FAIRVAV CS J?, . . tPlkA JKls T kiCfh&Ad " I UNLESS tho St. Louis Cards run Into hard luck or the Phils perk up and win a couple of battles today, tho prides of our cfty aro likely to bo roostlns In third place In the National League raco beforo tho golden sun sinks In tho west. A glance through tho won and lost department shows that tho St. Loolo crowd Is only a shado below tho Men of Moran and likely to step up a notch at any moment. Also, by" using tho onco over a second tllno, It will bo noted that tho Cincinnati club Is within hailing distance of tho top and going strong. All of which presages ome rough and rugged times for tho l'hlls unless they rcsumo their winning stride and cop a few battles. They should have grabbed both ends of the double-header yesterday, but lost cut because of ono boncheod play which savors strongly of tho Concrete League. It was a repetition of tho Mcrklc episode back In tho dark ages, but differed In that Fred has a good excueo for not touching second. I'oakert can offer no alibi for not touching first baso In tho first inning of the second gamo after ho slammed the ball against tho left field wall. It was n clean hit, and a man of Dodo's speed should have mado third easily beforo tho ball was returned to tho diamond. But Faskert hit tho ball, stood and watched it, meandered to first with all of the speed and determination of a guy going to have a tooth pulled, and then broke Into a canter whon tho ball fell safe. From where wo were sitting It looked as If ho Were disappointed becauso tho ball did not drop Into tho bleachers for a home run, and whllo ho was sympathizing with himself ho forgot nil about first baso. That ono boner lost tho game for the Phils. Dcmareo was ready to take a trip In tho clouds, as that wallop at the start was enough to make him nervous. Ho aid not recover until tho third inning, and tho chances are that he would havo been chased to tho bench had Paskert watched himself. Tho next four men hit tho ball hard, but their drives were gathered In by Cy Williams. THE first thing Demarco did after the gamo was to shako hands' with Dllhoefer, tho kid catcher. It was Dllly who discovered that Dode had not, touched tho bag and drew tho attention of Ihe umpires to It. After that tho put-out was easy. Fred Merklo saw tho latest tragedy of tho diamond from his post nt first base. Ho then welcomed Paskert as a brother member of the Concrcto Circuit. Gavvy Cravath Is Slipping Just Like Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker THE one bright, shining light of yesterday's matinee was the work of Gavvy Cravath. Tho veteran won tho first gamo with his trusty bat, and tried hard to start something in tho second when ho scored tho first legitimate hit off Demarec. But his playmates fell down on (he Job nnd all of his good work went for naught. Once upon a time the mere mention of Cravath's name as a fielder brought on gusts of riotous laughter from tho Innocent bystanders. Havo you .watched the old boy carefully this year? Ho has It on tho other right fielders wo have seen at Broad and Huntingdon streets and his defensive game Is of tho highest standard. Yesterday ho made two beautiful running catches which killed a pair of hits and his work on ground balls Is exceptionally good. He uses his head at all times, and often holds tho runner on the baso when he makes a bluff at catching a ball which Is sailing in tho direction of tho sign boards or Is about to fall short. No other fielder can get away with that stuff. It takes nn artist to pull it. Gavvy did not want to play In the big leagues this year. He had his heart et on managing a club on tho coast, and when that deal fell through ho signed a contract to play as a pinch hitter. Ho nnd President Baker came to.tcrms without trouble, for Gavvy Is an easy man to do business with. He knows what ho Is worth and that's all there Is to it. He went South nnd practiced with tho other p players, but It was more of a pleasure trip than anything else. He did not worry about his Job, helped tho youngsters In every way possible and had a good time. TVhen the season opened ho still felt that he was only filling In for a time, until he suddenly awoke to find that ho was ono of tho stars of tho league and his work was doing a lot to keep tho team In tho rare. GAWY never tells an admiring audience how good he Is or acts as If ho were the man who Invented baseball. He went on his quiet, unassuming way, playing every day and getting his base hits, tho same as any rookie In tho squad. But work like that could not go unrewarded. President Baker Rewards Cravath With $1000 Raise IAST week President Baker sent for. him. Cravath went up to the office and was J surprised when Baker tossed over a legal-looking document. "What's this?" aBkcd Gavvy. "Nothing, only a new 'contract which I want you to sign," replied the presi dent. "You havo been doing such good work that I havo decided to raise your alary $1000 for tho year. You remember, wo had an understanding that you would receive a bonus If you played In a'certaln number of gomes, nnd Instead' of waiting until tho end of tho season I thought It would bo best to give It to you now. You certainly deservo It." Gavvy attached his name to tho paper and went back to his dally toll in tho ball yard. He said nothing nbout tho raise he received, nnd It was Just through accident that It was discovered. Another veteran on the club who Is playing good ball Is Bert Nlehoff. Bert Is not a showy performer, but he .usually does his share of work and In his phleg matic way covers a lot of ground. In tho first game ho took care of ten chances without a foozlo and accepted three In tho second. In addition to that, he went after everything and several times leaped In the air. Just missing sharp singles sailing Into right field. In tho tenth Inning ho made an almost impossible catch of Dllhoefer's liner over second, and would have completed a sensational double play had he been in position to throw the ball to Stock. JOHNNY EVEBS will be here Monday to take Nlehoffs place, and the Trojan will have to work better than at any other time this year to fill his shoes. Thero Is no doubt that Johnny will speed up the infield nnd Inject some new life, but his fielding and batting must improvo If ho wants to stick around that keystone sack. Civilization Is Safe Manager Says Umpire Is Right SOME rich business marked tho twin battle In New York Thursday when Matty's Rollicking Reds rudely smashed tho Giants' mad winning streak, prominent among same being the acccptanco of an awfully distressful situation In umpiring by the Red leader without a murmur, and tho likewise unusual Inci dent of a player knocking a homo run and a single In ono Inning In "one time at bat." Also equally remarkable, a manager was applauded by an opposing audi ence for good sportsmanship on the Meld. The New York scribes were all aghast over tho main episode, but there was apparent an evidence of the esteem In which the local manager Is now held by home critics. To more than hint at tho situation would be superfluous. The former managerial Idol Is perfectly nameless at present In tho homo print, which situation corresponds with tho playful llttlo custom known nt West Point us the "silent treatment," Indicating kindly sollcltudo and tender regard. But this Is nn aside. The notable features of trie unique episode selected as tho subject of these remarks aro thus described by Bill McGeehan, of the Tribune: "The incident occurred in the fourth Inning. With tho score tied, Hal Chase singled and went to second on Griffith's out. Nealo was at bat and Polonlus Perrltt Was winding up when some fan seated behind third base tossed a ball into the infield. O'Day raised his hand, but Perrltt hurled the ball and Nealo hit It. As Ball Sails Away, Heinle Zim Protests THHE ball soared far out to center Held and bounded against the fence, while - Neale dashed on for a homo run, scoring Chase ahead of him. Heinle Zim merman dashed up to Umpire O'Day, offering the extra baseball In evidence. "'Hey, Hank,' called Heinle, 'that there homer ain't legal, A guy up there throws this here ball In and crabs It.' " 'What was the reason?" asked Mathewson. The Reds crowded around O'Day, thirsting for his gore, while Heinle Zimmerman licked his chops. The dream of his life was about to be realized. He was to be present when an umpire was slain In cold blood. "O'Day explained. TVe'll, I guess you are right,' said Mathewson. He turned on his heel and without even looking around to growl went back to the Reds' dugout and sent Chase and Neale back into the game. Heinle Zimmerman howled like a timber wolf robbed of his prey. The multitude was mute with astonishment." FDR the first time since the origin of the great American pastime the decision of en umpire In a tight place was allowed to go unquestioned. It was a great achievement for .civilization. Red Stole Third With the Bases Jammed RED McKEE, former catcher for Detroit and now backstop for San Francisco, stole third with the bases full In a r'ecent game with Salt Lake City. Base .hall's rnost famous bone, even Including Fred Merkle's well-known play, Js making McKee a hero out West. "Red" was on second, when the Idea came to him to practice running in case he had a chance to go "somewhere In France." He forgot to see If there were comrades on the sacks when this happy thought tame to him, and got set for a flying start. As soon as Tom Hughes started to wind up he set out for third. Hughes saw him start digging for the bag, and it so upset him that he stopped his wind-up to watch howled would make out. Perhaps Hughes's intentions were for the best, but the umpire called a balk on him and McKee was saved. Koerner, McKee'a ImiiiiiiIi oa third, remained glued to the bag when lied storied his memorable ' kuu, m4 m tmUimU'! baUc McKee mi.At.Mvt. been out of a Job as a ball player.

Tha Plymouth Country Club tennis team will make Its ofllclal appearance in a Tri stato Leaguo match at Norristown this afternoon. Thero aro no regular Suburban League or Trlstate League matches sched uler, as this is one of tho "off" days fo tho players. The Cynwyd team has virtually won the Trlstate League championship for the "B" teams. Bclfleld has clinched the "A" divi sion title. Cynwyd will lino up with Nor man Swayne, Paul Olbbons, Charles JC.

REDS HAVE FOUND IN LEADERSHIP OF OLD MASTER "THAT SOMETHING NEEDED TO GUARANTEE SUCCESS Without Furore or Clamor Former Great Twirler Has Introduced Both Leadership and Morale; Jess May Fight, But Hardly Germans By GRANTLANI) RICE , Songs the Soldiers Sing You'll rarely ever find him humming A song of war and battle bold; I'oit'H rarely ever hear him strumming A lilt set in heroic mould; For when he finds the big job grating Upon his nerves across the foam, He'd rather sing of some one waiting Back at a place called Home, Sweet Home. You'd think beforo some miahty battle, Surrounded by the conflict's roar, He'd make the far-flung echoes rattle Witty songs of carnage and of gore; You'd think, with wild enthusiasm He'd give vtnt to his final breath With something in a vocal spasm That ended "Victory or Death!" But when he hears the dusk winds bringing Some old dream from the heart of June, The chances arc yonli hear him singing Some long-forgotten foolish tune , Somethinq to rhyme with summer posies Of blue eyes and the twilight gloam, Of lips red with the blood of roses Back at a place called Home, Sweet Home, MATHEWSON', the pitcher, had some thing else beyond a wise head and n great arm. When Matty was working, even when he was the victim of a hostile fusillade, his mates seemed to bo playing steadier, harder ball back of his pitching than they were able to play for any one else. He had tho knack of Inspiring his club with additional confidence. The morale around him was at Its best Mathewson, the manager, seems to have the same knack with tho Beds. Without any furore or upheaval or clamor he has at last given tho Bed machine the morale It has never known. The men havo been giving their best, hammering away with all tho artillery they have at hand. Mathewson has only completed a year SINGLES AND BUNGLES An Ode to Dode There ain't no chance to heat this bone. Said Fred to Mao one day.

He hit the ball mile and loot the lilt because he failed to touch llmt base. And Fred Merkle remarked! "I em etlll one better than you. Once I failed to touch eecond." Bill Killefer made a great catch ot Mann's foul (n the filth inning of the first game, lie ran back of first base to grab the ball. Bert Nl'ehoff played a awell same yesterday. Ha tried for everything and made many atart llnr playa. Evera will have to so some to set that Job. Dode Paskert thinks no more of a base hit than he does of his left eve. lie will touch first base in the future. Dodge Taskert robbed Merkle of a home run In the fourth Inning of the aecond game when he leaped Into the air ana knocked down the ball with his bare hand. Fred waa Hopped at aecond. Cy Williams made up for his bum atlekwork of the past In the nrst game. He got four safeties out of four tripe to the plate. Up to yesterday he had made but one hit in the Phils' grounds this year. Didn't miss Bancroft so moch, after all. Stock Is a swell shortstop. George Whltted slipped, fell down and arose In time to catch Merk'e's fly In the sixth lnntng ot the eecond game. Oawy Cravath's eighth home run waa a strange wallop. The ball hit the railing, bounded Into the bleachers and then fell Into the field. An appeal waa made to Umpire Rlgler, and Charley allowed the home run. Demaree fanned Kliey, Paskert and Cyme In the sixth.

JAFFE- AFTER breaking up a perfectly lisltl xjl. mate circus act, Ever Hammer, the blond, bristling battering-ram from Chi cago, Is here from the wild and woolly to seek rest and quiet. Hammer fought him self out of a Job and crimped a. wonderful drawing "meetlng-all-comers" stunt by knocking out so many opponents around the circuit that he left a trail-like damage done by a forty-two centermeter. Ever Hammer was covering the field on the other side of the Mississippi with some circus or other, and knocked out his halt a. dozen or more opponents afternoonly and nightly In one and two rounds. One Friday night It took Hammer three rounds to stop a tough guy In Oshkosh or some such town, and tha people raved It was a "frame." Finally, It became so that set-up guys couldn't be paid to enter the ring with Ever, and the act went floole. Hammer was out ot a Job, Now he is In Philadelphia to enjoy the life of a gentleman of leisure for a while before preparing to take on the best, the very best and otherwise light weights. Hammer Is unknown to Philadel phia fans, as he has boxed only twice In the East, being opposed to Johnny O'Leary and Shamus O'Brien, at Boston last year. However, Ever Hammer has boxed some of the leading boxers In the country. In cluding Johnny Dundee, Benny Leonard, Fred Welsh, Ad Wolgast, Joe Welling and others. f TTH'EIl HAMMER Is one of'those tear J ' lng-ln, ever-hammering boxers. Benny Leonard says that Hammer hurt hlra more than any other man he ever boxed.
