Now and Are Winning Rampant Rowdyism
Should Be Suppressed Mack's Hand Forced
m
A MEMOHTl as long as that of the Oldest Inhabitant Is not required lo recall
XXtho dark days whfln the question "Whn's the matter with the Phillies?"-
waa peddled along Chestnut Btroct and
street. Tlmo was when It was Impossibles to stop and converse with a llfolong
friend without the hated query being put and never satisfactorily answered,
for the very Rood reason that no one knew Just what WAS the matter with the
Iiomo talent, it took a master hand Hko Pat Moran's to unravel the thing and
foreVer put a quietus on the 'disturbing words.
The memory of the fun Is proverbially short, and eo many havo forgotten.
Here and. there, however, are found earnest souls who recall this dismal period,
and It is these atone who realize what a discouraging spring It has been for
Chicago Whltp So rootcrj. Also only these appreciate what a relief the Windy
City fans must fcef with tho long slump apparently dissipated and with It the
question which has been whispered and shouted along the toko Shoro Boule
vards "What's the matter with tho White Sox?"
Here was a team tt high-priced stars. No one could question tho Individual
ability of any one man, their pitchers wore as good as tho average, there did
not appear to be any Internal friction, tho manager apparently was oxerclslng
big league Judgment, tho base-running was good In short, there did not appear
to be any good reason why Iho Chicago White Sox wcro not out In front leading
the parade. What, thon, was tho trouble?
White Sox Tried to Murder the Ball
SUDDENLY, about ten dayn ago, tho team commenced to win ball games with
a regularity that shocked rival managers. Tho latest exploit of Rowland's
men was to take four straight games from tho ferocious Detroit Tlgors. At once
tho Chicago fans forgot to nsk "What's tho matter with tho White Sox?" and
at the present time aro raising their voices In riotous acclaim.
However, the correct answer was found by some ono, nnd by somo ono with
authority to correct the evil. It may havo been Manager Rowland; It may havo
been President Corritskoy; It may have been the bat boy; but the mystery was
solved and thr remedy applied. The effect has been noted by all, but the causo
studied only by tho fvV who draw a weekly stipend for perpetwting moro or
less "wise stuff" to tho Dear Old Public. Being ono of these, wo submit tho
following:
The expensive tnlont herded by Mr. Rowland was making a frantic but vain
effort to kill tho ball. Each and overy man was walking up to tho plato and
attempting to ride tho poll't out of tho lot. As a consoquenco their hitting power
was reduced about 30 per cent, (apologies to Mr. Fullerton), nnd cvon tho most
humble of us realize what happens to a team which Is only cashing 70 per cent,
hitting power. There never was a team able to mako such a sacrifice and get
away with It.
About two weeks ago the Whlto Sox wero shown tho light. Slnco thon they
Imply havo been meeting the boll and getting results. If thoy continue thoro
can bo but ono development tho team which wins tho pennant must bent Row
land's aggregation.
Three Flagrant Cases of Ilowdyism
WHAT midsummer madness has seized our national pastlmors sa early In
the torrid period? On Friday, Sam Agnew, of tho Boston Red Sox, knocked
Manager Grim'.h, of tho Senators, out with a left Jab or a right hook or some
thing, and on-y by the narrowest margin was tho matter kept out of a pollco
court. On Saturday, Wild BUI Donovan, skipper of the Yanks, is said to haws
delegated an ex-puglllat to lnvado tho upper pa-lllon at Shlbo Park for the pur
pose of cha'stlslng a spectator whoso only offense was In calling Bill's attention
to the fact that ho (Bill) once played ball In Katrmriunt Park. Yesterday Ty Cobb
was so annoyed at an umplre'c decision that ho flung his bat Into tho grandstand.
'Iho most surp.-lsing feature of the affair is that Ty did not hit a spectator. Wo
thought his a'm was much better.
Ban Johnson woulu do v. ell to Impress on Sam Agnew this fact: Baseball
fans pay money to seo baseball and not an exposition of tho flstlc art. It might
alro be advisable for Ban to call Bill Donovan's attention to the foot that it is
tho fans; piyrogatlvo to yell at the players Just so long as he does not uso abusive
or foul language, and that It Is bad form to send a henchman into tho stands
to inflict bodily harm on a man who pays coin of tho realm for a seat.
And then, If Ban is m-t exhausted by his efforts, let him inform Ty Cobb
that a seat in a baseball jrnrk nhould not bo as precarious a Bpot as standing
room in tho trenches at Verdun. A baseball bat Is a harmless thing in Itself,
but It Is a mighty dangerous weapon In tho hands of Ty Cobb, whether ho bo
uwlnglng it at a ball or swinging it Into tho grandstand.
Baseball has progressed too far for things such ns these to happen. Thoy
should not occur onco In a eeason, and yet they appear to have becomo a dally
feature. vv
Diploma Holders Get Quick Action
FATE has forced Connlo Mack's hand. The astuto leader gathered a flock of
diploma holders on his baseball premises recently with an Idea of edging them
Into tho activities after they had spent sufficient time watching such masters ns
Lajole, Witt and Mclnnls to becomo real ball tossors. And now, because of a
series of injuries, the youths have had to hustle into tho game despite tho fact
that they are not in the best of condition. Most of tho men have Just Jlnlshed
hard campaigns on college diamonds and need a reot badly.
It will require time to discover Just how good the boys are, but they all look
promising. Lawry, Rowo and King' havo been seen in action, and thus far they
only have proved one fnct conclusively, and that Is that they are all fast on
the bases. Lawry played a fine game against the Yankees on Friday nnd Satur
day and his work afield was a revelation. Ho handled fast bounding balls in
a way that left little to be desired and generally conducted himself like a regu
lar ball player.
Neither Rowo nor King has shown much heavy stick work as yet, but both
go after everything. The former has hit the ball hard, but has not been able
. to get the ball where they ain't. King's stick work shows promise.
Phlla Have Recuperative Power
MORAN and his champions appear to bo having moro or less of & stormy time
these days. Since coming from their first Western trip the Phillies havo
-been unable to put together a winning streak of any length, nor havo they had
a loslns streak that looked particularly dangerous. A lot of their supporters
are disposed to become discouraged whenever tho champs lose a few games, and
there are those who abandon any hope of another National League pennant
coming to Philadelphia every time their favorites lose a game.
The very fact that a long losing or winning streak is missing is evidence
that tin. Phils are a pennant contender because of their reserve power nnd ro
cuperative abilities. Pat Moran Is the type of man who is able to rally his men
In a moment of defeat. When they lose a couple of games they do not so to
pieces, but go out and fight all the harder next day. Very often a team finds
strength in defeat, and this seems to be the case with the Phils.
On Friday of last 'week they lost a close game to the New York Giants. It
was an unusually hard blow for the reason that Alexander was the losing
pitcher. Few followers of the game thought that the Quakers would come back
on Saturday with a victory, but that is Just what they dd. The Phils are Just
as full of light as Messrs. Agnew, Donoyan and Cobb, but they work it out along
different lines.
THE brilliant work of Ako, younff twlrler of the fast Chineeo University nine,
drew considerable comment from fans who watched his performance against
the Stetson team on Saturday. The Chinese twlrler made what is believed to be
a new eemlpro record In this vicinity when he struck out 15 of the Hatmakers
during the seven innings he faced them. Hoy Thomas' proteges nicked htm for but
four hits and two runs.
ONE sure way of trimming the Mexicans would be to send down copies of
Barney Preyfuss' statement on the Slsler case and let them laugh them
selves to death.
THE way in which the loyal guardsmen are handling "slackers' who refusa
to take the Federal oath causes one to ponder on whether It takes more nerve
to light the Mexicans than it does to refuse to fight them.
THE pitchers of both Boston teams hav been accused of using the "bean
balL" What more can be expected of teams from Boston?
BEA?S BECKER, late of the Phillies, is leading the batters of the American
Association with an average of .325. Why not, Deals, Beebe did it?

Harvard Backstop Accepted
224 Chances During Season
Without an Error
TUFTS LEAD IN FIELD
Dick Harte, a Philadelphia boy, who in
addition to being directing genius of the
Crimson nine also performs occasionally
In golf and tennis, led all colleglato catch
ers In tho lnnt season. In 25 games the
Harvard backstop handled 224 chances with
no semblance of an error.
Tho fast Tufts team, which clubbed Its
way to the top of the bnttlng averages for
the college teams, also blazed tho way In
fielding, carrying off tho honors with a per
centage of .964, four points In advance of
the Harvard aggregation.
Columbia, ranked ns ono of tho best
teams In the East, had a defense whoso
strength was .963 In cold figures, and Dart
mouth was a clone second one point to tho
rear of the Mornlngsldo Heights combina
tion. Ynlo Is credited with 949 and dear
old Tenn accepted enough chances to merit
tho same percentage as Eli.
If tho figures Bpeak the truth, nnd they
do say that figures don't He, blue-ribbon
outfielders among the collegians were as
plentiful as war reports. No fewer than
16 passed the season without making a boot
nnd tho 17th, Sullivan, of Georgetown, real
ly looms up as tho best of tho lot. Sullivan
negotiated 94 putout.i nnd mado two as
sists, being charged with only ono error.
The Individual leaders among those who
played their positions regularly were: Cass,
Georgetown, first base j Perkins, Dartmouth,
second base! Sheplcy, Yalo, third base;
Saunders, Tufts, shortstop; Percy, Harvard;
O'Connell. Cornell: Sclbcrt nnd Stntlcr.
Williams, outfielders; Smith, Columbia,
pitcher; Hnrte, Harvard, catcher,
Johnny Spollmnn, or Pcnn, ranks fourth
among tho pitchers In fielding behavior,
while Whlttaker, tho Tufts moundsman,
Blgned by Connlo Mnck, stands tenth.
Bobby Watt, of Columbia, ran second to
Perkins, of Dartmouth, In the struggle for
fielding honors around and near the key

Buxton's Golf Pace Will
Wreck Many, 'Tis Felt.
Jim Barnes Deserved
Better Fate
By SANDY McNIBLICK
"I cin't oay I havo ns much confidence In
my chancea as my friends seem to havo, but
I will do my utmost when the times comes,
Just the sama as all the other golfers hero
will do."
This Is the answer Cameron B, Buxton,
Huntingdon Valley, now-found champion of
the Golf Association of Philadelphia, to tho
hopeful discussion anions fans as to tho
"whys and why-nots" of his chances In the
natlonal'champlonshlp to be settled at Mer
lon In September.
"It Is a raro opportunity for we players
right hero at home," said Buxton, "nnd bo
tween the lot of us wo ought to bo ablo to
make things lively."
Tho now champion who has at last como
Into his own. Is playing the Kolt of his
life. He haB had bright spots in the past,
but he also linn had his gloomy ones.
In former local championships ho was
almost Invariably put out In the first round
by some one, as he says himself, "that was
never heard of." But thla year the Noble
comet had no opposition to his too offerings.
Bounds between 70 nnd 7G wrapped tho
brown belt around his wulst. Ho looked
good In tho tourney, very good. Ills nt-last
ability to como through will add kilometres
of confidence to his game.
Can Look 'Em in the Eye
He knows, and can play, the Merlon
course almost as well as his own, and he
knows that he can give the fellows at the
top of American golf a licking In match
play or else a beautiful run for tho tape.
Buxton beat John O. Anderson, nation
alist finalist last year and 1913, in the
Lynnewood Hall going, and after being 2
up at tho turn In tho finals was only
beaten by Maxwell It. Marston on the 17th
hole after he had given the golfer, touted
as this year's champion, a near-panic.
Buxton led that match most of the way
and If he hadn't spoiled about two putts ho
would have had the match sewed up for
his own.
With the memory of the upsets the Do-
trotters were able to effect last year on
their homo grounds, the prospect Is en
couraging this year In Philadelphia. All
season Buxton has drummed few shots
outside the 70s.
He Is set for September.
If, by all the unsuspected and wild
whirligigs of golf, anything SHOULD hap
pen, the new "champeen" saya there's not
enough "shampeen" In the city to commem
orate. We lick our chops.
There would Indeed be cause for hysteri
cal huzzahs and heaving of pride-beaten
bosoms. Bight now this city holds the
women's national championship, and It
came so mighty close to winning tho open
that many thought the victory had been
won.
Hold Your Tears, He'll Win Yet
James Mortimer Barnes, the tall tutor
player of Whltemarsh, came within a quin
tet of gentle putts In bringing the most
coveted classic laurels to this Common
wealth. '
To play "even Stephen" with U5 on all
three days of his rounds at Mlnlkahda and
then not to finish better than third Is our
Idea of supreme disappointment,
The most of us are fairly free with our
golf shota and think nothing of taking one
wherever the occasion demands. But play
ing In the 70s Is cutting awful close to the
bone and what must be the agony of soul
to the golfer in the open who has taken
extra shots?
"I'm out of It," he cries In torture as he
misses a putt. If Barnes had taken one
less shot on each of his four rounds he
would havo run Into a tie' with "Chick"
Evans, who won the title.
As It was, Barnes was even nosed out of
second place by Jack Hutchinson, of Pitts
burgh. This Smoky City pro might have
won the event but he "blew up" on his
last round.
He only got a 68.
Barnes was fourth last year and was
heavily backed for this year's crown. But
the curly-headed marvel is In the hey-day

YOU havo rend quite a bit lntety about
tho vnluo of sport as training for the
trifle rougher gamo of war.
Sport has given tho United States the
finest war "mnlcrlal In men thnt any other
country on tho map can know. For In base
ball, football, golf, tennis and track there
are close to 8,000,000 between the ages of
18 and 4B who havo received this training,
Sport iIocr moro than develop stamina,
speed, power nnd other physical qualities.
Most sport Is competitive nnd In theso com
petitions resourcefulness Is n natural prod
uct. Courage Is also recognized as one of
tho chief assets of any contender In sport,
nnd In this wny a tradition of courage or
ncrvo ins been built up from many fields.
How, you might nsk, could playing golf
help In tho war game? In this wny, nt
least The nvorago golfer Is soon trained
to play 30 holes n day. This means the
ability to wnlk 12 or IS mites without effort
up and down hill. Tho nvcrngo golfer Is
also soon tnught how to tako care of tho
condition of his feet, which Is no small part
of active service.
Most sportn develop quick thinking In
emergencies nnd n. steadiness under heavy
pressure
You might ndd thnt nn Insignificant Turk
wnB nblo to kill Wilding, ono of tho leading
sportsmen of the day. This Is true enough.
But 10,000 Wildings facing 10,000 of far
lighter cntlbro would bo nnothcr matter.
An Inside Tip
Sir If you wont nn Inside tip on tho
location of tho next world scrl6s, hero It
Is: Detroit nnd Boston. Tho Tigers are
going to win tho Amorlcnn Lcaguo race and
tho Braves are going to lnnd tho National.
If you don't get your hotel reservations In
time, you can't say that you were not duly
advised nnd warned, L. P. F.
Then, ngaln, wo may not havo to travel
any further than from tho Yanks' park at
tho Polo Grounds on over to Brooklyn.
Dillon the Wonder
Among thoso listed ns Master Marvels
In sport should bo included Jack Dillon, tho
Indiana man-eater.
Dillon's showing ngalnst Mornn was ono
of tho most Impresslvo performances of the
sporting year. It was a far finer achieve
ment In every way than Moran's showing
ngalnst Wlllnrd, or Wlllard's showing
ngnlnst Mornn. Although 35 pounds light
er, Dillon outpointed Moran by a much
wider margin than "Wlllnrd did. Ho hit the
Pittsburgh blondo oftencr nnd he hit him
about as hard.
Moran had the record of having stood up
nnd slugged with Jack Johnson and Jess
Wlllard, but this had no effect on Dillon's
showing.
This Monsieur Dillon Is tho toughest sort

of a bird, discoursing puglllsttcalty. They
don't travel any too rough to suit him, nnd,
although for lighter, he can soak up as
much punishment na Moran, who Is another
tough ono to hurt.
Tho Man-eater Is n well-applied title.
For Dillon, pound for pound. Is tho greatest
fighter In tho world today: It would be
foolish to match his 169 pounds ngalnst
Wlllnrd's 269 pounds, for thd margin woilld
bo too wide to leave the battle anything but
n burlesque. Dillon can go out nnd get tho
200 pounds, but going out against n 270
pounder vho Is nlso clever Is another as
signment. An assignment oven beyfnd the
unusual limit of Indiana's most stalwart
son.
Dillon has tho stamina, tho wallop, tho
clovcrncss, tho aggressiveness nnd tho lovo
of combnt. Tho ono thing that keeps him
from being world's champion Is that extra
100 pounds thnt Wlllnrd carries. There
Isn't nny comparison between tho two oth
erwise. But Wlllard has enough clover
ness to mako that extra 100 count boyond
chance for a match. Dillon knocked out
Tow Cowler, but Tom Cowler nnd Jess
Wlllnrd nro not exactly of tho eamo pnt
tern. Not exactly.
Speaking of fights ngaln, how nbout this
American League race? About seven clubs
now nro beginning to ferment from being
packed In too closely In hot weather.
