PHILLIES' SHOWING IN WEST
BELIES RUMORS THAT PENNANT
. CHANCES OP CHAMPS ARE NIL
Four Victories Out of Five Starts Big Boost for
Moran's Club Athletics Break
Losing Streak
rnHB record of the Phillies In the West li certain to he cncoutacilng to tho
J-National Leaguo followers. In tho nve games played four victories have been
turned In and only one defeat charged against them, and this setback &i a
complete rout, Demarco taking a Revere lacing at the hands of St. Louis. Since
this reverse the champions have come back and by winning the next two games
cast aside, temporarily at least, rumors that tho Phils were on tho toboggan.
XUxoy and Bender combined to take the final of tho series against St. Louis and
J'osterday Alexandor and Georgo Whltted proved to bo a winning combination.
Alexander had tho Cubs at his mercy and at one stage only did the Tinker
team threaten. This was In tho seventh Inning when the Cubs bunched two of
their three hits, but Alex tightened and In tho last two Innings permitted only
lx! men tJ face him. Ho had everything with him and when Alex Is right ho Is
unbeatable; yostcrday he was right and tho Phils were victorious.
, Whltted waa far from an Idle member of the team. Ho seemed to have Im
bibed some of the Ty Cobb orono In tho West and proceeded to do tho stunts
frequently credited to tho Georgian, and It was this display of daring on tho base
paths that was responsible for tho upsetting of tho Cubs and saved tho gamo
from going Into extra Innings. Unaided and by his personal cndcavois alone,
Whltted deposited the winning tally at the homo station In tho seventh Inning.
Ho singled, stole second, stolo third and In pilfering tho far corner diew a throw
from Catcher Fischer which van poorly handled by Zimmerman, and this mlsplay
permitted him to mako tho plate In safety.
And yot they say tho Phils play only tho slam-bang gnmo. The team has
been playing a careful gamo nnd, In contrnst to their play earlier In the srnson,
have resorted to Insldo tactics, and this change In tho Moran stiategy has resulted
In mpro victories. Yesterday's triumph was Alexander's fifteenth win of tho
aeason.
Bush Halts Athletics' Losing Streak
IT WAS not long ago that tho winning of a ball gamo by tho Athletics was
nothing out of tho ordinary. On tho contrary, It was considered quite a feat
to administer a setback to tho Whlto Elephants. But times liavo changed nnd
now It Is a news Item when tho Mackmcn chalk up a victory. Previous to yes
terday's double-header the Athletics had engaged in 11 wlnless contests. Tho llrst
gnmo of the twin bill was a complcto rout and llttlo encouragement for a. victory
In tho second skirmish. But St. Louis had Joo Bush to reckon with, and" tho
veteran of tho Mack staff was In great form.
Thirteen was no Jinx for tho Athletics. When tho second gamo started it
Blmply was a question whether It would bo tho thirteenth straight defeat or tho
first win; they didn't loso and to Joe Bush they owe everything. Tho Browns mo
credited with flvo hits, though only one clean single was registered, this by Jimmy
Austin. The other four were hits because King and Pick wero slow in fielding
rollers.
Tho Athletics have no opposition for the cellar berth, but ere tho season is
much older the present contenders are likely to find tho going hard. This
triumph will do much toward bringing back somo of tho lost conlldcnce, nnd
once they got the winning habit aro llablo to do much damage. Bush has lost
many hard games this season. This also applies to Myers and Nabors.
If the team can show anything In tho way of baseball In tho future, tho
Athletics may cease to bo tho Jokes ot tho major leagues. Connlo has three
good pitchers and a couplo of promising youngsters. If tho team accords these
pitchers the support thoy deserve, tho Mackmen may turn In a few moro wins
beforo next October.
Willis Davis Is Playing It Safe
WILLIS E. TAVIS, tho new clay court t.nls champion of tho United States,
has given up plqylng on hard surfaced courts until after the national cham
pionships at Forest Hills, L. I., in August. Tho Red and Blue comet believes,
and very properly, that further work on clay courts would injure his gamo on
turf to such an extent that he would bo unable to make the showing he expects
to mako In tho national affair.
Slnco last season Davis has Improved his gamo to such a marked degree
that It is likely he will go into tho West Side tournament almost as great a
favorite as William M. Johnston, the present tltloholder.
In order to get In shape for that tournament, Davis must do a lot of work
on grass. Tho differences between turf and clay for tennis play aro so great
that it Is impossible to Jump from one to the other and keep up a fast pace.
Tho reason for this is that clay is much faster than grass. Tho turf court
tends to slow the ball after It strikes tho ground and also to give It a higher
bound, thus enabling tho player to uso moro effectively his ground strokes.
The great speed of hard couits virtually puts the back court gamo player
out of tho running against n good net man. Although Davis takes the net Just
as often on grass as he does on clay, ho must accustom himself to tho ground
strokes, which, outside of the service, aro sure to come many times in a set,
even to the most dashing net players.
Schulte Still Good; Archer Going Back
TTIRANK SCHULTE and Jimmy Archer, two of Joo Tinker's Cubs, who aro en
J? deavorlng to overthrow tho" Phillies in the present series in Chicago, uro
the only two veterans of Frank Chance's great machine left to the West Slderc
of the Windy City.
Schulte this season Is putting up a marvelously good gamo for n man as
old In baseball as he Is. Schulta Is hitting tho ball with tho samo precision,
although apparently as carelessly as he used to swing when ho led the National
League in homo runs. Schulte also appears to' be Just as fast In covering ground
In tho outfield as ever and to run tho bases as well as he ever could.
Ardier, on the other hand. Is slipping. His wonderful arm is no longer able
to stand the strain of pegging to second base with speed and accuracy. Archer's
arm formerly was his greatest asset, but he no longer has this. For this reason
he Is doing less and less of the backstop work for tho Cubs. Then, too. Archer
seems to be losing his eye rapidly. Ho no longer hits In the pinches as formerly and
even on days when his arm is working well his eye goes back on him and his
throws aro not of that perfect brand which made him once the envy of every
catcher in the world.
. Foster Fosters Intersectional Football
JQHN B. FOSTER, secretary of tho Now York Giants, is not altogether new to
'the handling of football games. When the Army and Navy last played at the
Polo Grounds Foster had full charge of the business end of the game. Needless
to say hla knowledge ot baseball crowds was sufficient for the perfect handling of
the vast throng that saw the Middles and Cadets scrap for the championship of
the prejiarednesa department of tho U. S. A.
Now Foster Is branching out in football. Ho has written letters to a number
of Eastern and "Western collegians with tho Idea of staging Intersectional football
games either during or after the regular season. The University of Washington
has been Invited by Foster to negotiate with teams In tho East for a contest to be
staged at the Polo Grounds.
Several big gridiron battles have been waged In the famous baseball stadium,
notably the Army-Navy and Dartmouth-Carlisle games. It la Foster's Idea to give
New York football fana,a game which will attract New York's transient popula
tion, which the Easternygames did not do. He believes that If the University of
Washington would play Dartmouth the Polo Grounds would be packed.
Foster's Idea Is a good one and should be supported by the colleges of this sec
tion. Such games not only increase the popularity of football, but give a more
adequate basis on which to' Judge of the relative merits of teams which now only
can be compared on paper, a method wholly Impractical, as every football expert
knows. t
Charley Hoffner and Jimmy Barnes, Philadelphia's representatives In the
open Metropolitan golf tournament, are due to make a good showing at Garden
City. Hpffner, who ia one of the youngest professionals In the game, has made
a big hit with local players and his matches will be followed closely here.
Garry Herrmann stated the other day In Baltimore that Jt would be a good
thing for baseball to transfer the Washington franchise to the Maryland metro
polis. It must be remembered, however, that Garry was attending a convention,
The rumor that Johnny Evera was slated to be sold to the Yankees died a
sudden, painless death. Donovan probably decided that Johnny, In hla present
state of suspension, was just as valuable to him now, without the transfer,
Red Deyhle, who has been working out in the mornings at Shibe Park, Is
making a fir hit with Connie's advisers and the manager himself. If he makes
good, Joe Slavln will be In line for a season pass.

Chicago and Catchers
In the Bama way Chicago leads tho land
hcape In great catchers. The Cubs first

MUCH. INTEREST IN SCRAP!
BALTIMOnn, July 12. Two huge fcombs
wero thrown Into tho camp of the Elks'
pugilistic promoters hero last night. The
first wns hurled by tho visiting Elks, who 1
did not take kindly to the transfer of an j
outuoor snow to an muoor tneatrc.
They showed their resentment by staying!
away. At alio o'clock thero were scarcely
fight fans enough In tho Orphcum Thcntre
to past tho preliminaries. At 10 o'clock.
howevAr, tho show was finally staged on-
percentago basK
Tho second bomb was thrown by tho
police "commissioners, nccordlng to Ben
Pressler, who li tho chief promoter. On
July 7 they held a. meeting and agreed, In
view of tho Importance of tho Dillon
Lovlnsky championship bout, that an out
sldo referee would bo permitted.
They voted on a number of names, nnd
linany ngreed on B 1' ltocan. of Phlladol,
phln, Last night, according to Pressler, tho
commissioners rescinded their act and would
not permit a Philadelphia or n Now York
referee. They said that Lcvlnsky, who
is none otner tnan Barney Williams, was a
i-niinucipninn, out now llvet in Now York.
A Western man wilt likely be chosen If tha
commission does not ngnln chnngo Its mind.
There Is great Interest In tho bout here,
In fnct, nil ovpr tho country, aa Its result
will likely mean a probable opponent for
Wlllard nominated by American sportsmen.
Tho Elk will likely crowd Orlolo Parle on
Thursday. On paper It looks llko a hum
mer. Lcvlnsky Is hero In splendid condition
and confident of victory. Tho promoters of
tho show wish they wero as confident of
being winners as li Lcvlnsky.
