;Gorinie's Team Wins Two Games, But Later
. Allows Opponents to Walk Away With Them;
Kilbane More Popular Since Defeat
TF THE American League race were close, with Detroit fighting for the lead,
the members of our Athlotlcs club would bo tnken out and shot at sunrise.
More than that, the other flag contenders would be yelling their heads off charging
fake and writing Ban Johnson to repudiate the two games won by the Tigers last
Saturday. If ever a couple of combats wero handed to an opposing club on a
liver platter, It happened at Shlbe Park. Twice In the same afternoon the Mack
Men won a ball game, only to lose It at the end. Tho home team outclassed the
Visitors In every department, but that wasn't enough. They should have outclassed
them three or four times to win the games. It was pathetic and sad, for no club
ver put up such a miserable exhibition.
Joe Bush obliged In tho first set when, after holding Detroit safe for eight
Innings, he exploded with a loud and lusty bang nud allowed five runs co cross tho
pan. Of course, Joo wasn't entirely to blame. All ho did was to give three bases
on balls, make two extremely wild pitches and allow two healthy hits. Outside
of that he was all right. But Joseph seemed to have lost his bend In that final
Inning and while worrying about his hard luck went to pieces. However, all
pitchers are likely to do this, and they do It when least expected.
But the second game, which was presented to Hughey Jennings by Wally
Bchang. was terrible. Wally Is a swell batter and plays a good game In the out
field, but behind the bat he cannot be classed with tho top-notchers. In tho
alxth Inning, when Donle Bush was on third, ho had a passed ball. While he
Was rushing after It Bush started home. Schauer ran to tho plato and was In
Position to catch the ball for a putout, but Wally didn't throw It. Instead, he
tried to tag the man himself, and as a result missed htm by a couple of minutes.
The play was Inexcusable and saors strongly of bonehead work.
ANOTHER time, with men on first and third, an attompt was made to
. steal second. Wally hurled the ball, but no one was there to take
tho throw. Either tho signals wore mixed or there weron't any, for Dugiu.
made a quick stab, got the ball and the man on third ambled home. Those
two runs won the game.
Connie Mack Is Building Up Good Team Despite Bonehead Plays
TjTOR the first time In three years tho Athletics look like a good ball club. Tno
men are hitting tho ball hard, fielding their positions well and occasionally
pulling some Inside stuff which reminds one of the great machine of old. The work
done by the team proves that Connie has been on tho job, and It seems a shame
that all of this good work can bo spoiled by a couple of bun plays. The A's
hould have won both games Saturday, thus giving them four out of six Tfielr
tandlng in the league would have been boosted above the .400 mark and rnoro
pfrlt Instilled Into tho men. It must bo discouraging to Connie when everything
Is hot to pieces like that. But he cannot play the games; all ho can do is to tell
the .men to carry out his orders.
In the second contest everything was working smoothly until Schang got In
bis work. Some Inside stuff was pulled when, with the bases clogged, Grover
jot away with tho squeeze play and surprised tho foe to such an extent thut two
runs scored. The base-running was all that could be desired and the team looked
real. Cobb waa held to only one hit and the others were In the same boat. But
one of the breaks In tho game appeared and, as usual, tho homo folks got the
book. Every time a situation arose where a bum play would help Detroit, that
bum play waa made.
However, Connie should worry. Ho has the makings of a wonderful ball
olub, and before tho season ends tho other clubs wilt know it, too. Tho entire
team Is playing faster since Joo Dugan filled in at short and Lawton Witt is not
missed at all. The Holy Cross marvel is one of the fastest men we have seen
When it comes to getting the ball away from him and his batting also Is good.
The youngster looks like a comer, and who can tell bat that Connlo has another
Eddie Collins In the making?
JAMIESON, too, Is a good player. For tho last three ycurs Connie has
had the saddest bunch of right fielders in the business, but now he has
one of the best. Jamteson makes wonderful catches, running back to
the fence or over to center to grab the liners like Amos Strunk. The club
looks good, but that bonehead stuff must be eliminated.
Kilbane' 8 Defeat Has Increased His Popularity
' A MAN who Is on the square, puts forth his best effort and falls is bigger than
-the man who wins without effort and tells his friends how eusy It Is to get by.
"Since losing to Benny Leonard at Shibo Park, Johnny Kilbane has gained a host
of new friends. He took his beating without a whimper, and instead of coming
out with a bunch of excuses when ho had a right to do so, he "merely sild that the
better man won and heaped praise upon his conqueror. This made Johnny moro
popular than ever and his now friends will stick by him. And there are other
things.
Before tho big battle, Kilbane promised to nppear In a boxing exhibition in
Allentown last Friday night and at tho Naval Home In this city on Wednesday.
Instead of returning to his homo in Cleveland as ho wanted to, Johnny decided to
fill, the dates. At Allentown he was given a rousing reception by the soldiers in
the encampment and at the end was presented with a gold medal by the men. On
Wednesday night he will box with Johnny Maloney and another welcome Is in
tore for him. The world loves a game man.
Leonard, too, has risen In the estimation of tho public. Hi? clean-cut victory
and his extr'emq modesty make him an ideal champion, and we hope ho holds the
title for many years to come. Benny's victory stamps him with the unmlstakablo
Isn of a fighter, a delicious recovery from the lethargy the lightweight class has
known bo long. There is no one who can dispute his title unless it be Charley
White or Johnny Dundee;and In a short time the lightweight champ will have
cleaned up all of the opponents In his class.
OLD-TIMERS say that Leonard is tho best lightweight wo have had
slnco the days of Kid Lavig'ne. Thoy cannot see how he can lose It for
a few years at least, for there is no one who can even worry blm. How.
ever the boxing game Is rather uncertain and one never cun tell what
will happen.
Fate of Football Will Ve Decided in Washington Thursday
4"VN THURSDAY, August 2, the executive committoo of the National Collegiate
U Athletic Association will meet In Washington, D. C, to decide the status of
Intercollegiate sport during the war. Every branch of athletics will be taken up
and it will not be at all surprising If the session is a long and complox one. The
principal topic, however, will be football. When the wavo of patriotic hysteria
went the country college managers fell all over themselves in their haste to
call off the gridiron schedules Just to show their patriotism. Then when their
reaaon waa rostored a few called off the previous action and decided to wait until
later A meeting was scheduled" three months ago, but the cooler heads, led by
Dr James A. Babbitt, of Philadelphia, prevailed upon them to wait untlL summer
before doing anything. Therefore, tlio session was set for August 2.
Football la a.wartlme sport. It not only gets the men In first-class physical
shape but also teaches them discipline and military tactics. A regiment of
' trained football players, would show more nerve and endurance than any other
kind and for that reason it is believed that the game will continue throughout

TIircitR was a little (lurry on Friday nt
Aronlmlnk during the progresi (,r tho
class tournament becauso two pairs agreed
to do awny with the stymie. I happened
to be a participant Ip both matches, and
this may clepr tho situation In the mlmls
of a lot of technicians who were Kathered
around the scoreboard waiting for tho play
ori tn 111 Ish, .for somehow or other the
Impression Rot around that what wo did In
thoeo matches was nothing, short of murder.
Some ono nald that It was nn effort on
my part to attempt to put the Western As
sociation ruling on the stymie Into effect
becauso I have written In favor of that
rullnB. As a matter of fact, I have come
out against tho stymlo every year for the
last ten yoars. and so far m I am concerned
there Is nothing new In my opposition to
tho stymie. V'urthermore. nothing was far
ther from our thoughts to make an Issue
of tha stymlo at that time. Ono of the golf
technicians observed that If golfers wero to
consent to tho dropping of stymies they
might as well agree to throw out bunkers
and some other remarks equally absurd.
Real Facts of the Case
The facts were these: J. C. Halter, of
the Philadelphia Cricket Club, when he
reached the first green remarked that he
was opposed to stymies and wanted to know
If I objected to doing away with them 1
said 1 would rather not play them, becauo
I did not consider them a part of golf In
any sense of tho word. Neither ono of w
laid a Btymle during the round. In the
afternoon I mentioned the stymie proposi
tion to Dr. F. J. Illgglns on tho llrst gieen.
He said he would rather let mo decide the
question. I told him I would play them or
not, just as It suited him. He knew my
Ideas on the subject and xald hn did not
like stymies, whereupon I suggested that we
cut them out. which we did. Playing the
eighteenth hole, which both of us hashed up,
myself In particular. Doctor Htgglns ran
his approach within a foot of tho hole. I
was In the rough playing one morn Klml;..
Doctor Hlggins lifted his ball so as to give
mo a shot for a half, which I missed. There
was no stymie or semblance of a stymie.
Then the technicians got started.
In the absence of Francis D. Warner,
secretary of the Oolf Association, Harrison
Townsend, for ten years the secretary, was
In charge. He said his Impression wns
that both of us were disqualified for wnlv
lnir the rule. I remarked that Doctor Hlg
gins had won fairly and It was not rlclit
to deprive him of a victory. I told him that
If there was to be any disqualification ho
might as well start with the morning round,
as both Mr. Baker and myself had mutually
agreed to cut out tho playing of stymies.
In this way Doctor Hlggins would not be
affected, and later on a decision to this ef
fect was made.
Case Is Amicably Settled
Thers was no nrgument of any sort. ;t
took a little time to find a rule book and
a little more time to find the ruling. And
that was all there was to It. Dut I cannot
help referring to two other Incidents In
other tournaments under the auspices of
the golf association, and both of them oc
curred during the qualifying round of the
lnterclub championship.
In the first Instance one of the players
was bunkered. His first shot out landed
In another part of the bunker. Before he
took his second shot he smoothed out the
hole made by the club, as well as his foot
prints. The committee decided there was
no penalty, as what he had done was done
with the best of Intentions. Commen sense,
Yet the player should have been penalized.
In the other Instance the winner of the
(Told medal for low scoring on two or
three greens removed ant hills with hi
putter, and as there are only four things
which can be removed with a golf club,
and anthills are not one of them, the player
Incurred a penalty on each and every green.
This fact was known to at least ona
member of the executive committee, yet
nothing was none ana tne player got nis
medal. Th.e point of all this Is that It the
two players are to be disqualified for break
ing one rule, how about the other two who
were .not penalised at all? If the rules
say that stymies must be played, why per
mlt one man to break a rule about ground
ing a club In the bunker and another man
to break another by brushing aside with
his putter ant hills that should have been
picked up? If we are to havt technical
golf, why not make all golfers obey all
rules?'
Otheri Agreed Not to Play Stymie
There la not the sllghteit douht that other
players In the class tournament also agreed
not to play stymies, it Is the on rule that
Is most frequently broken, No player will
ground Me club In a bunker or do any one
of the score of things that entail the loss of
a hole or a stroke, and ha will not agrea to
waive any penalty or push aside any rule.
but when it oomts down to stymies, very

tho tournament.
The stymie Is n relic of two or thrco hun
dred years ago. It has no place In golf,
nnd tho only reason It btnys In golf Is be
cauio the I'nlted Slatei Oolf Association Is
tied to the apron strings of tho rules com
mittee of tho Ilnynl nnd Ancient Golf Club
of St. Andrews. Tho stymie Introduces an
clement that figures only In matcn play and
on putting greens, It Is the llfth wheel of
golf, nnd usually tho fifth wheel Is a useless
affair. But I would like to assuro golfers
generally that no attempt wan mado to
ring In the Western Association ruling, and
when tho thrco of us agreed to do away
with stymies we wero under tho Impression
that stymies nnd conceded putts wero In the

Comfortable Stance Is Basis of Good Golf
&e3
-Mm
J&iKH
Till! question of stance seems to bo both.
cilng a great many golfers, judging from
the great nuniliT of letters I havo received
nv tlib mlijril it Is evident to mo that
many players have
nn entirely wrong
Idea uf tho proper
stance. Their great
est fault Is In at
tempting tn follow,
1 i ftoreotyped fash
Inn, tlio htanco used
by somo noted
plnycrs This is al
ways, wiong
In tlio matter of
stance I adviBe the
beginner always to
consider tho Idea of
comfort, for com
fort In stance Is the
foundation from
w Ii I c h r li S'thm
springs. We must
understand, how
ever, llieie is a cer
tain discomfort at
tached to all new things. It Is the feel-
Irg or t u uiiai-uuinm.i l. a.ul It wears
away with Individual adjustment.
To produce n given lesult In golf re
quires tho practical application of tucces
slve Ideas. First, one must consider his
grip, then his stance, and so on. If these
have been carefully thought out, with a due
regard for comfort, use will mako them
comparatively nutomatlc.
Stance Varies With Build
When I first began to play I tried always
to get tho stanco mathematically correct.
Many a time I would get good and patient
playors to take their stance, and then I
would try to place my feet exactly where
theirs had been. Thlr, J am convinced, Is
the wrong way to learn," and even should a
golfer have tho most exact mathematical
Instruments for taking the measurements
of the position of the greatest exponent of
any parttcudar shot It would be unfortunate
for the future of his game, because every
Individual differs physically,
I believe that stance should follow a lead
ing Mea, but with approximations and varl-
til.-!'

L2iL&3i.
I IlAUI.r.fl BVANrt
ations, according to build My real thought
Is that a stanco thould bo almobl the same
for every Individual, bu' noi mathemati
cally exact. The whole Idea of a good stance
Is not to allow tho legs or feet to Interfore
with tho stroko : nothing must bo permitted
to break tho rhythm of action. I am not
a musician, but I Bupposa a good stroko
might bo called a musical phrase In which
a number of notes havo been used to pro
duce tho completo harmony.
In driving my stance Is approximately
square. My left too is about an Inch
farther back than my light. I always take
a provisional stance, however, and extend
my aims at easo to full length. But I nl
ways am very careful to avoid any stiffness
or rigidity of muscle. Then I follow with
nn adjustment of my feet for comfort and
a soiso of easo nnd a preparatory wiggle
for relaxation. Tho whole Idea In this Is
to put the body In a position of ease and
freedom from any strain In order to give
rhythm to tlio swing.
If you will keep these Ideas In mind I
am sura you will tlnd them holpful In bet
tering your gamo. A comfortable stance Is
a very Important part of golf. But the Idea
which many golfers have that It Is a rigid,
inuexiuie tiling irom wnicn no variation Is
permissible Is wrong.
Square for Full Shot
My advlco then Is: Decide upon your
stance approxlmataly, square for full shots
and open for tho half or quarter but adjust
them a little as you make your preliminary
swing.
Tho rulo can be put In ono sentences
Use the bquare stance for the full shot, the
open for tho quarter and the half, bringing
tho feet closer together the shorter the shot.
matter virtually beyond nil debate.
.Vo, It Isn't Matty's work In hoisting tho
Iteds to second plade aB uncanny ns that
seems to be. , .
N'elther"ls tho return of Ty Cobb to tno
Old Homestead In front of the flock.
The laurel belongs to Benny Leonard for
knocking out two such crafty ring gen
erals as Freddie Welsh nnd Johnny Kilbane
within a two-month gap.
Leonard's achievement In the last year
has been almost miraculous. We had" only
ono good heavyweight and only ono or two
good welters. But the supply of lightweights
wns ample, If not sufficient. 7lr.st, there
was Freddlo Welsh, champion: then Benny
Leonard ; then Hlchle Mitchell : then Charley
White. And romping nround with these
was Johnny Kilbane, .he fcntherwelght
king.
Leonard's Upset
Leonard In turn .net Hlchle Mitchell,
Freddie Welsh nnd Johnny Kilbane. To
outpoint each of these was no soft nnd
simple assignment,
To knock any ono of che trio out was
quite a little affair, with ten rounds or less
to go.
What happened was this tho trio lasted,
In bulk, nineteen rounds. In nineteen rounds
of fighting Leonard knocked out threo of
tho toughest In the game. Welsh lasted
nine rounds beforo ne dipped Into Poppy
Land.TiIltchcll lasted only seven. Kilbane
lasted less than three.
So by boxing less, than twenty rounds all
told Leonard 'has hammered three of the
best Into complete submission, which as
evidence Is quite sufficient to brand him as
ono of tho greatest of them nil. If he can
add one or two more after the manner of
tho nboo he will probably be awarded the
crown for all time.
More th.in certainly over tho short dis
tance only ii few hac equaled Leonard's
record to date Terry McGovern being the
pacemaker In this respect.
Leonard's Way
Leonard Miai.a t the fiery dash and over
whelming rush of Terry McGovern He
hasn't the durability or tho excessive stam
ina of But Xelson But ho has something
else. Ho has about ail any great champion
needs skill, speed, courage, generalship,
tho wallop and nil the stamina required.
Ho has tho raro combination of boxing skill
and tho wallop. Most of tlio best boxers
lack the punch. They know how to lit.
block and get away, but this system of
fighting seems to lomnvc all stenm fiom the
punch, Leonard, however, has the snap
.md the leverage, which must be born In a
fighter No development or training can
put ty there. Fltzslmmons had this to a
marked degree. It enabled him to hit a
terrific wallop from only ten or twelve
Inches. Ho was not forced to stnrt a hay
maker from tho hip to bring nbnut excessive
damage. Stinting a wallop twelve) Inches
away, Fltz still bird steam enough to rock
an elephant's bead.
Leonard has thin rnmo snap this Fame
unusual leverage When ho looks to be
merely tapping ho haH tho sting If Wlllird
with his bulk had the same amount of snap
or leverage In proportion he could kill a
buffalo or a rhinoceros with ono fistic Milvo,
aimed at tlio lower Jaw. Joe Gnns had the
whiplash punch, but not even Cans had
'the sting from a short distance that Leonard
aeems tn carry.
The Short-Distance Revival
Leonard haT revived interest In the short
dlstnnco program at six nnd ten rounds.
Heretofore a ten-round affair meant nothing
much beyond an argument next day as to
wmen man naa won.
Kvery now nnd then the lend ruld bo
declslvo enough for all to agree. But theso
occasions wero rare and knockouts were
still rarer.
liven Pncky McFnrland at his best seemed
content with a fair margin, making no great
effort for anything beyond.
But Leonard has brought the ten-round
game to a decision basis. There Is no ex
tended room for nrgument left when you
.hammer an opponent cold and drive his
quivering features Into tho rosin.
This proceeding has the happy knack of
concluding all rebuttal and debate. It Is
