DODGERS ARE TEAM PHILS
MUST DEFEAT TO CAPTURE
NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT
Brooklyn Club Shows Return to Form by Win
J ning Two Games From Braves Comment
on Other Sports
TUB double victory of thp Dodgem over tho Droves and tho defeat of the
Phillies lit the hsnds of tho Giants put a different complexion on trm National
league race. The crippled condition, Inck of ftlnger and ceneral breakdown of
Htalltngs's team, which was proved conclusively In the eerie with tho rtilllles,
make It apparent that Brooklyn, despite Ita flvo consecutive defeats at the hands
trf the Phillies, Is the team that the champions must beat to win the pennant.
While we do not think that the defeat of Alexander should alarm Philadelphia
fans any, a glanco at tho schedulo show.! that the Dodgers have all the beat of It
Brooklyn has played two more names than the Phillies, and therefore has not so
many double-headers, while It tlso shows that the Dodgers will be as they havo
nil year benefited by tho fact that they Invariably havo played teams that havo
jut finished a series with tho Phillies.
Naturally every team Is putting forth every effort to defeat the champions
and the Phillies Invariably face tho star pitchers of the opposing staff. If the
Phillies are going good, they "shoot the opposing pitching staff to pieces," as
Moran expresses It, whereas It a successful series Is waged against the Phillies,
a. rival manager who has a series scheduled with the Dodgers, following tho com
bat with the Phillies, tho pitching staff Is given a rest. This means that Brooklyn
has all the best of It according to tho schedule. Moran is not worrying, however,
as he feels certain that' Ms team will Improve In tho stretch while Brooklyn Is
just about through.
Had Moran been ablo to foresee the accident to Hughes, who suffered a broken
hand In the final game between tho Phils ahd Braves, an accident which will keep
him out t the gamo for the rest of tho seaseon, he would have taken a chance
on a second-string pitcher In the second gamo of tho doublo-headcr In order to save
Mayer for one of today's games against tho Giants.
Giants Display Moro Fighting Spirit Against Phils
PAPEIl, and for real batting strength, tho Giants aro a more powerful
aggregation than either the Dodgers or Braves, and good pitching Is needed.
The fans will recall that just eight years ago the Phillies put tho Giants out of
the National League race by winning six out of the last eight games played against
McGraw'a team, and tho Now York pilot never has forgotten It. The Giants yes
terday showed more fighting spirit and ginger against the champions than the
Braves and Dodgers did, and will strain every point to retaliate for tho upset
In 1908.
Ordinarily at this time a manager Is starting to play percentage ball. He
Invariably Is figuring on how many games he needs to clinch the pennant, but
. with only two points separating tho leading teams It Is Impossible. Moran plans
to play percentage ball, so far as working his pitchers 1b concerned, but admits
that the failure of the Braves to offer strenuous opposition to the Dodgers makes
It Imperative that the Phils win at least two-thirds of their games. This Is a
much speedier clip than any National League team has traveled In several sea
sons, so It Is not hard to see that the Phils havo quito a task bofore them.
The fans may be alarmed at what pparently is tho come-back of tho Dodgers,'
but there Is little causo for worry. The best National League club, asldo from tho
Phillies, Is tho Giants, And the Phillies havo only throo moro games, Including to
day's double-header, with McGraw's team, whtlo Brooklyn has six contests to play
with the Giants, and tho Braves havo five
While Brooklyn wlU bo benefited by playing thrco Western t.ams after they
have met th Phillies, Moron's team is In such condition there Is little cause to
worry. Brooklyn may go out in front at tho expense ,of the demoralized Braves,
, but the Phillies aro better equipped for tho drive, and If Moran follows out his
plan of working the pitchers on percentago tho Phils should breozo home.
Record Established for Small Crowd at Gamo
TlfE Athletics have not only lost more than one hundred baseball games this
season, but they havo established another record which may never be broken.
There were not more than twenty-flvo paid admissions yesterday to see tho New
York Yankees clash with the Mackmen in a contest which had been officially
postponed at 2 o'clock In tho afternoon cm account of rain. The whok) trouble
was that the game would havo been canceled If It had not been played yesterday.
Naturally, BUI Donovan wants to finish ns high In tho race as possible, all of
which he told Connie Mack. But BUI was figuring on winning tho game, 'not
losing It As It turned out, tho Athletics managed to And tho visiting pitchers
eary and lato and .easy. They pummeled and pounded them from one end of
Shlbe Pork to the other, untjl they had piled up eight runs through the medium
of fourteen hits which totaled twenty-six bases.' Finally, In the eighth inning,
Donovan saw that thero was no chance for him to win, so he took a turn In the
box, and this was one of tho few times ho has pitched In a major leaguo gamo
since ha used to hurl for Hugh Jennings's Detroit Tigers back in the days of yore,
as It were.
One of the bright feature; of yesterday's play at tho local field was tho ex
hibition of battling spirit Bhown by the Athletics. They have demonstrated on a
number of occasions that when the gamo Is closo and they are behind they
are able to continue playing to tho best of their ability. Bo they did yesterday,
when they were winning rather easily. Ordinarily a band of youths such as
Mack now has is prone to take things as a Joke when they are winning or losing
by a big margin. But the A's'dld not do this. They continued to play tho game
Just as If the New York club was on their heels. Tluit Is tho way to develop a
baseball club, and Connie Mack should receive the congratulations of the fans for
making his men continue to play'good ball regardless of tho score.
Detroit Has Great Chance to Land Again
TY COBB Is helping the Tigers climb up on the Boston Hcd Sox by his brilliant
Individual work. It may be that the other members of the Detroit team will
be able to give Ty enough assistance to win tho pennant again for the fans of the
Michigan metropolis. Hugh Jennings has not yet made the prediction that ho
will win the pennant. He is too busy figuring on tho winning of each day's game
to look that far ahead; but It Is evident from the fine showing the Tigers have
been making during the last few weeks that If the Detroit club does not take the
gonfalon for 1916 It will die fighting, and will be berften because the other club
Is better and not because they have been outgamed, as have the St. Louts Browns.
This morning Detroit was only one and a half games behind the Red Sox.
Detroit has a long homo stay, while the lied Sox have to hit the toughest clubs
of the American League on their swing around the western end of tho circuit.
This fact Is the thing on which tho Detroit fans ore depending to win them a
pennant, They believe, and with perfect Justification, that the Tigers ought to be
able to win more-games at home than the Red Sox on the road.
Detroit has not been In better shape this year than it is at the present time,
while the Red Sox, as every one knows, aro greatly weakened by the absence of
Jack Barry at second base.t Tho Tigers' pitching all season has been below that
of most of the other clubs of tho American League, but at present all of the
hurlers are going at a fast clip, which Indicates that the old pennant is very apt
' to be floating from the flagpole at Navln Field about this tlmo next season.
The Long Hitter Outhlt in Golf Jlstch
JK8BE GUILFORD, New England champion, camo.to this city touted as the
longest driver In the world. Ho has shown some remarkable drives In our
mUst since 'he has been here, but he has not shown his longest carries, for the
r.reasoa that a full wallop on most of the holes would get htm Into trouble, Gull
fai Is a wild, driver and needs all thq room In the world to put his efforts safe.
At Merlon there was no chance at all for him to take liberties with his tee shots.
Yawning traps sighed or him to let his full strength Into his shots. He was
afmM to take a chance. Thus the gallery that followed his play was slightly dls
appointed. They expected to see him drive them on to every green.
Me was something like a sideshow. "Come to Merlon and see Jesse Guilford.
K Mes 'eta a mile," the barker would have bawled.
put Oullford was after the proudest honors of the American links, and he
preferred to let (be crowd go away disappointed rather than to Jeopardize his
efeaitoM at the title by tangents from the tee that would come to rest in neigh-
fcMliiji cornfields and not down the alley, which lost section of the course was
more neiptui iwui mo urui.
UassrtuMtely, the rain yesterday prevented a lot of people from witnessing
tgki inuater oteamplotuhlps held at Newark. However, those In charge of the affair

ALEX TODAY SOLE SUCCESSOR
, TO MATHEWSON, SAYS -RICE;
TRAVIS LAUDS BOBBY JONES
Moran's Great Twirler
Should Be at Best if
Phils Get Into World
Series
Youthful Southern Phe
nom Is One of Coun
try's Great Golfers,
Says Veteran
IF THE Phillies re-enter the world scries
realm this fallawe have a cerise tinted
hunch thnt noncombatants will see nn en
tirely different Alexander at work.
Those who desire to can say what tlicy
like about It, but nig Alex was far from
being at his best against tho Red Sox last
fnll. He was not nearly as good as he was
through the summer of 1915 and not nearly
as good as ho has been this year.
Alexander today Is tho greatest pitcher
In baseball, the sole successor to Christy
Mathewson. It would be a tough break
to have his world series career end with
tho showing he made last fall. He has
far better stuff to offer, as the American
league pennant winner of 1918 may soon
find out l
At tho beginning of August Cobb was
thirty-eight points back of Speaker. On the
1st of September Cobb was twelw points
back of Speaker. Trls may still finish on
top, but not If this decline Is maintained
very much longer. I In August we thought
Speaker had something closely akin to a
romp. Isow wo bellevo Cobb will finish
on top for his ten-year span, after which
he will be entitled to a vacation for the
summer of 1917. Dut the odds are that
Ty will be Just as keen to make it eleven
years in a row aB ho Is now to make it ten.
"Under the Head of Pleasure"
The duffer stooped" to fne bunker' depths
With Ala niblfofc (ii his hand;
And thot by shot he pounded away
And scattered the flying sand;
And (hot by thot he rapped away
'At hit trusty niblick rang.
At he piled up stroke by stroke,
This is the tong he sang
"Oh, a golfer's Hie is a merry one,
A merry one and swell;
I'm having as fine a time today
Asiflwerelnhell;
I'm having as fine a time today
As if my blighted soul
Were roasting on a griddle bar
In old Doo Pluto's hole."
The duffer stepped to the seventh tee
And swung with a mighty smash.
And topped his thot to a nearby pond
Where the ball tank with a splash;
And as the pill sank out of sight
Beneath the purling tide,
lie yanked his hair out with his hands'
As cheerily he cried
"Oh, the gdlfer's life is a happy one,
Carefree, without a wrench;
I'm having at fine a time today
As the soldiers in a trench;
I'm having as fine a time today
At the noble game of golf.
As I toould have in some wounded ward
Having an arm cut off,"
Freddie Welih may be going back, but
apparently there Is no onvxettlng a stone
bruise on his heel coming forward.
No Longer One King
Tennis, like golf, in these Uniting States
no longer knows any one king. In 1915
Johnston beat "Williams. In 1916 Williams
beats Johnston. And in 1916 Orlltln beat
Williams, only to be beaten In turn by the
champion. r ,
There are now four or five tennis players
who are close upon a parity. Williams,
Johnston, Church, Mclxmghlln and. Murray
are within a short step of one another and
by another year or two we will have two
or three of these youngsters coming on to
crowd their way In, There was a time
when every American kid played baseball.
Most of them are still playing the old gime.
But Increasing numbers are now turning to
tennis and golf, and when the world finally
becomes readjusted under peaceful condi
tlons the IT. a. A.' will be more than ready
to. take Its place far In front of the field.
In most games the age limits for first
class play run between twenty and thirty
five. In golf they extend from fourteen to
sixty-five, as Uob Jones, Terry Adair. Com
modore Heard and deorge I.yon have
already. proved.

One Reason Why the
Phils Should Triumph
NC of the moot striking features of tie
recent nmatcur championship was tho
keen Interest that Walter J. Travis, the
grand old man, took In tho play of young
Hobby Jones, the kid wonder from Georgia.
No two careers could have been wider
apart Travis started Ills golf vhin he was
thirty-five years old. Young Jones started
to play when he was seven. Travis Just
had reached the finish of his tournament
play with a wonderful record behind him.
Jones, at tho age of 14, was Just beginning
his tournament career with a wonderful
future on beyond, and the veteran was pull
ing harder for the kid than any other man
In the big gallery.
"Here comes one of the great golfers of
tho country," remarked Mr. Trnv's. "for
he has the three vital things that go to make
up a championship success:
"Fir lit. Skill In plnj-lnr every uliot.
"HeconJ. A firm, uro punch that doesn't
narrr.
"Third. A mixture of llonAearted de
termination and coolneaa m!er Itre.
"Now, we have had young golfers before
with one or possibly two of (heso essentials,
nut we never have had one who no well
combined all three, with the exception of
Travors and Oulmet, and you may recall
what careers' they have known. Dut this
kid at fourteen has everything either of
these had at twenty, so he has that much
of a start, and it la hard to see how he can
keep from taklng his place as one of the
greatest golfers America ever has devel
oped. He Is undoubtedly the greatest player
for his years tho game has ever known."
Jones's Firmness
The one leading feature of Jones's game
that impressed th veteran more than any
thing else was the. great firmness with
which lie played all his shots and made all
his putts when under fire. The tendency
here, when one is apparently up against It,
Is to play short. But young Jones always
gave nis dsii a cnance, ami It was a rare
occasion when he struck with any weak
puncn.
Only an entry with steady nerves and
fine control of his muscular and nervous
system can continue to play firmly against
the test. This firmness, decisive punch with
every shot, was always the feature of the
play of Travis, Travers and Oulmet. Their
determination rarely was broken.
The fact that young Jones can play all
his shots well would be no Indication that he
oer would reach championship height. But
the fact that with this ability he also car
ries a wonderful determination and cool
ness should make for a future career that
only tho very few have known.
A sound game and a sound heart' with
iron nerve, will go very far, and it would
be only the most cruel of all fates that
would bar the way.
No Good Putters
There was one feature of this recent
championship that was notable. In the ab
sence of Travis, Travers and Oulmet there
was not a sure, consistent putter left no
one to every approach the wizardry of the
old Big Three, who ruled the putting green
when they were on ttie jot. There was no
one with the sure, even touch of this trio,
lor me otners, wimoui any exception, con
stantly were bothered and harassed about
their ability to get down In two unless they
were close to the pin.
Very few attempt to make putting a sci
ence. 'The main trouble," says Walter
Travis, "Is that most golfers make putting
a hit or miss art. Even when they practice
on the greens they do so In haphazard
fashion, without attempting the develop
ment of a sane, natural system.
"There Is no particular stand to take for
a putt and no particular grip. Ease and
naturalness should be first sought After
this but two things follow to get the right
line ana men nu ine can wiin proper con
centration upon the distance to be. traveled,
Of all the bad shots played in the recent
championship there were far more shots
wasted on the green tban anywhere risk.

Value of Short Game ' ,
These figures alone show the value of the
Bhort gamo and tho terrldc handicap one is
under who begins to fritter away shot
around tho cup. Young Jones has n line
chanco to follow In tho putting wako of
Travis and Travers, for while he Is still far
back of those two on the greens, he has a
good eye, a keen touch and the name deter
mination to give the ball a chance.
It was a notable fact that most of tho
trouble he had nt Merlon was In being too
far oer nnd not too far short. He rarely
left his1 ball on the short side of the cup,
and this Indicates the making of a fine short
game.
On the other hand, we saw six matchci
that were lost because fairly -short putts
at vital moments were cither one or two
inches short or hung on'the Up of the cup,
not having been struck with proper vitality
or virility or decisiveness, ns you may care
to call it. To be a good putter, one. In ad
dition to the touch, must have In him tho
aggressiveness to go always for the back
of the hole. For the general drift always
is to go short.
