In, the baseball' camps of the South. After a difficult to say nothing of a
perilous voyago from Philadelphia to Gloucester. N. J , tho Rood old ship I
managed to locate a Mr of the sand variety and just leaned against it
lor four hours. This Is the only bar we hae located on the trip, which
opeaks well for the good times to come after July 1. Just how wo hap
pened to hit the bar cannot be explained, but there must hao been only
one. Had there been three or four we would hae been In the vicinity of
.Gloucester, N. .T., yet. Our boat i"? a nosy old tiling.
The first couple of days we always were limning into something.
First we crashed head on into a denso fog, and tho fog won the decision i
on points. We took the count for three more hours off Wilmington, Del ,
but there was no objection. At that stage we didn't caie where we an- i
chored or took the count or anj thing.
' AFTERWARD ire ran into the breahuatcr, scoied a bulhcyc on
the ocean and almoit dclluctcd a Knockout wallop to a harmless
targe which was safely anchored tight in the channel and concealed
by a. dense cloud of mhl. Our aim uas poor, so we mlised the boat
in the mist by fifteen fret. After the passengers had taken oft
their life-preservers cicrythino tins loiely and our uncrTulful
t voyage continued.
Didnt Hit Any Submarines or Floating Mines
rnHEKE were no stiuy submarines or floating mines, because we didn't
JL hit any. The good old frigate, whose engines had been faithfully trained
nnd rubbed down b BUI Drew and his trusty assistants, devoted all of her
attention to pnning to one-tenth of the passengers that she was perfectly
at home in a heaw sea. The other nine tenths didn't care, for they had
lost all interest In the trip, meals and everything elte. Thev were exceed
ingly ill and did not hesitate to proe it In their own original way.
However, the Merrimack did some contortionist stunts which were the
pride and envy of the spectators. She endeavored to slldo backward, loll
sideways and go forwuid all at the same time, and succeeded in everything
except going forwaid Only one-tenth of the passengers noticed this.
Included in the nine tenths of the nuiicombatants were a dozen -uilois,
who were on their w.i to I'oit Rojal to become guests of Uncle Sam

After a couple of dajs of bouncing on the billows the passengers weie

Major Eggeman Praises Pat Moran as Manager
IT IS impossible to travel anj place these days without stumbling into a
discussion of basebsll and the prospects for the 1919 season. Every
one Is talking about the great national game, and it looks as if the ball
players would occupy the spotlight moie than ever. There is unusual
Interest in the sport, but this is only natural aftpr the blood) events of
the last ear over In Tianco
Last night as we were steaming thiough a quiet sea, the ship leaving
a trail of phosphorescence in its wake and a bright moon shining, u gioup
of passengers sat on deck and orated on the coming baseball season. Theie
'were Jack Gutman, Hen Brenner and Max Pressman, tiavellng men from
"Philadelphia; L. R. Booth, of Wayne, Pa, who. is on n health tup, and
Major F. W. Eggeman, U. S. A., who has been touting the East and Middle
Test. The major had the floor, because he is a great fan and once pla)ed
the game at Purdue. He also spent some time in Cincinnati, and it was
about the Reds that he talked
".You can figure tho National League race any w,i) ou with," said -the
major, "but you MUST admit, after sifting all of the facts, that Cin
cinnati will come mighty close to winning the pennant this )ear. Pat
Moran Is manager, and that means a whole lot. Also, the team Is one of
the strongest batting aggregations ever got together and the pitching staff
v' 5s beginning to shape up like a real one. New York may be good and
'r Chicago might have a flock of swell hurlers, but taking it all in all, you
ki can't overlook Cincinnati.

three-year war period of hibernation, and the result will be history's
greatest revival of sports.
There is unusual interest In baseball and the fans are eager for news,
not only of tho Phillies and Athletics, but tho other big league clubs as
well. The Evenino Public Ledqeh, with Its usual enterprise, will furnish
Its readers an expert revjew of every big league ball club in Florida,
Georgia and North Carolina, and has sent

Augusta, Ga. To Inspect the Washington Americans.
.Macon, Ga. To pass Judgment on the Detroit Tigers.
Columbus, Go. To study the Boston Braves.
' Charlotte, N. C. To analyze the Phillies.
From each of these camps he will send a story, setting forth In his
pungent, humorous style what the club In training has to offer In Its

Who Forgets How to Fig
ure in Counting Out Total
Strokes
SOME LOCAL INSTANCES
By PETER PUTTER
TTEAltS ago, when wo wcro gallery s
I
gods thero hung a sign In one of
the Chestnut stree theatres which read:
"Gentlemen will not expectorate, others
must not." Translated Into golf term3,
this will read: "Gentlemen will not
cheat, others must not."
Thero are two gamjes Jn whlch cheat
ing and unsportsmanlike play does not
go, aards and golf. In baseball pitchers
sometimes try to cripplo u batter by
hitting him in the head; basemen have
spiked runners In football many a
star has been put out of tho game by
clipping when the official was not look
ing. In the old days professional oars
men have been guilty of sawing the
rival's shell.
But none of that sort of thing goes
In golf, and the man who iheats, who
counts hl strokes wrongly or does any
thing that borders on anything that Is
not sportsmanlike Is a marked man.
Turned in Wrong Score
About ten years ago a local player
won a medal In an Invitation tourna
ment. Hntered In thin tournev war
a half dozen men with national reputa
tions. Yet this local man won yie gold
medal When the match play came he
was hopelessly beaten. Those who did
not know him could not understand this
reversal.
The man who qualified with him said
afterward that on the day of the play
he was a beginner and the other man
kept the score and that he signed the
card without looking at the total,
But the news traveled fast and pretty
soon his home club dropped him. The
following year he was not asked to play
In an lntitatlon tournament, yet he ap
peared on the qualifying day and In.
sisted on playing. The president, being
a gentleman, did not know what to do,
so he was gUen a starting time which
under most conditions would result in
daylight quitting before he could make
his round. His caddie said he saw him
drop a ball after his drive had been lost,
and while tho tournament committee
was sure that the boy was telling the
truth they decided to leave it to the
match play and- the first man defeated
him. But even today .ten years after
his original cheating, he is a marked
man,
Not Playing Now
Another local man qualified In a tour
nament and after it was all over the
youngster who was playing with him
said tho other man had told him to put
down scores which he knew were not
right, and-being green at golf he did bo.
In the match play he offered to let the
other man defeat him, but he had been
tipped off nnd he told the committee,
and when he came to the club tho next
day He was told that the club would
prefer he did not play. Two weeks later'
he- did the same thing in another tour
nament, and when the commlttoe was
told of this and the previous experience
he was told to get out. Hto own club
was also notified and he was dropped
from membership. He has not played
golf slrice.
Ono man who belongs to an eighteen
hole course finds It difficult to get
matches. And the reason for It is thot
ih several medal play tournaments he
has not returned the correct scores. Yet
to this day this man wonders why It Is
not possible for him to get catches with
his club associates.
