Phils Introduce Winning, System for Change SPEAKINO of sjstems and things like that, the Phils discovered the m to win hall games yesterday. Instead of getting off to a small lead null, to lose It ip the later innings, the stepped out and walloped the ball all over the lot for a total of fourteen tallies. jThe score probablj was in houor of Meusel's hitting streak of fourteen, but whatever it was, it was greatl.v nppieciatcd by the faithful fans. The proud ami haughty (Slants hit the dust like tailenders, and droppd one-half game back in the pennant Derbj. ff Winters started to Hlng and he was exceeding! soft. Two runs enme in the first, but the New Yorkers tied that count iu the second. Then thcbrave band, led b Cap'n Hancroft, annexed four more pairs and eased in a six -run inning just to make it uuanimous. While they were accomplishing this, Genu Paulette got a couple of hits, and Hradle Hogg was pitching his head off. It was the best game the silver-thatched barrister has flung this season. He had ever thing on the ball, and Jack Adams said he had more stuff than any other pitcher in the league. This is good news, for another winning pitcher is needed b Sir. Cravath. Hogg alwas is late in gcttiug into shape. .He failed to sign the papers in time to take the spring training trip, and as a result, worked under a handicap after joining the dub. He had man reverses, but stuck to the job unci finally worked himself into shape. This is the best time it the jear for Brad and he should go good from now ou. In addition to his pegging. Hogg soaked out a few hits just toMnakc it Interesting. Once he went from second to third ou a two-base hit, but that's n pitcher's prerogative or whatever it is. Cy Williams also had a good day with the stick, as did Callahan, I.udv, Blackburne, Paulette, Adams and a couple of others. w See That HAtsD .Shoot out with GLASS o waTgq im it ?

We are "lire of one tailenOer, and unless the Thils take a brace and learn how to win a few conliiets, there will be two trailers in our midst. Hut there are other sports beside baseball, and Pliilndclphiaus are more than making good. Woody Piatt reached the semifinals in the national golf ouruey and brought back with him the first medal ever von by one of our citizens. Tewkesbury, of Aroniminlc, copped the medal for low score, which meant additional fame for'the local golftrs. Ciarey and tienrge Hoffner also made great showings on the well-regulated, quiet Oukmont course. tn the women's national championships to b- held at Shnvvuee the latter part of next month and the first ot October, Philadelphia is likely to furnish the winner. Sirs. Clarence II. Vunderbeck, Mrs. Itouald II. Barlow, Mrs. f!. Henry Stetson and Miss Mildred Caverly are excellent golfeis and any one of the four is likely to annex the title. Thus Philadelphia again will have n cha'nee to occupy a portion ot the spotlight. In tennis, we have our Will Tilden, one of the greatest pla.vers in the jountry. At present he is busy eliminating all ccuurs in the national cham pionships at Forest Hills and is considered one of the favorites for the title. It. MJrris Williams, who once lived here and really is a Philadelphian, also is stepping some in the courts. In a short time football will make its bow and the University of Pennsyl vania eleven will not be discovered iu the rear. Hob Fohvrll unci his able, hard-working, energetic captaiu, Bert Bell, will have a swell gang of gridiron performers to turn loose against the opposing colleges and once more Philadel phia will be out in front. rFUEKEF0IfE, the icell-knoicn City of Brotherly Love should be J annoyed about the showing of a pair of ball clubs. ll have fur r nished high-class golf and tennis experts and the .prospects for a I successful football season are unusually bright. Short Baseball Season Is Doomed TTIXPKIIIENCB this year spells the doom of the short season in the major -' leagues. Magnates iu both circuits are kicking themselves, so to speak, over falling for the 140-gamc idea. In face of its lack of merits over the old 151-game schedule the club owners have adopted the "never again" motto. President Heydler, of the National League, believes that the first decision matie when next t-eason's schedules are arranged will be to bring back the old long season. rt.Loss of fourteen games has not only meant much In dollars and cents to the club owners, but it may be n factor in cutting some of them out of the fat Hce of world's series coin, Cleveland and Detroit both figure that the short season cut them out of a swell chance for the American League pennaut.. They both figure that fourteen wore games would give them just the chance wanted to cut down 'the margin . it the leading White Sox. fllE s'ubject may be considered Tuesday when the National Com- mission meets in Chicago, "ftTJTAS baseball Interest Increased?

It also brings up the argument as to which might be classified as the greatest doubles team that ever plifyed. v The United States might? offer such men as Wnrd and Wright, Hackett and Alexander, McLoughlin and Bundy or Tilden and Richards. But none of these names quite comes up to the top. There are two sets that have any of these stopped. One was It. F. and H. L. Doherty. The other was Brookes and -Wilding. The two Dohertys won the Knglish doubles championship in eight out of nine years between 1S07 nnd 1003. But it is a question as to whether they were" any stronger than the star Australian combination of BrOokps and Wilding. The latter pair were beaten in 1007 and 100S by Bchr and Wright and by Gore and Barrett. But afterward they were invincible. nilOOKES was almost equally successful with Dunlop, proving that IJ the Australian veteran, in addition to his play at singles, is prob- only the Greatest entry for doubles that ever helped to form a winning combination. i The Date Fixed fT)UNCH" desires to know on what date the German peace celebration will T be held.
