was nil excited tind muted restlessly in his seat in the dugout. Like Mnnager

So the game went on and the Phils went out until the Cards had scored

A New Ouiinet
THERE will be n new Oultnet or, rather, n Ouimet of the old Yardon
Ray days when the young Tlostoninn resumes his golfing career this
senson in the open championship at Drnebuni.
The professionnl-amnteur storm was breaking about Ouimet's head in
101.1. his last competitive year, nnd he felt it coming.
The result wns thnt he played indifferent golf all Mint year, for bis heart
wns not in his play. He finished far down thn rut nt Bnltusrol in the open,
cavort In badly nt the nmnteur, where he tvns beaten by .toung Stntidish. of
Detroit, and later, paired with Travers against Evans nnd Onrdner, helped
ou only one or two holes.
The shadow has been lifted nt Inst nnd Ouimet is playing with a new spirit
Ibis spring. He recently had a 71 oter the hard Iliaeburn course, and once
more bis long tee shots arc whirling far down the fairway.
IIWA' or lose at Braeburn, he will be one of Ihe rnotf formidable
W entries in the big gatheiing.
Alex Must Start Soon
WHEN Orover Cleveland Alexander reaches the middle of May without
having turned in n victory, his clinnce nf reaching the thirty victory this
nbbrevinted season bnd virtually vanished. Tims explndefh nnother record,
unless the ex-cniinoneer bns more ammunition nt blind than he has ever had
before.
, These Oinnts nre n bizarre outfit. They bnve Ihe oldest club in the league
ntld one of the fastest. As a rule, nge and speed nie not supposed to be
teauimafcs Hlong the broad highway ot sport.
nl'T in this lone instance. Ihe ancient order hat been reverted.
Another Transplanted Upset
RAY FISHER, the Vermont pedagogue, is another of those transplanted
upsets who seems to have benefited by n shift.
In six of his eight years with the Yankee.? Fisher failed to win half bii
games. He finished on the proper side of the mnrk in only two seasons. Then
he suddenly pops out nmotig the Reds nnd nicks four of bis first iivc gnmei,
taking Alexander in one ot his sfarts.
