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. The following data explains It all

Tcner Denes McGraw Then Announces He Will Give Up His Job
IET us' hope that John K. Tener, president of the National League, will dispose
.1 of the SlcCJraw case before he steps out of office next December. The battling
manager of New York has said a few harsh words about the boss of the plrcutt
end the time has come for a showdown, A meeting has been called and the matter
wjll be threshed out to an understanding pel haps.
"When Tener succeeded Tom Lynch In the winter of 1913-14 ho stepped ,'nto
one of the .scrappiest obs he ever held and he once was Governor of Pennsyl
vania. His first hazard was the war with the Federal League, which has Just
beer settled, and. others came in rapid succession McGraw has worried, him con

HOFFNER LOOKS A WINNER
NOBLE, Pa , June 18.
D Clark Corkran, the sensational young
Baltimore star, Jumped Into tho lead for
tho first half of the qualifying round of
the annual Lymiewood Hall golf tourna
ment at tho Huntingdon Valley Country,
Club by turning In a card of 76 for his
first trip around the course
A field of about seventy started In the
38 hole medal test and among the players
aro many stnr from out of town Max
Mnrston, winner of tho tournament In 1016
paired off with Cameron Buxton, local
champion, who lost to Marston In the finals
last year J B Parrlsh, of the National
Links, and others from the Metropolitan
district were among the starters
Corkran's enrd represents almost perfect
golf, ns the voting .Southern player had hut
ono expensive hole The long sixteenth
against the wind represented a seven but
a two on the fourteenth and a bird three
on the home hole kept the round In lead
ing position
Older Corkran Third
B Warren Corkran the older brother
of the medalist-apparent, held down third
place among the early starters with a
round of eighty, while Reginald S Worth
Inrton, of Shawnee, was sandwiched be
tween the Baltimore brothers, w ith his card
of seventy-seven
George W Hoffncr. of Woodbury, trailed
Clark Corkran's morning medal Score with
a spectacular 77 Hoffner had a bad out
Journey and through a series of missed
putts he reached the turn In 43 strokes, but
when the oung Jersey plajer passed tho
half way mark ho uncorked a streak of
the best gol of the day by making the
In trip In tvt. strokes under the average
of 4s for a remarkable total of 34

Max Marston had a tendency to be short
on his approach shots and could not do
better than 84 Going out In 42 he made
tho second nine in the same figures
Cameron Buxton, who qualified with the
tall Metropolitan golfer, threw a card of 81
to tho boardkeeper for his total of the
first round The city champion led his
partner b a stroke at the half wa mirk
and came, home In 40

One of tho sensations of the qualifying
round was the work of fifteen year-old
Donaldson Cresswell, of tho home club who
made the morning rounds In the creditable
figure of Dl Tills It joung Cressw ell's
Initial tournament of any size, and his
gamo proved more brilliant than many
of the more experienced starters
The Bed Cross feature of the tournament
was very much In evidence, through a small
booth placed near the Mg tcore board The
table was under the direction of Mrs TC
C Huber and Mrs William M Weaver and
a very satisfactory rum wns raised for
the worthy cause through the various
sources of revenue Bach contestant was
taxed a cent a stroke for his efforts in
the medal round and in addition, small
Red Cross flags were sold to players and
followers.

Pittsburgh Outfielder Joins
Pat Moran's Club, Is
Smoketown Report
PITTSBURGH, June 18
Frank Schulte, left fielder of the Pitts
burgh ball club, has been released to the
Phillies, It was announced today Schulte
will leave for Philadelphia tonight, where
he will Join the Moranmen tomorrow
Moran purchased Schulte for $1600, the
regular waiver price
Tho acquisition of Schulte will strengthen
the Phils In their fl(.ht for the pennant.
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. Y.
NHW YOrtKr June 18
With John J McClravv among the miss
ing the president nnd directors of the Na
tional League went. 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

From "Songs of Rooters' Row."
WE MIGHT Just as well today take up
the case of those astounding Phillies,
piloted by a leader who has never received
nnvwhere near his duo recognition for ex
traordinary ability to lead a ball club Need
It be said that we refer to Tat Moran? It
needn't
What about the Phillies? They won a
pennbnt In 1915, came within a half breath
of winning one In 1016-probab ly wo ud
have won If the Giants hadn't collapsed In
that final serles-and here, for tho better
part of June, they have been In front of
the Giants
Here Is a ball club with one of the most
consistent two-Jtid-one-half vears ""d
In recent years On the face of average
returns It should be enroled with a series
of stnri But what Is the dope?
Outside of G C Alexander, how many
of the Phillies are rated as stars? K"'"6'
and Burns aro first-class catchers, but few
crown them with any fancy garlands
There are many first basemen rated vvell
above Luderus Mclnnls, Chase, Daubert
Pipp, etc
Most of the second basemen are placed
above Nlchoff Bancroft Is very good, but
certainly no better than Pecklnpaugh, Ma
ranvlllc, Fletcher. Scott or Hornsby
Is Stock at third any stronger than Larry
Gardner, Frank Baker, Heinle Groh. Heinle
Zimmerman? Not so as ou m Ight notice
It Would ou rather havo Whltted, Cra
vath and Paskert or Cobb, Veach and Hell
man? Or Burns. Kauff and Robertson?
Or Lewis, Hooper and Walker? Or Speaker.
Granev and lloth' Or Jackson, telsch and
Leibol'd?
Up and Down
Outside of Alexander the Phillies hac
nixoy Lavender, Mcver and Ocschger
t- !,.. innir in ii nnv whirlwind start
of stars? Note preclselv But vou have the I
record of the bunch blnco 19H I-or tnreo
years alwajs up there, cither leading or
glv Ing the leaders rabid battle a consistent
record above 600 for more than 3B0 games,
as complete a test as any autopsy merchant
wouUTcare to work on
These random remarks are not Intended
to suggest that the Phillies are not com
posed of good ball plavcrs The record
disproves this
But the point is maae inai ouwiuo ji
Alexander, and possibly Bancroft or Kllle
fer. none of the Phillies Is often given ex
tended mention In the polite dltpatches of
tho day Picked out, man for man, few
aro rated among the leaders
There are any number of outfields and
any number of Infields that aro supposed
to bo far better
But when the returns are In the standing
of tho clubs dlsplajs another story
Some Reasons
Just why Is the complex situation as It
Is? Well, for at least one or two reasons
One of these Is Pat Moran, one of the ablest
managers that ever led a ball club a quiet
unpretentious citizen with a bale of forte
and a strolls rugged character, who ,ilua3
commands respect Moran knows a baseball
and he knows men He Is a rare picker of
pitchers and bo Inspires his club through
every battle They never sank undi r his
leadership The are alwajs out there
giving the best their sstems carr Thev
are never caught loafing or lagging or
casing up. Man by man thej are jleldlng
100 per cent of what they have In stock
Moran Is one reason, and a mighty one He
has only been managing for a trifle over
two ears and he has spent all that time
either at the top or within a step of It
Still Another
The second reason Is Alexander One
great pitcher on a ball club means .more
than most people know You may recall
what Mathewson meant to the Giants
when the Old Boy was In his prime When
jou have one pitcher who can cash In from
thirty to thirty-five games a ear you
have a big running start In the right
direction
The season Is stll' young and tender, but
Big Alex has already won eleven games
Schupp has the better record but Alex has
