PAT MORAN TAKES LONG CHANCE IN SENDING OESCHGER IN FOR REGULAR WOR
fc
jgjggr 7
JOE OESCHGER WILL TAKE HIS
REGULAR TURN ON MOUND
FOR PHILLIES 'IN FUTURE
Pennant May Dfepend on Wtfk Done by Youngster
oil Mound During the Remainder of
Present Season
DIWSATI8FIED because uomft of the veteran pitchers on his staff have foiled
to Bhow the form expected, Manager Moran, of the Phillies, has decided to
Uk a king chance and assign young Joe Oeschger to a regular turn on the
mound. Moran's decision comes as a great surprise, as It was generally bo-tlsv-S
that the California youngster was still too Inexperienced to bo trusted
wllh a regular assignment with the race bo close.
Moran undoubtedly Is making a wise move, as It has been definitely estab.
Ilshed that Q cor go Chalmers and Ersklne Mayer are not dependable, and ho must
find at hurler who can replace them if the team is to be In the pennant raco until
th-a finish, Moran figures that he might Just as well take a chance on Oeschger as
0 allow Chalmers and Mayer to lose game after game.
i Oeschger may not bo able to win, but the work will do him a lot of good and
cause a speedier development than bench work and rellof pitching, which has
bn Jhe extent of the Cailfornlan's work to date. It is barely possible that
Oeschger might prove the very man Moran needs to round out his staff and is
aurely worth the chance.
Oeschger has everything a pitcher needs to make good excoptlng experience,
ad If ho haa enough nerve and fighting spirit this lack of exporlenco may, not
yrove as much of a handicap as wo are led to boltevo. If Oeschger gets off to a
rood start he Is likely to get tho confidence hehas lacked to date.
Oeschger Did Splendid Work
MANAGERS, players and scribes who arn considered excellent Judges of young
players declare that Qeschger was easily the best pltchor In tho Interna
tional Leaguo last season, and predict that ho will be a wonder If ho gets a. good
etart. Aa Allan Russell and several other International Lcaguo hurlers who
werfc not considered as good as Oeschger are pitching splendid ball In tho major
leagues this season, there is no reason why Oeschger should not hold up his end
unless he has been overrated.
On what ho has shown as a relief pitcher wo should say that Oeschger will
Jprovo a pleasant surprlao even to his teammates after ho has started a few
amcs. Ho has terrtflo speed, rew pitcners in eitner league Deing any rosier, ana
& pretty good curve ball. He has a tendency to start his curvo ball from moro
of a side-arm swing than he uses when pitching his fast ball, but this is a fault
'Which should bo speedily corrected.
If Oeschger comes through the Phillies will be well equipped with pitchers,
providing Alexander, Rlxey, Demares and Bender continue- to pitch as well as
they have to date. It Is a long chance that Moran Is taking and ono that few
rnanagers wpuld take. It is an unusual thtnf for a major league manager to
place so much upon the shoulders of a youngster at this stago of the raco, and
Ocschger's work will bo watched with Interest by fans throughout the country.
i. Recruit pitchers often havo been responsible for tho winning of a pennant,
but In almost every Instance they havo earned a regular pitching assignment at
the start of tho ocasdh, and have not been called upon after being on the bench
for moro than half the season.
Phillies Believe Pirates Strongest Western Team
rpHB Phllly players bellevo that tho Pirates are tho strongest "Western team in
X the National League at. the present time, and tho players of other Eastern
teams agree with them. Jake Daubert, captain of tho Dodgers, stopped, off In this
city to get a train for his up-State home, and he declared that the Pirates are
likely to cause the leaders a great deal of trouble If they can strengthen two
positions.
Pittsburgh Is about ten games back of the Dodgers, which virtually elimi
nates Callahan's team from the running; but Daubert says that they will beat
tho leaders often enough to upset the dope. Wonderful pitching has been Pitts
burgh's greatest asset, and with "Wagner, Carey and Farmer hitting well in the
pinches, Is a hard team to beat. Any time the Pirates get two or thrco runs
they will come pretty close to winning If tho fielding Is up to tho mark.
In Mamaux, Callahan has ono of tho very best pitchers In tho country, while
four youngsters havo been doing lamost as well as the star of the staff. Kant
lehner. Miller, Jacobs and Cooper do not get as much publicity as somo other
hurlers, but they are getting results, and day after day they baffle opposing teams,
losing onty becauso the Pirates are not making tho average number of runs.
"" Rule on Wild Throws Should Bo. Made Clear
rPHE Braves intend to' protest yesterday's victory of the Cubs, claiming that
JL Umpire cEaijon had no right to permit Zimmerman to scoro from first base when
Fitzpatrlclt's -wild throw went into the Boston dug-out. Judging by the reports
sent from Boston, Umpire Eason erred, and President Tener should not only
uphold the protest, but steps should also be taken to mako this ruling clear.
The rules allow the runner two bases on a wild throw Into the stand or dug
out, the general Interpretation being that he is entitled to one base besides tho
base he is running for. Eason decided yesterday that Zimmerman had rounded
e-cond and was starting for third when the throw was. made. As he was on his
way to third and was-entltled, according to Eason's view, to one extra base, the
V umpire permitted tho winning run to tally.
A ruling of this sort puts too much upon the umpire's Judgment and should
be changed. Last winter we asked President Tener about this very play which
came up yesterday and he said that the runner should be stopped at third because
h was on first and really going to second when the play was started. This seems
like tho only logical ruling, but the umpires interpret it differently, and it might
bo wise of the Fules Committee of the major leagues to make the point clear and
lAve a standing rule which cannot bo misunderstood.
Tho unusual size of Rolllo Zelder's nose was the cause of .another fight on
the diamond. A Yesterday Johnny Evers reminded Zelder of the size of his noso
and the Cub Inflelder started a mix-up which resulted In both men being escorted
off tho field. In recent years Zelder has been' in many fights on the field because
opposing playew Josh him about his large nose, a point upon which the Cub
Inflelder is qulto sensitive.
The eastern teams of the American League got off to a poor start in the west
yesterday, every one losing. In the East vs. "West clash, the eastern teams of
the American. League completely outplayed the westerners, much to tho surprise
of the fans, hut apparently the West intends to redeem itself.,
Jimmy CalUhah jays that Al Mamaux is the greatest pitcher in the country.
One would hardly expeot Callahan to say anything else, considering that Mamaux
the star of his staff There are about 15 other managers each of whom claims
that tho star of his' staff Is the' best in the land. .
Tennis experts attribute B. Norrls Williams's defeat at the hands of Clarence
Griffin to tho Lopgwood tournament to lack of practice, and they predict that the
Phlladelphtan will come back strong later in the season. Williams has not been
pUytcr la tournaments this year, and it is said that he seldom practiced until a
few days before tho Longwood tourney, It Is barely possible that the experts
are underestimating the ability; of Griffin, who is really a star and one who is .
Improver ail the time.'
The Pnllly players were very much Interested in Wally Bchang's condition,
Many of Moran'a men, having predicted that he would be seriously hurt sooner or
later, 3-tt.an says there are few players in the game who so completely forget
varytnlng but the game the moment they put on a uniform. Bchang also la
popular with tha Phllly players because of his pleasing prnality,
That the relief pitching and pinch hitting idea is being overworked by, major
)ttri managers la the growing belief among players. In twelve major league
gaimt played on m recent data forty-four pitchers were used, Alexander the
Or-t being the only hurler In either league who went the full nlne-lnnlng route.
Tl majority pf the, games were low-score contests, but pitchers who were

NEW YORK. July 2G. "When the Cincin
nati Reds lined up against the Giants hero
this afternoon In the Initial till of the
present series. Christie Mathewson appeared
for the first time In his career In an adlen
uniform. Since he broke Into the same with
New York July 17. 1900, at W&shtncton
Park, Brooklyn, until today, Matty hun ben
striving to keep the metropolitan National
Leaguers on top of the heap Not only has
Matty strlved for that end, but he has been
largely Instrumental In winning pennants
and putting the name of John J. McQraw
among the great managers of baseball
Today Mathewson was given a wonderful
ovation by thousands of his friends, who
have seen him hurl his club to victory
countless times. Times have changed since
that hot July Jay, when as tho papers of
that date tell us In a few words that
"Young Mathewson possessed great speed
and plenty of confidence In himself, but
could not control his curves." Then Matty
was unknown and was, excepting what
has been quoted, not mentioned In the ac
count of that Brooklyn-New York game.
But today the old master Is hailed as the
world's greatest and most consistent pitcher
by his glgantla following In Greater New
York. Ills name Is seon on the first page
of all the newspapers, and In splto of the
fact that he Is hore to lead the Cincinnati
club to victory over the Giants, there was
not a soul In the big Btadlum who did not
wish him the best of luck In his new under
taking. But to get 'hack to that first game In
which Matty participated In In 1900 we
find that he went In In the fifth Inning
to relieve Doheny. Although he worked
less than four complete Innings, Matty
hit three batsmen, passed two and made
a wild pitch. in spite of that unen
viable record, he made a decided hit with
the experts and from that day until this
has been recognized by the baseball wotlt,
as one of Its mightiest exponents. At
present Mathewson does not intend to do
any pitching, but he may go In If he Is

Considerable Assignment
Evidently Matty faces -what you might

It can be dono. Pat Moran proved that
by ending tho Phllly drought after forty

Mathewson sftould have It In him to make
one of the best managers of the game, but
he Isn't going to plunge at once Into any
triumph. He has a slow, uphill fight ahead,
and a good part of hls.chance depends upon
