Tho green was out sight, but. thinking the players ahead d moved oft the green by that tlmo, ho ew forth his mldlron and decided to do die. It was a beauty shot and dlsap ared to tho green. When Boyd came up, ho found tho ball it two yards from the hole. Y'r ball hit me on tho heel," spoke up Be of the caddies of tho match ahead, fcn'y for that it'd been a mile away." Boyd walked up and holed out the ball a bird lour. "Nothing doing," shouted the opponent. Boyd Is a trifle deaf. "You lose the hole. Tour ball hit a day." That doesn't matter." claimed Boyd. Be was a caddy outside tho match." And made as If to walk toward the noxt "I eay you loso the hole." Insisted the lend loudly. They exchanged shouts for some minutes.

He got another four for a bird and tho le. More shouting, They argued all the way through tho Ktch and to the clubhouse. There it was Inted out that tho disputed shot wns a b of the groen and that tho first bird was O. K. The second bird was not neces- ry. But tho friend would not be con- Biced.

OP PENNSYLVANIA 1827 Chestnut Street EASTERN DISTRIBUTOR WILLIAM T, TAYLOR Broad and Race Streets, Philadelphia MORAN'S PITCHERS HAVE NOT PASSED MAN IN 4 GAMES Philly Twirlers Make Fine Record in Successive Con tests Against Cubs DEMAREE IS REPEATER By CHANDLER D. RICIITER Perhaps some one may be able to dig up an old record for steadiness on the part of tho pitchers which will surpass that mado by Pat Moran'a hurlers In the last four games, but it la extremely doubtful. Start ing with the second of Saturday's double headers tho Philly pitchers have not Issued a single baBO on balls, which Ib one of the most unusual records In basebnll. It frequently happens that an Individual will go through threo or four games with out giving a single base on balls and Mathcwson has been known to go beyond 60 InnlngB, but we cannot recall any start of hurlers beating tho record mado hy Moran'B pitchers against tho Cubs. One of tho odd features of the four game run without a pass Is that Alexander tho Great, whose controt, as a rule, ii as near perfect ns possible, did not share In tho record, Demaree pitching two games and Hlxey and Chnlmera kacn ono. In the first enmo of Saturday's doublo- headcr. Alexander passed three men, and Joe Ocschgcr walked the first man to face him In the clchth Inning. Prior to passing tho three men, Alexander has given only one base on balls In four games, and he merely had an oft day or tho total might be larger. Dcmnrce Started Streak Demaree went through the nine Innings of the second game without walking a sin gle batter; Ulxey followed on Monday with another perfect game, so far ns con trol Is concerned, nnd yesterday Chalmers and Demaree pitched a double-header with out giving free transportation to a slnglo batBtnan. This makes n total of 38 com plete innings without a base on balls. This wonderful Bteadlnetm on the part of the Philly twirlers Is further evldenco that Moran'n staff has at last struck Its 1915 stride. In tho early part of the season nnd on the laBt western trip bases on halls were responsible for many defeats. This was particularly true In Chalmers' case, as In variably tho men he passed would score. A statistician onco figured out that 25 per cent of the men who are glvon a baso on balls have tallied runs over a stretch of five years, which means that the perfect controt of tho Philly pltcherH will Increase their effectiveness 25 per cent. It also will Increase tho confldonce of the rest of the team, as It means a lot to a team to feel suro that tho pitchers are not going to hand the opposing teams runs by putting runners on base. Alex "Will Pitch Today Alexander the Great will bo on the mound for the Phillies In the final game against the Cuba this afternoon, and If tho Nebras kan Is In his usual form It Is possible that tho streak may bo continued. Manager Moran Intends to send Alex ander back on the mound again on Satur day and he will work tho following "Wednes day and Saturday, and if rain does not In terfere he nlso will pitch on Tuesday be fore the team starts on Its last western trip. As thero Is a two-day rest between the last game of the homo stand and tho first game In tho West, Moran will bo able to come back with his star to start tho trip. Moran Is figuring nhead so far as Alexander is concerned as he desires to use him as much as possible without overworking him until the last month of the season. It Is likely that Tom Soaton or George McConnell wilt face the Phils this after noon, with chances favoring the latter. Mc Connell has not pitched In this city since ho was a member of the Yankees, seven years ago. He Is now ono of tho Cub's mainstays.

OPEN-AIR SNOOZE PARTIES HELD BY BROWNS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR WINNING STREAK By ROBERT W. THE secret Is out at last. Something has been put over in torrid St. Looye, and the hired men on Mr. Jones's payroll are chortling with excessive Klee. for the first time In their lives, they made the other . -. guys the goat nnd de voted all of their aft ernoons to wlnnlnK ball names. They grabbed 12 an even dozen in a row, nnd only kicked the Yankees out of fit st place when they took tho last six battles. And here we come to the secret There must be something llko that, or the Ilrowns would not Ije strciiKtlienlne their IHTcrntnBc c o 1 U in ti. Today their stnndlliR iy Q-:4!r n. w MAXwr.i.t. Is nn ever 50(1, which I1 only seven and one-half (fames behind the leading Ited Sox. Two weeks ago the Jonesmen shared the same spotlight with Connie's Crippled Col legians, and were the tinanlmous selection for seventh place. Now they have a chance to win the pennant, which goes to show that nothing Is certain In baseball. Began on July 23 On July 23, St. Looey trimmed Cleveland 6 to 2 In a 10-lnnlng battle. Then they went home for n long stay. Now we all know that the Browns live In tho hottest place In tho American League and Old Sol was laboring overtime when tho Athletics nrrlvcd for a scries of fio games. After tho first game, which waB won by ,the score of S to 3. Fielder Jones called early morning practice. The men came out on the Held, hut were listless, had no ginger nnd looked ns If thoy had spent an uncomfortable night. "ltow are you feeling this morning, boyn7" asked the manager. "Rotten !" came hack the reply In chorus. "Too blankety-blnnkcty hot to sleep. Not a breath of air." Here's the Secret Then came nn Idea to the astute Jones, which divulges the secret. "Cheer up, boys," ho replied. "Detter times are coming. From now on you will keep away from the hotels nnd do Homo camping out. We will pitch a couple ot 'dozen tents right here In the hnll park nnd seo If we can escape tho heat. The first snooze party will be held tonight." The plan was n success. The cool breezes crept under and through the canvas walls, the nthlctcs slumbered peacefully and audi bly out In left Meld nnd were able to play soino regular baseball In tho afternoon. In tho meantime the other teams occu pied hot, stuffy rooms In the hotels, found It Impossible to get any rest nnd appeared bleary-eyed at tho hall park for their dally trimming The secret came out today. Is It any wonder they aro winning ball games? Too had they can't play all of their games at home.

MAXWELL ago, the Ch.tney-Kllbano championship tilt has hit a snag. Money has nothing to do with it this time, as tho financial end has heen fixed up The old, moss-covered refoief question has bobbed up ngaln, and Henry Mrtzer, manager of the Baltimore slugger, refuses to accept Promoter Matt llliikle ns tho third man In the ring. He has suggested Bill Brown. Charley While and se oral others for the job, none of whom seems to bp acceptable to Jimmy Dunn or Kllbane. Chaney Is not at all anxious to battlo Kllbane. Ills actions show It, and this latest hitch Is another way of getting out of tho scrap, lllnkel Is a good referee nnd proved It by his work In tho Moran-Dlllon bout last month. In addition to that, he Is president of the American Boxing Asso ciation and alM Is putting up $16,000 for the battle. He Is the only logical man for referee and Chaney Is getting himself In bad when he objects to hltn. According to the latest dope. Chancy Is to get $5000 If he wins from Kllbane and $6500 If he loses. Evidently ho believes that $6500 Is not enough money for a good beating. Johnny O'Leary, who mado such a hit hero la3t winter, sprung a big surprise In Boston last night when he won tho decision over Hver Hammer, the Chicago slugger. Johnny dropped Kver In tho fifth and hnd him In bad shape In the tenth. Tho referee's verdict was popular with the crowd, which makes It unanimous.
