League boss believes he was handed a raw deal. In fact. It would not be .at all surprising to see a split In the ranks of O. B. Perry was driving n truck In Chicago this spring when Manager Mack decided to take a chance and send him transportation to Jacksonville. All (Of the other clubs had forgotten about him and when Scott showed promise deal was made with Atlanta. Connie was the for he was assured that the A'.'anta club 'owned the player. However, the old Boston claim bobbed up when Perry -started to startle the league, and it held good despite the fact the pitcher 'was not even placed on Stallings's reserve list. It's a funny deal no matter how you look at It, and Connie certainly has a good case or he wouldn't .fight back. The loss of Perry would cripple the Athletics more than any one "Imagines. He is the best pitcher on the club and cannot be replaced. With George Burns about to be called in the draft and Perry taken away through the commission's ruling, about one-third of the strength of the A's will be Most. No wonder Connie refuses to give up without a struggle! Boston Took a Chance and Got Aivay With It "DUT you cannot blame George Stalllngs for taking a chance on getting "- Perry. Boston is In need of pitchers" and the star Mackman would fit Jn nicely in his batting order. Stalllngs made an attempt to get the player tand won the decision on points. He would have been a boob If he had qult without a struggle. Now he says he will take some other player in- "tead of Perry, but who will he get? The matter now must be decided 'according to baseball law and the legality of the National Commission's ruling determined if the commlsh will stand for a thing like that, for it Is believed that Its laws cannot be revoked. Strange as It may seem, the Braves are a good ball club at present. "Jack Hendrjcks says Stalllngs has the best team In the National League, with Cincinnati second. Boston must have improved quite a little In the last month, for when the team was here early In the season it looked like tone of the sdest aggregations ever seen on the local grounds. There was rno team p'ay, the pitchers were terrible and the hitting was conspicuous by Its absence. The addition of Fllllngim and Dick Budolph helped a lot and Charley Herzog put some pep In the Infield. Red Smith started to clout the ball and the others followed suit. The club now Is In fourth place and 'has a good chance to climb higher if Perry finally moves to Boston. Perry, however. Is said to be on the outs with Stalllngs and entertains fo kind feelings for his club. It is said the pitcher remarked that he would rather take a job In a shipyard for the duration of the war than go back Aa the Braves. This Is nnnther ancle to the case.

In two days the clubs have limped through thirty-eight Innings of baseball and accomplished nothing outside Of a little exercise. Yesterday a double-header was split and the fifty-fifty -stuff was perfectly satisfactory for Pat Moran. The opening act went ten stanzas and was broken up by Gavvy Cravath's home-run clout into the left field bleachers, while the second was a nightmare, the Cards winning ,fby the count of 6 to 3. With his sixteen players Jack Hendricks accomplished wonders in the ,'double bill. He died hard In the first, but took the lead In the fourth chapter of the second and never was headed. Clifton Heathcote, the demon slugger, gummed up the works for the home folks, getting three hits In the night cap and one in the eye-opener. Hornsby, Cruise and Paulette also assisted with timely blngles. Hendricks has a smart ball club. The men are on their toes all of the Mime, always are fighting hard and take advantage of every opportunity. In the seventh round of the second conflict Paulette walked and went tn liKj!

VwflP 1 By PAUL PREP Bill Tilden, Id, tennis plaer extraor dinary of the Cymvjd Club, of this city, no longer Is in this section. He is sta tioned with the United States signal corps at Pittsburgh. The former Red and Blue net star left this city late last evening and joined the colors this morning a few hours after reaching the smoky ton. But before departing from Philadel phia he played the leading role In a farewell sketch, "I know you'll remember me when I'm oer there." To say that he performed the duties required and expected of him In a successful man ner is describing his play very lightly. His acting was the big feature of, the day, and he made a hit with everybody, except, of course, the Mains in the skit. The villains, this time, howeer, weren't as villainous as In other plays and weie the first to congratulate the hero on his great acting. Two Acts The play mentioned above was staged yesterday on the beautiful courts of the Merlon Cricket Club, at Haerford, as the grand finale of the Pennsylvania State lawn tennis championships tour nament. Tilden appeared In both acts, the singles and the doubles. After three hours of beautiful playing the specta tors were unanimous In declaring that he deserved the titles In both events. nverythlng went along smoothly in the first act, the singles, but for a time it appeared as though the doubles cham pidnshlp would have to be postponed until today because of the slight drizzle which was falling. Heavy and dark clouds had gathered overhead to watch Tilden play his final match as a civilian, and a downpour wouldn't have been a surprise. Tilden, however, wasn't anx ious to stay over another day, !o he opened up a few more notches, sent the pill sailing over the "net with won derful speed and won the last game and incidentally the set and champion ship in quick order. Hasn't Lost a Match The two matches yesterday were a fitting climax to a short but exception ally successful tennis season for Bill Tilden. He has been competing on the courts since the seson first opened, some time ago. During this time he has faced some stiff opposition In New York, Brooklyn and elsewhere, but always his message home was, "I have met the enemy and they are mine." Not a single contest was lost. His playing In these many tourna ments stamped him as one of the favor ites for the national singles champion ships. But ho didn't want to stay around and Just play tennis while the others were doing their bit to help Uncle Sam. He was anxious to do something for his country. Putting his plan Into effect, he enlisted in the signal corps. He was given permission to finish the Pennsylvania State tournament. How well he did the Job already has been told. Perhaps he will be unable to compete In the national singles championships this fall. If he does and Is in good shape, then the others had better be on their guard. If he doesn't It's a different matter. But his playing throughout the country has earned him many laurels and friends and all are pulling for him to come through in his new Job. Dr. Hawk Outclassed He was pitted against Dr. P. B. Hawk In the final round of the singles yester day. The veteran's steady-going play was far Inferior to Tllden's sensational driving and lobbing. Time after time Tilden would come up "to" the net and smash drive after drive past Hawk. Tilden won all but two ot the twenty games played, dropping the third and fourth games ot the first set. The scores were 6-2, (-0, 6-0, the last two corre sponding to a perfect game In baseball, no no-hit, no-run contest, In the doubles match the going was more complicated, as the Walla Walla clubmen would say. Paired with Carl Fischer, the Lower Merlon High School star, Tilden was forced to four fiercely played sets before gaining his objective, the State title, from G. C Shafer and John Bell, Jr. The scores were 7-5, 7-9. f ), -4. This was a. great match, and anly,,U great ilnh,j..TIWa, (htm GAVVY CRAVATH HITS HIS HUNDREDTH HOMER Only Four Other Sluggers in Majors Have Reached That Mark Since 1884 GAVVY CHAVATH established a major league record yesterday after noon when In the tenth Inning of the first game he knocked a home run In 'he left-Held bleachers This was his hundredth circuit clout since entering the big league ten years ago. Others have beaten his mark In their major league career, but Cravath Is the first to reach the century In such a short space of time as nine yeais. Only four other sluggers have reached this mark since 1884. Sam Thompson, who played with Detroit and the Phillies from 1886 to 1898 and ended his career with an nverage of 341. walloped 12il homers and leads all of the others. This mark, however, as made In thirteen years, lloger Connor, the old first baseman of the New York Giants, made 111 homers from 1885 to 1897. This was made In the olden days when the pitching had not reached lt present high standard. Kd Delehanty piled up 105 four basers In sixteen seasons. Wagner Also Made 100 Hans Wagner also broke Into the se lect circle, but It took him exactly twen ty-one years to accumulate an even 100. Thus Gavvy's record stands out as the best since 1884. Cravath has rapped out ninety-eight homers since joining the Phillies in 1912. His hitting always featured the games and now, despite his age, he is consid ered one of the best players on the club. He broke into the big show In 1908 with the lied Sox and made one home run that season. In 1909 he went to the White Sox and biffed another. In 1912 he Joined the Phillies and made eleven his first year and follocd with nineteen, nineteen, twenty-four, eleven, twelve and two. When he gets two more he will have a record which should stand for years. In 1016 games he has been at bat 3105 times and hit ninety eight homers. His record since join ing the Phils Is one home run for every 10 1-3 games, or one out of every thirty-two times at bat. Remarkable Record This Is a remarkable fence busting career, but the remarkable part of It is that Gavvy seldom hits for an aver age above .300. His best year was In 1913 when he tied Schulte's record with nineteen circuit clouts and hit .341, That year he made more hits than any other batter, led In homers, was Becond In doubles, third In triples and drove In more runs than any other man In the league. He had a total of 119 extra bases, which Is going some. In 1915 he smashed all previous marks with twenty-four long wallops and to taled 266 bases for the season. However, he made but 149 hits and his batting mark was .285. This is far from be,ing a swell average when you look at the mob In the .300 class, but Gavvy was more valuable than one of those rare birds. He scored more runs than any other man In the league, and drove in more runs than any other batter. He was seventeenth on the list of hitters, but should have been first on point of service. Here is his home run record: Year 1908 1900 I91Z 1913 1914 191K IBlfl 1917 1918 Grand UUI 1016 3437 100 ,029 If batting means anything at all, It means smashing, offensive work for your own club and an ability to demolish the defense of the opposing team, Cravath has done this year after year, and al though he Is famous throughout the country, he Is not given the full credit he deserves. He is the most valuable man in the National League today, and although nearly thirty-eight years old, fields his position well and Is not a truck horse on the bases. He Is the undisputed home-run king; but, more than that, he should be monrch of all he surveys In the hitting line. Never Considered a Star He lever has been considered a star. In fact, he Is too modest to claim any honor for hlmsejf, Oavvy will tell you frankly that he Is not the best fielder In the world, does not shine on the base paths and Just plays a. mediocre game ; but his records disprove It. He Is a 'star, but never has commanded a star's salary. He has received less money than any other slugger In the league, but he never worries about It. He never has been a holdout, never worried about what would happen 'to htm In the fu ture, but kept 'on deMverlng day after , doing his bjt -jWMJifrlylBg, la (rM. " i? ..liaLaaP iZr',.: x a .

However, he played so well In the South that Pat Moran decided to use him regularly, and he has been In right field ever since. Gavvy is popular whether he steps up and knocks the ball out of the lot or strikes out with the bases full. The fans recognize ability and they know that King Gavvy is trying all of the time. R. w.

By CHARLES. (CHICK) EVANS, JR. I notie'ed last evening that I showed a tendency to 'lean over too much on my mashte shots, but- If I held my weight steady, as It was, on the back ward stroke, Instead of swaying back, they went fine with the full follow through. I noticed, too, that .the balls often flew unevenly, even when I hit them right. This was occasioned partly by the lie, or to something getting In between the clubface and the ball at the moment of Impact, but principally I consider this trouble due to the balls themselves. The average golfer collects balls of all kinds and ages for practice and this frequently proves. to be a mis take. There are many different kinds of practicing, but If your kind, like mine. Is going out and hitting a great many balls,. It Is well to be careful ot their kind and condition. I do 'not recom mend any particular kind of balls, but having chosen I do recommend sticking to one's choice for a whole season. A man must" know his ball, for every make differs a little and that little difference can easily prove one's undoing In a close match. Therefore, I recommend using the same kind of balls for practice, being careful to see that they are not cracked pr otherwise defective., for In such case nothing can be learned from their flight. - - Tries Loose' Grip In trying out a few putts yesterday In the closing .hours of daylight I was anxious to see .how the loose grip worked. I did not have much success at first, and found that I was not swinsr- 'lng back properly.' My wrist was'too tight, but by loosening up and bending It easily back -straight I got results. I found that It was very Important to bear in mind the fact that the stroke must not be stopped at the Impact. You must swing Just as If the ball were not there. That loose grip .used on the full shots with Irons was a great help, too, and it caused 'me-to relax my body to fine advantage. .. r , , On bunker shots I was quickly brought to realize that the stroke I have been using Is wrong., There Is only one right way to' play a 'bunker .shot, and that Is to play the "sand. behind the ball, but my fault was taking" up too long a swathe of -sand, y You.cannot jab the shot,-hut the . ctubhead must' Veep on going Into a follow' through. The sand forces the ball out, and it Is surprising how nicely the ball comes out, and this shot Is especially necessary' If you are close to a bank. Or cop. "I have had many a 'disaster playing bunker shots "clean."
