TODAY Is get-away day for tho Phils. Tho Cards mako their final nppearanco in

for St. Louis, where they open a homo stay with the Braves. Our Phils will hlko
themselves off for a tour of several weeks. On Thursday they open a series at
Cincinnati nt a tlmo when the Giants will be playing the Cubs on Wceghman Field.
Matty's boys are traveling hard, In fact they aro flying, and Chicago was easy for
the Giants on the eastern trip. After the games in Cincinnati tho Phils movo to
fit. Louis, while the Giants tackle the Pirates. More trouble nnd hard work. Chi
cago follows tho Reds and Cards, New York visiting Cincinnati. Pittsburgh comes
next for the Phils, then n series with tho Hravcs. St. Louis may give tho Giants
trouble while tho Quakers are playing tho Pirates, but by tho tlmo this series is

rpHE first line of trenches is virtually a bed of roses compared to tho

to Pennantville. Soveral seasons back the Braves did not have aa good a
show as have" the Phils nt this tlmo nnd thcro Is no necessity for hauling

EMERSON STARS
IN JUNIOR TENNIS
East Orange Youth Will
Meet Blankarn in Finals
Today at St. Martins
CYNWYD IS ELIMINATED
Gerald Emerson, of the Glenwood Club,
East Orange, N. J was tho particular star
of the Junior tennis tournament held at tho
Philadelphia Cricket Club, St. Martins, es.
tcrday afternoon. Emerson qualified to
meet Donald R. Blankarn, of Pitman, N. J
In tho final round of play to decldo the en
trant to qualify for the center champion
ships net month.
Emerson Is one of the newcomers In ten
nis among tho Juniors. He won his first
match by default, but showed his worth
when he beat Carl Fischer, of tho Cynwyd
Country Club, one of tho best of the
younger players in this section, In two
straight Bets, 6-3, 6-1, The East Orange
youth will remain hero to play in the Stato
championship, starting next Saturday.
Blankarn, who halls from Pitman, N. J
Is another promising youngster. He de-
fcated Kamerly, of the Cricket Club, Is a
first-round match, and then met Roy March,
of Cynwyd. March had previously defeated
Newton Beck In a two-set match, 0-2, 7-6.
Blankarn was too strong for the Cynwyd
player, who was eliminated in two sets,
6-1, C-4.
Emerson and Blankarn will meet in the
final round of the event, the winner to play
In the event on August i. this morning on
the Philadelphia Cricket Club courts.
In the semifinal round of the round robin
tournament which Is being brought to a
close, Herman Dornhetro, of the Frankford
Country Club, had a, hard battle with Mar
shall Vanneman, Jr., the clever Cynwyd
Country Club player. Dornhelm won this
match by the scores 6-3, 8-6, 6-2. lie
showed wonderful Improvement in his ten
nis and, as Vanneman was also playing a
great game, Dornhelm had to play the
limit to win.

In It Just the same. Bill Wagner, who Is
closely related to Johnny Ilonus by name,
did thn dirty work, In collaboration with
Wilbur Cooper.
Wilbur Is a frail-looking lefthander,
nboiit tho size of a scldel. but tho Glnnts
could not hoak his t-outhpawlng They
made one vicious rush nt him In tho flrat
frame, and finding It wan no use, they
began enjoying their leisure.
It was a nice little left-handed workout
for them by way of tuning up for Ruth
or Williams In the opening frame of the
world's series, although, of course, they
will have, to do more hitting against tho
redoubtnble Babe or Williams than they
did against Wilbur If they expect to win.
Wilbur not only pitched the Giants to
a low whisper, but he alro crushed in tho
winning tally In tho eighth Inning Bill
Vngncr knocked a two-bagger to tho
right field wall over Dave Robertson's
head, and rode lioine in great stato aboard
a double by Wilbur.
Roush Secures Four Out of Five
Eddie Roush had ono of his good days
In the matinee won by tho Reds, the victory
oerl ast year's National League champions
giving them a three-point lead over the
Cardinals and a live-point advantage over
tho Phillies. Roush secured two singles,
a pair of doubles nnd a stolen base. Jim
Thorpe played In left field and made ono
out of four. King Kopf, formerly of the
A s, made a homo run off Smith.

In the Tencr circuit Crulso failed to hit

four Bill Fischer did not get into the
i ii.ur-.- iorK game, nans Wagner play
ing first, securing ono out of thre'e.
and Grimth, of Cincinnati, passed n quiet
afternoon, getting but one out of four.
Mnrnnville's Dash Beats Cubs
With the bases clogged In tho last half
of the thirteenth inning of tho Cubs-Braves
game, "Rabbit" Maranvlllo took a chanco
on Kelly's fly to Leslie Mann In short left
field and scored the run that won for
Boston. It was tho sixth consecutive victory
over the Mitchell aggregation nnd another
feature was the Information that Ed Walsh,
tormeny or the Chicago Americans, had
Joined tho Stalllngs Crowd.
There Is no change today In tho American
League, as neither tho White Sox nor Red
Sox have a batter listed In tho first five.
Splendid fielding behind Williams saved
the game for tflo Comlskey crowd, who In
creased their lead to nearly fifty points.
Felsch starred at the bat. He batted 1.000.
"Hap" made two singles, a double and a
triple In four times at bat. Eddie. Collins
had ono out of four and Lewis nnd Scott,
for Boston, each Becured a pair of safeties,

Third Position
..... .. 1.ka Vtaa
IN THE naming or an star ciuus u ..
always been one rabid debate of undue
proportions. ...
This has been the naming of tho tnira
outfielder.
There has nover been any argument, re
buttal, question or doubt about tho first
two.
Ty and Trls have been accepted mechan
ically. They were beyond nil rivalry and all
discussion. One merely had to put tho fig
ures on display and end tho pollto chit-chat
of tho occasion.
But naming their running mate, or field
ing mate, for the open Job has been another
matter. And It still Is,
Thcro was a time when Joo Jackson was
batting .408 nnd .395 when Joseph horned
Into tho select potpourri by maclng his way
In with tho old ash furniture.
Jackson battlt'g .408 nnd .39E could not
be overlooked when tho basic value of tho
base hit was figured In. For a bato hit
never gets below par.
But Jackson batting under .300 was an
other matter. Tho Carolina swntsman had
to range ahovo .340 to bo placed upon even
terms of aluo with others batting under
.300. For the greater part of his value
has always been as n batsman, not as a
fielder or base runner.
In the Grabbag
Last season It looked as If Davo Robert
son would take his place with tho two elect.
Davo apparently had everything needed
the wallop, tho speed and tho arm. But
.Dave has failed to hold his high place
with tho supcrentrlcs. This season ho has
been driven back by half a dozen who havo
passed on beyond him.
Reaching Into tho grnbbag, several names
come out.
Tho most valuablo outfielders .In the
American League for a third choice nro
Bob Vcach. of Detroit; Felsch, of Chicago;
Milan, of Washington, and Lewis nnd
Hooper, of Boston.
Hooper Is tho star outfielder of this lot,
but batting under .250 lets him out.
Felsch is a grand outfielder, ono of tho
bent, but he, too, Is now under .25. Lewis
Is another bird of brilliant plumage, but
be, too, Is well below. 300. Veach and Milan
are tho only two poised nround tho .300
plntcau. And it would bo hard to pick a
star outfielder to movo with Cobb and
Speaker batting below this mark.
In the National
Names to bo considered In tho National
