FAILURE OF PHILLY PITCHERS CAUSES FANS TO SPECULATE ON CAUSE OF POOR SHOW MM IP; HAS MANAGER MORAN DRIFTED AWAY PROM SUCCESSFUL PLAN IN HANDLING PITCHING STAFF? Pitchers "Who Largely Were Responsible for , Pennant Winning Have Not Come Through I and Are Not Worked the Same KELLY THE TRICK ARTIST HB'i JUST AS IMT6RESTIHG A 8 "Km DBMp- CRATC COM' UBMTIOM IS OOliOG To BE. IS MR. HOPPE IN 'The HOUSE CALL FOR WILLIE HOPPE WHAT is tho matter with tha Phillies' pitching staff? Wherever baseball fans Rather this question Is discussed, and apparently ihore Is no tanglblo solution to tho puzzlo. Just when tho fans have about decided that tho staff Is rounding Into tho same Invincible corps which carried tho Phillies through tho National Lcngtio to a pennant last season tho dopo Is knocked all to piece by sovoral exhibitions of poor hurling. Through It all Alexander continues to pitch grand, ball and he has carried tho team along. Of tho 23 games won by tho champions, Alexander has annexed 10, or almost ono-half. While Alexander went along at tho samo clip In 1915 ' and tho raco was very close at this time, there must bo some reason for tho failure of Klxoy, Demareo, Bender, McQuillan and Mayor to gather more than 18 Victories between them. Two or throo men aro batting below form, and thero was a tendency in tho early part of tho season to forgot tho style of ball which was responslblo for tho 1915 SUCC083; but as a wholo tho work of tho rest of tho men has been as good as, If not better than, It was a year ago. Whoro Bancroft Is batting miser ably, NIohoff la slugging better than at any tlmo last year, whllo both aro fielding brilliantly. Ludorus was In a batting slump before ho was hurt; but Stock's timely hitting and brilliant fielding have been so much better than was expected that XiUdy's deficiency was moro than covered. Cravath's one batting slump cost tho champions a few games; but then tho great Improvement In Pnskert's all-round work mado up tho difference, whllo Whltted has played his usual conalstont game. Tho reserve strength, osldo from Byrne, has dono nothing; but all things taken Into consideration, tho main trouble has been with tho pitching. Questionable Judgment in Recent Pitching Selections SEVERAL reasons have been given to explain tho failure of tho wonderful staff to show anything that approaches tho 1916 brand of pitching, barring Alex ander. Ono might point out that several well-pitched games havo been lost becauso of light hitting, but this must bo expected. Through It all no ono has dared question Mapager Moran's Judgment In handling tho staff. Tho-clover manipulation and careful handling of tho pitchers by Moran saved tho Phillies several times last year when It seemed as If the team had struck a slump which would loso tho pennant; but. Is It possible that ho has placod too much confldcnco In some of his hurlors and not enough In others? Or Is It possible that tho Phillies have been looking too much toward tho box-office? The latter supposition will be frowned upon, but Alexander the Great cor talnly has not been handled as ho was a year ago. Perhaps Moran has decided that It is best to work his star In tho second gamo of each scries, stneo Leo Fohl used this plan so successfully with Quy Morton. But Is it not rather odd that tho old program of starting Alexander off In every series possible has been cast asldo and ho invariably Is on tho mound on a Saturday? Any number of things which the fans know nothing about, and which really do not concern them, may b- responslblo for tho manner in which the pitchers have been worked. It may bo our Imagination, but there is little doubt that Manager Morqn has gotten off his regular track slnco tho team returned home. Advantage of Starting Alexander Lost ALEXANDER opened tho Brooklyn series and shut out tho Dodgers. Chalmers, Xjl Demareo and Rlxey then lost in order to the Dodgers. So far so good. Then camo the series with tho Giants. Demareo stopped tho Giants In the morning gamo on Decoration Day and Alexander was batted out of the box In the after noon In five innings. Bender and Rlxey finished up the scries. Then came St. Louis, and Instead of Aloxandcr, who had pitched only five innings on Tuesday and who is capable of standing moro work than Demareo, opening this series, he was saved for tho Saturday gamo and Demareo sent to the mound. Demareo was beaten; but even if ho had won, it would not alter the caso. Alexander went back on Saturday and won a shut-out victory, but by working Saturday Instead of Friday ho was thrown out of his regular turn. If he had pitched Friday ho could havo gone back at the Cubs In the opening game of the series and still had three days of rest. As It happened, the rain butted In after tho opening game with tho Cubs had been loot, and It Is barely possible that rain may Interfere with tho rest of tho series, thus keeping Alexander Idle for a full week, whereas If he pitched tho first gamo against St. Louis he also could havo worked the opener against Chicago. It also is possible that a clean sweep would have been made against St. Louis If Demareo had been given an extra day of rest. Getting the Jump Won Pennant THERE Is no denying tho fact that the ability of Alexander to capture the opening gome of almost every series last season, and to repeat in the final came against dangerous teams, gave the Phils tho Jump on their opponents and was tho greatest factor In the pennant winning. There have been a few other instances where Moran's Judgment in handling his pitchers has been faulty: but as stated before, there may bo a reason. Local fans have great faith In Moran, and his past record Justifies it. If lio has been wrong, he probably will be tho first to realize It; and If he cannot get tho work out of his present staff, it Is safe to say that no ono can. Moran has a tougher fight on his hands than last season and tho success of the team depends upon what ho can do with the pitchers. Williams, South Carolina Sensation, Reports to Mack , IT takes some people quite a while to wake up. We read with Interest that Manager Mack signed Whittaker, of Tufts College, yesterday, although tho Evening Ledoeu stated two weeks ago that ho would Join the Mackmen noxt week. So far as signing the contract is concerned, it strikes us that Whittaker has been under contract with the Athletics slnco the summer of 1914, when Connie Mack's son Roy brought him down from Worcester Academy, where they wero teammates. Whittaker also was at Shlbe Park In Mack's morning achool last summer. In about a week wo will hear from the same source that Williams, the sen sational University of South Carolina pitcher, has been signed, although this also took place several months back. Williams has been working out at Shlbe Park for almost a week, and will be ready for regular duty when tho team returns homo. This young giant Is one collegian whom Manager Mack la certain will be a star within a year. Johnson, Krepps, Whittaker, Westcott and Eptlng are looked upon as excellent ptospects, but Williams is considered a certainty. Unusual No-Hit Performance EPTING Is the young Wofford College Hurler, who with Baker, a third baseman, of Newbury College, S. C, worked out with the Athletics at Charleston, S. C, on the barnstorming trip north. Eptlng was known as Jones to the Mackmen, but under the name of James he pitched for Oolumbla against Albany In the Bouth Atlantic League on June 5 and shut out the latter team without a hit. On tho samo day "James" pitched his no-hit game for Columbia against Albany, Norris, of Charleston, shut out Macon without a safe hit. This la the tlrst time on record where two no-hlt games wero pitched In the samo league on one day. It was the third .no-hlt game of the South Atlantic League season, Dana Fillingun, former Mackroan with Charleston, having turned the trick three .weeks ago. , . Cobb Running Behind Usual Form In All Department IT TYRU8 RAYMOND COBB does not start something real soon or Trls Speaker falls down suddenly the "Georgia Peach" is going to have a hard time over v hauling the Cleveland wonder, Instead of cutting down Speaker's enormous bat ting lead, Cobb Is losing ground, and it Is said that Ty Is beginning to worry, abqut his failure to gain. Worrying will not help hta hitting any as It generally, causes a player to go after bad balls. Cobb, also la falling behind his past records In base stealing. Tho Detroit tar appeared to bo Just as fast as ever In the series with the Athletics here, but the fact remains that he is many points below his 1915 record In all departments. Ty generally is late starting on his bitting spree, but he usually stands out on the. paths at all tunes. Eddie Collins, George Slsler and a few other star base stealers are also far below form, or Is it that the catchers are throwing better than ever? It la interesting to read the accounts of the Pat Bradley-Charley Thomas gght In the local papers. Only two newspapermen attended the fight, one giving it a draw, while the other gave Bradley the verdict. Every other local paper tY9 the decision to Thomas by a wide margin, yet spectators who attended the Aoatest say that Bradley bit Thomas with everything but the chair and also ftutbqxed him. Perhaps somebody pulled a Darby Kelly.

Tho South Is not yet reck oned with, and tho Northern colleges are to be found mixed In with the East and the West. Tho Intercollegiate track and field championships and tho "Big Nino" Confer ence mcettnK are the meets which give tho athletic "sharks" food for thought In comparing tho track and field men.

In the "Big Nine" meet, the discus. Jave lin and relay events aro inciuaea, uui, u these events are not on the Intercollegiate program, no comparison can be made here. Same Time Registered The peculiar part of the two meetings Is that the same tlmo was made In tho 130 yards, 220 yards and 440 yard runs. Smith, of Michigan, ran 10 seconds in tho lntercolleglae9 and Smith, of Wisconsin (they aro nt related), ran 10 seconds In tho Western Conference. Moore, of Princeton, ran tho 220 In 21 3-5 seconds In tho in tercolleglates, and M. Smith, of Wisconsin, did likewise in the conference meet. "Ted". Meredith ran the quarter mile In 47 2-5 seconds In the Intercolleglatcs. and BInga Dlsmond, the negro runner of Chicago, made exactly the same time. Not In 16 years did any runner better 48 seconds for a quarter mile on a circular track, and then when the mark was bettered the feat was accomplished twice In one week. Meredith ran the half mile In 1:53. and Scott, of Mlssisslpl A. and M., ran 1:63 1-5 In Chicago. Scott also won the Southern Intercollegiate half mile, so that the time Is no mistake. The fourth man In the Intercol legiate mile race finished In faBter time than Mike Mason, winner of the conference mile. Mason ran 4:20 1-6 seconds. Wlndnagle'a time was 4:16. Stout, of Chicago, a con verted half mller, ran the two miles for Chi cago in 9.20 3-5 seconds, which makes him look a bit better than Don Potter, of Cor nell, who ran the Intercollegiate two miles m 9:32 2-5 seconds. West Strong in Hurdles Both hurdle events fall to the Westerners, as Bob Simpson was running In the meet. The Missouri flier ran over the high sticks In 14 3-6 seconds and the low ones In 23 4-5 seconds, Fred Murray's time for both hur dles In the Intercolleglates was 15 and 24 1-6 seconds. Fobs, of Cornell, vaulted 12 feet 8 Inches as against 12 feet by Culp, of Chicago. Worthlngton, of Dartmouth, broad Jumped 24 feet U inch as against 23 feet u. inch bv Poerue. of IlllnolB. Wesley Oler. of Yale, cleared 6 feet 2 Inches In the WTeh lumD. which Is 1U Inches better than Fisher, of Chicago, did.

Llversedge, of California, won the ehot put In both meets, but In the Conference meet he was disqualified for the same rea Bon as Nichols, his teammate, was put out for, However, Mucks, of, Wisconsin, did 46 feet 8 Inches against the 48 feet 2V, Inches that Llversedge did In the East.

TABER WILD NOT TRY FOR TED MEREDITH'S RECORDS One Mile Titleholdcr to Assist in Coach ing Brown Team - Norman Taber, holder of the world's one-mile record of 4 minutes 12 3-5 sec onds, sends word ffom Providence that ho doe3 not propose to go In training with tho Intention of trying to smash tho quar ter nnd half mllo records mado by Ted Meredith. When he returned from Oxford a year ago, Taber went Into a banking house In Providence nnd after his running last sum mer put away his spikes for good. "My Interest In track work In tho fu ture," says Taber, "will bo confined en tirely to tho track team at Brown Univer sity. My spare tlmo will be utilized In assisting Archlo Hahn, Brown's coach, in developing a team which wo hopo within a year or so will placo track athletics at that college on n firmer basis than over before." CARPENTIERWOULD FIGHT FOR FRANCE RATHER THAN BOX Parisian Turns Down $100,- 000 to Show in Argentine Competition Georges Carpentler, the Fronch heavy weight champion, now serving with tho aero detachment of tho French army around Verdun, declined an offer of $100,000 to box one 20-round bout and two exhibition contests In Buenos Aires, according to Pro moter Marcel Peacan Del Sar, who has sailed for South America from New York accompanied by sovoral American boxers, who will tako part In a ring carnival In Argentina during July nnd August. Peacan Del Sar several weeks ago visited Carpentler In Paris, tho young heavyweight receiving permission to lenve the front for the conference, but ho could not sway him from his desire to remain with tho army. "Tou could not tempt me with a million dollars," Carpentler said, according to the Argentine promoter. "While my friends and countrymen aro falling all around mo I would under no consideration even think of entering tho ring again. Maybe when the war Is over I will listen to your propo sition, but not before." Peacan Del Sar saw a great field for boxing In Argentina, and In an endeavor to learn Just how It will take there he has Invested 125,000 In the boxing carnival which will be held in connection with the 10th anniversary of the city during July and August. Tho greater part of this money will be distributed among the Ameri can boxers, the last group of whom will sail for Buenos Aires on June 17, with Billy Gibson as their chaperon. Jack Johnson, deposed heavyweight cham pion, may be seen In a "come-back" bout during the Argentine tournament. He Is now In Spain, boxing occasionally, accord ing to reports sent here, and Peacan Del Sar expects he will sail for Buenos Aires durlor the summer. The negro heavyweight championship will be settled there In August with the meet ings of Sam Langford, Harry Wills, Sara MaVey and Joe Jeannette, and It Is likely that Johnson will meet the winner of this series. ,.7..e80 yards..,;.. a 1-6 On mile ..420 1-5 .....two miiea vsvoo seconds. . . ,iiid nuraiea .Cow hurdUa.. .llraad iumu. . . .23 It. .fois vauii uii. . 14 8-5 seconlb 4 yo seconos ?I 10. h In .46 It.

' CRACK SPRINTERS WILL CAPTAIN SIX COLLEGIATE TEAMS Two of the Lot, Kelly and Hoyt, Are the Fleetest in Country DISTANCE MEN SECOND Sprinters Just now are being given tho preference In the selection of captains for the 1917 collegiate track teams, six of the twelve chosen to this time being athletes who specialize In the daBhes. This Is the dopo sheet as It looks as this writing: Chicago, Fisher, high jumper. Princeton, Moore, sprinter. Holy Cross, Kelly, sprinter. Harvard, Tcschner, sprinter. Grlnnell, Hoyt, sprinter. Swnrthmoro, Bonner, sprinter. Williams, Safford, sprinter. Cornell, Foss, polo vnulter. Dartmouth. Worthlngton, broad Jumper. Yalo, Overton, distance runner. Pennsylvania, Dorsey, distance runner. Michigan, Carroll, distance runner. Two of these sprinter leaders are among tho fastest who ever toro around In spiked shoos Hoyt and Kelly. And they haven't been heard of much because they sport the colors of colleges that do not mjx with the big four. In the New England Intercolle glates Kelly tan 9 4-5 seconds for tho 100 vnrds nnd 21 3.!? Mi-nnln . t.a 4rn .,.,. which every ono must admit Is pretty fine traveling. Now we come to Hoyt, He Is to the Grlnnell track team what Bob Simpson Is to the University of Missouri, what Fred Murray is to the Unlvorslty of Leland Stanford, what Ted Meredith is to the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. In fact, Hoyt Is much more of a hero at Grlnnell than Meredith Is at Penn. Horo are some of the things that Hoyt did this spring: He won the 100 and 220 yard dashes and the high and low hurdle races; In every dual meet Grlnnell partici pated In he won the 100 and 220 yard dashes In the Iowa State conference meet; he won the'100 and 220 yard dashes in the llrako relay games In Des Moines, which correspond with the Penn relays here, and he brought the relay team home first In every meet. In the Drake School meet Hoyt ran the 100 yards In 9 4-5 seconds and then turnea In 21 3-5 seconds for the furlong on a curve track. Just to prove that there wasn't any fluke In the 100 yards timing, it may be worth mentioning that Hoyt beat Smith, the Intercollegiate champion, by three yards In one of the semifinals.
