A Ui4-.nv.ri ivimute, J5ut oneni reaiment on ruxtcio Would Benefit Them in the Long Run . r, ?& ' v r AFTEK a day of rest and calm deliberation, 'we havo decided that Mr. Harrison umpires a ball eamo as well an the rhlllies piny it. To carry tho thought further, we believe that Mr. Harrison Is a bum umpire; or, to remove some of tho ting, we believe that the umplro had a couple of very bad dajs Friday and Satur day. Now, the man behind the plate may havo an off day and perhaps escape with hi life; but tho Phillies have had their ups and downs with several downs to very up for such a long tlmo that they are lucky to bo in tho league. Wo got to thinking of the pathetic scenes in this world of ours Inst Saturday as we watched the Phils toss away two ball games and Mr. Harrison's efforts to cam tho salary ( handed him by tho National League. There was nothing olso going on which Would Justify thlsklng, which shows what kind of gnmos they were. The Phils devoted tho entlro afternoon to "riding" the umpires and made things lew and uninteresting to tho spectators. Tho reclining army In tho Btnnds Just had to do something to keep awake, so tho recllncrs, too, aided and abetted tho efforts of the Patmorans to make It an Imperfect day for tho umps. In tho ninth inning of the first game Harrison missed a perfect third striko on Hornsby and the fireworks started. First came a shower of pop bottles, which fortunately inlased their mark, and Mr. Evcrs followed with tho heavy artillery. Mr. Evers Hied'' vivid and plcturesquo language and soon found himself wending his way cross tho field, canned for tho remainder of tho afternoon. Mr. EvcrB conducted himself properly whllo, marching to tho clubhouse, as he has had quite a llttlo experience In that line. Ho has been canned by experts. Then our Phils became convinced that they wero being Imposed upon and proceeded to go up In tho nlr o htgh that St. Loole won tho gamo beforo they descended. And Harrison was blamed for It all. . IN THE second combat Hennery O'Day was behind tho plato and got by In swell shape. Hennery is too old a bird to becomo excited In a pinch, and waves his ancient thumb with calm precision every tlmo the excite ment Is at Its height. Waving of tho digit means ono of two things tho man either Is out or out of the game. Ho finds llfo too short to spend it In useless arguments. ! Bl i sv& Why "Ride" the Umpire? It Upsets Players and Loses Games UT to return to the calm reflection stuff. What's the use In venting one's spleen, or whatever It Is, on tho umplro? Why should a ball club go to pieces and put up a bush league performance because It spends all of its tlmo deriding the man behind the plate? It Isn't good baseball, It isn't good sportsmanship and It Isn't a, square deal. On Saturday, wo admit that Harrison mado somo mistakes. But Is thero one of us who Is perfect? A lot of tho spectators Joined in tho "riding" and hurled verbal broadsides nt tho gestlculator from tho security of the grand stand. They forgot nothing and handed out tho "rawsbcrry" like a gang of r experts. Then they followed It up with tho pop bottlo fusillade Just to show that they wouldn't stand for a "raw deal." But what good did It do? Did It win the ball gamo? Absolutely not. The players got sore at tho umplro and tho umplro got sore nt tho players. Then the second-guessers In the grand stand got sore at both parties and a pleasant time was had by all NOT! And we began to dopo things out In an offhanded way of how unkind and even cnuel people can bo at times; people who ordinarily would not, dream of being unkind or cruel. Out on tho field wero two blue-clad human beings, men of intelligence and high standing in their profession, men Who were trying to earn their living and had dono their fellow men no wrong, hut who were being abusd llko pickpockets. These men possess keen sensibilities, nd do you suppose the "roasting" Improved their work? They wero maligned for trying to make a living and doing the work that not one person in the grand stand had-the nerve to do. Every time they made a slip or appeared to mako a slip fifty halry-wrlstcd, sunburned athletes took great pleasure in showing them up to tho crowd. The spectators were in no position to decide on tho play In question, but assumed that the players were right. "MX) MAN In the world can do decent work if ho is nagged and criticized ' every time he makes a move. No ball club can do good work If it , blames tho umpire and keeps on nagging all afternoon. It strikes us that the Phils will play better baseball If they cut out tho rough stuff and accept the rulings without question. Kicking does no good, aa the arbiter never changes his decision. Harrison cannot bo blamed for his poor work. , He is honest, is doing the best ho can, and If thero Is any objection send It to President Tcner. John K. appoints tho umpires. The Red Peril Is Latest Menace to Our Phillies WHILE this umpire baiting was going on Saturday, Cincinnati was winning " two games from Brooklyn. Tho Reds play baseball and pay llttlo attention to the men behind the plato and on tho bases. Whon Greasy Nealo mado that home run In New York recently and nai deprived of It because a spectator threw a ball into the field therp wasn't a kick registered. Tho batter started all over gain and cracked out jvhit Just tho same. He didn't ruin his batting eyo or upset his nervous system by "calling down" tho man who mado tho ruling. That is the spirit which wins ball, games and In a way explains tho sensational climb of Matty's team from obscurity to tho first division. The Reds are only half a game behind tho Phils today. St. Louis Is Just a hade below that. A defeat today at tho hands of tho Cards and a victory for Cincinnati will shove the locals down to fourth place. Tho rhlls aro facing a crisis, and even tho most loyal fans aro worrying about the future. After tho St. Loole aeries, which ends Tuesday, tho club goes West and takes on the four clubs there. Then they play Brooklyn, New York and Boston beforo returning to the home lot. Now, If the Phils can't win on their own grounds, what will they o abroad7 The pdds are against them. The club Is In a slump, and that's all there Is to it. Tho players-are trying hard all of the time, but can't get going. Their hearts are In their work and this causes the arguments with umpires. They want a fair deal a 60-50 break and use vocal methods to get It. But they are carrying it too far. If they "lay off" tha umps for a tlmo tho chances are that they will regain their stride and win a few ball games. pAT MORAN cannot be blamed for the poor showing of tho club. Ho Is working harder than ever with the men, and with any kind of luck hould get better than an even break. What ho should do, however Is preach the doctrine of fairness to his men and muzzle them for a few days It will be Just an experiment, and perhaps it will work. Oh, for,the Life of a Fireman Consider Jimmy Dunn mHOSErfwho have watched the dally workouts of Johnny Kllbano for his bout with Benny Leonard next Wednesday night havo nothing but a feeling of regret-not envy-for Jimmy Dunn, the champion's manager, trainer and sparring partner.

CHARLES EVANS thing oer eighty? WOULD llko to havo you say something about being oercoached. I hac about ten different things to try to remember be fore each shot I hae been told to look at the ground behind the ball for topping, to keep tho head still, left nrm hori zontal at . top of swing and right tho same at end of Bwlng; to hold club tight w 1 1 h left hand and only guide It with the right, etc. All this and more makes golf hard work. Don't ou think It'-would be much better to Just bo natural and try to hit the ball hard every time, leaving the good form for tho fel lows who aro not satisfied with any would. like to have mora dope on how to shoot under 100. A. V. S. Tho above letter embodies nn Interest ing and practical question. I have listened to golf Instruction by tho hour and watched the poor pupil working away and trying with wrinkled brow to keep In mind oil the things ho has been told. As I watched tho futllo effort, I havo often wondered just how I wouldlfco about teaching a be ginner, for my personal acquaintance with the game wa.s acquired in an entirely differ ent manner, for I learned my gamo as a boy by observation and Imitation, and my various faults I havo tried gradually to correct. ' I am convinced tint there Is too much detail In teaching. We all ought to know tho underlying principles, but detail varies with the physical conformation. It Is al nonsense to try to havo tightening sensa tions In tho left hand, to remember to keep your head so absolutely still and the vari ous other things that are so constantly recommended. Furthermore, It Is ntmost Impossible. Just grip the club with your fingers as It falls In your hand, and If you keep your eye on tho ball your head will be still. It Is best to bo as natural as possible and get up and hit tho ball, with thought, of course, but with a certain abandon, too. The golf swing Is a rhythmical stroke, and the rhythm Is spoiled by too many Jerky Ideas. Golf, of course, Is a difficult game, and even tho best players have their golden rule, but the whole thing is a process ot elimination, nnd you must take the rules most helpful to you. I have never achieved a good result by hitting my ball carelessly. Always I have a definite Idea in my mind. Perhaps I could make a distinction and say that one should hit the ball In a care free way, but not carelessly. Golf does require concentration and thought. My recipe for breaking a hundred Is Features of Sunday ball In the West In cludo nddlo1 Tlank and his 301st pitching victory, tho Indians' twenty runs against tho Athletics and the fact that Tyrus Raymond Cobb batted four times in thir teen Innings nnd did irot mako a safe single, whllo I'lpp, first baseman for the Yankees, mado four hits nnd started the rally thnt resulted In a 7 to C thlrtcen lnnlng victory for tho clan Donovan.
