if EVENING LBt)GER-PHlLADBLPHI WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1010. l u BRAVES PLAYED LIKE CHAMPIONS AND OUTCLASSED PHILLIES IN ALL DEPARTS! WONDERFUL PITCHING STAFF MAKES BOSTON FAVORITE IN ' NATIONAL LEAGUE STRUGGLE By Holding 26 Players, Stallings Is Enabled to Carry 11 Hurlers, Nine of Whom Are Stars in Splendid Condition MANAOEn PAT MORAN, of the Phillies, waa right, Lnt Thumdny Moran refused to send Alexander the Great to the mound against Brooklyn with the Phillies leading b.V one run after staulnR a sensational rally. A Victory for the Phillies meant four victories .put of flvo Barrys played with the Dodjjern, but the T'hllly mrtnaRcr refused to send his star to tho mound, contending that ho would rather take a chnnco on losing that rt'tno to Brooklyn In order to save Alexander for the serlM with Boston, Which started the following day. Ersklno Mayer was sent to tho mound and tho Phillies were beaten, but Moran contended that the result was entirely satisfactory to him, as he did not fear tho Dodgem so much as tho Braves. Tho Phllly boss had bcon watching the work of the Braves closely for some time, ond was convinced that mailings' team was tho champions most dangerous contender; ond Judging by tho result of the uait terles between the Phillies ond Boston, Moran was Justified In giving ono name to Brooklyn to savo his star hurler for the following sorles. Local fans who witnessed tho five games between tho Phillies and Braves nro unanimous In tho opinion that Btalllngs' team Is tho most powerful and best balanced aggregation In tho National League, unless Boston was playing far nbovo its game and tho Phils were below form Tho PhllUcsgrcro outplayed nt every stage of tho game, and really wore fortu nate to have won tho (list game of tho series. Only the grand pitching of Alex Under and tho fact that tho champions got all tho best of tho breaks prevented Boston from winning tho first game, which would have given them a clean sweep of tho flvo game scries. Tho run which enabled the Phillies to carry tho tlraVes Into extra Innings was a fluke score, a rank error by Compton permitting Alexander to tally. The scoro remained a tie until Whltted clouted tho ball over tho fence In the 11th Inning and gavo tho Phils a 2 to 1 victory. Phillies Faced Best Pitching They Have Seen This Year IT ALWAYS is a question whether grrat pitching or poor batting is responsible tor tho small number of runs and hits ma ii by n team, and the optimistic local fans will console themselves by attributing tho Phillies' defeats to light hitting; but Wo believe that tho Phils wero going at their normul clip and word not able to hit because they wero facing tho best pitching they have seen thtoughout tho season. The fact that Ed Reulbach and Pat Itagon, two veteran pitchers, who wero looked upon rs "has bcons" by some critics a year ago, completely baffled tho l'hllltes. Is given as a reason for tho belief that tho champions wero In a naturnl baiting slump; but as this pair of veterans have staged wonderful "comebacks" ond have been effective against every team In tho league throughout tho season, tho argument loses weight. Fans, players, managers and critics who had watched the work of the Brook lyn pitchers believed that Robinson's staff was In grand shape prior.. to tho sarins with the Phillies. Tho champions batted the Brooklyn pitchers to all parts of tho field, and barring one game agalpst Pfcffcr hit so well that It was apparent that the batting slump had been shaken off. The day following tho scries with Brooklyn, which found tho Phillies batting at a torrlflc clip, Boston arrived in this city, and the fact that tho champions woro at tho mercy of tho Braves' pitchers In flvo successive games Is almost a conUnclug argument that great pitching and not weak batting accounted for tho four suc cessive defeats Outclassed by Braves in Every Department THE champions were outclassed In all other departments as well as In batting. Die Boston defense, base running and fighting spirit wero superior to that of tho Phils, and it was apparent that Moron's team must play better ball if it hopes to win the pennant. Until two weeks ago the Braves had been going along In a haphazard manner because of the absence of Sherwood Mogco and Johnny Evets, two of the most Important cogs In Stallings' team. With theso stars In tho gamo against New York and the Phillies tho Braves have won seven out of nlno games tnd deserved all tho victories gained. Boston appears to be better equipped with pitching material than any other team In tho league. Stallings is carrying 11 pitchers, nlno of whom aro In first class condition. So long as tho National league pormlts Its teams to break tho l-playcr limit rule In such a manner, Boston Ib going to haVo a great advantago on the other teams simply because Stallings is carrying more pitchers than would be possible If tho rule was enforced. Stallings declaros that the Braves cpuld play a double-header every day from August 1 until the end of the season without crippling the pitching staff, and after the brilliant showing made by flvo of his pitchers hero no ono will dlsputo this point with him. Hughes, Barnes, Bagon, Beulbach and Nchf were tho only Boston pitchers Used In tho last series. When one considers that It was not necessary for Stallings to call upon Dick Rudolph, George Tyler or Nick Allen In order to Htop tho slugging pt the Phils. It is not hard to understand why Stallings feels so confident that his pitching staff will turn the tide toward the Braves. Barnes Proves Himself a Great Hurler THE sensational work.of Jess Barnes In the last series uas perhaps tho greatest feature from a Boston standpoint. B.arnes joined the Braves last September tnd won six out of seven games pitched. Stallings was banking upon him to bo the "iron man" of the staff this season, but he got off to a poor stait and was placde on the ridiculous Ineligible list shortly after tho season opened. Ho remained on the Ineligible list until two days before tho scries with the Phillies. Tho youngster hod shown great form In practlco recently, and Stallings decided to take a chance on him against Alexander In preference to wasting a star pitcher. Barnes carried Alexander along for 11 Innings In the first gamo of the series before the Phils won. Barnes' success In this game gavo him confi dence, and he not only pitched the final Inning on Monday, but he also went back against Alexander In the last game of the series yesterday and blanked the Phils. With airtight support Barnes also would have Hhut out the champions in the first game of the series. His sudden return to form gives Stallings an additional pitcher upon whom he had ceased counting. Barnes' ability to stand plonty of work and his remarkable control will make him of great value to Stallings for telief pitching as well as regular work. Phils Pitching Staff Now in Poor Shape 7"gSTERDAY Barnes outpltched Alexander, although the latter had only ono I? bad Inning. The Braves bunched four of their six hits off tho Phllly star In the fourth inning and tallied all of their runs. Asldo from this inning Alexander pitched well enough to have won nine games out of ten. As was the caso in the other games of the series, the Braves developed the "punch" at the right time. Alexander's success in winning the first game of each series, giving the Phillies th Jump on their opponents, caused Manager Moran to do quite a lot of thinking' before he decided to send his star back at the Braves. If the Phils had won either game of Monday's double-header, It Is likely that Alexander would have been given another day of rsst and opened the series with the Giants; but tho three straight defeats at the hands of tho team most feared by the champions caused Manager Moran to change -his plans. The result Is that the Phillies are in a bad way for pitching against the Giants. Alexander will be unable to work in the series with New York starting today, as the schedulo calls for only a three-day stay In New York, Moran's strong point has been arising to an emergency, and the fans are confident that he will pulj the team through the next two series, which really are the turning point of tho season for tho Phillies. Greatest Fielding Game of the Season YESTERDAY'S game was the most sensational fielding contest seen In this city this season, and It is hard to recall a game of recent years where so many spectacular and clean-cut plays wero made by both teams. Often one team plays particularly brilliant ball while the opponents aro staging a mediocre exhibltlgn, but yesterday both teams took a hand at pulling remarkable fielding plays, though the Braves had an edVe in this respect. The Inflelders of Both teams made unusual pUys, with a one-handed catch-' vt a line drive by Maranvllle and Stock's bare.handed stop of BnodffravV grounder standing out as headline play. But the most thrilling features of the game were catches by Magee and Snodgrass. Oddly enough, both lays wers made on balls hit by Dode Paskert, and each wpuld have been good, for a home run if the ball hod escaped the fielder. In the first lnninff Magee mads a enatlmal gloved hand catch of a line drive while running al full speed. He was within two feet of the bleacher wall when he taught the balf; In the eighth inning Snodgrass made the most thrilling pateh of the eeason when he took a drive frpni Paaktrt'a bat Just as he crashed into the Waeh?r wall Jn deep centre. Snodgrass caught the ball with both hands, but with his tack to the home plate It was a wonderful effort.

Ths round had not DroKrua'd vtry far wlun Ilrtnnan wun- what week's beginning, was only flvo games back of Cleveland, leading tho morry whirl Wf may 1hj straggling off tho trail, but as wo recall tho arlous episodes of other joars, this stands as a record for compact ness after two and u half months' play The Two Sections Tho American I.onguo race may bo di vided Into two sections not tho Hast against tho West, but tho Downs against tho Ups In ono section wo havo tho thrco pace inikcis of last year tho threo clubs picked to romp away fiom tho present field Detroit, liouton and Chicago Theso aro tho Ups In tho othor wo havo thrco clubs whero only ono was git en a clianco to fin ish In tho first division Theso aro Cleve land, New York and Washington Yet tho latter threo, for tho first two months havo provided most of tho sensations And the remarkable feature Is that Cleveland and New York wero ablo to start this present week iiimilng 1-2. when they had suffered moro thnn nny other contenders Cleveland has had two star inflelders and two star pitchers out at ivltal spots JCow York has had two pitchers, two In flelders and a star outfielder out lengthy spells So no one can charge their positions to any fancy luck Holding Up In tho battle of tho Ups against tho Downs tho odds are all with Detroit, Bos ton and Chicago Tho test months through the heat of July and August aro yet to come Theso' aro tho months that saw DOBton nnd Detroit Jump to tho front last nummer and pull away from tho field. Two from thin trio aro nulto llkoly to fight It out again, with Detroit favored. Hoth tho ltcd Sox and tho Whllo Sox havo tho material to bo close up. hut all threo will faco far tougher opposition than they over looked for The Case of the Yankees Suppose wo take up the cano of Smiling 13111 Donovan's sprightly Yanks At the start of tho season It generally waa agreed that If tho Yanks wero to mako any giddy showing It would bo through tho flno work of threo stars Frank Baker, I.co Magoo and Hay Caldwell Yet, starling this last Juno week, hore wero tho details' Baker was batting 230 Mngce was batting .222. Caldwell had won 3 games and lost 7. By the laws of tho rickety dopo this slump In such vital places should have been enough to drive tho Yonks down with tho gasping Maclcmcn, who very seldom como up for air. But In aplte of this slump, they began tho week only one gamo from the top Now Baker and Mngeo aro not 23fl and 222 hitters And Caldwell Is no 3 out of 11 pitcher. When tho romplote season's aver ages aro all In Baker Is falrjy sure to bo at 300 or ovor, with Magee up around .280, And Caldwell will havo a good many more victories than thrco packed away In his system. So with this trio up at normal heights tho Yanks will bo oven moro danger ous than they havo been. By several de grees Donovan's Chance Has Donovan a chanco to beat out De troit, Boston nnd Chicago? A fair chance COMPLETE & Mr. George W. Seuffert is a confectioner who works Ji V.T1 11 boyond n doubt. For Donovan has the best defensive ball club In tho game; four good right-handers, two star loft-handers, a brilliant fielding Infield and ono of tho best ground-covorlng outflolds and ono of tho surest In baseball. You can Hay what you will nbout tho value of batting and n stout attack, but a ball club with flno pitching and a strong de fense rarely Is thrown from Its polso. And with this defense. If Baker and Magee reach the batting heights they should hold the attack wilt ba sufficiently powerful to get Its shorn of the runs, For Wally Plpp Is a long-dlntanco hitter and, coupled with Trank Baker, leaves plenty of guncotton nround tho clean-up landing. The White nnd Red Sox Both Ited Sox nnd Will to Sox havo spent most of tho spring and early summer below their normal positions. Thoy havo been gradually working their way up, for tho last two weeks. Thoy aro now In easy rango of tho top onco more, and when Eddlo Col lins begins to Join his batting eyo with the militant orb of Joo Jackson the Old lloman's entry won't be very far away, Tho lied Sox aro Just beginning to get their pitching staff In shape, and when Foster, Iluth, Shore, Leonard nnd others hit top speed thcro will bo a different yarn to spin.
