Tim .Men of Moran tiro hlttlns: the bumps J regularly and If It keeps on much longer the pennant hopes will explode with 11 (sincere- but luaty DAN'U! The club Is not playing tho Ramo It li capable'of and as a result many battles oro ticlnn lost. Komctlmos the other club desarves to win, but In the majority of cases mlsplays by tho homo folks hand It tho combat on a silver platter. Thcro was no excuse for losing tho game yesterday. Pitts- " burgh clearly was outclassed nnd stepped out on the field to tako Its dally beating. There was llttlo spirit In that gang from Smoketown. and they were ns much mir prised ns nny when they began pushing tollies over the pan. Costly boots by Bancroft, Nlehoff nnd Luderus gummed things up so that tho' visitors couldn't help copping the matinee. There is something wrong with the Phils and the trouble seems to bo In the Infield. Bancroft, tho best shortstop In tho National League, Is not going good and in the last week has made many errors. Nlehoff boots them with amazing regularity and Luderus comes In for his share. Milton Stock, too, oppenrs too anxious and his play Is not ns smooth as before. The pitchers are not going very well, but outside of that everything Is tine. Pat Moran has a tough Job on his hands In pulling his athletes bark Into their winning stride, but something tnust bo done In a hurry. If the club can't beat Pittsburgh, what chance will It have against tho other six entries for the pennant derby? AN ADDITIONAL pitcher nnd n good inflelder will help considerably, but where can they bo procured? Scouts hnvo combed tho bushes 'or talent and returned ctnply-hntided. Hancroft's hand still Is 'sore nnd a lay-off would do him a world of good, but who could tako his place? The same goes for Ludortts, but he couldn't bo spared. It looks ns If the players would havo to work out their own salvation. ' Pavilion Managers in Their Glory AN INCIDENT of particular importanro nt this time occurred during the open .inc with the rirntcs. The PhlU were doing everything in their power to present the Pirates nnd tho new manager, Hugo Hezduk, with tho winning portion o the nine chapters, nnd it gave a few rooters in tho top pavilion nn opportunity to use their vocal hammers. The main subject for criticism seemed to bo Captnln Luderus. No matter what Krcd did. ho did it wrong. If Pat Moran had been In a position to hear the remarks ho would havo been compelled to suggest changing vocations with the kickers. It made little difference that Luderus knocked out a pair of clean hits, ho had n right to handle Carey's smash; ho should have allowed Joo Oescj4ger to remain In tho box when fates and Umpire QulBlcy were after him; ho should havo hit the ball over the fenco when King made u bensatlonal catch of his liner to the wall; he should have hit tho center flela wad for a triple when ho walked in the third, nnd he ought to have played Tat Moran nt short. In other words, Ludy was on the pan, and it seems par ticularly out of place. A Phil rooter is u Phil rooter. In tho old days, when Dan Johnson was afraid tho A's wero going to ruin business in the American League nnd the Phils wcro pennant winners until the end of June, the average Phil fan was nt the ball park at all times. It mado little difference to him or her whether the Phils wcro in the lead. Tho Phil fan's favorites were In there tryln', and that was what counted. Wo asked this chap who seemed to lead tho verbal attack how many ball games he had Been. Ho replied that he was out almost every day. Tho fellow Is good ' at hc.irt, no doubt, but a foolish baseball bug, works night work and can't uso his thinking apparatus In tho daytime. Any way, It was a little tough on Ludy. There is no player on any team in tho big leagues who works harder than the Phils' flrst-sacker. Ho trlC3 for everything, nnd his only weakness to be noticed from the press box Is the fact that he Is what Is termed a colorless ball player. Mo is steady, reliable, understands nnd receives Bancroft forty-nine times out of fifty, covers his territory nicely and, outside of theso little details, has hit moro balls into Broad street than anybody we can remember. Tho argument seemed to lead to dope along these lines. The suggestion was to put Luderus out of the game. Wo think too Tnuch of Ludy to suggest any thing like that, so we will pu3 on to Manager Pat the Information that he should Eivo Luderus a rest ho is not hitting, according to Friend Fan, and rest might help his eye. Bring Oawge Whltled In from left field, put Gawgo on first nnd r send Schulto into left. If this change would bring a second pennant to Phllly it would please Luderus most of all. He has the best Interests of the Phils at heart. Geo.gc Whlttcd looked good at first base lh several games, but that Is not saying What ho would do regularly. . THIS artlclo Is not to be taken seriously by nny of tho plnyers In ques tion. It is written merely In answer to tho uncalled-for comments, a chance to glvo publicity to tho fan's cry; nnd, be he right or wrong, let tho Phils get themselves together, win a couple of ball games, let Ludy Join In tho good work, and this samo man will bo tho first to yell, "Atta boy, Ludy!" Yankees Submarined and Life Bells Not Working MANAGER WILD BILL DONOVAN, of the New York Yankees, Is wilder than the original wildcat. Tho bottom has fallen out of everything, nnd it looks like the whole works have been submarined and the llfo belts out of commission. The famous outfield fell down through Injuries and general disappointment, tho Wonderful pitching staff has been shot to pieces on account of Inconsistency and demoralization, und Bill himself has been sent to tho bench to cool off for allowing the strain to cause him to lose his head and resort to the great outdoor sport of umpire baiting. The Yanks havo been near-sensations all year. They wero Just nbout to become World beaters every now and again, but present conditions arc enough to have put a Wire edge on the disposition of Manager William, not to mention that of the par tisan fans and management who havo entertained such high hopes. The team has Just ended nn uninterrupted break of seven games lost, and now that general demoralization hns apparently Kot in, all hopes of a posslblo pennant nre gone, along with high nmbltlons of mopping up financially on nccount of the Giants getting In so bad with local fans and papers as a result of tho McGraw episode. Donovan's troubles with his outfield equipment were thought to have been enough to put a quietus to his ultimate pennant hopes, ns It seemed from develop ments that the break-down could not be remedied by substitution of other out field material already on hand or procurable. But tho blow-up of tho pitching department, tho suspension of Culilvtell and Shocker nnd tho ultimate suspension of Manager Donovun himself, leave a baseball wreckage rlpo for tho Junk heap of oblivion, as it were. ' THE New York managerial Job is no bed of rose3 these days, the some, being so eloquently Illustrated by recently enacted chapters In the careers both of the Giant and Ynnkeo leaders. t Oulmet Furnishes McGraw Episode of Golf World THE Oulmet case promises to supply the McGraw episode of tho world of golf this season. Tho great player again has been repudiated by' the United States Golf Association, and both ho nnd the Western Golf Association will repudiate and defy the elder golf body by his taking part In the western amateur meet Which starts at Chicago next Monday. Oulmet petitioned tho United States Association for reinstatement, but the decision of the executive committee of that body, which was unanimously given and announced a few days ago, was to tho effect that he was Ineligible as nn amateur on tho old ground ho was "engaged in tho business of selling golf sup plies." Oulmet admitted the crime, but stated, as a matter of fact, that he was making only about 20 per cent of his living In that manner. To the average American mind It would appear that tho attitude of the United States Association in Its decision Is lacking both In logic and consistency. The original view of tho point handed down from nhroad rests upon the line still strongly drawn there between a professional man and a "tradesman." There nre no such distinctions affecting a man's standing' ns a gentleman or nn amateur in this country, and golf, at least as played in America, ought to reflect American rather than English or'any other national llfo. Chick Evans Is also "in trade," and yet he Is In good standing with tho United States body. He sells bonds, and ns quite a largo number of golfers in this country have to do with bonds, why may It not bo said that the golf advertising that Mr. Evans gets out of his business is Just as great in degree and as "professional" In kind as that secured by Mr. Oulmet? Lots of persons deal In supplies that golfers demand and yet are able to maintain a good amateur rating, and why not Mr, Oulmet? The distinction Is not clear at all, especially as it appears that the astern golfer's Income from golfing supplies Is only a small proportion of his , , general earning capacity. 4., 38 Bl )UT the real trouble Is ahead. The major golf organization Is confronted ' with the situation of being defied by the' Western Association and by Oulmet, and what Is It going to do about it? Will Be Busy Playing for Some Time to Come IN THE meanwhile, Oulmet 1 going along serenely and will be kept busy from Monday for tho next few weeks filling playing engagements. After the Mid lothian tournament, from July 9 to 14 Inclusive, Oulmet will on his return East stop at Rochester, whero he will take part In an event at tho Rochester Country Club, opposing Walter llngen, the professional there. He "will also be seen at the rOak HW;Country Club, Rochester, Jn another match, TheHltoiyor of Buffalo has arranged a competition for Oulmet to be decided at th BuiwtyHfUntry Club, All of these, exnimuons ww pe ror me oenent or the i Idao, hocMa to puy irv . iaae tw ine uiq oi ine war Denent.M trnssr0 (Kl? , " Gee Whiz! rifT-Tv Jog I ix HWc Jo) - v - , fill I -faKa of MfHAT f .

The narrow road the trodden trail around the circle's girth; Poor vagabonds who wander far the beaten path along To find the peace of solitude among the jostling throng; Where'er they go whero they may be, Ily mead or hill or open sea, The path is crossed and out their day The legion crowds them from the way And holds them to the last at bay. Rut we, who seel; the road above, have found the Open Lane; One with the wander winds of dawn the drifting sun and rain; Our course is where the red stars call and whero the wild birds fly, The only barrier we know is rimmed against the1 sky; Where'er we go by dusk or dawn The open highway calls us on, The trail is clear and out through spaoa We meet the sunset face to face', And know the twilight's resting place. , The cities fade within the mist a blur against the plain, Where air guns wait for ns below to seek for us in vain; And then, above the rolling clouds, where death comes ridinq by, Ye meet our rival face to face against the endless sky; 'The rifle speaks the bullet sings Its song of hate through might) wings; And then wc sec him lurch and reel And flutter like a wounded teal, To dip and vanish head and heel. EDWARD CICOTTK, better known ns Klckety of the Sox. was a tenmmnte nnd pal of Nap Huckcr and Ty Colili In tho old Augusta days, around 190K. That was a matter of twelve campaigns ago nine yenrs before the Hermans Ktnrteu for I. lego nnd that seems nine centuries back. Hut Clcotte today Is the leading winner of tho American League, with thirteen victories to his credit and nearly every start well pitched. He Is tho main factor In the White Sox rise. And two years ago ho was supposed to bo out at tho edge of things, ready to knock off and call It a career! If the fans demand nggresslvo tactics toward umpires by players, why Is It that Christy Mathcwsnn, Ty Cobb. Hans Wag ner, Walter Johnson nnd Orover Alexander havo been the big drawing cards of baseball when none of them wastes nny time In um plrlcal abuse? There must bo an answer to this query, but what Is It? Three years ngo, back In the summer of 1D14, tho Ilrnves were dally said to be cracking under the strain. Now there ain't no strain. "What." queries Colonel Franklin P. Adams, "will tho nvlator do for excitement when the war ends?" Well, for one thing, there Is always an umpire's appointment open to the citizen who Insists upon an swering the clarion Call of the Wild and Woolly. More About Matty In tho middle of the week Christy Math- ewson at last urove Ills Heds Into a .500 count, less than four games back of third place. No extended publicity has been awarded the Hods this season, but In a quiet, unob ttUFlve way Mathewson has been holding his club nt a higher level than It was known for a good many Meeting summers. It has now been fourteen years since the Iteds finished ns liluh as third, nnd in the last dozen years they havo llnlshed In the first division but twice. This, Is a record of trouble nnd disaster well beyond the ordinary. Hut there Is a good chance now that Matty will fmally land his clan In tho first division nnd that he may even finish Just under the Ulants and Phillies, who nro setting all the pace that happens to be In right. Mnfty has ono star pitcher, one or two good ones, nnd a club with the punch. Tho Hcds nre out batting them nil at present, nnd tho ancient wallop is still a vital factor. Considering the depi casing fact that the Iteds finished In a tic for last place last sea. son, it -would be no light achievement to hoist them back Into tho first division his first complete season out. A Golf Columbus Pear Sir: Kor those who have trouble with siloing or hooking their tec shots, I believe I havo tho remedy at last.

It Is easy for almost any ono to get long distance with a wind behind him, nnd what the ambitious golfer wants to do is to learn to apply his own strength In cuch a way that the ball Is sent a long dls. tance without nny adventitious aid. No man can ever be con sidered a finished golfer until he Is able to placo his shots with the wind sweep ing In a gale about him. On tho British seaside courses the winds are terrific, and that Is why these courses have become famous as tests of the game; for tho windier the course, other things being equal, the more testing it Is. It takes a very decided knack to send a little ball flying Into a gale, feeling reason ably sure that it will fall somewhere near a designated spot. t The professionals speak of hanging a ball up In the wind, and they do it in such a way that it Is blown back and drops near tho hole. What the wind does to a little golf ball that la sent into it makes a very Interest ing study, and getting- a steady flight Into the wind Is a very hard thlnff. I have seen hots that to the unlnltlated.aecmed miracu lous on Brltuc eeMM, waa CHAHLE8 EVANS and yet the tiny ball sailed straight and true to Its destined place. Thcro Is almost never a day on these courses when the wind docs not blow the only question is how much or how little blast me' " '" usually a Unslng A golfer must learn to think of a wlndv Hy al nromll"B very Interesting golf ilm' V."1-',"' ,he tlme to 8how "man's skill.

Were we gifted with the eloquence of a Cordon Mackay, the steadi ness of n rirantland Itlco or the courage of a Hugh Kuilerton, we might properly present fntfts In a manner lifting tho story, but It's a gift, as the fellow says who stole second with tho bases loaded. When "Death Valley" .Ilm Scott Is nurs ing the corners of u trench In Joffre's France nnd a welcome order Is given to tack tho Stars and Stripes on Ulll the Kaiser's favorite chicken house he can Join In tho charge with tho thought that his final ap pearance In baseball for the present season was not without Its laurels. Jim twirled baseball for the White .Sox yesterday after Kaber was sent to the showers by Man ager Rowland and previous to his entrance Into the game Ty Cobb had NOT mado n hit. Ty had already secured a single In thirty-five consecutive games and needed but six to beat his major league record of forty straight. Jim's business was to try to win the ball game for the White Sox, as It would have kept them In first place, nnd ho tried so hard that Tyrus Raymond failed to hit. Fall of Cobb Yes that's the, story. Cobb fell by the wayside. For tho first time tn nearly six weeks tho P. I .llnotypers "dropped" an 0 In the third position of Ty's hit column, and. thereby bangs a tnlo. And John Gllmores proofreaders didn't even query It, cither. Must have figured It was about time, or maybo Perry Lewis "railroaded" the box Bcore. At any rate, wo extend sincere sym pathy to the Georgia peach. He still Is the most wonderful ball player In baseball, and with a wish that nil his future troubles will bo base hits wc will pass on to more pleas ant details. While Pat Moron's employes wero abso lutely refusing to win from Pittsburgh, tlavvy Cravnth succeeded In getting a rec ord of a safe blow In nineteen consecutive games. Cravath could do nothing with Al Mamnux, but when Carlson relieved the vetcrnn the big fellow came through with a pretty drlvo between King nnd Carey. Ho had two strikes and thrco balls on him nt tho tlmo nnd It was his final time at bat. Mnmaux Hits Mamaux did not sot tho world nflre with bis pitching, but ho hit consecutively In thrco visits to the plate, and they wero timely. Fisher had a pair of pretty drives and batted third, next to King, who played a splendid game In right field and tnllled two safeties. Paskert led tho Phil attack with a single, double and n triple. Hoston was hitting the rollers to Cleve land, nnd while tho White Sox dropped a 1 to I yerdlct to the Tigers, the second straight for the latter nnd the onlv viin.i.. on the homo lot against tho Sox, the Harry clan Jumped Into first position by a margin of four points.
