ths year; yes, very safe. When he held tho Itoblns scoreless for eleven sessions
yesterday It was his eighth shutout conquest of the season, Just half the numbci
bagged one year ago, Alex tops tho National League In shutout? this season
and la tied with Eddie Clcotte, who fiends tho American League with eight.
Wllber Cooper, left-hander on the staff of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Is next to Alex
Id the cipher column, having six. Jim Bugby, of tho Clc eland Indians, Is second
to Clcotte In Ban Johnson's division with seven Alex blanked the Cubs thrco

Veteran Ball Players Have Been Keeping Phils in Race
VLD veterans, tried In their places men who have learned tho game and
haven't forgotten It are the reasons for Pat Moran's success year alter
Jrer with his Phillies. Startling each season with a team that scarcely figures
as atrong as some of tho others, Moron Is always able to glvo tho best of the
league a stiff fight. This year, whllo ho hasn't been close enough t'o seriously
Worry the Giants, he has been poundlnV along behind, ready at any time to spring
Ut and tear down the McGraw predominance. Pat Is tho kind of a manager
Who would rather have the tried voterans than tho flashy, chance-taking young
sters. Nearly every man on the local club Is a man who has played tho game for
years. Starting In with first base, thero Is found a man who got his first
crack at the National League when Frank Chanco was guiding tho Cubs, and that
ires several seasons ago. John Evcrs has been doing n lot of the second basing for
Koran, and the world knows he Is an old timer. Bert Nlchoff has dono the rest of
it, arid tho pin feathers long ago left Bert. Milton Stock was a member of the
Giants when they won their last pennant. The pitching staff Is tho newest part of
the whole club, and no one ever has been heard to accuse Grover Alexander of
being a youngster that Is, not In recent years. Oeschger and Rley nro compara
tively new, but both have been up thero severnl years. Mayer and Lavender are
two of the league's oldest (lingers. Bill Klllcfer was rated a star and a veteran
When he pulled off his famous double leap to the Teds and back again. Eddlo
Burns Is a newcomer, but getsMlttle to do, and Adams is mainly a bullpen work
man. In the outfield George Whined, a member of the Braves when they won
their world's championship! Gavvy Cravath, who Is growing old fast, and Dodo
Lt - 'Faskert, a relic of baseball, perform.
Mr TIDT those old bovs can hit the ball, thev can think fast and straight
"and they can field well enough to make the youthful ones step lively.
Bancroft Is the only noticeable youngster on the team and ho fits in
mighty well. s
HatsXtff to Lee Fold!
TEE FOHIi. the auiet. buslness-llko skipper of the Cleveland Indians, has mado
r i XJgood as manager of Jim Dunn's Forest City aggregation. Ho Has been paid a
fitting tribute by Owner Dunn himself, and tho announcement that he Is signed
already to manage the Indians for another season has put a quietus on rumors to
the contrary rumors that were not Justified. When Fohl took the reins at Cleve
land several years ago he was af unknown quantity. He was merely a scout and
coach for the Cleveland club, and the rumor mongers predicted then he wouldn't
znakfe good. Cleveland had to have a manager, they said, to Insure the future suc
cess of the club. But after Prcslutnt Dunn watched Fohl's work for a few months
be was satisfied that Cleveland had a manager,1 and ho gave Fohl free rein,
lnce he has been given his head as pilot of tho Indians, Fohl has lifted Cleveland
cut of the class of trailers. Ho has a club which needs but little strengthening
to make It a hot pennant contender In1918, and with a little better luck during
the first six weeks of the present campaign Cleveland would havo figured In a
three-cornered race with the White Sox and Red Sox this fall. The only false
VS'saove which Fohl appears to have made this year was the deal which sent Chick
'jf'l'Gandll to Chicago. He thought Louis Gulsto would make Forest City fans forget

ONE thing may stand in the way of the Indians. It Is tho national draft

been perhaps the heaviest-loser In tho major leagues through tho

argument de eloped a day or two
ago as to whether or not tho present
Giants were tho strongest delegation Ndw
York eor had to enter for a world series
engagement .
Tho opinion seemed to bo that they were.
Wo doubt It exceedingly, not to say rfulto
a trifle.
Tho 1917 Giants nro undoubtedly a
stronger world series array than the GlnntB
of 1911, 1912 and 1913, who succumbed In
succession to tho Athletics and White Sox,
losing three series In a row.
But wo'd rather havo a small wager on
the Giants of 1905 aboe ecn tho ball
club McGraw has today.
With Bresnahan back of the bat with
Matty and McGlnnlty In the box with Mo
Gann, Gilbert, Dahlen and Devlin with
Mertcs, Donlln and Browne that looks to
bo tho strongest Giant array of them nil
Tho present outfield Is stronger than the
1905 bunch although none of tho Giant
outfielders Is a Mike Donlln.
Tho Giant outfield of today also has
something on tho 1905 crops a shade,
anyway. ,
But, with nil this, thero Is nothing to
mako up for that ancient trio Matty and
McGlnnlty pitching to Roger Bresnahan,
These three, ns they were then, wero
about all that might be required.
All-Stars and World Series
"Did It ever occur to you," asks L. R.
J , "that of tho two world series clubs who
will meet very, very few would be an alt
American team?" Proving again that It
Is team play or average strength that
counts. Tho White Sox would hao two
all-star entries In Schalk and Collins. The
Giants nro without representation, unless
