Stalling Says Phltly Pitchers Use Bean Ball DOJUNG tho recent Phllly-Boston sorlos soveral of tho champions contended - that Jess Barnes and Tom Hughes, of tho Braves, woro using tho "bean ball," i but tho, Umpires rofusod to listen to tho claim. While discussing tho subject, Man ager Stallngs declarod that thero is not a good pitcher In tho gamo who does not ' try to drive tho batsmen away from tho plate. Ho said that tho pitchers seldom T trUd to hit; a battor, but merely sought to drlvo him back so that they hod tho o batter fcacldng-away when ho camo back with a pltoh outsldo. W reminded him that Joss Barnes had Quito a reputation aa a "fcoan ball" ?.uttit la tha Central Association, according to Bill Meyer, tho Athletics young i'atohr, who handled Barnes delivery at Davenport, and that he had hit Lew kXKM In Miami after warning Malono to step baok. Btalllngs denied that Barnes I would Intentionally htt a player, and addod, that tho new star of his staff would Vevex miss a battor If ho aloicrt at him, as it would bo Impossible to dodgo his rlflo ?lke speed.

Thero has beon too much talk of "beanlng" In the major leagues this season ftii tho chargoa to bo entirely without foundation, and substitutes sitting on tho bench aro of ton heard shouting, "Dust him oft I" or "Set him down I" to tho pttchor. Haseball has advanced beyond tho rowdy stage, and It is to bo hoped that it Is jwt allowed to fall back to whoro It was 25 years ago. An Investigation is nec essary, and if a pttchor Is found guilty ho should bo barrod from tho game. It was twly a few daya ago that Johnny Dodge, he ox-PhUly third basoman, was killed wlUia pitched ball thrown by Rogers, of Nashvillo. a pitcher said to have had a 'reputation for using tho "bean ball." Athletics Outclassed by Yankees Again rflHB Athjatlca lost to tho Yankees again, and also failed to scoro.for tho second J. successive day. Enough hits woro mado by tho Maokmen to havo tallied several times, but they Invariably camo after two men had been rotlrod or the succeed ing batsmon proved easy for Ray Fisher, the voteran star of Donovan's team, who bus at last roundod into shape Thero really was little to tho gamo. As was tho caso In tho flrst two games of the Bories, tho Yankees git tho Jump In tho flrst inning and had a commanding lead boforo the Mackmon rwilfzed what had happoned. Incidentally, Frank Baker has supplied a clean-up wallop in tho flrst inning of each game, and all but ono of bis hits during tho series havo played a prominent part in tho scoring. Joe Bush was not batted much harder than Fisher, but tho Yankees played mart ball, and also bunched thoir safeties well. Tho 11 hits mado by tho Yanks wero bunched in four scoring innings, whereas tho eight safeties made by tho Mackmon wcro scattered through seven Innings, and they failed totally In tho pinches. I From a local standpoirt tho feature of the gamo was the slugging of Amos Btmnlc Tho fleet centre flolder mado four hits In as many times at bat on Thurs day and camo back with a triple and two singles 'yostorday. Lawry, the Mack meruit from Maine, also provided a few plays which caused the 'fans to enthuse. Tils bare-handed stop of Pecklnpaugh's drive over second was easily the featuro fielding play. At bat Lawry did not look very good, but, desplto a lame leg, showod wonderful speed getting down to flrst base. Phils and Alexander Also Lose AS THE Phillies also went down to defeat while the Braves wore taking tho CX measure of tho Dodgers, it was a rather unprofitable day for tho local teams. The loss of the gamo by tho Phillies was discouraging in Itself, but tho fact that Alexander tho Great was driven from tho mound made it doubly so. It was the second tlmo since tho opening of the 1915 season that Alexander has been driven from tlw mound, and-the Giants turned the trick both times. Tho Philly star has retired from a losing gamo several times, but becauso Moran wanted to substitute a pinch hitter, and not because It was apparent that tho 'Nebraska wonder could not stop tho. hitting. About tho only redeeming feature of tho gamo was the slugging of Cravath, whose bat has been idle fpr some time, so far as delivering run-producing hits Is concerned. Cravath mado a homo run and triple, both being terrlflo drives of the 1915 typo. As Cravath alwayr. has been a streaky hitter, yesterday's performance zaay start him on therampoge again. It would surely help, as tho Phils appear to lack; the punch in a pinch a feature of their play which won tho pennant last season. McGraw Thinks He Has Best Collegian MANAGER McGRAW, of tho Giants, is convinced that he landed the greatest college tall player in tho country when ho signed Hank Stafford, the Tufts College second baseman, ard several very good Judges of young talent agree with tho New York manager. College players seldom can be Judged by their batting records, as tho calibre of pitching la so different from that which they will faco Jnthe major leagues. Tho one thing about Stafford's record that attracted McGraw was his 30 tolen bases In 22 games, which Is far above the work of all other collegians, excepting Lawry,. tho Mack recruit, who was only five thefts below In one less game. As a rule, college Mil players aro miserable base runners, and a scout Will do well to watch how a youngster acts on the bases before tying his club to a ravy contract. McGraw got one of the hardest hitters In the collegiate game when he signed Stafford; also a fast, heady base runner and a consistent fields. Wo have been told that Manager Mack wanted Stafford badly, but that the Giants have had a string on him for almost thmo years. McGraw does not Intend to use Stafford at all this season, but will school him to take Larry Doyle's place, as the veteran has ot many more years to go. " Manager Jennings, of the Tigers, has little confidence in college ball players, though he has been prevailed upon to sign up two highly touted youngsters. Jennings signed both Walt and Beck, of Columbia, but has sent them to a minor league team without even giving them a major league trial. Several teams were so anxious to get this pair that they would have carried them with tho team (or a year or two, but Jennings says they must have seasoning, and cannot get U properly on the bepch. On tho other hand. Manager Mack says that collegians, lairing pitchers, cannot get the proper experience any place but on the bench. C&arley Hr5 hast been bunting for a second baseman for two years, but said that ha would btr' satisfied with a third baseman who could handle the position wWnough to pjake it woith while to switch Heinle Groh back to second. One irytc ttgrt no ordered former Catcher Von Kolnltz to report to the team, 'and lmme tHfttetr sold him to Chicago, Jpa Tinker placed Von Kolnltz at third base, and the CtM?eton lad haa proven a sensation. Ha was hurt yesterday, but will be back ftl Uw same soon. Thus Herzog baa passed up tha one man he needed to make th J$sd a pennant contender, because he did not havo patience enough to allow Yw Kolivlu to remain at third wlien.be gave him a brief trial at the position istyarv THINGS THAT DO NOT HAPPEN IN GOLF w I HtftG IT 15- OVit-' I LISTEN i - ObB- V MTch! ) j Iffiflkt) V JM.

IfIS' EVANS WINS OPEN GOLF TITLE WITH A RECORD SCORE Chicago Amateur Leads Field in National Event by Two Strokes J. M. BARNES IS THIRD MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., July 1. An amateur, Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr., of tho Edgewater Club, Chicago, four times West ern amatour golf champion and onoe win ner of the Western open title, added the capsheaf to his laurels yesterday by win ning tho national open golf championship over tho Mlnlkahda links, with a total score of 288 for tho 73 holpB. Thus for tho third tlmo In four years premier honors In the open classic havo been captured by an amateur, and this time by tho lowest scoro since tho Inception of the championship In 1894. The boat previous score was 290, made by George Sargent at Englewood, N. J., In 1909, and by Walter Hagen at the Mid lothian Club, Chicago, In 1914, when Evans was runner-up with 291. Evans won the title by a margin of two strokes, for Jack Hutchinson, a Pittsburgh professional, by clipping ono stroke from the course record of 69, set by Evans Thurs day, turned In a card of 08 for the afternoon round yesterday, which gave him a total of 288. J. M. Barnes, the Phila delphia professional, was third with 290. Par for the course Is 72, and the course rec ord was 70 until lowered a stroke Thurs day by Evans. The distance of the course Is 6160 yards. Evans, who Is credited with holding more course records than any other ama teur, played consistently and In good form today. Ills drives went long against a rathor stilt wind that swept the courso In the afternoon and his putting was accurate. He turned In a card of 147 for the 30 holes, which, with his 139 of Thursday, brought him victory. Ho played the flrst nine holes of the morning In one over par. Ho had dlfll culty on the fourth hole, where he was forced to take three putts when he had an easy four In sight Tho large gallery which followed felt that the break had come, but Evans recovered, and thereafter played well. He experienced the same trouble at the samo hole In the afternoon, taking four putts. Otto Hackbarth, tho Cincinnati profes sional, equaled the record set Thursday by Evans by making a 69 yesterday morning. ANY CLUB WITH FINE PITCHING STAFF ATTACHED TO F.

Just how many believed the Braves were going to win In 1914, or the Phillies In 1916? Any ball club that has a fine pitching staff attached to John Franklin Baker Isn't to be over looked In the October shuffle. Just as the Tigers were upon the verge of having the American League race sewed -up they bumped Into the Browns. Whereupon a great unraveling process took place. We have no doubt that we are all wrong about It, but wo have the hunch that the American League race Isn't going to be sewed up until about the 6th or 6th of October. Dopo Is a queer Institution. We were re liably Informed by an expert of consider able Btandtng early In the year that Joe Jackson had seen his best days and was about through. "Jackson," he said, "won't be batting .290 this season. Watch." Just at present Jackson Is batting only .377, and moving up week by week. Ho Is all In and through, like the Russian army. An esteemed New Tork paper refers to the "butta porcha golf ball." Well, we've hit a few, at that, that felt as If thoy were made of butter. "Mexicans know what war Is." They will know still more about It when John Reed Kllpatrlck launches one of his flying tackles If the old Tale end over gets across the Rio Qrando. Ghosts of tho Alamo (Re-entered for the present oeoaaion.) There's the tramp of a ghost on the low winds tonight; An echo that drifts like a dream on its tooy; There's the blur of a speotre that leaves for the fight, Grave-risen at last from a long vanished day. There's the shout and the call of grim soul unto soul, As then rise, one ty one, out of death's shadowed glen. To follow the bugle (As drum's muflled roll Where Qhosts of the tlamo gather again. I hear" Crockett's voice as he leaps from the dust And waits at the call for an answering hail; And Bowie caresses a blade red with rust As deep in the shadows he turns to tho trail; Still lost in the darRness that covers their sleep Their bodies mag rest in a sand-mounded den, But their spirits have 'come from the red, starrv steep Where Qhosts of the Alamo gather again. Tou think they've forgotten because they have slept The day Santa Anna charged in with his slaves, Where five thousand men on a bare hun dred swept And stormed the last rampart that stood for their gravest You think they've forgotten; but faint, from afar, Brave Travis is calling the roll of his then, And a voice answers "Beret" through the shadows that bar Where Qhosts of the Alamo gather again. There's a flash on a blade and you thought it a start ' There's a light on the plain and you thought it the moont Tou thought the wind echoed that anthem of wart .

Burton Wipes Out Dope By' SANDY McNIBLICK DOORS of tho Incubator are open and some protty cocky roosterettes strut about the barnyard. Philadelphia veteran golfers are going to have their hands full for the rest of the season with the swarm of youngsters that has suddenly Invaded the field. College and schools are over and vacation lay-offs are ripe. Tho rookies In the Hold of golf tourneys aro going right after the old-tlmors In most embarrassing, to the lat ter, and persistent fashion. Somo of tho mombors of the Old Guard, golfers who have won many honors here and elsewhere for tho city In the past, are .beginning to falter, nnd It Is a comfort to look In the eager faces of tho youngsters nnd find the vim and amblsh to go through with a tourney to tho last boll. But tho best part of It Is the way tho veteran players coach the recruits along and encourage them. Francis B. Warner, seorotnry of the Golf Association of Philadelphia, deserves a world ot credit for tho way ho paired up tho youngsters In the championship that ends today. Ho gave each a veteran partner to steady tho lncllned-to-bo-fltghty Juvenlle'a game. The results showed the wisdom of this, for a quarter of tho field to qualify was mado up of tho youth of the city who en tered the tltlo tilt for tho first time. To Be Specific Most promising Is George W. Hoffner. brother of Charlie,. Hoffner, playing pro of Phtlmont Both players have the Borne beautiful form. George Is a better putter than his brother nnd oould beat htm, experts agree, If he had aa rouoh tlmo to play. To play In the semi finals of the championship, which was only his second tournament, Is no mean accom plishment. The gallery was greatly Im pressed by his form. He was off In ohlp shots, which are his long suit usually, and a series of stymies did tho rest. Moredlth M.

We could sort out a dozon of them from our memory In no time at all, a chronicle of all the things that "might have" happened and did. But for seventh wonders wo refer readers to the marvel of the recent golf of H. Wellington Wood, Atlantlo City expert. Ho had worked up to ith climax of his 7B-78 for tho medal nt Wilmington by brill iant shots Just before.. In which he had hard luck on some holes that spoiled his totals. When ho turned his Delaware dazzlor some thought he had solved his troubles and could hold tho pace. But sel dom In tho annals hns tho crash of a "hero" been more abrupt. Ho was Just plain swamped In that tourney by over whelming lickings. A 97 wns tho best he could get In his efforts of the first round to qualify for the city championship. II. Wellington Wood, himself, Is the most puzzled as to his Budden drop. He can attrlbuto It to many things. Ho quotes from Ezeklel, "They put mo In a bottom less pit and they kept mo there," which they surely did. .Wo pick this one out of a trio of letters on the same lino which wcro evoked by tho first letter to the editor, picking the "best 10 golfers."

GOLF KNOWS NO AGE LIMIT AMONG' ITS GREAT GENIUSES By GRANTLAND RICE There is one game that knows no age, That moves beyond Time's guarding spaces, So long as one is young at heart And yearns to know the open places; So long as one still has the strength To swing a club and then to follow Tho clean drift of the Ancient Qreen By stream and dale, by hill and hollow. There is one game that turns the clock On back to Horning through the heather; That drives away the drifting years, Where Age and Youth are one together, Where Time is nothing, so that one Hay love the sun and wind about him, To know the sky and grass are close Where only death can ever rout him. Golf Is theone game that doesn't close Its doors to those who havo passed B0. Vouth must be served In all other sports but those who have faced Walter J. Tra!s, Bryan IJeard and many others, know Vouth la not always served In golf. A few years ago In an amateur cham pionship there were two entries paired. One was 64. The other was 17. Both flnlBhed among the flrst 64 and they were but one stroke apart. What other game could show this evenness In a championship where the two contestants were 47 years apart? The Case of Travis Walter J. Travis took up golf around the ,age of 86. That age would have been, the 'finishing point In nearly every other pas time. As a ban player, a tennis player or a boxer he would have got nowhifre. But golf Is mora, a matter ot nerve and mental control than It Is of physical abil ity. For Travis, starting) at 35, rs able to win the American amateur championship three times and the British amateur cham pionship once. And well on beyond 50 Wal ter J, won the Metropolitan championship by beating such young stars as Jerry Travers and Oswald KIrkby, two of the finest amateurs In the land.
