U PHILS SKID OVER SALIVA SLANTS
'SERVED BY MITCHELL'S SOUTH PA W
AND DROP BALL GAME TO ROBINS

H HOHKIIT W,
r A BAIili rlub rcprcacntinR Philadelphia lint! to Io.o n
,. chnmpiomthip content joatcrrfaj, nnd n tlic A's iliil
lot play, the bilfk win passed to the 1'hiN. Tlir Orn
.ratlilatiN accepted the honor gracefully, mingled with tlie
"Drbokln Dodgers and pln.vcd a full nine-inning giimr.
Now wlicn a b:ittb lasts a long as that on the homo lot,
fno times out of ton the. local nre walloped and other
io knocked for a gool. Such was the case yesterday,
he Phils lost and our city hatted .000 in major league
baseball.
Hut y hliould worry over yesterday's defeat. The
homo talent made a heroic eftort to gnili on a victory.
but the nlicns were too strouc. Aided by Clarence
Mitchell, it left-handed saliva slinger. the Phili were
turned back InniiiR after inuitiR. only one person being
allowed to spike the plate. Mitchell is it sort of a unique
pitcher. True, ho pitches with his left paw, hut its
noro than that, lie uses the spitter with reckless aban
don, and is the only port-sider in major league who uses
(that style of delivery. Against n curiosity like that,
JGavvy's Rents could not help but lose.
At the same time, the hoys did not look sad in defeat.
fThey always were dangerous, and even in the ninth there
eonied to be a chance to pull the gnuie out of the lire.
back Miller and Paillette soaked a pair of singles and were
waiting anxiously to be sent home, but Itulph Miller hit
pnto a double play and they were sent to the clubhouse
(to wash up.
! Cecil Algernon Causey, whose hair and neck are a vivid
ftii, debutted before the Rung as a mouiidsman. (.Veil
Algernon did some Rood work and showed he was a good
pitcher. In the sceoud, third and eighth innings he al
lowed what should have been perfect strikes to bounce off
the bats of the Urooklynitcs for safe singles, but outside
'6f that he was all right. He was taken out after thf
eighth inning, not because he was on the blink, but to
llow Cruvath to hit for him. Hixey finished the coutot.
".4ITr inserted himself at the wrong time. r
vl tra'( lore or anything like that, j he refuted
to knock a home ran. Instead, he rolled a grounder
to OUcn and It'll natlcd him at fir.it.
Cy Williams Startles the Fans
rc
i
THERE always is something strange and unusual at n
ball game. Something always happens which causes
Wild excitement among the fans nnd furnishes materinl
for a lot of lengthy arguments. It is one of the happy
features of the game and makes it worth while.
6 The peculiar stuff was inserted in the sixth inning,
when, for the first time in many years, Cy Williams
stepped up. took u mighty swing and socked a hit into
left field. This is not bunk. We saw it with our own
yes.
If you watch carefully you will notice a shifting of the
entire alien cast every time Cy swings his bat at the plate.
The right fielder stands on the foul line nnd converses
vrilh the center fielder, who is clov enough to wear the
fcame cap. The second und first basemen discuss the
favorite in the next race and the others ure completely
out of the picture. They can reud the paper or play
pinochle, for they are entirely unnecessary.
After the scenery has been Miiftcd Cy takes his swing.
knocks the ball in the direction of right field, hoping it
toes over the fence. If not. it's a putout. That's the
dope on Williams. He hits 'em into the sunficld ninety -
MAX WIS hi. , ,
nine times out of a hundred Therefore the left field
wback was not at all clubby and entirely unlocked for
Cy. by the way. has changed his style of hatting this
year." He uses n different position at the plate, uses a
different bat and perhaps that accounts for the miex
peeled hit. There must he" some explanation, and this
is ns good ns any. Yesterday he got two safeties. The
other on" was right in the right Held groove, hut he sent
it on a line with the speed of a bullet. The ball went
through Neis's hands and crowned him. The young right
fielder w-as beaned, but recovered the pellet in time to hold
Cy on first.
SOME day Cy expects to knock a homer into the
left field standi. That probably tcilt happen the
same day that William Jennings Bryan comes out
iu favor of light wines and beer without the decimal
points.
Witherow Acts Like Real Catcher
IjMlANK WITHEROW, n oung catcher, also was in
troduced to the fans jesterday. Frank joined the club
in ltlrniinghain and did some excellent spring (raining.
He was boosted highly by several scouts, and Johnny
Castle said he was the best catcher they had in Hockford,
III., last year. Johnny managed thill team and should
know, hooking over the records, it was learned that
Witherow was the ilrst. second and third string catcher
for Hockford. That club played 1'Ji! games und Witherow
caught 122 games. Therefore he unanimously Is elected.
He was the best catcher Castle had last year.
However and be that as it may, the boy made a good
impression yesterday. He caught n brilliant Rame, showed
he could think, showed n throwing arm which kept the
Hrooklyn players close to the bases and presented base
thefts and knocked a long double which bounded off the
spot on the center field wall where the ly clings during
the opeu season for clinging Ivy. He also is fast, makes
many throws to first and, judging from yesterday's per
formance, will make a valuable ninn for the club.
Young Ilulph Miller did some good work at third base
and is looking better every day. In the llrst Innitig he
threw out the entire side, fielding three grounders per
fectly. Cravath believes Ralph will develop into it star
third-sucker, and at the present writing it looks us if
tiavvy was right.
GEORGE COLUMBIA SMITH is the pitcher for
today's game. O. Columbia trimmed the Dodgcn
one day last lecek, and teaiits (o sec if lightning
ever strikes in the same place ticicc.
The Umpire Wins Another Argument
THERE was an urgument in the seventh inning and u
cluster of Phils surrounded Pete Harrison to give vent
to silent wrath. Paulctte was ou first and started for
second after Ralph Miller hit a grounder to Olson. When
Kilduff caught thp ball Paulette slid into him and the
relay reached first base too late to complete n double pluy.
From the stand it looked as if the Phils were arguing to
save Miller from being called out for interference. Rut
it was not that.
Although Paulette ran into Kilduff, it developed that
the Philly players insisted he did not have his foot'on the
hag and (5ene was safe. Harrison, however, thought
otherwise, and Harrison won.

-- as Pasqunle Appalucci before he
timlertook the profession of fisticuffs,
is anxious for another crar,k at Jimmy
Wilde before the little Welshman re
turns to Kngland. Whether he will be
considered for an encore with the fly
weight championship will be determined
tonight when Patsy takes on Joey
Ilurman. of Chicago, at the National
Club. Wallace will be given a strenu
ous test in his encounter this evening.
In taking on Iturmnn, Patsy will closh
with one of the leading bantams in the
country. Wallace will have a little the
worst of it in the matter of weight,
the poundage governing the contest bc
iug 11(1 pounds, ringside. Patsy prob
ably will weigh in no mote than 112
pounds. Semifinaling to the Wallace
ilurman bout will be Willie Kohler, of
New York, and Terry McIIugh. of
Allentown. Kohler made a great im
pression here several weeks ago. and
he has been mentioned as a probable
opponent for Johnny Kilbane. Three

j Three Katfors
TIIKIil!! nro times when a thing Is so
obvious you overlook it. A few days
ago ho cr.mmcntcd upon tlio fact that
the vital Mr tor in Retting distance wns
the speed of the club head, bat or rack
et. The weight of tlio Implement is,
of course, -mother factor. A, heavy but
or a heavy club head traveling nt the
nunc into of speed will 'ive n ball
further than it lighter weapon, (tut the
average performer, of course. Is able to
get more speed from n lighter weight.
"There are three factors in obtaining
distance." writes W. II. H. "One is
the speed of the club head; the second is
weight of tlio club head, and the third
is the length of the club. It is the
worKing ot tne tnrce which creates :n
force that In turn imparts energy to the
linll. Tiie definition of force is masfl
times acceleration. You may recall how
you varied the i-itngt1 in artillery tire.
The same thing npplies to the ball. To
get good distance you must nhoot ut
the correct angle, not too low nor yet
too high. Oruvlty mnkes quick nork
of n low brill. So there nro n number
of things thnt count for distance. "
The Anglo Kaclor
BOU MrDONATD is probably the
longest hitter In American golf. Yet
he uses n fairly light and fairly short
club.
But McDonald not only hns the ninxi
inum speed ut work ns the dub head
reaches the bull, but ho has the correct
trajectory for distance. You will no
tice that the vast majority of his tec
shots travel ut an angle around forty
five degrees ns the.vspiu out against the
skyline.
Haiie Ruth's mightiest vnllops arc
nt this same trajectory.
The Ten -Year Wallop
WHO Is the hardest hitter in baseball
oer u ten -year stretch? The odds
are that off-hnnd you'd never guess it.
The compilation wns recently made
in The Itusebull Magazine, showing
that this honor belonged to Sherwood
Nottingham Mngce. who only recently
drew his release. And number two on
the ten -year list was Tjiidcriis. of the
Phillies, with Larry Doyle third und
Helnic the Zim fourth.
Magee's extra base average was .324.
Uabe Kuth has only had a five-year
shot at the mark and in but two of
these was he nn everyday regular. Yet
in those five years the llabe's extra base
average is .471, 150 points above
Magee's.
It might also interest you to know
that among the sluggers Ty Cobh rant.
at twenty-eighth, it is the Iowl? sl
ml the humble douWo upon h filch Tv
builds the bulk ot his yearly ilvcrnre.
that outclasses the Held, nlthough un tl
the last year or so tne more flashy trlnlo
has been one of his staudbys. But Cnni.
was never mticfli ot the homo t
stuff. In this field he hns many .
periors. u
Stamina The Last Word
T710U over three hours Joe Slccher Ui
x been givlug battle back nnd forth In
the hardest match of his career.
In the few concluding minutes he Imd
been subjected to Strnngler Lewis's
headlock' on four successive occasions
each one being a crushing, puuishini
t?rip.
After the fourth hold of this tyna
Stecchcr was naturally groggy.
Yet ho hnd enough strength left with
which to lift the 22.-.-pound Lewis off
tlio floor, toss him in mld-nlr and
thereby conclude the joust.
If this isn't the Inst word In stamina
we'd be much obliged to get it. '
i
The Kids and Uascbatl
"TyiLVT provision have the mugnalcg
V made for youug boys to see base
bull?" writes n -veteran fan. "None
ut nil. I like to take my eleven-year-old
grandson to a game, but eighty. fiTe
cents for nn clcvcn-ycnr-olil boy is a
little more than I can afford. Yet these
young boys are the ones who in future
must support the gnmc."
This is a big point. There arc
thousands of fans today because as
boys they could afford the tHentv-flvc-cent
admisslou. They dcvelopcd'a Iotc
for the game. Kew of the younccr
generation can afford prices charged to
day, which means that the nntural In
terest of thousands of would-be fans is
being destroyed. This doesn't show
now. lint it will show in the gqte re
ceipts ten nnd fifteen yenrs from now.
Some' provision should be made to
hntidlc the youngsters nt greatlv re
duced rates. This provision could be
curtailed or shut-off on Sundays ami
holidays. Hut through the summer there
nre any number of days when the ad
dition of n, thousand or so youngstern
would still leave sufficient space. Or
why not have a Kids' Day at lcat
twice a week? Kids' Day. where the ad
mission price to oil ,bclow fifteen or
sixteen is fixed at a reasonable scale'
