,,ONE PAIR OF PITCHING MYSTERIES
, ,: RUNNING LOOSE AT SHIBE PARK
AND FANS ARE SEEKING ANSWER
JPoor Showing of Falkenberg and Myers Big Dis-
vappointment and Club Suffers Bodie Most
Popular Leftfielder A's Ever Had
rTOERE aro two mysteries floating around the camp of Connie Mack. Tho
A mysterious stuff consists of a. pair of lengthy hurlers labeled Falkenberg and
Myers, and no one seems able to discover the answer. Lengthy Cy was expected
to burn up the league when he was captured in the brush near Indianapolis and
Blongated Elmer had the most brilliant future in the world before the season
"tarted. However, since tho big show got under way this duo havo shown nothing
kut steerage class, and as a result the ball club has suffered considerably. Ac
eordinr to the dope, those hurlers are the best in the business, but in reality tho
enly clubs they help are those playlnr against the Athletics. It seems strange
that they should go on the blink in this fashion, but it Is one of tho vagaries of
baseball and you never can tell.
Old Cy is a very good pitcher when ho is right, but when ho Is a trlflo off
eolor the outfielders begin to look around for taxlcabs and motorcycles to help
them chase the balls. Wednesday morning when he appeared against tho Yankees
Cy' offerings were pathetic. He had nothing on the ball but the cover and tho
Vtotdra almost broke their bats. In Cleveland last week, however, Falky pitched
a iwell game and beat the Indians. That proves that all hope la not lost, but tho
victory occurred en an alien field and we didn't have a chance to gaze upon his
good work. His two starts on tho home lot have been disastrous and the fans aro
Waiting to see him when he is "right."
The case of Elmer Myers baffles the dopesters. Last year ho had overythlng
j good pitcher jleslred and always gave a good account of himself in the games.
'He waa the best pitcher on the club next to Bush and every one predicted that
lie would startle the world this year because he had more experience. But some
thing went wrong. At tho start he failed to show anything and Connlo kept him
erl the bench. Then he developed a cold and that kopt him out another couple of
Keks. When he took his regular turn In tho box he couldn't keep the ball away
from the opponents' bats and took early shower baths after being chased. In
.addition to thai he appears indifferent and does not look liko tho same pitcher of a
year ago. He nan the stuff, but he hasn't been ablo to uso it. Perhaps the bad
Weather can be blamed for tho miserable work and it Is hoped that both Elmer
and Cy. will come through when the days grow warmer.
"10NNIE doesn't seem to be worried and believes that his pair of mys--'
teries will deliver tho goods beforo long. He saw Falkenberg work
down South and Harry Davis watched tho hairpin put on his net In tho
American Association. Cy needs more work, and in another month or bo
he should be twisting 'em over as well as the other top-notchers. Tho
same thing goes for Myers.
Athletics Still Look Good and Will Win Many Ball Games
4T1HE last time we were here," remarked Bill Donovan as he departed for New
York, "I said that Connie Mack had a good ball club and would cause lots of
trouble In the league this year. After this second visit, all I can say Is that wo
Were lucky to get an even break and I feel much better now that It Is all over.
I'd rather play any other team In the league than the A's. They havo so many
luggers in the line-up that the game is likely to bo busted up any minute if tho
ether club hasn't a lead of four or five runs. You need thav many tallies to get
away with it. In that flftcen-lnnlng game I was on pins and needles throughout,
for I expected Strunk, Bodle, Bates, Mclnnls Jr Schang to soak ono on tho noso
and lose It. We had some luck with us when wo got those two runs In tho fifteenth,
but the game was won and counts In the official standing. Schauer pitched well,
but I paid more attention to Slim Love. You know. Slim waa not very popular
When he broke in and, despite my boosting, many believed that ho was a flivver.
Z kept him on the club, however, and now he Is one of tho best southpaws in tho
business. He Is getting better every day, and Just watch his smoke from now on.
He will lose few games this year."
Bill always has been an admirer of Connlo Mack, but he has tho right Idea thh
Tear. Connie has a good ball club, and for the first time since 19H It looks llko a
big league aggregation. There Is a different spirit among tho players. No longer
are they calm and Indifferent to what Is going on, but nro In tho gamo fighting
very minute and trying hard to como out on top. Stuffy Mclnnls has changed
considerably, and that scrappy attitude has put him in the .300 class in hitting
and made him play a sensational game In the flold. Amos Strunk, too, Is putting
ore life In his work, and the others on the team aro showing lots of "pep."
TIHE Athletics have changed from a colorless, machlno-llko team to a
pugnacious aggregation. They will not admit defeat and battle hard
to the end to win tho game. In Detroit last week they overcame big
. leads twice and won one game lifter an eleven-inning tussle.
Ping Bodie Has Strengthened the Club and Instilled Fighting Spirit
ITtHE return of Ping Bodle to the big show has been ono of tho sensations of the
year. He Is playing great baseball, and desplto his roly-poly appearance is as
fast as the majority of outfielders. Also, ho plays a heady game nnd makes moro
ef a hit with the fans than all of the other players put together.
Last fall, after It was announced that Ping had been signed by Mack, wo asked
a player on the White Sox club why he was released and chased to the bushes.
"That deal always looked funny to me," said the player, "because Ping always
played a good game. He was dangerous In the pinches and ho always walloped
the ball. He played center field for us and covered lots of ground; but becauso ho
didn't look as trim and neat aa the other members of the team, some believed he
waa too slow for fast company. Wo always regretted tho loss of Bodle, for ho
really was an asset to the club. Some said fhat he played a brainless game. Don't
you believe It. He knows more Inside baseball than a number of stars drawing
down big money, and if you look over his record carefully you will find that ho
make few mistakes. Connie Mack has drawn a prize and ho will realize it when
Pint sets Irito the game."
6n Wednesday Bodle pulled off a sensational play when he threw out Plpp at
the plate In the seventh Inning after catching Hendryx's long fly. The throw
was a beauty, sailing straight Into Bill Meyer's glove, and It la doubtful If It ever
will be equaled again except by Bodle himself. It was made under difficulties,
too. The ball waa over Ping's head and he had to run back for It. In fact, ho
till waa running back when ho caught the ball, and had to stop, straighten him
self out and look at the plate before he hurled the pellet
WE HAVE had many popular left fielders on tho Athletic club, but none
ever made such a hit with the bleacherltes as Bodle. Brls Lord was
well thought of and Rube Oldrlng had a good stand-in, but the two-bit
patrons seem to have warmed up to Ping, When he goes after a ball they
coach him from the stands with, "You can get It, Ping; you have lots of
room and won't run Into the stand." As a result, Bodle Is playing the
game of his life, because his efforts are appreciated by the real experts.
The Phils Have Hit the Rocky Road Three Games Lost in a Row
PAT MORAN was right when he said that It was too early to judge tho strength
of the clubs In tho National League, Hla own club is a shining example, for
after losing but two games on the homo grounds In nearly a month, It dropped
twfc In New York on Wednesday and yesterday slipped up In Pittsburgh. It waa
a dandy chance to recover first place In the league, as the Giants were traveling
westward. A series of errors In the second Inning caused the downfall of tho
Phil. Cooper lost a long fly In the sun, Bancroft uncorked a wild throw and
Stock foozled on an easy peg from Nlehoff which wpuld have forced a man nt
third. These mishaps gave the Pirates two runs Just enough to win the game.
After that, the Phillies looked very good and played excellent baseball. They made
Bine hits off Mamaux and Jacobs, yAlle Rlxey yielded but seven safeties, three of
them coming In the second.
THESE three defeats should put the local players on their mettle and
make them play more careful baseball. The club was weakened by the
absence of Dodo Paskert, who Is laid up with a Charley horse. Cooper Is
,j a great fielder, but he can't play the game as well as the veteran.
Brand flew Forms of Sport Always Bobbing Up
SOMEBODY la always Inventing a new game, and among late achievements in
point Is that described by O. Rice aa a result of his fishing trip to 'Canada.
Jfe reports that Bill McGeehan showed the guides a new point in trapping the
yriry salmon.
It seems that the powerful and elusive salmon fish has a way of loosening Itself
Arem the gaff after reaching the bank. According to Rce, the resourceful Mr.
Mc(3tehan thrice went to the rocks with partially landed specimens, diving upon
'lwm and Imprisoning them much after the manner of a football player rounding
M0 a loose ball.
ANOTHER Interesting sport recently Invented ts known aa "Table Golf."
- The game Is stated to be very fascinating. It la played wtth a warm
,knife and a pieoe of butter, the various utensils and receptacles of the
table serving aa holer ana hazards.

Selection of Clubs
WHEN our prospective golf champion has
selected his. clubs it will probably save
him much future troublo If ho has them
overlooked by the
professional at his
club or Rpme friend
who really plays
well We touched
upon this subject In
a previous article,
but Its Importance
demands further
elaboration
Proper equipment
Is absolutely neces
sary In any field of
endeavor if ono Is
determined to got tho
best results In buy
ing a set of clubs
there is always a
chance that some
blades may be poorly'
set or that the iron
may be Imperfectly
forged. This extra
CHICK EVANS
precaution of a careful examination by an
expert Is essential because Iron clubs par
ticularly are Intended to be the companion
of years of play It Is a real golf tragedy
to be obliged to break In a new Iron club,
for it means much experimenting with an
other loft beforo the player will abso
lutely know what he can count upon In his
club There Is a possibility, too, that the
grips of the clubs will be found too large
for the finger grip. And In my best Judg
ment the finger grip Is the only one for the
man who expects to become an expert
golfer, I wish to lay emphasis on this
point When these little details of the
clubs are settled at the start It will save
much time and much unnecessary experi
menting later on. I know the Importance
of the seemingly little matter of learning
the right grip because learning the wrong
grip at the start cost me several years of
effort
Good golf Is (argely the delicate art of
knowing how to practice. Indeed, I am in
clined to think that all good golf Is 90 per
cent practice and 10 per cent natural apti
tude. It this Is correct, then the man who
goes about his play Intelligently can get
within 10 per cent of championship golf
And when lie does this he has an additional
stimulus to his ambition, the knowledge that
he probably has within himself the 10 per
cent of aptitude necessary to reach the top.
The first months of practice win be hard
and always one ratt be careful not to
enough Tho greatest troublo with our
would-be champions Is that they try to
learn everything at onco and Ignore tho
great Importance of practice plus system
atic effort. It Is almost a golfing maxim
that famous college athletes do not mako
good golfers. If this maxim Is true, It Is
becauso colli-go athletes nro usually quickly
learned nnd Buccess In them depends to a
great extent upon natural physical ad
vantages. In golf Just the rovereo Is true.
Golf Is not a game to learn In a day,
a month or a year, but when one has trav
eled a short distance In the royal and
ancient game he finds that there Is a great
deal of genuine pleasure In tho learning,
vvhllo the oxerclse It entails Is a delightful
health tonic. It Is well not to underesti
mate tho difficulties of golf, for unless the
man Is prepared for them he s likely to
become discouraged before he realizes the
possibilities within himself and the recrea
tion tho game will glvo him If this hap
pens he Is likely to either give up the game
entirely or reconcile himself to playing
poorly all the days of his life.

FIRST REPORT OF AMERICAN DEAD

From States Who Lands Salmon by Tackling
Them After Flying Dive
By GRANTLAND RICE
The serlci of Canadian sports articles, u-ith special rccrcncc to tear con

to the Dominion, ends with the present Installment. Tho concluding article
tells how a mrmher of the fishing party shouvd the Canadians a nexo twinkle

ton'i latent baicbali parns.

Immediately returns one Fet answer nil

of grlmnes It Is this "Walt until tho

Those who havo watched nnd followed
events In tho great Dominion to the north
nre confident that tho first list of dead nnd
wounded will throw a black, heavy shadow
abovo all American sport to tho end of
tho war
"I know " remarked one prominent Cana
dian sportsman. "Just what a grip base
ball has upon the people of the t'nlted
States. Hut I don't believe that even big
leaguo baseball can stand up under tho

siasm to bo developed the casualty list may,
to a big extent, be overlooked But unless
this Inppens, tho first news of the dead nnd
wounded In action will virtually mark the
end of all competitive sport."
A New Sport
In splto of all this Canada recently has
como upon n new sport. Tho new sport
referred to was not developed by a
Canadian, but by William O Connel Mc
Geehan, better known as Gaffer Bill
The new sport was developed nnd
promulgated up Cains Itlvcr In a salmon
fishing expedition which consisted of nine
fishermen mid nlno guides. At one pool
along tho Cains tho snlmon, weighing be
tween fifteen and twenty pounds, were
Jumping nnd rising In such copious quanti
ties that terrlflo excitement prevailed 'Whllo
Chief Guldo Harry Allen nnd his alert aids
wero busy elsewhere Colonel Maximilian
Foster hooked nn clghteen-pound salmon.
As tho big fish was ilnally drawn Into tho
edgo of u steep bank it was discovered that
no expert gaffer or gaffman had been sum
moned to land tho fish Gaffer Bill Mc
Geohan, although ho had nover gaffed a
salmon in his tempestuous career. Im
mediately volunteered for the Job, H
managed to swipe tho big fish out of the
water, but the gaff snapped as the salmon
struck tho sldo of the hank. The fish thea
darted for tho water nnd was half way in
when McGeehan leaped 'ipon It with a
flying dlvo with a combination catch-aa-catch
can and Qreco-Iloman grip. After
that Gaffer Bill snared two moro salmon
In tho farno way, to tho Intense astonish
ment of tho guides.
.Dismantling Science
It was on this trip through Now Brunt
wick nround a camp ftro ono night that
Ilughey I'ullorton related what ho consld.
ered the funniest Interest of spring base
ball. "In ono of tho Cub games," related
Hughey, "the scoro was 6-5 In the sixth
inning Tho other club put In a new
pitcher, a big raw busher with terrlflo
speed, but no great control and not much
of a curve One of the Cub youngsters
went to bat, nnd after getting three balli
and two strikes finally fanned on a cannon
shot around his neck. The young Cub
came back to tho bench growling, with 1
dlxgusted look on his face.
" 'What'n the troublo ? ' asked Fred
Mitchell
"'Aw,' he said, 'wo had a good gamt
going till this big busher came In. But now
ho's gone nnd took all tho science out of
it.' "
