The star vmllipau will be icadj for business on June 1 and his picsence will add greatly to the stiength of the ball club. We can chalk up about fifteen 'xtin victories for I1"- Phils ligut now.

Gavvy Treats Alex )'ery Roughly AX ACCOUNT of a ball game is not complete these dajs unless some men tion is made of Gavvy Cravath. who eidently has discovered the fountain ( jouth. The old boj was in great form, and the way lie manhandled the ' twisters of his former college chum was a shame. All he did was hit a single, double and a triple and send in the runs, hi the Hist he slammed a two- bagger to the right field wall. In the third Alex tiied to waste n pitch, but liavvy reached out anil rapped the sphere to right held. His longest clout came in the fifth, when he hit the l'ull sigu for a triple. Gavvy probably is happy today because of that rap to the sign, but a big disappointment is in store for him. No longer do they baud out the fifty bulk's for those bullscye shots. The pructiie was discontinued this year, according to reports, anil there will be no rewind. Tough' luck. George Whitted surprised the funs when he got away with the job at second base. The laptaiu did jiot foo.le a single grounder and acted lilo re-ular player. Against St. Louis lust Sunday he made four errors; but that was last Sunday. He has improved greatly sime then, (ieorge was an intielder when he broke into the fast set, and should be able to hold down the kc stone job until Sicking recoers. The Cubs do not look as formidable as we were led to bclieic. Theie is lots of room for improvement and Miuhcll will hae to step some to cop the pennant. Incidentally, Chicago was shoed out of fifth place by our, Phils something entirely unexpected. The home team might not he so bad after all. ninSIDK. T UAKIlll n mules after the game.

He has lost but two conflicts Kliner Jacobs is the leading hurler of the Phils, but the real stietjgtb is in the walloping abilities of the outfielders. Cravath is breezing nloii' at a ..rol clip, Cy Williams is clouting .:.!4 and Irish Metiscl has a mauling' mark pf .370. Kddie Sicking is the best whacker in the infield with ..'!i;j. MeUraw pulled the biggest bone of his. career when he allowed Lddic to drift away from the t'olo Grounds. Jack Coombs is getting the bitting, and if a couple of high -class pitchers arc uncovered be need not worry about the future. On the other mitt, let's consider the A's. With Perry staggering along under six straight defeats and the other pitchers going bad, we hae a perfectly good argument to spring when Connie's club is discussed. Then take the hit ting. Whitey 'Witt tops the list with ..'i-t:!. and next iu line is Ccorge Hums with .75. fiobby Roth, regarded as a leading slugger, has compiled a healthy average of .203, Walker is trailing with .138, Kopp .US and Thomas .HO 'THE A's are absolutely last in team batting, the players aic making 1 many mistakes and how can Connie win under those conditions lie can't.

He hurled against Washing- 1 ton in Philadelphia And dropped the de cision there. His only work in the West wns con fined to three innings as a relief pitcher in St. Louis. Wutson is the second Mackman to leave the squad since the A's started west. The other was Jimmy Dykes, the Main Line infielder, who is now playing with Charley Funk's At lanta club. (Three New Players Despite the fact that two have left the club, there will be three more mem bers in the clan when the homeward bound journey begins, than when the young men went west. The additions to the Mack payroll are Tom Rogers, the St. Louis pitcher, and Alvan Elliott, former Wisconsin star, who joined the club in Chicago, and infielder Dowd, ob tained from Detroit, who will put his baseball togs in the A's trunk in Tiger- town. Lee Fohl, manager of the Indians, also had the release spirit yesterday. He let out Joe Engel, also a pitcher. unconditionally. Engel was released without any strings attached by the Washington club last winter and Fohl signed him. He developed a sore arm this year and hns been of no value to the Indians.

Today when you go out to swing at the ball, You can't hit a shot from the tee, And tomorrow your mashic is no good at all As yon smear every lie that you see; - And the next day your putts never get near the cup As you foozle around with a curse; If it isn't one thing that is wrecking your-swi'ng, It is something that's even much worse. The Latest Star TN 100S Ty Cobb led the American League with a 'mark of .324. That same season JJans Wngner led the National with nn outburst nround .354. In the eleven years succeeding that incident the National League' has never pro duced a batsman able to turn out figures even close to Cobb. In 1012 Zim merman rose to .372, but that season Gobb reached .410.. The margin has always been n wide one. At last the older circuit has entered a new star to go out and'give battle against Cobb or Speaker. His name is Iloss Young, and, like Speaker, he claims Texas soil as his native sod. This is Young's second year in the main circuit. He is a better all-around ball player today than cither Cobb or Speaker was at this soon btage of their careers. Young is undoubtedly one of the great stars of the game a slashing hitter, a star fielder, n fleet-footed base runner and the possessor of a won derful arm, - - T ISN'T at all unlikely that he will not only lead his league this cason, but that he icill at last lift the National League up to the high standout set by Cobb or Speaker. The Stardom Interval SPECTACL'LAIt stars emerge at rare intervals, Cobb flashed in 1005, Speaker and Johnson in 1008, Alexander in 1011 and Sislcr jn J015. Now we have Young popping out in 1018, with a strong chance that Hollochcr also will hold the heights. In the last ten years, out of the thousands who have slogged along the highway, only three or four outstanding stars have lifted their noble domes above the throng.
