IN WHITE SOX RANKS AND ROWLAND
HAS BIG TASK TO PRODUCE WINNER
Fielder Jones Seemed to Have Right Dope When
He Predicted Comiskeyites Lucky to
Finish in First Division
"NK day a couple of weeko nRo Mulilcr Junes received n fuvv lioots and n flock
-' of Jeers when ho nro.r ti icm.-irk that tho White Sox ball rlub didn't look like,
t pcnnnnt-wlnnlnK iifiRtrgntlou, nml would have n IjIr battle, ahead to finish in the
first division. This statement came like n bolt from a cleat hky, as tho Chicago
team was considered the classiest crowd on tho circuit and deemed to outshine
the others as the (ilanla did in the National. It didn't seem possible that Rowland's
hirelings could be kept out of fltst place, and Jones's relnurljs were attributed to
tho n ell-known "sour crapes."
However. ovenN of the past week havoclianRed tho map of the American League
tandlnc, and the While Sox have tumbled a few notches. They nro well below the
leaders, and tho double defeat handed them by the Ilrowns managed by Jones
hows that Kielder knew what he was talking about. At that, it Ft "tin strange
that a club like that put together by Comlskey should make a poor showing against
the other Western clubs. Tho pitchers are going good, the players are supposed
to be the best in the business, but fcomethltis W lacking In their work. Some ball
pin vers have told us that the Chicago club Is "dumb." Thc do not use their brains,
either on the offense or defense, and I' is a cinch to gtt them when they reach the
bases. Then, it was s.tld that Rowland is not handling bis litirlers properly, and
the poor work is blamed to that.
However, another thing pteents Itself.
A glance over the batting average shows that the high-salaried persons on the
Club aro not hitting. There Is only one athlete who la hitting as well as 270, and
that Is Buck Weaver, considered one of tho weakest swatters on the team. It
seems strange Unit such a condition exists with IMdtc Collins. Joe Jackson, Hap
Felsch and Hay Schatk In the batting order, but it nevertheless Is true. Collins
Is hitting 209. according to the latest figures compiled. Felsch can do no better than
.260, nnd Joe Jackson, who always is near the lop of the list, is hitting a measly
.230. There's the answer. The club Is not hitting and hits nro needed to win
Eames. The team average is 220.

-DISH JONKS Is getting to be oulte
remembered that last vear ho tlitew
by putting on a winning utte-ik late in the reason and llnishlng lti fifth place.
This jear he Is on the Job apaln nnd his work will bear watching. The best
thing done by the boss of the Hrowns Is the developing of pitchers. When lie led
the Chicago White Sox to victory in that memorable 1906 campaign bin nucccss
tvas duo to that one tiling. Itlght now he lias three hurlers who will aslst Jones

Sunday without a hit, leads the list, and Allan Sothoron, an nnheard-of-yoiith, and
Ernie Koob also belong to the gang.
Sothoron, besldej having an unbroken recoid of victories this season, has to
his credit a one-hit game, nnd Koob came through Satin day with n lone-wallop
Bklt ngainst Chicago. Davenport also Is In good foim and I'ddlo I'lank cannot be
Ehelved as yet, so it looks n?if Mr. Jones will be quite annoying before tho race Is
ever, I'ieldcr Is a shtevvd, fast-thinking general who will have to be watched
closely now that his run its me out In front.
And, In the meantime, whadve think of the I'mdinals? They seem out of
place In the first division, but any club that can make a better showing than (he
Giants Is SO.MK club. With everything against them they went out and
walloped the daylights out of the opposition and almost caused several cases of
heart failure yesterday morning when the fans nwoke to find them in first place.

Hcrzog Missed Because Giants Think They Can't Win Without Him
fTUirc absence of Buck llcrzog In the New York line-up has tinned nut to bo, a
-- very serious matter. His loss Is n severe blow to the club, but It has been
exaggerated greatly by the players. They have an idea that they can't get along
V.ithout him, anil no matter who it Is who takes his place at second base they
feel nervous and ynsteady. They evidently are In that frame of mind which
makes them play as well as they can until ho returns nnd mako up tho lost
ground when he resumes his place In the line-up.
Wo lealle that I taring is a wonderful plavor and lie Instills lots of "pep"
In the men while on the battlelleld, but it looks as if the (Hants nro carrying
things loo far. No Hub i.m win if the players pay too much attention to foolish
Ideas, of hard luck and Jlnes. The hero of the diamond is a very superstitious
person und is ready to admit at any time that the hoodoo Is his master. That
feeling plays no part in the game of winning pennants, and it is not tho spirit
With which the absence of Ilerzog should be met. It should be met with a spirit

too much faith in their own ability to knucklo down to tho hard-luck jinx or
hoodoo call It what you will.
Tho most successful battles have been won ngainst terrlblo odds, wheio tho
men fought with desperation. It happens quite, often on the football field, on tho

unbeatable team. That's the spirit which wins. One cannot depend upon
moodH nnd rpurta to win a pennant.

tho blame for tho defeat can bo laid at the door of Kalkenberg's assistants, ho
contributed his personal share by seven boots in the field. "Cy" recently was
brought back from the bushes to strengthen the pitching staff, nnd his third come

HOW TO PLAY GOLF
Ily CHARLES "niK'K" KVANS
Till: colfer's failure to obtain good pro
fessional Instruction at, the start is re
sponsible for insnv n llfo-loiiB poor Baine.
It Is true that some
of our best plavors
nre apparently s-elf-taiiRht
nnd have not
had regular profes
sional Instruction, but
It Is also true that
usuailv these players
btR.in ns cndillcs and
friquently c a d d lert
for one or the oth"r
of the principals
while lessons uori1
being given.
These cltcumstances
of course, considering
the Imaginative na
me, of the Miinll bov
were equivalent to
'he liest suit of pro
ftFslonal Instruction
To bo suie. tho small
caddie could not fol
i nu'iv i:vah
low out under the vvitchful ee of tho In
structor the lessons given, but tho pro
fessional would be surprised iculd he see
how oxactlv tho resourceful little caddie
can reproduce Ids swing
Early Instruction Necessary
Whllo the small boy learns by Imitation
the average golfer, who Is probably grown
befoio lie essays Ills first swing, must learn
consciously from instruction, nnd the
chances are that unless he Is carefully
taught In tho beginning, he will acquire
habits that may effectually prevent him
from ever becoming u good golfer He
cannot learn the correct manner of playing
the dlffeient shots from tho casual instruc
tion nf a friend whoso own form of playing
may bo poor.
We "hear a great deal about tho naturally
good swing, hut it cannot lie counted upon
Thero is always something wrong some
where and tho adult man who hopes to ac
quire n good technique at golf must, as at
any art. undergo a certain amount of pro
fisslonal tralulns. Tor that reason, a good
teacher Is Invaluable to a club He raises
the standard of play and shows us what
wo should stilvo for.
A good course and a good teacher can
start the new golfer upon tho proper road.
Some c uhs aro noted for the number of
good players In their membership. Careful
examination will show that theso clubs havo
had good courses and fine teachers.

such good links and tho sound teaching of
the Atlanta professionals is manifest In
tho game of the players who represented
their club In the national events,
Tho average man who hopes to be a

the women's
rnttrj nlot In the play
for
1 team golf championship of Philadelphia
thickens apace
The' dope at dusk today may hasten the
large climax or It may not lift the tenseness
of the situation one whit. The two great
matches on the cards for today nre those
of tho conflict between the champion Merion
team and Huntingdon Vnllcs over the
revised Noble course and the other betwixt
the Philadelphia Cricket Club and Phll
mont at Phllmont
Merlon, one might say, Is going along
most placidly on Its sunny way Tho reis-m
for this broad statement Is that so far tjio
good women of Haverford have suffered tn
defeats in fourteen straight matches. Their
percentage compilations show a detentilned
slate of 1 000. both ns to team and Individ
ual matches For the first time In tho sea
son Merlon wanders nflcld today and does
not play on its home course
Playing at home may or may not have a
lot to do with Merlon's previous easy vic
tories It probably had not a little, for
the Merlon courses are nn enigma to many
a masculine player, not to mention women
plavors It follows that the Merlon women
have an unusual advantage In playing on
The homo course Hvery team has that ad
vantage Others Too
liven Old York. Road the new- member
of the Hlg League, which was cleaned up ns
to every position by Merlon at Haverford,
gave the Philadelphia Cricket Club, runners
tip for the championship last year, the scare
of Its successful career when the baby
team nlmost won nt Jenklntown, 2 to 3.
Phllmont took over Huntingdon Valley,
a first -division favorite, on the Phllmont
course, when only the three Huntingdon
Valley leaders were able to win their
matches
The Cricket Club and H V C C. vvcro
heavy favorites In both encounters at the
tlrst tee
Huntingdon Valley easily won Its only
match this season on its own course and
Its work today may put a severe crimp in
the hopes of the league leaders.
Mrs Ronald II. Rarlow and Mm. Caleb
V. Kox. captains of the two teams meet
In a great match The records of both
Players run nlnng about tho same, with
Mrs. Harlow having tho edge Doth have
won the local championship nnd both havo
been finalists In tho national champion
ships Mrs Fox. of late, has not been getting
down to her real gamo till the fall, but to
day's match Is a good lino on what may be
expected of Mrs. Harlow, who Is a candi
date for both the Philadelphia and the na
tional championship.
The closest rivals of the Merlon team Is
tho Cricket Club,- which camo so near dis
aster In its one match of the present sea
son away from home and which hasn't us
strong a line-up as last year, when It fin
ished second dropping Its only defeat to
Merlon If the St. Martin's team can re
cover a fine victory from Phllmont on the
latter's course today, the dope has It that
all the fighting for tho championship this
year will be between Merlon nnd the Cricket
Club, which won the flag In 191C. Hut Phll
mont Is In a fine frame of mind as the result
of Its triumph over Huntingdon Valley
last week, nnd Is set to give the enemy an
enthusiastic and finished lacing.
Also All Off
Under the head of another tournament
off. It will be news to most fair golfers
that the play for tho intercity Grlscom
Cup Is off for tho year 1317
This has been unofficially announced
The play was to have been at New Ynik
this year, but the ups nnd downs of tho
various schedules has been the means of
making It seem best to cross off the Inter
section team championship. This makes
null and void nil the argument about four
somes, to be or not to be, nnd by tho time
it Is in season to hold the events ngajn
let's hope the antiquated form of play will
have been forgotten.
