THE one big joy at Shibc Park yesterday was Bobby lloth s hitting.
The A's captain added two more to his long ttring of home runs.
His circuit drive in the eighth inning went over the wall west of the

tripper. This went into the bleachers. But that wasn't all. Roth
also got a double and a single, giving him four hits for a total of eleven

The I'hili arc on their way to the
farthest point west in the parent circuit,
and as far as Mr. John J. McGraw and
the Giants are concerned,they can go to
St. Louis and stay there for life.
During their stop-off on Manhattan
Isle the Coombsmen copped a pair of
sames out of a four-set scries with the
Giants and snnred nn cighteen-inniug
battle from the Dodgers. The Phils
maj not have impressed Gotham and
UrooUljn fans as a great ball club, but
they scattered enough base hits around
Ooogau's Bluff and Flatbush to gain
the reputation of the greatest hitting
club iu the league.
Team Aerage ,&09
In their last fe games the Coombs
Cripples have whaled the ball at the
pleasing percentage of .300. Sixty-four
base hits have rattled off their bats for
an aerage of almost thirteen hits per
game, aud they linve bcoreu a granu
total of thirty-six runs, averaging n
fraction over seven tallies per contest.
Fred Luderus, Cy Williams and Jack
Adams were the hitting fiends in the
big town. Fiederick slammed the ball
at a .450 clip, getting nine hits out of
twenty times up. Williams collected the
same number of bingles out of twenty
two tries for .40!l, and Adams ripped
out six hits out of twice as many
chances for an even .000.
Even body Hits
The hitting was not confined to any
particular group in the batting order.
There was po chance for the Giant
hurlers t'o ease up at any time, for even
the pitchers were taking clean cuts at
the ball. With the exception of Harry
Pearce every regular in the Coombs
line-up hit ,'0 or better.
As a farewell to the ambitious Giants,
the Phils plastered an 8-2 defeat on the
McGrawmen jesterday. They slammed
Jess Barnes and Pol Perritt for nn even
dozen hits and seemed to put over runs
at will. Elmer Jacobs, despite a slight
fever, held the McGrawmen safe
throughout. They hit him eight times,
but with men on he tightened.
The following will give an idea of
how the Thils have been swatting in
their Inst five games:

WHEN JOIE RAY goes to the mark
on Saturday in his nttemnt. to
break Norman Tabor's mile record of
:i- -'-u. he will be ns confident as nny
man can be. This will have as much to
dp with Bay's breaking the record as
any factor outside of his condition.
Whnt I mean is that if Bay did not
feel that he could break the record he
would not have a chain e. A man does
not have to be conceited, but he must
have a certain amount of confidence in
himself to be a success on the track ns
well as in nny other walk of life. A
man who says that I can win nnd feels
that way will not lose. '
Bay Confident
Bay says that he is in condition nnd
will break the record, and I believe he
will. Everything points to his having
a good day and the right amount of
pacing, and the only thing that will be
against iiim will be that Frnnklin Field
is not ns fast this year as it has been.
However, the track is not so far out as
to make a great enough difference, all
other things being right.
With O'Connell, of Harvard, nnd
Crawford, of Lufajette, about sixty
yaids in front of him, Bay will have
to shatter a record to win. Any one
knowing the way .Toic goes after n field
of men will feel that the little machine
has a chance up until the race is really
over, and it is known that he has failed.
Both Speedy Pacers
Both of the men that are picked to
do the major part of the pacing are
4 :22 milers, and with sixty yards' start
on Bay they should do at least 4:12,
aslxty yards in a mile is worth ten
seconds at least, and with it taken off
of the distance, that they have to run, it
is worth more.
Bay worked out yesterduy afternoon
on Franklin Field and looked to be in
great shape. While he did not do much,
Forty-eight American
Stars Sail for France
New York, June 5. Like Jason
and his Argonauts sailing for the
Golden Fleece that hung from the
oak tree in the grove of Mais, forty
eight stalwart Yapkcc athletes sailed
on the Great Northern yesterday in
quest of the laurel wreaths of vic
tory that will be awarded the victors
in the big interallied athletic meet
in the Pershing Stadium, .Toinvillc-le-Pont,
near Paris, next month.
Included among the Great North
ern's passengers were thirty-four
track' men, seven swimmers, two
wrestlers, two boxers and three ten
nis players. The wrestlers, boxers
and tennis players came very ncaf
being left nt home, for yesterday
morning a cablegram was received
from General Pershing informing
Colonel Johnson, who is in charge of
the soldier team, that there was no
need of sending nny one except tiack
men and swimmers. They were taken
along, however.
and will do little or nothing the rest of
the week, I could see that he had plenty
of running in reserve.
Bay's race will be diffcrcut from the
one in which Tabor made ins lecoru.
Tabor was paced all together. That is,
one man went with hiin for a part of
the distance and then dropped out. Then
the relay was taken up by another
runner.
A Real Race
Jtay will race his field, and the per
formance will be of a better caliber and
really a race. Many have held that
the record made by Tabor should not
stand, but if Bay breaks it they can
not kick.
Penn will try to break two records
during the week. Davis, Landers, Smith
nnd Hajroond will be the team that
Lawson Bobertson will send after the
400-meter and 440-yard records and
flic 800-meter and1 SSO-yard records
lhi.s will be in two races.
The tape will be put up nt both dis
tances in both races, there being but a
few yards' difference between the 800
meters and 880 jards and a less differ
ence between the 400 meters und 440
jards.

Looking back from Now and Then,
I, within the night of fears, ,
'' Dream that I am back again
Back beneath the wide, kind sky,
In the orchard, half asleep,
Where the winds come dancing by,
Atfd tho summer shadows creep;

In my eyes the old, old gleam,
As I wander free from care
