Who Purcliascd Rawlins?
P? WAS denied yesterday both from New York and Bos
ton that Rawlins bad been sold to the Giants. Secre
tary O'Brien, of the New York Club, came out with a
fetatement to the effect that it was a Fletcher for Ban
croft man-for-man trade, and George Washington Grant,
the Brave's owner, stated he had not authorized the sale
rf-nl his utility infielder
K Early thin afternoon, the verification of the Rawlins
"stale came in a dispatch from Boston. The disputcb further
iCOuipiiraiCK iuiuicrn, uurvcr, i).v Biaiiag utui iiawuns was
eiold to the Phillies and not to the Giants. If this is true,
it is significant. New York money may have purchased
Rawlins for Baker.
Fletcher and Rawlins probably will help the Phils
some, but it Is certain that Bancroft will bo of more value
to the Giants than the two ball players to Cravath. Ac
cording to the record books, Fletcher Is thirty-four, sit
years older than Bancroft. Nix years is n long time along
baseball's pathway. Thirty-four years is old for a bail
player, and Art Fletcher already has seen his heyday.
He may have several good campaigns left in his sturdy
frame, but Baucroft still is a young man and ntill is
tarrying around Die peaks without showing signs of losing
bis grip.
Back of Bancroft's restlessness is the question of
blame. Whose fault is it that Bancroft is not satisfied
Why doesn't be want to play In Philadelphia? Collins,
Plank, Bender, Mclnnis, Alexander, Killcfer, Barry and
the rest of the great galaxy of stars were contented with
our town nnd were sent elsewhere not because of nny
dissatisfaction with the city or its public. The fault ap
parently is in the Phlllle club itself.
PHILADELPHIA long has been the laughing
aioefc of both major leagues tcith tailend clubs
thai have been the targets for cheap humor. Tho
fans now are demanding better 6ac6all and de
serve it. Fletcher and Iiawlins mag help, but it
icf(l be a miracle if they can lift the Phili out of
last place. What Cravath needs far more than in
fcMfM or outfielders is pitchers, and he isn't get
ting Ihem.
Fletcher a Fighting Leader
FLETCHER has been with the Giauts rince 1000 and
has held the regular shortstop rst Rlnee 11)11. While
not so brilliant ns a fielder he classes wltl. the overage,
nnd at bat is a trifle above the average. During his nine
seasons he has hit close to .2S0. Last season he hit .277.
One thing that has characterized Fletcher's play has
been iight. He fits in with .lawn MrGrnw'a idea of n
player who puts color Into baseball. Fletcher goes nround
the diamond with a lumber yard on euch shoulder and
any one whp knocks ns much as a toothpick off gets an
argument. Fletcher is u real leader, nu nggressive,
hurd-flghtlng ball player nnd one who should put con
siderable pep Into the Pblla' infield. Certainly it needs It.
v
FLETCHER'S best year tcith the bat teas in
JOll, ichcn he tchaled the ball at a .310 gait.
Only Rixey Remains
FIVE years ago Pat Moran turned a gang of so-called
misfits into a National League chauiplnm-hip club. To
give evidence of the many and frequent changes in the
Phillies in that half decade, Eppa Riiey alone of that
penuunt crew remains in action here. Fred- Ludcrua
and Gavvy Cravath also arc still on the payroll, but
Ludy is warming the bench and Gawy is bowing the
club and not playing.
In the winter of 1017 the break started, when Alex
ander and Killefer wero sold to the Cubs. In three years
that 1015 club has been dismantled, stripped of every
player with the exception of Rixey. Here is the list of
those who have gone: Manager Pat Moran: pitchers
Alexander. Chalmers, Mayer, Ocschger and Tincup;
catchers Killefer, Burns aud Adams ; infielders Niehoff ,
Bancroft. Stock nnd Dugcy; outfielders Paskert, Coop
er, Whittcd and Wciser.
OF THOSE icio have left the club, soven still are
in the major leagues. Others have drifted to the
sticks and some have come to the end of the trail in
their baseball career.
BANCROFT played his first gome in a Giant uniform
yesterday. The New York play was improved, but
Brooklyn won the tilt, nevertheless. Davy didn't get a hit
in five times up, but he handled seven chances in his
usual faultless style.

By SPICK HAIX
Wilmington Countn Club, Wilmington,
Del., June 8.
AFTER looking over the field, the
courts nnd the scoreboards, the
most noticeable feature of the women's
lnwn tennis tournament for the Dela
ware championships is the fact that
if all the players run true to form, the
four best players will meet in the late
rounds and n logical consequence the
two best in the finals. There will be
no clashes between the outstanding stars
in the early rounds sucn as those un
fortunate events nt the Merlon Cricket
Club last week. The tournament win
ner meets Miss Ann B. Townseud,
Merion in the challenge round.
The draw in the singles is perfect.
If nil of the entrants play their usual
games. Miss Marion II. Zinder.stciu,
ihi I.nnirwnod Mitr and natioual doubles
champion, should meet Mrs. (illherti
A. Harvey. Philadelphia Country Cluh.
and semifinalist in the national singles
lust year, in the upper bracket of the
semifinals. Tn the lower bracket Miss
Florence Ballin. the crack metropoli
an nlover. member of the Westside
Tennis Club, Forest Hills, should meet
Miss Phyllis Walsh, scmifinalibt In tho
recent tournament nt inc .ticrion
Cricket Club.
There are several other excellent
plavers In the tournament likely to
spiil the dope at a moment's notice.
Notable among these is Mhs Leslie
Bancroft, the brilliant, but erratic left
hander of the Longwood club. Miss
Bancroft did not gn far In the Penn
sylvania and Eastern States meeting,
but if she meets any of the favorites
on one of her "on days, this same
favorite is going to have a real battle.
The doubles drawings were scheduled
for noon today. The splendid victory
of Mrs. Harvey nnd Mrs. M. B. Huff
over Miss Molly D. Thayer nnd Miss
Ann B. Tcwnscnd in the Pennsylvania
doubles nt the Merion Cricket Club jes
terday has rniscd their stock to high
level 'for ultimate winners here, Mrs.
Huff and Mrs. Haricy decided last week
to team up for the Dolawaic doubles,
and their play yesterday indicates that
thev will be either there or in the im
mediate vicinity when the. finals arc
played the latter part of the week.

"The 150-pound eight will be the

in defeating the varsity in the trials
I expect to hold every afternoon between
the two crews'." said Joe Wright, coach
of the Pcnn crews last night. Wright
meant every word he said, hnitig special
emphasis on the fact that he had not
decided as yet just which of the two
crews will row as the varsity.
Wright recently disbanded the junior
varsity eight which had been going bad
all season nnd made the ir0-pound
crew the junior varsity. This so en
thused the lightweights thnt they set
out for new worlds to conquer and they
are confident that they nre going to

An Sung In Boston
How dear to this heart ore the scenes of
last summer
When fond recollections ccme back in
a row;
When every one whispered: "This Ruth
is a comer,
He's trrtainly there when it comes to
a blow."
The widesprcading bat and the crash it
delivered,
The housetops outside where his teal-
lops all fell;
The swing and the Dlooie that so rarely
flivvercd,
And eke the old blundgeon that gave-
'cmallhcll.
The. old oaken bludgeon,
The iron-bound bludgeon
The fence-clearing bludgeon
That gave'emallhell.
A Stirring Ordeal
PROF. WILBEItT KOBINSON nnd
his amazing Dodgers, who now re
main the sole eastern representatives in
the National League so far aa pennant
gestures are concerned, face what is
frequently known ns a stirring ordeal
through the next two weeks
Opening the home stay with St. Louis
(slang for Cardinals), they stand face
to face with the Beds, Cubtt nnd Pirates
in succession, through a twelve-game
spau.
These twelve carries will be highly
important enterprises so far ns Brook
lyn's) ting hopes arc concerned, it is no
soft affair to take on three lusty chal
lengers in succession, but Robby hopes
to follow the same system which he
found to bo so successful in 1010 i. c.,
to score more runs each day than your
opponent does.
There will be a world of fancy pitch
ing tossed about shortly when Bucthcr,
Ellcr. Ring, Sallee. Alexander, Tyler,
Vnughan, Adams, Cooper, etc., become
Involved in daily nltcrcatlon with
Cadorc, Smith. Grimes, Marquard,
Pfeffcr and Mamaux. Bobby has enough
good pitching to match arm for arm,
whether It be right or left.
Tho West predominates in tnc in
tlonul League by n wide margin, but
tho wide-spreading form of Robinson
is no thin barricatic to pass.
In tho West
MANAGER SPEAKER, ot Cleve
land, now entertains the Iden that
he might as well blow himself to a good
lend while entrenched nt home for a
pnir of weeks'.
"Babe" Ruth has taken his big ar
tillery nlong for a blnstlng job through
the West, where so many of his base
hits left the ball park last summer. This
will be the West's first 1020 view of ti,.
Belaboring "Babe." and a great tlm.
should be had by nil. llme
The "Bubc" is equally at home Cast
pr West, so far ns the manufacture It

kecs, Red Sox nnd Senators nfter thl
western trip is over. Not much mora
pcrhnps, but enough to bring about
further discussion.
Cleveland's Chances v
mHE power of the Cleveland Club hi)
J- been recognized nil the year. The
only recognition required was a brief
glance at the standing of the clubs
The one uncertain spot was in the
pitching. There was always some doubt
as to whether Speaker's staff could
stand up throughout tho campaign. A
sufficient test will bo provided for the
time being these next two weeks when
the eastern nrtlllery, headed by "Babe"
Ruth, attempts to obtain the proper
range.
Tho Red Sox hnre never figured s
pennant winners lu tbo dope. The
Yanks have shown the power, but the
main test tho test of organized team
play conies after July 4. It is still a
case of Cleveland against the field.

as to whether or not Carpcntler can hit.
Having employed the same exhibits with
Jack Dcmnsey, the battler figures that
whatever happens can't be nny more
disconcerting. He ought to know.
ITH the lightweight limit fixed at

BY ADOPTING this system they can

".Tack Miller will be benched for n
while." snld Cravath. "His legs
nren't in the best shnpe, nnd a short
rest will do him a lot of good. I won't
say that Rawlins will get the job per
manently, but it will make both of
them hustle more."
Grovcr Alexander, pitching prince,
may get the assignment to hurl against
his former club. Alex hns won eleven
gnmes this year and lost only three.
He was beaten in his last start after
winning eleven in n row.
