This near-nocturnal baseball is n big thing in Philadelphia. The funs
have fallen for it hard and the games draw large crowds. Hack lots have
been con,vertd into fencelevs stadiums, wooden lienrhes are placed around the
field nnd all of the mule members of the neighborhood, with n large portion of
the females, take an evening stroll anil digest their dinners while watching tho
ball game It's n swell .vtcm, because it takes one out in the open.
Last night, the hit at Chelten and Magnolia avenues was densely populitcd
by some ''"ilHi persons who iiad no other pliue to go. They crowded nround the
playing find hung in the three trees which stand like sentinels nnd are ns
active as tjpical ball-.Mird cops, and sat in tlieir b.nk jards which hung over

but is successful nii.vvva.v lie nn pick his pitchers, and shows uncanny
judgment in the selection of his opponents.
Manager Dine nlmo-t had n ball club when the game was called. All he
needed was n second baseman, a shortstop and a pitcher. However, Ajati,
the Chinese flash, appeared in time to play the short field; Conway was
inserted at second to perform in place of Danny McNieliol, and Geoghan re
ceived instructions to pitch them where tliej ain't. Manager Dave did some
speedy thinking and did not perpetrate u s-ngle boot. Those gents played some
well baseball while the shades of night were falling .

plays were pullrif nnd the pitchina ten superb, (lennhan allowed

One Lone Single Breaks I'p Game
171 DIM I? TUAVTWriN. former hero of Central High, was the bright sliming
" light of the evening. It was he'vvlio leaned heavily against n tntitnli.ing
twister served b Mr. derringer, busted it to right field for the first hit in
the first inning nnd knocked in the first run. 'iddie used excellent judgment
Or whatever it was, for the biugle tame at the iritical time and was not
wasted as- w.is his soak to left in the sixth. He made one-half of the bits
for his team, which shows the ndMintage of n high school education.
The conflict, therefore, was copped, captured, grabbed and otherwise won
in that initial inning, lied llnthwcll baniboo,:lrd (Jerringer out of n base
on balls. Aau, the Mongolian mauler, lolled a iiiudtl.v grounder near second,
and Joe McMcniinan endeavored to tag the rushing lted. This was an error
of judgment and both runners were safe. Ilentns proved he was a peerless
leader when he dumped a bunt in frmt of the plate instead of tr.ving to
knock the ball into the horticultural exhibit back of center held, and advanced
both runners. Kearney, who once was given a trial with St l.ouis and was
fortunate enough to escape, hit to U'Hourkc and ,Ioe made a perfect peg to
the plate, nailing Uothwcll.
Then came Ziddie with his right-field rap, and the winning run came in.
The crowd could have gone home then, because the other eight innings were
superfluous, so far as the result of the gnmc was concerned. However, nobody
was disappointed, because the pitchers engaged in a deadly duel, which
became exciting near the end.
J McMenimnn almost started something in the opener for Nativity when,
with two down, he chased Manager Ileiiuis into the tall brush to retrieve
his two-base soak. Mac was stranded on second when O'llourke took a mighty
wipe and rolled a sickly grounder to (ieoghan, who could ltnvc fielded it
with his feet. Mcisler, one of the best kid third basemen in the semi-pro
ranks, busted a binglc in the third, but that, too, mine after two of his pals
bad gone the route and he was left high nnd dry at first. '
rPHOHK tiro safeties sufficed until the ninth, the Sntiiity gents going
out in one-two-three order, Seteral suell phus were made,
one being a great catch by Hcnnis he's tu nymii on Hill Fish's liner.
This Attempt to Steal Home Fatal
rpiIE last four innings were played in semidarkness nnd perhaps that nc
" counts for the remarkable pitching. All the hurlers had to do was to
throw the ball straight, using some speid and the batter would swing and hope
be connected. It was hard to see the dark ball whizzing past, but the pitchers
should worry. Many athletes on each side took their three swings and sat
down amid cheers from the other side.
Many believed the conflict would be cnlled at the end nf the seventh,
but Joe Ferguson, who umped behind the plate, insisted on earning his salary
and made them work union hours. Uothwcll made a great one-handed stab in
the darkness when he speared Flannigan's grounder with his mitt and threw
out the runner nt first. According to Hoylc, thnt should have been a safe
wallop, but the glove was in the way.
Hut the ninth inning wns great for the llichmondites. Mcisler, who
always is stnrtlug something, rolled one to the left of Geoghan and the
pitcher committed an error on his peg to first. Mudden then made his first
safe hit since IS!)!!. 11 hit the bull to the right of Ainu nnd the shortstop,
losing the pellet in the gloom, dashed to the left to make the play. Mcisler
Went to third and Madden was safe. McMenimnn nud the umpire differed in
their opinions as to what constituted a strike nnd, as usual, the umpire won
and Mac ingloriously whiffed. O'llourke wns tossed out by Conway.
That brought Mahafley up, and Meisler wns impatient. H was convinced
that a guy sticking around third never could score the tjiug run, so he took it
upon himself to swipe the home plate, (letting n good lead, he tore homeward
while Geoghan was winding up. The ball sailed toward the batter and
Mabaffey swung. He hit a foul tip nnd, strange as it may seem, Kearney
held the ball and got the runner on a very close decision. After that the stuff:
was off. The crowd departed on a still hunt for some movie, and Germantown
chalked another victory on the slate.
There are some good ball players on these twilight teams. Ad Swlgler
Is one of Ucrmantown's pitchers, and Danny McNieliol plays second, when ho
shows up. Hill Fish, the old Phil catcher, is doing the receiving, and Mule
'Watson pitches occasionally. All of the teams play good baseball, and the
cores always are close.
fOXIGHT Germantown plays yativity at llelgrade and Ontario
streets, and on 'Wednesday the Autocar club, of the Main Ane
League, will oppose Dare llcnnii's crew. Four or five games a ueek
are played and the people of the neighborhood always announce a
pleasant time teat had,

"- tblrteen-inning battle with Pittsburgh. Irish Meusel gummed up the
proceedings and annojed Cooper when he busted a home run in thenintb
with one on, thus tying the score. Captain Davy Bancroft, who was shaving
in the clubhouse, the same as Cravath did in a game against St. Louis early
ia the season, was forced to play the last four Innings with lather on his face.

Deeply Dreaded and Feared
IN TUB SPOUTLIGHT BY GUANTLAND RICE
Copyright. 1010. All rlghta reaervei!.
"Y"OU may have observed n moment's lull in tho wild rush to shower Jack
J- Dempscy with challenges since he removed the crown from Mr. Willard'a
head, taking most of the head with It.
The nnswer is fairly simple. Those, who have followed Dcmpsey's career
closely not only don't believe that any living heavyweight could beat him but
In addition they don't believe that any nforcsald heavyweight could last three
rounds.
jJJvT) mo of the heavyiccighte carry the tame depressing hunch
when they think it over.
The Hardest Hitter
IT IS extremely doubtful as to whether boxers such as Carpcntlcr or Beckett
could last beyond the second round,
It may be that Fitzsimmons could hit as hard as Dempscy, but no man
thnt ever lived carried a punch as deeply dreaded by his opponents as the
uncanny wallop set adrift by the present champ.
No wonder rival heavyweights are taking their time to think things over.
They recall what happened to Morris, Fulton, Lcvinsky and Willard, among
a few others. , -
Dcmpsey's punch has been outlined before, but the last word hasn't been
written yet.
JTOT? undoubtedly it is one of the amazing incidents of sport one of
those rare turns that suddenly pop out to overshadow all com
petition, A Few Effects ,
TO A FEW select and intimate friends Fred Fulton admitted tliaC he
thought some one had hit him with a crowbar.
He still doesn't believe that any human paw brought on that sudden
darkness.
Some tlmo ago we asked Battling Levinsky what hand Dempscy used
for his knockout when the Battler skidtjed into Poppy Land.
"I don't know," he said. "I was sparring with him at the time, looking
for a lend. That's all I know. When I came to they were helping me out ol
the ring. He must have hit me with a hammer. I'm supposed to be pretty
fast, but he hit me so fast that I didn't even sec tho punch start."
Dempsey is credited with knocking Willflrd out In three rounds. The
fact is that he lind Willard out In less than fifty seconds nf ter the fight began.
Fifty seconds after the fight opened found Willard out of his head, too badly
dazed to know what it was all about.
That fight should have been stopped after the seventh knockdown, when
Willard was as (helpless as a stuffed dummy, hung up to be hit.
Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries any one you care to mention carried
no such kick as this.
rnnRE is something uncanny about it'. For a man weighing 187
pounds to drop Such hunks of human flesh as Morris, Fulton and
Willard all weighing over 230 tcifft one punch is the last word in
the Chapter on irallop.
The Next One?
THE report was spread broadcast that with Dempsey in charge of the
championship toga there would be, about two heavyweight championships
a week.
The expert opinion was that any number would be willing to take on
the smaller man.
Not when the smaller man carries in his right or left hand enough dynamite
to blow up a battleship.

likely Uf have the top-of your head knocked off, Xou know if he hits you
once Uie light is over.
i
tfJOEETANG that wan about it, there is no use stepping in unlets
iiou ran hit him hard enough to knock him out, for if you step
in and don't knock him out, you'll never know what happened until
they carry you out of the ring.
TAKING these facts into consideration, it begins to appear as if Mr.
Dempsey is going to have no easy job luring some unsuspecting opponent
into the same ring. It mny he thnt Messrs. Heckctt and Carpentlcr are too
far removed to know just how things arc. But somo kind friend could do
both finite a favor by tipping them off before it is too late.
yOU don't notice any of the American heavies clamoring madly for
the loser's end, do yout
