ML . TT ! i w t if 1 'aK-a' iNSTEAD OF 111 PHILLIES MAKE BRILLIANT RECORD ON WESTERN TRIP DESPITE INJURIES TO STARS; PLAY HERE TOMORROW Loss of Bancroft Weakens the Club and Paskert's Absence at Beginning of Tour Also Hurt Alex ander-Has Started on Another Good Year T1HE Phillies hae put across another surprise In the National League. They - have proved to the Innocent bystanders that tho ball club Is one to be reckoned with In tho race (or the gonfalon and the Giants are not so dangerous, after all. They played consistent baseball In the western trip, which ended In Cincinnati yesterday, and will bo with us again tomorrow for a long stay. Save for a four some series In Brooklyn the latter part of this month, tho team wilt hold Its daily matinees on the home lot until July 24 This home stand will be Important, as It will determine tho real strength of the contenders. The Dodgers are here tomorrow and the Giants will follow for a series of four games Then comes the Jump to Brooklyn for four days, and after that tho visiting clubs will be enter tallied as follows: Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis. The team has done remarkably well when one considers the handicaps undei which the men were working First, Dodo Paskcrt was relegated to tho tilde lines because of a strained leg, and now Davy Bancroft Is out because of Injuries These men were missed In the line-up, but It was fortunate that both were not on the disabled list at the same time Claude Cooper, who replaced the veteran In center field, cannot be called a great player and McGafllgan Is not In the name class with Bancroft. The substitutes tried hard to make good, but their presence did not add any strength to tho team. When tho Phils left home on May 28 they were in first place, with tho Giants trailing. Two defeats on Decoration Day ousted them, however, and they traveled westward to regain tho top on alien fields. They won two out of four In Pitts burgh, two (straight In Chicago, two out of thrco In St. Louis and two out of five In Cincinnati. This gives them a total of eight victories and eight defeat"!, which Is much better than was expected. THE western clubs were considered quite strong, especially tho Cubs and St Louis Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were not taken seriously, and here the Phils had most trouble. Pat Moran's Methods Responsible for Showing of the Club SOMEBODY must be responsible for the snowing of the local team, and It will not be necessary to look further than Patricio Moran, tho phenom from Kltch burg, Mass As a personally conducted publicity agent, Pat Is very much on tho blink and is the only shrinking lolet In the managerial league Pat necr talks about himself, but goo3 about hli work In a quiet way, producing nothing but results He has been with tho club two cars this Is the third and in that time won tho pennant anil came within a gamo or so of repenting last year. This reason he again Is up In the running and has a good chnnco to cop He has done more with a patched-up club which cost him almost nothing than Muggsy McGraw with that aggregation of stars on which $72,000 was spent. Ho whipped the greatest pennant-losing team Into shape In a single season, and did It without the aid of a brass band Moran's first official act was to ttade Sherwood Mageo to BUon tor Gcorgo Whltted and Oscar Dugcy. Then Hans Lobert was sent to New Yolk In exchange for Stock, Demarce and Adams Those two deals did not make much of a hit with the fans and tho new manager was dubbed a failure and a wild man from the start. But ho quietly sawed wood, and when tho Teds swiped Knabe and Dolan from the Infield he set about to fill tho gap instead of howling for sjmpathy In tho pre-season dope tho Phils wcro conceded a swell chance to finish between seventh and eighth place, and some critics even went so far as to predict that the gang of castoffs would be chased out of the league before the race was halt over WHAT he accomplished with theso selling platers now is history. Ho gained tho respect of tho other managers In the big league, and now he Is in again with the pace-making club and tho "castoffs" still In the limelight. Alexander's Record This Year Is Dcst of His Career BIG ALEX Is blamed for the majorltj of lctorlcs scored by Pat's Phils, and In this case the dope is correct The premier hurler got off to a bad start, but noon recovered his stride and now Is breezing along llko a derby winner in a selling race. On June 13 Groer won his eleventh game of the season, which is tho best mark since Joining the club In 1913 he pitched nine games up to this time of the year, winning eight and tMng one The ear before he won five and lost five up to June 13, and in 1914 his mark was se erf victories nnd five defeats. In 1915, how'ever, it was ten nnd two nnd last jcar he won nlno nnd lost three Thus it can be seen that Ale is Improving with age.

ALEX'S apell over tho Reds was broken yesterday when he lost the J. decision In a twelve-Inning struggle by 5 to 4. Three singles, a double and a pass In the fourth accounted for four runs, and yiree singles In succession In the twelfth ended the game, Alex himself combed three singles and his mates rapped Regan for fourteen hits, but fast work In the field checked the Phils and won for Matty's tedlegs. Tcner Denes McGraw Then Announces He Will Give Up His Job IET us' hope that John K.

He 1h one of the best outfielders In the business, despite his long experience, and will be nn able substitute for cither Cravatli, Paskert or Whltted He also will be used as a pinch hitter, a Job which has been filled by Claude Cooper In a hap hazard manner The purchasing of "Wildfire" also may mean that Oavvy Cravath will be given a rest occasionally something that he needs. Prank Schulte has been In the big league thirteen years and, strange as It may seem, plajcd his first garni, under the big tent right hero In Philadelphia It was on September 21 1904, when tho Cubs played here Schulte who had been purchased from the Sjrauisc club In the New York State League, iieaded the batting order and mado good with threo hits, Including a three-bagger off Bill Dugglebv, who, how ever, won the gime by the score of 7 to 4 From then until 1006 Frank was sub stitutlng, but when Frank Chance took charge of the Cubs Schulte was given a tegu'ar berth in right field With Sheckard and blaglc, ho worked In the outer garden and won a couple of world's champion, ships. Ho remained with the Cubs until last car when he was traded to Pittsburgh by Joe Tinker Schulte is one of the most graceful bat ters who ever stepped up to the plate He Is a good hitter and one jcar led the league in home run wallops. He was born In Cochccton, N Y on September 17, 1882, which makes him nearly thirty five eara of age However, he still it good and has several years of baseball left In him M'GRAW MISSING AT OWN TRIAL IN N.

Into session here today to uncover the reason for Muggsv's vitriolic attack on Tener following the lattcr's ac tion In fining tho manager of the Giants $500 and suspending him for sixteen das for taking a punch at Umpire Byron Before hostilities commenced it was re ported that McGraw was anxious to with-, draw the protest so far as he personally was concerned and he would accept his punishment Muggsy also said he would not attend the meeting, as he had agreed to attend an exhibition game In Wellsv llle. N Y , home time ago. and as the game Is to be held chiefly In his honor he thought It best to go But Tener will not let the matter drop He, too, has been attacked and an effort will be made to determine who is boss of the National League, Tener or McGraw There promises to be an all-round lively session, the liveliest. In fact, that has stirred up the dust In the sedate old cir cuit since Tener went Into office and fired Charley Murphy out of Chicago New York fandom Is aroused over the costly svv lpe the president took at the high priced manager Followers of the game here assert that Tener went tno far and McQraw's absence Is weakening the club KTriTlJJTT ftjyttfiui SUITS .80 TO ORDER Reduced from SSO, Its and Jit I PETER MORAN & CO.
