WHAT MAY HAPPEN
IN BASEBALL TODAY
BLACK BASS SEASON OPENS
Anglers, in Largo Numbers, Start With
Rush in Battlo Against
Crafty Gamo
Whipping v the Perklomen and other
nearby haunts of tho black bass, anglers
today bggan tholr annual contest with that
game fighter of the Inland streams
OITlclally, tho black bass season oponed
today, but many fishermen set out last
night for their favorite angling grounds
In this vicinity, ntd before daylight were
baiting tho streams of this Stato and New
Jersey In quest of their crafty prey. Some
of tho anglers disdained the "flshln' holes"
closer home and hied away to the more
distant shores of tho Susquehanna, where
bass are usually plentiful.
Under tho game laws, black bass can
not be sold and must bo caught with hook
and line. It Is highly prized ns a food
fish, and these legal restrictions enhance
ita value to the angler. A penalty of $20
attaches to possesion of a bass less than
nine Inches In length. No license Is re
quired In this State for black-bass tfeh.
ing, but In New Jersey resident mut pay
$1.15 and ngnretdent $2.16 for the privlege.
Pickerel and perch may alo bo caught at
this time, but the law prescribes that pick
erel must be at least 12 inches long. Tha
trout season Is also open, after a late start,
and Is furnishing good sport to devotees
of thatb ranch of angling.

selected a tow n near Lake Michigan and de
cided to win n ball game Grand Ilaplds
wns tho borough Imposed upon and the
terrible deed was perpetrated The Macks
won, 2 to 0, In ten innings, scoring tho first
ictory blnco May 31. No wonder tho boys
aro happy today,
At that, tho Central League club sprung
a big surprise on the largo league players
Instead of hnvlng nn easy timo nnd breez
ing home by several lengths, tho Macks
were forced to play their best to koep others
from fccorlng, and seized tho opportune mo
ment to slip tho braco of markers across
In tho last stanza.
A gentleman named Haggerty did the
hurling for the Grnnd Itaplds, nnd his stuff
was all to tho good He held Connie's kids
to thrco hits In nlno innings nnd had them
noting llko they did In Cleveland Ho was
aided by a wet, sloppy Held, however, which
procnted anything that oven resembled fast
play. Wyckoff twirled for our club and
showed that ho could beat a Central League
team any old tlmo ho cared to. i
But tho greatest thing of nil Is tho fact
that tho Athletics finally havo won a bnll
game Thoy havo changed from victim to
victor, and like it so well that tho Tigers
In this city nppear ns ferocious as a drown
ing fish cilllng for help They are out to
win a few ball games, and will stnrt right

CINCINNATI REDS, PICKED BY
M'GRAW AND STALLINGS TO
BEAT PHILS, ARE HERE TODAY
Charley Herzog Has Powerful and Well Balanced
Team, But Champions Are Not Worried
by Predictions of Rival Managers
By CHANDLER
CINCINNATI, touted by John McfJraw
rind Oeorgo Stnlllngs ns tha most dan
gerous contender for tho honors for which
tha ainnts nnd H raves will bo battling
somowhero along In lato September, nro
hero today for a thrce-gnmo scries with tho
Phils. Just what theso honors nro thnt
tho Olants nnd Braves nro contenders for
has not hecn discovered, but It Is presumed
that SIcQraw nnd Stnlllngs mean tho Na
tional Leaguo pennant
McOrnw recently declared thnt ho did not
fenr tho I'hlllles nnd Brooklyn so much as
tho Ileds nnd Cubs, which Is enough to
contlnco local fnna thnt tho champions nre
going to li-wo a great battlo on tholr hands
with the Dodgers, becauso was It not Mc
Oraw who named tho exact dato when
Moron's team would crack last season?
But allow Ing for tho fnct that McQraw
and Mailings can never seo nnythlng which
bears a Philadelphia label, the Hods really
look llko a team suro to cauno tho lenders
a lot of trouhlo beforo tho season closes.
It probably Is tho bcst'balancod team tn
tho league, nil things considered It has
hitters, Adders nnd pitchers, bnso running
being tho ono weak point, but thnt has been
bolstered up by tho addition of tho sensa
tional lint Chase.
Tho Hcds are flo and a hnlf gnmea bo
hind tho Phlli nt tho present time, but
Ilcrzog has his tonm moving nlong nt a
rapid clip. Tho poor condition of Trod
Toney, Ilorzog's best hurler nnd ono of tho
leading pitchers of tho league, wan largoly
responsible! for tho slow Btnrt mndo by tho
Beds. Toney lost flvo out of his first six
games, nnd also failed to save n few moro,
which would havo resulted In victories If ho
had been right.
Harmony Prevails
Thero Is no limit to tho possibilities of
tho Beds If Mnnager Ilcrzog can keep har
mony in tho ranks, with tho samo McGraw
trying to kick up troublo between tho hust
ling manager nnd tho temperamental Chnso,
and does not loso Bight of tho fact that tho
race calls for 1C4 games and not 10 or IB.
If Her7og gots his staff of star twirlors
working properly, once thoy havo struck
tholr strldo, tho Beds will surely bo dan
gerous. To dato the Beds havo been playing er
ratio ball. When tho pltchors wero not
going good tho team was batting hard and
scoring a lot of runs, but as soon as tho
hurlcrs struck their Btrldo tho team foil
Into a batting slump. This slump still grips
the Beds, and tho PhlU will try to put thorn
out of tho raco beforo they recover.
It will bo tho first nppcarnnco of Hal
Chnso In n National League uniform Chnso
was onco recognized ns tho peer of first
basemen and Is playing better bnll today
than he hnn shown slnco ho made his sensa
tional debut with tho Yankees 10 years ago.
Chnso is now playing left field, as Herzog
wns badly In need of nn outfielder who
can hit, and with Jvlollvvitz, a fairly good
hitting first baseman on tho bench, tho
Cincinnati pilot decided that tho switch
would strengthen both positions So far
tho movo has been a great success.
Thero Is plenty of individuality and color
In tho make-up of tho Bods They havo
four star hurlcrs. a slugging catcher In
Wlngo nnd the best nll-around pair on tho
left sldo of tho 'diamond slnco tho days of
tho Nash-Long nnd Mcarnw-Jennlngs com
binations In Manager Herzog and Holnlo
Groh Tho latter Is easily the best third
baseman In tho league, whllo Herzog has
no superior at short and only Bancroft his
equal.
flmer Jacobs was with tho Phillies for
D. RICHTER
ono season and took a trip to the training
camp another year, without any ono dis
covering thnt he had a curve ball. "When
Jacobs wns with tho Phils, he was a spit
ball pitcher nnd had so little on the moist
delivery that Mornrr bellovcd he was nil
Impossibility ns a major leaguo prospect
nnd pnsfed him along to Utlca of tho Now
York State League.
Whllo nt Utlca, Jacobs wits advised to
give up tho spltter and practice on a curve
ball. Jacobs followed tho advice and has
returned to tho major league a mighty
promising pitcher. If ho can glVo many
more exhibitions llko that of yesterday, the
Pirates havo picked up a great pitcher at
the expense of tho Phils.
It Is the first tlmo wo ever knew of
Manager Moran passing tip a pitcher with
any possibilities whatever, nnd nttrlbuto It
to tho fact that Jacobs was Inclined to be
both bashful nnd lazy whllo with the local
team. It Is said that Moran, Klllefer and
Burns worked with Jacobs harder than
nny young pltchor In tho squad, but ha
did not show enough ambition to warrant
being retained on a team of hustlers.
Every team appearing horo thla season
lias strenuously protested Eppa Blxey'a
motion to first base, but the umpires de
clare It In not a balk. It is not a balk
In tho strict sense of tho ruling, but Is sure
ly a falso motion and ono which should bo
called a balk. If tho magnates want to
seo moro action nnd moro base running,
they had better get together and change
tho ruling pertaining to balks, as tho pres
ent Is unsatisfactory.
Jimmy Viox's stop of n wicked drive
by Stock, in tho third Inning, wns the most
sensational play of the year on a ground
ball. Vlox speared tho ball with gloved
hand on tho grass back of first and, al
though out of position, mado a perfect
throw to Johnston, retiring tho runner. The
crowd nppreclated the effort and cheered
Volx when ho came to tho bench and on his
next appearance at bat. ,
Qavvy Cravath tried' all day to pull the
ball Into left field, but until' the soventh
inning could not succeed, as Jacobs was
pitching on the outside corner of the plnte
to tho fence breaker. Tho youngster final
ly lot n fast ball get away nnd It went
through the groove. Cralvath hit the
bleachers with it and reached second.
Dugcy, who ran for Cravath, scored the
tying run.
It is rather odd that Walter Schmidt, the
PIratos' recruit catcher from Ban FranclBco,
should give his signs by lip motion with
out stooping. Schmidt's brother Charloy,
who was with Detroit for years, and Lou
Crlgor are the only other catchers we know
of who used this method of giving Blgns.
Harry Woherton Is responsible for
Schmidt adopting this system, as ho con
tends that constant crouching to give signs
slows up a catcher and cults a few years
oft his career. .
Eddlo Burns was put off tho coaching
lines for using abusive language to Pitcher
Jacobs. Burns Is doing entirely too much
kicking. If tho Phils cannot win without
adopting the abuslvo methods of the
Braves, tho fans would much rather seo
them lose.
It Is rather odd that tho Mackmen aro
tho only mnjor league team able to repeat
in thq pennant raco nfter winning on the
day tho pennant was raised. Tho Phils
nro not superstitious, however, and believe
that jestcrday's victory Is Just as important
as any other.

How the Dutchman Fears God
and Takes His Own Part
HPHE Dutchman is not pro-Ally. He is not
pro-German. He IS pro-Dutch. Holland
anticipates a military attack by Germany but
does not fear it. She sees in the restrictions
England puts on her trade an attempt to win
markets for British traders, and she resents it.
To Germany and England she says, "A plague
on both your houses.'' But meantime she stands
ready to maintain her boundaries. William
C, Bullitt, of the Public Ledger staff, contributes
an interesting article on Holland as a buffer
nation to
