NO, TEAM IN HISTORY OF BASEBALL GETS BETTER RESULTS FROM BUNTING GAME THAN PHI
Si.-J
Bs
PHILLIES, SLOW AFOOT, ARE
BETTER BUNTING TEAM THAN
.-.' GREAT AGGREGATIONS OF PAST
,,, Moran's National League Champions Derive
Greater Benefit From This Style of Play Than
if Any Club in History of Game
t rpHB uncanny ability of the Phillies to work the squecio play and tho remark
J. abl bunting' ability of tho cntlro team la proving moro effective than tho
fence-breaking; policy of tho past Wnon tho Phillies first became serious pen
nant contenders In 1916 tho feature of tho attack was Ions distance hitting nt
opportune moments. Then Manager Moran gradually got his system of team
play 'working and for tho rest of tho season tho Phillies continually crossed
tho opposing teams by pulling tho unexpected, Tho "squeezo" play was used
with great Bticcess from time to time, but It was not perfected to such an extent
that Moran would risk using It In tho world's series.
Two games might havo been won In the clash with tho Red Sox If tho Phlta
had tho confidence In tho play that thoy havo today. Last season Dodo Paskef t
was rather uncertain In working tho bunting ond of tho play, whllo before
Moran took charge of tho team ho was a poor bunter. Today Paskert Is one
ef the most proficient men on tho team In bunting for a sacrlflco or on tho
squeeio, Cravath, who never know what It was to bunt before Moran took
charge, also Is a dependable bunter now.
The remarkable efficiency of Moran's team In scoring runs without tlio long
distance hitting which featured tho work of tho team last season is perhaps
tho real reason why rival teams aro underestimating the strength of tho cham
pions. There is not a slnglo manager In tho National Leaguo who believes tho
Phils will repeat, while several havo gone so far as to say Moran'a team has
not a chance. Thcso managers cannot boo tho Phillies as champions becauso
they havo failed to realize th'o value of the Phillies' bunting gamo.
"When tho Olants and Dodgers aro not hitting thoy aro holplesa, whllo tho
Reds on Cuba must mako almost twlco tho number of hits to got the same
number of runs tho Phils average. There la only ono team In tho National
League which realizes tho value of tho Moran system and which uses an offenso
similar to that of (ho Phils. That team Is tho Braves and when Stalllngs' team
tarts hitting; It is certain to come fast.
Squeeze Play Responsible for Many Victories
SINCE tho Phillies returned homo tho "squcczo" play has been rcsponslblo
for the winning or tying run in six games, whllo tho plain evory day sacri
fice has advanced runners to a position whoro thoy could and did score on a
single. This has been a dally fcaturo of tho games. Moran belloves in tho old
fashioned system of playing for ono run, but in perfecting tho bunting gamo ho
has not entirely overlooked tho hit and run play. '
Slnco tho hoy day of the famous Baltimore Orioles tbcro has not been a
team, In clthor leaguo so proficient In tho art of bunting and working tho squeeze
and it is doubtful If the Orloloa classed with tho Phils. This famous Baltimore
team was tho first to appreciate tho nluo of bunting, and Ned Hanlon built
a wonderful offenso around tho bunt, which In those days was a despised play.
Tho pld timer could do everj thing In baseball as well as tho present day
star excepting bunts, and tho only reason they could not bunt was becauso
they thought it was a confession of batting weakness which old Umo players
scorned. Hanlon was really tho map who revolutionized tho game. He had
ITcGraw, Kcolor, Jennings, Kelly, Brodlo and Rcltz, who wero fast runners
and consistent hitters, but the "punch" was lacking until Hanlon utilized won
derful place hitting ability of these men and taught them to upset the opposing
Infield by constantly switching from tho bunt to the hit and run.
Thero wero other great bunting teams shortly after this period, with the old
Cleveland team, which later was transferred to St. Louis, probably tho best of
tho lot. Jess Burkett, Emmett Hcldrlck) "Cupid" Chllds, Ed McKcan, Jake Beckley
and Khody "Wallace were members of this team and all wero excellent bunters
and were proficient In hitting behind tho runner. Brooklyn in 1900, with Keeler,
Jennings, Kelly and Do Montrevclle, of tho old Orioles, and Fielder Jones and
Jimmy Sheckard was a great bunting team, but with Lavo Cross, Bill Dahlon,
Kelly and Jennings so proficient at hitting with tho runnor, this system of play
was discarded. "Veteran players claffti that this Brooklyn team was tho greatest
hit and run club In tho history of the game.
Athletics and "White Sox Were Great Bunters
SEVERAL other teams perfected tho bunting gamo, Including the Athletics
of 1902 and tho "White Sox of 1906, but like most other clover bunting teams,
both used tho bunt only to place runners In position to score, discarding it then
for slugging tactics. It remained for Moron to perfect tho bunting game to such
an extent that tho Phillies aro feared more when thoy aro in a slump and play
" iogior ono run, via the squeeze, than when the wrecking crew Is trying to tako
' advantage of the nmall field.
All things considered tho Phillies surpass any team tho gamo has ever seen
at tho bunting gamo, becauso thoy use it as a scoring play. The success of
tho Phillies with the bunting gamo and equeezo play Is all tho more remark
able when ono considers that there la not a slowor team In either league.
On fho bases Moran's men pull somo raro lnsldo "stuff" and by being con
stantly on the move seldom fall to go from first to third or second to ttyo plate
onji single, but judgment, and not speed, la responsible for this.
The Phils seldom steal bases, as there are few players in tho line-up fast
enough afoot to got away with It, but they aro nevertheless a fine base running
team. The Giants, with a team of speed merchants, wero shown up on tho
bases by the Phillies in tho recent series, while Cincinnati, another fast but
poor base running team, was beaten yesterday becauso the Phils used better
judgment on the paths, worked the bunting game to tho limit, and played superior
Inside ball. .
Outhit Three to One, But Won on Squeeze
ACCORDINO to our way of scoring, tho Reds outhit tho Phillies throo to one,
. tho count being 9 to 3, but the official figures gave tho Phils four hits,
Whltted being credited with a single when Mollwltz fumbled his bunt on a
beautifully executed squeeze play. The Phils won becauso they outgeneraled the
visitors and tho victory was duo to tho unusual bunting ability of Moran's team,
the squeeze sending- the first run over the plate and. upsetting the Reds to
such an extent that tho second was a gift.
Until the seventh Jnning tho Phillies made only one hit off Pete Schneider,
Herzog's great young hurler, and with tho Reds batting Alexander the Great
freely. It looked very much as If tho visitors would soon get a break and win.
Stock opened the Phils' half of the Inning with a double to left and was Imme
diately sacrificed to third by Cravath. Then came tho squeeze play with the
reliable "Whltted making good under unusual circumstances, all of which goes to
prove that it is Impossible to break this play up if it is worked properly.
Manager Herzojr called the turn on the play and walked over to the box
to warn Pitcher Schneider and Catcher Wingo. They watched Stock closely
and Schneider was determined to break tho play up by pitching a ball which
Whltted would be unable to bunt, whllo First Baseman Mollwltz came in close
prepared to return the ball to the plate. Stock knew this, but as Schneider
"WQUnd. up ho dashed for the plate. "- The Red infield shouted a warning to
Schneider and he pitched straight at Whltted.
It Was a Play Which Could Not Be Stopped
INSTEAD of dodging, Whltted stepped and bunted the ball straight at Moll
wltz who was within 25 feet of the plate. The ball was bunted hard, but the
big- first baseman would have had no chance to catch Stock if he had handled
the ball perfectly, as tho Phllly third baseman flashed across tho plate before
the ball touched Mollwltz's glove. The latter would have had Whltted nt first
by 20 feet f ho had not fumbled tho ball and that is why wo credited the first
baseman with an error and the Phils three hits,
Whltted advanced to second on nn out and came all tho way home with the
second run on Herzog's wide throw to Mollwltz, which did not roll more than
15 feet away from first base. It was a lucky thing for the Phils that Whltted
Was wide awake and made this tally, as a poor but excusable play by Cravath
gave tho Reds one run and put Herzog on third with one out In the following
iniUng". "
Groh singled with one man out In this inning and Herzog followed with
another safety to right, Tha Phils had a two run lead, but Cravath evidently
overlooked this fact and came In fast for the ball to make a play for Groh at
third instead of playing it safe. The ball and grass were wet, as It was drizzling
tt tho tjm, and when the sphere struck the earth it shot off to the right and
rolled to the fence for a triple, Groh scoring.
It looked very much as if the score would bo tied, but tho Reds had no run
jiroduclng playt such as the squeeze, and Wade Klllefer, brother of , Catcher '
Bill, lifted an easy fly to Stock and tho latter threw out Griffith. In the ninth
Alexander retired the Reds in order.
The valtfa of tha squeeze play was never brought out better than In this
game. Three times the fleds had runners' on third arid one out but could not
cor with the slugging game, while the Phillies did pot have a man that far
In the entire game, barring the seventh inning. When tbey Anally got one to
tBt taton tbey brought him home by playing heady ball.

DILLON COMPARED
WITH WALC0TT IN
BOUT WITH MORAN
To Be Repetition of Giant
Killer Choynski Battle,
Says O'Rourke
PREDICTS KNOCKOUT END
Tom O'nourke, the veteran flght pro
moter, believes that tho Jack Dillon-Frank
Moran bout In Brooklyn June 29 will bo
the greatest battle In tho East since the
old Horton law days O'Rourke, who was
Joe Walcott's manager, compares tha con
test to the memorable ono fought between
the negro glnnt-killer and Joe Choynski At
that time Choynski was a contender for
the heavyweight title and Jim Jeffries'
closest rival, having Just fought a 20-round
draw with Jeffries.
"Tho Moran-DIllon fight may bo another
Walcott Choynski battle," said O'Rourke.
"In those days," continued the veteran, "I
mannged "W'alcott He was welterweight
champion of tho world and the public had
dubbed hlrrr the 'Giant-Killer.' Joo Choymkl
was Jeffries' rival, and I matched Walcott
with him Now, Dillon Is the great 'little
man' battling against the great big fellows
Dillon has been called tho man-killer and
rib crusher.
"Tho old-timers will remember the great
battle that Walcott mado, finally stopping
Choynski In seven rounds Choynski was
a hitter, the greatest of tho heavyweights.
Moran Is a hitter also and the best of the
present-day crop. Dillon Is a rlb-crushlng
fighter, and, like Walcott, a hitter, and Is
aggressive,
"I believe that Dillon and Moran will
put up tho greatest of modern fights; a
much better one than Willard-Moran; a
flght without any titles at stake; just a
fight for the survival of the fittest. I look
for a knockout, but as to who shall score It
I would not like to go on record as saying,
for It Is an even chance. Like all fight fans,
wo all have our choice. Tho first one you
will aBk will say. 'Moran will stop Dillon';
the next one will wager that Dillon will
knock out tho Plttsburgher. It Is this
equally divided opinion that makes the flght
interesting."

What's the Quaint Idea?
You may recall tho names of the hardest
hitting Infield that has played In 20 years
Mclnnis, Collins, Barry and Baker. Three
at least were always good for nny spot be
tween .330 and .360. Then they were scat
tered. Now, what's the quaint idea? Have
you noticed their batting marks of 1016?
Frank Baker, with the Yanks, Is batting
.264.
Eddie Collins, with tho Whito Sox, is bat
ting 248.
Jack Barry, with the Bed Sox, is batting
.216. ,
Stuffy Mclnnis, with the Mackmen, is
batting .183.
There is a saying that is supposed to run
something like this: "United we stand; di
vided we fall." That might be revised to
read, "United we bat over .300; divided we
drop back below .250."
For it Is a remarkaDie occurrence, inci
dent or episode that not one of the old
Macklan Infield Is batting .370, two months
after the season has opened. -
Only one of the quartet is over ,25 and
the average of the four is down around
,225
Knowing1 all the quaint and sudden
upsets connected with baseball, this turn is
the strangest of all, For there Isn't a man
in the bunch who Is yet 30; there isn't one
of them who isn't taking fine care ot him
self; there Isn't an entry In the lot who
Isn't hustling his best and "drawing down
big money for the Job.
Yet here Is the answer a combined bat
ting average of ,225 for Stuffy Mclnnis,
Frank Baker, Eddie Collns and Jack
Barry! And this after two months' play.
There are still one or two other things In
the span of this gams that lie beyond the
philosophy and dpe of all who follow its
winding wake. And this Is pne of them.

"A circulating golf bas of clubs for pub
lic use."
Nearly 400 golfers rose to their feet and
mado the roof of tho Phllmont Country
Club quher when Robert W. Lesley, presi
dent of tho Golf Association of Philadel
phia, jnado this announcement last night
at tho sixth annual dinner tourney of the
association.
"This is the most enthusiastic meeting
of tho association I have evor attended,"
said President Lesley," and It is fitting at
this tlmo to make an announcement of a
move that Is unlquo in golf annals. Wo
hao ono of the best public golf courses
In tho United States and wo propose to
havo the best system of running it. Tho
price of golf clubs prohibits lots of people
from playing golf. The Glmbels, myself
and others, aro going to present td the city
of Philadelphia n string of golf bags that
will reach all the way from here to Cobb's
Creek. The thousands ot golfers In tho
association aro going to fill theso bags, tho
same as Santa Claus fills stockings, with
the clubs they don't want"
Tho idea, Mr. Lesley explained, was to
provldo scores of bags of golf clubs to be
filed at tho public course for hlro, at 10
cents per round.
"We want you to give us the putters that
don't putt, the mashles that don't mash,
the nlblics that don't nib," continued the
president of the association. "You carry
them around with you day In and day out,
but you never use them Thero are hun
dreds of folks who would be glad to havo
a chance to show you that your sticks are
nil right. "Wo aro going to appoint an

If thero aro clubs there for rent, so that

expect hundreds to tako up tho game."
The enthuslastlo diners applauded the
idea to the echo.
President Lesley was the first speaker
called on at the dinner, which followed 36
holes of golf, 18 at tho Phllmont Club and
18 over the Huntingdon Valley links, a few
miles away. s
