ORAN'S MEN HAVE HAD A SUCCESSFUL TRIP, GAINING ON LEAGUE-LEADING DODGERS
M
ft. PHILLIES' GREAT
SURPRISES CRITICS, AND TEAM
NOW IS FAVORITE FOR FLAG
r ' .
fotexahder's Brilliant Pitching and Clever Team
Play of Champions Cause Rival Managers
to Change Opinion
u TTHferr tho Phillies t1epai;tal for the Went there was a fecltne among the fnns
YY ihat Moran'a champions were llkoly to ba eliminated from the pennant raco
before) they returned to this city. This belief was baaed upon tho fact that Alex
ander' the Great apparently had struck a slump and tho slugging Cravath was In
poor physical condition and had failed to strike his batting stride on tho homo
tand. But onco 'again Moron fooled the critics..
Instead of going to pieces In tho West, tho Thlls came back with a vengeance,
Winning 7 out of 12 games, and with Drooklyn skidding rapidly, It would not bo
surprising If the champions aren't in first placo before another weok has passed.
Once In first place so late in tho season, tho Phillies will bo a mighty; hard team
io dislodge.
It is reasonably certain that Moran's men will lilt better In tho closing days
tt the raco, with the majority of the games scheduled at home, and with better
hitting from ono or two mon who were breaking up games this time n year ago,
the PJhllllcs ore likely to bo very much stronger. Cravath has been given n, long
rest. Ills legs are in excellent condition again and there Is every reason to bellcvo
thai his long-dlstanco hitting will prove an rmmenso help to the Phils on tho long
homo stand which starts Tuesday.
Alexander has proved beyond doubt that ho is just as good, and perhaps a
trifle better, than he was at this time tast season. Instead of becoming discouraged
at tho threo successive defeats and tho erratic work of his teammates, Alexander
buckled down to his work and is now off on another vlnnlng streak.
Alexander Pitching Wonderful Bail
AFTEIt being beaten in Boston. Alexander pitched tho opening game of tho
Xi. Western trip In Bt. Louis and won a great pitchers' battle from Leo Meadows
by the scoro of 1 to 0. Tho Cardinals got only six hits off theNebraskan and only
one man reaohed third base. Alexander also opened tho series against tho Cubs,
and again gave the Phillies tho edge by defeating Lavender in another pitchers'
duel, the final acoro being 2 to 1. In this gamo the Cubs' only run was due to a
tumbled by Dave Bancroft.
The value oi working Alexander in tho oponing gamo of each series, as advo
cated in these columns when Moran departed from his old custom, was brought
cut stronger in tho first gamo of the series with both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
Tho Pirates wore shut out with four hits, while the Beds wero blanked with only
two. In his last game, which was against tho Beds, Alexander permitted only
threo mon to reach first boso, and only ono got beyond that station.
In four games In the West Alexander has allowed ono rUn in 36 innings,
that being duo to an error, and has been found for 15 hits, an nvorago of less than
four to a game. This wonderful exhibition of pitching proves conclusively that
tho king pitcher of tho National League Is stronger than over and is in grand
shape for n. driving finish.
Tho presence of "Chief Bender on tho pitching staff has enabled Moron to
keep Alexander out of tho "bull pen," which, In baseball parlanco, means tho warm-Infr-up
pit, and ho Is stronger than ever before at this time. "Whereas the star hurl
rs of both tho Boston and Brooklyn Btaffs aro In bad shapo from overwork, Alex
ander is Just as fresh as when tho season opened, and is ready to go to tho mound
every othor day for a few weeks whenever Moran Bays tho word.
Hughes and Pfeffcr Arc Slowing Down
UNLESS Dick Rudolph can round into shape, tho Phils' most dangerous con
tender will bo weakened almost 25 per cent. Budolph is absolutely necessary
to the Braves at this time, as Tom Hughes Is at last showing tho effect of tho
dally relief duty grind 'he has been subjected to, and it is said that ho has lost
a great deal of his "stuff within tho last two weeks. Hughes is not physically
fit to stand a hard grhid, and St&Illngs hoped to save him for tho stretch, but
Rudolph's failure to showjils 1914 and 1915, form made it necessary for the Boston
leader to overwork him.
Jeff Pfeffer, tho star of tho Brooklyn staff, also is showing signs of overwork,
although this giant needs only a fw days' rest to bring him back. Pfeffcr is
powerfully built and is a youngster and is likely to get back Into his winning
stride again. But Brooklyn needs moro than Pfeffcr to keep It at tho top, as
the other pitchers aro Inconsistent and tho Dodgers havo at last struck tho
expected batting slump.
It behooves Manager Moran to get Chalmers or Mayer working as they
should or to placo this pair of 1015 dependable on tho shelf for the rest of
the season, as too .many games have been lost already becauso. Moran insists on
sending them to tho mound In hopes that they might get away with a lucky
victory, which would givo them confidence. Lack of confidence has beon tho
great trouble with both Mayer ojid Chalmers. Just why either Bhould lack confi
dence is a mystery; but' such. Is the case, and tho ceason has reached a. point
Where it is poor judgment to take o chance on pitchers who aro in this condition.
Slack Made Some Progress on Disastrous Home Stand
THE Athletics close a disastrous homo stand today, having won only two games;
but it cannot bo said that the Umo has been wasted, as Mack has made soma
progress In his reconstruction plans. Ho has not done as well as he exported
to do, owing to the poor condition of several highly touted youngsters when they
reported, but during the home stand Mack has discovered two or three excellent
prospects and also has managed to weed out his squad.
Tho greatest disappointment has been Lowry; but this youngster is ill and
really should not have been sent Into the game. Tho highly touted Malno lad
has played well in the field and showed wonderful speed, but has looked very bad
at the bat. In the field Lawry handles the ball well, and has only ono fault. Ho
allows tho ball to play him. Instead of coming up for it. All of the Mack recruits
have the same bablt, and even Witt has not been able to break himself of it yet.
No doubt the fans have marveled at the number of infield hits mado by
opposing' tbama recently, when the ball was cleanly handled and the intlelder
apparently had made a fast play. It was duo entirely to the collegiate stylo of
waiting for the ball Instead of going in fast and playing the bound. Collpgo
diamonds are not out so deep as major league fields and tho youngsters hao
been used to taking balls back close to the grass and nailing the runner; but they
do not realizo yet that this cannot be dono in tho big show.
American League Western Teams Shy of "Mark
ATJU of tho American League teams excepting Washington have appeared hero
JTjl. In order, and while none havo experienced a great deal of trouble in defeating
the Mackmen, some looked much better than others. Tho impression was general
and the tip was being passed out about the circuit that the White Box and Tigers
had struck their stride and that the American League race was between these two
Western teams; but on what they showed in this city neither Is likely to figure
seriously.
As a team, tho Tankees looked better than any other which appeared hero on
the present home stand; but since Donovan's team left this city it hasbeen crippled
badly and, from present Indications, Is going to have a hard time staying in the
race until tho injured stars return to the game. If the injuries eliminate New
York, it looks very much as if Boston will breeze home an easy winner, unless
Washington has Improved 60 per cent, slncd Its last appearance here early
In June.
Even without Speaker, the Red Box have that wonderful balance which,
coupled with wonderful pitching, is going to be an important factor In the closing
days of the race. The Bed Sox no longer have the wonderful offense theyhad a
year ago, but Carrigan's team plays smooth, consistent and intelligent ball. It
la a steady and experienced team, which is likely to get stronger as the season
rieara the end. Washington evidently has improved a great deal. Judging by the
way Griffith's team has trounced the Western clubs; but too much depends on
ono man -Walter Johnson and he has been overworked to such an extent that
It lq extremely doubtful if be can pull the Senators through.
Morton's Injury Eliminates Cleveland
"LEVEL AND has not made much of an Impression on the local fans in the
KJ present series. The team appears to lack ginger and Its pitching staff has
"ben shot to pieces through the Injury to Guy Morton; Manager Fohl says he
sysla Morton to take his regular turn
watching him warm up, Me doubt very much If Morton Is going to pitch the
same brand of ball he showed early In the race. (
Morton may be able to go to the mound and pitch a few good games now
tUI then, but he Is pitching very much as Chalmers did when his arm was in
fcaA shape, and Guy has tost the snap to his curve ball. It might be wise for
To hi to make sura that his star Is right before he sends him to the mound. He
kas years before hlra, and might be ruined by pitching too soon.

GEORGE CHANEY
AND KILBANE TO
MEET FOR TITLE
Featherweight Bout Will Be
Staged at Cedar Point
to a Decision
DATE SET LABOR DAY
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Tho Kllbanc-Chanoy bout for the feather
weight championship of the world is on
again. After it had slumbered peacefully
for a couple of months, up stepped Matt
Hlnkle. the Intrepid referee and president
of the American Boxing Association, dug
down deep In his Jeans, brought forth J1B,
000 In regular money, exposed it to the
world, and loudly announced that the boys
could havo tho bankroll If they fought for
It.
There Is nothing phony about tho offer,
for Hlnkle has tho money, and Is ready
to put It up as soon as I ho boxer nlllx
their John Hancocks to tho articles of
agreement They nlso muH put up .i sub
stantial forfeit for appearance, for some
body has told Matt about the ilrit attempt
to get the boxers togMir last March, anil
when tho match fell through because Kll
bano refused to post his cash forfeit.
To a Decision
Hinklo has selected the lite for the big
fuss It wilt be held at Cedar Point. O.
tho famous summer resort outside of San
dusky, about CO miles from Cleveland A
regular Una of steamers runs there from
Detroit and Cleeland. and, with the rail
roads and lnterurbans on the Job, thou
sands of spectators can be carried to the
scene. Tho battle will be staged on Labor
Day, and will be 1G rounds to a dcoialon.
The $15,000 purse Is one of the lnrgen
ever offered for a featherweight title tilt,,
and if the boxers come to terms the, battle
will be well worth the money KUban i
ready to sign, but It Is thought that OiytnT
will hesitate a long time before ho eve
thinks of considering It.
Reject Dougherty's Offer
After the Baltimore scrap fell through,
Jimmy Dougherty burst In on the tccne
with a $10,000 offer for a lo-round bout In
Lelpcrvllle. Kllbane Immediately accepted
the terms, stating that he was eager, -willing
and anxious to meet Chaney any number
of rounds any placo In the world except
Baltimore Ho couldn't see tho Monumental
City with a telescope and gave some fine
reasons to back It up.
Chaney side-stepped, refused to box any
place except Baltimore, claimed the cham
pionship of the world, side-stepped the
match and It died a lingering death. From
his actions, tt easily was seen that Chaney
was not anxious to get Into the ring with
Johnny, and any old excuse was good
enough to call everything off.
Perhaps the Baltimore- slugger will listen
to Illnkle's $15,000 offer, but the chances
are that he will pass it up. Georgo has
gone back quite a little of late, and, ac
cording to some of the experts, would not
have a ghost of a chance with the feather
weight champion. Johnny would jab his
head oft in the early rounds and then win
as he pleased
However, we are likely (to have a hard
winter, and Chancy might need a little
money to buy some coal.

Discussing tho matter of confidence in
putting. Wilfred Rold, the f.no English pro
fessional, who Is a closo student of the
game, believes that Chick Evans at laBt
has cured his ono and only weakness.
"Eans." said Bold, "not only was putting
well at Mlnlwahda, but he was putting with
great confidence. Ho was also putting In
tho orthodox way, with old faults elimi
nated He told mo that he had been put
ting far better this spring than ever before,
and as he made good at this part of tho
game In tho opon I believe he will putt fully
as well In the amateur at Merlon. If he
does, I dont see how any one Is to beat
him. For this Improved putting and the
confidence ho now has on tho greens has
braced up his cntlro game. In my opinion,
Mtnll.ahda li certainly no moro than a
stroke easier than Baltusrol. Yet Evans
won with 10 strokes less than tho champion
ship called for last Juno."
Putting Features
W put the question to sevornl pros, as
to tho best putter in tho game. All ngrced
that Walter J Travis was tho finest put
ter golf hai known In tho last decade at
least, with Tracers and Oulmet close up.
But for ecry day work they all gave
tho etcran the call Among tho pros, they
agreed that Alex Smith and John J. Mc
Dermott, when playing woll a few yeairj
ago, were two of the best And thes-s two
hae won four opon championships.
"Gil XlcholN," remarked one of the lead
ing pros , "Is a trifle different. Good put
ting won't help" tho rest of his gamo But
I Gil Is playing well up to the greens, ho
Is ono of the finest putters In the land,
probably the best there Is, But if he Is
playing badly his putting promptly falls
away."
Johnny Dundee, a I-lttle Italy bantam, hones
to emulate the cloer New Vork Scotch-wop
of the same name In the near future. The
Philadelphia Dundee stands with his right hand

CLEVELAND, O., July 22. All season's
and two world's records went by the beards
In the frco-for-all pace on the final day of
the North Randall Grand Circuit races,
when Slnglo O created a sensation, after
Russell Roy had won tho opening heat In
Z:00',i by coming on and nosing out Mur
Phy'y pacer In the second heat, duplicating
trie tinio of tho first mile and then taking
tho raco by tramping tho third heat in
2:01U.
It was bx nil odds the greatest speed ex
hibition In the history of the Grnnd Cir
cuit, nnd in only tho spoclnl match raco be
tween Directum I and William was the tlmo
even approached.
The world's records were: The fastest
threo heats ever paced, tho three heats aver
aging 2:00 92-100. Tho fastest second and
third heats over paced by tho s.tme horse,
averaging 5:01. , '
The season's records: Fhateat first heat,

three-heat race, neraglng 2:00 02-100.
It was a wonderful race, und tho only
leason that tho two-mlnuto mark was not

Curt Gosnell did the same with Slnglo G
in the second mile, Otherwlso both miles

Athletics Off for Extended
Tour of Gircuil Today's
Double-Header Off
GROUNDS TOO WET
By CHANDLER D. RICHTER
Prior to starting on the second Wmtein
trip, Manager Mack cut adrift twt ef hl
youngsters, Mltterllng. the former tTrrlnus
outfloldor, who has bean playing centre,
nnd Oeotga TIateelbeohtr, the fonntr
Northeast llleh School pltoher. They wor
tircandltlenAlfv enteajiAA IfuiV lt t.l.
! f II of his other recruits with the team on
the trip, nut It vonld not be surprising If
one or two mora were released to minor
league teams as part payment for players
picked up by Harry Davis on tho recent
scouting trip.
Manager Mack says that ho expects his
team to play much better ball on tho road
nnd belloves tho fans will bo agreeably sur
prised at tho Improvement Bhown by his
joungstorB when they roturn to this city.
Mack says ho has not decided whether to
call In his youngsters upon whom he Is '
banking heavily this fall or waiting until
next pprlng
Mack Sntisued
Tho wliard manager Is satisfied that ho
has the material, either nt lrand, or In tho
minor leagues, to build another famous
team, and feels certain that the fans will
realize this before the closo of tho present
season. Mack's greatest need Is catching
material, and it Is believed that Harry
Davis picked up tho men wanted.
Young Carroll, tho reorult from Tufts
College has shown only fair form, and Is
not likely to be n membor of tho new team
unless ho shows Improved form on the.
Wostcrn trip. Meyor has shown enough to
warrant tho prediction that ho will be a
star next season, but as Mack intends to
uso Schang In tho outfield It will bo neces
sary to find two more receivers of major
lcaguo calibre.
Believes in Youngsters
Mack is, convinced that Lawry will bs
a star, and that Rowo nlso will develop
rapidly. Ho believes that ho needs only
two men, nsldo Trom pitchers, to liava
tho foundation for his new machine, nnd
Is confident that Harry Davis and Ira
Thomas will bring In tho men needed.
Tho double-header scheduled for today
was postponed on nccount of wet grounds,
the the most disastrous homo stand in
years wao brought to an end. Tho Mack
men won only two out of JO games from
the Western teams, and also dropped eight
out of nine games played with Boston and
Now York, giving tho tall-onders a record
og throe victories out of 25 games played
on the home field.
Desplto this miserable rocord Mack feels
,that ho has mado somo progress. Ho has
nan a cnanco to learn tho faults of his
youngsters and they are being corrected.
Ho fcayo that It will tako tlmo for tho
youngsters to become accustomed to play
ing tho gamo as he wants It played, but
that they will como along In flno stylo.
Mclnnis Loses King ,
Tho postponement of today's games gave
'"Stuffy" Mclnnis an opportunity to aid tho
pollco In searching for tho party who stole
a diamond ring, -valued at JI00 from his
locker In the clubhouse while the Maokmen
were losing to tho Indians yesterday
Molnnls left tho ring In his locker, toss
ing It upon tho shelf according to tho cus
tom of playors When hn returned to the
clubhouse after tho gamo. It was gone. Tho
theft has boon reported to the police.
