MAXVEU Sporln Editor I'.vrnln Piiliflr ICcIrit 77011 n long time yesterday nfternoon the cash nnd other onstomrrs nt the " Phils' pnrlt were positive thnt the Cards were ntnrked ngnliiNt tfio homo folks. Everything pointed to another niMenl, wlileli i n way of referring to the dally defeat. St. Lose did evrr thing but tnke tlie hats away from the men suffering with Wild Wllytim Donovan, and had a comfortahle lend when the rhlls went to bat in the ninth. Four runs to the Rood should make nny dub optimistic, and such was the ae with St. Lose. Flushed with three victories over the Brooklyn Club hist week. Branch Itlckcy whipped his trained troupe to this city to further fatten the percentage In the won nnd lot column. The club was going good nnd nothing could Imlt It. The Cnrds stnrtcd out to win. nnd would hnve dime so had the contest been shortened one inning. They were trimmed, benten, walloped, socked and otherwise manhnndled in the finnl frame, losing one of the toughest bull games In their long and checkered career. , The finish reminded one of n prize-fight In which one bloke, after being dropped a dozen times, niowly staggers to his feet anil stands there swaying nnd blcnryeycd as his opponent measures him for the final chln-pluster. Then, without warning, he starts a wild wallop from the floor, hurls it Indiscrimi nately, scores n bullseyp and knocks the sure winner for a round trip. St. Lor.c took It on the whiskers jesterdny. Before the furious finale I.ee .Meadows, who had been ailing for some time, enme out in the open nnd started to pitch. I.ee was In good health in the first frnme, but suffered a relapse in the second when he grooved one tot Jjholten and Bert lifted it over the comedy wall in center field for n homer. His condition beenme critical In the sixth when another home run. a double and n few singles netted three tallies. After that his case was diagnosed ns hopeless and he was amputated from the line-up. Lee did well while he was nhle to htay In the picture, lie allowed only tnirtccn hits nnd five runs in six Innings, and he snw every batter three times, lu other words, he pitched to twenty-seven Cards, which is enough for one afternoon. Those five tallies looked as big ns n house, especially when the 1 hlW most strenuous efforts to dent the home plat" failed dismally. They drew blanks six straight times, and It was not until the seventh thnt the audience knew our. heroes were present and voting. Cy Williams nnd .lack Miller un corked doubles, Cn-o.v Stengel hit n sacrifice fly which allowed Cy to speed homeward nnd Johnny Unwlings sent Jack across across with n tlmel bingle. Even with thnt pair of birdies they were three down nnd two to go almost Impossible odds. To make mnttcrs worse, Hornsby almost knocked down the lft field wall with a homer In the eighth, making It four down. THIS bring us to the grand finale, tchcrc the trarm turned, hut lid not remain i irnrm. The athletes from St. Low tevre treated ai rough ns the Lincoln High tray. Cap'n Irish Makes Good in New Job THE ninth inning dawned ns all ninth innings dawn nt the Tliils' park. The home troupe always nppenrs in the last act. but most of the time it means nothing. Spectators were leaving nnd Wild Wilyum was becoming unmanageable. Four runs to the bnd and Bill I'erticn pitching good baseball , made the odds on the Phils two hundred to nothing with no takers. Cy Williams waved his mace menacingly nnd Pertlca couldn't find the plate. Jnck Miller kicked in with his fourth hit of the afternoon and Bruggy made Shorten run to the scoreboard to pull down his long drive. One out. Donovan looked nround wildly for a pinch hitter nnd blindly selected Baum gartner. Stanley is a pitcher nnd not expected to hit in n pinch, but he vent up for the "good of the cause and hit a grounder to Lavun. Miller was forced, but Hornsby uncorked n wild heave which allowed Williams to score and Baumgartner to take second. Kawlings singled and Bevo sent the pinch pltcher-hit'cr home with n single too torrid for Lnvnn to handle. The score was then to 4. two out, two on base nnd Cap'n Irish Meusel at the platter. Cap'n Irish hud done nothing up to this time except carry the line-up to the umpire before the game began. The Cnp'n always does this and then tin executive work for the duy is done. He glared nt Pertlca and started to ware his bat. Some of the spectators halted to tnke an uninterested look nt the last out and others kept moving toward the exits. The first ball sailed toward the plate and Cnp'n IrMi swung. Straight toward the fence it traveled, but it wns foul by a couple of blocks. The next three were wide nnd the count was three nnd one, favoring the batter. Then came the sensational finish. I'erticn tried to sneak a cripple over the plate, but Cap'n Meusel was too smart to let It drift hj . He stepped for ward, took a mighty swing and the ball sailed over the right field wall for a borne run, his sixth of the seasou, and the jnnie was won by the score of 7 to II. The ending could not have been staged prettier for the home fans. The game looked hopelessly lost, everybody felt sore and disgusted, they had wit nessed a bum battle nnd not one person gave the Phils a Chinaman's chance to win. Then came the batting rally which ended with Mensel's home run and the bugs departed Joyfully to tell all their frieuds how it happened. C.tP'.V yeste yesteraay mennt more than all Athletics Boost Cleveland to First Place WHILE th place in this wns going on our A s the American League. It Indians were not sore about it. They hope to make It seven today. The White Sox took an unexpected fall out of the Yanks by the score of 12 to '', extending their winning streak to five straight. Cleveland just hates to lose ball games and it is said the pin.) era are Crabbing at every little thing thnt happens. On Tuc-dny Trls Speaker and ' Babe Ruth almost hod a fist fight on the diamond and were separated with much difficulty. Only meager reports have been published, but here's the low-down on the sernp written by Sid Mercer, who was right there and lamped eTerjthlng : "The responsibilities of managing the world's champs seem to weigh heavily on Trls Spenker." writes Mercer. "For jears Spoke wns one of the most nmiable athletes lu the American League, but now his disposition is soured to an unusunl degree. Perhaps the losing streak which the Yankees extended to five straight had something to do with it, for lie Indulged lu several tilts with the umpires and persisted In discovering ulterior motives lu little Incidents which ordinarily pass unnoticed. "One of those little snuubblcs nlmost caused n riot on the field .leMerdii) Ruth opened the sixth inning with a double nnd Pipp's ntteinpted -iirrltiie failed. A snap throw to Sewell caught Iinbe lint -footed off the bag and he made a desperate and clumsj attempt to gel hack. Sewell was in a rather awkward position when he made the putuiit nnd received a severe bump in tht face fiom Ruth's shoulder. "The shortstop's nose b!ed freely and time wns called while he received flrst-ald treatment. As soon us Ruth realized the youngster wns hurt In hastened to the diamond to proffer li is apologies. He was applauded when he patted Sewell on the back, but Speaker, who had come in from enter field, started an argument when he accused Babe of deliberate!) crashing into Sewell "Ruth returned to the bench, but apparent!) Speaker's iirciisatlun rankled him and aguin he strode out ou the field. He encountered Speaker near second base and both nssumed belligerent attitudes. They did u lot of talking and the other players gathered around. "Mnnnger Huggins rnn out and attempted to drag Ruth ana), but the Babe refused to budge. Within a couple of minutes the umpires mixed up jM the argument. There was plenty of mauling and pushing, but nobndv took a swing. Finnlly the trouble ended and Sewell went back to his position. At no time did the youngster act ns If he thought Ruth had purposely bumped into him, so it looks us if Speaker spoke out of turn." ALL of irhich sound great exeept the place u-herr Managei llugninn steps into the picture. Can you imagine Huggins trying to DUMi Ruth off the fieldt Red Sox Are Threatening the Leaders THE American League race is tightening up and a new contender for cham pionship honors looms in the oOlng. The Boston Red Sox are going good. and the victory scored over Detroit yesterday puts the club in third place by ft comfortable margin. But that Is not all. Something Is likely to happen today which will muse another upset If Cleveland nnd New York lose and Boston wins, the Red Sox will be In first place. Not so bnd for a ball club which wns shot to pieces during the winter. Wonder what would hnve happened had Frazee Kept his stars intend of sending them to the Yankees? In the National League, Brooklyn took another beating. The Dodgers evidently are getting no pitching or the opposing clubs nre on a batting spree. The Pirates slammed them good nnd plenty yesterday while the Olunts were taking a fall nut of the Cubs. Boston socked Cincinnati again and the Reds are headed for the cellar. Here's a funny angle to the Nutionnl League race for cellar honors. If tne PhlJ bent St. Lose todny nud the Braves tnke another from the Reds, what will happen? The answer Is the Phils will not only get out of the cellar, but slide Into sixth place 1 Nothing could be more startling than that. t!li A's and our Phils are playing thr same brand of Themes no difference, no matter laslnlace' teith the same number rsijfe the same percentage.

Wallace F. Johnson, the Cynwyd star, nnd Vincent Rlchnrds, the dnshing )oung iiftropnlitan expert will piny to gether in the national lawn tennis dou bles tournament which wns awarded to the WeMsldc Tennis Club. Forest HHN. L. I.i where the nil-comers singles meeting has hem held since it wns token from Newport. This team unijuestlonn- lily will be one of the strongest in America nnd there is every reason to be lieve that this nalr will have nn excel lent ehnnce to ndd the American double title to their long list of lawn tennis titles. Johnson nml Richards look to he an ideal combination. Apparently the only thing the) need to Irnp Into champion ship form is practice together, and thev intend to get this by entering n number of the big Eastern tournaments this summer. In the meetings lu the Phila delphia district Johnson will continue to have for his partner Stanley W. Pearson. (Jermniitowii Cricket Club, present nmnteur squash racquets cham pion of the I'nited tSntes. Pearson and Johnson will nlny together in the 1 hlliidelphin chotunionships, which begin on the courts of the Cynwyd Club next Wednesday, Reached Final Round Although Wallace Johnson nnd Vin cent Richards have played a few times together informally on the Wnnnninker voof courts, they hnve been in only oni tournament ns n doubles team. However, in spite of their not having plnved to gnther before that time, they reached the final round in the Newport invitation tournament in 11)111 nnd made a splendid impression on the liirr gnlleries thnt fol 'o ed the matches closely. In that meeting Johnson and Rich nrds plowed through to the scmi-finnls. where they met It. V, Tiiomns and Randolph Lyeett. one of the Australian teams that competed here lu n number of tournaments, on the occasion of the last visit of Norman E. Brooke to America. Johnson nnd Richards trimmed Thomas and Lyeett In straight sets of (1-4 each. Their superiority was even more apparent thnn the 0-4 sets would indicate. When the final round wns played, Brookes and Ills antipodean partnei, Gerald L. Patterson, were pushed to the limit of their tennis nbility, nl though thev managed to win Iti four sets. 0-1, (l-.'l, H-(. 7-.r. Johnson nnd Richards didn't get going nt all until the latter part of the second set. hut it wns too late to win thnt. However, the brilliant, slnshlng drives and smashes made by Rlchnrds, plus John son's steady, heady game, won the third set for them nnd they were within win ning distant e of the fourth set several times. But the persistence of Brookes gave his team the fourth set at "-." and the match and it wns fortunnte for the icternn left-hander that he did win thnt one, for he and Patterson were visibly .slipping, while Johnson and Richards were improving momentarily. Will Steady Richards Johnson is just the pln)er that Rich ards needs to steady him down. Rich urds has a tendency to fall down badly in ills game at times, but with John son to back him, he should be able to owrcoiup this fault completely. Rlchnids Is a fierce driver and plays a crashing overhead gnme. This gnme combined with Johnson's fine plnclng nnd his sharp, accurate olleylng cer tainly will make for a powerful offense and one which Is likely to smother nny team at any time. Johnson, unfortunately, has nevei had a partner of the needed caliber. Pearson is a steady, accurate, hlgh graiie player, but his doubles game is a trifle too soft to enable that team ever to reach national championship helchts. On the other hand Johnson nnd Rich ards make almost an Ideal combination. The change of pace and the vast dif ference in their execution "bf shots will make Johnson nnd Richards n tough proposition for any team. The oppo sition will hnve to look to Richards' sizzling drives nnd Johnson's wicked, deceptive chop strokes nnd unless a team Is very good, they will find them selves unable to cope successfully with tliis style of play.
