Swede Ilisbcrg was at bat, and the Swede was hitting 'cm all afternoon. Ity KOIiEKT W. MAXWELL. rorU Udltor Kvrnlng Public Ledger happen In a game of such a good Hturt; but, as was casually incntlonnd in tho prologue, you never can tell. In the first inning Frank Welsh bore out Gonnlc s theory that he is a whale of a hitter against left-handers when ho socked a homer into the left field stand with two on. In tho second, Cy Perkins walloped one to the same place, making the score 4 to 0. In the fourth, Harris (who, by the way, seems to go up in thojilr when danger threatens) forced a run over the plate when ho passed Idebold with the bases clogged, giving tho aliens their first tally of the p. m. That's how the gamo stood until the eighth, when tho A.'s got another marker, boosting the total to 5. That added score was needed, as was proved in the next stanza. The White Sox refused to be beaten, so in the ninth started to slam Harris all over the place. Four singles in a row, which netted two runs, gave Connie an excuso to send Harris away from there nnd Perry took his place.' Jackson greeted him with a double, placing Weaver on third and sending in another run. i it At III 'VI' to. " v j Scott Perry was twirling. He took the place of Bryan Ilarris, who had been chatcd when the Sox started to T elam his delivery or whatever it was. The spectators .' were on edge, for it was up to RIsberg to deliver or wash up for a new act. Perry was a trifle wild and the first ' three offerings were not even close to the plate. Then a perfect strike whizzed over and the next was a foul. I That made it three and two and set the stage for a new , chapter for The Book. ' The 8wede took a healthy swing nnd knocked a weak , Pop up in the general direction of first base. Either rerkins, Perry or Burrus could have caught it in his pocket, but Perk was the only one who started after the ball. In the meantime, Weaver was running toward tho plate nnd Jackson was headed for the wimo place. Two were out and they could take chances, for if the fly was caught the game was over. Perry waved Perkins back, thinking Bnrrus was under thespherc. Scott, however, made a mistake, for Burrus thought Perk was nftcr it. Therefore, all three stood still and the wenk, sickly, anemic pop-up fell safe about a 'foot inside the foul line nnd everybody scored. Now on a play like that nine hundred nnd ninety-nine 'times out of a thousand everything would have been .lovely, the funs would have called it a bone-headed nlav and let it go nt that. BUT THE ball, after hitting INSIDE the playing field half tcay to first lasc, took a funny bound and rolled FOUL. This teas discovered by Mr. Dugan, who put up such a strenuous hotel that Dick yallin conferred with Tommy Connolly and it tea decided that such teas the case, the runners sent back and Jlisbcrg returned to the plate. Then he lined to ttehola cargo of 'cm. "MOIIODY out, tuo on and one run needed to ' score made the situation precarious, to say tho hast. Felseh popped to Dugan, J. Collins fouled to Pcrkini and then came the play tchicJi to ill cause much conversation next tcintcr. Far From a Pessimist WHEN it comes to pulling the optimistic stuff, you have to hand it to Kid Olcnson. Despite tho defeat of yesterday, the Kid is just as happy ns ever, and last night, ( when asked who would win the pennant, he re plied shortly: "Wo will win." Olenaon is almost certain of coming through and has n few reasons for the public nt large. "Wc have a very good pitching staff," he said, "and it is getting better every day. Now that Kerr is in shape and Faber has returned to his oldtimc form, we have five mighty good flingcrs. Cicottc, Williams nnd Wilkinson are ready and will compare favorably with any in the league. "In addition, we have the best ball club on the cir cuit, and I don't care who knows it. Wc arc in a nice, comfortable spot behind Cleveland nnd New York, nnd when those teams wear themselves out fighting each other we will be ready to step out in frout. That's the way I have the raco figured out and my players feel the same way about it. JW THE game today I shall use Faber and prove to the fans he is just as good as in 1917, and that's saying a whole lot." THERE was a slight upset in the National League yes terday. Boston took a slam at Cincinnati, Brooklyn split even with the Cards and in so doing cased into first place. That makes a new leader for a day or bo. 1 THE Phils triumphed over Pittsburgh, which is v good news.

Huntingdon Valley won but one foursome match, the tailendcr, on the nineteenth hole, nnd this decided the issue, ns Merlon piled up eleven points nnd then only won four of the ten two some matches. The singles were a sur prise, but the ultimate victory was pre ordained, you might say. Max Marston was the victim of n trimming yesterday, though much less terrible than the one he inflicted the day before on J. W. Piatt, city cham pion, whom he deluged, 13 up. Mnrston was in turn never up yes terday on Dwight Armstrong, II. V. C. C, who won the match K up. Arm strong took six of the first nine holes. The defent of Piatt was a record for unnnimousness, but if Marston had found his ball on the serond hole in the woods he would have been out. yester day, himself, well over 40. Piatt had n 71 in the morning Thursday and an SO in the afternoon. Marston had a 70 against Piatt and was badly beaten tho next day. So goes the game of golf. If a plajer went at top speed every round, every day, he would soon quit the game from ennui. It's the breaks, the cracks, the thrills that hold stars and duffers alike in a vice-like grip.

And so through the tumbler, l'hiola. . we're croaking this restless refrain: "iro'rc taking a Brodlo on Bodio To crash the old apple again." LESLIE ALAN TAYLOR. Not Always the Champion IT ISN'T always tho proud possessor of the tin ted, crown who comes back wearing the purple. In two of the recent invasions Bill Johnston and Walter Hagcn went abroad carrying titles. They wcro the hendllners in tho double cast. ' There were no championship wreaths around the brows of Bill Tildcn. Bob Gardner anti Jim names. Yet this is the trio that went the longest way in tho general direction of the crest. Johnston, the tennis cham pion, was slaughtered early in tho pro ceedings. Hngen, tho golf champion, was distanced and tossed into the dis card. Tildcn, who had never won a turf tennis championship of tho United States, was the citizen who broke through at Wimbledon. And tho golf showing made by Gardner and Barnes the one in tho amateur, the other in tho open was immeasurably beyond Hagcn's final return. Tho Year of the B100I0 MR. PIZZOLA'S pet. phrase, "Crashing tho old npple," is not lightly thrown to tlie public. Somo years ago the old Athletics, with Col lins, Bnker, Mclnnls, etc., gave an astounding performance by batting around .280 for the year. As n rule, the ball club that can average .270 will lead tho league. But tlie Cleveland club, man for man, is batting .312, with St. Louis in Becond place at .208, Washington. .207, nnd the New York Yankees in fourth place with .200. A club batting .200 and fourth among the swntsmen 1 There was a day when two or three .300 hitters upon a club roster was held to be a vulgar display of batting wealth. Now wc have tho roster of an entire machine, something like twenty-five men, averaging .312 as the campaign swings into July. ,'iNo such powerful offensive against pitching has been organized in the last two generations. In the swirl of hits there were no less than 108 home runs, of which the Yan kees laid claim to 48, more than any otiicr brace of clubs In tneir league. Either the batting eye is being better focused, the pitching arm is wilting a trifle or the hop that used to bo on the pitcher's fast one is now in tho center or tlie ball. Tiie Old Argument THE old argument returns as to whether the American League has the harder hitters or tho National League has the better nltchcrs. St. Louis and Cincinnati, leading the National offensives at bat, are below the White Sox, in fifth place among club hitters in tho American. Arc Sisler, Jackson, Speaker, Ruth, etc., better hitters than Hornsby, Robert son, Daubert, Roush, etc.? Or, can Alexander, Ruether, Vaughn, Meadows, Cooper, Grimes, etc., out pitch Bagby, Quinn, Johnson, Covcles kie, Williams and Shawkey? If last fall's world scries is to be L. K. II. Tiicro nro certain da;, when Johnston can bent tim.. and there are certain days when Tildul can beat Johnston, At least this ha been tho caso so far. It may bo now that Tildcii's big victory has given hffi tho confidence which" ho lacked last Hen. tcmbcr at Forest Hills in his tZi match. It's a great thing to breiV through once fsTrAUFF back to tho mlnorst" -I-MVcll, they attempted to keen tha immortal Ping out of tho Main Tent un til his apple-crashing soul burst its war back into glory. A man may bo out but he's not always down.

On Thursday night when Carman won first place for America in the in ternational race, ho was clocked for forty miles in fifty-two minutes and fifty-eight seconds. At this sneed ho would have broken tho record which now stands at forty-four miles and three laps. Bobby Walthour, Jr., tho son of tho famous bike rider, will meet Frank Ilarris in a special match race, two best in three one -mile beats. Junior Walthour, who has been riding in amateur ranks only ono year, won two races on Thursday night. In addition tbero will bo two other amateur races.
