MOHAN'S BAND DID NOT GAIN GROUND, BUT HAS IMPROVED GREATLY ON LONG HOME Stfjfi
PHILS CLOSE MEDIOCRE HOME -f
STAND WITH PLASH OF 1915
FORM IN ALL DEPARTMENTS
Koran's Champions Are Still Below Batting Gait,
But Indications Are That Slunip Is Over,
While Pitchers Are Improving
mHB first long home stand pf tlio Phillies comes to an tend today. It cannot be
J- laid that It was. satisfactory, bo far as tho games won and lost are concerned,
nd the team failed to shake of tho batting slump which lias held It back since
early In May, but thq general Improvement In all departments during tho last week
Indicates that tho champion have found their strldo, and It probably will be only
a matter of a few days before the sluggers got going.
Tho wonderful ability of Moron's mon to scoro runs on half tho number
cf hits its opponents require was tho great feature of tho home stand, and after
the disastrous series with Bmoklyn the Phillies played a greatly Improved biand of
tall. Only 10 games havo been played, tho final contest with tho Beds today being
tho seventeenth! whereas 32 woro scheduled. Tho flvo postponed games will help
tho Phillies Instead of harming1 them, ns tho champions are better equipped with
dependable pitching materlnl than any of the serious ponnant contenders, who
havo tho same number of double headers to play.
By tho tlmo tho double-headers nro played tho Phllly pitching staff will bo
In, much better shapo, ns Moron's hurlcrs have shown great Improvement within
tho last two weeks, Tho failure of Chalmers and Mayer to tound Into form pre
vented tho Phils from getting a comfortable lead, but both men havo shown great
Improvement within tho last week, while Joe Ocschger Is about ripe for regular
ork. If this youngstor can keep lits nerve, ha will have good control, and If he
has control, tjo is likely to surprise tho fans.
The pitching during tho week was unusually good. Alexander gavo tho
Phillies the Jump by wlnntiib tho first game of tho series from Pittsburgh, and
Demnree, Bender and Itlxey followed with splendid exhibitions. Demareo wabbled
for a brief period late In thu game, and Mnnagor Moron showed cxcellont Judg
ment by Bonding Bender to the mound In tlmo to savo tho game. Bender entered
tho gamo with the scoro tied, and tho Phillies eventually won. IUxov's victory was
a brilliant 12-lnnlng pitching, duel with Jacobs, and gave tho champions a clean
eweep of the series, which Incidentally was the flrst clean-up of tho season.
Starting Alex Each Scries
RETURNING to his 1915 policy, Manager Moron sent Aloxander back against
tho Beda In tho opening gamo of tho series. The result wa's a victory, which
savo tho champions tho Jump on their opponents, which is half tho battlo In n.
J ace where all teams aro so evenly matched. Alexander will have a three-day rest
and can be started off against Biooklyn on Monday.
Of thp 16 games played, tho Phils won only nlno, which Is a trifle below what
may bo termed championship form, but ns only tho Dodgers and Cubs surpassed
this record, and no team enjoyed a winning streak of moro than four consecu
tive victories, but llttlo ground was lost. When tho Phillies returned homo on May
26 they had won 18 and loot 12 games, while Brooklyn wa3 leading, with 17 vic
tories and 10 defeats. Today the Dodgers lead by two full games, with 28 victories
and 16 defeats, whllo tho Phils havo won 27 and lost 10.
Brooklyn's record for tho home stand to date Is 11 victories and lx defeats,
Which is an excellent performance for such an evenly balanced league. The
home stand of tho Dodgers Is not at an end yet, a3 they havo nlno more games at
homo with tho Phillies and New York, starting next Monday. The most dls
couraglng'part of tho Brooklyn home stand, looking at It from a local standpoint,
has been tho wonderful work of Robinson's pitching staff. Pfeffcr, Smith, Cheney,
Xiell and Coombs have been pitching such unusual ball that it has not even been
necessary to uso relief haulers, and Brooklyn has been winning, despite tho fact
that it has not-been hitting as well as it will lator on in the season.
Tho raco is not half over, and the Dodgers havo not passed through tho
most dangerous stago yet, but as tho weeks roll by Robinson's team looks better.
There is no sign of a break In the brilliant and consistent work of the entire
Brooklyn outfit, and It is becoming apparent that tho Dodgets aro tho Phils'
most dangerous Tival, with tho Cubs and Braves likely to upset tho dope at any
time, t
Phillies Able to Win Without Hitting
AS STATED before, one of the most unusual features of tho work of tho PI1IIH03
xi has been their ability to win games without hitting. Another surprising
feature has been tho winning of nine out of 16 games, although greatly outscored
by their opponents. In tho 1C games tho Phillies tallied only 42 runs, an averago
of 2.6 runs to a game, while the opposing teams havp mado 56 runs, or an averago
of 3.5 runs por game. Still more surprising Is the fact that tho Phillies havo
been outbatted almost 2 to 1 for the 16 "games.
New York and Boston have lost ground on tho home stand, during which each
had been counting upon climbing up with the leaders, and the Phillies and Brook
lyn havo Increased their, lead. Judging by tho form shown by both teams within
tho last weolc. either is likely to start a spurt, depending entirely upon the result
of tho series between the two teams next week.
, uniy seven runs nave uoen scorea on me jrniuy pitcncrs in mo last rour
, games, all of which havo been won, and If tho pitchers can show tho samo form
against Brooklyn tho champions should taka three out of four, all breaks being
eyen. It is unlikely that either team will bat vory hard in this series, and tho
ViBldo play of the Phils gives them an edge.

SPECIAL MEETING HELD
Easy to Sec "Why Cleveland Leads
IT REQUIRES only a glance at tho American League averages to learn why
Cleveland Is out In front. Not only is the entlro team batting consistently, but
two men who aro holding' important positions In tho batting order ore batting at
a terrific clip and neither has shown signs of slowing down. They aro Graney,
tho lead-off man, and Trls Speaker. Tho former ha3 an averago of only .257, but
ho Is tho leading slugger of the league at tho present time and has scored 42 runs.
Speaker is batting .394 and his tallied 44 runs, while Turner, who is hitting
second, between Graney and Speaker, has Bcored 33 runs, although ho also is far
below tho .300 class. Gronoy's long drives and his ability to get on base have
given tha Indians the Jump on opposing teams In almost every game, ns Speaker
Invariably comes through with a safety or soma sort of a cacrlflce which enables
tho little lead-off man to score. Other members of Fohl's team following Speaker
have shown unusual ability in thq pinches, which accounts for the brilliant centro
fielder leading tho league In runs scared.
Tho battinn- of 'praneyand Speaker has upset Elmer Myers, Mack's star
hurler, three times. While many runs were scored in each game against Myers,
tho clubbing of this pair started nil tho trouble, and they provided the clean-up
wallops whloh sent home the runs. Just so long as Speaker and Graney keep
going at their present clip tho Indians ore going to lead, and If they can retain
thojr present speed for a few moro weeks tho pitchers and other players will have
bo much confidence that they will not crack, as predicted.
Ebbets Knows Something About Baseball, Anyway
i1HAItLES EBBETS, owner of ths Brooklyn Club, recently gave out an inter
J view criticising the Flatbush fans for not throwing out the old balls when
tho visiting team Is at bat. In tho course of the statement Ebbets said he did not
cara how many oIJ balls were kept by the fans when tho Dodgers were at bat.
Jn other words, all Ebbets wants is a distinct advantage over visiting teams instead'
of a fair and even break.
Ebbets' Idea to criticise the fans came to him when he saw Jack Coombs lose
- closo game to the Braves, Jle says that tho fans kept five dark balls which
had been In play, an4 that Coombs was compelled to pitch a brand-new ball to
"Red" Smith- Two men were out at the time and It was growing dark, so dark
that it was almost impossible to sea a dark ball, but with the new ball ln play
Bmith hit safely. This started a rally, and aided by the new balls (at Jeast that Is
What Ebhet says), ths Braves won out,
Ebbts contends that It a dark ball had remained In play the Dodgers would
havo w,on, and asks the fans to ksep dark balls when the Dodgers aro batting
but to throw them out When the visitors are hitting late In the game, This Is a
surprising statement, and the unsportsmanlike v(ew of the Brooklyn president
nlll not make any new friends for the Dodgers even in Brooklyn.
At a special meotlng of thev Track and
Field Commttteo of tho University of Penn
sylvania, held thli morning at the ofllco
of Paul Thompson, lco president of the
United Gas Improvement Company, Lawson
Robortson was appointed coach of the track
and cross-country teams of tho University
of Pennsyhanla, and with tho suggestion
to the Football Committee that ho be ap
pointed trainer of tho football team. If tho
appointment as football trainer cannot bo
made this fall, the Track Committee sug
gests that It bo made In 1917,
Just how many years Robertson's con
tract will call for and the salary to bo
paid him nro things that were Intrusted
ln the hands of Louis C. Madeira, 3d,
chairman of tho Track and Field Commit
tee, with power to act. Madeira knows
what Robertson wants at coach and how
many years he would like his contract to
run. Robertson will begin work early In
September,
Robertson was engaged to aid ln tho
coaching of tho University of Pennsyhanla
athletes during the month of May, at the
suggoBtlon of "Tod" Meredith, tho captain
of tho track team. Ho more than made
good In th' eyes of tho committee
Robortson Is said by athletes who h.-uo
trained under him to bo pne of tho smartest
coaches ln America. Ho began coaching In
1909. when in Juno of that star he took
hold of tho Irish-American Athletic Club,
succeeding Ernie HJertberg. He was rec
ommended for the place by the Swedish
trainer. RobortBon has developed Kivlat,
Alva Moyer, Pat Ryan, Frank Kaufman,
Emlle Lunhl. Goorge Brender, Kenneth
Caldwell and a host of other American
champions. Since he took hold of the Irish
American team ho has not lost a national
track and field or cross-country championship.

CHARLEY DOOIN INJURED
Hit Over Heart by Thrown Ball at Polo
Grounds
NEW YORK. Juno 17.- The fallacy of
trylns to outwit Inclnlent moisture was
never better Illustrated yesterday than
when the Giants and Cardinals hung around
tho Polo Grounds until 4 o'clock ln the aft
ernoon trying to play a scheduled baseball
game. Two serious Incidents came un dur
ing the wait that depihed each team of a
valued member.
"Red" Dooln, while trying to catch n
wet, Bllppery ball, was hit over tho heart
and carried to the clubhouse, where medical
attention was necessary. Dooln, It was
said, Is pot terlously hurt, but probably
will not be able to get Into the game for
several days.

The song of hate that the shrapnel sings;
The roar of battle the curse the shout
Tho ciash and clamor of friend and foe
Tho rideilcss horse that wheels about
And gallops past to the plains below
Tor out fioni the smoke wreath, far away,
lie hears the patter of little feet
The dim, far call of a child at play,
With babyhood laughter, low and sweet;
The murmur of voices, dream swept far
From tha little path to tho cottage gate.
Where cagcilu under the cvanina star
Mother and child in the twilight wait.
Into the battle the Trooper speeds,
Hut somewlicrc out from the Fai-off Landi
An echo drifts where a soft voice pleads,
And the tender pressure of little hands;
Where a slant of the moondrift spans tha
wall.
And the June winds come to(,' .' va-a'j
breath.
Where out of the blur lost voices call
Over the shrapnel's song of death.
Into the battlo (ho Trooper speads,

Thcro doesn't, howsoever, seem to be any

he already has packed away under his

We have seen 18 reasons advanced show

tho main roason Isn't very far from this
they don't make enough runs.
Either that, or the other club always
makes too many. Which Is approximately
the same thing.

and trainor of the footbajl team,
The terms of the contract have not
been decided upon.
Jerry Travers, Walter J. Travis, Max Mars

And to arrlvo he waB forced to play bril
liant golf at almost every stand.
A golfer who can ravel unbeaten through
fields must bo ranked around "tho top with
tho amateur stars of the game. Yet It has
fallen to Klrkby's lot to have the toughest
sort of luck In the amateur championships,
and It Is this showing in the past that ho
hopes to erase from the slate this fall.
Klrkby Is now playing tho best golf he

share of high-grade play. lie gavo ev-

ho and Carter defeated Travers and Mars
ton in a four-ball match. In tho second
place, the double titloholder Intends to give
this next championship his closest attention,
starting at least a week before the tour
nament. In the third place, Merlon suits Klrkby's
stye of play well beyond tho average golf
er's, as there Is a call both for distance
and direction with the wood and Iron.
Klrkby's game has developed steadily.
Always capable of brilliant play, he has
now added a consistent steadiness to his
game that makes him a hard opponent to
dethrone. In the Jersey championship, for
example, ho finished but one stroke behind
the leader In medal play and then won
the title. In the Metropolitan he finished
ugaln but one stroke behind the medal play
winner, and again went through un

long'irons, Klrkby has materially improved
the steadiness of his short gamo. He Is now
5 o( the best In the land at the phip shot

from ,tha Viewpoint of steadiness on the

By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
DETROIT, Mich., Juno 17. Onco upon
a time the poor, downtrodden baseball mag
nate would gnash his teeth ns ho looked
out of tho window of his mansion at tho
dark, lowering clouds that might Interfere
with tho ball game, and If a faint drlzzlo
began to smear Itself over the landscape
he'd gnash his teeth some more, admit to
tho world at large that he was many thou
sand bucks to the bad, Jump Into his limou
slpo and spend tho day at the club.
But that wa-J once upon a time. Today,
It Is vastly different, A rainstorm of tho
common or garden variety has no terrors
for tho B. M. Ho cares no more for that
than John D Rockefeller does for a nickel.
Only a cloudburst or a cyclone can curb
tne great national game, and this was
proved josterday, when our Athlotlcs nnd
the Detroit amphibians played u full gamo
whllo those samo dark, lowering clouds
spilled their contents over tho players, tho
field and everything else.
Something New
It Is something new In the annals of base
ball when a game is played In the rain.
The moisture began to spill before the
battle was scheduled to begin nnd the
start was delayed 15 minutes. No ono
thought they would dare to nlav. but Um
pire DIneen, after looking over the sheltered
patrons ln the grand stand and Ignoring
tho bugs In the two-bit section, waved his
regal hand and tho stuff was put on ns
per schedule. Tho players were about as
happy as T. It. congratulating Hughes on
his nomination, but tho ump cared nothing
for that. He was there to umpire a ball
game, and ho would do his duty or perish In
tho attempt.
Good baseball was entirely out of the
question. The diamond was sloppy, the
base lines muddy and It was necossary to
have an attendant on the job with a towel
to wipe on: the ball ana the bats after each
pitch. Toward the end whitewash was put
on the bases to show the players their ex
act location. It was more of a farce than a
ball game, and If Mr. Johnson is going to
stand for that kind of stuff, there will bo
some weird stunts pulled on the American
League circuit this year.
Colts Trimmed
Although Connie's kids were trimmed,
they had no license to lose the game. De
troit was presented wltlf four perfectly good
runs and they were Just enough to 90P tho
combat. Charley Pick gave them three and
Wally Schang the other, all of which cama
after wild throws. The'Macks earned their
three scoreB, and although a couple of boots
vvero charged against the Tigers, they did
not benefit the visitors to any great extent.
It Is another examule of tho luck the
Athletjca now nre playing In. They are
trailing the league and everything (break
ing against them. It is necessary to have
a few of tho "breaks" In order to win ball
games and the other fellows always get
them. Nabors pitched a wonderful game
yesterday and made Dubuo look lke a bush
leaguer;, but the wrong thing away3 hap
pened at the wrong time and bloola went
another contest.
Small Roster
Connie Is going to have a eoad ball club
before the season Is over and now, Is weed
ing out his undesirables to make room for
the crop of new players expected next week.
Crowell vvent to Baltimore last Tuesday,
and today Mack announced that Bill JStell
bauer, the outfielder purchased from Peoria,
Rnd Louis Malone, the schoolboy phenom
whq made sueh a hit the latter part pf last
year, had been reliased to St, Paul, in the
American Association. They will leaya for
the new Jobs tomorrow night.
This leave the Athletics with only IB
players, the .smallest roster In the big
leagues, and it gives Mack a chance to sign
up 10 more to keep within the American
League limit. '
