ILLIES FACED MOST CONSISTENT PITCHING OF THE SEASON IN SERIES WITH BROOKLYN
j i , i , , 1 , p; . .
liEAND FORM OF BROOKLYN
PITCHING STAFF MAKES TEAM
DANGEROUS FLAG CONTENDER
foodgers Have Strengthened Weakest Point in
Powerful Machine, Robinson' Now Having Five
Dependable and Experienced Hurlers
H ii-i.i.. ..-..--
WHATEVER one miy hav thought of Brooklyn's pennant chances a few
?ek ago, any person who caw tho four pames played against tho Phillies
HWrt admit that Wllbert Roblnbon'o team Is a most serious contender for the
Itotf, and the team which beats trie Dodgers will win the pennant. Just how good
.Ifcetrklyn's chance la depends entirely upon whether Manager Robinson can
kftnola his pitchers properly. '
0 Brooklyn had an excellent chance to win the pennant last season, but Robin
on handled his pitchers poorly am1 his mainstays were not there when called
Upon for a driving .finish. Barrlns: the battery men, Brooklyn was conceded to
havo One of tho most powerful teams In the country this year, and the past
ertes proved conclusively that Robinson has pitchers and plenty of them. It Is up
to him to handle them properly.
Thero nro ono or two spots In the Brooklyn team which might "be strengthened,
but whero one player may be a ti Illo below form as a fielder ho makes up for the
deficiency in batting. Thero Is net a player on tho team who does not havo
ome redeeming featuro to his play which makes him stand out prominently,
arid the only thing that appears to be below tho championship standard is tho
thinking ability of a fow men who aro occupying Important positions In tho
batting order.
Brooklyn has tho necessary balance; It Is an experienced team, and while
H may pull some bad errors of Judgment nt times, It Is not a team which will
go to pieces In a pinch. In fact, aside from tho pitchers, tho Dodgers always
have proved a team which Is at Its best In a critical scries. Terhaps ono or two of
the Dodgers may havo been playing above their normal speed In the last series,
but, all things considered, It looked like a mighty powerful team, and tho Phils
havo iheir work cut out for them to beat Robinson's team.
, ...
Five Pitchers in Great Trim
AS STATED before, Brooklyn did not appear to have enough good twlrlers at
. tho start of tho season, but without calling upon ono of the most consistent
young pitchers In the National League, Manager Robinson trotted out four hurlers
Who baffled the Phillies. "Wheczer" Dell, who had shut out the Phillies twlco
this season, was not oven called upon to face the champions, as Manager Robinson,
profiting by his mistakes of 1015, Ir working his hurlora In order, and seldom
calls upon a regular out of turn, even for relief duty.
In tho four games against Smith, PfefYer, Coombs and Cheney, tho Phillies
scored only six runs and wero held to a total of 20 hits, or an average of flvo per
game. Eight of these hits wore made off Southpaw Smith In tho. first gamo of
i the series, but they produced only ono run. Fortunately for tho Phillies, Aloxandor
' the Great was on tho mound It this game, and the ono run gave tho champions
a' victory.
Ono may get the Impression that tho Phillies failed to defeat the Dodgers
because they wero In a batting slump but such was not the case. It always Is a
question whether the failure of a team to hit Is duo to Its own batting slump, or
, whether the other pitcher has Just a trifle more "stuff" than a team has been
facing. In this case wo believe that the scarcity of base hits was duo entirely to
tho latter, as Brooklyn's pitchers i-howed better control (barring the first Inning
of Pfeffer'a game) and more "atull" than any staff appearing In this city this
Mason, both leagues included.
Thg'absenco of Captain Luderus from every game, and tho failure of Stock
" to take his legular place In three of the four was a great handicap to tho
' Fhllltes, and may have taken a,ay much of their confidence, but Whltted
played wonderful ball at first, while Bobby Byrno played a faultless game at
third. Cooper's work In centre field was off color, but there Is some excuso for this,
" as ho is unaccustomed to playing the position In the Phllly park.
....
Cooper's Misjudgments Wero Excusable
CUTFTELDERS who ha"e been p'aylng In the National League for years aro
7 of tho opinion that centre and right field at the Phllly park are the two
hardest fields In the entire country for. an outfielder to judge a ball. They con
".tend "that because the field Is built in a hollow, below the street level, the ball Is
concealed from them In tho riadow of the high stands until It gets well up In
then!.-.
It was appiront that Cooper could not get tho range In the last series, as
ral times he stood still, appaiently waiting to make the catch, when he sud
denly discovered that the ball was either over his head or In front of him. Cooper
looks like a mighty good ball player, and tho fans should be patient and give htm
r. chance to strike his stride. Any player who can hit, field and run tho bases as
consistently as Cooper did In the Federal League must have the natural ability,
and Pat Moron will get it out In time
Cooper's slight mlsjudgmenl of Johnstone's long fly gave tho Dodgers a two
run lead yesterday, or Eppa Rixey might have won his game. But, then, it must
be considered that both of the Phllly runs wero due to Brooklyn errors, and that if
both pitchers had been given perfect support the game would have resulted In
u l-to-0 defeat, anyway.
...
Rixey Looked Better Than Ever
RtXET pitched splendid ball, ami It really was strango that Brooklyn secured
so many hits. He had a better fast ball than he has shown In three years,
but It was this delivery that the Dodgers hit. Rlxey's curve ball was not breaking
so well when he needed It, but Ills fast ball was great. It was a hard game for
Rlxey to lose, but It -would haVo been a harder one If Cheney had lost It after
pitching so well.
Aa-a rule, Cheney passes anywhere from six to twelve men a game, but yes
terday hla control was almost perfect. He walked NIehoff and Whltted, and hit
Cravath, but the latter gift was the only ono which was due to wlldness on the
part of Cheney. Whltted and Ntcboff drew passes, because runners were on
base when they stepped to the plate, and Cheney preferred passing them to groov
ing the ball. He tried to mako both hit at bad balls until he worked himself into
a -hole, and then wisely walked tnum
One striking feature of the game was W'llbert Robinson's excellent Judgment
in pulling Stengel from the game end substituting Jimmy Johnstone, because a
southpaw was on the mound for the Phils. Last season Robinson seldom pulled
anything of this sort, and that Is why the Dodgers lost so many games by one run.
Johnstone drove In the first rur. with a triple, and was responsible for the other
tally made la the first Inning. He also contributed two singles.
Giants Tie, Record Made by Senators
IN TTTING the winning streik made by "Washington. In 19X2, the New York
aianta performed a feat which experts declared never would be repeated in the
hjatpry of baseball. They argued that the Senators were favored by all 'the breaks
when they won IT games In succession on the road, and that In these days of
pitching supremacy no team could go that far without bumping against a
twtrler upon whom they could not score, but the Giants accomplished the feat.
5 It was fitting that Christy Mathewson should pitch the 17th victory, and
that he should turn the trick with a. shut-out victory, Matty apparently has
come back for good, as he has done wonderful work since the Giants started on
the winning streak. When the present season opened there did not seem to be a
cutanea for the famous veteran to come back, and there was hardly a scribe, player
cr fan In the country, aside from Nev York, who believed Matty had a chance, but
tey reckoned without considering the heart and fighting spirit of this marvel.
When the news, was flash1! to 'he Phllly Park that Matty was pitching In Bos
ton, a crowd of spectators flocked about the press box to get the lnnlng-by-lnnlng
score before It wa posted on the scoreboard, and there were loud cheers from
the crowd when the final score was posted, despite the fact that the victory
shoved the Phillies down further In the race. All the world loves a winner,
particularly when the winner is a record, breaker,
...
Whltted'a unfarolllarlty with the first-base position gave the Dodgers their
final run. Had Whltted been a regular first baseman he would have handled
Myers slow grounder in the eighth, depending upon Rlxey to cover the has.
IiiCead, ha ran over to cover first after having started for the ball. It went
through for a single, and Myers eventually scored on Daubert's sacrifice and
"Wbat's hit after two men had been retired.
.Bill Klllefer made two splendid throws to second yesterday, and there did
pt appear to be anything wrong with his pegging, excepting that he Is holding
laic too much. It is better for the brilliant receiver to hold back a trine now than
slto too many chances before hls,arm is strong-.

not election time.
The overpowering majority of sport
cravers In the Quaker City will be at the

Golfers In this section of Philadelphia
County and vicinity are viewing with more
than passing interest the opening of the
municipal links at Cobb's Creek Park, JuM
beyond the 69th street station of the "U"
Work has been rushed recently by those in
charge of this property to have the greens
and fairways In perfection for this occa
sion and they appear to have wrought well.
There are H club tournaments In various
sections of this city and vicinity, but none
of more than local Interest
By SANDY McNIBLICK
MANY enthuslnsts Journeyed to Cobb's
Creek Park today and participated 'in
the opening of the public golf courtc. The
green fairly sparkled with brlght-hued cos
tumes, and the constant click of golf sticks
and a generally Jubilant spirit of tho play
ers who braved an unrelenting sun showed
thnt tho people's golf arena will undoubt
edly be a popular attraction.
Although the course was officially open at
daylight, the players took their time about
arriving. The first to reach the now course,
which is Just west of the 60th street ter
minal were Joseph Kelly, of Oakmont, and
Theodore Aslteworth, who arrived there at
5 o'clock this morning.
The latter had the honor of driving the
first ball nt tho public opening.
Harry 13. Hanklnson, of 5753 Addison
street, was tho first to finish over the
course. He said it was n wonderful course
and one of the best ho ever played on.
Those who were dubious about tho game
were shown tho many fine points by Hor
aco H. Gamble, a professional teacher. He
has established a headquarters for the for
getful, and many of the players bought
their golfstlcks, bags and balls from him
at tho grounds
Tho course was officially baptized yester
day by Edward T. Stotesbury with a long
mashle shot off the fliflt tee to the rough.
The presiding golfer was much like Jerry
Travers, open champion. Ho did not like
the click of the camera shutters that took
his action, nnd in this way accounts for
his opening shot, which was slightly off the
line. It was a clean shot, though, and the
large gallery of prominent citizens and
city officials woke the country echoes with
noisy plaudits.
The transit magnate was so pleased with
his first shot that ho Immediately teed off
again. Ho looked up ns his club came
around to see the blrdjlke flight of his ball.
instead of the ball, however, he saw a
huge chunk of turf, and thereby had the
honor of taking up tho first divot on tho
new course, a million of which are ex
pected to be taken up by the scores of be
ginners who will play tho course In the
first week.
Benny Shows a Heal One
President nobert W. Lesley, of the Golf
Association of Philadelphia, was the next
golfer to mount the teeing ground, As -an
acknowledged golfer, he was expected to
show the crowd how the trick was done,
and the "honorable proxy" did not disap
point. He took up a wooden club and
landed on the tiny pill with a sweet smack
that picked It off Its sandy tee for a pretty
carry far out In the fairway.
The last baptizer to step to the bat was
Benny Sayers, the granddaddy of golf,
both In this country and abroad, He Is one
of the most famous characters In the game.
He lias taught most of the Kings, Queens
and other royalty, both ancient and mod
ern, the game of golf, and the gallery
stepped forward as Benny picked up the
famous "dreadnought" driver, that he In
vented, and waggled the huge head over
his ball.
His midget body twisted In perfect bal
ance and the ball flitted away like a bullot
from a gun,
"It hasn't Btopped yet," said Golfer
Stotesbury In amusement some mlnute3
later, as all stood entranced at the shot,
Benny Just missed his putt for o. 4 by a
fraction of an Inch on the first hole. Presi
dent Lesley laso played out the first hole
and got a 6,
Stotesbury May Build Course
The new course gave Mr. Stotesbury an
Idea and he discussed the possibility of
building a private course of nine holes on
260 acres of country land he owns. He
U a member of the Huntingdon Valley
Country Club board of directors, but never
plays there. The thrill of bitting a golf
ball entranced him for some time and the
possibility of spending his few spare mo
ments In golf knickers looks like a cer
tainty. Benny Sayers said the transit magnate
showed a quick Intuition of the require
ments of the game and ought to be a fair
golfer In a short time. It took the wizard
pro only two minutes to show his pupil
enough to hit the ball.
'"Twas remarkable," said Benny. "I

Censors Pass Greens
All the critics passed tho greens. Benny
Sayers said they wore remarkablo for tho
short time they had been In existence. The
grass la a bit coarse, naturally, but tho
greens have been slicked up In great Bhapo
and good enough for nny match. Tho holes
wero cut for tho first time yesterday. The
only work yet to bo done, nslde from the
regular upkeep of tho course, Is the work of
smoothing out hnd terracing the space
around the two Colonial white locker build
ings. The new course is only expected to be a
slight relish to appease the first annetite
of hungry golfers hereabouts that want to
take up the gamo regularly.
Thero waH much talk today of eventually
turning over this course to golfers that play
a gamo In tho 120s, nnd to build at least
two other courses. One location is likely
to bo League Island, and Frankford may
also be favored.
Millions of questions are thrown at the
overworked superintendent of the course
and the Park Commissioners. Any player
can golf on the course who has a registra
tion ticket, price 11, any time during the
year, or by paying a fee of 60 cents the
day he wants to play. A few lockers will
be reserved for these golfers for use when
they want to play. Players that want pri
vate lockers will pay $10 per year. Choice
of lockers was given today In the order of
application at the locker house. There, are
412 lockers for men and they havo not all
been taken. There are 101 women's lockers.
Mounted police will patrol the course to
strictly enforce the rules. Each player
must have his own set of clubs and must
start from the first tee. No preference will
be given In starting, at first, to holders of
lockers, though some arrangement will like
(y be made for this later on.

from rejoining his club within 30 days
after being released. The meeting was ono
of the most representative held In the his
tory of tho association on account of dele
gates coming from as far West as Wiscon
sin, whllo nil the Eastern associations were
represented with their full quota of dele
gates Despite tho rumor prior to the meeting
that all cup competitions would be abol
ished by the National Association, this
proved to tho contrary, for the cup asso
ciations at present affiliated will be allowed
to continue under tho old ruling, and also
given permission to havo direct representa
tion ns at present on the National Council.
Goorge M Collins, of tho North Massachu

Brown, of the American Footbnll Aninrin.
ktlon, announced that his association, whtnh
was chartered In 1014, had Intended to bring
an injunction against tho national body,
providing they wero "kicked out." as he
termed It, and when put to tho voto Mr.
Collins was the only one against not recog
