PITTSBURGH FANS AND MANAGEMENT DISSATISFIED WITH WORK OF JIMMY CALLAHAN i PITTSBURGH PIRATES STAGE ONE OP GREATEST COME-BACKS IN HISTORY OP THE GAME JIMMY CALLAHAN ON VERGE OP LOSING OUT AS LEADER OP THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES " Fans Not Willing: to Wait for Manager to Develop $ New Team Want Winner ' , , Immediately ' . ACCOftDINO to persons who always have been close to President Barney Drey XX'fus.8, of tho Pittsburgh club, Jimmy Callahan Is about through as manager ef the Corsairs. Ereyfuss believes that Callahan could make good If given time, tut the Plrato fans and the Pittsburgh players demand a change. The fans havo not been patronizing tho games, asserting that Callahan should havo tho team higher In the race, whilo tho players contend that tho former White Sox leader Is not handling the team properly. That thero Is dissension In tho ranks Is well known to Pittsburgh fans. Certain players aro not at all backward about stating that they will refuse to report next spring If Callahan Is still manager. Conditions "kre very much the same as they wero with the Phillies Just before tho release of Charley Dooln and tho appointment of Pat Moran. Troubles have been multiplying for Sreyfuss and Callahan. Tho first Intima tion that all was not well within the ranks came when "Hack" Gibson, tho veteran backstop, aired his views after refusing to go to Now York at mo waiver price. Sreyfuss was oqually obstinate, and tho result was that Gibson, ono of tho greatest catohers the game has produced, has gone to his home at London, Can., after announcing his retirement. Tho following day Al Motnaux was susponded for ono week without pay for breaking training rules. Tho brilliant young hurlcr claims that ho did not break the rules and that Manager Callahan would glvo him no chance to prove that ho was In bed at 10 o'clock on tho night that he Is accused of having been on a "Joy ride" which lasted until long after daybreak. Mamaux Declares Ho Is Being Impersonated MAMAUX declared that somo ono Is Impersonating him, and that it Is not the first tlmo ho has boen lnconvenlonced by rumors of tho same kind. After being suspondod, Mamaux stated that ho would novcr pitch for tho Pirates while Callahan was handling the toom. Dan Oostello, Mamaux's chum. Immediately started trouble aftor tho young hurlor bad beent suspended, and ha also was suspended nnd probably will be sont to a minor lcaguo club. It Is said that other players havo been heavily fined when they claim that they did nothing to warrant tho punishment. Bven if tho players havo boon breaking the rules, it has been virtually proved that Callahan cannot handlo tho men and a change Is demanded. Just who will bo nppolnted manager Is not known, but Indications aro that Honus "Wagner, the grand old voteron, will bo asked to try his hand at tho managerial game. Wagner Is In very much tho same position Pat Moran was when he was appointed to Wad tho Phillies. Ho Is popular with tho players, who deelaro that they will "work their hoads off" for tho big German, whoreas thoy will not bo satisfied to havo Callahan bossing again next season. Whon Dooln was deposed as tho Philly boss, Moran was appointed becauso everal players had asked President Baker to select him. They liked him and believed that harmony and a hustling spirit could make tho team a winner, itesults have proved that the players were right, and Moran Is today tho most popular manager in tho country with his players. This Is tho keynote to his success, and Sreyfuss is said to have decided to try the samo plan. Merlon Course Calls for Slugging THE golfer with a long ball off tho tee Is going to have a big advantage at Merlon In the national championships, which start less than two weeks from today. One of tho best shots in tho bag of tho present champion, Robert A. Gardner, is his long driving, and this will bo decidedly to his advantage In warding off tho nemy. Tho course is 6420 yards long for ordinary purposes, that Is the cast course, where the matches will be played, nnd It la always lengthened for champion-, ehlp bouts of local Import. It is probable that from four to five hundred yards will be tacked on tho course in the championships. Tho west course, where tho second round of the qualifying round will be played, does not place so big a premium on long driving, and in some coses tho "home-run-hltter" may find himself in trouble by trying to wallop tho ball all tho way to the pin. Chick Evans, open champion, will have a good edge In the tournament, for ho Is capable of phenomenal dlstanco with his wood, both on the drive and in his brasslo shots. The gallery will havo amplo opportunity to witness all the dlstanco tliat Jesse Guilford, supposed to be one of the longest drivers In tho country, Is ' capable of, for he will have to let out all his steam to lead the field. The distances of the holes, in yards, at Merlon on the east course follow: 335, 613, 427, 355, 555, 420, 195, 350. 170, total out 3320, par 38. In, 385, 335, 435, 125, 407, 330, 433, 230. ' 420, total 3100, par 34. Giants Held Scoreless for 37 Consccutlvo Innings HAT has becomo of McGraw's reputed aggregation of sluggers? Where are they now? They cannot bo on the present western Jaunt, for the Giants havo been very shy of tho plate. Thoy have not scored a run since tho first round . V. 11JHHH. l.i.l. I fii.1 , ca a . . ' . . ' "' ---uutu uumo in mtuHu nut. ouiuruay, ana in inree games at Ht. .Louis havo failed to cross the counting station. Some record for u collection that boasts of Robertson, Doyle, Burns, KaufT, Herzog and Merkle. Tho Giants have played 11 games slnco leaving the Polo Grounds and have dropped 10, winning only ono, and that the first game of the double-header with the Cubs last Friday. Six of these 11 games have bean shut-outs, the Phillies, with Alexander and Demaree, holding them scoreless twice. Last Thursday Vaughn beat Bailee, 1 to 0. The Giants found their batting eyes for the first time in the double-header on Friday, winning tho first 8 to 1 and losing the second by 8 to 6. They scored again in the first inning on Saturday and were held scoreless In" tho next. 10, the Cubs winning out In the eleventh by 3-2. Slnco that first Inning not a Giant athlete has dented an alien rubber, and for 37 consecutive innings McGraw and his warriors have bean held runless. Here is the Giants' record slnco leaving New York: Phillies tooK four straight, the Cubs three out of four and the Cardinals three straight. This record should dim what pennant thoughts McGraw and his boys had entertained. i.t HERE FOR LAST TIME THIS SEASON Wo i i Par ilytic Stroke Probably Has Ended Drew'a Career HOWARD DREW, the sensational colorettSsprlntor, probably has run his last race. A stroke of paralysis which has affected his left side has forced him to cast aside tho spike shoes and running togs for all times. This will be a hard blow to the cinder path, for the colored speeder has been one of the most consistent performers of tho present. On Saturday last he participated in the far western meet at Sin Diego, and the effort resulted in the aggravation of an old Injury and the stroke followed. Drew first camo into prominence in tho spring of 1912, when he took part in tho Olympic tryouts at Cambridge, and his wonderful form there against the 'clas siest competition in the East brought Ubout his selection as a member of tho Olyroplo team. At the time Drew was a student at tho Springfield High School and was working under the doublo handicap of supporting a wife and cljlld and endeavoring to gain an education. Hard luck has pursued this ebony-hued athlete, and after winning his heat at Stockholm in the 100 meters he pulled a tendon in his next start and was out of competition during the games. After his return to this country he was Induced to enter the University of Southern California, and, while performing for the Institu tion, along" with Freddy Kelly and a few more of the coast phenoms, be has col leoted honors aplenty for himself and his college. Drew came East twice, wearing the colors of the California Institution, to compete in the Pennsylvania relays, and on both occasions romped away with tho hundred-yard dash. He has taken part in many Indoor meets in the East during the lasj year, and It was in ono of those he received the injury which probably has brought about his end. While running in an indoor meet in New York last winter Drew injured his back and was taken from the track,. Since that tlmo he has not been very active, but trained hard to gain something like his past form for the big meet which was held at San Diego, the most Important outdoor competition on tho coast. Drew was suffering from a dislocated vertebrae, and In his supreme- effort to come back at San Diego he wrenched hla back and the nerve was paralyted. Drew holds the record of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash and has been clicked In 9 4-5 often. He has negotiated the 220 yards in 21 1-5, equaling the mark held Jointly by Ralph Craig, Don Lipplncott and Barney Vefers. f Since Bill Rumler has passed oat of the league and Joined the St, Louis Browns, Frank Thrasher, recently signed by Connie Mack, has taken the lead In the South' rn Association batting race. Thrasher, the Atlanta slugger, passed Jacobson, the farmer Detroit utility man, and now paves the way with a mark of .334. Borne one remarked that Pat Moran'a pitchers seem1 to be slipping- badly. Not exactly slipping. Several of them simply had their props brutally knocked from tinder them. But they'll get up again. Worry not,, little one. 1' rels A''ml S rfJ&, 3 KMM P- Fm& SSSStK MJiF ;;"i CgfTBjiii'i T I lW t? S& f I ' 4K TitTTSBtmail, Pa., Aug. 23. Baseball's JL greatest charm Is Its uncertainty. The poor team really Is never beaten If It has the right spirit,' and It always has been said that one can never tell Just what will happen In a ball game. Somo things In baseball aro looked upon as cinches, but there Is no such a thing In the national pastimo, ns was proved conclusively when tho Pirates spilled tho Phillies yesterday after the National League champions had gotten a 7-to-0 lead. Tho Pirates aro about as weak as any team In either major league on form, and the dopo pointed to an easy time for the Phillies In tho series, but tho uncertainty of tho gome has asserted Itself throughout tho scries and Callahan's misfits won three out of the first four games played. Umpiring Poor No doubt the poor work of the umpires had something to do with tho double defeat of the Phils on Monday, but at the same tlmo If there was such a thing as ff cinch In GIANTS' INCONSISTENCY THIS SEASON WILL BE HELD AS ONE OP MAIN MYSTERIES OF GAME After Losing 13 Out of 15, Team Won 19 of Next 21, Then Slumped, Revived and Now Is Slumping Again By GRANTLAND KICE Diogenes Up-to-Dato Diogenes dwelt in a tub, so ancient stories soy. XVhlch ahowa that flats remain unchanged from that old Grecian tlajt And day and night with lantern light he wandered up and down, Patrolling all the avenues whtoh twitted through the town. Xa each citlxen passed by Diogenes mould throw Hla lantern light upon each face and sigh in abject woe And through the throng he'd move along continuing his aearoh. J. vain and most unhappy one that left ftlm In the lurch. The native marveled at hts Jot, which left them all at sea, They wondered what the object was and what hts graft could be , "Oh, tell us, please, Diogenes, at last each passer cried, "What are you hunting for, old dogV and straightway he replied: "I'm hunting for a southpaw who Is good as Eddie Plank j I'm hunting for a poet who has money in the bank; Vm hunting for a college kid that hasn't signed with ilack I'm hunting for a Yankee star without a broken back. I'm hunting for a pitcher who is keen on faoing Ty I'm hunting for a beaten club without an alibi, I'm looking for a ball club that can ham mer out a score Each time it faces Leonard, Ruth, or Foe ter. Hays or Shore." Tho Mystery of the Gianta TJIB GIANTS of 1916 always will be held as one of the main mysteries of the game. There never has been another ball club In memory that maintained Its existence so far beyond the dope. First, It loses 18 out of 16. Then the same club wins 19 out of 21. Then comes another big drop. Then comes a rally that yields seven out of nine, then a slump that leaves but two out of eight At this point Buck Herzog and Sheriff Salle are added. Now, exclaims the mul titude, the machine is rounded out at last. As a starter It wins 13 out of 16 games at home. "Nothing to It, now," exclaims the Giant fan. And then Wowtel Kazunkl another losr string of defeats comes on apace and the pennant aspect for the year la officially discarded. The Reason) "A bum bSl club," you interject.

But vhen he playB you might watch where tho bulk of the gallery congregates. Messrs. Johnston, Williams, Church, Orlffln. Murray and the others are all great tennis players, fine sportsmen and estima ble young men. But the most popular sporting achievement of the year would be an overwhelming triumph on the Dart of certain California tennis player christened by Charley Van Loan as Erlo the lied. As to why eo many still are pulling lustily for McLoughlln no one who saw the Comet roll back Brookes and Wilding in succession very well could pull any other way, , Gv W K? IV 0rWL .!H. wBKts rS M'vr''riiL By fcllANDLER D. RICHTER baseball, tho champions' superiority In all departments would have overcomo this han dicap. It did not and there was llttlo dif ference In tho brand of ball played by the two teams, and certainly thero was no ele mont of luck attached to the most remark ablo victory of tho Pirates yesterday. A gambling man would havo placed the odds at 60,000 to 1 that the Phillies would win yesterday's game when the Pirates went to bat In the fifth Inning, nnd he would havo found no takers unless tho party risk ing the lone dollar had ho Idea of tho value of money. Tho score stood stood 7 to 0 In favor of tho Phillies when Fischer stepped to the plate In this Inning and "Chief" Bender had been pitching as of yore. Half of tho crowd of 6000 fans, who attended tho double-bill had left the park thoroughly disgusted with the mlserablo work of Cal lahan's team a fid tho manner In which tho Phils had outclassed them.

' """ " ihko caro of itsi ' Fischer Guilty Fischer, who opened the Inntng with a bunt and eventually scored, felt Just as every ono In tho park and strapped his shlnguard on ready to tako his placo behind tho bat Ho did not' think that thero was a chance for him to bat again In that Inning and If any one had told him that ho and four of his teammates would step to tho piato twice In nn inning, tho Pitts burgh catcher probably would have recom mended the Individual to an alienist But that Is exactly what happened, as the Phils look back upon It today they can seo at least a dozen different ways that tho Pirates could have been retired, but tho fact remains that they wero not and for a brief spelt It began to look as If they never would get out When ono looks back over tho dally box scores and sees the number of small scoro games ho must wonder how such a phenom enon occurred. Beforo Bender and McQuil lan could retire tho side Pittsburgh had tal lied nlno runs and was leading tho Phils. Oddly enough tho gamo ended 9 to 7, as the Pirates Immediately fell back to their natural gait after this one spasm. It was one of the most remarkable rallcs In the history of the gamo, nnd wo have seen only two moro compared with It This Is Another One occurred back In tho latter nineties whon tho samo Pirates, only with a vastly superior team, made seven runs on tho Phillies In tho ninth Inning and took a 13 to 7 lead, only to havo the Phillies come back with seven moro runs beforo a man had beon retired, winning 14 to 13. The other contest took placo In Philly In 1913 whon Brooklyn made nlno runs In tho first Inning and did not scoro for the re mainder of tho game. Thoy led by the ccoro of 9 to 2 at tho start of tho sevonth Inning, but when the eighth had been com pleted the Phillies were lending 12 to 9, two unusual Innings completely changing tho game.
