I Strain Will Surely Land Flag and Dodgers'
jueaa is rsot secure
By CHANDLER
MILLER HUOaiNS, manager of the St.
Louis Cardlnnls, declines that the
rhllllfi and Braves have an excellent
chance to overhaul the Dodgers. While
Brooklyn has an advantage becauao of Its
urge lead, ho Fays, conditions nro such
that this lead might bo cut clown within a
week unless tho Dodgers show great stay
in qualities.
Th raco has reached a stage, according

fhfe leading tenms are playing about tho
',". Drand of hall nnd none hns shown
v marked superiority In their recent
mea with tho Cardinals. Hugglns be
iuvm that the Phillies have a great chnnce
because Moran's team Is one of tho most
ntletent In the game, and Is a combina
tion which Is not likely to crack.
Depends on Pitchers
"Much will depend upon the work of
,hfee pitchers," says Muggins. "A raco

Mlitv of ono pitcher to stand overwork

Jhelr Playing strength. Brooklyn has a
irhty rood lead nt this stago of the raco,
but It can be lost within a week If the
f,,m cracks. The race will bo won by
h team that can stand tho gaff, with tho
Phillies and Braves having almost an even
chance.
I look to see tho star pitcher of each
tart start working every third day or oven
"very othor day within two weeks, nnd
much will depend upon their ability to stand
So strain. It tho Phillies and Boston start
working Alexander and Rudolph out of
turn. It will be necessary for tho Dodgers
to do the Bamo with Pfcrfor.
Alec Can Stand Gaff
"Alexander nnd nudolph have proved
that they can stand this grind nnd In tho
oast they have got stronger ns the raco
nrogresscd. Whllo I think Pfeffcr la
one of the best pitchers In tho game, ho
has never been through this grind and It Is
possible that It might bo too much for
him.
"Tho Phillies look better than nt nny
time this season. They are ono of the
steadiest teams In either league and havo
proved that they are game, strong finish
ers, and I look to see them make a great
' tight Wo fooled them Saturday with young
Watson and beat Alexander, which I began
to think was Impossible. This "Watson
looked mighty good nnd I think I havo
plcXed up a great pitcher."
Hugglns Springs Surprise
After Alexander had beaten I.ce Meadows
by the scoro of 1 to 0 In n great pitching
duel on the Cardinals' first trip Kast, Man
ager Hugglns said: "I am through wast
ing a good pitcher trying to beat Alex
ander. Look nt tho game Meadows pitched
today, only to meet defeat. Ho would havo
beaten any other pitcher In tho land hut
'Aler', today From now on I am going
to take a chance on a recruit against Alex
ander, becauso If. tho big fellow Is right no
pitcher can beat him, whllo If ho Is off
form, any hurler hns a chance.
, "In 1015 Meadows and Donk held the
Phillies to ono or two runs at least six
times when opposed to 'Alex,' but we did
n;t beat him nil year. Now what Is tho
sense In wasting a Btar trying to beat him?"
On Saturday Hugglna tried out his
schema when ho sent Milton Watson, n
youngster who was purchased from the
Paris, Tex., team of tho Texas-Oklahoma
League two weeks ago. against Alexander.
The result was that the Cardinals gained
their victory over Alexander since Wllllo
Doak won a 1 to 0 game from tho Nebras
kan In September. 19H, and the triumph
was not duo to the fact that the Philly
tar had an off day, but becauso young
Watson pitched an unuounl game of ball.
It Is possible that Wntson merely had
a. good day, hut any youngster who can
pull a win over Alexander under such ad
verse conditions will boar wntchlng, Wat
eon showed a wonderful nmount of natural
ability, plus aa much nerve In the pinches
as any youngstor over displayed In his
first major league start.
The claim has been mnde that the Phils
could havo won If they bunted on Watson,
and perhaps such Is tho truth, but It might
also be timely to remark that Walter
Johnson, "Dutch" Leonard, "Babe" Ruth
and Al Mamaux are unusually Blow In
handling bunts j but who can bunt on them
when they are right?
Recruit Looked Good
Watson appeared to bo rather awkward

Players popped up Infield files In trying to

to bunt, and that Is the condition the Phil.
Ile9 encountered Saturday.
Manager Moran realized this and tried
to cross Watson by permitting his men
to take a good, healthy swing at the first
fast ball delivered by the youngster. A
sacrifice might havo changed the whole
gnmo on two different occasions, but still
more would have been accomplished If tho
batter had been nble to cut a hit through
tho unsettled Infield. It wus another case
where the second guess Is best.
Tho Phillies were beaten because they
were facing ns fine a brand of pitching as
they havo seen In imlto a while, and also
because tho breaks were against them.
Young Watson can hardly be expected to ro
peat his performance In the nenr future, but
ho showed enough to convince ono that Mil
ler Uugglns has a future star. By the time
tho 1917 season opens ho should be prop
erly schooled and ready to take his placo
with the select class.
Tho youngster's curve ball Is not qulto
right yet, but with a clever mnnnger and
one of the catchers In tho gamo In Hnyder
to school him, Watson Is likely to develop
rnpldly. Certainly no youngster over mado
a more Impressive debut.
Demarcc Today
In an attempt to tnke tho fourth and final
gnmo of tho series with tho St. Louis
Cardinals this afternoon rat Moran will
send Al Dcmareo to tho front. Dcmarco
has been hurling a high brand of ball of
lato nnd as ho seemingly has been getting
tho breaks Manager Moran Is confident that
tho former Giant will bring home tho vic
tory thnt will give tho champs thrco out
of four In tho series.
Mnnnger Hugglns most likely will send
Leon "Itcd" Ames In-to head off tho Phils
and In recent games the veteran sorroll
topped heaver hns made It hard for tho
Quakers. Tho former member of Mc
G raw's team always has been trouhlcsomo
for Moran's boys, but with so much at stnko
the chnnips are out to bombard his offering
today.

TENNIS FUTURE IN THIS CITY
BRIGHT AND IN GOOD HANDS
PHILADELPHIA'S tennis futuro Is In
good hands. The youth of our fair city,
who In tho next decade will represent us In
tournament play, la responding to tho ndvlce
nnd conchlng offered. Just for love of the
Riime, by a group of older players, and
Bhovvlng signs of Improvement fur beyond
expectation.
A trip to the Cynwd Club, where the
first nuuunl tounlnnient for the junior chnin
plonshlp of tho Stato Is In progress, will
bear out this contention. Fifty boys, rang
ing In years from 10 to 1C, fnced the
starter on Saturday. Thin Is tho largest
nnd most representative field thnt has ever
entered a Junior tournament In this section.
According to ono prominent player, who
at times has held tho Philadelphia nnd dis
trict nnd several other titles, this city will
play a more Important part In national
tennis nftalrs In tho next decado thnn ever
before. This Is n very broad statement,
when one remembers thnt It. Norrls Wil
liams, 2d, Wallace F Johnson, Joseph J.
Armstrong, Cralj Middle. William T. Tllden.
2d, nnd many other first-class players claim
this city as their home. But there are facts
to prove It.
Started One Year Ago
The development of Junior tennis plnyerfl
hero begnn seriously only a yenr ngo, when
n few far-slnhtcd men. Interested In tennis
fnr th siika of the game nlone, began to
think of tho future, when Williams. John
son. Armstrong. Tildcn, Hlddie, et al., would
no longer show the dash and pep that aro
their present portion.
True, there has been an annual Philadel
phia and district Junior tournnmont for a
matter of 10 years, but not until this year
was the field a representative one, nnd not
until this year was nny determined effort
made to encourago tho youngstors
At present Philadelphia Is fairly well
represented at the top of the tennis heap,
with Williams In tho first ten, Johnson and
Armstrong In the second and Diddle In the
third. But thero Is a big gap between
these names and the names of other local
players In the national ranking list. Thero
lies our present weakneas, In good second
string players. ....
The present crop of Juniors Is not only
expected to produce the players to take
the places of Williams and other first-class
men. but also to produce enough sound
players to balanco the list
The most promlalng of the Juniors may
bo divided Into three classes, those from
18 to 21, those from It to 18 and those
under 14. The second class Is the most Im
portant, Inasmuch as the foundation of a
tennis player's game Is laid whllo he Is be
tween the ages of 11 and IK. In tho first
class the fundamentals are already well
crunded, and in the third there Is nothing
to go by but signs of natural aptitude.
Stars in First Class
In the first class we have Roy R. Coffin,
Philadelphia Junior champion; Edward C.
Cassard, former tltleholder; J- II. Keefe,
Jr.. John Haines. Brandon Walsh. G. H.
Thornton nnd Willis II Harlow. Coflln and
Cassard are well known, for both play In
many tournaments. Haines, Walsh and
Thornton are Interscholastlo stars. Har
low Is the Hill School lad who defeated
Dr. P. B. Hawk In straight Bets early this
year. He won the Penn Interscholastlo
title this ye,ar and In 191B. Keefe. like
Cassard, plays In many tournaments and
looks better on every start. These players
are all Ineligible for the Pennsylvania
Junior championship, which Is open only to
boys under 17.

Shawnee, Western and
Philadelphia Open
This Month Gumbs
Brothers Assault Pub
lic Course
By SANDY McNIBLICK
TTAC
V pr
ACATIChV times spell the festival of
ros, nnd during the rest of the weeks
of this month there'll be plenty of chance
for tho local pros to work out their theo
ries for themselves In tournaments.
August has often been talked of ns the
best month In which to hold the national
open tournament, provided It cannot be
held after nil the salutes nre fired to tha
regular golf season.
Tho professional must do his playing
when ho can best spare the time, nnd this
is. of courso, when ho has tho least teach
ing to do.
Throngs of pupils leave town In August
Pros are packing up and making readj
for the holiday offered them nt Shawnee
this week In the open tourney there. It Is
hard to discover a pro who Intends to sit
Quietly nt home while tho play Is going
forward, and it looks as It there wilt be a
famlno of links Instructors hereabouts this
week.
Next week was to have been tho Phila
delphia open, but this has been set over n
wock or two to make way for the western
open, which Is the same week. While not
many locnl pros will go all the way to
Milwaukee for It. the committee for the
local tourney felt that a much better field
would strive In the Philadelphia open If
tho two events did not conflict.
Bnla Prcpnred
Tho sccnory Is set and all Is ngog at
Bala now In preparation for the annual
Invitation tournament there beginning
Wednesday.
The event hns come to bo a classic in
Quaker events because tho Bnla folk are
such rollicking hosts, the golf course Is so
good nnd the bill In general la so attrac
tive.' . ,,
Sunrlso to sunset nre the hours for nil
hands. . , , .
Superintendent Harry C. Hunter looked
up over his glnsses the other day to pro
test against the Invnslon of his quarters
by mi army. The whole golf building shook
under tho tramp of Its feet where his of
fice Is at Cobb's Creek.
But tho army was only nbout 700 pounds
of dumb brothers. The two gigantic broth
ers, J H. nnd 8. W. Gumbs. had come over
from Pine Valley, which courso nil who
havo played It havo pronounced the finest
In tho land.
"Wo've heard so much about this public
courso you have -here." they said, jis they
each smothered a pen In giant fists to reg
ister, "that wo thought we'd come over nnd
havo a fling nt It."
"Go easy with It," said "Supo" Hunter,
as tho hugh Brothers Gumbs squeezed
through tho door and started after the
defenseless course.
Two Little Recruits
Ono of tho best examples of nptltude for
the game of golf who has come to light
this season In this city Is Frank Parker,
who Is making things hum nt Aronlmlnk.
The first time he ever had a club In his
hand was last November, according to his
teacher, Jim Hackney. Parker then took
a few lessons nnd showed remarkable
ability
This season he has been nble to break
Into the 80s. Recently In his first tour
nament ho shot 11 91 nnd a 92 to qualify.

Which Is going somewhat, considering the
natural hazards In coming before the public
for tho first time.
This Is not quite the brilliant record
which was set up last week by George
Shlcrferleln, at Schenectady, who was alo
In his first tourney at the Mohawk Club.
Ho wai matched first off against Max
Mnrston, something that would have takn

it rnny not seem fair to some to rank
Mrs. Vnnderbeck first, even though she
Is the champion of nil, because she has
not played In tho tournaments this year",
but It doesn't seem fair not to rank her at
all. so I havo given her No. 1. In my own
opinion Miss Campbell Is playing as good
golf ns any thla year, and that 1b why I
havo given her such a high place. Some
of my friends helped me to get up this

never miss a day of your column and I
think It Is Just dandy.
