either league with such a record
Kred Merkle, the eteran who was not
good enough for the Olants nor fast enough
to remain with tho Dodgers, now Is working
for the Cubs and Is tho leading rungetter
In the league. His batting also has been
timely, though he Is only credited with a
.279. Oeorne Slsler, tho Hrowns's Hcnsation,
also Is playing a brilliant brand of ball.
In tho American League tho batters are
beginning to find that tho pitchers are
hitting mldsenson form ns eldonced by tho
many desertions from tho three-hundred
dMs'on during the week. Now only fifteen
are found In the charmed clrclo. In the
National League the players also hao felt
tho effects of better pitching, and now only
fifteen are hitting better than .300.

By PAUL W. GIHBONS
At tho conclusion of tho fl .t day's pt.y
Phllndelphla Cricket Club let ds the llrst
division of the Interclub Lea oie an a re
sult of Huntinjjdon Valley's default of all
flo matches. Tho star match of the entire
schedule, that between the Cynwd cham
pions nnd Merlon Cricket Club, which held
that honor in 1914 and 1915, was greatly
marred by tho cold and wind. When be
learned that William J. Clothier, who was
expected, waB not Rolnff to play. Captain
Hawk took Tllden out of the slnr'.es and
put him In tho doubles In nn endeaor to
tako nil fle points. This was nost wise,
as on paper tho Cynwd men were expected
to wJn all of tho singles and Brook and
13 M. Kdwardi, being ono of the ery
strongest doubles teams In the competition
were the most feared spot In Merlon'H
line-up. This It proed, for Tllden nnd
Gibbons only won tho llrst set after the
closest sort of a struggle and after being
behind all tho way, dropped tho second and
were 3-1 down In tho third Met when tho
Cynwyd pair wol.o up and ran oft (Ho
sequence games for tljo set and match
Dcsplto his having plajed only onco this
season, Wallace Johnson was in rare form
against Stanley Rogers and accounted for
this sterling player in sequence sets. It
was a treat to watch the former Interna
tionalist drop soft shots oer the net, and
when Rogers retrieved them after a tre
mendous effort to seo Johnson lob perfectly
over tho Merlon man's head for the point.
This happened repeatedly and was a large
factor In Johnson's victory.
Hawk plajed tho best tennis bo ha
shown this year In accounting for Row
land Kvans in sequence sets, 6-3, G-2, which
scores do not gle any indication of the
fine contest put up by the ex-Phlladelphla
champion.
Su.iyno showed his lack of practice in
dropping the first sot of his match to Reg
ister nlthough tho former Penn star played
unusually well. Swayne's aggravating con
sistency, however, told in tho succeeding
two sets, which tho new Cynwyd-star won
at 6-1 and 6-3.
II. B. 13ndicott was fortunate in finding
C. N. Beard off Ills game and nlthough tho
Cynwyd player won the mlddlo set it was
evident his shots were lacking In their
usual pace. This was tho ono real upset
of tho day and gavo Merlon Its ono point,
Tho Philadelphia Country Club team,
although considered strong, was not expected
to defeat Oermantown which It did, thico to
two. Craig Blddlc. tho new Florida champion.
defeated Pearson much raofo decisively than
nny ono anticipated, 6-2 nnd 6-1, Tho
Philadelphia champion has not jet hit Ills
ctrldo. Never beforo In recollection has ho
1 een defeated by such one-sided scores.
Tho Ilelfleld Country Club had a bye nnd
do not play their first match until Tuesday.
In the Becond division, the Cynwyd 2d
sprung a mild surpriso by defeating the
Merlon 2d team, 3 to 2. I3ach team won
tho points they were least expected to win.
Tho second series of mntches will bo play
ed on Tuesday when Oermantown, Phila
delphia Cricket nnd Uelfteld play Hunting
don Valley, Merlon and Philadelphia Coun
try Club, respectively, Cynwyd having a,
bye. In the second division, Oermantown
plays at Belfleld and Merlon at St Martins.
PHILS ARE GOING
LIKE HOUSE AFIRE
Nothing Ails Moran's Club,
Says Innis Brown, of
New York
CRAVATH IN GREAT FORM
Whereas a week ngo Philadelphia fans
vvero muttering an anxious query ns to
what ailed Tat Moran's Phillies, just now
tho Quakers are fairly well convinced that
nothing material alls tho troupe, says Innls
Brown, of New York. This change of nttl
tudo has been brought about largely through
tho highly elllclent work which tho Phillies
havo done In their last flvo engagements.
Briefly they havo gained flvo victories In
a row.
What Is more to the point, this string
of victories has been established at the
expense of the Olants and Braves. Six
games wero plujcd in the two series. Tho
Giants vi on tho first, nnd the Phillies
then proceeded to take the next two from
the Olants. as woll as thrco straight from
the Braves, On every dope hheet the two
opponents vanquished In this run havo
been figured front runners for tho National
League race
Tho Phillies aro encouraged by two fea
tures of play to date in their winning
streak. First nnd foremost, old Cactus
Cravath has been going llko a house afire.
Not since the old boy finally camo Into
promlnenco after ears of falluro as a big
leaguer has ho rendered more valuable
service for tho club He Is hitting at a
terrific clip now and his all-round piny has
been put to his best form
Then, too, I3rklne Mayer's work In last
Thursday h game, when ho won from tho
Braves, offers encouragement to Moran's
staff of pitchers. Last season Mayer was
a decidedly erratic proposition. Ho really
was of little service to tho club. But the
procedlng year, next to Alexander, ho was
the most valuable man on Moran's staff.
If Mayer can deliver as well as ho did In
1915 ho will form, together with Alexander,
Rlxey, Lavender nnd Oeschger, a decidedly
high-class staff for Moran.

THREE ears ngo this comlnir summer
Frcddlo Weleh nssumed charge of the
lightweight throne.
Freddlo achieved hli scepter by out-tap-plnp
Wllllo Itltrhlc, nnd since that melee no
ono linn been nblo to catch up with Freddie
nnd evict him from the top,
All through the three championship years
Welsh's tntthod has'bpcn n ery flno thing
for Welsh, but a very depressing thing for
pport. With Freddie It has been In the
main n case of merely Retting and letting
It go nt that.
Queer Spectacle
A few nights ngo ring followers were
treated to an astounding spectacle. They
sit nnd watched tho lightweight champion
rushed nnd battered around tho ring by
the fe.itherw eight title holder, who. In turn,
was cllng awny nine inluablc pounds,
Welsh nt 139 pound wns n mark nnd a
target for Kllbnne nt 130 pounds and tho
lighter, smaller man wns forced to do most
of the ruhlng nnd leading to make any sort
of a fight out of It,
Yet this Kllbanc-Welsh nffnlr nas a
aorthy example, Illustrating Welsh's ability
to remain on top,
Why Welsh Is Still Champion
This fight showed plainly enough Juit
how nnd why It Is that Welsh Is still champion
He Is stilt champion becaure ho refuses to
Indulgo In th9 slightest rlik to tako tho
slightest chanco.
In th.vt nffilr with Kllbano Welsh was
content to paw forward with his left hand
and then rush to a clinch
AIwiinh well cocrcd, he ducked to cover
at the first opening, hanging on and holding
with no unprotected spot left vacant.
For purely defensive measures this
method wns nil ery well. But It left only
ono mnn to do the fighting
"Why shouldn't Welsh play It safe?" you
may ask.
Simply for tho reason that thero Is no
credit nnd a last amount of discredit In n
bigger man having a smaller man rush and
maul him about. A champion who has nine
pounds to spare and who then makes his
lighter opponent do all the fighting Isn't
--ry much of a champion.
The proper type of lightweight champion
would hao risked his title In an open,
head-on battle before ho would have per
mitted a featherweight to do all tho fight
ing to handle all the rushing and the
leading. Welsh Is tho ono who should have
