THEM WAS THE GOOD OLD DAYS
WHEN THE A'S FEARED NO ONE;
SCORE CARD RECALLS THE PAST
frond Recollections of Season of 1914 Float Over
Shibe Park When Old Line-up Lands in
Press Box by Mistake
By ROBERT
THE3 Athletics were Joyously bumping
the bumps In their old-tlma form and
banding the Cleveland Baseball Club a bunch
f perfectly Rood points which -will come
In handy later in
the season when
a team Is select
ed to represent
the American
League In the
world's series
The faithful fans
In the grandstand
and bleachers
mostly bleachers
were on their
toes, ready to
cheer every time
tho homo team
pulled something
good, but nobody
strained his voice.
In all, It was
one of tho usual
iSiQr:Br"
W. MAXWEMj
days at 8hlbs Park, where no attempt Is
made to deceive you In regard to the win
ner of the game. Everybody knew who
would cop the combat, but It was real
exciting In trying to guess how large the
score would be.
Operator Is Dazed
The telegraph operator sitting at our
left seemed dased. In his eyes was a far
away took, and occasionally he would gaie
upon the open scorecard lying In front
of him. The game meant nothing In his
young life at that moment as his glance
was riveted on the printed sheet. Suddenly
he uroused himself, heaved a long sigh,
turned to us and said:
"Them waa tho good old days, nil right,
all right. They didn't never pull nothln'
like that In th' old days. Gee, I wish them
days wasjmck again!"
"What's the matter?" we asked anxious
ly. "Is It the heat or are the dally defeats
of the A's too much"
"Naw, nothln' like that," ho Interrupted.
'I gotta good reason, I have. Hero! Take
a look at this scorecard 1"
Stranger Is Discovered
We looked and discovered a stranger In
our midst. It was a regular scorecard with
the Cleveland and Athletics' llno-up, but
It was not for 1916. In some manner It
got mixed up with tho new ones, and
after we looked It over we, too, heaved a
long sigh and Joined the chorus:
"Them WAS the good old days."
It was a rello of 1914, and how the old
memory stuff came backl Tho Cleveland
line-up, Awlth Graney, Chapman, Joe Jack
son, Johnston, Larry Lajole, Olson, Carlsch,
Mitchell and others, seemed out of place ;
but It had nothing on the battle front pre
sented by the A's. There were Murphy,
Oldrlng, Collins, Baker, Mclnnls, Strunk,
Barry, Schang and Job Bush. Is It any
wonder that the telegrapher forgot his sur
roundings as he gazed back Into tho past?
In nn effort to recall those olden days
we dug out our old scorehooks and. Just
for curiosity's sake, looked up the series
With Cleveland In 1914, They played here
HEAVY COURSE GREETS

All-Night Rain Makes Links
Slow Add Fifth Sixteen
to Program
SHAWNEE-ON'-THE-DELAWARE, Pa..
July 21. Rain all night looked like spoil
ing the sport In the first and second rounds
of match play In the Invitation Shawnee
Country Club here ttoday. However, the
sun broke through the clouds some con
siderable time before play started, and, al
though the course was rendered somewhat
low. the conditions were otherwise Ideal,
On account of the large number of en
tries it was decided to add a fifth 18. This
let In Director of Public Safety W. H. Wil

and Indulged In a quiet and friendly little
foursome,
. The draw Insured some fine matches this
morning. At the top of the upper bracket

H. L. Ridge, and although Corkran has
the greater reputation, Ridge always Is

Norman II. Maxwell, of Aronlmlnk, and
R. S. Worthlngton, who has two legs on the
Buckwood trophy, were followed by quite
a big gallery, while the match at the bot
tom of the lower bracket between S. L.

just two years ago, starting with a double-
neaaer on July 22 and ending on the J4th.
And the Mackmen took all four games!
Strange things can happen In two years.
Delving Into the Past
It took 11 Innings to win the first battle
after Joe Bush and Mitchell had fought It
out on the pttcherls mound. Mitchell had
all kinds of stuff that day, fanning 13 bat
ters, but virtually losing hla own game on a
wild pitch. In tho first eight Innings he
fanned everybody on the club with the ex
ception of Stuffy Mclnnls, getting two In the
first and sltth, and In tho second he whiffed
Barry, Schang and Bush In order.
Cleveland scored In tho fifth on John
ston's double and Oldrlng's terrible muff of
Oraney'a fly. There was no further scoring
until the ninth, when Eddie Collins singled,
stole second and wont to third on Baker's
out. Then Mltchelt came through with his
wild heavo and Eddie came home with the
tying run. In tho eleventh chapter Murphy
opened with a single, but was forced by Old
ring, Baker's single was Just out of Lajole's
reach and Rube went to third. Eddie Col
lins struck out, but Stuffy Mclnnls busted
a single past third, scoring Oldrlng, and
the game was over.
Rube Bresslcr started tho second game
against Steen and got off to a very bad
start. Up to tho fifth Inning the Naps
led, 4 to 2, but the old machlno Btarted
working, and a double by Baker, singles
by Stuffy, Schang, Oldrlng and Strunk,
aided by a couple of errors, gave tho home
team five runs and they never were headed.
The final score was 7 to 6.
Herb Pcnnoclc Winn
It was easy tho next day, and Herb Pen
nock, then "one of Connie's promising re
cruits," nutpltched Coltomoro and won, 3
to 0. Eddie Collins' bat was responsible
for the victory, as his double and single
drove In two runs.
The last game of the series resembled
last Wednesday's battle, only with reverse
English. A youngBter named Bowman
floated his roundhouse curve to our Ath
lotlcs and they knocked It all ocr the lot.
All they did was to get 13 hits for 20 bases,
Frank Baker leading tho bombardment with
two threo-liaggers. Bender started the
game for Connie, but was relieved In tho
third by Wyckoff, who ylolded nine hits
and two runs. The final score was 9 to 2,
which was tho ninth straight victory, and
tho Athletics left on their Western trip,
leading the leaguo by a comfortable mar
gin. Swell Fielding Plays
There were some swell fielding plays In
that last game. Barry made a great one
handed stop of Lajole's sizzling single In
the third and saved a run. Graney robbed
Baker of a sure homor In the second when
he leaped Into the air and grabbed -the ball
Just as It was about to sail Into the bleach
ers. In the fourth, Olson ran In and caught
a bunted fly with his bare hand, and In tho
same Inning Kirk dived for Strunk's fly
and held It after he rolled over In the grass.
Yes, them WAS tho good old days!

DIRECTOR WILSON
MAKES RAID ON
SHAWNEE LINKS
Quaker City Official Has
Clean-up of Strokes, Tak
ing 125 for 18 Holes
MAYOR EXPECTED TODAY
By SANDY McNIBLICK
SHAWNEE COUNTRY CLUB, Shawnee-on-the-Delnware,
Pn July 21. Holes
weren't big enough and most of the shots
wero too hnrd. This was the only com
plaint of the great throng of golfers here
today. Match play went forward with
much vigor In the annual Invitation tourna
ment for tho Buckwood trophy.
Tho courso never has been In belter
shape. Burled in the depths of the Blue
Ridge Mountains along tho darkling waters
of tho Delaware, golfers struggled with the
beautiful summer resort courso far removed
from tho mechanical whim of humanity nnd
only tho "cheep-cheep" of tho eagles or the
soft "Juss" of vultures overhead to disturb
tho equanimity of their play.
There was little excuse for the high
scores that prevailed In tho qualifying
round. There wero many refugees from the
City of Brothorly Lovo at the popular sum
mer resort. To escape the morbid Inquiries
of those Interested, Mayor Jjmtth, vice
ouster, and Director W. II Wilson, raids-man-ln-chlcf,
have picked the Shawneo
courBO on which to vent their enthusiasm
as golf recruits. Tho Mayor was expected
to orrlved today,
Wilson Raids Course
Director Wilson Is here and made n. ter
rible raid on the mountain course. Never
before In Its history has such a noblo clean
up of strokes been made by a single man.
Tho popular city olUclat made a great 12S
for the 18 holes. If he hadn't had trouble
with his wood. Irons and putter, the Di
rector would have finished In tho first 16.
As It was, Wilson's score was considered
remarkable, Inasmuch as the nrst time he
ever had a golf stick In his hand was two
months ago. He was down to his partner,
C. J. Corr, who has been In tho game for
30 years, according to Wilson. The latter
also Is responsible for tho statement that
runs were made to suit the situation, and
a description of tho moves would tend to
bear this out.
A multitude of stymies "In medal piny"
had to bo negotiated, In which, under bitter
circumstances, Director Wilson generally
Just knocked his opponent's ball Into a sand
pit, from which the latter played It. Tho
Director gained 4 strokes on his playing
mate at the last hole, when ho got a 7 come
ii. ine cards of tho two experts follow;
W. H. Wilson
7 6 7 5 765
6 7 6 3 958
7 5 6 7 7601:5
7 7 6 7 1166124
Director Pays Caddy
Corr claimed that ho was handing his
caddy a dollar as thanks for tho day's work
when Wilson snatched the dollar and paid
tho caddy himself. Tho boy turned traitor.
He told Corr he had a 66 Instead of a 56,
which he previously had said. "The reverse
on that dollar cost me 10 strokes," said
Corr. "After this I will see my dollars Into
tho proper hands."
Danny Hutchinson brnced his study foot
ball legs at the first teo and cast a promise
to tho blue hills nil around that he would
play tho round of his career and take home
tho medal But the fates Intervened and
ho decided to go home empty-handed.
I. P. MacAvoy, Halo, started out on what
ho thought was his most perfect day. He
had a putt for n 4, which he missed : a
putt for a 4, aitto; a putt for a 4, ditto, and
a putt for a 4, ditto; all of which would have
been fine But after he had gone out In 4D
he came home a few strokes better than 60,
and had trouble to making any of the six
teens. He had a good alibi, however, for
he had been traveling since 4 n, m to
reach tho course, and started oft only a
half hour after he had alighted, shaky,
from a motor.
Many of tho players sought consolation In
the croquet set In the rear of the links.
There were somo really good scores set up
here, and not a few of the golfers expressed
the resolution to stick to croquet In the
future.
Corkran Dissatisfied
J. W. Cobb, Merlon, finished In the two
hottest figures of all the golfers. He had
a 2 on tho par 4 home hole. This was the
only one registered on the difficult hole.
The winner of the medal, D. Clarke Cqrk
ran, brother of It. Warren Cockran, who
carried off the trophy last year, was en
tirely disgusted with his "miserable" 78.
"I couldn't drive and I couldn't putt,"
he said, and made as If to tear up his card
at the finish.
"You must have hit all your brassle shots
there," ventured one of the gallery to the
youthful Marylander. The gallery vied In
snickering and explaining from amaze
ment. J. II. Canan, a Penney lvanlan, led the
field for tho greater part of the day. He
beat Corkran In match play, 1 up. He
camo home In 35, a phenomenal score after
a 45 for the first nine holes. He was 4
down going out but easily passed the medal
victor coming home. A largo gathering
of the summer folks were here to see the
play and many of the matches today were
attended by small wads of rooters.
There are players here from all sections
and rivalry Is Intense for the beautiful
Buckwood trophy.

MATTY STARTS AS
REDS' LEADER WITH
PHILS OPPONENTS
"Big Six" Takes Reins of
Cincinnati Team Today
at Home
HEMPSTEAD PAYS TRIBUTE
CINCINNATI, July 21. Christy Mathew
eon assumed tho manaBcmont of tho Iteda
today with the Phils opposing. After
18 years Matty returns to tho team which
passed him up as youthful pitcher of no
particular promise. Ho comes back after
having; written one of the cleanest and
brightest chapters In the annals of base
ball
Tho deal by which Matty come, back
to Clnclnantl Is ono of the most sensational
trnde.1 In tho history of organized base
ball. By the terms of the dicker Iluck
Herzog, ono of the greatest of tho Infleldera
and mutineer of the Iteds, goes to the Giants,
taking with him Wade Klltefer. Iloush and
MoKechnle are released to the Heda by tho
Giants. This will make tho third time that
Herrog has worn tho uniform of tho New
York Nationals.
Shock to Constituents
Tha trading of Matty came as a shock
to the followers of tho Qlanta, and their
name Is legion. They aro to bo found all
the way from Alaska to the Horn. An
earthquako swallowing tho Brush Stadium
might have been considered less atartllng.
But for tho last two years Matty has
been on the decline nn a pttchor. Ho ad
mitted this himself, although his nrdent fol
lowers refused to bollovo that tho wing of
Mnthewson could over fall or that his fade
away could over lose Ito magic Kven John
McQraw, whoso business Is to know when
his older players aro on tho decline and to
replace thorn with now ones, firmly as
serted that Matty's old "soupbono would be
In Bhapo by the tlmo tho warm weather
came." Tho Giants' pitching start for two
years has been built around Matty, but tho
Big Six proved an undependablo founda
tion. Trlbuto From Hempstead
Harry II. Hempstead, president of the
Now York Olants, paid a high trlbuto to
Christy Mathewson In making tho follow
ing ntatcment:
"I wish to announce tho release of Christy
Mathewson to the Cincinnati Baseball Club.
My good wishes for his succoss are mingled
with many regrets that ho will leave the
New York Baseball Club. For so many
years tho New York public have enjoyed the
games In which he has participated and
havo given him their unqualified support,
good will and respect."

M'GRAW GOT BEST OP BIG
TRADE AND ALSO RELIEVED
HIS OWNERS OF OBLIGATION
Giants Strengthened by Getting Herzog, "While
Club Will Not Have to Carry Matty for Several
Years at a Large Salary
By CHANDLER D. RICHTER
Orru again John McQraw, aided by the
owners of ths Olants, put one over on
the seven other clubs of the National
Leaguo, with Cincinnati the greatest loser.
It Is true that the Beds got a man to pilot
the tenm who may provo the very manager
for whom tho Redland fans have waited
all these years, but that does not discount
tho master stroke of McOraw and the New
York owners.
Any way ono looks at the trade which
sends Mathewson, Iloush and McKechnle to
the Beds In exchange for Buck Herzog and
Wado Klllefcr, It Is apparent that New York
got nil tho best of It. The Olants are ths
gainers even If both Herxog nnd Klllefer
should fall to make good This sounds
rather odd. but It Is true, nevertheless.
Christy Mnthewson pitched for the Olants
since 1001, nnd during that time performed
so many wonderful feats and was of such
service to tho club that tho fans of New
York Idolize him. It had been established
beyond the shadow of doubt that Matty's
pitching days wero over when McOraw
traded him Therefore, he was of no use
to New York: but that did not relense the
owners from tha debt they owed Matty.
Was Well Paid
The famous hurler was well paid for the
wonderful work he performed for the.
Olants, but there Is enough sentiment In
the
tans to have Insisted that the New
York owners retain Matty on thb payroll
for several seasons, not at ft small salary,
hut for Just about the samo amount he Is
receiving now.
McOraw and Hempstead know that Matty
wan through ns a pitcher soon after the
senson oponcd, but they also knew that It
would bo imposslhio to rolease him, even
If they bo desired. Comlskey. owner of
the White Sot, Is carrying Ed Walsh on
tho payroll becauso of the service he gavo
the club years nco. Tho fans of Chleasn
aemanaea tnis, nna
loyalty compelled it.
Comlskey's senso of
Murphy's Troublo
Comlskey also realized that It was the
unconditional release of Mordecal Brown
from tho Cubs and tho shabby way this
wonderful hurler wnB treated that started
all the troublo for Charley Murphy In Chi
cago, Murphy eventually was driven from
the gamo (at least as an active figure),
and such would have been tho fate of
Hempstead If he tried to get rid of Mathow
son within the next three or four years.
Dut Instead of doing that the New York
owners killed two birds with ono stone.
They relieved themselves of a contract
which would soon be a burden and also got
a great ball player. Tho money paid Her
zog on his three-year contract already haB
been saved by transferring Matty to the
Iteds.
Herzog Is to receive $10,000 a year for
threo years, and this seems like an enor
mous salary. It is really an enormous
salary, considering that the baseball war
Is ovor; but when ona looks nt It from the
same point of ylew that Hempstead has It
really Is dirt cheap, and hero Is the rea
son: A Great Player
In return for the $10,000 a year the New
York club receives tha services of a great
player, but ono who can be disposed of
without fear of criticism If he falls to
make good. If the deal had not been made
tho Now York club would have been obliged
to pay tho same amount to Mathewson,
who could bo of little use to the team ex
cepting as a coach.
The acquisition of Herzog will bolster up
ono of tho weak spots of McGraw's team
and will give the Olants the best Infield in
the National League, but If tho object of the
ueai waa to put ino uiants uacK in Uio race
we believe It will fall. New York makes
enough runs to win under ordinary con
ditions, but cannot get far without better
pitching.
It realy Is odd that a great hurler suoh
as Toney or Schneider was not Included In
the deal. Then It would bo almost a cer
tainty that the Phillies would not repeat.

?he B.V.D. COMPANY, Yerk,
League Is pulling against this city, because
It Is considered "a 26-centbaII town."
As for tha rest of tha deal, McOraw also
got all tho best of It. He did not get a
ball player who will be of much usa to him
when he landed Wade Klllefer, but h got
rid of two "Ironclad" contracts carried by
players he did not want.
Itoush la carrying a. contract which ha
two mora years to run, and It Is said on
excellent authority that It calls for 17600 a
year. McOraw has little use for Ttoush, as
he failed to land a regular position, and ha
rightfully figures that $7600 a year Is too
much money for a substitute. McKechnU is
drawing close to J6000 a year, and there Is
little use for him, either.
Thus McOraw has gotten tha players hs
needs In Herzog and Klllefer for about
$13,600 a year, tho latter not getting mora
than $3600 per annum, while he has rid the
club of three contracts which amount to
about 126,000 per year. This Is figuring
Mathewson's salary at close to $15,000
n year.
If Matty was going to one or two other
teams needing a manager, where the own
ers are well known for tholr generosity In
spending money for players, and for their
policy of allowing the manager a, free rain,
he surely would make good, but In Cin
cinnati It is different,
Matty Is tackling ons ot th hardest
managerial Jobs ever wished upon any one.
It was a. tough proposition when Herzog
took It up, and Is doubly hard now. The
famous hurler Is going to a club which Is
In such ponr financial condition that It has
dona without scouts for two years trl order
to cut down expenses, despite tha fact that
tha team needed strengthening.
Whllo Mathewson Is taking a team which
In In a badly disorganized condition, ha has
tho foundation for ono ot the most power
ful teams In tho league. If Rousch should
llva up to tho record he made In the Fed
eral League Matty needs only two Infleldera
to glvo him ono of tho best-balanced teams
In the National League.
Tho Iteds hava a wonderful pitching staff
If It Is handled properly and Matty can get
work out of two hurlers who did not care
to work for Herzog. Given a free rein
nnd a little money to BDend for nlaver.
.Matty has a great chance to establish htm-
soir in a position wnere ha may bo a lead
ing figure for 16 more years. But if the
same policy that has controlled the team
for .16 years is pursued, tho finish of
Matty's major leaguo career probably will
not be quite so brilliant.
