; WHITE SOX WIN BALL GAME EARLY
SO THEY CAN KEEP COOL AND REST
UP FOR THE DOUBLE-HEADER TODAY
Three Runs in First Inning Put Combat on Ice
and League Leaders Enjoy Themselves While
Cleveland Trims Boston; Scott Pitches Well
rpiIE persplrlne, pennant-aiplilng 'White Sox pulled vomethlng now on the homo
town boya yesterday and got awny with a ball game without tho least bit of
trouble, rearing the excessive heat they have been reading about for ho last week,
they decided to cross tho weatherman und win tho gnmo In tho flrst Inning beforo
they succumbed to Old Sol's ras. 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.

Wo have Just observed two sections of
literature, entitled "The Art of Umpiring"
and "The Art of Putting," The arts at
tached to both are tho same which Is that
any system you can get by with Is the
right system.
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.

smashed all world's records. He has come

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. "King" Coin led the
league in pitching his first season for tho
Cubs, but never shone again "Babe"
Adams was the hero of a world's scries his
first season, hut never nfter that could bo
considered even a winning twlrles
Bunny Tabrlque was a wonder In the
South with Brooklyn this spring, but he
couldn't last threo months In tho regular
season AI Orth, at present an umpire In
the National League, won eight out of nine
games his first soason Then the Phillies
thought of releasing him Ho begged for
another and came back, pitching winning
ball for threo clubs nfter that beforo he
finally slipped
George Stone led tho American League at
bat In 1906, but soon dropped far batk In
his stick work and was released

PHILA. 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

decided by the women of tho club some
time next week Tho goneral thought Is
to have It as a strlctlv perpetual cup, with
a replica for the winner each jear. Some

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

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.
