JULES VERNE WAS RIGHT
AFTER ALL; THE ATHLETICS DID
WIN A GAME FROM BROWNS
Noted Narrator of the Nautilus Confined Himself
to Tales of Submarines, Hence His Con
i nection With White Elephants
By ROBERT W.
TF JULES VEHNE had mado a predlc
JL Hon In 1871 or whenever he did his
predicting; that the Athletics would win
a. ball game on July 11, 1916, the noted
ruesser would have Been shouted down by
, the howling mob. Yet
hia "Crulso or the
Nautilus" camo true
a couple of days ngo
when the Doiltschtand
made the trip on and
under tho sea from
Germany to Baltlmoro
and that "Twenty
Thousand Leagues
U n d o r tho Sea"
turned out to bo tho
proper dope.
But Jules confined
himself to submarines
ntirl nthm- thlnfFa llltrt
QFGT that, and baseball
II, W. MAXWELL played no Important
part In his young life. Tho chances nro
that he couldn't oven keep a box scoro : but
If he knew the same and took his pen In
hand to dash oft a few chapters about tho
Athletics ho probably would have called his
maoterpleco "Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the League,"
But to return to whatever we are talking
about. When that submarine made Its 4000
mile trip to thcao United States, all of the
highbrows In tho land Rdmltted that tho
Impossible had been put across. It looked
llko It until yesterday nfternoon when tho
down-tcodden, much maligned, colleglato
ball club representing our city trimmed,
defeated, torpedoed, sunk, walloped and
beat another ball club representing St.
Looey, and tho performance of the Doutsch
tand had tho same social standing as nn
exlcltlng crulso in a canal boat through
the turbulent waters In Falrmount Park.
Anything can happen these days and thoso
two historic events provo It.
Don't think that this glorious victory was
ffreetod as an ordinary pleco of news. Ah,
not Likewise, far bo It from that. The
sudden realization that Mr. Mack's hired
men wero about to cop a game on the home
grounds after 11 straight defeats was al
most too much for tho hard-working scribes
In the press box. Several wero overcome
by tho terrific strain, nnd were brought to
under difficulties. Some were brought thrco
or four, but that has no part In our story.
Tako a look at tho press box whllo tho
battle was at Its height:
rilED ronn (dictating) Three lost
children wero found when Connlo Mack
paraded his recruits In front of tho grand
stand in tho fifth Inning
UARD-WOIUUNO 8CHIUK (looking up
from his labor) Well, gents. It looks as If
this Is the day. Perhaps we will AVIN a
ball game this nfternoon. Whadye thtnk
of It, Jim?
JIMMY GANTZ (quits reading the news
paper) Whassat? Oh, yes. Quitchcr kld
dln'. Four more Innings to play and tho
A's haven't started to make errors yet.
Talk about It with you on tho way home.
SCRIBE Wouldn't It be great If wo won,
MACKMEN MEET
THE BROWNS AGAIN
First Game Begins Before Fair
Crowd Hasselbacker on
the Hill
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
SHIBE PARK. July 12. Connie Mack sc
lectod Hasselbacher to do tho hurling for
tho Mackmen in the first gamo of today's
double-header with the St. Louis Browns.
The Athletics now feel that they aro going
nt a, great rate after having won one gamo
In succession. Opposed to Hasselbacher
was Eddie Plank.
The first game began at 1:45 o'clock be
fore a fairly good crowd. Whllo the fans
do feel that tho A's are going to roar
through the league and land at the top,
they have a sneaking idea that Connlo is
not going to allow them to witness minor
league baseball, all summer.
Mack now his Harry Davis in the wilds
of New York State looking over a number
of players to whom ho has been tipped off.
If there is any talent among these men,
Davis Is sure to locate and grab It.

NEW PHILADELPHIA GOLF CLUB
OF 50 COBB'S CREEK PLAYERS
WILL HOLD BOOSTER MEETING
Dy SANDY
THE Philadelphia Golf Club, a brand-new
body of players who havo been entirely
recruited from tho golfers at tho, public
links, will hold nn organization meeting to
morrow'nlght nt tho llltz-Carlton Hotel,
Officers will bo elected, plans discussed for
tho affiliation of tho new club with tho Golf
Association of Philadelphia, tournaments
lilanned nnd tho scopo of tho new club dis
cussed In general.
Tho Philadelphia Golf Club, whlcli Is tho
name selected, received Instant favor when
It Vas first proposed, and the charter mem
bership list has iicen filled up virtually
"over night." Tliete nre more than 50
loekerholdcrs nt tho Cobb's Crcclt course en
rolled, nnd It Is expected that many more
than this number will attend tho meeting
tomorrow night. Tho Work of organization
so fnr has been 'tone by Arthur M, Itcndell
nnd H. Wellington Wood, who first proposed
tho lden.
Won't Interfere
It was felt, that If tho players remained
purely Individual nt the public courso the
main benefits of n golf courso would be
lost, namely, good fellowship, and that the
Interests of tho courso could best be fur
theied It tho players acted as a group rather
than Individuals.
Tho now club does not Intend to Interfere

club Is successful In obtaining admission
Into the Golf Association of Philadelphia nit
the local tourneys will be opened up to the
Cobb's Creekers, nnd some very speedy golf
ers nre likely to be developed.
All the charter members of tho club are
goiters who play at the public course regu
larly, most' of them every day, and all have
Its Interests vitally at heart.
It Is felt that through tho medium of an

lems that nre always coming up for the
common Interest and that the new munic
ipal golf courso can never deterlorato and
will always thrive.

He Wishes Revenge
Sandy ifeNlbllck As a participant In tha
mtclt litven four coif scrlvenrs which you o
Inaccurately iltncrlbeit In last Thursday's mu
of the Kvenixo kBnosn., I wlh to draw your
attention to ono or tno orrora. Tou ond your
oercontldent partner chnllen&ed the pair of u
to a Rtmo of solf, nnd although we were aware
beforehand of our overwhelming superiority, we
accepted the challenge more In a aplrlt of humor
than In ono of nerlousneaa. It did not aursrlse
u In the leant when wo nnlahed up the flrt nlna
holes 11 points to the cood. and only tha fact
that wo were a trirta cnrelem on one or two
hnlea prevented us from being at leaat 22 notnU
ahead nf you.
. llefore wo started for tho second nine hole!,
lunch intervening-, my partner and I agreed that
we should let you down eaay, and If you had
carefully observed our play you, would havo
noted that we mode shots that wero utterly un
worthy of us, and as a consequence wo nnlshed
up onlv 14 points to the Bood. You give ms
credit for halving one hole, oblivious to holes
I won In speaklnu of the lfith hols you jrlve
me credit for a live, which 1s tha only creditable
statement sou make In tho wholo of your arti
cle. Tou wind up by Intimating that you had
a putt for n wins but you do not say whether
you mado It or not. All you say Is, ask Dad I If
you ask mo, you did not, not by a m'.'sl Aa a
golf writer you are really entertaining; but when i
It romes to tolling tho truth about your own
golf to tell tho truth, you aro a trtrlo Inac
curate. Wo are awaiting a challenge from you
nnd your partner with great eagerness, and
next time wo meet you wilt not bo let down so
easily. Yours sincerely.
