"DAT MOKAX anil his flock ot Itcds will face a tough proposition this aftcr
" noon when they mingle with our speedy I'hils. The old wizard will have
v his hands full, for the local prides have been hitting only the high spots and
graveling on nil twelve cycliiidcrs, ns Lee Katmnn occasionally remains.
The home folks have established a record which lias shaken the very foun
dations ot Organized Hascball. It takes an awful lot to knock O. It. oft its
pins, but those five straight victories in a row. Hie winning of every game
played last week nnd playing love sets with both St. Looie and Chicago, to
say nothing of knocking Rig Alex anil Hippo Vaughn olT the well-kncwn
pitching mouud, arc enough to make even the strongest organization hit the
mat for the long count.
The men of Coombs have pulled the unexpected, and that innkes them
popular with the fans. A month ago a man about town like 1'iank Mnckin
burst into gurgling giggles when it was suggested tlint the 1'luls piobablv
Would finish in the league, l'rnnk 'aid the would fiuNh m August, which
shows that even the wise birds can be deceived. However, we must admit the
Phils have upset all of the early season dope ami despite handicaps bine devel
oped into n high-class aggregation. When we looked over the line-up down
South last spring, nftcr visiting eight other training camps, we admitted it
was the eighth best team we bad observed in that section. Now it i :i pleasure
to say that the early season guessing was slightly in crior.
'iVhen the I'hils battle the lteiis in what should lie one of the greatest
games of the season this afternoon, I'at Moran will endeavor to prove to all
of those picsent that President Itaker made a nilstnke when he attached the
tinware, and John Wesley Coombs will tr to prove that he didn't. In nddi
tthn to that, the fans of our city have planned to bund I'at a lrjnl welcome,
wish' him all the luck in the world and hope he wins every game except those
played with the Phillies. Tt will be n gala occasion. Pat will lie prevented
with many gifts, the several thousand spectators will givo him a couple of
cheers and hope lie finishes second.
rJ,llIS rfoet no mrnn that Pat i unpopular or anuthing Ul,r thai. Put
llornn has many admirers in Philadelphia, is irrll thought of and
holds the respect and admiration of all, Ur m a great Imvrhnll man,
hut no longer m he a local institution, lie has left our mnUt, has
Irnetiled hy the change and trc v iih him every .?ccc.
Hitlers Arc Hitting; Pitchers Are Pitching: Thai's the Answer
"DDT to return to the Phils and the uninterrupted winning sticuk of five real
big league games'; To look nt (lie cold facts, it seems impossible, liau
croft is laid up with n busiod ankle ami cannot play for at least three more
weeks. His substitute, Kddie SnMng, also twisted his ankle and lie, too,
is on the drydock for repairs. With n patched-up iulield the bojs are winning
games and today nre roosting in the I'iKST DIVISION '. You can't beat that
unless you have n few cards up jour sleeve.
Of course there's a reason, and fortunately we do not have to look far
to discover it. First, Jack Coombs bas made good as n manager. He has the
"incn working for him and fighting to tiie last ditch. That was proved in the
game last Tuesday when the locals overcame a fivcsi,i lead nnd defeated the
iCards in the ninth. Then they soaked Alexander in the opening canto. of the
.Chicago scries and followed by routing Jim Vaughn.
The pitching was good in all of these games, but the hittiug was better
than that. Gavvy Cravath, the thirty-scven-year-old kid, pumnieled the
Iiorschidc out o shape and made tilings
g last wees unvvy nus uuucu in cicveu runs, scored iour nun connected with
j$ 'ive singles, four doubles and one triple. His, wonderful walloping xirtually
won the games for his team. Incidentally, Oavvy lias become a tegular again.
Uo was selected as a pinch hitter and occasional performer before the season
opened, and once more proved he was entirely too good for bench duty.
Irish Mcubel also horned into the slugging set nnd Fred Williams kept
up his good work. That meant the outfield was doinr; its s4mre with the stick,
nnd Fred Luderfls nssisted with a Hock ot biugles the latter part of the week.
TVhitted, too, obliged with three out of four on Saturday, giving Coombs five
"Very good hitters to manufacture runs.
George Smith was the pitching plienom of the week. Opposing Alexander
in his first game for the Phils, he twirled wonderful ball and showed bo had
the goods. It was a tough assignment for a newcomer, hut Smith was not
nt all flustered. His baptism of lire was a huge success.
11TI Tit Fppa Riiry ready for action on June I and .mobs, Smith,
Woodicard, Packard and Jiiadley Hogg m swell condition. Jack
Coombs need have no fear of the jutuie. If the sluggeis continue to
slug and the pitchers continue to pitch, he should worry. That first
division herth is a nice, comfortable roosting place.
Coombs Knoivs How to Handle His Players
"TACK COOMBS has a peculiar manner in handling his twirlcrs. Seldom
' docs he have a new man warming up, but tells the regular pitcher he will
utay in the game if the other guys hammer him for a million runs. This gives
tha moundsmen confidence in themselves and also make3 them work harder to
get the game over with.
"When George Smith joined the club he did not know what he was run
ning into. He had been with New York, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, the minors
and back to Xew York again ; had been treated like n rookie and had no idea
of his own ability. Lvcry one told him he bhould be driving a truck or selling
fish until he met .Tack Coombs.
"Smith," said Jack the first day the big hurler appeared, "you are now
,the property of the Philadelphia ball club and you arc here to stay. I don't
care how many games yt.u lose or how often you arc batted out of the box
but you are a regular and will be treated as such. You will be here until you
trip over; your whiskers or have to be wheeled out to the mound in nn invalid's
(.hair. "Your job is in no danger."
'T1IKX Coombs took Smith in hand, taught him some new stuff, im
proved on his style, sent him against Alexander and icatched him
'score a notahlc victory. Jack used the old psychology stuff and gave
a neio ttcirlcr the hest start a newcomer ever had. That's just a
modest peck into the methods used by Jairn Wesley.

The Best Putter
A GOLF devotee or divot-ee, as the case may be, wishes to know who is tht
best putter in America.
We never have been able to make up our mind whether the honor be
longed to Wnlter J. Travis or Jerome I). Trovers. Unquestionably those tw
were far in front of -all other rivals.
They first met around 1!(01, when Travers wns about seventeen ana
Travis over forty.
Kvcn iu that first match they both gave a brilliant example of putting.
Waller J. Travis litis been nhlc to do more with n putter than nny other
denizen in golf's realm. He is tlie greatest approach putter or he wns in
the history -of American golf. He was also ns deadly on tlie three nnd four
putt. Hut no American golfer cvrr iiud nnjthiug on Traers when it came to
holing tlie ten, tvvehe and even twenty footers.
rllF.HE two iverc stars enough lo hold the heights alone, Ouimet
is very good, but over the long route he isn't a Travers or a Travis
icith the putter. And neither is any one else. "
THL'RE is a leport out that the cx-crovvn prince has decided to take up golf.
He should begin practicing his drives, as lie wns short on most of them
between 1!)14 and WIS. Most of his approaches were also badly flubbed. Hut
the time be spent in dugouts should make him accustomed to the deepest
uuuiicrs tlint can lie tountl.
