team which Is no longer a question mark, but one which Is a serious
menace to the Thlllles In the pennant race. Sixteen, straight victories, alt won
fcway from home, Ib tho record McGraw"3 team boasta of today, and local fans
hope that the streak Is unbroken when tho Giants appear here tomorrow. If such
Is the cose, It Is likely that all locat attendance records for a morning nnd after
noon holiday double-header will bo broken,
Giants Wasting Mnny Hits
THE Phillies aro not hitting ns well as expected, and unless there Is a sudden
improvement tho pitchers will carrV a heavy burden, as tho Giants havo been
hitting at a terrific clip. Considering tho number of hits and total bases made by
the Giants recently, comparatively few Tuna havo been scored, which may mean
that JIcGraw's team Is very much llko Brooklyn in tho matter of wasting hits.
Brooklyn has a much more poworful hitting team than tho Phillies, yet Moran's
men, by playing up-to-date ball and constantly switching the attack, can get more
runs, all brenks and tho opponents' pitching being oven.
Tho detailed account of New York's recent games, taken from New York
evening papers,, shows three things which would lead one to believe that McGraw
expects his team to slug Its way to tho pennant. They are the discarding of the
racrlflco oven for a squeeze play, the falluro of base runners to take two bases
on a slnglo dcsplto the numerous speedy and clever base runners, and the con
tinual 'use of tho hit and run play.
A system of this sort Is eftcctlvo when a team has so many powerful hitters
providing the pitching holdB up, but when It strikes a batting slump and tho
pitchers ore going poorly, a combination playing this stylo of ball has a hard time
Getting results. This was, proved with Detroit last season and with tho Giants In
the early part of tho present campaign.
Meredith Pcnn's One Redemption
WHAT a barren year It was for Pennsylvania on the trackl If It had not
been for tho presenco of tho wonderful Meredith on the Red nnd Blue team
the spectators at tho lntercolleglates and the followers of track athletics through
out tho country would hardly havo known that Pennsylvania competed. No
credit Is due any one Taut Meredith for his wonderful work. Ho ran nd trained
as ho saw fit and proved himself the greatest mlddlo distance runner of all time.
Meredith has not broken Maxey Long's world's 440 dash record of 47 seconds
flat for the straightaway, but probably will If ho ever gets a chance under good
conditions, and there Is not an expert In the country who believes that there ever
. was a middle-distance man who could defeat the Penn flyer. Long was a marvel,
but ho was pushed to his limit often and this resulted In the record breaking,
'"wnereas no one knows JuBt how fast Meredith can travel.
His endurance is marvelous. No matter how many heats be may run, he
always has the reserve force to shake off a challenging runner. If the field Is
Blow, Meredith's time Is generally slow; but as was the coso when the Red and
'Blue flier shattered the world's half-mllo record In tho Penn-Cornoll dual meet
nnd the 440 mark (on a circular track) on Saturday, when tho field Is fast and
1b pushed Meredith Is able to go Just a tiifle faster. Unless a new star suddenly
blossoms forth, Meredith probably never will bo forced to his limit
Meredith, like Nate Cartmell, Is a racer. He Is always just a little stronger
than his opponents and must be closely pressed to break records. After hla
freshman year, when he ran second to Shlck, of Harvard, In the 100 and 220-yard
dashes In the lntercolleglates, Cartmell never lost another race, but as there xvas
no one to 'push him he seldom ran the 100 better than 10 seconds flat. If the com
petition had been close he probably would have been a record holder. Meredith
' has not reached his limit, and let us hopo that there will be some ono to push him
whilo he is in his prime, and he will not retire unbeaten before he has reached his
limit, as was' the case with Cartmell.
Harry Howell Discovers "Sight" Players
TREDIT for the following la due BUI Hanna, of the New York Sun:
J "An interesting classification of baseball players Is made by Harry Howell, the
former pitcher and umpire. He strikes and expounds an Idea both original and
attractive. It arranges players In two classes, the ordinary kind and 'sight'
players. The 'sight' players, he says, are scarce and nre tho real stars. Mathew
on, Cobb, McGraw who, Howell avers, knows more baseball than any other
manager In the country are or were 'sight' players. They are that because
when a play is being made or Is about to be made they can take one sweeping
sight of the field and know just what to do. One comprehensive glance and they
con turn their backs and know the next move to make. Cobb, we should say, Is
not only a 'sight' player, but a damslght player."
It Is said that Everett Smalley, Central High School's unusual young hurdler
and all-around track star, has decided to enter Cornell Instead of Penn, as reported
some time ago. ThlB youngster is the most consistent scholastic performer in the
East and a lad with great possibilities. Some one should Interest him in Penn be
fore he gets away. There are too many good scholastic stars of this city going
elsewhere to shine in the athletic world.

Miss Molla BJurstedt, the women's national grass, clay court and indoor
tennis champion, completely outclassed Mrs. Edward Raymond in the final round
of the, women's Invitation tournament on tho Pelham Country Club's courts on
Saturday, and proved conclusively that- airs. Rowland, who was looked upon as
the coming champion, must improve greatly to take Miss BJuratedt's title.
Fletcher Low, the former Dartmouth player who was sent to Springfield, of
thevaatern League, by the Boston Braves In order that he might get some needed
experience, recently made the longest hlO ever seen in Bridgeport when he poled
the ball over the left field fence with the bases full nnd won a game. Bridgeport
la one of the oldest baseball cities In the United States and many sluggers In the
old days played on the same field, yyt only two balls have been hit over the fence.
Danny Murphy, former captain of the Athletics, put a ball over this wall in 1902,
Just before he Joined the Mackmen, while Koley Miller, a Phlladelphlan, turned
the trick In 1907. Since that time no ball has even hit the fence.
One of the big features of a moat important day In collegiate athletics was
the wonderful come-back of Cornell's varsity crew; which defeated Yale and
Princeton on Cayuga Lake on Saturday, The most remarkable part of the victory
was that the crew which won for Cornell was classed as the third varsity eight
nntll Thursday night, when Courtney announced the make-up of the crew which
would row against the Ella and Tigers. Was It a well-planned surprise by Coach
Courtney, who has been covering up hlB real crew while the "vareiltyii was show-

Lew Tendler, the newsboy boxer and beat
of the local bantam ileld, makes his final
bow of the season in ring nttlrc tonight,
and it probably will be his last nm.caninco
as a contender for Kid 'Williams' laurels.
Lew Is only a youngster, still In IiIh teons,
nnd by the time the 1916-17 campaign rolls
around he will have ndded sufficient weight
to enter the division ruled by John P. Kll-bane.
Tho newsboy southpaw meets a rugged,
arsressivc and ever-punching antagonist In
Al Shubert, tho Now Englander, In the
star bout at tho Olympla tonight. Tendler
was defeated In only one set-to this year
against Benny Kaufman but soveral weeks
later he came back and more than evened
tha score with Benjamin.
Hard punching will be the feature of tho
semlwlndup between Willie Moore and
Sammy Robldeau. Both possess knockout
wallops, 'and the victor will have a good
claim to tho welterweight title of Philadel
phia. The Olympla will close for the season
next Monday night with Benny Kaufman
vs. Johnny Ertle In the windup.

SHOET HOLES AT WHITEMARSH
PROVE TO BE TICKLISH PLAYING
FOR SH-SHIVERING GOLFERS
Delicate Shots Required
By Panicky Players.
Public Course Inspect
ed Today
Ry SANDY McNIBLICK
THE beautiful course at the Whltcmarsh
Valley Country Club Is rapidly forging to
tho front as a Units of considerably moro
than scenic beauty. The changes this year
havo brought It along to decided champion
ship possibilities.
There are two short holes there that re
quire about the daintiest strokes of any of
tho one-shot holes Inrtho city. The re
modeled 9th Is ono Jpd the other Is tho
12th. They aro "no nice mark" for a golfs
man with trembling elbows or shivery
flanks.
Nearly all thoso that followed tho play
In tho championships last week enthused
over the 9th holes which had stood as an
Incorrect hole for soasons. The greon has
been raised bo that It Is no longer blind
from the toe. As tho hole now stands, tho
fairway runs, bctwoen banks near tho hole,
In a hollow and the green Ib terraced abovo
sand pits which surround It. A running
lino of snnd squares guards tho approach.
All the material for tho construction was
obtained from other changes made on tho
course from turf to sand, so that the ex
pense Involved In building tho hole was
simply tho labor.
Hole Built at Low Coat
Tho total oxpenso of' the hole from its
first building when the course was con
structed has been less than $500, accord
ing to L. P. Doming, who helped to plot
the changes.
"The cost of rebuilding the hole was
about 250," he said. "It Is now one of
our best holes."
It takes a fine shot to make a correct
pitch to the hole. It Is easily overcarrled
and a shot not quite "up" means a bitter
pitch from the sand.
The 12th hole also requires a delicate
shot to the green. It Is on a high crest
overlooking the rest of the course and there
Is generally a good breeze ready to throw
the pitch out of bounds, which runs snugly
along tho fairway right up to the hole.
If tha winds blow the other way the ball
Is tossed Into the rough on the loft and a
too-strong out Is likely to go out of bounds.
About the only way to play Is to land the
green, and this Ib not always possible to
the golfer that wishes with all his soul to
claim a par 3 for the hole. The heights of
the short 16th also present many possi
bilities for the player who Is being harassed
and a 3 for the holfe Is the exception rather
than the rule.
i
Public Course Ready
The volunteer committee of golf leaders
and experts of this city, together with
members of the Falrmount Park Commis
sion, Inspected the public links at Cobb's
Creek today to make a final examination
of the course before It Is thrown open.
The members of the committee are Rob
ert TV. Lesley, chairman; Hugh 'VVIUon, A.
H. Smith, John MT- Pepper, Oeorge C.
Klauder and Alan Corson. The course has
been constructed under Jesse T, Vogdes,
chief engineer of the Park Commission.
No player will be allowed to begin play
except from the first tee, and each player
is limited to the use of one ball. Two
players will not be permitted to p'lay with
a single set of clubs.
Children will not be permitted on tho
course, but any person 16 years of age or
over may play on tho course for a regis
tration fee of a dollar, A permit tag Is
then given for one year, which must be
Bhown before teeing off. Any person not
having a tag will be required to pay 50
cents for the use of the golf course and
clubhouse accommodations for one day or
part thereof. Any holder of a permit may
obtain the use of a locker on payment of

DORSEY, NON-LETTER
MAN, IS PENN LEADER
Quaker Relay Member May Bo
Given Insignia for
Indoor Work
Prank J. Dorsey Is Pennsylvania's newly
elected track captain. All precedents were
broken when the members of the, team that
competed In the annual intercollegiate con
tests at Cambridge returned the ballot for
Dorsey as leader of the Red and Blue on
the cinder path for the 1916-1917 season, as
Dorsey has yet to win his varsity letter.
He had not won a first place lh any of
the dual meets all spring, nor did he place
In the lntercolleglates.
There were quite a number of men on
the team that had won their Insignia, but
all of these were passed up In order that
Dorsey might be returned the captain.'
Frank has boen a hard worker throughout
the three years he has been competing for
the Red and Illue, and it was mainly
his personality and etlcktottlveness that
secured the captaincy for him.
During the last Indoor season Dorsey
was a member of both the one and two mile
relay teams, and as the Quakers won easily
every race they competed In, there is a
possibility the Athletic' Association may
award the newly elected captain his letter
by reason of his most creditable indoor
performances.

How Jinny More
For n ball club to drop 13 out of 15 and
then for that samo" club to win 10 straight
with tho rush yet unbroken Is something
new, not only under tho sun, but In a gamo
that has about exhausted 'all tho freak' In
cidents of play. It Is easily tho most
astounding revcrsnl basebalt has ever
known, nnd baseball has known Its sharo,
being that sort of a gamo.
Tho Giants now need only four moro
victories to tlo tho Provldonco record made
In 1884.' In that year, playing In tho Na
tional League, Provldonco started August
7 and went through unbeaten to September
C. Its victims Included NewlTork, Phila
delphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit nnd
Buffalo.
Tho Giants, under such terrific hendway,
havo a chanco to beat this record. But It
is n tough ono, as thoy' must run against
Grovor Clevolnnd Alexander on next Tues
day In Philadelphia. They will probably
draw Rudolph Monday, and Alexander Is
ono of Tuesday's affairs, a hard doublo
hurdlo to take. But a club that can como
from a percentage of .143 to 16 straight
Is llablo to ovorwhelm any opposition. It
Is a club well beyond any reach of tho
eternal dopo, however elastic said dopo
may be.
Always having had the punch, this Giant
club has shown pitching consistency wo
never dreamed of. For thrco weeks Mc
Graw couldn't find a pitcher able to last
five rounds. Now tho ontlro stable Is run
ning amuck without a quiver anywhero
along the route, 'doing as valiant seWlce
as the team's run getters and deserving as
much pralso.
The Flag Dreamers
It was generally conceded back In March
that both big loagues this season would
know closer and bettor races than thoy had
produced In 1008. But no one over figured
that as many clubs by tho edge of Juno
would still bo considered with pennant
chances.

PENN JINE MEETS
TIGERS TOMORROW
Contest Will Be Staged on
Franklin Field Decoration
Day, 2:30 P. M.
Princeton's formidable baseball team will
Invade Franklin Field tomorrow afternoon
in an effort to send the colors of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania nine trailing in
the dust in their second contest ot the
season. Tomorrow's contest will be called
at 2:30 p. m., sharp, and Coach Roy
Thomas' ball tossers will be awaiting the
approach of the ferocious jungle quadru
ped with anxiety and it will be a lucky
beast that escapes from Old Penn's clutches
w)th a whole hide. Billy Penn's -pra.'eges
are out for revenge, and revengq they are
due to have. Old Nassau was the victor In
tho last contest between the two teams
three weeks ago by the close score of 5
to 4, but the Quakers are determined that
the orange and black of Princeton must
be, lowered from the collegiate baseball
mast this time.
