Chris took that llocU of ham performers, Injected some pep nnd distributed kind words here nnd thero, and when this mis sionary work was over the men not only acted but played Illco regular big leaRuo athletes. Tho last time tho Reds were hero It was noted that they had everything but a ball club. The players went through their dally toll like a drowning sailor floating on a sponge In mldoceuit nnd exposed us much brain work as n trnlllo cop during the rush hours. They always did tho wrong thing nt the right time, and whenever they won a game It was because the opponents exerted all of their energy laughing themselves out ol shape. Their efforts were sad and pathetic', nnd every tlmo a man gut on base the only thing that could bring him homo was a home-run wallop. Hut enough of tho past. Times havo changed, and even a turning worm can turn Into n wildcat, as they Ray at I'ort Indian, Io. At any rate, Old Chris hns put over come swell stuff, and Factoryvlllo, l'a should honor him by giving him the keys ( tho city or a vole of thanks 111 t-omo-thing. Ho has lifted tho Cincinnati crowd out nf tho Joko class nnd now Is on tho list as a serious contender for tho pennant. Tho system ho used la a mystery. Matty blames it on his wrist watch, and that explanation ts ns good at any. The club ts winning ball games, and that ts the best answer any one can give. BUT any club which can boost Itn batting average from .230 to .267 In six weeks Is going to Just naturally climb. With the rlso In batting has come a spirit of self-confldenco and a belief that It can put tho skids under any team in tho league. The Rcdlcgs and Johwhj Evers Will lie With Us Today THE skidding Patmoruns will entertain tho Cincinnati clubber ut tho ball yard this p. m., and unless something startling happens our nine Is likely to havo ome hard luck. This Is not a wall of distress, but cold, hard dope w hu tever that Is. In sixteen starts, count 'cm, sixteen tho local losers have dropped eleven, tied ono nnd won four. That's not good business, y'understand. Mawruss, es pecially when wo are playing In our own back yard, with short fences and every thing. It probnbly Is Just a common or garden variety nildseason slu.tiii. but vhat tver It Is, the Phils are not making any ono nervous so far ns grubbing tho pen nant ts concerned. Thej havo been playing In such hard luck, however that It it etrange they copped even four games. Tho heavy hitters foozle In n pinch and ono mlsplay In tho field will turn tho tido tho other way. Tho only d"cint break they havo had in weeks was Saturday, when St. Loolo lost two games and remained In third place.' Johnny Evers will play today and Is slated to bo the big fish at the exercises which will be held In his honor. He is responslblo for "Evers Day," and some kind person will give him a iloral horseshoe orn traveling bag or something. He will replace Bert Niehoff at second and the fans look to him to put rome speed nnd fighting spirit In the infield. Perhaps ho will accomplish tho latter, but ho will nnd It hard to play up to the standard set by Niehoff. Bert Is a good ball player and qulto popular with tho fans. Every tlmo ho stopped up to the plate In the last few days thero has been a round of applause, and it Is with deep regret on the part of tho cash customers that he is about to pass out of tho picture. BUT all hope is not yet lost. Perhaps ho still will bo able to make his dally appearance, but in another position. Why not try him at first base nnd glvo I.uderus nchanco to rest his injured knee? Ludy has been in bad physical condition for somo time, but would not lay off for fear of weakening tho team. A week's rest would do him a world of good and relievo him of that constant worry which seems to have affected his play. Winning Spurt by Connie Macks Puts Them in Running Again WITH tho pitchers going good and the cloutcrs clouting tho ball as of yore, tho Athletics finally tumbled into a winning streak which caused undue excitement In tho baseball world. For a couple of years the A's havo been ridiculed by tho other seven clubs and allowed to exist solely because they helped their final standing by losing a flock of games. Connie Mack worked hard to kill this Impres sion and seems to have succeeded. Ho has a good ball club this year and la provlns It day after day. Early In tho season It could easily bo seen that tho stuff was thero nnd the only thing needed was a llttlo training. Inside baseball was foreign to them and ragged work In tho Infield was a daily feature. Connie and Harry Davis got together, however, nnd put the men through somo mental exercises which seemed to have a. good effect. Now they aro playing good base ball, despite the fact that another Icld slwrtstop had to be broken In. Speaking of youngsters. Connie's selections are going strong these days. Bates Is slugging the ball and Hoy Grovcr, who was looked upon as a lemon, Is playing the game of his life. Witt was going good until ho sprained his ankle, but Joo Dugan Is filling In like a veteran. By tho time tho Athletics return to their own playground on July 25 a well playing and smoothly working machine will bo In the field. . I THE acquisition of Jamlc&on from Washington strengthened the cluh considerably. Connlo has had hard luck with his right fielders, but It now looks as If ho had solved tho problem. BUI Johnson still Is being held In reserve to fill In. Is Ouimet an Amateur or Professional Golfer? THE strangest situation that ever faced tho golfing association In this country has resulted from tho victory of Francis Ouimet In the Western Golf Associa tion last Saturday. So far as tho United States Golf Association Is concerned, the Boston youth Is a professional Just as much as any of the professionals who teach golf and sell clubs. Tho Western Association says ho is an amatour Just as much as any other amateur in this country. So wo havo tho rather ludicrous situation of a player whom the national association regards as a pro fessional winning an amateur championship. But to compllcato matters more, tho United States Golf Association has nothing to do with the Western Golf Asso ciation. Each runs Its affairs In its own way. Tho national body can say who lire eligible to play In tho national amateur championship and that is about all. Next week a picked team of amateurs, headed by tho former national cham pion, Jerome D. Travrrs, will play for tho benefit of the lied Cross against tho home-bred English and Scotch professionals, and Travers. has risked Ouimet to play on his team. And hero again tho United States Golf Association has nothing to say, for tho event is under tho auspices of tho Professional Golfers' Asso ciation, which is In no way allied with tho national association. But golfers will wonder why It Is posslblo for nn eastern player, who Is not permitted to play in amateur events In tho East, to win tho western amateur champion ship; and how Is It posslblo to bo both un amateur and 11 professional at the same time? For some time the Western Golf Association has been In more or leas open revolt against tho national body, nnd It would seem that It has taken tho entry of Ouimet to force matters to a conclusion. T1 1HE United States Golf Association decided somo tlmo ago not to chango any of tho golf rulos until tho rules committee of tho St. Andrew's Club could be consulted, and as most of the committee aro fighting In tho trenches, this meant that nothing would be dono until tho war Is over. Yot tho Western Golf Association takes the matter into Its own hands and frame's a rule ollmlnatlng tho stymie, and then, finding that tho rulo does not work, calmly makos another one that seems to work all right. Many revolts have begun In the West, and what may be a merry golf war may result from the oction of the western golfers. Kilbane Due in the City Today JOHN PATRICK KILBANE, Mrs. John P. Kilbane and baby aro honoring tho city with their desirable presence. Tho featherweight king and his wife came East from their horro in Cleveland and nrrlved this morning. Johnny Is determined to leave no stono unturned In his efforts to properly fit himself for his coming duel with Benny Leonard at Shlbo Tark on tho !5th, and will at once set up quarters with Jimmy Dougherty at his spacious, healthful surround ings about Lelpervllle. Johnny Intends to adopt Battling Nelson's old method of dally visits to tho rl'er as a menns of helping his training. Tho old Battler made It a dally practice to row each day, nnd ho found it helped his wind wonderfully. Looking over the records of the contestants In the big bout It Is noted that July Is an off month for those two sterling scrappers. Outside of tho Brooklyn bout last year, between Leonard and tho former champion, Welsh, tho month of July does not appear In either boy's record, going back sevprnl years. Both men were born during the month of April Johnny on the 18th in 18S9, and Leonard on the 17th In 1896. It will be seen that Johnny has a number of year the lead over the lightweight boss. Both men are recorded officially as being five feet five Inches. Benny was born In New York, and won his title at home; while Kilbane was born In the sixth city and had to travel almost to the edge of the Pacific Ocean to win from Attell. All Indications point to a huge attendance. A letter at hand from a sportsman of Trenton, N. J., states that a good delegation of the sporting element of that town will be on hand. Tfie folks In the Jersey capital are denied the pleasure of bouts at home. The average sportsman's mind Is set for such a match as the Kilbane Leonard bout, and It Is certain that all will take advantage of the opportunity. The fact fhat the boys will be started early, giving the out-of-town spectators a chance to get homo before the milkman, Is a drawing magnet In itself. Fans are assured of this early start, and if any fear transportation troubles they can dismiss - the thought and attend the greatest card k s6CtI0ns.

This goes for fans from nil EVENING --7? TTp ARE " EXTRA HOLE MATCHES THAT HAVE MARKED GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY AND ABROAD WHn.V Ned Sawyer defeated Itohert Markwell, ono of the Yale University golf stars, on tho forty-second hole In tho west ern amateur golf championship, ho estab lished a new mark In this country for long dlstanco matches. Sawyer has been tho herntir victim of moro than one extra hole match. Way back In 190C ho won tho western title for the first time by defeating Warren K. Wood, Inter n national finalist, on tho thirty-seventh hole. In 1909 he in turn was beaten In the tecond round of the national amateur after n match that went thirty-eight holea by Chandler Hgan. Last year for the first time tho national amateur was played In Philadelphia, with tho Merlon Cricket Club as the scene of tha conflict. Sawyer met John G. Ander son, twlco a national runner-up, In the first match and. playing the thirty-sixth hole, tho westerner was dormle one, but the hole went to Anderson. 1)11 the thirty-seventh Sawy-T rimmed the cup for a half. Curiously enough. It was a Phlladelphlan who Is on record a having been tho first man In .1 national championship to go extra holes In a national championship. We are discussing thirty-six-hole matches. In 1898, when there were but two courses In the Philadelphia district, a. I. Kowle, of the Philadelphia Country Club, defeated II. P. Toler, tho famous Princeton football player of tho lato elghtiiK. on the thirty-seventh hole at tho Morris County Golf Club. Then, to show that It was no lluke, he won his next match on the thirty-seventh hole from Jasper Lynch. Wins on Fortieth Hole Tho following yonr Walter Fairbanks, one of tho oldest men playing very flno golf today nnd for years the best man In Col orado, tot n new mark when he defeated J. F. Curtis on the fortieth hole In the same round C. P. Ltneaweaver, of the Phila delphia Country Club, won from Jasper Lynch on tho thirty-seventh hole. A. G. Lockwood. ono of the best players in' the Boston dtBtrlct and three times the cham pion of Massachusetts, equaled Fairbanks' record In 1900, when he won from J. Held, Jr. on the fortieth hole at the Harden City Golf Club. Then, to show the curious side of golf, ho In turn was beaten by Walter J. Travis by the very one-sided score of 11 up and 10 to play. The first tlmo there was an extra-hole match In tho semifinals was tho following year, when Travis won from Flndlay Doug las, ono of the first men to win tho title, on the thirty-eighth hole. Travis then won the final match. In 1903 thero were several extra-hole matches, and thu longest match on record In a national championship was that between Travis and II II. Wilder, an other of tho Massachusetts cracks. Travis was dormle three, but tho llay State player squared the match on tho last green and tho contest went to the forty-first hole lc foro tho old man was able to win. Kbcn llycrs, a former national champion, won his match from John M. Ward tho old ball player, on the fortieth hole, and In the semi finals Max Behr trimmed Fred Herreshoff on tho thirty-seventh hole. Victor of Two Long Matches W. n. Tuckerman, for years the most prominent player in the District of Colum bia, was the winner of two extra-hole matches In 1910, defeating F. A. Martin nnd Harold Weber on tho thirty-seventh green. Sovon extra-hole matches marked the 1911 championship. C. W. Inslee began It by win ning a nlneteen-holo match fromEben Byers. nnd followed It with a thirty-seven hole victory over F. A. Martin. Fred Herreshoff beat S. G. Stlckney on the thirty-seventh green, while Chic Evans defeated Albert Seckel, another of tho former western cham pions, on the thirty-eighth hole. The first extra-hole match and tho only ono over played In the final was between Herreshoff and Harold Hilton. It was an unfortunate extra-holo match, for Hilton's ball hit a rock in the rough nnd bounded on tho green, turning victory for HerreMioft Into a defeat Incidentally It was the only time that a for eigner ever won the amateur championship of this country. There were two extra-hole matches In 1912. Albert Seckel, n former western tltleholdcr beat Insleo on the thirty-seventh, and Hamilton Kerr, who Is now In the army, trimmed Paul Hunter, a former western champion. This tournament was played nt the Chicago Golf Club and was featured by the presence of two British cracks, Hilton and Norman Hunter. Hilton was beaten In the first round. Hunter, after defeating W. P. Smith, of the Philadelphia Country Club, was forced to default to Warren K. Wood because of the Intense heat. In 1913 the longest match was won by Paul Hunter after twenty-three holes of strenuous golf. Chick Evans won a thirty nine hole from Byers. while Travis was the victor In a thirty-eight-hole match against Fraser Hale. The following year Travis won on the thirty-seventh from Harold Weber, while W.

Vnnflerbeck, of tho Philadelphia Cricket, who. with Miss Fran ces urlscom, has tho honor nf being tho only Phlladelphlan to win tho women's championship, has tho honor of winning tho longest match on record In tbls coun try. In 1915. when she won the title, she defeated Miss Alexa Stirling, tho present champion, who defeated Miss Mildred Cav erly, of Philadelphia, In tho final last year after twenty-two holes of strenuous golf. Miss Stirling squared the match on tho homo green. Tho four hyp holes were played In a driving rainstorm and Mrs. Vanderbeck proved she was the better mud horse. Other Phlladelphlans have figured In twenty-hole matches. Mrs. J. F.

I think sin. words on this subject might go a l"iig way toward curing a possi ble evil In golf. J. !: i-AItnWKLL. To a caddv. the most wonderful man In the world Is the golfer who employs him. Tho lltth- fellow usually comes from n homo where money Is not plentiful. He Is necustomed to see Ing his father leave early for work and return homo late. Young as ho Is. he has realised the pinch of poverty. With his c a d d y money bo has paid for his own clothes for a long time, and a nickel looks larger to him than a dollar does to a man. It may be that ho Is a country lad who has walked a long distance to CHAP.LE3 KVANd reach the golf course. To him the clubman, with his good clothes, his flno golf bag nnd clubs, his now balls and swift nnd shining automobile Is a wonderful Image of success; his conduct and his lan guage are, of course, to bo Imitated. Years later tho boy's Ideal of success may change, but at that tlmo of his life the clubman, the star golfer, tho professional and tho caddy master nre tho real examples ho bets him self to Imitate.

At that time of his llfo the great golfers are marvelous beings I well remember that when I was a small boy the very names of big golfers wero something to bo gloated over In se cret, and a smile or a nod from them put me In tho seventh heaven of delight. There can bo no doubt of the Influenco of these players upon tho caddies. All along the lino thero Is a great responsibility, but as tho skilled players nnd professionals are few, the greatest Influence Is (hat of tho average golfer. Picks Up "Cuss Words" I remember when I was a caddy I learned more "cuss words" from one club member than I would have been able otherwise to collect In tho course of a long life. I used to wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of certain members, nnd not a word they said escaped my listening ear. It would bo hard for many a caddy to say how many times ho had been sworn nt because his employer had missed a shot, or how many clubs he had seen broken In rage fiom the samo Important cause. Older people know that all golfers are not careless, but, unfortunately, it is the exaggerated exceptions that mako the deep, est Impressions upon the boy, and for that reason the less the boya see of the club house and tho nineteenth hole tho better.

DRAFTING QUALIFICATIONS, FEW BASEBALL PLAYERS WOULD PASS I Bad Feet and Legs and Spike Injuries Also to Be! Figured Kecruitmg ance Ratio One Dy GHANTLAND RICE JUST what effect the forthcoming draft will have upon baseball la not yet out lined for public consumption. Wo have heard two definite propositions stated. First. That no ball players would be drafted. Second. That any ball player drafted would bo given until October to report. The last proposition may bo true. The flnt doesn't sound reasonable. Ball play ers will'undoulitedly be treated just as other citizens. It may be the exemption board will try nnd figure things out In such a wny that no one r'ub will be unduly broken up while others 1 'e no valuable flesh. It imy be lo that any players drafted, especially Mm p who have been drilling In tho Ameiii.iii League, will be given until October to ri i rt. For by October they will bo far better drilled than any rooklo se cured In August or September. But ns theio nre any number of unmar ried ball players between the ages of twenty-one and thirty viio are in first-class phys ical shape, many of theso will bo called from tho diamond toward tho trench and many moro will very likely go after the season Is over. Physical Conditions One expert of the game who has been fol lowing baseball for more than twenty years says that very few will bo accepted for physical reasons. Ills Idea Is that most ball players havo gnarled or broken lingers, nnd that good fingers are nmong tho essentials for mili tary service. He says also that any number of ball players havo been badly spiked or cut at ono time or nnother, and that few will bo found with feet and leg3 In proper condition for service. "I talked with a recruiting sergeant nbout this baseball problem," he said, "and I was Informed that tho sergeant In question had examined moro than twenty supposedly flno physical specimens, and that for reasons as signed above only one could be accepted by tho army" Just how far n broken, twisted or gnarled finger would flguro In elimination wo do not know. Most ball players have this defect. Hut until they actually como up for army examination tho correct status will not be known. Army and Sport It Is a queer fact that nny number of athletes who might bo football, baseball or tennis stars cannot pass the army examlna, tlon. And many others who, physically, nre hardly considered husky enough for foot ball or baseball or tho ring, aro O. K. In tho Kha'ffl League, We know several husky citizens, athletc3 In training only a brief while back, who havo been dropped out at various quarters arranged for tho officers' reserve corps. In some cases old football or baseball Injuries that had been forgotten brought disqualification when tho long biking and tho grind of the drill began to get In Its work. Yet training In sport has mado It far easier for those who wero retained. Thoso necustomed to hard excrclso havo found the military training easy enough to stand where upon others, unusucd to a llfo In tho open, tho routine fell with a stunning crash. A man, for example, who plays a good many sets of tennis a week or who plays golf with fair frequency takes but little tlmo to got In fine shape for tho hiking and drilling. Johnny Overton or Howard Berry Take for leading Illustrations tho cases of Johnny Overton and Howard Berry. Overton has been training several years for cross-country runs and mllo sprints. A cross-country hlko would be nothing to him. Howard Berry has been playing football nnd baBeball nnd In between Indulging In a llfo upon tho track running, Jumping nnd tho like. A day or two and he could stand any physical ordeal. Another Side But ono athlete put the matter to us In another way. "It Isn't the matter of physi cal ability," ho said, "but It Is often a mat ter of nerves. I don't mean that one may bo nfrald. But In sport you get direct com petition and there Is always a variety.
