EVENING LUDOER-PHILUDEIiPHIA, FRIDAY, TONE 1916.
CHAMPIONS ARE SCHEDULED TO MOVE UP AT EXPENSE OF THE ST. LOUIS CARDIJi
NT,
PHILLIES DUE TO TAKE A
BRACE IN THE THREE-GAME
SERIES WITH ST. LOUIS CARDS
v Millei Huggins' Pitchers Have Been Going Poorly
for Some Time Luderus' Absence
Weakens Champions
AFTErt n tons terica of mishaps entailing "1 loss of a number of games which
XX should havo been Won, the rhlllles aro duo to come back and mako a good
etand Against tho lowly St. Louis Cardinals. Tho Cards have been going wretchedly
recently, but at that Pittsburgh Is giving them a hard tussle for a firm hold on
list place. Miller Muggins" team Is scheduled hero three days, tho last contest
feeing set for Monday afternoon.
Kugglns pitchers havo been going as badly as tho Phillies, If not worse, and
na is Invariably tho case with a losing club, tho breaks havo been against Moron's
present visitors. Tho Cardinals, after traveling directly from St. Louis, aro hero,
hoping to tako two out of threa from tho Phillies. Hugglns Is working on tho
theory that tho champions aro at low tide In their play, and If he expects
advance In the league standing It must be now and at the expense of tho Phillies.
When the Phillies were recently In St. Louis Hugglns stated that hcy did
notjppear to be as strong as they wero last season, although they vr.ro 1016
spring favorites for the pennant. However, ho went on to say that he expected
Moron would soon whip his club into winning shape again.
Luderus' Absence Has Hurt the Phillies
ALTHOUGH Georgo Whlttcd has been working well at first and with tho stick,
. tho continued absence of Captain Fred Luderus has hurt the Phillies and no
doubt has been responsible for tho loss of n number of games that would other
wlso have been won, Even If Whltted has been doing as well at first as Luderus,
which Is a question, the team naturally Is weakened, because neither Cooper nor
Good hns dono tho outfield work as well as AVhltted would havo dono It.
Cooper has dono soma wonderful work on the defense, but baseball games
nro not won by defcnslvo play. They may bo saved by exceptional work In this
department, but the offense must be consistent and powerful for a string of vie
torles which tho' Phils had hoped to reel off. In fact, Cooper's hitting was so
Indifferent that he has been removed from a r.umbcr of games In which he began
to give placo to a pinch hitter.
When Luderus gets back In the gamo and resumes his normal stride at the
bat a noticeable Incrcaso will bo scon In tho offensive power of the Phillies. Evon
beforo ho was forced from tho gamo Luderus was not hitting up to form. Last
season at this time Luderus was closo "to the top of tho National League hitting,
whero ho remained throughout the season. If he gets back in the game In tho
near future and runs his avcrngo up to tho .300 mark, with his usual number of
extra baso hits, tho Phils again will coma to the fore.
Giants' Wonderful Road Trip
POIt those who havo a penchant for figures some of tho things that the
Giants did on this memorable trip aro worth noting. In tho 21 games they
scdred 115 runs and poled out 212 hits, which Is an average of more than five
runs and ten hits per game. This Is the best evidence In the world as to why
the Giants came through. Any team that can compile an average of ten good
lusty clouts a game will not lose many games, providing, of course, they havo
a pitcher or two who can check the other fellows.
In four games against Pittsburgh tho Giants Bcored 26 runs and knocked
out 43 hits. In two games with Chicago they crossed the plate nine times
on 18 hits. They scored 21 runs and made twlco that number of hits in four
games in St. Louis, Threo games In Cincinnati netted them 21 runs and 36
hits and in the four games In Boston 21 runs and 33 hits were made. The
Phils put a halt to the cannonading, for tho Giants scored 17 runs and made
SG hits In the four games here. That Isn't bad, however. It is a record of
"Victories to be proud of. It undoubtedly Is tho best string of victories compiled
by any team since tho Introduction of modern Ideas In baseball.
The plants In 1004 compiled a string of 18 victories, but some of thorn
were at home. In 1911 the Giants won 14 games In a row and then after a
setback won another dozen, but In this case as well as tho other qulto a number
of tho games were played on home soil.

PANHANDLER OF 80'S VINTAGE
WEEPS IN "COME-BACK" PLEA
Donovan Evidently Does Not Want Luck
FANS are puzzlod because Bill Donovan persistently refused to Inject Paddy
Baumann Into tho regular line-up until he was forced to do it. Baumann Is
the Yankees' lucky man. Nearly every time he was called to hit In a pinch ho
delivered. In most of tho other Karnes where ho Jumped In for a few innings and
did substitute work the tide of battle shifted toward the Yankees and they won.
Baumann, doing pinch clubbing chores or subbing for a fow innings each
week, hit for a mark around .500. Furthermore, Baumann was t)io best hlttor
tho Yanks had last year. Despite this fact Donovan religiously avoided pushing
Baumann into tho frolic as a regular until tho enforced retirement of Malscl,
Baker and Pecklnpaugh made It necessary.
Donovan has kept Gllhooley In the game and Baumann on tho bench, al
though Gllhooley is hitting only a trifle beyond .100. Ho kept Malsol and Magee
In the outfield when their combined batting avprages were only about 60 per cent,
of Baumann's. Perhaps, you say, Donovnn did not want to put in Baumann
because ,he feared to break up the Mugee-Maisel-utlhooloy combination. But here's
tho rub. When Gllhooley and Magce were forced out of the game earlier In the
reason Donovan pushed In High and Hartzell as substitutes and kept Baumann
on the bench.
But finally Baumann got a chance to play regularly, due to Baiter's temporary
retirement. And Baumann has been Btnrrlng, both afield and at bat. and for some
reason with Paddy in the Une-up tho Yankees seem to gather in about all the luck
that the game generates.

"IBEAT game, ain't It 7"
vJT We wero sitting on a lmnk near the
fourth hole at the public links, harmless
ly beating the uod between our feet with
11 n old lilbllc
We turned around at the wordi Juit as a
tousled tramp dropped down to the grass
nearby and wearily extended a wooden leg
straight out In front. A pair of sad toyes
looked over a scarlet none, puffed Into a
ball, that net oft his red face, prickly with
white brlntlos.
Bo reached for the club
"Nlbllc, ain't It?" ho offered, reading on
the back of It
Wo admitted It.
Tho tattered pilgrim heaved a sigh, but
persisted.
"Eer hear of John Dougherty?" ho
asked "Well, that's me In me younger
days I was one of the best players In tho
country In fact, I would of been champecn
only for one thing" And Itoajsman John
turned out a palm mournfully toward tho
wooden leg. looking up to see how we wero
taking It.
"I was aborn athalctc." continued tho
conversational one, "and always took to
these here games. But In this game" (he
named It by waving at some struggling
golfers) "I couldn't be beat at me weight
Back In the SO's I was at me best. They
wasn't nobody could touch me at lilttln' the
ball. Do you think they over glv' John
Dougherty holes as short as that there?"
Ho measured the fourth with scathing eye
"Looka that baby shot!" he sneered
loudly, as a golfer tried a short mashlo
approach.
"If I couldn't a hit 'em furthor'n that
ru or nuit why, oncet I nit a Dan halt a
mile. They wasn't nobuddy livln' in them
days could hit 'em as fur ns I could.
"But one day I falls oft a cliff and breaks
me leg. It was Just before tho chamneen
ships. That was me finish." A skimpy
tear squeezed out of a grimy eye.
"They had to take off ino leg I ain't hit
a hall since 'But I kin como bncl. " The
vagrant, self-confessed former near-champ
moved closer In his enthusiasm If we had
any doubts about the trend of matters
they didn't hang tiro long.
"I was a college man once meself. I kin
come back to whero I was onco In this here
game," ho croaked "Gimme a chance.
Say. young feller, kin you glv' me tho loan
of a quarter to buy meself a club?"
A largo representation of the Racquet Club
Is expected to embark for Baltimore, where
they will be the guests of the Country Club
In a 36-hole golf carnival, etc (with stress
on the etc.) In return for a similar affair
here, when a large delegation from Chevy
Chase and other clubs of the section played
golf at Huntingdon Valley as the guests
of the Racquet Club.
The Baltimore club Is always a royal
entertainer and the affair waxes In popu
larity. Miss Dsther Detchon, who has won much
golf glory In tho Far West, has been
visiting In the Bast before the commence
ment at Ogontz School, now In progress.
Miss Detchon has played on several of tho
Dy SANDY McNIBLICK
courses hereabouts and has played some
very good golf Yesterday she would have
broken (ho record on a private course In
tho York road section If she had not had so
much trouble with the sand.
Wherever there was any she seemed to
get In It.
Three local golfers cleaned up nearly all
tournaments last year that wero not tho
very big events. Tho players were C.
B. Webster, Jr., Cecil Calvert and M. P.
j ones.
Webster's health began to fall In tho
winter and he was ordered by his physi
cian to try tho bracing mountain breezes. Ho
will not compete in local golf at nil this
summer. Maurie Jones finds but little
time for golf this season except on week
ends because of a new position he has
taken, which requires him to travel a great
deal. His loss, like that of his teammate,
Webster, will ba keenly felt In the tourna
ments this year, as both were felt to be at
tho "arrival" etago In expert play. Cecil
Calvert has not entered any of tho events
iiiua iur, nor nas no piaycu at all on his
old "stamping grounds" nt Aronlmlnk. Tho
entrance of Calvert In any of the lesser
events iasi year always meant that he would
win It, and he figured strongly In many of
the major starts.
