10 " EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, -Wio -j CRAVAT MAY BE RELEASED AND REPLACED BY HEINE ZIMMERMAN, OF CHICAGO CUBS EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST IT,, 1916. f it PHILLIES WOULD BE GREATLY STRENGTHENED BY ZIMMERMAN PLAYING IN CRAVATH'S PLACE Rumors Affoat That Gawy is to Go and That Heine is to Become a Philly Player Moran Could Handle the Great One Well THE first announcement of tho proposed wilo of n star baseball player by his old club always meeta With ribald laughter from players, managers and fans alike. So It Was when a rumor floated over tho Quaker City shortly nftor tho Wortd'a series of 1914 to tho effect that tho Athletics wcro solng to sell Kddlo Collins. "When Connlo Mack was nsked about It he laughed. Eddie himself dittoed. So did overy ono. Today the l-nnsdowno citizen Is playing with Chicago. This was truo wheri tho first news leaked out that Speaker was to be sold by tho Rod Sok to tho Cleveland club; that Matty was going to becomo manager of tho Reds In a trade In which Herzog was to Join the Giants; that Iijolo was coming to tho Athletics from Cloveland, etc., almost nd Infinitum. Hence the first thing that happened when It was reported that Cravath was to leave the Phillies and that Heine Zimmerman, of tho Cubs, was to come to Philadelphia was laughter and more of It. This rumor is still a rumor. No ono has omrmed It. Yet tho fact that Ed Wolfe, tho scout of tho Phillies, gave out tho yarn tliat Cravath might go Is fairly good ovidenco that this Idea wns In Homebody's mind closely connected with tho affairs of tho Philadelphia National League Club. Color is also added to tho Cravath story by tho fact that a strenuous denial has not been made. Had such a denial been made It would havo meant llttlo or nothing, as baseball ofllclals always deny everything up to tho last moment. But tho fact that tho denial was not made Indicates that Cravath's departuro from the Philly ranks Is something more than tho plpo dream of a Salt Lake City scribe. Zimmerman Would Like to Play With Phils THE great Zlm is not In Philadelphia, consequently it has been Impossible to ask his opinion on the deal In which ho is said to be Involved. Nevertheless, it Is a fact that Zimmerman would Uko to play with tho Phillies. In tho llrst place, ho does not get along well with Joe Tinker In Chicago. Thoy were never a z happy pair when thoy played together under Frank Chance, nnd now their rela tions aro oven more strained becauso Zimmerman naturally has soino feeling of resentment that his former playing mato should hold tho august position as his superior officer. Thero has been much evidence that Zlm would like to becomo a Philly player. Whenever tho Cubs aro In Philadelphia or tho Phillies Aro In Chicago Hclno pais With tho Phils. This was also true during tho last two spring training seasons. When the Phillies wcro In Tampa or tho Cubs wero in St. Petersburg, Zimmer man was with the Philly players far moro than ho was with his own club. During tho last world's scries Zlm was a constnnt companion of tho Phillies hero and In Boston. Furthermore, Hclno has often said that he liked the Philly bunch better than any other men In either league. Thcreforo It Is rcnsonablo to mipposo that he would glvo his best efforts to them If ho became a member of tho team. Pat Moran Could Handle Zimmerman ALTHOUGH few know it, Pat Moran la very sovero with his players. Ho knows, i"X furthermore, Just how to handle each man, and ho would know how to handlo Zimmerman, Ho has said as much. Pat would havo nn easier time handling him, too, than any ono eloo because, as stated, Zimmerman would Uko to play here. Now come the questions, where would Zlm play on the Philly team and what would bo his valuo? While no dcflnlto statement has been mado by Moran, It is almost certain that he would not break up his Infield by playing Zlm at cither eccond In place of Bert Nlehoff or at thirfl In ploco of Stock or Byrne. But ho might play him in right field. This chimes with tho story that Cravath Is about to depart. Zimmerman would be lnvaluablo to tho Phillies as an offensive player, nnd he would bo nblo to tako care of tho outfield position Just ns well If not better than Cravath becauso ho Is much faster. Cravath has had a lot of experience In handling balls that carom from tho right Held wall, but ho Is not able to cover tho ground that Heine can. Zimmerman Is a hard, long, consistent hitter. Ho led the National Lraguo batsmen in 1010 and ho has been hitting well over since. If ho played 72 ball games In tho P.hlllles' park ho would unquestionably lead tho league In cxtra-baso hitting. Ho would havo moro homo runs than Cravath and Ludcrus combined In a season. Fans probably havo noticed that ho gets a number of home runs hero every year and a lot of extra-baso hits, although ho plays only 22 gnmes n year here. All things considered, the Phillies would bo greatly strengthened by tho addi tion of Zimmerman, even If Cravath were turned loose. Gould Is One of Season's Finds WHILE so much has been said of tho ability of Slslor, who Is hero with tho St. Louis Browns, fans in tho East havo overlooked Jay Gould, tho young liurler purchased by Cleveland from tho Threo-I League. Gould was passod up a number, of times on nccount of his small stature. It Appears that ho wa1: not deemed strong enough for mnjor-lenguo company, In splto of his consistent worl: in the minors. Gould Is tho smallest hurlcr in the American League. This distinction formerly was held by Pitcher Wolfgang, of tho AVhltoSox. Tho major-leaguo game In which Gould pitched was nt tho Polo Grounds, on July 11. Ho replaced Coumbo In tho fifth inning, at a time when tho Ynnkees wero winning. Gould allowed only ono hit In tho four succeeding innings and tanned flvo batsmen. Lee FohMvas so well pleased with his work that he sent him in to start the g-.me the following day against the New Yorkers. He went Well for seven innings, allowing but one hit. However, In the eighth ho weakened And had to be replaced by Stanley Covolcskl. Gould Is 20 yeir.-t old. Ho has a lot of speed, a fast-breaking curvo and un usually good control for a player with so llttlo major league experience. William M. Johnston Playing in Great Form EXPERTS who havo been following .tho tennis matches on tho Casino courts at Newport aro unanimous In -the opinion that the national champion, William II. Johnston, of California, Is playing even bettor this year than he did when ho captured tho title In 1015, If this is true, the Eastern players will havo llttlo chance to regain the!.- lost laurels at Forest Hills. Johnston's play at Newport has been superb. His service, while not as severe es that of some of the coast players, is remarkably steady, and tho shots are bo well placed that tho strlker-out Is at almost as great a disadvantage as If he were battlnff against Maurlie McLoughlln's cannon-ball offerings. One of tho noticeable features of Johnston's play this season has been his uncanny ability to anticipate his opponents' shots. Somo who have seen him In action recently declare that ho eventually will bo as great at this end of tho game os Bill Larned and Norman E. Brookes wero when at the height of their games. Although Johnston is not In tho least husky, he is of that speedy, wiry type that never tlres'nnd who is able to play at top speed through a five-set match, A tennis fan wishes to know why it is that several weeks havo gone by without Molla BJuratpdt having won a title. Thn answer is easy. There havo not been any Women's tournaments large enough to attract Holla's attention. Pat Moran la not going to allow his men to get off form. The Phils had no same scheduled yesterday; nevertheless, Moran made every member of tho squad report at 10 o'clock as usual and go through a long drill. That Is tho kind of managership that wins pennants. The growing popularity of motorcycling Is seen weekly at tho Point Breeze motordrome. Last Thursday there wero 22,000 fans out, many of whom had to be sent Into the arena. Unless rain spoils the show tonight, there will be fully as many people out ts there were last Thursday, if not mire. With the boainy season less than two weeks away, Indications are that 1916-17 will be a great year for the sport In Philadelphia. Local promoters declare that a better grade of show.: Mill be put on, which in turn means bigger houses and more prosperous times for vxry one connected with the fighting game, The most enthusiastic "bugs" in the world are golfers. Yesterday Mrs. C. II. Vanderbeck decided that she would play over the municipal course at Cobb's' Cjffek, Jft spite of the rain which fell all afternoon, the national champion con tinned to play until she had cunk her last putt In the eighteenth hole. Two Philadelphia athletes may be heard from in naval circles In a year or two. Dave Joffe. pall playe. and Bill Fletcher, football star, both graduates of South' Philadelphia High School, have been admitted to the Naval Academy, Annapolis.

VANDi:rtm:cK, woman golf champion of tho United States, will default her title nt tho next championship to ho held In October at Hos ton. Mrs. Vanderbeck nnnounccd today that alio luul fully mado up her mind to accept the nivlce of her physician not to piny. "It Is a hitter disappointment," said tho champion, "to give up tho tltlo without oven playing for It, but I havo decided that tho national tournament would be too much of a strain and that I would he foolish to Jeopardize my health again.' "At llrst I thought I would play In tho Bcrthcllyn Cup matches at Huntingdon Valley, which como two weeks beforo the national, to reo what that tourney would do to mo ; but now I luu e decided not to cuter any tournaments this year and to wait till another year. "After my long rest this year I might not be nblo to keep my championship title, but as I said before. It would bo somo satisfaction to play for It, at leaRt. It is a funny thing, but I havo been making better seqres this year than over, and nt tho same time I don't remember when I havo ever been ko unsteady. Steadiness has usually boon tho best part of my game. Hut my not entering tho national Is not a question of how I nm playing. It la a quostlon of tho strnln It would ho on me. and that Is what has decided mo definitely not to play." This announcement will como as a great blow to Philadelphia fans, who hnil hoped to seo Mrs. Vanderbeck retain her worthy honors for somo time. OIT on Approaches In her match yesterday with Georgo C. Klauder nt tho public course Mrs. Vander beck played a beautiful game on her long shots through tho fairway. Sho was always holo h'gh for par, but could not get her putts down. Tho ' champion was also a llttlo oft on her short approaches. Her driving was lino and straight hut with tho exception of two or three drives, the gallery did not feel that sho wa getting as much power as sho did last year. Hut her 80 was very fast considering tho rain and tho heaviness of the course, and sho bad Klauder all squaro on tho last green, which Is a feat In Itself. Tho national champion thinks tho public courso Is very good nnd will play thero again shortly. Sho delighted tho caddies by presenting them with about 25 clubs and two golf hags." Mrs. Vanderbeck said Bho felt right nt homo on tho course, for It marked tho spot where she used to go nshlng as a llttlo girl. "Wo fished for minnows," sho said, "and wo always used to como here on our picnics when wo wcro children. It was right over thero," sho said, pointing to tho creek lo front of tho 1 1th green, ''that my llttlo brother cut his foot ono day nnd wo nil had to go home." Then sho Inld a long pitch shot on tho green. Memories of black feudal days, when it was the pretty custom for tho limb of one family tree to squint along tha blue barrel of a shot gun nnd tako a pot shot from tho shelter of some bushes at tho back of the favored son of a rival family, aro being revived today. , Tha MacBean family Is "gunning" for the Meehans. Tho sheriff of tho North Hills Country Club has been assured that there "won't bo no killln's," but aside from tha absence of shot guns, blood lust and a few other things, the contentions of the two families take on all the aspect of a regular feud, One family wishes earnestly to wallop the other. The weapons selected aro golf sticks at C000 yards over the North Hills at high noon. Tho preliminary articles are being signed up today, practice shots taken, mid all looks rosy for a merry battle. Strafe Talk Begins It all started when J. Franklin Meehan Issued a sweeping challenge through these columns to any family golf team In the U, H. A., to a match for the championship. John P. Macliean, Jr. read tho den, "What!" ho shouted, and bore the challenge forthwith to his parent. Im mediately a family pow-pow was he'd. Yesterday the phones were working, and today representatives of the families are gathered at North Hill to arrange the last details. The original challenge stipulated husband, wife and four children. But Meehan, Sr., cut this number to three, since that is the number of MacBean sons. Meehan. Sr., bhould win from MacBean, Sr., and Mrs. Meehan, a finished player, should also win from Mrs. MacBean, who has not played much and has great trouble With driving. Meehan, Sr., has great con fidence in the match play of his two boys, Thomas, and J. P Jr., but they will have to show their most brilliant shots to win from Norman MacBean and J. P. Jr. The last representative of the MacBeans Is Donald, 13 years old, who has been Tf ! vunno 5 I .rVri s-r, ye-U AH-Au- yi . , (LVtVATIKiwr Llu XIV l) UNbTf.V T1HEN ) KItHT Q- WE.MM-M MAN WITH A FJ3W CHOICE RECORDS RJH ?

Tho national championships como on npacc. S. Hrlggs plclled up a kit of clubs tho other day nnd showed tho greatest fond ness for the game of golf by taking Just ns many strokes as ho fancied at each hole. Ho Is In tho beginning of his efTorts and In nn event at North Hills tho other day Ilrlggs turned his six holes In a fine card of two strokes over elevens. Senator's Wife n-GoIfinK Mrs. Kdwln II. Vnrc, wlfo of Senator Vare, Is making real progress In tho gamo and should bo well up In tho tourney which Is to bo held at I.u I.u, her homo course, next month. Mrs. Vare has played several times at tho public course. Sho played this week at Bala ami nstontshed many of tho members by tho easo with which sho played tho dilllcult shots required. She was on nearly every green, with ono or two putts left, for pnr figures. But sho took thrco nnd four. Putting nt Lu I.u and Bala aro evidently two entirely dif ferent propositions, for Mrs Vnro simply couldn't find the hole nt Bala, Sho hits a strong ball off the tee and her iron sliott) aro ftood. Silver cups, trophies of triumphs nt tho mountnlns or tho shore will bo coming up pretty stoon from tho bottoms of trunks of the returning vacationists.

Thero Is a little psychology In the play er's being ublo to play better than his nverago gamo at tho summer resorts. At homo bis friends havo seen him nt his worst and know what to expect of him, but abroad tho player regards every one but himself ns a dub. Thero Is always a gathering of duffers and if tho Mrunger makes any kind of shots they regard him as some "mysterious champion." The player glows In tho admiration and shines.

Traveling on tho Inside of a huge bowl nt a speed of 00 miles nn hour with only n couple of wheels under you Is a beautiful thing to watch, and I shall keep on watch ing It.

To my mind, It Is more exciting than anything clso before tho public, .nml no doubt Its popularity will Increase as time goes on. America Is getting to be a speed mad nation, and tills sport now seems to satisfy tho craving. . llul I nm not thinking of entering the motorcycling gnnio any more than I nm of piloting nn aeroplane ln a typhoon or driving n rnclng automobile.

Curious About Training I was very curious about how tha men Btood up under this strenuous work inl after meeting Carman, tho winner of the v race, l questioned mm nuotit their work. I did not see bow they could rids a ran llko that twico a week without some hart training. Ho told mo thoy started to trait for thl3 race about three months before their schedule, ns this puts them up la fine shape for rnclng; but after they start tho season they only race, that Is the racet aro enough to keep them in shape- without a llttlo riding each day. If they would train In between' they would go stnlo. Tho thing worksout la tho samo way as It docs In track. I ftml that when I nm racing every week I must rest between races or I go oft condition. Tbe sport Is really fascinating. I did not realize It until I got dewn there and saw the crowd and heard their yelling u '$. tno nuers went ny, nnu sttl wilder shoutj when a man would pass Another. This U what pleased the peoplo, even though It looked dangerous nnd daring. I bollevo the wilder and more darlni tho sport tho better tho people llko It, aril If that Is tho caso they got tho right thlnj In motor races, and this sport Is golrur to bo very popular II.
