. 8! PHILLIES VIRTUALLY PUT THE
DODGERS OUT OP RUNNING
BY FIVE STRAIGHT WINS
'
Champions Are in Fine Shape to Tackle Boston
: , Braves in Titanic Series Moran's Pitchers
. . J Show Up to Great Advantage
WHEN tho last Brooklyn battor had been retired In tho nfternoon gnmo of
yesterday's donbto-hcadcr between tho Phillies nnd Dodgers, Pat Mornn's
fighting champions hnd eliminated a nonnnnt contender which was considered a
certain winner two weeks agb, Slnco that time Brooklyn skidded rapidly, but so
Old Iho Phillies, thereby lonlnc nn excellent opportunity to pick tip it few games
on tho Dodgers. In tho meantime Boston was winning Hteadlly nnd crnwlcd up
on the Dodgers, but tho I'hlllles were considered nlsornni. Today Brooklyn may
bo considered In the also-ran clas.
Tho loss of tho five games only enabled the Phillies to crawl tip on even terms
'Willi the Dodgers, but tho moral effect of tho loss of flvo consecutive games In
this city and the manner In which the pitching staff was crippled through tho
lugging of tho Phils and Manager Robinson's faulty Judgment probably will
wean tho elimination of Brooklyn, after It had held tho load for four months.
HoblnRon'a flvo star hurlers wero batted from tlfo mound In flvo games nnd
two of them nufrerod this fato twice. 13 very pitcher on tho Brooklyn staff, 10
In all, opposed the Phils, and barring Coombi, who gave Alexander a hard battlo
In tho first gamo of tho sorlca, nnd Molls, who pitched only one Inning, nil wore
batted hard nnd timely by the Phillies.
Chenoy, PfofTer and Smith, thrco hurlers who must bo In great shape for
Brooklyn to figuro seriously from now until the close of tho season, wero handled
eo poorly during tho series that they probably will bo two wco'ka getting back In
their Btrldo, which will put tho pitching burden upon Coombs nnd Marqunrd,
two veterans who are not capablo of going to tho mound more than onco a week
and Btlll show good form. Tho Brooklyn staff Is wrecked, and a team that plays
Bo Httlo Inside ball Is likely to skid rapidly.
Phillies In Shnpo for Boston Scries
ON TIIE3 other hand, the Phillies nro In wonderful shape for tho hard series with
Boston nnd Now Yojlc. In tho five games Moran railed upon n relief pitcher
only once, and thnt was when Alexander tho Great was brought Into the gamo to
pitch to one batter. Tho Phillies used four twlrlers to win the flvo games,
Rlxoy alono pitching two games.
Tho lanky Virginia southpaw had tho Dodgers nt his morcy In both games,
and thanks to tho slugging of tho Phillies and mlsplaylng by Brooklyn, worked
eo little In tho final gamo of tho scries that ho will bo uvallablo for duty again
on Wednesday. Tho Phllly pitching staff Is In grand nhapo; tho team has Btartcd
slugging, while tho defenso In tho Brooklyn scries was wonderful. In other wordi,
It looks very much as It tho Phillies hnd started to spurt, Just as they did at this
tlmo a year ngo.
Ono of tho most oncouraglng features about yesterday's victories wob Krnklno
Mayer's splendid pitching. Mayer now has pitched four fine games In succession
nnd apparently la going to bo ono of Moran'a bulwarks In tho final drive. It
was believed that Moran would linvo to placo tho ontlro burden upon Alexander
tho Great nnd Kppa Itlxey, with Al Domareo aiding In doubleheodors, but tho
games against tho Dodgers proved conclusively thnt both Domareo and Mayer nro
capable of holding up tholr end. Tho Phils, therefore, liavo four dependable
pltchors for the spurt, which Is more than Stalllngs and Hobluson havo after tho
hard week.
Another feature of tho scries was tho superior generalship shown by Mnnnger
Moran. Brooklyn got almost as many hits ns the Phillies during tho series,
but wero nblo to score only flvo runs In tho flvo gamo, whllo tho Phillies tallied
25. Tho afternoon game yestorday was a striking cxamplo of the wny tho Phillies
mako their hits count nnd take advantage of tho opposing team's mliplays. Tho
Phillies got 10 runs from 11 hits, while Brooklyn got only thrco runs from 10 hits.
Philadelphia Fans Baseball Mad
PHILADELPHIA'S sport lovers are more wildly enthusiastic about baseball at
tho present tlmo than they were In 1910 when the unknown Athletics waded
through a strong field In tho American League, then bent tho famous Cub muchino
With ridiculous caso In tho world's series. Whllo the fans havo been nroused
since that time by famous Mack triumphs and tho pennant-winning Phillies last
season, tho In tores t was greater In 1910 than In any year In tho history of tho
game until this season.
Tho wonderful come-back and superb fighting spirit of tho Phillies Ji
,xcsporislblo for tho city becoming "baseball mad." If tho Phillies had taken tho
lead ut.tho stnrt of tho season and held it, or hnd been on even terms with tho
Dodgers when tho series started, tho fans would not havo enthused so much, but
every sport lover likes to see a team come from behind and perform somo e
markablo feat. They had confidenco In tho Phillies. They knew Moron's team
always arises to an emergency, and believed they had a fighting chance.
i
BASEBALL fans delight In watching a lighting team, and they surely wero
not disappointed In tho past series. No team ever played more brilliant ball
In a crisis than tho Phils did, nnd tho fans who wero fortunate enough to seo tho
whole series aro unanimous In tho opinion that It was n scries that surpassed any
world's series over contested In this cty.
Tho remarkable attendance at yesterday's games, particularly at tho morning
- contest, was a trlbuto to the popularity of baseball. There wero many holiday
counter-attractions, but tho city did not Beem to know that thero was nuythlng
'golpg on but baseball. The morning game crowd was tho largest thut has ever
, attended game In tho Phllly park nnd also was larger than any at any morning
game ever played In this city. Thousands of fans wero turned away at both
games, and tho majority of those who nttended tho morning gnmo remained out
side waiting for tho gates to open. Altogether It was a wonderful day.
The Detroit Tigers made a big advance In their fight for tho flag In the
American League when thoy trounced tho Cleveland club twice, while the best
tho Bed Sox could do was to win one gamo. This put Jennings's men within
ono full gamo of their New England rivals. Although Janvrln la playing n good
game at second base, tho Boston club is missing Jack Barry to the fullest extent.
However, If the Bed Sox pitchers do work ns well ao thoy havo been doing,
Detroit will have to mako a grandstand finish to capture tho flag,
i ...
Philadelphia tennis fans wero very much encouraged at tho showing made by
XL Norrls Williams, 2d, against Clarence Grlflln. Williams showed all the dash
and speed that ho exhibited two years ago when ho captured the national title
'from Maurice McLoughltn. Williams's servlco had the old-tlmo sting which mado
him one of tho leaders In American lawn tennis for the last few years.
. .
THRCI3 boxing champions placed their titles In Jeopardy in Labor Day matches
and (bell respe;llve crowns lay at rest today. Johnny KUbano brushed George
Chaney enxtiv: out. pf his path and' stands without a worthy contender for his
"American featftenreight laurels by knocking out tho Baltlmoro southpaw In tho
thlrdyound t Cedar Point. Lightweight Champion Fred Welsh got Referee Billy
Roche's, decision on points in a 20-round bout against Charley White, and Kid
Williams, the bantam kingpin, easily outclassed Frankle Brown In 10 rounds ut
Baltimore.
. For the first time In 33 years the Phillies' pobs Bate was closed yesterday.
. The reason was, not that there wero bo rflany passholders, but the crowd, weeing
abat this sate was the only one open, attempted to storm It. The police tried to
stop the rush and tteep a path clear to the gate, but found it Impossible, to do bo.
1 The only alternative was to close the gate.
,
. j- Frankla Brown's showing against Kid Williams In Baltimore yesterday In-.
dlcates that thero are onlyia lew In this country who can give the latter a battle'
-worth while. Brown went into the fight extensively advertised, but he did not
live up to his press-agentlngr. ,
Between the big fights, yesterday and the double victory of the Phillies, every,
body overlooked the Athletics but Washington. The Senators, however, Btuck to
Mhe Job and nonaged, to squeeze out a couple from MacU's caudal enders.

Atlantic Motor Oils are to correct lubrication
what Atlantic Gasoline, tho accepted standard,
Is to correct fuel. In eilher gas or oil, you
can't go wrong on "Atlantic."
Drain your crank-case, wash It out with
a little Rayolight Oil, put in a fresh supply of
pure, honey-clear Atlantic Motor Oil. You'll
havo fewer bills for repairs and be glad you
took the advice of oil experts.
