By SANDY McNIBLICK
PtiAl'INO tho odds and calling Hie breaks
now becomes tlio favorite sport, as tho
killings show tho amateur championship of
America already to bo put on at Merlon ft
veelc from today. Local sportsmen nro
laying odds all the way from 10-1 and Up
down to one lonely bet of 2-1 that a Phlta
delphtan will finish In tho semifinal or bet
ter. Tho plot of this tale surrounds tho 2-1
let which was made In tho presence of a
small company of local golf fans today
and which was registered with no little
pomp and ceremony.
Part of tho pomp was a speech set forth
by tho bettor of tho Ilrnt pnrt, who defended
therein his, outwardly, suicidal bet,
He Is n player "In the know," and
though his namo Is withheld extracts of hla
verbal bombs at tho gnthorlng aro hero set
down :
"Tho Philadelphia golfors who will play
In tho championship have been trying out
both tho Morion courses for somo time," said
the critique, "and you can mark my words
that thoroughly knowing both tho couimos
Is going to piny a big factor In the cham
pionships. A player can't get In tho match
play unless ho qualifies, can ho?"
Locals Know Shots
"N'o," answered tho gathering positively.
"Well, then, tho cntrnnt In tho national
this year haB to know two courses thor
oughly In ordor to qualify," continued the
critique, "and he has no chanco to go out
In the nfternoon nnd correct tho mlctnkcs
he may havo mado In his first round.
"He has to go after an entirely different
course, calling for different kinds of shots.
"This Is whero tho local players will
come In.
"Thero nro a number of entrants from
Merlon who can play both tho courses In
eleso to par almost dally, nnd other local
golfers havo got thoroughly familiar
with both courses, Now If ten or a dozen
of these golfers could mnnage to squeeze
Into the match play, there Ih bound to bo
eomothlng doing for this city's rep. I
look for Fomo Philadelphia winners as tho
match play gets under way "
Today Is the last day on which entries for
the national will be ncceptcd by Howard
F. Whitney, secretary of tho United States
Golf Association.
Tho pairings will bo announced Wednes
day, according to tho recent schedule.
While no figures havo been given out as

G. O. Man Will Be Seen
Tho "rash" bettor's opinion Is shared In
a way by Walter J. Travis, Grand Old
Man of American golf, who fools that thero
Is no objection to the uso of two courses
for qualifying play, except that It gives
the local slayers an undue advantage, Ho
looks for tho usual box of surprises, and
Intimates that tho local players may spill
somo of the dope.
Speaking of Travlo, tho famoui former
British amateur champion, and several
times winner of the American tltlo, has an
nounced that ho will stick to his decision of
last year not to play In the, championship.
This will bo a cause for regret with many
locals, who had hoped to sea tho veteran In
action for another tltlo before ho lays by
his sticks, nnd tho disappointment of many
Is keen that this country's most famoUB
golf patrlaich should not be among the
entries In the first United States amateur
championship over plnycd In Philadelphia.
But tho fani will not bo entirely disap
pointed, for Travis will play at Merlon
this Saturday In tho four-ball, best-ball
matches for tho American Goltor Trophy.

M'GRAW, IS REPORT
Mitchell, of Braves, to Suc
ceed Little Napoleon With
Giants, Continues Rumor
NEW YOU1C, Aufr. 28. Boverat weeks
ago an Interview with John Mcdraw was
published In which ho stated that when
his contract with the Giants expired at
tho end of next season, ha might retire
from banoball. Since then It has been
learned that It Mcdraw really decides to
leave tho New York National League club
ho will receive, an offer from Ownor Charles
A. Comlskey, of tho Chicago Whlto Sox,
to become vlco president of tho club and
manngcr of tho tenm at a salary of $60,000
a year.
This story must bo taken for what It
la worth. It hnn been In circulation among
wlso Insiders for somo tlmo, although It
must be admitted that, an far as any ono
can learn, McQraw has not yet received
a direct proposition from Comlskey.
It will bo remembered that McUraw, at
Comlskoy'a Invitation, took a team of
Olants around tho world with the Whlto
Sox two years ago Inst wlntor. Comlskey
nnd McQraw became Intlmato friends Tho
owner of the Whlto Sox, when ho returned
home, declared that McQraw was tho smnrt
nat baseball man ho ever hnd met nnd that
he would jump at a ohnnco to plnco him
In control of tho Whlto Sox.
But Comlskey, nt that time, never
dreamed thnt Mcuraw somo uay would ne
oomo weary of managing tho Olants, Since
McGraw's xtatomctit that ho might retire
at tho end of tho 1017 campaign, however,
baseball men say thnt they havo heard
from Comlskcy's assoclntca that tho man
agement of the Whlto Sox will bo tendered
tho Little Napoleon.
In connection with tho story of Cotnls
lcoy's proposed offer to McQraw, tho In
nldoru aro circulating a report that If
McOrnw leaves tho dlants, his successor
may bo Fred Mltcholt, coach of tho lloston
Braves. Mitchell, It Is paid, han been
recommended to the ownom of tl.c New
York club, Mitchell once pitched for tho
Phillies and Brooklyn and caught for tho
Yankees when Gcorgo Stalllngs managed
them In 1910.

of the Chicago Cubs, as the successor of

When Manager Rowland, of tho Whlto

CARELESS PLAYING OP PHILS
ON PRESENT WESTERN TRIP
HAS BEEN COSTLY TO CHAMPS
Dy CHANDLER D. RICHTER
CHICACIO, Aug. 28,
TIM Phillies completed the most disas
trous week of tho season yesterday and
tho fans naturally aro wondering what Is
wronit with tho National League champions.
Manager Moran would glvo something to
have this question answered, but he at least
has an Idea nnd read the riot act to his
players on tho train last night. Moran
believes that a large percentage of the
errors made by tho champions during 'the
last week havo been duo to carelessness
nnd'Ito will not tolernto "showy" or "fancy
ball playing any more.
It Is rather odd that Davo llancroft
should be playing tho most spectacular
game at short wo ever have seen, and yet
It has been his careless bungling of ptayn In
tho pinches that cost tho Phillies two
games In Pittsburgh nnd ono In Ht. Louis,
The brilliant llttla Bhortstop nppeara to
havo been spoiled by too much pralso and
Is thinking mora of his own record than of
the team.
Other players havo disregarded Instruc
tions nt tho plato and caused well-planned
plays to bo broken up. Tho general work
of the team hns boon ragged, nnd Unless
thero Is nn Immedlato Improvement, the
Phils havo llttlo chanco to overhaul the
Dodgers and Draves. Last season the
Phllt were tho beet dofonslvc team In tho
National League, but their work during tho
last week Indicates that things have changed
In the camp ot tho National League cham
pions. In tho games played since arriving In
Pittsburgh tho Phillies havo been credited
with 18 errors by the official scores, but In
truth they havo matro three times this num
ber, Including rank errors of judgment,
such as throwing the ball to tho wrong
baso, falling to cover bases and allowing
balls to fall safo which should havo resulted
In easy outs.
Whllo we are Inclined to believe that
two games could have beon saved by tho
substitution of a relief pitcher when It wan
apparent that the hurler on the mound was
weakening, thero Is no question but that
Manager Moran has been getting tho mnxl
mum out of his team. He has been out
guessing his opponents nnd switching tho
attack In a skillful manner. Day after
day tho Phils got four, flvo or six runs,
but cither tho pitching or the Infield pro
ceeds to hand tho opposition a go mo w'llch
should have been an easy victory,
Aftor tho Phils had lost four out of five
, games to the ttrates, a Pittsburgh player
happened to get ort the same street car
with several of the Phllly player who wr
hustling for a tialn. This player aaldf "It
certainly Is tough that wo had to tako
thoso gnme?. All of our boya are pulllnr
for you fellows to win tho pennant, but
you just Insisted on beating yCurssiveV
The samo condition existed In St. Louis.
The Cards nro pulling for tho Phils to wlm
and as a result tha Phillies did not ea
after their opponents aa hard as they would
have If It had been a "riding" game. Ths
Phillies aro a team that must be aroused
to show Its best form nnd there haa been
too much good feeling among tha rival
players to arouse the fighting spirit ot
cither.
The slump of the Phillies Is about tha
best argument one could advance to prova
conclusively that honesty Is baseball'
greatest charm 'and that ball playera al
ways give the host they havo In them to
their owners. If tho game and playera wr
not absolutely on tho level, tha Phlla now
might be leading tho league. They hava
lost their games to two teams whose play
ers want them to win, but It was tho play
ers who nro strongest for tha Phils who
fought hardest In the games In St. LoUli
and Pittsburgh.
Hero In Chicago, a different condition
exists nnd the Phil will show more ginger
nnd fight. Tho Cubs are neutral so far aa
tho three leading tehms nre concerned and
Tinker's men aro fighting them all.
Tho trip has beon a bitter disappoint
ment to Manager Moran, as the Phils hava
wasted a glorious opportunity. If tha Na
tional Lcaguo champions hnd played tha
same brand of ball In Pittsburgh and BL
Louis that wnn shown on tho last homa
stand, tho team would now bo a game or
two ahead of Brooklyn. It Is possible that
tho slump came nt the right time and ths
team may como back In wonderful style,
whllo Brooklyn nnd Uoston may bo duo to
lump In September.
Long Swim for Durborow
Tha water looked so Invltln yesterday that
Chnrlrs I), Durhorow, tha endurance star, could
not resist the temptation to take n. plunge."
Accompanied by Itaymond Ctt, Uurborow dived
overboard from the Ulverton Yacht Club pier and
