IP customary to wish a lew nickname! on ball placrs or nny nthlcto who la
the public eye. as a mark of respect.
Graw, Dodo Paskort, Connie Mack nntl hundreds of others, but It will tako a long
time to And a better assortment of name1! than those wished on our own Charles
C Cravath. Some of them arc ery original and ex en cannot be found In the.
dictionary. We all know Cravath as "Gavy." and mi anxious fan ha! written us
to find out what It means and Imw be happened to cot It A Blanco through Mr.
Webster's largest dictionary falls to reveal anything that even looks llko that
Word. The closest tliliic to It Is "gnvlnl," which It the name of an Indian crocodile,
but wo couldn't go so far as to call Charles by that tunic Then wo had nn Idea
that the nickname came from "gnbby" and was switched around by some careless
printer so often that It stuck This seemed to be the answer until we Intorv lowed
Mr. Cravath and obtained the real dope.
"Thiu-o is no doubt about that 'Gavvy' stuff." said Charles. "1 liavo had that
tilckname.fi! long as I can remember, and It didn't come to mo becauso I talk so
much, either When I wa! a kid out on the coast I played baseball every ehaneo
I got and soon became known In the Rmall towns near my homo I lived In a
place called Givlot.i Cal , and the ball club had the same name. One day 1 plajed
with another team and a spectator who recognized me shouted. "There's one of
the Gavvles.' Throughout that game they called me Gavvy, and It has stuck to
Bio ever since. I picked up some more polite names on tho coast, but 'Coitus'
(till Is with me Charlie Van Loan slipped mo that ono because. I used to remark
about his size and rotund figure Another one, which Is suggestive of my speed. Is
'Wooden Shoos ' Some guy wished that on mo when I wag playing with tho Iloston
Americans, "rerhaps I will get a few moro before I quit the game and they will
bo welcome to my collection."
t
GAVVY wears his honors becomingly He carries his flock of names
without any trouble. He is hitting tho ball better than ever before and
threatens to become ono of tho leading swatters In tho league Thus far
he has had five home runs and the official averages up to Wednesday night
give him 33" That's prettv good for this time of the jear.
Cravath Was Ready to Quit Last Year and Go to the Bushes
GAVVY wa! not regarded as a regular when he reported for spring training this
year He batted 283 In 131C, but his fielding was not up to the standard and it
Was believed that he had seen his best days It was decided, however, to keep him
as a pinch hitter and allow him to warm thv bench most of tho time But when
Fat Moran saw him work out In St. Petersburg there was a change In plans and
Gavvy received a regular berth Ho has plajed In every game and his hitting won
many of them
It is believed that Cravath worried too much last year and that nffected his
playing. In tho world Eerie! ho was away off form and hl batting slump was tho
cause of tho Phillies' defeit. Gavvy felt bid about It and tried too hard to make
good As a result ho got off to a bad start and was lucky to finish whore, he did
Tht ear, however. It was different. Ho didn't h-ivo a caro in the. world and got
Info the game with moro spirit than tho youngest rookie. In a short time he was
In good phFlcal shape and his batting eye In mldscason form. lie started hitting
the very first day and has kept It up Cravath Is a fixture In tho outfield dcsplto
his glaring errors occasionally, and his warclub will bring more victories to tho
House of Moran ,
Another slugger who has busted Into tho select circle Is Bill Klllefcr. Tho
tsrllng catcher now has a swatting average of 323, which is moro than he has
batted in cars. nil! is playing great baseball this "season and Is a scientific hitter.
He seldom hits for ctra bases, but he can placo his blnglcs almost any placo In
tho field.
V.
AVV BANCnoPT has almost reached tho .300 class, falling Just two
points shoit His average Is SOS.
it won't be long before he Is with tho leaders. Gcorgo Whlttcd is going
good and Bert Klehoff Is batting .2S6
Phils Come Back Strong After Their Dag Off
THAT walloping received on Wcdnesd.iv afternoon evidently did tho Phils a lot
of good for they cine back strong vcsteidiy and hinded Cincinnati tho second
trimming of the seiie! Cppa Hlev pitched a swell game, his pals recovered their
batting and fielding ces and tho visitors were helpless The home folks weie at
their best, as can be seen In tho box score, which shows eleven hits for twenty
bases, The made a couple of errors which netted as many tuns to the foe, but
they can bo excured It only shows that th6 Moranmen can make mistakes nntl
(till win. (
As usual, a pair of homo, runs featured the tnmhit Circuit clouting Is ono
of the popular outdoor sports at Broad and Huntingdon streets, but It seems to
be falling off till! week Last week nine four-basers were leglstered, against si
tip to date. There wa! nothing doing on Monday, but Dodo Paskert camo through
With one to the left Held bleacheis on Tuesday. Alex obliged on Wednesday and
Thorpe and Clarke biffed a pair on Thursd.i Yesterday Cap Luderus and Ban
croft smashed heme run! over the right field fence, and others nro training for
round trps todaj Twontv-one homo runs have been mado In tho Phils' park In
the tvvent-thieo games plajed Since Mav 11 snrao ono has knocked tho ball out
cf the lot In evcrv game but one. It is believed that tho cold weather has a lot
to do with the heavj hitting, as the pitchers nro afraid to let themselves out and
put too many ball! In the groove The majorlt of the hits havo been real smashes
and would bo good for extra bases in nny park. The Phils nro leading tho sluggers
with twelve, four of them being scored by Cravath Other homo-run hitters aie
Bancroft, two, Luderus, two, Xlehoff, Alexander, Paskert and Adams. Tho visitors
who have mado tho circuit unassisted are Kllduff. New York; Holke, Now York;
Brief Pittsburgh, two, Plscher, Pittsburgh, two; Hlnchman, Pittsburgh; Thorpe,
Cincinnati, and Clarke, Cincinnati.
JACK ADAMS qualified for tho sluggers' Icaguo on Mav IB when ho sent
one of Cooper's offerings Into Ilioafl street. Adims hns been playing
good ball this cnr and tho lnjur which laid him low jesterclay will weaken
the Phil! considerably With IMdio Burn! suffering with a lame shoulder,
tho hulk of the catching will fall upon Bill Klllefcr Bill, however, l! going
bo good now that he will be kept In the gamo ns long a! ho can stand up.
Governor Brumbaugh Took Proper Course in Vetoing Boxing Bill
BOXING In I'cnnslv.ini.i will not he under Stalo supervision for somo time to
como Governor Brumbaugh haw to that jestcrday when ho vetoed tho Catlln
bill, which had passed both houses and was sent to tho Kxccutho for hi! signature.
Tho Governor gave somo sound reason! for vetoing tho measure and should bo
commended for hi! action.
Theoretically, the Catlln bill, which provided a bolng commission, Is a great
thing But there nlwavs l! a illfferenco between theory and practice. Politics
Was bound to pln an Important part in tho selection of tho boxing body, and that
would be tho first step townid killing the spoit in this State. Now York tried It,
and such a scandal resulted that tho bolng gamo will be burled on November 15
at this ear. Cleveland tried a local commission, and the commissioners took
themselves so seriously that it was Impossible for spectators to attend without
being Insulted. They tried It In Minnesota and tho sport was abolished. Tho com
mission In Wisconsin Is moro or loss of a Joke, and In a very short tlmo that State,
too, will put up tho bars.
A commission Is not needed In Pennsylvania. Tho city authorities have a set
of rules which regulate tho sport and wo have had no troubln In jcars. Philadel
phia is known 'as the beet fight-town In the country, and tho reason for that is
because there have been no politicians holding down soft Jobs to tamper with tho
bouts. Boxing is part of tho sporting life of this city and l! Just as prominent at
baseball, football or any other form of sport. Tho Governor was right In leaving
well enough alone. j
THERE is an able man in charge of bo.xlng at present, and while he Is at
the helm there need be no fear of tho sport falling Into bad repute. Wo
are referring to Director of Public Safety Wilson. Ho keeps clote watch
on the vailous clubs, and ns a result thero hnvo been few scandals,
Football Managers to Select Officials in New York Today
AT THE present writing It seems ns If football will bo played by tho colleges this
fall. Tho Central Board nn Officials will meet tho manageis and coaches in
New York today to select officials for tho Important games and look over the
schedules. This means that tho gridiron sport will not bo abandoned and Presl
. Ieht Wilson's Idea will be carried out. There Is no reason to call off everything,
as Jt would show that the colleges were dependent upon a certain class to repre
sent Ihcm on the football field, Football is a sport w hlch can bo Indulged In by
the. majority of students In college, and because a few of tho best men drop out
the others should not be deprived of a chance to show what they can do.
Yale, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Dartmouth, Pittsburgh nnd the other largo
colleges will have representatives at the meeting, and the work will bo done the
came as if war had not been declared. Dr. James A. Babbitt, of Philadelphia, will
have charge of the meeting and will be assisted by Herbert W, Taylor, secretary
'nt tho board.
AL DBMjBEE continues as the Giants' Jinx. His 6-to-l win over the McGrawa
.dropped the Xew Yorkers to third place. It was his eleventh victory over his
termer teammates since McGraw turned him loose. Demaree has lost only three
45loo. Consistent work, we would say.

Three different indicate- each of w hlch

that the dlffeient persons interested in pro.

featherweight champion has been holding

he bout would bo held at a oca! ball
nark but most recent reports point to the
National Club as the place for the match
Tliete Is no doubt that a Kilbanc-Lconard
