? FIGHTING SPIRIT OF THE
MAKES CRAVATH'S TEAM POPULAR
WITH THE FANS OF PHILADELPHIA
WtIEK a capacity crowd, numbering close to 23,000,
jam its way Into the Phils' park to see the two toll.
nd clubs In the National League play n double-header,
that's a ure lsn baseball Is a very popular pastime this
year. Last Saturday's mob proved beyond question, that
the fans In Philadelphia, are very keen for the great na
tional sport and will support a ball club If It makes any
kind of n fight. , ,
The remarkable showing nf the Phils In the last three
eeks Is mainly responsible for the Intense Interest of the
populace. Cravath's men are playing peppery baseball,
'disputing every mT. made by the foe and do not take
the final count until after a hard battle. They never quit
and are likely to turn at any time and chance the com
plexion of the game.
Last week there was plenty of excitement on the home
lot. A near-riot wag staged on Thursday when Oreasy
Neale punched and then kicked n boy In the face. The
fans resented this as they should and waited n couple
Of hours for Greasy to appear. That athlete, however,
made his exit through the other side of the park and got
away unscathed. Ncnle was In the wrong when he jumped
on the boy and cut him with his spikes.
On Saturday the umpire, Pete Harrison, apparently
had an off day and made several bad guesses on balls and
trlkes. ThN naturally aroused the Ire of the home
players, who did not hesitate to tell Hnrrion what they
thought of his rulings. However, after speaking their
pieces they shut up nnd allowed Pete to finish without
ny more verbal barrages. For a time the fans were
. angry but later they, too, subsided and nothing happened.
Umpires are human nnd arc likely to make mistakes.
Some days they are bad and on others worse. Still, they
are doing the best they can and their mistakes are
honest ones.
STILL, it's pretty lough to sit in the standi nnd
see the home club get all of the rough breaks.
Xo wonder the audience shoved its displeasure by
hooting the umps nnd making him the gueit of honor
at a vacant pop-bottle shower.
Excitement Will Not Hurt Game
WE HOLD no brief for rowdy baseball. That should
be stamped out for good nnd nil and the mob spirit
, Bhould be curbed. Arguments with the umpire, however,
and a lot of noise In the bleachers are good things for
'nhas been said that Philadelphia baseball crowds are
rough and never see unythlng except from a local view
point. This is wrong. We have seen crowds at football,
baseball, basketball and boxing contests; and can say
without fear of contradiction that the Philadelphia crowds
are fairer and squarer than in any other city in the world.
They are thorough sportsmen and know the game.
They appreciate good work whether It Is done by a mem
ber of the home club or a visitor. Time and agnin a
visiting player has been cheered to the echo after making
a sensational play, and you don't find spirit like that in
many other towns. Everybody Is given a fair (show In
Philadelphia, and if he makes good the fans are first to
give him credit.
It is only natural for the crowd to voice its sentiments
as only a crowd can during a ball game. This is be
cause the spectators are taking such a keen interest in
. the contest that they also play the game in the grand
tand. The Phils are fighting hard and putting up such
good brand of baseball that everybody Is with them and
helps the cause along as much as possible.
' Good, hard, scrappy baseball Is popular. There has
been too much fraternizing a"inong opposing players in the
past and the game was beginning to lose one of its chief
attractions the spirit of comoctitton. The men acted as
if they had to put in a couple of hours on the ball field
K. ii to earn tnirauiries ana womeu just ue
JS& , men. It ty&$kt was all right and
.v?l It was all thW&hjfe-to them. This spirit
xans, interest JaKepiJpe attendance began to lau on ana
nobody cased wharlmppened.
Now, with scrappers lika Fletcher, Stengel, Rawins
and a few others, the Phils are proving they are out to

JUST one more word about Philadelphia fans.
They arc not hard tosers. Thei icill not start a
riot every time the home club gets walloped. If
they did they would be fighting all of tho time, for
it must be remembered that the Athletics play scv-enty-teven
home games here.
Cravath Tried to Save Phils
TI1AT first game on Saturday, which was won by the
Giants In the eleventh inning, was n heart-breaking
affair. The Phils won nnd lost it several times and suf
fered nil of the breaks. Ilppn Itixey's wild pitch, Lee
Mcadows's losing argument with the iimplro nnd Lcbor
Venn's terrible bnse-i-unnlng cnued the defeat.
One of the features of the battle was the nctlon of
Gavvy fravnth in the tenth when he took out -Casey
Stengel, one of the best hitters in the league, and went
in to bnt for him. This wa a monumentql pleco of nervy
work, but Guvvy has been doing this nil season. It will
be remembered he took out lllxey one day in New York
when Eppn had held the Giants to one hit in eight Innings,
batted for him, knocked n home run nnd won the game.
In Cincinnati, in the last ihing, with none out, he
deliberately ordered the pitcher to pass three men in
succession nnd then won the game on a double play nnd
nn infield fly.
On Saturday it was more of the same. Two were out,
Williams was on second with the tying run nnd Gavvy
went to the plate. Had he fllvvcred he would have been
a bum. However, he poked n double just out of reach of
Bancroft's fingers, Williams scored nnd the count was
nil even ngnln.
GAITV, however, made a mistake when hp in
serted Lrborveau to continue the trip around
the bases, licvo should hni'e scored nnd won the
game on Meusel's single, but he didn't. He ran
for and like Cravath.

Williams Has Slugging Party
LONG CT WILLIAMS was a whale nn the attack.
In the two games he was nt bnt ten times and made
seven hits, two of them being doubles and one n triple.
In the first game he wns responsible for five of the six
runs, driving in three nnd scoring two. In the second
battle he drove In one and scored one Seven hits and
seven runs In a day is not such n bad performance.
That three-bagger, however, wns something to be re
membered. Cy is not n left field hitter. When he goes
to the plate the left fielder moves toward center, the center
fielder wanders between first nnd second nnd tho right
fielder is on the foul line. Therefore George Burns was
not expecting that wnllop Into his territory and was lucky
to get the ball in time to hold it to a triple.
Williams seems to be improving with age and Is play
ing the best baseball of his career. The fans know this
and for the first time Cy is getting the credit he deserves.

WELL-FATTENED PURSES ADD
ZEST TO STATE OPEN GOLF
Large Delegation of Local Pros Hoped for in Event at Oakmont
Tomorrow in One-Day Affair Amateur
Following Promising
By SANDY
QJLIDINO away from the pressure of
business for a day is not very diffi
cult, particularly when there Is a mat
ter of some $500 up for distribution
elsewhere.
It is, therefore, hoped and expected
that a representative delegation of Phil
adelphia golf pros will make the trip to
Pittsburgh to compete for the open' golf
championship of Pennsylvania, which
will be played over thirty-six holes at
Oakmont.
This wns the setting for the amateur
championship last year, and the course
furnished considerable discussion after
wards. Because of the nature of the
links there, particularly tho traps,
many claimed that the only reason
Davison Herron-won the title nnd W. C.
Fowncs got to the semifinals was be
cause they were both thoroughly con
versant with the course, knew "every
blade of grass," iu fuct.
This argument can be immediately
erased. It can't stand up against most
ol the facts of golf history. Indeed,
mnny claim to tho contrary that It is a
downright hardship to piny one's own
course where something big is involved.
This is due to the fact that a player
knows on every shot where he must not
go, thinks over in his mind the sad
shots he has mado there before; in
short, is facing a constant mental
hazard, if he's that kind.
Alluring Purses
This leads back to the fact that per
haps there will be nothing lost by a
nottoo complete knowledge of the Oak
mont course before the open Is played,
and many local pros are taking this
into consideration in contemplating a
hurried golf excursion to the Smoky
City, leaving tonight nnd returning the
following night.
For thjrty-six holes the prize money,
ns incrensed, is larger in proportion
than many other open district cham
pionships nnd n couple of pretty fair
rounds might land n title as well as
considerably more than could be earned
at teaching in one day. There nre prizes
for the best morning and the best nftcr-
noon rounds ns weli as fat place money.
Chnrles Iloffuer. Philmont, won the
title Inst year at Whitcmarsh, and will
play in most of tho open events this
year, always a credit to the local pro
fessional playing talent. Sinco tho
prize money at Oakmont wns jumped on
Saturday there has been . considerable
more interest in the event. First prize
is $150; second, $100; third, $75.
Following the open comes the state
amateur championship on Wednesday
nnd following days. There will be
thirty-six holes to qualify, sixteen play
ing for the championship in eighteen
hole matches.

array of golf talent will, of course, be

RETURN OF
IS REAL GOLF EVENT
British Star Was Forty-four Wlurn He Won His Sixth
Title in 1914rRuth and Sisler Best 'All
Around Baseball Players ,
By GRANTLAND RICE
The Noncombaiant
Vnteearied, root, along tho field,
JI comments on the fray;
Wo matter vhat the contest is
He ha hi little lay. '
"Ho should have tried .out this or
that"
"Why did he make int throtpt"
"I'm quite surprised" ho did tiotf have
A better trick to thoto."
Apart from all Mo heat and strain
Ho look through clearer eyes,
While doping out the proper way
To carrv off Ota prize;
"I don't think T have ever tetn'
Adargcr hunk of bono"
"I vender tchv Ac tried that out
Poor fith he should have known, "
But out there in the thick of it,
Where tocary muscles trans,
Where Jumping nerve begin to skid
Beneath the heavy strain
Where brain and brawn are warped and
worn '
As trouble leave it sting,
Where shortened breath clog up the
throat
It's quite another thing.
Concerning War Clubs
"DADE ItUTH uses a bat varying in
weight between 52 and C4 ounces.
Rogers Hornsby uses a light bat, al
most 10 ounces lighter than Ruth's.
Bob McDonald, the longest hitting
golf "pro" In America, uses a light
club, weighing from 12 to 13 ounces.
Abo Mitchell, the hardest bitting
"pro" In Great Britain, uses a heavy
17-ounce driver with a shaft like a
young tree.
You can rarely prove from what a
.genius uses tho best selection you can
mako as a normal, average entry in the
game. '
On the Battlefield of Deal
BEFORE the current week Is out of
the way a human story ot more
than passing interest will be unfolded
at Deal, where tho British open cham
pionship will bo played.
Vardon was forty-four years old
when he won his sixth championship,
back In 1014. The great veteran lost
six competitive years by reason of the
kaiser's desire to be open champion at
another sport. Vardon's .renewal, with
that of Braid and John Henry Taylor,
both ot whom nave reached fifty, is a
sporting epoch of no small Importance
not so much as an individual affair as
it happens to concern championship ac
tivities at the half -century mark.
France Still Around
THE main international complications
of the year are between the United
States and Great Britain.
These two turn out the bulk of the
International program. But France,
after losing 2,000,000 of her men and
women In the most destructive war of
all time, can still point to these leaaers :
Boxing Carpentier.
Tennis Gobert, Dccugls and Mile.
Lenglen.
Golf Massy.
Counting in no others, France still
remains upon the sporting map.
SISLER and Ruth, the two master
batsmen of the American League,
tin hannen to be the two best all-
around workmen In the profession. Both
