tajor Leagues Should Investigate Charges Made
Against Certain Teams or Baseball Will ,
' Be Dealt Severe Blow
Ut mHMfe at the 1915 season tho charge has been mado by American
stunMv thai tho nitehora of lh Red Box were Intentionally "beanlng

trem tft tt Tho American League tobk no action on tho cnarges, tnougn
m v wuhjmt which came up for much discussion in the loDoy 01 mo noiei
tvis tiw York, at the February mcotlns of tho league.
It aim rasa -han contended that the cltchers of two National laguo clubs
.Wfcpidy tlM iMitiD tactlco, but Presidents Johnson and Tener have laughed at tho
rtptirt. ontendin that no ball player would deliberately endanger me uvea 01
others two such unfair methods to win.
"Wthr thero Is anything to tho charges romalns tobo proved, but tho
climax vr reached yesterday when the players of tha Boston and Washington
reams indulged In a freo-forall nght becauso tho "Washington players believed that
Carl Maya was Intentionally trying to hit them on tho hood with pitched balls.
After Mays had Just grazed McBrldo'B templo with a pitched ball, tho Wash.

iDwad. It finally resultod In three) nlavers bolntf banished from tho game, another

Baseball la Washington was dealt a body blow, and It Is tlmo that a rigid Invest!

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.
' Stalllngs doclared that Alcxandor tho Great would bo easy to hit If ho did not
trlvA tha, nlavera awnv frtm tho Dlato with his fast ball boforo breaking his
-irvo on the outsldo corner of tho plato, and also said that Eppa Rlxoy was rapidly
.developing- Into an artist at tnistricK or. jubi missing mo d .
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

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.

Just as the Tigers were upon the verge of

Ghosts of tho Alamo
(Re-entered for the present oeoaaion.)
There's the tramp of a ghost on the low

An echo that drifts like a dream on its

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 .
Not knowing tho lilt of an old border
tune
Qray shade after shade, stirred again unto
breath,
Qray phantom by phantom they charge
down the gln, ,
TFfters souls hold a hate that Is greater than
death v
TFAero Qhosts of the Alamo gather again.

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. Jack, Merlon, Is nnothor
youth who files Into the 70s frequently,
and Is capable of laying many of his elders
by the hoels. There Is tho Old Tork Road
quartet, tho two McBeans, Kindt, Jr., and
Stevens, who will make going speedy with
a little more experlenco: Walter Wllklns,

Doctor M. Itelffer was obliged to de

It was decided to let him play In the de

first round and played In a 'foursomo With
J. It. McFarland, Jr. When these two came
In at S p. m. they found they were paired
nRalnst each other, as both had drawn de

McFarland laid himself a stymie In ths

the first four holes. He braced for the
finish to pull out tho match, but Doctor

and sewed up the match, 6 nnd 4. He won
a regular match yesterday and entered tho

Flash, Then Stygian Blackness
Mlraoles happen In golf almost as much
as they don't happen In real life. 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." We studiously refrain
from comment on tho subject:
Sandy McNlbllck I saw In your valuable
column what "A Dopeater" had to Bay about
tho ten best golfers in Philadelphia. I think
ho had his dope badly mixed up. outclde of a
few plnjers I can't ace why wlllouailby isn't
entitled to first place aa champion, and while
Clarcy Is Rood, no doubt, he hasn't played

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.
Other Vets

champion so long that most people have
forgotten any rival. Vet Lyon Is well be.

And Then John Ball
In 1888 John Ball won the amateur cham
pionship of Great Britain. Twenty-four
years later he won the same championship
for the eighth time. Imagine a champion
In any other sport regaining the top 24"
years after his first successl
Ball Is now around 60, and yet today ha ,
finds no trouble In returning scores In the
low 70's.
Ball and Travis are the two greatest vet
erans golf has ever known, but there aro
any number of star golfers who range be
tween EO and 65, men who are hard to
beat In match play even by the best of the
younger stars.
