W t- W i "' J, "4 -fv :i , ! I EVENING PUBLIC LEDGEKr-PHItADELPHIA, SATURDAY, . AUGUST 7, 1920 V- WHEN IT COMES TO SPLASHY ATTIRE, THE MERMAID HAS HER SISTER BACKED OFF BOARDWALK V i w i ; I". i i t NEW YORK GIANTS FORM WINNING WHAtSlTAJSDFEJSJSAJST CONTENDERS f i MAYBE CHASED TO THE BACK ROW IT HAPPENS IN THE BEST REGULATED GOLF GAMES '!-. i "ITTHEN Jawn McGraw sicked liis Giants on the Cubs yesterday nud copped, grabbed, swiped nud otherwise won two games in the same arena, bo not only boosted his percentage in the won and loH column, but nlo caused a lot of nervousness in Brooklyn and Cincinnati, to say nothing of other points north and south. This winning habit lately developed by the. New York club is setting serious, and unless there, is a sudden halt all of tbc pennant favorites will have to wash up for a new act. The Giants are casting their shadow nil over the Na tional League and becoming n real menace. Counted out of the race a month ago, they took on a new lease of life, -Hepped out of the second division and started some ox cjtcment in the exclusive set near the top. They hnve been playing great baseball. Few of the games have been easy ones, and several times they came up from behind, win ning in the last Inning. Last Sunday they scored three runs on Cincinnati after two wero out aud the batter bad two strikes on him. A club plnjiug bnll like that deserves to win. At the start of the sea-on MoGraw said everything depended on his pitchers. If they performed up to their capabilities all would be well. If not, he would have a lot of hard luck. The pitchers arc in shape now. and proved it in the Chicago series. Three games have been played and the Cubs connected for safeties only nine times. Uarnes aud Douglas he'd them to two hits and Benton allowed fie. That's an average of three per game. Just to show what the Glant. have been doing, take u look at some llggers. Siuce July ill they have played fifteen games and won twelve of them. Cincinnati bent them all three times, scoring victories on July -1, -5 nT 31. Pretty good work, and that's that. TtlE hitters arc hitting the bnll and there is a great spirit in the club. McGraw, however, in worried about second base. Larry Doyle at present is filling the position, but no one knotr.i when the veteran will crack. Perhaps Jawn will make an other effort to get Ilornsby. Some Figgcrs on thc Hitters LOOKING over the batting nverages of the Giants, it will be seen that five of the regulars are hitting .300 or better. King tops the IK with .H2.". Voting has ..'i'-'l. Smith .305. Fri-ch .liO'J and Kelly .1100. Dave Bancroft also Is going gootl and has a mark of .-01, something strange and uuusital for the star shortstop. George Burns Is clouting .I!S2. Therefore seven of the tegulars art pick' ling the pill and driving In runs while the pitchers hold the enemy safe. But when it comes to hitting, the Cleveland club is shattering all records. The American League leaders have a club average of .31", and this, according to ex perts, never has been done before. Perhaps it is a record and will stand until our personal statistician, Urnie Lun tgan, discovers an old record which will make it look sick. Just the same, the Indians are hitting better than any Other club, and thoe timely wallops are winning ball games. In tho outfield Speaker lias an average of .-117, Jnmieson .332, Smith .310 and Grauey .300. In the in field Doc Johnston, the well-known singer, is clouting nt .318, Chapman .313, Gardner .303 and WambsgnufS is the weakest elster in the bunch with .210. The catchers also are up there, Steve O'Neil with .321 and Nunu tnakcr .304. These figgers tell a whole lot nnd prove beyond ques tion the class of the ball club now leading the league. Ten of the regular players are hitting over .300, and you can even go further than that. Two pitchers, Neihaus and L'hle, have enormous averages with the willow. Tho former has .414 aud the latter .10!). The Cleveland club is making a great record and can't be beaten when It comes to consistent hitting. It must be a tough proposition for a pitcher to go down the batting order nnd try to fool the Ohio clouters. If they meaning the clouters keep up the good work for By HOBEHT V. MAXWELL Sports Editor limine Public Icdger another month it will be hard to knock tbcra out of tho lead. HERE'S something funny which was discovered in the figgcrs. The AVio York Yankees, re garded as the greatest sluggers the game ever 7in rcn Mud noted for their tcrrifio onslaughts on op posing pitchers, arc fifth in club batting. That's one of the mysteries, but it is the tip-off on Mug gins's team. They hit only in spots. You Never Can Tell, Etc. YESTlvUDAY, however, the Indians fell by the wayside, and who do you think put the klboMi on thorn? Nono other than our A's. Connie's kids are playing sensa tional baseball and burning tip the league. They trimmed the leaders in ten Inuliigq for six reasons. The first was Ed Hommel, nnd you don't have to give the other five. Ed was in wonderful form, held Speaker's men to four hits and made it possible for the Macks to cop. The Athletics ore going strong In tho West. Usually they make the trip aud get nothing but n lot of sight seeing nnd some exercise. Occasionally they win n game, but not ofteu. The last time they wandered from home they lovt nineteen straight, which is a league record. There was tome doubt about tho thirteen straight defeats by Detroit at tho start of the season, but after the A's got through they were handed the brown derby trimmed with hamburger without question. Now It is different. In St. Louis they took two out of four, nnd it was the same in Chicago. Yesterday's victory was tho third straight, which proves thnt you never can tell In baseball. Today they will try ngaln. That unexpected wallop set the Tribe back a trifle, for both the Yanks and the White Sox copped. The Chi cago club looms up as tho real contender in the American League, nnd if there Is no internal dissension on the team Gle.isnn will finish strong. lie has some good pitchers nnd they arc delivering. Urban Faber has staged a comeback and has won bis last nine games. Ills record for tho season is sixteen wins nnd six defeats. Cicotte has won fifteen nnd lost eight, Kerr has nine nnd five nnd Lefty Williams, who beat the Bed Sox yesterday, has won eighteen and lost eleven.

The Phils Are Kind to Moran MIE Phils assisted Pat Moran and the Bedleg- in their hunt for another pennant yesterday when they allowed themselves to be defeated in a moist, dripping ball game by fhe bcore of 8 to 2. It was a secret victory for Cin cinnati, for only n few of the faithful faus were present to get an eyeful. George Smith wns socked hard in spots, and when he wasn't socked his playmates perpetrated six errors. Caey Stengel was the chief offender with a pair of glaring boots. Casey plays a ground ball with all of the dexterity and grace of a blacksmith repairing u Swiss watch. He runs in on the ball aud then runs back after it. He covers n lot of ground, but gets nowhere because he has to make a round trip. With n net he cau get away with it, but that's not nccordlng to the rules. However, Stengel rtartod to clout tho bnll jesterday, aud that helps some. The official scorer was generous la handing him a safety when he beat out u grounder to Daubert. but Casey didn't mind. Later in the gnme he socked ti double and before going to thc clubhouse threw out a runner ut third. JJMF ItiyG toiled for Moran and did well, lie won his game, and no one could do more. Today there will be tiro games, a first game and a .icronil game. Thc exits will be free. THE Yanks walloped Detroit yesterday. It was a nat ural ball game. Score, 7-11.

Billy Johnston. ,-tho present national champion and It ' Norris WHllams. But ns to tho fourth member of tho team there is jet ome doubt. Garland who got the fourth place on the team won the world's champion- , ship in doubles with Williams as his partner, beating Tllden nnd Johnston , at Wimbledon. But that dooin't signi fy that ho necessarily w ill bo taken to Australia.

Dugan, Witt and Keefe Above .300 ( EORGE h.i? a keen respect for his singles gnme us well as his double"". "There is no doubt that Wallace Johnson is one of the finest doubles plajers in the country today." Doctor Hawk remarked, "He hat, never gotten very far ht-cuuse he has not phijed regular with one. Not only that, hut he has never plnyed with a man who was as good as he. I believe tlit he and Tllden. for example, would make an unbeatable combination. He is a fine volleyer and his stroke is likely to throw any man off his game, either in singles or doubles." Anyone who has seen Johnson play doubles realizes thnt ho is a marvel ut the four-handed game. While he plajs strictly n backeourt game in singles there is not a nioro accuiito nor a faster man in the country than Wallace in tho lie is C ..4 t ,1..lln ..In. Ha fn fl New Zealand.

While Garland defeated Johnson in their last encounter, it K very doubt ful f Garland could make as good a showing in singles, should he be called Upon at Auckland as Johnson. John son's peculiar style of game would bo likely to carry him through against an opponent who wbh not familiar with his cropi where a man who might bout hira in America would fall. Great Doubles Player Whllo Wallace Johnson may not bo recognized nationally us one of tho greatest doubles pluyeru in tho land, it is nevertheless true that lie is nnd that his ability In team play is well known i ' Philadelphia and the East generally. - "Dr. 1. B.JIawk, who Is one of tho '$.ZMm tnnta authorities of the COUn- "try.!.' grstei believer in Johnson and American cb; Walinen defeated Doctor Hawk. I His was Doctor Hawk's first year in I'hiln ilelnliiii n ml he was nolmr ut II fine clip i then. When tho doc saw Wallace he thought it only it ijuesilou of three setsand it was. hut Wallace got the I three, all of which went to deuce. From that timo on Doctor Hawk took u great interest in Johnson. Some time before Wallace was rcc ognized nationally Doctor Hawk in an article in Collier's mentioned that if Wallace developed a more severe service and ft net gnme ho would win the na tional championship within the next fivu yenrs. This prediction produced u fow critical smiles by Philadelphia's teunls wlsencres, who confessed that Doctor Hawk's remarks wero rather absurd. Just to bIiow how littlo Doctor Hawk know about a tennis player, three years later Johnson met Mdurlce E. Mc- I T.n,iiM1n In lhn llnnl round for tDO pionsnu), wou uic mou two sets and led at 4-2 in the third before Mac managed to stem thc tide of defeat and bent Johnson bnck with his tremendous service and net play. Johnson ha. been in or near the first ten fjince 100S. when he was ranked seventh. That was the car hef iv lie captured the intercollegiate champion ship, wearing the Bed and Bluo of the University of Pennsylvania. I With such n record nnd still as good j as ever, it certainly seems that Johnson should be given a chance to represent this country in New Zealand with tho American team.

These drives "iinhled hint to pass his 1010 scoring record. This year, so far. lie is responsive for tixty- one run, two more than his mork of last seabon. Forty-one of these ho scored on homers. Tho other tallies were scored by the men who were resting on the sacks when the Eabc slammed his four-bascrs. Put there's another 1010 thrill the Pabe hasn't experienced this year. So far this s"as.on lie hasn't connected for the circuit with three men on. He did It four times hist year. Maybe he hasn't had the chance this season. In 1010 there were thirty on ba.c while Babe wns in the home-run mood. So far this enr there have been only twenty-one while be was clouting thirty-nine four-base wallops.

CI rimes is the leading pitcher, fol lowed by Cooper, Ueuther, Vaughn, Alexander, Xehf and Toney, in the order named. The nverages, which iuclude games plajed last Wednesday, follow: National League Batting AS FAR as ono enn figuro upon ccr tnintlcs In bnscball, the Cleveland Club will finish tho season with n tenm batting avcrago over .300. This pnee is something faster than thc old Cubs or tho old Mackmcn could ever reach and stands, therefore, ns the strongest offensive machinery of the last thirty years. Not AH In tho Ball A3A matter of plain, unvarnished -ft- fact," writes n fan, "Isn't 'Babe' Ruth's phenomenal record part ly duo to the livelier ball?" Consider first these facts: Last sea son wns Ruth's first campaign ns n regular, where he was able to ploy over 100 ball games. In that first extended test lie broke tho record with twenty nlnn homo runs nnd no mention was made of a lively ball. It is only natural that he should go better this season, with the shorter right field fence as n target on his home Held. Consider also this fact: Ruth nlnnc has mado more runs than any other entire tenm in cither of the major leagues. He has made more home runs tliati the cntiro Cleveland club has, or tho Whlto Sox, or the Giants, or nny other of thc fifteen clubs outside of his own organization. These clubs are nil swinging nt thc same ball. Worth Seeing TF YOU happen to XI be in the neigh borhood of Toledo. O.. next week. don't fall to drop in for a cnsunl or close inspection of the open golf cham pionship which the Inverness Club will hold. This championship will present the greatest bnttic Hint any championship lias ever known. There has never been a field nblo to offer so many stars as Vardon, Ray, Hugcn, Barnes, Brady, Evans, .Tones and Edgar among n few dor.cn others. When Vardon nnd Ray were over before the home standard was not nearly so high. Hagcn was a debutante Barnes wns barely getting tinder way. Jones was only eleven yenrs old. Thc latter, although facing ills first open championship test, will bear watching. lie has turned in numerous rounds this season below 70. and ho isn't thc type likely to crack at his first start. You may recall that in his first start at Oakmont in the ama teur championship, when only fourteen years old, ho turned in u medal round of 71. The type of Jones, aged eighteen, on one side nnd Vardon, nged fifty, On the other will present two wide extremes. And this will be only ono of thc many features which Inverness will have to offer in this golfing clash that opens Tuesday. Only Ono' Malty THE illness ot Christy Mnthcwson has brought up the point again ns to whether lie stands supremo ns tho greatest pitcher of nil . time above Johnson, Walsh, Brown, Alexander, etc. In the purely physical way of speed nnd curves he has had several equals, n few with more speed and a few others with ns ninny baffling curves. But certainly no other pitcher ever quite renched the same height in nation-wide esteem, nnd we think of no other who made nieh a keen, careful study of thc gnme and always carried the most alert intelligence into battle. Present-day fans only recall Matty as ho was around 1012 or later vn so many recall his first world se'rle. experience, when he pitched twcnt. seven consecutive scoreless innlne. against the hard-hitting Athletics"". ' In splto of such sluggers as "SncWi Seybold, Harry Davllf "Topsy" Xt. sell and others, wero utterly baffled by Mnthewson's skill.
