1T7'1D GLEASON will be honored at Shtbe Park this afternoon. The scrappy
manager of the Chicago White Sox will open a short scries with our A's,
and for the first time In his thirty-live years of baseball we will have a chance
to look him over as n regular manager. Gleason has been n player, captain
and assistant manager, but Comlskey
is the first man to place him In entire
chygc of a big league club.
The Kid has made good this year.
Taking the same line-up which fin
ished down in the race last year, he
instilled a little fight nnd spirit, gol
off to a flying start and now is up ic
the race, battling for the lead. lie
sprang n big surprise when the pitch
ing staff wns turned loose, and before
the other clubs realized It many vic
tories were piled up. Eddie Cicottc,
considered a has-been last year, has
won elcVen and lost one; Lefty 'Wil
liams came through with eight vic
tories and four defeats, and Red Fabcr
has a count of five and three. The
pitchers have helped win most of the
conflicts, but the slugging outfield also
assisted.
Gleason is a I'hiladelphian and
once played with the Thils. He
started as a pitcher, but soon discov
ered he was a better inficlder. He has many friends here nnd today will be
presented with some sort of a gift before the game stun. . Herman Taj lor has
received healthy contributions from many ndmirers and will ha c cha.gc of
the donating party. John Smith, chairman of the New Jersey Boxing Commis-
i' hion, lias been asked to deliver the principal address.
fHE White Sox icitl play only three games, leaving here on Tucs-

day night.
Phillies' Team Batting Average Is Misleading
"TOV never can tell the standing of a ball club in the pennant derby by taking
'n look at the official batting averages. It is Bald that figures never lie,
but in the case of our Phils the figures certainly would put one on the wrong
trail. A stranger, seeing the team batting nnd runs scored for the first time,
would imagine the men of Coombs were climbing through the roof of the league
Instead of trying to bore a hole through the bottom.
The Phils arc second in club batting, second in the scoring of runs and
Fecond in the total number of base hits. That dope can be found in the official
K-Sfi?rs batting averages, but it's a different story in the won aud lost column. In that
fisas 1 department the home folks are in seventh place and can t go any lower because
Boston has the 1010 rights aud privileges to the cellar.
L Coombs has a mystery ball club this year. It should be up in the race,
but it isn't. Instead of seventh, it should be third or fourth, because the men
are hitting the ball, scoring many runs and doing ever thing except winning
games. The Giants, who are leading the league, have spiked the pan 186
times in the 1910 season. The Phils have spiked it 18.1 times only three
Iras. In swatting base hits the locals have connected safely 363 times, Brook
lyn being first with 306. This dope is all out of proportion and it surely looks
strnuge and unusual.
A ball club must register base hits and drive in runs in order to wiu
games. The Phils arc doing thnt very thing, but are not, winning. Three
men Cravnth, 'Williams and Meusel arc among the first ten leading sluggers,
rGavvy topping the list with .431. 'Williams is hitting .331 and Irish Meusel
has compiled a mark of .308. In addition, Fred I.uderus has taken a big
brace and now has an average of .13)7, and Jack Adams is .1201.
There are five men hitting over .200, but another freakish angle is the
scoring of runs. Cravnth lias registered twenty-three times, Meusel twenty
three and Cy Williams twenty-five.
The present losing streak is due in a great measure to the absence of
Bancroft and Sicking. These infielders were injured, Banny sutaining a
broken leg nnd Sicking a sprained ankle. The infield has been shot to pieces
the players have lost confidence aud that probably is the answer. Whitted is
doing well at second base, but he is not a good infielder. Many hits get by
him at critical times and his throwing is not of the best. When Banny and
Sicking come back the Phils will do the same thing but not until then.
ALL of which goes to shoic that you never can tell in baseball. It
is an uncertain game, ilte dope ofttimes goes flooie, but it is that
uncertainty ihich makes it interesting.
it Connie Proves He's Patient Plueimr
ON THE other .mitt, consider the A's. Connie's clan is firmly intrenched in
the cellar, cvidcntlybelicving that is the proper and most popular place
after July 1, and rehearsing for a long stay.
Connie is a patient plugger, but must feel discouraged over the work of
bis hired men. They nrc not consistent in anything except losing. They play
swell ball for six or seven innings, then hit the Bkids and don't recover until
the other gujs have scored enough runs to win. They perpetrate childish boners,
foozle miserably on easy chances and just can't get going. ,
Bobby Both has'como through and now is slugging .324. He is going
good now and should keep it up all season. Whitey Witt, the tensation of the
league this jear, maintains a high average and is among the larruping leaders
, with .320. But when you mention those gents you are through. The' other
players are down in the list, George Burns trailing with only .241. Tilly
' Walker is hitting .217, Perkins .203, Thomas .180 and MeAvoy .136. Dugan
? U only .223 and Shannon .259.
ith poor hitting like that the As have no license to win. Only two men
fp enu deliver the punch and it takes more than two to win ball games. Walker

But Connie needs a hard-hitting inficlder nnd is on the job in scorch of
ytf one. 'Mack will stop at nothing to improve his team. He signed Barrus to

pvTHEIt big leaguers continue to slip,
but there is one boy who just keeps
whaling nwny consistently enough to
maintain the pacesetting job in the
National League. This is Charles
(Cactus) Cravath. Despite a loss of
nineteen points the veteran Phillie out
fielder is miles ahead of his nearest foe
with a rating of .431.
Cy Williams picked up six points, but
bis gain was offset by the skidding of
Meusel who has fallen from .333 to
.303. Luderus is moving slowly toward
the select, now being within three points
of the .300 mark.

-L That year the finish was nip and tuck among Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit K
and St. Louis.
St. Louis slipped first in the last week. Then with three games to play, V
meant victory or defeat, -which meant, in turn, winning or losing n pennant.
Cleveland fans will swear the play was not even close. At nny rate, it was
given against them and Cleveland failed again.

LAST year Cleveland bad a ball -club coming at every bound. But
tcith a fine chance to overtake the Red Box the season teas shortened V
just as the InSians were sweeping to the front, and they were nipped , JJ
again. '
' Battle With Fate
SO CLEVELAND always has felt that she had a battle against Fate as well j
as against the other seven contenders. If it hasn't been one thing it alwayi "
has been another. . ' "(
This season Lee Fold has presented another strong club. He hns shown ,
an attack that ,has made more hits and scored more runs than any other ,
club in his league. ' .
He has plenty of good pitching around, n strong defensive infield and a
fine outfield, with Speaker still at his best. If Fate will let him alone he. hag
a club that should be 1-2. But only recently Harris, his star first baseman,
en route home from Frarite, was badly Injured nnd may never play again;
THAT was no soft blow in itself. But it hasn't been a crippling one,
and if Fate only lays off Cleveland again has a first-class chance. ' "

WN THIS respect Cleveland and New York, in the American League, ,
Aate suffered worse than any others, and the result is that neither
has ever won a pennant with all the stars iheyhava tossed out upon
the field.
SINGLES AND BUNGLES
THERE is more evidence that the attack-
alone is not sufficient to keep
a feara on top. Cobb and Veach, with
ratings of. .355 and .351, respectively,
are one-two in American League bat
ting, but the Tigers are not in the lead.
This is another argument in favor of the
defense.
Whitey Witt and Bobby Roth, of the
Mackmcn, now are safely over the top.
Whitey nailed the old sphere for a
thirty-five-point gain, which is a con
siderable advance for any one. Roth
started his dashing drive two weeks ago.
His work last week was good enough to
register a seven-point gain.
