It whs a swell system, for they had plenty of tlmo to loaf In tho remaining eight Innings while tho Athlet'cs worked their sweaty heads off to score. Today the lsltors will try tho samo system In the double header, according to rumors floating around Row land's camp. But be that us It may, tho pallid hoie are extremely happy and Joyotn today They have a three-game lead ocr Hawston and feel that they will widen the gap ere the golden sun hides Its faqo behind tho mountain at Port Indian, Pa It wasn't hard to win yesterday. Harry Sclbold, who pitched part of tho first Inning for the Macks, had everything but control, and he quickly filled tho baies like tho Iceman loading up the refrigerator. Two bases on balls nnd a hit crowded tho sacks to capacity, and Juatto oblige, Harry passed another, forcing In tho first tally. At this Juncture Connie used tho hook and Lefty Anderson appeared. The southpaw yielded threo scores, which was not so bad, considering tho bum stait. The locals were unable to do anything with Scott nnd failed to register. It Is hard to Judge the White Sox on a day like jo-tcntny, for there rcall.v was Bo opposition. At times they looked good, but at others cry sad. Tho team seems to lack tho finish nnd spirit of the lied Sox; but as was unld beforo, It 1h hard to get a line on the club In nn easy game like that of yesterday. Connie Mack likes. Chicago's chances and other members on the team feel the same way It all de pends on the pitchers In the driving finish which Is to come. TT7HILB Cleveland Is annoying Hoston, tho Sox belloe thej can creep '"ahead In this series, but jou never can tell what will Inppen the" das. The Athletics can play good baseball, and with any sort of pitching It will take a mighty good club to beat them. Today .loo Bush and V.lmer Mers will bo on tho mound and tho visitors will find" them harder to handle than Selbold nnd Anderson Sccretaru Baker Flits Athletic Nail on Head "TJUT there la ono great criticism of college athletics. The wrong men are trained, for tho big, blrong, hURky men are tho ones who mo taken and they mako specialized athletes, whllo the anemic and the studious and tho 1111 athletlcally Inclined nro left to fill the bleachers. Star teams nnd specialized athletes, while good and aluable in their way, aro not numerous enough to make armies, and college athletics should be made to spread over the entile Mudent body. The gospel of college athletics should be athletics for all " In these words Secretary Baker hits at tho weakness of college athletics. The great number of young men In the draft list who have been turned down because of physical disability shows very clearly that tho system of athletic training falls to reach thoso who most need Its benefits. Tho University of Pennsjlvanla Is typical of our colleges. With a student body in excess of 7000. II Is remarkable how few of the undergraduates participate In the ordinary college athletics. When the call for footb.ill men goes out less than 2 per cent of the students respond. Hciy youngster would give anything In the world If he 1011I1I make the varsity team, but the coaches will not bother with any one unless he Is husky. Tho same Is true of tho baseball and track teams and of tho crew. Al together, less than one-tenth of tho entire student body Is working for positions on the various fcams, elevens, nines, fives and eights. ' And It Is not until tho call goes out for joung men to send to 1'ianto that we realize that the chaps who should get the benefit of college athletics do not get it because they are not varsity material. Tho late Doctor .Tones, for so many ve.irs head of the Penn Charter School, realized this years ago. As a lesult he organized the bojs Into two divisions and when the track day ai rived, Instead of having a ctrtain few running In dashes and longer races and performing in tho arlous Jumps, he had the entire body of several hundred boys of all ages working for the colors. The sports were so selected that the unemlu nnd the plgcon-bredstod boys figured Just as much as tho football and baseball men. Kvory boy In tho school got Into tho sports. AND that Is what we need in our colleges, or rather It should bo part riot tho school education before the bojs reach tho college ago. Tor most of tho boH who, go to pieparatoiy and high schools neor leach college. But If they were to have sports In which the weak ns well as tho strong could participate, we would have a race of stronger men, and then when another war came we would not see thousands of the joutli of tho country turned down because they were phv-.Ic.illj unfit Phils' Recruits Fail to Make Good in Fast Companu THE passing of Paul Tlttery marks tho end of a big IKcK o( recruits which assembled at the Phillies' training camp In Florida last March. Out of the entire bunch not one man was able to stick and, to ninkn matters worse, not a single joungster has been captured this season. Evein and Prank Schulte hae been added to the payroll, but they virtually had been turned loose by their clubs. As matters stand, Pat Moran has the same line-up as last jcar and It looks as If he would keep it for another ear at least Talent In the bushes Is conspicuous by Its absence. When Manager Pat looked over his outfit down In Rt Pete things seemed quite sweet and hopeful. Six pitchers Lutz, the Canadian; f'hrmlchael, Zimm, Craig, Fittery and Garry Fortune were on the Job and a brace of rookie catchers. Bill Fish and Ituthkamp, performed behind the bat. In tho outfield was "String" Gandy, the noted slugger, and "Snooks" McGafllgan cavorted around second and short. The recruits looked great until they began to plaj ball nnd then Moran used the ax. Lutz, Carmlchacl, Craig, Zimm, Ruthkamp and Gandy were shipped to the minors before tho club returned to tho North. Fortuno lasted a couple of weeks until he was taken 111 and he Joined tho list of departed. Bill Pish went back to New London, and McGafllgan, after a long tiyout, packed his duds and ailed for Richmond. Claude Cooper, ono of tho vets, also took the long Journey, and now Fittery gets tho hook. Paul looked very good at the start, but couldn't keep up tho good work In fast company. Ho had the movement of an excellent twlrler, but the movement did not prevent base clouts by the enemy. Bobby Byrne no longer Is with us, so tho club Is below tho player limit, with three vacancies to fill, Moran now has six pitchers, threo catchers, six Infielders and four outfielders, WITH the pitchers In shape, the Phils have n good chance to make things Interesting for tho Giants this year. If they fall down, how ever, the club will tumble into second division In no time. Pat Moran is doing wonderful work with the team, but Is handicapped because of lack of new talent. Stallinns Also Is Weeding Out the Veterans on His Team NOBODY'S Job Is safe In the Braves' club this season. George Stalllngs Is on the warpath and threatens to fire the whole bunch If a startling reversal of form Is not shown In the next'couple of weeks. Wllholt, Evers, Ruclbach and Sherwood Magee have felt the keen edge of the ax und It Is reported that Ed Konetchy Is the next to take tho trip over the hills nnd far away. It looks as If Stalllngs planned to hand out the same medlclno to his men as did Connlo Mack when he wrecked his famous machine. Discipline was a word to be found only In the dictionary and George refuses to stand for It. Ills men fell down on the Job day after day and played such listless baseball that only drastic action could savo It from utter ruin. Magee did not play 'his game and after Ignoring repeated warnings, was cast adrift on n waiver, which was picked up by Cincinnati. Sherry was in bad last winter when he kicked about the cut in his salary, but finally came around at the last minute and signed. The manager of the Braves Is said to be scouring the bushes for new talent, but with little success. He Is, especially anxious to find a new first baseman, but those birds are quite rare these days. The Boston National League world's cham pion club lasted briefly. A complete rebuilding, the second In the club's history Ince Stalllngs came Into the managership, now Is in progress. THE Braves have not been successful since Percy Haughton was made president of the club. Last year Boston was near the top, but this year the team got off to a poor start and has been trailing In the rear ever ince. Percy Is not realizing much on his investment. , Bob Simpson Will Compete In A. A. U. Meet ROBERT SIMPSON, Missouri's world's champion hurdler, has announced that he will compels In the national A.

When It Will Happen The umpire called the runner ouf Who should have tied the score; But no one rose with maudlin shout Or countered with a roar; A'o one called hint a thieving bum Or eke impugned his birth; But that uas after peace had come Upon a war-sick earth.

REAL BALL-STARS SLOW IN STARTING Collins and Killefer Did Not Make Big Hit Early in Careers JACKSON DROPPED BY A'S Fans hive tho wrong Idea of what Is expected of a rerult Just breaking into tho big show They e.pec him to start off like a cj clone and If he doesn't mako good want him shunted back to the minors. Many youngsters started off like whirlwinds and then develop Into fllwers of the worst variety. Home stars like Ty Cobb and Larry Lajole hit over tho .300 from the start, but Cobb and Lajoln aro eTCcptlons In ever thing Take, for Instance, Walter Cruise, of the St Louis Cardinals, at present at tho top of thn National League He made three trips up to the majors before he stuck Kdillo Collins batted 170 his first season, playing In half a dozen games Tho next ear ho hit about 100, but Connie Mack refused to lose faith in him In 102 games, Colllns's first J ear, he hit 273 Since then he has gone steadily nhove 300 and prob ably should again this yenr, for he Is rap idly coming out of his slump Killefer Dropped by Browns Bill Killefer. of tho Phillies, was with the St Louis Browns In 1910 He hit Just 121 In 71 games and was turned loose. Today he Is one of the best backstops In the country and ono of the hardest-hitting catcheis In the game Trls Speaker hit only 220 his first reason out. 1008 but his fielding was so good the Bed Sox kept him Last ear with Cleve lind he even beat out T Cobb, who bad led the league for nine straight seasons Jon Jackson was turned down by so keen a Judge as Connie Mack, although tho Ath letics' leader never doubted the shoeless one's ability Jackson however whllo never becoming a smart ball plajer. picked up enough knowledgo of the game to mako his hitting worth while Cole Was a Flash There are manv moro examples of tho slow-siartlng stars and Just as many of the oungsters who break In liko world-beaters and soon fllwcr.

CRICKET AND WHITEMARSH VALLEY CALL OFF 'ST. MARTINS AND GEIST CUP GOLF TOURNEYS Whitemarsh Women Will Hold Tournament, With Valuable Belle Steelman Bumm Memorial Trophy as Chief Prize TWO of the most Important golf tourna ments held In this city will not be plaed this year They aro the St. Martins Cup and the Gelst Cup tournaments The first has been a fixture at tho Philadelphia Crleket Club for many 5 ears The Gelst Cup, while not so old, la one of the most Important events held In this city Tho St Martins Cup event Is an invi tation affair given j early by the Cricket Club Karller In the season the club de cided to hold no tournaments of any kind, and, following out this policy. It has been decided to call off tho St. Martins Cup tournament The Cricket Club is virtually the only golf club in the city where thero has not been a single club event this jear Whllo t Is true that the Joseph Henry Patterson Memorial Cup was held at the Cricket Club on Memorial Day, It should be remembered that this event Is not a Cricket Club affair, but Is held under the auspices of the Golf Association of Phlladel phla Tor a number of years the event was shifted from course to course with tho other events, ruch as tho old and now dlv. carded Philadelphia Cun. the interclub and J the championship tournaments Several j ears ago 11 was decided that Inasmuch as Mr Patterson during his lifetime had been a member of tho Cricket Club for many years it was only right that the fix turo should go each year to the Cricket Club, and there It has since been held. Maxwell Has Won It Twice Norman H. Maxwell, winner at the North and South tournament, has two legs on the Gelst Cup. This cup Is given by Clarence If. Gelst, tho founder and builder of the very tine Scavlew Golf Club, and the cup Is played for annually at the White marsh Valley Country Club, where for years Mr. Oelst wbb president. It must be won three time to become the personal property of the winner. Whitemarsh de cided In view of the unsettled conditions and the possibility of not getting a first class field to pass up the tournament for this year. In order to get the tournament on a higher plane and as an Inducement to the better players the invitations last year were restricted to those having handicaps of ten strokes or less. The tournament last year was won by Maxwell, On the other hand, the Cricket Club tour ney appealed tc the high-rated as well as the low handicap men. And the greatest entry list In the city's history was that of a few years ago when more than 200 players participated In the event, One of the pleas ant features of this tournament was a din ner given to the entrants, following which there was always a vaudeviUe show. New Tourney for Women Golfers But to offset this there will be a brand new tournament this fall, but It will be confined to the women. For many years one of the most Interested women players at 'Whitemarsh was Mrs. Belle Steelman Bumm. Following her death this spring Mrs. Jacob H. 8. Dlsston gave the White marsh Club the Belle Steelman Bumm memorial cup, the largest and most ex pensive sterling silver cup ever contested for In this city. For an unusually large cup' it. has very graceful lines, and the club fa rr-tto''laure It satinet theft 9sM sIsbI JPSWBPSl Bj'JW lUf MMt VaS9PS ISw I-.

Some favor having a two day medal plav handi cap tournament, but tho women figure that In such an event it would he won by Mrs Itonald II. Barlow without much effort Mr Gelst put up a cup for the women at the Overbrook Golf Club. The first cup was won three times In succession by Mis Barlow and she has one of two legs on tho second. Medal play affairs do not appeal to the women, who realize they have no chance against such plajers as Mrs Barlow and Mrs. Vanderbeck. The majority of tho Whitemarsh women players are In favor of having a tournament patterned after the Berthelljn Cup at Huntingdon Valley, with one sixteen and nn eight and match play rounds with driving, approaching and put ting contests nnd with a mixed foursome as well. Mrs. Dlsston has very generously offered to pay for tho prizes, hut wants .. ........... . ,.. i.u ,nj jiicwiuu 01 piay. The Idea Is to have a tournament open to tho best .players In tho country. Tournament Slated for September Unless all signs fall, the tournament will be held the second week In September. The vvhltemarsh course Is an excellent test of golf for women, and It Is always In the very best possible condition. Whitemarsh has never had a more popu lar or efficient chairman of the green com mlttee than L. P. Tlnmln t? i ,. .three years he has had charge of the com- ;m"i " "' "o conmiion or the course Is In a very large measure duo to his work But business matters hare such a call on him at the present time that he has been forced to retire as chairman. He was suc ceeded on the first of July by Thomas H Halton, also one of the most popular play, era at Whitemarsh and several times cham pion of the club. Like Mr Demlng he Is one of the lowest-rated players at WJiltc marsh and an enthusiastic, golfer.
