ATHLETICS HAVE NO CHANCE
" TO PURCHASE LOUIS GUISTO,
WHO ' IS SLUGGER OP MINORS
Sensational Portland Recruit Was Passed Up By
MaoK and is Almost Certain to Join
Cleveland Team in Fall
WORD hna been received from the Pacific coast that Ira Thomas, who Is on a
scouting trip for tlio Athletics, tvas negrotintlnK with the Portland Club for
Ww purchase or Louis Quisto, the sensational young first baseman whose won
derful plnylnfr haa attracted the attention of almost every major loaguo manager,
Thomas may be on the coast, but there Is absolutely no chanco for the Athletics
to land Quia to, notwithstanding the report.
There are several reasons why Mack wilt not get Quisto now, but thero Is
Ito rcasoh why this youngster Is not a member of the Athletics, carelessness
having permitted the Italian to slip through Mack's fingers. It would be Im
possible for a major league club to purchase Quisto for less than $15,000, If ho
Tras for sale, which Just about eliminates the Athletics. Manager Mack Is not
paying $16,000 for recruits, no matter how promising they appear to be, and If he
Wanted Gulsto the Cleveland club would block tho deal.
A "working agreement" (farms supposedly having beon eliminated) has ex
isted between the Cleveland and Portland owners for almost ton years, and nil
promising players from the latter team always aro found In the Clevoland train
ing camp If the scouts of tho major lcaguo team approvo of them. Cleveland
papers, acting upon advices from tho club ofllco, hovo commented at length upon
Qulsto and always refer to him as a future Indian, and It Is certain that tho
youngster will bo with Fohl's team unless the owners decide that $15,000 Is of
moro use than the player.
It never has been mentioned, but Manager, Mack, of tho Athletics, had n
chanco to get Gulsto whllo ho was still Attending St. Mary's College, but either
was ndvlsed that tho youngster would not do or paid no attention to a tip
given him by Eddio Burns, tho Phillies' catcher. Burns coaches tho St. Mary's
team early In the spring each season and ho dovcloped Gulsto. Ho wanted
Manager Moran to tako him, but as the Phils had a scout on tho coast at tho
time, Moran thought that tho scout would get Gulsto if he looked good.
Phils Also Passed Up Gulsto
IT IS posslblo that Moran thought Burns was allowing his enthusiasm to run
away with his bettor Judgment, and paid no attention to tho tip. Burns then
told Mack about Gulsto, believing, that Connlo would bo glad to tako a chance on
tho youngster. Mack had no use for a first baseman with Mclnnls on hand, but
Burns declared Gulsto could play anywhere and surely would bo a star. For
somo reason nothing ever camo of tho tip, so far ns the Athletics were con
cerned, and Gulsto was picked up by Portland.
On the coast tho youngster Is hailed as a greater first baseman than Hal
Chase. This Is tho greatest compliment that could bo paid a ball player, accord
ing to tho fans of tho Far West, as thoy never will forget Chaso's sensational
work with Los Angeles beforo ho broke Into tho American League. Gulsto is
tho leading slugger and most timely hitter In tho league, and also is a great
baso runner. Critics on tho coast declaro that Gulsto can run 100 yards in 10 1-5
econds, desplto the fact that lie ntands six feet In height and weighs 185 pounds.
Aa ho is only 21 years old, Gulsto Is at least a groat prospect.
If Gulsto should develop Into a major leaguo marvel ho would be only fol-
.uw.i.k uio looisiops ot a long list of St. Mary's Collego players who aro now or
have been stars In the East. Tho list Includes Duffy Lewis, Harry Hooper,
Dutch 'Leonard, Hal Chase, Fred Snodgrass, Arthur Schacfer. Joo Ncalon (now
flcad). Frank Snyder, Eddio Burns, Harry Krauso, Joe Oeschgcr and numerous
others. Burns coached tho team when Oeschgor was with St. Mary's, and It was
upon his recommendation that tho Phillies signed him. Burns has sent many
players to tho Pacific Coast Leaguo and Is recognized as on unusual Judge of
young talent. Manager Moran declares ho will not pass up any more of Burns's
prospects.
Bender Pitched His Best Gome of the Season
' HE result of tho first series of tho important homo stand of the Phillies was
most pleuslng to tho thousands of local fans who aro rooting for tho team to
Win tho pennant again. Thero really has not been a series throughout tho
ecoson that gavo so much encouragement. It started as was expected with
Alexander winning the first gamo, but after Eppa Rlxey was beaten In tho next
contest, tho fans were Inclined to believe that the best tho Phils could get would
bo an even break, because had not the two most dependable pitchers on Moran's
taff been eliminated?
This dope was figured out without reckoning on Georgo Chalmers and "Chief"
Bender. The former camo through with a splendid victory on Thursday and
.Bender had the Pirates eating out of his hand yesterday. The result was that
tho Phils got oft to a great start on the home stand by taking threo out of four
from Callahan's team, which has been moving along at a rapid clip.
On Thursday Chalmers showed greatly Improved form, whllo Bonder gavo
bis best exhibition of tho season yesterday. The famous veteran has twice held
opposing teams to fewer runs and hits, and also has saved many games by
nplendid relief pitching; but at no tlmo since tho fall of 1914 has Bender shown
bo much "stuff." Tho "Chief" has had a great deal of speed on several occasions,
but the "hop" on his fast ball was not as sharp as It used to be until yesterday.
Bender had a great break to his fast ball and on his curve; and also seemed to
bo moro confident and at home In the box.
Both of the Pirates' tallies were tainted, though tho first counts no an earned
run. It was made on Wagner's triple and Hlnchman's single. Both hits were
clean, but Wagner made his drive by swinging at a wild pitch after Bender had
him in tho hole. Two errors by Bancroft, mixed with a scratch single, gavo
Pittsburgh its lost ran.
Phils Again Had the Punch
THE champions showed tho "punch" when It was needed and the dashing
offense of 1915 was again In evidence. Elmer Jacobs, once a member of the
Phils, was driven from the mound In tho second Inning, and tho victory was
clinched at the expense of Cooper, who was not properly warmed up when ho
was sent to the box. Jacobs has given the Phillies a great deal of trouble this
season and the victory over him was undoubtedly sweet.
Three successive singles by Paskert, NIehoff and Stock and Good's sacrifice
fly gavo the Phlla their first run. The second Inning marked the passing of
Jacobs. Bancroft walked, skipped to third on Burns's single and scored on Ben
der's single. Paskert then sacrificed but was safe when Jacobs fumbled the ball.
This filled the bases with no one out and Jacobs was replaced by Cooper, a
southpaw. NIehoff greeted Cooper with a single and Stock and Good made sacri
fices, four runs resulting. Thereafter Cooper pitched splendid ball, holding the
Phils to three hits and retiring six men on strikes, but the damage had been done.
The gome was devoid of Interest, excepting for the work of Bender. Tho
Phillies fielded well, despite the mishap of Bancroft, Bert NIehoff making several
splendid plays. The fans were rather disappointed because Al Mamaux did not
pitch, but as they were pulling for the Phils to win they realized that perhaps It
was best for th champions. Mamaux did not show much "a tuft" in warming
up bo Manager Callahan decided to cave him for the Braves, which is excellent
xtewB.
Brooklyn Again Rallies Late in Game
BROOKLYN proved that It Is a game ball team again yesterday when it over
came St Louis's five-run lead In one inning and then after battling along
on even terms until tho eighth Inning, staged another slugging bee, which re
sulted In four runs and victory, The Dodgers have been coming strong In the
bite Innings of almost every game, a habit which Is causing several managers
to lose some sleep. Manager Moran, of the Phillies, and several other pilots
contend that the Dodgers-are going to be dangerous, but many others cannot
see It that way, despite the form being shown at the present time.
As Boston also won yesterday the Phillies failed to gain in the pennant race.
The Boston victory was like the rest of the triumphs over the Cubs. It was
won because of grand pitching and the ability of Stalllngs's team to take advan
tage of the opposing team's mlsplays. Boston has not been hitting and until it
does the wonderful work of the pitching staff will only hold the Braves close to
the leaders as Stalllnga's team cannot advance without better batting,
Columbia's decision to continue rowing undoubtedly has saved this sport
so far as the Intercollegiate regatta la concerned. The Interest In collegiate row
ing Is on the wane, and if Columbia had decided to glva up the sport, It Is likely
that the Poughkeepsla regatta would have been abandoned. Even the larger
colleges appear to be losing Interest In sports which ore not self-supporting.
The Home, Ga., team of the Georgia State League recently shut out its
opponents for seven consecutive games and four innings of the eighth contest,
which s pretty close to a world's record. The major league record is six con
secutive shut-outs, made by Pittsburgh from June 2 to June 9, 1903. The Pirates
blanked the Giants, Phillies and Boston for ES innings.

There have beon many startling surprises

RIGHT-HANDED ONE-ARM SHOTS v
DISPEL PORTSIDE GOLF AIDE
By GRANTLAND RICE
VTOW cornea Louis Martuccl, the Essex
JLN County professional, to chow that a
man can even loso an arm and still hold his
own with tho best, not as a moderate
player, but as ono good enough to go out In
36 and como back In 32 for a cplcy 08!
Which Is Just what Louis did at tho recent
professional tournament.
We watched Martuccl at play over Van
Cortlandt and his game was almost beyond
believing. Ho has a powerful right forearm,
and with this Is able to get lino diBtanco by
whipping tho club through at top Bpeed,
taking a full wallop at tho sphere.
The thirteenth hole at Van Cortlandt Is
200 yards, uphill, with a small green banked
to tho right. Good distanco and line accuracy
are both required to get there and stay
there. Yet Martuccl three times In succes
sion plunked his drive on the green. We
saw him make an oven moro remarkable
shot than this. At tho next holo he drovo
220 yards, but hooked his too shot Into the
heavy rough rough at least 10 Inches high
and excessively thick. This left him a pitch
of 80 yards to the green. Taking a heavy
niblick he tore through the thick grass and
not only got the ball out, but lifted It high
Into the air, dropping It on tho green only
eight feet from the pin, where ho rimmed
the cup for a 31
Ono-Handed Putting
One-handed putting Isn't bo hard to un
derstand. Any ono who tins played golf has
frequently tappoM the ball Into the cup
from three or four feet away and found the
shot a simple one. We wouldn't be sur
prised to see a man adopt this one-handed
style and Improve his putting on short
putts, anyway for there would be only ono
hand to control. Martuccl Is certainly an
exceptionally good putter, as he hits the
ball firmly and always gives It a clinnco.
"I believe this golf of Martuccl's ex
plodes the old theory," says Jerry TraVers,
"that the main stroke In coif Is delivered
with the left arm. We have all been told
that, but I doubt It now very much. Mar
tuccl could never get anything like the,
distance lie docs with a left-hand back
handed awing. I believe the main punch In
golf comes from the right wrist and right
forearm and that the left hand Is the guid
ing Instrument I don't bellevo any long
driving golfer such as Guilford or Bob
Gardner could get tho terrific distance they
make by any back left-handed stroke."
Any one who watches Martuccl play
would certainly Judge at once that golf was
a right-handed game, as this pro. gets re
sults with such apparent ease, being able
to play any shot called for with no left
arm to work with.
The Right Iland Punch
Wa know of another colfer who had his
left hand badly cut. When he started out
to play again the wounded hand was still
wealc and tender, so that he was barely
able to put It on the club. In fact, he
used only the first two ringers of this
hand In gripping, playing practically an en
tire right hand shot. Much to his surprise,
he was able to get about as long a ball is

punches with his elbows, and the best,'!
Leonard could uo was to Bena in a lew.j
punches under tho shoulder a wow simuarj
to tho kidney puncn, wnicn is unrrea is

little damage.
The Fifth Round
Hennv's best round was tho fifth, whl
ho landed two hard rights to the bod?
which slowed un Welsh considerably. The
boxers were sparring In tho ccntor of ths i
ring, when Leonard feinted with his left hi
to tho hoad nnd drove homo n right under
the heart Freddy wns stopped, nnd be- 'A
fore he recovered another puncn was sent 'l
to tho same spot. This gavo Benny moral
confidence nnd he tried hard for n, KnockoutJ
but It was nenr tho end of tlio round ami
tho bell temporarily linrtci Hostilities.
Then It wns that Welsh pulled his bli
nnrnrlnn. Instead of taking It easy and!
"tin canning," ns ho was wont to do In the ,1
past, ho rushed to tno center oi mo ring a
nt tho heginnins oi tno bixui mm mugm
harder than before. He swept Benny off ;
Mo roof nml drew a. prolonged hearty
cheer from tho crowd when ho rocked tha J
challenger witn a nam overnanu duiue o
tho Jaw and backed him ngalnst tho ropes :
with n shower of lefts and rights. This
marked the end of Leonard's chances for.;
victory, for he grew worried nnd lost most,)
nf hln pffoetlveness. J
From then on Welch was tho favorite ot ?l
tho crowd. Spurred on by us cneers, tne .
champion performed llko n champion and j
simply outclassed his younger rival until1
tho final bell.
Leonard Served Well
Somebody once remarked that "TouthJ
muEt bo Bcrvcd," Freddy agrcod with hlm,J

choicest assortment of Jabs, hooks and,
swings thht has been seen for many &A
day. All Benny coum see was n snower oi.

left tho ring In fairly good shape, but It;
only was because Welsh Is not a hard hit
ter. If Freddy had tho punch last nlgmV
there Is no doubt that ho would havo flat
tened tho challenger In ono of tho later
rounds.
It is hard to bcllevo that Wolsh Is a
regular tighter and can deliver the goods
llko a champion, but such Is the case. Ho
camo through with rho goods last night
and deserves tho plaudits of the multi
tude We might try to dopo It out that Leon
ard is not so good n3 ho has been ndver
tlscd, but tho dope would not hold. Benny
Is ono of tho best lightweights In tho
world, but Freddy Is the BEST.
Did Freddy Welsh? Answer It yourself.
ho had over gotten with both hands In
shape.
Thero aro probably In this country now
more than 800,000 golfers who have used
two hands and two good arms In a vain
endeavor to break an SO "hey have spent
years at the game with two hands, sflV
making from 8B to 125 swings to tho round.
When these sit down and ponder on the
fact that Martuccl, with one hand, was abla
to brcczo along for a 08, there must be x
strong tomptatlon on the part of many not
to havo tho left arm cut off possibly, but
to discard It In the golf Btroke for a whllj
to obsorvo Just what will tako plncc. A.
good many of these would certainly do no
worse And they would very likely find that
their short game, at least, might ba Im
proved by reducing tho complexity that
arises from having to control two hands In
stead of one. In this way they would havo
to let tlio club head do more of the work,
and this Is something that most golfern
don't do.
