MORAN'S PITCHING PROBLEM SOLVED TEAM IS IN SPLENDID SHAPE FQRDglVJNQ FINISH
PHILLIES' PITCHERS CONTINUE
TO DISPLAY WONDERFUL FORM;
CHAMPIONS. READY FOR DRIVE
Moran's Hurlers Have Rounded Into Form
Proper Time and Brooklyn's Five-Game
Lead Does Not Look So Large
TUB Phllllo? were not able to take both pirnes of yesterday's double header
with the Cub and aa a result tho National league champions lost another
half game In the pennant race because Brooklyn niraln defeated Cincinnati, while
Boston won another pitching: duel from St. Louis; but withal It cannot bo said
that yesterday was a day of disappointment to local fans. On tho contrary, It
was a day which Increased the confldenco of tho Phllly players, who now feci
certain that tho Dodgers will bo overtaken In tho stretch.
The reason for tho unusual confidence Is the splendid showing; mado by
Georgo Chalmers and Al Domarcc on tho mound. All doubt as to tho ability
of Moran's pitchers to stand the paco has been removed. Tho consistently bril
liant hurling of Alexander, ItUcy, Demarco, Bender and Chalmers since tho
Phillies opened their homo stand proves conclusively that tho pitching staff at
lost has rounded Into form.
It Is a raro occurrence for Moran to utter anything that sounds llko a
prediction, but tho Fltchburg genlu? recontly declared that ho would cease worry
lnff If ho could get consistent work out of the pitching staff. Now that tho
pltohers have proved that thoy can be depended upon, tho fans can expect n,
lato Bcason drive, such as tho champions had last season. It might bo well
to recall that the Codgers were within ono gamo of first place when tho Phils
started tho 1915 drive In September. They could not stand tho paco and fell far
In tho rear. Can they stand It this season?
Pilchlntr Is more than half the battle, and It was pitching, coupled with In
telligent ball and an occasional long wallop, that won tho pennant last ncason.
With Alexander tho Great In better shapo than ever before nt this tlmo of tho
season, and four capable hurling nsslstants, tho Phllly players feol confident
that thoy will carry tho Dodgers along at such a terrific clip that tho Robins
Will crack. It Is going to bo tho hardest fight slnco 1908 when tho homostrotch
Is reached, and tho Phll3 must battle against great edds, but If thoy can main
tain their present clip they should win, unless Brooklyn plays bettor ball than
any championship team In tho National Lcaguo has ohown slnco tho old Cub
machlno was at Its zonlth.
Two Wonderful Pitching Duels Were Staged
ANOTHER, largo crowd saw yesterday's double-header tfjid thoy were treated
Xjl to two of tho best pitching- duels of tho season. Only seven runs wcro scored
by thp two teams, but threo being earned, whllo 10 lilts represented tho clubbing
ability of tho Phils and the Cubs, with tho Cubs outhlttlng tho champions 10 to 6.
Four of ..the Chicago hits- wero scratches, whllo half of tho Phllly safeties woro
' Infield hits which wero beaten out.
-x Thero was little to chooso botweon Lavonder, Hondrlx, Chalmers and Demaree.
i They all pitched well enough to have won under ordinary conditions, but tho
breaks woro against Chalmers In the first game and Hendrlx In the second.
Tho latter hold tho Phillies to two hits, ono of which was a scratch, but his own
poor control and mlserablo fielding gavo tho Phillies thrco runs and a victory
In tho opening Inning. Thereafter Hendrlx was Invincible but so was Demarco,
excepting for a slight lapse In tho eighth Inning.
For six Innings Demarco. retired tho Cubs In order and whon ho retired
Zelder on an easy chanco In the sovonth tho fans had visions of a perfect gamo,
but Flack spollod tho dream by bouncing a single past Nlohoff. Zimmerman
doubled in tho same Inning, but nothing camo of It. as Kelly fanned. Thrco more
hits word bunched In tho eighth for two rune, but Demaro.i pulled himself to
ucther In tho ninth, retiring tho sldo In order. In seven of tho nlno Innings
tho Cubs wont out in order In tho second game, whilo In tho first game Chalmers
permitted only three batsmen to faco him In six of tho nlno Innings. Lavender
had six perfect Innings In tho first gome, whllo Hendrlx had four In tho second.
Altogether It was tho finest exhibition of pitching of tho scaeon.
The Phillies demonstrated In tho second game that they still have tho un
canny faculty of making runs without hitting whon the threo runs were tallied
With tho aid of only one hit, clevor work on the bases and taking advantago of
tho Cubs's mlsrlays bringing over the neoded tallies.
Chalmers Unlucky To Oppose Lavender
JIMMY LAVENDER Is ono of thoso odd Individuals who are either vory, vory
good or vory bad. It Is doubtful If there is a moro erratic pitcher In the
tame. Tho diminutive spttball artist la very much llko Jimmy Dygort, another
undersized moist ball hurl".-. Dygert either shut out his opponents or was driven
from iho mound, and Lavender works In very much tho samo manner. Llko
Dygert, Lavender seems to lose a. great deal of his "rtuff" when runners aro on
j basex and ho cannot take his full swing.
Yesterday Lavender had ono of his good days ind tho Phillies did not have
a chance to beat him. Ho had great speed, with an excellont break on his fast
ball, "whllo his spltter was working well. Ho succeeded In keeping tho bags
clear In soven of tho nlno innings and two of tho Phillies' four hits were Infield
cratches. All things considered, Latender gave ono of the cleverest exhibitions
ehown by a visiting hurler against the Phils this season. "With very few excep
tions tho chances offered Lavender's support wero vory easy.
Chalmers hod his usual hard luck. It usually is Chalmers's misfortune to be
en tho mound when tho opposing pitcher Is at his best and yesterday was no
exception. Five hits were all that tho Bruins could get off Chalmers's pitching
and threo of these were scratches. Only one of the Cubs's runs was earned, that
being mado by Helno Zimmerman on a long smash Into tho center field bleachers.
The other run was duo to an error of judgment, slow fielding by Good and a. fumble
by Bancroft,
Chalmers pitched well enough to have won nlno games out of ten and It was
unfortunate that ho was plttod against Lavender. It was Chalmers's second
brilliant exhibition within a week, which Indicates that he Is back In his 1915
form. "When In shapo thero are few bettor pltchora than Chalmers and as ho
can stand plenty of work, Moran's pitching staff shapes up well for tho final drive.
Remarkable Slugging Games In Northwestern League
THE Vancouver and Butto teams played two remarkable games on July 19
and 20. On July 19 Vancouver defeated Butte 16 to 12. the former making
21 hits, while the latter got 16. Many extra base hits were Included in tho total.
Tho following day Vancouver made a record that has not been approached In
years when it made 31 hits and 27 runs in eight innings off Pitchers Melkel
and O'Laughlln. In this game Butte made 9 runs and 16 hits.
In tho two games the teams made a total of 84 hits and 64 runs, Vancouver
contributing 62 hits and 43 runs. Calvo, tho youthful Cuban, who was with
Washington two years ago, made 11 hits In tho two gomes, including four
doubles, a triple and a home run, whlla Brlnker, a Phllly recruit, made six hits
cut of six time3 at bat in the game of July 20. Five of tho safeties were singles.
Frank Schulte, who was traded to the Pirates on Saturday, was the last of
the famous Cub machine which met the White Sox in 1306 so far as continuous
service is concerned. Tinker and Brown also wero members of this team, but
they spent two years in Cincinnati and with the Feds. Archer did not Join the
Cubs until 1909 and therefore was not a member of the original team constructed
by Frank Selee and willed to Chance. This may decide many arguments.
After watching plays at second base on attempted steals, one cannot help
but feel that the umpires give incorrect decisions moro than half the time. In the
first place the baseman seldom tags the runner with the baU and in the second
be invariably stands directly over the bag waiting for the runner to slide into
ttw balL Half of the time tho runner is tagged aa high as the knees, which
means that his feet must have struck the bag before he was tagged, but so long
as tho ball arrives ahead of the runner the umpires continue to call the men out.
Sherwood Magee had a field day in Boston yesterday. The former Phllly star
made three hits out of three times at bat, and also made two sensational one
kanded catches of Jong drives, Jt either drive had gone safe the Cardinals would
have won In the regulation number of innings. As it happened they aaved tho
cams and StaUings'u team ncored the only run, of the contest in the eleventh Inning.
While tha Bt. Louis Browns were winning their twelfth straight victory in tho
American League Davenport Was setting an individual record. Within the last
threa days tha hurler has pitched three full games and has dona relief work la
another.

JOHNSTON DROPS A SET
Joseph J. Armstrong; ilcsplto his defeat
by National Champion "William JohnBton In
the final yesterday, was the real haro of
the annual Longwood tennis classic. Arm
strong chopped his way to the final through
tho hardest half of the draw, leaving be
hind, mangled and bleeding. Claronco
James Grlllln. conqueror of R. Norrls Will
lams, 2d ! "Itchy" Kumagac, tho Japaneso

Armstrong, who copped tho I'cnn State
tltlt from Wallace Johnion a year ago In
a bitter battle, has shown more this year
In tho way of Improvement than at any
othor tlms since hlo arrival In these parts
from tho wilds of Minnesota. This Is ro,
oven In view of the fact that ho already
has lost to Tlldcn, Church and Wallace
Johnson.
Thrice Beaten
Tildcn's victory over Armstrong was In
the Pcnn State tilt. Church's In the chal
lenge round at Wilmington and JohnBon's
In the Merlon-Cynwyd lutcrclub League
match. These threo defeats will bo some
what offset whon tho National Ranking
Committee gets In Its "rank" work by his
wonderful performance In the Longwood
event
Taking a set from tho national champion
counts tremendously. It has been said
that Johnson let down In the third set of
yesterday's final, but this Baying cannot
carry weight simply because it cannot be
proved. Certainly Armstrong earned It.
After winning tha first two sots at 0-0, 6-3,
it was freely predicted that Johnston would
wade right through his doughty opponent
and clean up In straight Bets.
But Armstrong flashed some of the bril
liancy that proved too much for Griffin
and Kumagae, and took the third set at
0-2. This was satisfaction enough for ono
day, and Johnston's powerful forehand
drive and Judicious use of tho much-condemned
mid-court position prevailed In the
fourth set at 6-1.
Brooke Edwards Starring
Brooke ndwards. the Philadelphia tennis
player, who has been commended for
bravery whllo attending to the wounded
"somewhere In France," has a host of
friends among local tennli plavers. Ed
wards and his brother "Ted" formed the
Merlon Cricket Club's second doubles team
In the Interclub League last year.
Last year Ed v. a r da played In virtually
every Important tournament In this sec
tion At Wilmington, defeated In the first
round, ho stuck It out and eventually won
the consolation Blnglea event, defeating C.
N. Beard, of Cynwyd. In the final In which
one set went to 23 games. In the Phila
delphia mixed doubles at Manhelm In the
fall Kdwards and Miss Edith Runk, who
now Is Mrs. Liggett, went through the field
to the final, but failed to capture the title.
Before leaving for the war lone early
last winter Edwards Informed his friends
that he would ba back for the mixed dou
bles at Manhelm In September.
