will put up a harder battle than Is ex

It will be a huge surprise among the wlso
talent. They can see nothing In Chaney's
record that can Induco them to believe that
the featherweight crown will rest on the
brow of the Baltlmorean, but It-must be
remembered that the grandoldopo occasion
ally gets shot to pieces In the best regulated
families. No one believed that the Deutsch
land could mako the return trip to Ger
many. Kllbane, on the other hand, has the con
fidence of a champion and knows that It Is
up to him to put up tho best battle of his
career or lose considerable prestige. Johnny
has been panned unmercifully since winning
the title from Abo Attell and it has been
said that ho has been picking only the soft
ones over since. Any one who has followed
Kllbane and kept close tabs on his record
knows that this charge Is foolish, but the
Dear Old Public bellovcs It and the Dear

Reynolds Picks Champion
Johnny Is training hard for tho match
and Is confident of winning. Many reports
havo trickled Into this ofllco from tho
Forest City about his training stunts,
but the best comes from Bobby lteynolds,
our own little boxer, who took a look at
Kllbano's camp a couple of days ago.
Robert takes his pen In hand and writes
ns follows:
"Visited Champ Kllbano's training camp
today and saw him take one of his usual
work-outs. He starts off by throwing the
medicine ball for Ave minutes and then
dons the cloves with his sparring partners.
Ha boxed 12 fast rounds with Henry Ker
steln, a tough lightweight. Cat Delancy,
another tough one, and Luke Qlnley, who
boxes a la Chancy style. This boy Luko
la somo battler.
"After these three four-round sessions,
Johnny skipped tho rope, shadow-boxed and
wrestled around with Jimmy Dunn for
about 10 minutes. His gym work lasts
about 50 minutes, and then there Is nothing
to do until tomorrow.
"Kllbane Is In wonderful shapo and will
win by a knockout. I only wish I had a
million dollars to bet on his chances."
A largo crowd Is expected to witness tho
struggle, and already tho adance sale has
more than made up the (16,600 purse. A
large delegation of light fans from Phila
delphia, headed' by Jimmy Dougherty, the
Baron of Lelpcrvllle, will lc.ie on a special

MORAN'S STRATEGY
CAUSES DOWNFALL
OF JIM VAUGHN
Champs' Leader Outguesses
Tinker and Cubs' South
paw Gets Lacing
MAYER TO TWIRL TODAY
By CHANDLER D. RICHTER
CHICAGO, Auk, 30. Tho value of a.
shrewd, resourceful manager -vas brought
home forcibly to ,the fana who saw the
Phillies give Jim Vaughn, Chicago's isUr
southpaw, one ot tho worst drubbings of his
major league career yesterday. With an
ordinary manager leading them, tho Phillies
probably would have been blanked by
Vaughn, who never was better than at tho
Btnrt of yesterday's game. Manager
Moran's strategy made a hard game easy
nnd he Illustrated Just why tho Phils undor
his leadership have been a successful team.
When tho game opened Vaughn had
blinding speed nnd a sharp break In his
curve ball, and what la more, ho nlso had
wonderful control. Tho Phillies usually
play a waiting game, preferring to mako
tho pitcher work to the limit, anu incy ioi
lowed out tho usual custom until two men
had been retired In the second Inning.
Then Moran saw that It would bo Impos
sible to beat Vaughn by plnylng tho waiting
gamo and suddenly switched his- tactics.
In tho first two Besstons every batter was
taking the first two strikes nnd Vaughn
with, his wonderful amount of "stuff had
them nt hlH mercy. Instead of allowing IiIb
men to contlnuo to tako strikes until they
wcro In a "hole" Moran calculated to foil
Vaughn nnd the Cubs and was aucccssful.
Switch Attack
rtlxoy started tho third Inning by hitting
tho first ball pitched to Wortman and was
retired. Paskcrt followed tho same plan,
no Vaughn was cutting the plato with his
first two pitches to ench batter, and he Bin
clcd to center. Tho first ball to Nlehoff cut
tho plato and ho laced It to right for a dou
ble, sending Pnskert to third.
If Tinker had been as shrewd n8 Moran.
or Catcher Elliott had been using his head,
ho would havo switched Vaughn nnd In
structed him to waste a ball or two to each
batter, but both failed to appreciate the
situation. Had Vaughn switched his method
of pitching tho Phils would havo been at
his mercy, as ho never had so much stuff
as ho showed yesterday. The giant south
paw continued to groovo tho first ball, how
over, and the Phils batted him to all parts
of the field. Following Nlchoft'a double In
the third, Stock slnglod to right. Cravath
sent a long sacrlflc fly to Kelly and Whltted
lined to Zeider, every man hitting the first
ball pitched.
One would think that Oils one Inning
would havo awakened Tinker and that ho
would havo instructed Vaughn to pitch dif
ferently, but the Chicago Bpeed king con
tinued to try to pitch the first ball by the
bats of the Phils. Tho result was a most
torrlflc bombardment at tho expense of
Vaughn.
Jolt Vaughn's Successor
Before Vaughn finally was taken out of
the game, the Phillies had gotten to him for
6 runs and 13 hits. Including three doubles,
and all but ono of tho safeties wero clean
hard drives. Prendergast, who replaced
Vaughn, also tried to get the first ball over
the plate to every batter, and ho was found
for two runs nnd four hits, Including a
double and a triple.
All told tho Phillies got 17 hits, and If
It had not been for some grand fielding be
hind tho two Chicago hurlers, the cham
pions probably woutd have tallied about IB
runs. It was a brilliant victory because It
was gained bo easily after Moran had
shown the way. and It nlso was a per
sonal triumph for the Phllly chief, who
clinched a victory and made what surely
would have been a hard gamo easy for
Kppa Rlxey. ,
The last game of the western trip w 1
bo played today nnd then tho team will
leave for Philadelphia, and then the all-Important
series with the league-leading
Dodgers starts on Friday. To date the Phils
have won six and lost six. a record which
does not appear to be nearly so poor as
really Is tho case.
With an even break in the luck so far as
ordinary breaks are concerned, a fair per
cent of the breaks so far as close decisions
go and even ordinary fielding by the in
field the Phillies would have a record of
ten victories and two defeates for the trip
and now would be perched Just half a game
ahead of Brooklyn.
Mayer Ib slated to work for the Phils to
day, while either Lavender or Young Nick
Carter will be Tinker's selection.

INJURY TO BARRY
"GREAT HANDICAP
TO THE RED SOX
Entire Infield Defense Is
Built Up Around Speedy
Second Baseman
OUT FOR' SIX WEEKS
By SPICK HALL
Seldom In tho history of Imsebnlt havo
the chances of a club for winning the
pennant received ouch a severe blow by
tho loss of only otic man as tho Ked Sot
nustalned when Jack Barry was put out
of tho line-up by belns hit with a pitched
boll yesterday. Tho ball that broke ono
of tho smalt bones In Harry's right hand
was a fast offerlnB by Dave Davenport
of tho St Louis Browns. Tho accident
occured In tho first Innlnfr of tho game ot
Konway Park, Boston. Barry attempted
to get out of tho path of tho ball nnd In
so doing- raised his right hand, which was
struck.
It Is a recognized fact among players In
the American League that tho Itcd Sox
have one of the strongest defenslvo teams
that ever graced tho diamond. Stuffy Jle
Innls, of tho Athletics, was speaking of this
recently and remarked ; "Vou can say what
you want about good lidding, but those
Bed Sox hove something on any club I
ever saw, Of course you can get on by
hitting tho ball safely, but that Is about tho
only way unless you get a pass, and their
pitchers aro not wild as a rule. That isn't
all. When you get on base it Is the hardest
thing In tho world to score. Thoso fellows
are simply air-tight on tho defense."
Center of Defense
Tho worst feature, from a Boston stand
point, about the Bed Sox defense Is that
it Is centered around Jack Barry. It Is
doubtful If his pUce could bo filled If
Carrlgan had a year to select a man, but to
think that it can bo dono Immediately nnd
that tho Bed Sox will be able to play Just
ns good ball on tho defense without Barry
as with him is absurd In tho extreme.
Barry covers more ground than any
second baseman In the major leagues with
tho exception of Eddie Collins. He Is tho
brains of tho Bed Sox Infield, nnd every
play that Is executed when tho Bed Sox
aro on tho defenso is engineered by the
former Athletics' shortstop.
If Barry Is able to get back In the game
by October and tho Boston club wins the
American League pennant, tho Worcester
citizen will enter his sixth world's series.
Barry played n world's series with tho
Athletics against tho Cubs In 1910, against
the Giants In 1911 and 1913 and against the
Braves In 1914. Last season It was due
largely to tho splendid fielding of Barry
that tho Phillies only took one gamo from
the Bed Sox In tho annual baseball classic
Great Record
Should Barry get Into the world's series
this year, ho will establish n record that
will probably never be equaled that Is, ho
will have played In four successive world's
scries, those of 1913, 1914, 191G nnd 1916.
All this season Barry has been putting up
tho brand of baseball that he played against
tho Phillies In the world's series. Philadel
phia fans know that Barry went Into that
series and played with all the vim and dash
of a football player. He mado stops be
hind second base and behind first and
covered the entire Held In the vicinity of
the keystone turn so well that the Phillies
had to get clean lino hits to right field be
fore they could be sure that they would ar
rive safely at first base.
Not even Tfls Speaker was missed as
much as Barry will be by the Bed Sox, be
cause, being an outfielder. Speaker didn't
leave a gap that could not be filled almost
Immediately.
