BALL CLUB IN PHILS
Coombs's Toilers, Counted Out of Pennant Race, Have

JACK COOMRS was uot orntinc, through tlic brown uYrby when lip rcmiirkrd
a short time ago that the Phils would hnve nn ititrrrMiiiK bill olub this
year. The recent scries with the Giants rivps Colby .Inwn the division, for
his noblo athletes performed in n most intcreitinj: mnnner nnd snared two of
the three conflicts. Ordinarily the winning of n series means nothing in the
young lives of our riiils, but when New York bites the dust nt the MtkolT it
la something else again.
For a long time McOrnw had the Indinu sign smeared all nvrr the home
folks. Alexander seldom could win a game, nnd when Hig Pete fell down on
trio job the other pitchers on the club realized they had little dinner- to do any
thing, and acted as such, livery time the Giants needed n victory thrj would
play the Thils, because the only thing in doubt was the sire of the score. It
will be remembered that last jear the boys aided New York ronsidernblj In
Winning eighteen of the first nineteen games, losing to the Oothamites with
nmazing consistency and regularity. Ittit that was last jenr.
Now there is a different spirit on the bill club. The I'lnls Invo started
out with nothing to worry about. All of the experts have selected them to
finish in last place, so they have everything to gain and nothing to lose 'lliey
cannot do worse, so the players decided to enjov themselves, forget all about
winning the pennant, undergo no mental strain ami make things interesting
for their opponents. Their minds are as free as the nir. which is ideal for
ball players. Sometimes they do better when they don't hnve to think.
Jack Coombs has proved himself n shrewd, brainy man-iger, and is re
sponsible for the mental condition of the players. lie knew he vvu-, undertaking
B,big job when he signed to manage the club and derided to use an entireh new
system. Ho copied after no one, put on his own original stuff and had the
nerve to assume the entire respousibility. He got the bojs in good spirits the
very first day of practice in chilly Charlotte, made them nji" their work and
brought them back in wonderful physical shape. II is nmri "f i n.np'iuion
than a boss and the players will go the limit for him.
5TRAyGE as it may seem, the Phils hate crul'ij" r twilling,
aggressive spirit tliis year. It looks as if they am nut tn piovc
they have no eighth place ball club, and thus far have been successful.
At any rate, they aic playing interesting baseball, and that's what the
fans want to sec.
Coombs's Shifting of Players Wise Move
AGAINST the Ginnts the local sluggers have soaked a huge tloek of biugles,
and that, too. has made a hit with the public. Hard-hitting baseball
clubs always have been popular and the Thils have started out in the right
direction. Coombs's re edible outfield, with AVhitted. Mcusel and Cravath
against left-handers, nnd VThittcd or Moutl. Williams nnd Leo CaUahnn
for the starboarders, have ruined the New York pitching staff and probably
will make it unpleasant for others. Cj Williams, for example, is a bear
against right-handers, but a terrible ham against southpaws. The same goes
for Callahan, so Jack's shifting of plnvers is a civ wise move.
Another good stunt was diopping Mousel to seventh place in the batting
order against right-handers. Iiish is a good hitter and has many chances to
deliver in a piuch. Timely slugging is needed down there.
The Fbils will face a different proposition today against Brooklyn. At
present the Dodgers have the best pitching staff in the league, having proved
it by taking three straight from Boston. Those alien twirlers will give us a
line on how good the local batters are, and the eoniiug series should be hard
fought and very close.
" "' Last week marked the opening of the big league smson. The Phils,
Brooklyn and Cincinnati furnished the surprises in the National and the A's
and 8t. Louis in the American. The Browns were wore tlnu wis expected
and the Athletics mamged to split with Washington with Itnth in poor shape
and Walker laid up with a sprained unkle.
Cincinnati, however, furnished the big nnisn with a btr light run of vie
torics over the Cards. Two weeks ago the Reds looked like starters in the
Epworth League, but took a brace when Kopf and Rousch decided to sign
and Rube Bressler got out of the nrmy. Pat Moran already has made a hit in
his new job and the fans are said to be thinking of presenting him with a diamond-studded
washtub or something like that.
HAyK GOWDY shotted remarkable self-control irhcn he passed up
a fat contiact on the vaudeville stage to play icith the Braves
Hani evidently knoics he tcill see better acting on the bench this year
if Stalltngs continues to lose ball games.
Revenge Act On Between Ritchie and Leonard
BENNY LEbNABD and Willie Ritchie arc ready for their eight-round
argument in Newark, N. J., tonight. Leonard is nniious to prove to
the eastern fans that the battle on the coast was a big mistake, while Ritchie
s confident he will demonstrate his superiority over the lightweight champion.
Ritchie won a four-round tilt with Benny, blinked his eje and mussed his
hair, causing a big sensation in fistic circles. Tonight will be the return match,
with the revenge motif predominating.
There probably will be no knockout tonight, but the men will show some
scientific stuff which will please the fans. Ritchie has more coufnIpi.ee than
in the first battle and may play a waiting game instead of tearing in to finish
his foe at the start. This is not the best way to fight Leonard in an eight -round
tilt, for the champ has u way of crossing his right and ending things
when least expected. Bennj, however, may carry the fight to Ritchie, uud
If this happens there w ill be plenty of excitement.
This is the first bigibout to be held this year and is the forerunner of a
number of important ones to be held this summer. Boxing will have a big
season, with Willard and Dcmpsey topping the caid. Here in Philadelphia
Xeon Rains Jias planned some important matches for the Phillies' bull park
and is working on a bout to be held late in May. bhovvs will be held cery
two weeks.
TONIGHTLcu Tendlcr, who probably icill meet Leonard this sum
mer, tcill box Jimmy Duffy at the Olympia, Lew is tn good shape
for the lout.
In Montreal Johnny TMman is booked to meet Jack Brossicau,
the Canadian xceltcriccight.
Relays Impressive, Despite Cold Weather
COLD weather prevented the breakiug of records lit the Pcnn relays, but
thcro was some high-class competition just the same. Perm's uctory in
the, one-mile event was impressive, as wns Chicago's woik in the tno-milc
championship. The latter race was the prettiest seen in jears. Harvard was
close at all stages and it was not until Speer started to sprint in the last
nuarter that the Crimson fell behind. Poor marks were made in the special
?". CTenta, but it is not surprising, uue amicics uau 10 iacc strong, com vvinus,

The Scientific Slugger
JOHN J. McGBAW says that he is no believer in the theory that all tho old
tttars were the best, but he still contends that Big Ud Delehauty was tht
most scientific of nil the sluggers.
Slugging and science are hardly sjnonymous terms. "Dclehanty was
different," says'MXGruw. "He could hit n baseball as hard as any man I
hac ctcr seen but ceu when taking a terrific smash at a ball ho could drive
it into right or left, ns the case demanded. I llne neer seen n hard hitter
who could place his drives ns Del could.
"Babe Ruth is a mighty walloper, but Ruth has no idea whether he is
going to drive a ball to light, center or left. He meicly takes the old wallop
and lets nature do the Hbt. Most of the piescnt-day sluggers belong to thqt
type.
l
r.V FACT, I don't know of one who can combine both systems'
uho can tear into a ball and place it at the same time."

Quality and Quantity
QUALITY nntl quantity in pitching geneinlly go together. The two best
workmen in baseball are Johnson nnd Alexander, nnd it is worthy of pass
ing note that these two have also pitched upon the average a greater number
of games than nm other contenders.
Year after year Johnson and Alexander range between fortv-five and fifty,
games n season, whore most pitchers find thirty-five games entirely sufficient.
Mnthevvson nnd Walsh were two others fiom lecent campaigns who had no
trouble pitching hftj games n jear, Walsh one season running up sixty-five
contests.
There would be a great deal better pitching on the average if pitchers were
worked once every four da.vs. One of the main reasons why Stallings drew such
effective pitching in 1014 was tint he woiked Rudolph, James and Tyler in
turn beiause lie had no ouc to fill in.
THE result was that Rudolph, Jnmci and Tyler did better work
than they ever did brfoic or ever will do aaain.
