TIIEI RE till talMnft nbout that iloiible-homier lictneii the 11iil and
Cincinnati Inst Saturday. The ninth-inning batting rally, which netted
ijbt runs and the ball Ran"1- I'm been liriiRnl pro mid rnn and many nro
wondering how it happened. To capture a hall came from a pitcher like
Meadows in the ninth inning after his team had obtained n lead of three
Tuns Is enouRh to make any one sit up and take notice, but the answer is
simple. The Heda started to hit the ball and It would have taken n couple
at fire departments to put them out. l.ee Meadows took an aerial journey,
broke all altitude records, his plaj mates went with him and the Heds
couldn't help but vtin.
.Hut it was one play that did it. Kemember. in the ninth, firoh opened
with n double and scored on Kddle Iloush's two-baser. (Jrcasy Xeal" walked,
and that brought up Kopf. ltunners were on first and second, nobody cut.
and Cincinnati two runs behind. According to Hoyle, it was up to Kopf
to try to knock the ball out of the lot. The Phils thought he would do that
Tcry thing, but he crossed them.

runners had come in with the tying counter and Kopf was on third.
After that the delug". Eerjbody hit the hall ar-1 runs lame in so
fast that even Jimmy the Klk couldn't count them. Meadows went higher
than that runaway blimp at Toledo and it is doubtful if he has reached
terra firma yet. Heinle Groli batted twice in that stanza, getting n single
and a double, and Uoush registered two doubles. It was terrible from n
Philadelphia viewpoint, because the Crnvathians are fighting the Heds tooth
and nail and Meadows was saved up all week to be used against them in
the first game.

Twelve Out of Fifteen. Reds' Road Record
fiflHE Itcds arc not having an easy time of it these days. They aie on
" one of the hardest road trips ever taken by a ball club up in the pennant
race, and it is their neive. spirit and aggressiveness, coupled with that fight
which will not admit defeat that are pulling vthem through. The other clubs
are not lying down to them. Instead, they arc battling them to n finish,
and despite that Moron's men have won twelve out of fifteen games on this
last road trip. You can't beat that record.
Starting with three double-headers in a row in New Tork, they cap
tured four games out of six in three days. Then they lost one to Itrooklyn
and embanked on a winning streak which now totnls seven straight games.
And those games were not easy by nny means, lieginning last Wcdnesdny,
they have won out in the late -innings after" the other side had taken the
lead. On Wednesday they wenti-into the ninth inning in Ilostou with the
score 0 to 5 against them, scored'tw-o runs nnd won, 7 to 0. On Thurs
day Boston was leading 0 to V. going into the eighth. Cincinnati made two
in. their half and two more in the ninth, winning ngnin, 7 to 0.
On Friday the score was I to 4 the start of the eighth, and they won
again, 7 to 4. Therefore, that batting rally on Saturday was old stuff to
the visitors. They are used to pulling games out of the fire nnd show that
they arc game to the core. Tou can't beat a ball club Jike that.
On the first eastern trip it will be remembered that the Heds played
Brooklyn one day and for twelve innings neither side scored. In the thir
teenth they fell upon the shoots and twisters of Al Maumaux, hammered out
ten runs and won the ball game. Pat Moron, has those guys loaded to the
brim with confidence, and every time we see them perform we recall Mike
Murphy's famous saying: "l'ou can't beat a team thnt won't be beaten.'
That's Cincinnati all over.
'VHE Reds are a cinch let to tcin the pennant now. If they split
even in the remaining games Xeio York must win almost all of its
battles to give them a run. Pat Moran is about to present Cin
cinnati tcith its first pennant in history.
Chance to Break Season's Winning Record
fTODAY will be an eventful day at the ballyard. A new National League
" record either will be broken or tied and it all depends upon the result of
tbe first ball game. No club in the senior circuit has won more than seven
games in a row. Early in the season the Heds won that number, but were
topped by St. Louis. Then the Giants went on a tenr and the Heds put
them on the blink in the eighth game. St. Louis took a fling at it nnd
(ttipped in Boston. Pittsburgh also was stopped by the Braves, and Cin
cinnati en its second sprint fell by the wayside up in Beantown. The
Ttraves have been the swellest stoppers of winning streaks this year, but
frill have no chance to do anything this time.
Moran has Hod Eller and Dutch Reuther to use against the Phils in
tl:e double-header this afternoon, and the chances are good to set a new
- mark in the league for consecutive victories for 1010. And if they do that
there's no telling- when they will stop.
Another record also will be smashed, but that happens every day now.
Fred Luderus, the iron man of baseball, played in his dflOth consecutive ball
mime Saturday, and after he appears in the first battle this afternoon It will
be an even 500. No man ever has done this in the history of baseball, and
If Fred continues to play his game he will hang up a mark which never
"Will be equalled.
Ludy still is a good ball player ; in fact, is the peer of any other first
baseman in the league,, with the possible exception of Jake Daubert. He is
dangerous hitter and plays a wonderful fielding game. As has been said
before, Ludy is the most underestimated player in the big leagues. He makes
erery play look the same, never plays to the grandstand and as a result
seldom pulls any sensational stuff. However, he is out there every day
working his head off, giving his team the best he has, and what else can
a man do?
A PLATER like Luderus is a credit to any ball club. Always de-
pendable, never sulky, he acts as a balance wheel in the infield
and keeps the other players on the jump. He deserves all of the glory
he can get on this iron-man achievement.
Aged Bats Help Bring, Roush Luck
DID you ever take notice of the baseball bats used by the noted sluggers
in the majors? Perhaps not ; because the sluggers themselves take too
smell of the limelight. But baseball bats are the same to those guys as tha
jaost delicate and expensive tools to a watchmaker. They guard them care
: 'fully and wear a grouch if one happens to get broken.
The next time Eddie Itousli steps up notice tbe bat ha Is carrying.
It looks lika any other piece of wood from a distance, but it Is one of th
historic sticks of baseball. That bnt, and another just like it, are twenty -two
years old. They once belonged to Richard Gorman, who lives hm.
Boston, and Gorman presented them, to Pat Moran laat week. ""Vat turned
them over to Rousb. They feel juBt right for bim and the wood is the best
lie ever has .seen.
Gorman was the first manager Pat Moran ever had. He managed the
Lyons, N. Y., club way back in 1607, wnen Moran broke in as an aspiring
ball tossfr. Gorman was present in the Boston series and gave up bis pet
bats to bring Moran good luck.
,:: t 11TJIILE Moran is having luck, Roush it banging out hits and it's a
f great winning combination. '
'JjftW'SAX'S' the matter with the Phils? That's easy. They hare no pitchers.

Soldier Hartfield wields n damaging
mitt. lie is the self-acclaimed world's
greatest puncher.
The soldier only this morning ad
mitted that he would fight any one
from Dcmpsey down. He has so much
confidence in that wallop of his that
he even once climbed into tho ring In
Madison Square Garden to box Dcmp
sey. Th'ls wns last winter when Demp
sry refused to box Joe Jeannettc at a
benefit show. Both Britton and Bart
field volunteered their services.
All Burtfield seems to know is fight.
He is not clever enough to do nny
"stalling" nnd his only chance to get
by is to fight nil the way,
Hartfield arrived here last Saturday
to complete training for a meeting with
Benny Leonard nt the Phillies Park
on week from Wednesday night.
Met Leonard Before
When nsked if he was out there" to
do Leonard any harm, he replied
thusly :
"I have no love for Leonmrd. 1 met
him in n benefit bout nt Kbbcts Field
last fall: He was rcfercehig one of my
fights nnd he told tne to go ahead nnd
do some fighting. Then I invited him
to put the gloves on if he thought he
could help the cause.
"We went two rounds before they
stopped us. LeonardSvas always com
plaining to the referee about my back
hand punch, saying I wns using the
elbow. Let me say right here that I
gavq Benny so much trouble that his
seconds cut the rounds short to two
minutes. He is one guy I can lace.
Dropped O'Dovtd
"Do you know that I've dropped
every man I've ever fought? Why I
once had Mike O'Dowd knocked out
when some guy put the lights out in the
place.
"I gave Jack Britton au nwful beat
ing after he dropped me thnt time nt
Shibe Park. It was in Buffalo last
winter and I guess Jack won't forget
it. Guess Jack wou't give me a fight
for somo time.
"Why, Mike Gibbons is another guy
that knows I can lilt. I cracEfcd a
couple of his ribs in Brooklyn two
years ago nnd he still carries a scar
on his nose whjch I gave him in a
fight last year.
To Malt4 140 Pounds
"I'm going to make 140 pounds for
Leonard. I'm not a big guy. And let'
mo tell you right here that I'll bet I
won't have more than four pounds on
Leonard nt that: This Leonard's one
big boy."
Bartficld lingered In Newark long
enough to see the Britton-O'Dowd
fight. He had fought both of the prin
cipals nnd wns a pretty fair judge.
"AVcll, I liked Britton in that fight,"
said the scarred soldier. "It was a
tough one nil the way, but whatever
edge there was belonged to Britton. He
outboxed and outgeneraled O'Dowd."

(Corvttaht, lSli. All lltohls Reserved.)
SOME one might write an interesting history some day entitled "The Com
petitive Soul." Certain entries bnve it by instinct or by heritage and a great
many others, through no fault of their own, haven't. There Is tho case of
Francis Ouimet. This golf star has the competitive soul to n final degree,
unsurpassed by no one in the game, whether it be golf or something else.
Ouimet is able to rise to loftier heights under pressure than nny man we
have ever seen.
As a twenty-year-old kid, when tossed in against Vnrdon nnd Ray, he
met this competition not with any nervous flurrv. but with a vast keenness for

knew that he was in the throes of n vital competition, whereupon he turned and
played one of the grandest games of his life.
There was never a moment when ho faltered or weakened or began to slip.
OUIMET met the issue joyfully, because it icos the last word in
competitive golf and, thcrfore, he teas at his best. '
Against Chick
THE same thing held In his recent match against Chick Evans. Ouimet's ,
physical condition was such that tho ordinary mortal would have never
even started.
But Ouimet had been looking forward to this match with Evans because
he knew it would make the best match he could meet. The mere fact that lis
happened to have a temperature of 102 and had been able to keep nothing in the
way of food on his stomach was a minor detail. He was ncttially drugged
to strength by tho keen desire o contest against n golfer who had won an.'
amateur nnd nn open chnmpionship within one season.
In meeting Chick, Ouimet was nt his best as long as his physical stamina
held out and then he began to slip. After being three up ho played the
ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth,
holes bndly three holes in a row well below the form he had shown. This slip
permitted Evans to squaro the match nnd then, whore most men would hays
continued their downwnrd progress, Ouimet's competitive soul came back and
he finished the last two holes one under par by brilliant golf.

Dempsey and Willard
DEMPSEY had the competitive soul. Willard hadn't. The former was
nlways willing to take on a tough match, whereas Willard found no appeal
in a boxing competition.
When the two met it was Dempsey who had all the keenness nnd confidence
of combat. He wns at his best ngainst both Fulton nnd Willard, two of the
hardest men in his way to the hcightR. Sullivan and Fitzsimmons both had
it to n rare degree. Jeffries and Corbett lacked it.
V
O MAX ever had it more than Bat Xclson, icho alicays rtlishcA
rough and grueling match.
Handling Pitchers
"1.T7HEN the season opened how many open-eyed fans had ever considered
VV Ruethcr, Ring nnd Eller as the nucleus of n winning pitching staff?
Pat Moran has accomplished wonders before in developing and handling
young pitchers, but his work with the Reds tops nny nehievement he has ever
put through. He took a staff of youngsters, aided nnd abetted by two veterans
thnt hnd been enst aside Sallce, of the Giants, and Fisher, of the Yanks. He
has had these youngsters pitching fine ball all the year, has watched thenf
carefully and has turned each one' from a second-rater into a first-class work
man with the ability to go out and win.
PAT can discover any faults a young pitcher carries better than any
man in the game. And what is' considerably more to the point,
he can correct any weakness that may be attached to the right or left
arm in the way of form.
The Lgivn Tennis Title
GOLF had Its chapter last week nnd now with this championship over we
resume nt lawn tennis in the week ahead.
The golf competition was n keen one, but the tennis carnival should be
even keener, with such stars on band ns Lindley Murray, William M. Johnston,
Norris Williams, Tllden, Norman Brookes, Patterson nnd four pr five others
nble to impart additional class to the championship clash.
There will also bo a war note involved in this championship, more so than
any played to date in other lines.
Most of the topllncrs were in the service. Among the visitors entered, all
four Australians were under the Anzac flag in France or Belgium. It Is the
first time in three years that the entire array of stars have been able to meet
and fight it out. It should be by nil odds the best chnmpionship lawn tennis
has ever known this side of the purlins Atlantic.
"
PROBABLY no other tennis championship held on either side has
shown more class in the way of playing personnel.

IF you have a genuine regard for the
life of your engine, never ask .for a
gallon of "oil". As a certain cartoonist
says, "It doesn't mean anything."
Always ask for Atlantic Motor Oils
by name Atlantic Polarine, Atlantic
Light, Medium or Heavy. If you're
in doubt as to which is best for you,
ask the man that sells Atlantic.
