.TWO PITCHERS CARRY INDIANS INTO
fjSTHICK OF FIGHT; ALEX AND VAUGHN
imULULNG CUBS AROUND .500 MARK
M
?'
By KOnEUT W. MAXWELL
Sports IMItor Kvrnlnr Tubllc Idir

TWITCHING is one of the raoHt necessary nrtlclos used
. ' in baseball. Some flitgcr experts nay the work on
tho mound is more than 75 per cent of the effectiveness
ef n ball chiti nnd those guys said n big nrmful. Every
time a club steps out and threatens to win a pennant,
, look nt the percentage of the pitchers.
Tho Boston ltrnvr-s breezed through with three
' kurlcrs James, Rudolph and Tyler. Last year the
White Sox copped because Cicottc nnd Williams were un-
usually effective nud tills jenr, take n slant nt Brook
lyn and Cleveland, leaders In their respective leagues.
'Brooklyn has the most formidable twirling staff in either
knfruo and that staff it carrying Hobble's men through.
Cleveland lias two good pitchers Bagby nnd Coveleskic
and they nrc responsible for tho success of the Indians.
' Cleveland has won sixty-six games thus far and Bnbgy
and Coveleskic nrc responsible for thirty-eight of them.
, ,1113 former has been victorious twenty-one times while
i 'Stan, has turned in seventeen vln. The Ynnkees, being
one of the urdque ball clubs of the year, nrc winning
games by main strength nnd Babo Iluth. Their pitchers
aro not very strong, but tho hitting of the eight other
players more than makes up for it.
However, n couple of good pitchers can help a bnll
club a whole lot and a better example cnutiot be found
than the Chicago Cubs. That clilb nt present is so
journing in our midst nnd on it nro two high-class
hurlers. They nrc Grover Alexander nnd Jim Vaughn.
'Chicago has won fifty games and this pair has been in
thirty-ono of the victories. Alex has won seventeen nud
Vaughn fourteen. If the other hurlers hnd come through,
. JFrcd Mitchell would have been close to the top of the
' list.
Alcx'is setting his bumps occasionally, but he still is
tho premier right-hander of the circuit. Vaughn is about
tho best southpaw, so there is no chance to kick about that
brace of flingers. All of the others have won tho ro-
maining nineteen, thus dividing the work. Vaughn was
in excellent shape on Saturday nnd seemed to have every
thing a pitcher can desire.
JJO MATTER how you figure it, the pitchers make
il or break a ball club and the smart manager al
ways has a stock on hand.
Giant Hurlers Coming Through
THE New York Giants at present are causing a
lot of unrest in the National Lenguc and are threat
ening to take the lead nway from the Dodgers and Beds.
McGraw started off in the mud nnd trailed along for u
couple of months. Every time nn inquisitive writer
asked tho reason for the bum showing, McOraw would
reply: "Mv pitchers arc pot in shape. Wait until they
Jilt their stride."
It looks as if the flingers have fallen into line, for
the Gotbaiultes are running smoothly. They hoisted
themselves out of the second division nnd climbed into
third place within a mouth, making n great showing on tho
i western trip. With Xehf. Toney, Barnes, Douglas and
Benton hitting on all twelve cylinders, McGraw is getting
a superior brand of pitching nud profiting greatly thereby.
No one would be surprised if the Giants won the
pennant this year, but it is entirely too early to start
predicting all ovc again. You never can tell in base
ball and the New York club is a hard proposition to
i figure. In the past, it could play great baseball when out
in front, but just as soon as the going became rough and
tough battles were staged daily, they seemed to blow up.
They couldn't stand n close race.
"MOW TIIEY arc coming up fiom behind. They are
il io the heavy favorite to finish first and pcrhapi
that will help them along. The club picked to iciii
the pennant 111 March usually has a hard time to make
good.
Tyler Quivers, but Holds To
OCCASIONALLY, the Cubs get by without Alex or
Vaughn. Such an occasion was jestcrday when Lefty
Tyler produced his seventh win of the campaign. The
portsidcr quivered nt the start nnd at tho end, but he
held to nevertheless and had Just enough to bent our
Phils, -1-2. From the first to the ninth, Tyler was as
steady ns the Shamrock In drydock. Tyler has had a
lot of trouble with his wing and hns not been able to
take his regular turn In tho box. He's been nursing his
whip for sotuo time. It's not entirely correct yet, but it
looks ns if he's about due. If ho does come through, the
Cubs will kick up some fuss before October days.
Iu the ninth Tyler's main sail or something like that
Bcetned to be about to crack. Cy Williams started tho
wind blowing by dropping n singlo in right. Meusel hit
straight to Deal nnd a double play resulted. This really
saved Lefty. Fletcher singled nud scored on Jack Miller's
slnm for n base. Swat Cravath sentenced himself to bat
for Mack Wheat and ns usual came through this tltuo
with n double. Miller stopped at third nud Bevo Lebour
veau was assigned to do Gavvy's sprinting. Eppa IUxey,
the pitching piuch-hlttcr, attempted heroic work when ho
batted for Causey. Eppa proved he's more of a pitcher
than a batter by hoisting to Terry for the third out.
Tjler didn't need that fly of Ilixey's or tho double
play nny more than the United States Olympic commit
tee needs dough. He was pulled through a tough gamo
by good support.
F TYLEIV8 arm continues to improve and Ales
and Vaughn hold their present pace, tho Cubs tcill
cause many extra heart beats on their icay around tho
Xational League circuit.
Frank Walker Making Good
CONNIE MACK is having some luck in the West,
because he is winning a few ball games. He is
making some chnnges In his line-up, Inserting ncw faces
here and there and appears to be getting nway with it.
The lean lender has been up against it n long time with
his eighth-place club, but he is trying hard to make a
showing. He has scouts all over the country digging up
talent and is paying real money for likely looking athletes.
Recently he lifted a person named Frank Walker out
of the bushes In Bocky Mount, N. C, nnd this wns one
of the best selections he has made In some time. Walker
is n finished ball player. Many big league scouts looked
him over and several clubs were bidding for his services.
Connie paid a big price and, judging from the work of
the recruit, he wasn't stung.
FRAXK is in the line-up every day, hits the ball
iccll, has a good throwing arm and is a sure
fielder. That's all that could be expected of any one.
Doyle Praises Walker
BILLY DOYLE, once with the Phils nnd now with the
Detroit Tigers ns chief Ivory hunter, gave Walker a
big boost up In Bending the other day.
"He Is one of the most likely looking outfielders I
ever have seen," ho said, "and is bound to mnke good
in the big show. You could comb tho bushes from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ond from Cnnndn to Mexico and
a better prospect could not be found."
Doyle also had a few words to say about n visit he
made to Bocky Mount recently. He discovered n new
one on nn umpire and it is worth telling again.
"Rocky Mount wns playing some club down there,"
Billy narrated, "and before the game the umpire took
bis position before the grandstand and removed his cap
and announced the batteries. This is the usual thing,
but this ump had some new stuff to pull.
"He finished his announcement nnd then pulled -n
bottle from his hip pocket. He took n long drink, looked
around, wiped his mouth with his coat sleeve and said to
the audience :
" 'This Is a swell drink, ladles nnd gentlemen, and
I can recommend It highly. Honest it's n swell drink. I
use it nil of the time.'
d'VIIE umpire teas introducing a tirio soft bever-
age and teas getting ateay with it."

sentatives of at least New York nnd
Boston will also bo present.
D. E. Sawyer, metropolitan cham

The prizes are particularly fine this

trip by motor.
Vardon Skidding
Golf fans who look nt the scores
every day turned in after the exhibition
matches which Harry Vardon and Ted
Itay, ox-I5ritish champions, arc play
ing these dnjs against various American
pairs, have doubtless remarked that
Itav is hearing the brunt of the work
for his side.
Vardon, at fifty years of ngc. Is no
longer the Vardon who won six British
championships, and was hailed for rears
as the greatest golfer tho world ever
produced, the fans say.
This may be true but experts who
saw Vardon in action Sunday ngalnst
Hngen nud Barnes at Hollywood have
a different opinion.
The Vardon of today Is not. in a
sene, the Vardon of old. Inasmuch ns
he lacks the physical prowess, in ad
vancing vcars, of his game in its prime,
which affects, doubtless, both bis con
fidence and his touch. But outside of a
putting slump right now, that's sa far
as the storv goes.
Tho same shot perfection is there, the
iron nnd trouble play, and when he
sinks his putts he is always right In
there with a bid for the hole.
Outdriven
For example: In the exhibition nt
nolloywood-Vardon did not once In the
morning round have the longest ball oil
the tee. Many times, in fact repeatedly,
he trailed the leading shot by fifty to
sixty jards.
It would break the heart aud anni
hilate the game, probably, of n big nin
Jority of golfers to fail every time to
draw an "ah." "oh," whistle or ejacu
lation out of n gallery Mich as thnt.
There would be pressing which would
losult in slices, hopks, and things and
followed by a general disruption.
But not bo Vardon. Ho proved him
self the champion he once wns by the

though short.
in the snme easy style, always mov
ing his own game, Vardon would take
an iron and would get tucro just tne
same.
If, due to the longer approach ho bad
to make to the finely opened greens, lie
landed over short, or in a trap, Vardon
was sure to chip out so well that he
nearly nlwnys had a reasonable putt for
par.
That's a game always hard to beat,
even If you're driving them n mile.
Vni don's ns calm and sweet a sticks
man as you'll find and It's ridiculous to
say he's slipping. Indeed, considering
his length of service and the handicap
of his years, It wouldn't be far off to
claim that the Vardon of today Is
greater than ever, though he may be
out of the youthful championship class.
That Fourth
It would be Impossible to sec a hole
better nlayed than the fourth in the
afternoon. Thnt was tho prettiest
mashic and putting treat we expect to
have.
It's n short hole, a pitch to a banked
green. One after tho other each of the
four experts stood up there on the tec.
There was tho shining arc of a mashle,
the ring of tho ball struck, a flying
divot and tho graceful white rise of the
ball winging its way in perfect line to
the flag.
Biug 1 Down it dropped with a heavy
spin, one tiny bounce, nnd lay still.
Each ball lay from four to fifteen feet
from the pin.
Hngen sank his first for a bird two,
nfter Bay had hit tho back of the cup
but stayed out. It was up to Vardon
and he ran sldchlll Into the cup, firmly
nnd neatly from eight feet, for a bird
half. Barnes scored the third two,
when he sank his putt also.
The gallery gasped and then burst
Into cxhultant cheering. It was get
ting Its money's worth all through the
eighteen holes for tho $2 Invested to
watcii.
The cullerj. Incidentally, took lota cf ?un
lehment It wub rrcegaary to run nhead and
bank around tin Krcena In order tb seu much
on account of tho army of wltnraHcs. Thruo
ladles stopped braeile ehotn with neck or
shoulder and at leant a dozen fans were hit
durlne tho day.
Twice Horry Vardon had tho "ood for
tune" to hit a BDeatatnr tiur thn arreitn anl
to find hta ball had caromed oft onto the
green, where it otherwlae would have found
trouble). Oncn he would aurely have been In
a brook off the irreen, but hla ball bounced
off a human barrier, bounced well on the
irreen. and he Juat rimmed tho cup for a
blrdlc. after all that.
Jlra Damns lilt a person atandm on a

wondering how he'd ever play It. tlarnaa
camo up, drew forth a nlbllc. hit It out Itj
the fairway, played a cleek almot dead to
the pin way off there In the gloaming-, and
then got his half.
That's Kolf. as they write It ln the books,
If American golf has not tmproed. then

Treatment of Champions
A DAY or two ago we ran into nn
English sportsman in nn extremely
puzzled frame of mind.
"Why is it." ho asked, "that Eng
land nnd America trcnt their champions
In such different fashion? Over thcro
we hate to see our champions beaten.
V o pull for them as a nation to hold on
eternally if they can do so nnd are very
much upset when some outsider finnlly
takes away their crown. But over here,
it seems to me, tho average citizen is
nnxlous to see tho champion over
thrown. Ho nppcars to want him
beaten to welcome the variety of
change. We enn't understand this feel
ing nt nil."
This diagnosis Is 'partly correct. Yet
twenty-eight yenra ago America went
Into mourning when John Lawrence
Sullivan was overthrown. No one, ex
cept Corbbtt nnd a few of his friends,
wanted to see John L. beaten. Neither
Johnson nor Willard was a popular
champion nnd their defeat was gener
ally cheered. Dcmpsey could hardly be
classed as n popular type, and while he
will have thousands of supporters, there
will be countless other thousands who
will refrain from weeping if he is ever
hammered into the resin.
Types of Champions
THE answer seems'' to be that some
types are popular with tho crowd
and others nrc not.
Thcro was nation-wide disappoint
ment when McLoughlin, the Comet, wns
hammered from the top, because Mc
Loughlin had n personality nnd n record
which caught the fancy of tho populace
to n big degree.
There arc probably no crowds as
fickle ns the fans in baseball. We have
heard Pittsburgh gatherings pan Hans
Wngncr to a finish nnd wo hnve heard
New York crowds yell "Take him out"
when Mathcwson was slipping.
Thcro are many occasions when the
multitude doesn't enre for a champion
and there arc other times when the
same multitude bcglnR to yenrn for a
change of championship scenery upon
the theory that "variety Is the spice of
life." But In the main, the champion
over here who plays the game Bquarcly,
who is known ns n good, gamo fighter
nnd who has a touch of magnetism, can
generally bank upon the crowd's sup
port. Not counting that clement of human
ity, which isn't small, that in sheer
envy yearns deeply to seo nny head
rapped which lifts itself above medioc
rity. IN 1000, at Chicago, Harry Vardon
turned in 313 for seventy-two holes.
In 1013 nt Brooklinc he turned in 30-1.
If he can continue to cut nine strokes
off his score nnd turn in 205 at Inver
ness next week he will be close enough
to the big plum to inhale its juice.

Across the Continent
27.2 Miles a Gallon!
A NEW record for economy and stamina has just been,
A'j established by a stoctf Overland 4 when it averaged
27.2 miles to the gallon of gas in traveling from New
York to San Francisco I
Left New York midnight, July 18th; arrived Frisco 7:05
A. M. July 26th.
No attempt at speed was made, but the 3442 miles were
covered in 179 hours flat just behind the trains! The car
averaged 1 721 miles to the gallon of oil and, finished on its
original tires.
Twenty-five different drivers had a hand at the wheel in span
ning the continent. Not one of them had ever seen this car
before. It was relayed across the eleven states by drivers
furnished by the various Overland distributors along the
route.
Every condition of weather, climate and roads was conquered
as speedily as met. Mud, sand, hills and even mountain
passes proved no barrier.
The Overland 4 is just as practical for the roughest travel as
it is for quick and economical use in tangled city traffic.
Stop in, and see a duplicate of the "transcontinental car."
