, ' Last year when air. Dodle was smasning fences in nis nomo iowh, uu .uuiu
vV?V,ee n,s Palnce DVer tne loft-neld parapet. About the seventh Inning, the faint,
ijj awect, delightful odor of jtewed spaghetti or frljoles or something would watt
past his delicate nostrils and that was tho sign for Ping to go in anu win mo
ball game. Our left fielder's appetite for food is equal to that for home runs and
Bodle cares no more for a homo run than ho does for $10,000. Anyway, he would
30 In, end the game and rush Into his home by means of a gate carved in the
modest fence for that very purpose.
, Yesterday Ping's thoughts wandered westward and while lolling In the outer
garden doing nothing he Imagined he was t)ack again to the scenes of his past
triumphs. He so far for.tot himself that he Rntffed the air In the seventh inning,
hoping that a vagrant breeze would carry to him the gastronomic tidings of the
5ood things to come. When he came to and found it was only a passing fancy,
Ping lost Interest In everything but his appetite. Ho wanted to get homo as
quickly as possible, and when he appeared at tho plato in tho eighth Inning
he could think ot nothing else. Grover had preceded him with a double and was
i-oostlng at second. The score was 4 to 2 and a couple of runs were needed to tlo
'he score. Bodle swung his bat as he thought of the sun-bathed homestead and
vhen one of Lefty Russell's twisters floated by, ho smashed It right on the nose,
i'ar, for away sailed the ball and when It landed In the bleachers for a home run
ing thought his work was finished. Ho tied the scoro and It was up to his pals
.o end (he game then and there.
BUT Bodle was crossed, No one came through, so In the tenth Inning
when the pangs of hunger were moro pronounced, our hero decided to
wallop another homer. Jim Scott was flinging, but that mado no difference.
Again the pellet was punched on the beczer and away It tailed, far, far,
Into center Held. It should have been a homer, BUT Happy Felsch per
petrated an outrageous burglary and captured tho dflve after a hard run.
Ping was disconsolate, but revived In time to stagger out to his posi
tion at the end of the Inning. Afterward he watched Mclnnls and Schang
' put over the winning score and went home to a cold dinner.
Win Noyes Shared Honors With Bodie in the Twilight Struggle
TTINIFRCD NOYES did not twirl the article of ball his surname Implies, but
' shot 'em over with. such dazzling speed that tho pallid hose virtually wero
helpless. For six innings he allowed but three hits, ono being of the scratch
arlety. In the eleven chapters, only seven blngles bounced off the bats of the
nemy, which Is going some against the strongest team In tho league. Win got
ff to a bum start and walked four of the first five batters who faced him. Only
ine run resulted, and that was a gift from Stuffy Mclnnls, who played llko a na
ive of Marblehead, Mass., when he tried to catch Felsch off third. Stuffy throw
'he. ball to Bates and Happy strolled home because there was no place else to go.
' After that Noyes made but one mistake. He grooved one for that same Felsch
t-erson In the sixth and Mr. Felsch did nothing but clout the ball Into tho
Lleache:?. That put the Hose two runs In the lead, where they remained until
Ping Bodle's appetite got the better of him.
It was a great game from a local viewpoint, for It demonstrated to the fans
just what kind of a ball club Connie Is managing this year. With good pitching
It ranks with the best In the league. The Infield and outfield are all that could
t desired and tho batters bIuk the ball often and timely. A cood man on tho

enough for any club and Jamleson, Strunk and Bodle form a strong, hard
iltting and fast-fielding outfield. The catching department Is well taken
'.are of and the only weakness right now Is in the pitching staff. Connie is look
ing all over for hurling talent and If any stars are to be found, he will find them.
TODAY tho White Sox will play the final game of the series and en
deavor to mako up lost ground. It was tough to lose when Boston also
was defeated, but there was no chance. Tho only thing to do today is to
feed Ping Bodle before the game and get such a big lead that he cannot
break up the game as the golden sun sinks In the West.
Chicago Cubs Still Paying Big Prices for Players
THE purchase of Outfielder Barber from the Baltimore club by the Cubs for
the small sum of 115,000 and two players again points to the determined effort
being made by Weeghman to put a championship team In Chicago. Money
ij no object to the Windy City magnate and much coin of tho realm will be
'Unloaded for new talent before the season comes to an end. Thlb la tho second
lg purchase price dished out for a minor league phenom by tho new president.
Last year Chuck Wortman was purchased for what was believed to be $22,000
nnd as yet the little shortstop has not proved his true worth. He iseems as food
ns the average run of short fielders, but there is nothing startling or unusual
.ibout his playing. Let us hope that Barber will show class when ho arrives
in the big show.
When Weeghman took over the Cub franchise and welded a ball club out of
the Federal and National players, he virtually was a novice at the game. He had
designs on the pennant and opened his purse strings to attain it. Desplto the
huge gobs of money spent last year the club was a joke and this year It Is worse
than that. After a fairly good start Fred Mitchell's athletes reverted to their old
Umq form and exploded. Now they are in the league nomo place behind the
arlng line, where they will remain.
But we have to hand It to Weeghman for his dogged determination to put a
winning team on the field. When he heard that Barber was playing good baseball
and was burning up the International League he did not wait to send a scout,
but hustled Fred Mitchell down to Baltimore to take a look. Fred was pleased,
wired his boss and the deal was closed. Weeghman had to outbid Connie Mack
and Clarke Griffith before he landed the flower of the bushes and now considers
that he has put over a good trade. The Cub boss knows what players he will send
tn the exchange, but will not divulge their' names until the last minute.
ITMUBT be remembered, however, that a minor league star does not
always mako good under the Big Tent. , Players who have foozled In
the major leagues are doing swell work In the bushes, but they never make
good when they go up again. Larry Chapelle was a marvel wnen he played
with Milwaukee a few years ago, but after he was purchased by the White
Sox for .$17,600 he failed miserably and after a brief sojourn with the
Braves was sent to Columbus, where he Is now playing. So you never can
tell about the bushers. ,
Giants and White Sox Are Priming Up for the World's Series
: TT TB nhniit tlmn for the eood citizens of New York and Phlrncrn in f-f h-li-
Ppypocketbooks measured for world's series 'tickets this fall. Both clubs are leading

URGE CARD SYSTEM
FOR COLLEGE MEN
Athletic Cards Urged to
Make Every Student Par
ticipate in Athletics
PENN'S EXCELLENT PLAN
Secretary of War Baker has Urtunlly
told the American colleges to make sports
compulsory for their students, and It's In
terefttlng to speculate on how the colleges
will work out tho scheme of chootlng tho
germ of democracy through cery fiber of
Intercollegiate athletics.
To drag some ot the bookworms that
inhabit tho dormitories of tho ar!out uni
versities out on the athletic field for actual
participation In sports will be Just as easy
as finding a recruit for Uncle Sam's army
on tho line at the license bureau. A targe
majority of tho students will respond In the
saino manner In which college men lme
answered the call of their country to take
up arms, but there's bound to be a "dirty
dozen" hero and there, who will resist tho
sport draft, and It's with these fellows, who
habitually oppoto everything that Is good
for tho majority, that the college authorities
will hac to deal.
One delegate who was at the conference
!n Washington lait week is said to have
advocated a card system similar to the
bread cards that aro Issued in some of the
warring countries; tho student getting
credit tor time hpent in athletic pursuits
and holding his card to prove that ho is
not an athletic slacker. There Is no fear
that the great majority of tho students will
not turn out to participate In tho games
that will be attempted
The experience of tho University of Penn
sylvania with its sports last spring proves
the last statement. Then Pcnn authorities
noted that, after most of tho athletes left
college to tako up war work of one kind
or another, the turnout fpr their teams was
much larger than usual This was espe
cially truo of lacrorso and baseball, 'n
which sports tho Quakers had the largest
squads In tho history of the University. And
overy man who was a candidate for any
athletic team was lcqulred totake military
training with tho students battalion
It Is believed that Dartmouth College will
find a nearly Ideal solution of tho "ath
letics for all" question Along with Har
vard, Yale and Princeton, Dartmouth shut
off all sports when war came along, but
the Hanover people have suffered a change
of heart since that time and aro now work
ing out a plan for general athletic activity
for the students that return to Hanover
next month.
Daitmouth's athletic teams wero knocked
sky-high when the war call came. Virtu
ally every athletic man In tho college quit
cold for tho army or the navy. But there
will be several hundred students at Han
over when college opens, and It Is said
that Harry HUlman, the Green coach, will
experiment.
One thing that Is almost a certainty Is
that there will bo a football Bame between
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania this fall.
Both of these Institutions will play football
under tho modified conditions and, as they
are rivals of tho keenest sort, it's a fore
gone conclusion that they will get together
on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, a portion
of tho receipts going to the American Red
Cross.

JOHN J. CROUT AND CHARLIE CORR
KEEP THEIR GOLFING FRIENDS IN
BEST OF TEMPER WITH THEIR WIT
Former Is the Life and the Sunny Jim of White
marsh, While Latter Is the Joy
Man at Bala
IN CVERY golf club there is ono chap
who makes men and things cheerful. He
takes tho grouch out of evcry-day life, and
In ten minutes' time ho can convert the fel
low with tho sour face Into one of the most
cheerful of men. He Is tho cheer-up chap.
Two men In Philadelphia aro famous for
this, and both of them aro big fellows who
simplv l.ullatn good chci-r and fellowship.
Ono of them Is John J Crout, of tho White
marsh Valley Country Club, nnd tho other
Is Charles Corr. of the Bala Golf Club.
Probably every golfer In the city knows one
or tho other Crout Is one of the Mercan
tile Appraisers and Corr is In the coal busi
ness. Both are quick-witted, respond alertly to
repartee, and In any sort of a conversational
war either can give the other fellow cards
and spades and then beat him with case.
Neither has been known to lose his temper,
and there is no sting to their shafts. Crout
Is a great, big fellow, somewhat over six
feet In height and round as a barrel. Ho
weighs somewhere In the neighborhood of
300 pounds, and ho says this eat-and-grovv.
thin business Is moro or less nonsense nnd
that ho has no desire to thin out very
much.
Famous as After-Dinner Wit
He made one of his bcBt hits at tho din
ner last winter which Whltemarsh Club
gave to Jim Barnes after he had won the
professional championship of this country.
When tho tlmo camo for tho speakers, Crout
got busy, and while tho Clover-Club Btyle
of interrupting Is rather tiresome unless It
Is done well, Crout had overy one, Including
tho speakers, In an uproar In a very few
minutes. Then President Berry suggested
that perhaps the best thing to do would be
to call on Crout, and this would give the
diners and the speakers a chance to get
even. But It did not fcaze the big fellow.
Among other things, he said:
"When I look around this place I note
that there aro only twe real golfers here.
The first I cannot see without the aid of
a mirror and the other ono is Barnes.
Barnes has won every tournament of note
except tho open and Chick Evans would
not let him win that. So It Is plain that
ho has tho golf goods. I am tho worst
player in the club and Jim is my teacher.
I am naturally bright and have a very
retentive mind. But Barnes never won any
of these tournamants with tho Muff that he
taught mo. There la not a real golfer In
this room, yet we have as a professional
tho best man In the country. Either wo
lack Intelligence or Barnes reserves his

real stuff for tho tournaments. Perhaps
ho feels that It a waste of time to cast his
golf pearls before swine.
"Then again we would have had a real
golf course here several years ago If you
had only appointed me on a committee to
removo the Wlssahlckon Creek. In con
clusion Barnes and myself will play any
two members of the club with one stipula
tion It must be a best ball match."
Sometimes Plays Practical Jokes
But Crout Is not a poor golfer. He and
former President Taft are bothered the
same way ; neither has any follow through
for reasons which are obvious. When he
goes out he takes his own time and he
quits when he feels like It. When he gets
tired he likes to lie down In the grass and
wait till tho other fellows come round.
During the hot spell he pretended to be
overcome with the heat and greatly to the"
amaicment or the members he made tho
other three players and their caddies push
him along the eighteenth fairway to the
clubhouse. And It was a hard Job.
Corr Is also a six-footer, but he Is not
cnuuDy. lie looKs like a United States
Senator or a banker. To play with him
In a four ball match Is a Joy. Up at
Shawnee he had a rather tough kid for a
caddlo and Corr In relating his experiences
said after the qualifying round: "You
know I look like a very dignified Individual,
but I cannot get the caddies to see It that
way. I was all over tho course and even
when I get on the greens I had moro trouble.
That boy of mine was disgusted and after
I had played eight holes the impudent
rascal turned to me and said: "Charlie, If
you don't play better golf I am going to
quit you.' "
H reached tho eemlQnal round of the
beaten eight of the fifth sixteen, but failed
to reach tho tee In tlmo and the other men
got tho match by default. Whereupon Corr
remarket to a friend: "I thought golf was
n gentleman's game. He might havo gone
to the hotel and found out If I was dead."
Some Golfer, Mr. DeFault
Friday afternoon a friend met him and
asked him how he had made out. "nrt
was the response. "My tee shots wer lonir.
nnd straight. My Irons were working sweet
ly and on tho greens I never had more
than two putts. Vet you know that fellow
took mo to the nineteenth hole before I
beat him." "Who' was this wonderful
player, Charlie?" asked some one. "A
foreigner. I think. His name was Do Fault.
I don't know what club he plays from."
Tho same night a crowd ran down to
the Water Gap. At the ndjolnlng tables
wero a group of elderly ladles. Corr looked
at them for a moment and when some
asked him how old he thought they were
ho replied, "About as old as my qualifying
score, 110 " In treating the crowd to cigars
several thought they would have some fun
and they took three or four elenra -..
In all fifteen went, whereupon Corr called
the waiter back and said: "Perhaps you
gentlepien would like to have the box as
a souvenir."
On one of the hot evenings when no
breeze sweeps down the valley, Corr heard
a dignified man complaining about the
heat, so ha remarked seriously: "You know
If I was Mr, Worthlngton and owned these
mountains across the river, I wcujld cut
a big hole through the mountains acd let

hie shell from the pearl and the chaff from the grain:
I 4nd I the heart that through danger and death will be dutiful,
Soil that with Cranmer in fire would shake hands,
With a lite like a palace-homc built for the beautiful,
Freedom for all her beloved demands.
They are gone from us! Yet shall we march on victorious,
Hearts burning like beacons-eyes fixed on the goal;
And if we fall fighting, we fall like the glorious,
With face to the stars and all heaven tn the soul.
And aye for the brave air of battle we'll barter
The word of life sheathed in the peace of the grave;
AND BETTER THE FIERIEST FATE OF THE MARTYR
THAN LIVE LIKE THE COWARD AND DIE LIKE THE SLAVE!

Baseball and War
HE statement hai been mndo that club

bllng wildly to avert tho draft upon ball
players. ...
If this Is true, those connected with base
ball are making the mistake of their ca
reers, and they have made their share be-
The Importanco of baseball. In compari
son with the war at hand, is as nothing
against a million
Ball plavers with dependent families
shouUl be exempt. But In no other respect,
If they are phvslcally lit, should they be
treated ono whit different from any other
cltl7en.
Captain Huston, one of the Yankee own
ers, has tho proper Idea "Not only should
playcra not bo exempted," he says, "but
club owners and magnates should volunteer
their services to the Government for engi
neering or quartermaster's work."
In regard to Sunday benent games, cap
tain Huston believes these should be al
lowed, but that every nickel taken In should
be turned over not a mere per cent.
So far there Is no questioning tho fact
that baseball hasn't done Its full duty by
the nation, savo in ono or two Isolated
cases
If It falls down further, there will be
no baseball after this season until the wax
Is over. ,
Not Quite the Same
Win or lose this season, the White Sox
of 1917 are quite a different array from the
White Sox of tho last two years.
In 1915 and 1916 they had the habit of
curling up quietly when assaulted at vital
moments by tho Red Sox avalanche, but
1917 Is another affair. This season they
have not only shown their pblllty to hold
the Bed Sox In check, but on at least three
occasions they have rallied sharply after
hard reverses to come back for revenge.
The Bed Sox won tho pennant last season
In the main by whipping the White sox il
...u .r,vit ... Ub.0..u . listings.- jjo gg. j
this season they have been unable to bruk

rivals still have a brace of series left . '

The brilliant victory of the Cleveland
Indians over the Red Sox, following an
equally brilliant performance last week, Is
causing agitation today in the younger
major league circuit.
Lee Fohl's sterling pitching staff, com
blned with a winning punch that isn't re
quired to tako tho dust of any wrecking
crew, always has gained sidewalk room, but
right now It appears that,Fohl Is going to
horn Into the argument over first place
In tho American League unless some one
very shortly takes a knockout punch at
tho Indians' average.
Tho Indians and Tigers are locked In
the throes of a struggle for third place,
seven games behind the Bed Sox, but fol
lowing a crack at the Yankees In New
York they return to Cleveland to take on
the White Sox. Considerable fur should
fly In this series, and Indications don't
point to a complete line of Indian fur
Fohl's young pitchers, particularly Bagbv
and Covaleskio. have been carrying the
burden. Klepfer's victory over the cham!
plons places him In a class with other stars
nnd speaks none too well for the chances
df the White Sox In the Impending clash
The added whacking punch of Trls Speaker
Bay Chapman. Wambsganss, Both and
others makes the Cleveland line-up an awe
Inspiring, array. ' Bwe
