Ready for Strenuous Duty
. By HOJIEKT W. MAXWKM.
fTIHE most recent manager In the Nntlonnl League will be with us tomorrow
to nsslst In the Rat and Rail Fund benefit at the PhllllcV Park, .lark
Hendricks, pilot of the St. Louis Cards, therefore Is somewhat of a curiosity,
. and the eager fan can look hm oxer nnd at the same time help the boys
"over there" for the price .of one war tax.
Hendricks succeeded Miller Muggins as manager of the St. Loole club
nnd has been bumping the bumps all season. The Card are limping alone
In seventh place, but Manager Jack Is in no way to blame for that. He
has been handicapped through the lack of good mateilal, and he hopes to'
get better results as soon as this fault Is remedied. There are some really i
good players on hl3 team, but a few have been late In starting, and others i
have been laid low by Injuries. Rogers tlornsby. the star of the troupe. Is
not yet ready for strenuous duty He strained a tendon In his log, which
has been quite painful, but be Is making u name effort to keep on' going
despite the handicap. I'aulette at first. Ralr at third nnd AValt Cruise and i
Jack Smith, outfielders, are first-class men.
The silver-haired, smiling Hendricks has been up against It tills reason
because too much was expected of him. It will be remembered that he was
purchased from Indianapolis last winter, where he had unite a little success. I
It took considerable time to close the tiansnctlon. and hundreds of columni
of space were used up by the sporting writers throughout the country.
When It was announced that .lack finally had been procured, there was much
Joy In St. Loole, and every one predicted a pennant. That's what caused the
rub, but Hendricks Is not disheartened. He knows baseball, is a good man
ager and will prove It before the season is over.
Says Bill Killefcr Is Greatest Catcher Playing Today
"As
S FOR Killtfer," resumed Fred,
have seen. He Is a brainy p!a.cr, is on his toes evervmlnute and
continually outguesses the hitter. Pitchers get most of the credit for doing
great work, but It Is the man behind the plate who should receive the glory.
Klllefer virtually thinks for the hurlers. He calls for tile balls to lie pitched,
and the pitchers have so much confidence in him that they put everything
they have on the ball. Dill tells them what to do and they do It.
"Killefcr stands out as an exception in the national game. Us that
I mean he necr spares himself, and works as hard as any man on .
. the field. You know, a veteran catcher usually watches himself. He takes
no chances, calls for curves when the count Is three and two, nnd straight
balls are forgotten. He always plays It safe. You never see many veterans
running toward the grandstand for difficult fouls. You never sen thorn1
diving Into the runner or blocking him off at the plate. Klllefer does all of
these things because his heart nnd soul Is In the work. He Is a wonderful
player, and I will miss him when he leaves for army service.
,"I understand Alexander is In New York. If such Is the case, I hope to
be able to use him in one of the games
permission irora nis commanaing oincer ne will oe in tne lineup. Alex Is n
strong fellow nnd does not need much practice, so I believe he is in good
shape to go through a game. Also, he is anxious to get one more crack at
New York before he leaves for the other side."

away with the final conflict with a clean slate. At that, the Phils threw
away a couple of runs In th first when Bancroft tried to sco-e from first
on Williams's double, and later when Ludy wa3 caught snoozing off third.
That play on I.,udy was a wonder. He was on third and Oavvy Cravath on
first. Those two speed demons thought it would be a good stunt to bluff
a double steal, and It fooled every one but Rill Klllefer. Dill had seen the
ame thing tried before, so when Gavvy took a few steps toward second he
whipped the ball to Church Deal at third, nnd an easy putout resulted.
Those guys meaning Ludy and Gavvy couldn't get away with a stunt
'like that without a taxlcab.
The Phils almost got away in the first without the usual trip in the
clouds, but after two were out they went up In the air and two runs
came home. This was caused by Mann's single, Merkle's double and
Paskert's one-base clout. It was thought that the boys would remain on
terra flrma after that, but In the fifth they wheeled the machines out on
Syi the field and went up so high that they probably are flying yet. A double,
jSf a couple of singles, a sacrifice, base on balls and an error, manufactured two
K counters, ana Joe uescnger was dropped witn that well-known dull and

CHICK EVANS GIVES SOME
POINTERS ABOUT PLAYING
THE DELICATE CHIP SHOT
Plays It as Complete Wrist Stroke, With Stiff Wrist and
Arm Follow Through, Keeping
Eye on Ball
By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR
WAS hitting up somo chip sho's the
other night because I have been so
poor on these shots lately, and they need
practice Just as much as any other shot
In your bag. It seems so simple this
llttlo, short, runnlng-up shot that Its
ery simplicity Is misleading, for its
execution is really a very difficult and
delicate operation.
When this shot is needed it Is needed
badly, and I have always believed1 that
I lost an Important tournament by fall
ing down on It at a critical time. In
that big tournament it happened that
that shot was needed at that time on
that particular course. Recognizing
that facr, and the further one that my
shot was falling down, I hoped-to be
able to practice It the night before my
important match, but circumstances
that I could not control prevented I
was off that Fhot and my opponent was
particularly on, and the consequence
was that I lost a match of great im
portance. My practice the other evening led me
to formulate some of my ideas The first
important thought is to be as relaxed
as possible and to throw the clubhead
Into the line of play This led me to
the question of judgment of distance,
nnd herein lies an idea that I wi-h to
pass on. If the few yards in front of
the green are not in good condition
)ou really ought -to pitch all the way
onto tho green. The wetter the ground

the greater the pitch should be; and,
on the othei hand, the drier the ground
the less the pitch Into the air. If you
are lying close to the ground nnd can
not get under the shot for a lofted one
you must run It up the best you can.
I think tho best thing In such a case
Is to put a little overspln on the shot,
so that It will take the uneven grass
In front of the green with more chance
to keel) on the line, even though the
ball may fall in a bad place.
I think the chip shot Is very nearly n
compjete wrist shot, although I put
almost a stiff wrist nnd arm follow
through into the imaginary line.
THrc is almost always a feeling of
uncertainty In regard to these delicate
llttlo shots, and one Is only too likely
to hover over them in the hesitating
manner of the uncertain putter, for In
this respect the shot resembles a putt
and the result of anxious hovering Is
just as disastrous. Quick but unhurried
decision works well heie, as It does In
so many other cases.
It Is very necessary that the eje be
glued to the ball, and this peimlts you
to use extra care on how tho ball is
hit.
The position of the feet should ac
cord with the comfort of the Individual,
and that aries. of course, with every
one. I am a great stickler for a com
fortable stance. I play tho chip shot
vvlth my feet close together.

ROWLAND'S REAL
TEST THIS YEAR
Machine Which Won the
World's Championship
Shot to Pieces
WAS SLOW IN STARTING
One of the atrocities committed In
baseball this year Is failure to give Clar
ence now land, manager, any of the
credit for winning the world's champion
ship, and now that the White So$ are
fluttering around the .500 mark some
are attempting to put the blame for the
poor start of the club on tho Sox man
ager, says George Robins. It Is Interest
ing tp read the comfnent of a widely
read critic on the White Sox:
"Slow to get going, overconfident
weak In management and weak in sac
rificing and the finer points of attack,
still the strongest team In Hie league In
mechanical ability."
This estimate of the Sox may be set
down as half right and half wrong.
Kvcrybody will admit the world's cham
pions are slow starting this season, but
this may be attributable to a constant
smashing of team play by repeated ac
cidents. The club Is overconfident, a bit
careless and nt times woefully lacking
In aggressiveness something that usual
ly happens to a team after winning a
world's championship.
Tho White Sox may be the strongest
team In the American League tn me
chanical ability, but this Is subject for
spirited discussion.
The Case of Mr. Rowland
Is the opinion expressed of Clarence
rtovvland that ho Is lacking in manage
rial tact. In brains. In ability to make
his men play at their best and digging
up talent requlsltlcs of a successful
manager, a correct on?
There's a class of critics who will not
give a man credit even after being
shown, and the Sox manager seems to
have some critics of this kind. Even
after he won his high laurels they ex
cused their mistake on the theory that
the Sox success was ilue to the activity
of others, and that the manager was
simply a figurehead. If Rowland, with a
team shot to pieces ,hy constant acci
dents and Illness, Is able to send his
men over the. top to another victory,
these same critics will hide behind the
subterfuge that It was mechanical ability
that caused the success.
Tho real test of Rowland comes this
year. His old pennant-winning machine
has been shot to smithereens. Joe Jack
son, slugger, Is gone, and on the first
eastern trip of the club In no game was
the old machine Intact to send against
the. foe. The managerial tact of Row
land pulled the battered toam through
to an even break.' McMullIn was out,
Felsch was out, Eddie Collins was out
and Weaver, pivot man of the wonderful
Sox defense, was out. Still the Sox
fared well.

rnrk, Australia's swimmer extraordinary
and what-not. In notion this summer.
Samuel J. Dallas, president of the Mld
,dle Atlantic district of tho Amateur
Athletic Union, announced last night that
arrangements had been completed with
Miss Durnck to compete In the national
women's hundred-yard dash, which will
be held either August 17 or 24 or 31, nt
Lafayette.
Miss Rurack. will compete against the
best mermaids In the country In this
national championship race, and local
Snrni and fanettes will wwalt the result
with great interest. It Is rtually as
sured that Miss Olga Dorfner, Philadel
phia's champion, nnd holder of the
women's Indoor records from tho 60
yards to 300 yards; Miss Gertrude Ar
telt, also of the Philadelphia Turge
melnde and a swimmer of note; Miss
Claire Galllgan, of New York, holder of
tlio outdcor records from tho 410 yards
to one mile; Miss Charlotte Hoylc, of
New York, Miss Dorothy Burns, of Los
Angeles, holder of the outdoor 100-yard
mark ; Miss Frances Cowells, of San
Francisco, nnd Miss Thelma Darby, the
fourteen-year-old wonder, of Indianap
olis, will start against Miss Durack.
To Tour Country
The Australian mermaid is at present
In San Francisco. Plans have been out-
lined for a tour of the Pacific coast
which will last until the end of July.
Negotiations are under way to have
Misses Dorfner, Artelt, Galllgan, Boyle,
Burns. Cowells and Darby nssemblo In
San Francisco In July and accompany
her on the remainder of her tour.
Tho coming of tho fair Australian
marks., a milestone in tho history of
American water sports for women.
Never before has a foreign champion
mermaid Invaded this land In search
of laurels, Miss Durack Is, more than
a champion. She is the greatest woman
swimmer ever de eloped In the world
She holds thirty-two International rec
ords everything from tho sprints to the
mile.
Gained Fame in Olympic Games
Mls3 Durack halls from Sydney, New
South Wales, and has been prominent
In aquatics for more than ten years,
but It was at the Olympic games In 1912,
In Sweden, that she first attained world
wide fame. The water carnival at
.Stockholm, attracted Europe's premier
swimmers, but the Sydney maidftiot only
defeated one and all In luiiipi-tltb-n
but she smashed to pieces the inter
national records for every event in
which she started.
Miss Durack uses the straight trawl
at all distances. The pewles! Hawaiian,
Duke Knhanamoku, , served her as a
model, while on a visit to. Australia, and
she affects both the latters' slow, pow
erful arm action and his narrow, contlnu-
ous leg thrash of even scope, whether
she la going 50 ards or one mllf.
Many wild statements rave btn made
regarding the chor-ises of the home girls
against their grut rlv.il, and It may
be admitted that iccuit.te comparisons
are hard to draw, for conditions affect
