Cravath Finds Going Good in West HEN the Phils took those two games from Chicago l.ist Saturday the doubtful persons began to sit up ami tnke notice. That meant five vic tories in a row on foreign soil, which looks swell when compaied with the Bhow-ing made by the club on its last western jaunt Then fomteen straight conflicts were lost and the team went llooie. The showing of the club is a tribute to the mauageiial nfoilitv. of Gawy Cravath. When he took the job many fans said he got it beause he was the most popular man on the team, a good hitter and a hard worker. They doubted if he would make good, but i nine out strong with some boosts and their well wishes. Now thej can decide for themselves what kind of a pilot Gawy is. The club had Hopped into last place, the plu.vcrs were indifferent and everj thing looked sad and disheartening. Then came a new lease of life; a" couple of trades were made, new faces inserted in the line-up and some victories were chalked up. They pulled themselves out of last place and landed in sixth on Suttir- -day", and if that isn't going some we would like to know what is. Also, if Gawy is not responsible tor the winning spurt, kindly name the lucky guy. While the other ball clubs are fraiitlVsillj rushing from one place to another trying to trade pl.ivrrs, Cravath is likely to pkk up a couple of youngsters to stiengthen his nine The trading epidemic is running at full blast. New York, of course, grabbed the best left-hander in the league when Jvehf was obtained from Iioston, but Chicago also got a scrappy second baseman in lluck Herzog. Wonder what is the idea of the Knives disposing "of tlteir stnrs? Looks pctuliur or something like that. y-fllorzog, however, is one luckv person. lie was drawing a S10.000 salary on a contract which had but one jear to run.

Mike O'Doivd Real Patriotic Boxer I' TVP O'DOWD, middleweight champion of the world, has a stanch sup 1 J.VJL porter in J. Francis Ami, of the I'nited Slates chipping board. Jlr. Ami says Mike was the UUAL patriotic boxer and should not be overlooked. He writes as follows : "Dear Sir A shoit time ago jou wrote a stoij about Johnny Kilbane's tvprk in the nrm.v, and in so doing jou unconsciously discredited one of the STCAtest of American champions Mike O'Duvvd. the Fighting Harp. With due deference to the prowess of the featherweight champion, I am afraid he does not quite compare with O'Dowd in his war work, 'In ilnv. 1017. I nersonullv arranged with Lieutenant (now Cnntnini , , ., , - .. -.- .-- , . Charles F. Nicoll to examine O'Duvvd with a view toward his being accepted lor enlistment with the Twcntj -third liegiment of Infantry, National (Juurd of New York, now the lOtith I'nited States Infantry of the Twcntj -seventh Division, and he was rejected for bad ears and defective eyesight. (Captain Nicoll served with the 10.1th Machine (Jim Kattalion, Tweutj -seventh Di vision.) "Throughout the summer of 1017 O'Dovvd made up parties of his friends and entertained the First, Twenty-third and Seventy -tiist N'ew York Kcgi nients at their encampment at Van Cortlandt Park, and at a benefit to procure funds for athletic supplies O'Dovvd, as the attraction, drew an iflOO gate and refused to accept traveling expenses. This occurred July 127, V.)17. Further, his malinger, Paddy Mullins, threw open the doors of the Cler- fj wont A. C. to all members of the I'nited States service nnd permitted the various regiioents to recruit enlistments from among his audiences. "While the Twenty-seventh Division wns at Camp Wndsvvorth, S. C, A bout was being arranged for November 1.1 with Young Mike Donovan, a member of the lOl-'d Military Police. The bout fell through as O'Dovvd was signed to meet Al McCov, then champion of the Fourteenth. O'Dowd's H r share of the purse was to be donated to the camp athletic fund. You might II Bay it was no great feat for him to stop McCoy, and yet he gave Chip a return tight and met Mike Gibbons and Jack Dillon without losing the title. I IfVIIEX Mike shoiced himself to be a rtgular champion by signing up with Harry Greh on Xcir Year's day. JOS, and the result it history. He sure picked some boy to risk his croirn on his first appearance as the iitleholder. Went Out of Class to Win Points 'llfT0 CHOWN all O'Dovvd got his chance und went overseas with the Fifty X fifth Engineers as a member of Company F, but not before risking his title for the boys in service with no purse attached to the bout. Represent ing Camp Custer in the iutercamp matches against Eddie McGoorty, of Camp Grant, he won handily for his team. At this time nn effort was made to transfer him to the medical corps of the base hospital, and I had a letter from, Chairman Itay croft, of the military athletic committee, who offered O'Dowd the position of instructor. Instead O'Dovvd preferred service xvith Qie engineers, as previous to his success as a pugilist he was a telegraph line man. "After coming out of the Argonne, where be won his sergeantcy, O'Dowd, -atf ft member of the American team in the tourney for the King's Cup, went ' eat of his class to secure added points for the team, as he knew Augie ' liatner could handle the middles. In the light heavyweight class Harry L Ralph, of Canada, who bent Harry Greb, of the I'nited States navy, went 5f fjttt by the K. O. route in the third at the hands of O'Dovvd. i $ "In another tournament O'Dovvd was again warned he was risking his c crown, and'after whipping the runner-up for the title withdrew his entry so ;, that the lesser-known boys would get the fame of an A. E. F. championship. .: Could you ask more of a real man? .- s ' "He made repeated efforts to meet Georges Carpentier, the French idol, '' 1 TWehnmns. Carnentler's manager, paid no heed to the challenges. In X conversation with American officers Carpentier said he was not quite ready PlMd a man of O'Dowd's caliber. - "Upon Mike'B discharge he hurried home to his mother in St. Paul, and jd,flrst bout was with Al McCoy, whom he stopped in the .third round. Saeritly i,e stopped Young Fisher, of Syracuse, In five rounds. Isn't that jUffix you expect; of a champion? ,r'r f'Aod.m we' sura up our champions; "':T. , Dantaimvelght United Stales navy.

Through the acquisition of the Hobart Park estate in K.ve. one of the most picturesque parts of Westchester count the piestige nf the town of Hyc as a home for the biggest country club in the Knst is given a ninterial boost. A large force of workmen have be gun work building two mngniticieut eighteen-bole golf courses on the ptnperty, which wns recently pur chased by John Mel", ftovvman. Mr. How mail, as was announced a few weeks ngo, is to build in Kve the Hiltmore Country Club, which prom ises to be the most magnificent in stitution of its kind in America. It will have everything that one would possibly desire in the way of tennis courts, polo grounds, a track for horse shows, one Tor steeplechase, a lake for sknting, a place for slti-ing, a phi ground for clilldicn, a tobog gan slide, a bridle path, a :,wimuiing pool, a squash court, a place for trap shooting nud a magnificent billiard room nud bowling alley. The build ing of the two eighteen-hole golf courses, begun this week, is under the auspices of AV. J. Travis. FOR ENGLISH TITLE New National Singles Cham pion Announces Ambition to Row Abroad Next Summer IN HENLEY ON THE THAMES Jack Kelly, of the Vesper Club, is planning to go abroad for new bcull- ing laurels. The new national champion says he probably will make a try for the scull ing championship in the English Hen ley on the Thames next summer. It was thought that after Kelly reached his rowing ambition in winning the na tional sculling title he might hang up his oars nnd rack his shell, but such is not the case. "Nothing would be better," said Big Jack, "than to bring back a sculling championship from England, nnd that will be my aim next summer if every thing goes right." The showing of the Vesper Uoat Club in the national rrgnttn is still under discussion. With only four entries, three men to be exact, Coach Frank Mueller brought three championships back to the Schuylkill.

The leaders threw a jolt into Ambler, 2-1, in ivveivc sessions, nml wlien the Diss ton sawmnkers won over Dovlestaivn. 4-3, it meant that the Tncony Indus trials went into a tic with the cham pions for the runner-up berth. Ilcrt Castor, was the big hero in the fray and wns resilmsible for all the four counters. He made three himself and sent Hayes home with the other on a four-ply jolt in the opening session. There is another angle to the Mont gomery County League situation "which bears watching. It Is the work of two clubs now ill fourth nnd fifth positions, namely, Southampton and Newtown. They have come forvvnrd with n rush since Newtown signed Chick Holmes nnd Southampton secured Tommy" V0I7.. The former Hnrrisburg nnd Barrett star broke the league record on Satur day by disposing of eighteen men via the strikeout route. He is hurling even better thnn he dijl, prior to joining the team of I'ncle Sam. Holmes also was in the limelight on Saturday. v He breezed fourteen batters. At lenst five clubs in the Montgomery County League have a chance to win the per nant. J. & J. Dobson tops tho Main Line second-hnlf pennant possibilities. As a result. Bob Calhoun wears a big smile. The Kast Falls nine defeated Drexcl Hill's star aggregation by 3-0 in one of the most exciting games of the sea son. It. G. Dun continued its winning streak and humbled Autocar, 7-3, while Narborth blanked Lansdowne, 8-0. Textile is making quite a showing in this hnlf of the pennant race, nnd Sten- ton may yet meet a little resistance at least. Since Archie Campbell and Shorty Longmore joined Textile the club has not been defeated and its next ' clash with Stenton will about settle the pennant. GLEASON AND M'GRA W LOOK LIKE FIXTURES IN CHASE FOR FLAGS Whitepox and Giants Both Seem to Have the Essentials to Hold on, Though the YanJts and Reds Will Challenge Leadership at Intervals IN THE SPOUTLIGHT BY OKANTLAND IUCK Copyright. 1010. Alt rights reserved. Pennant Possibilities PICKING pennnnt winners at this palpitating stugc of the big league race is highly unprofitable. But if one were forced to pick nt the" point of the bayonet the best guess would be tho Giants nud tho White Sox, not so much because of the fact that they have been leading, but because they seem to have the essentials to hold on. In the National League Patrick Moran Is annoying the Giants considerably, and probably will continue to annoy them. At the start of the season Moran did not seem to have anything much, but at the present writing one John J. McGrnvv will admit under oath thnt ho has something decidedly resembling a baseball team. It will he recalled that Moron won n pennnnt once with one pitcher nnd not much else in the lino of bnscbnll players. While considering the National League one must not forget that Chicago hns a team in this league also. The acquisition of Davcy Hobertson ought to help the Cubs n little if Davey will concentrate on baseball. But everjr once in n while Itobertspn iigurcsthnt life will not be worth living unless' he can tack the title M. 1). nfter his name, and David begins to 3 earn for n session in n medical college. r:' he forgets for the lime that he is drawing aalary for partici pation in the national pastime. The American League . THH steady nscent of the Chicago White Sox nnd the steady slide downward of the Yanks are the two most noteworthy features of the American League. Before the Yanks started West they were leading, and the pennant-winning spirit seemed to be with the team. But they returned from the road with fifteen defeats and six wins as the harvest. The Yanks have not been an unlucky team this year, either. The athletes have proved themselves less brittle than they were under Wild Bill Donovan. Home Hun Baker is still intact, and there arc no cripples on the team. But they lost a lot of ball games. ' The Cleveland Indians certainly are contenders this jear. FAT FACT, Ohio, which used to turn out presidential timber by the M cord, is beginning to dream dreams this year of a teorld's scries confined entirely to the state of Ohio, with the Ileds and Indians sharing the spoih. The Veterans Hold Up THV, veteran infield of the Giants, over which many sages used to shake their heads at the start of the season, seems to be holding up fairly well.
