CHANCE TO
OF CELLAR THIS WEEK
a
"CrixciaV Series With the Cincinnati Reds Will Decide
Championship of Steerage Class Athletics Surprise
Baseball World by Winning Two Games in a Row
ny nonntiT w. maxwell
Sparta IMIter Evening fuMI Isizrr
SEEMS ai If the Phils always ore engaging In those well -known and highly
advertised "crucial series." There Is a championship at stake the cellar
bamplonshlp which Is Impowilble to win unless you lose. Thus far the
Phils hare been very successful.
Last week 8t. Lose was here and four fast and furious battles were fought.
They were the best big league ball games played In this city at the time
Which meana nothing. Our Phils hnd a chance to get out of the cellar, but they
refused. The series ended two and two, the Cords climbed up to the dlrzy
blights which Is a way of referring to sixth place and the home folks still
re several leagues under the league.
No sooner did the St. Lose players depart than the Cincinnati Hcda stepped
in. The gents tolling for Pat Moran arc as bad If not wore than our uthlctri,
and, once more we will have a thrilling battle for cellar honors, It they can be
willed such. The Kcds have been staggering through the Hast with more ur
less success mostly less and have compiled the enormous total of two sep
arate and distinct victories In the last two weeks. Nobody has been able to
explain the miracle, but they won just the same.
While winning the pair they dropped ten others, but we will not mention
thera, outside of a couple of lines. Three were handed to Brooklyn, four
straight o New Ycrrk and three to Boston. This Is such a swell record that
vve feel proud of the Phils, who have won three gnme9 In the same length of
time. Therefore, according to the dope, Wild Wllyum's men are better than
those of Pat Moran. Now all they have to do Is prove It. which occasionally
la In-trlckit.
Today starts another of those things. If the home folks win. they slide
way up Into seventh place, which Is quite an accomplishment. If our local
heroes so far forget themselves as to fall to remember they ore on the Phila
delphia club, perhaps this can be done. The Pblls, when they play like the
Phils, are hopeless.
Wild Wllyum, who Is becoming wilder as the season progresses, threatens
to change his line-up, just to fool the boys. Yesterday he Intimated he would
witch Johnny Ilawllngs to short, Jack Miller to second nnd Cliff Lee to first.
This change will give Wllyum a shortstop. He haB been playing without one
11 season. It also will strengthen the club, because Lee Is a better hitter
kan Parkinson. In fact, anybody can hit better than the youngster.
PAT itOKAX and his trained troupe are among us today and will
linger until Wednesday night. They are here for two purposes.
After playing the ball game they trill attend the show at Keith's to
night and have a look at Cap .tnjon. G. Montgomery Young has given
the hoys a lot of comps.
A Few Words About Our Athletics
YESTERDAY, after the Athletics bocked Detroit In ten Innings, Ponnle
Bush In an open speech wanted to know how a club like that could be In
list place. A lot of other experta have asked the same question, but no answer
is available at the pment writing. The A's are last because they are last,
nd even the terrific pace at which they are now traveling doesn't change it.
They have an enormous winning streak of two straight games, which not only
fa strange but also unusual. It Is harder to explain the couple of victories
In a row than the standing of the club.
Anyway, Connie's athletes took a fall out of Cleveland on Saturday nnd
the speedy Tigers on the Sabbath. In the last two games they looked like
champions in the others like a lot of hams. Perhaps they will reform In the
present series In Detroit and be in condition to put up a good battle against
Bawston here on Decoration Day. We will have to look at them twice on
that day, and let's, hope they are worth looking at.
While visiting lb the West a story was shipped here Btattng that Cleve
land would like very much to get 8cott Terry. According to the yarn, Speaker
la willing to slip Connie $25,000, Pitcher Guy Morton and Infielder Lunte.
Now, let's take this thing up for discussion. Perry is a good pitcher,
but hasn't proved It with the A's. He gets walloped often and his defeats
axceed his victories. He hasn't been going very well for Connie and It's a
cinch Morton would win as many games. I.unte could be used for trading
purposes and the 25,000 bucks would come in handy.
THEREFORE, if the story is on
offered the vast sum of kale and
he doesn't accept.
' Pittsburgh Club Comes Up for Discussion
FRANK MACKIN, before he joined the North Hills Country Club yesterday,
made a wise crack to Bill Donovan, which wns as follows :
"Have you noticed how Pittsburgh has been traveling of late? Looks to
Tie as If they will win the pennant."
Bill merely grunted, because he had entertained the Pirates and also reads
the papers. Therefore, be dismissed the subject with a smile and "yes, I've
aodced It."
Mr. Mackin is a keen observer, even if a trifle late. Pittsburgh came
East on a crucial trip, took two out of three from Boston, the fume from the
Phils, four straight from Brooklyn and socked the Giants yesterday. Nine
Victories and two defeats is pretty good work, especially when one realizes
the games were played on alien soil.
Whit the Pirates really did, however, was ruin the Brooklyn club. Four
la a row Is a tough break and the pennant hopes were shattered. Perhaps
the same will be done to New York.
In Brooklyn yesterday the fifth straight defeat was handed out, Chicago
doing the dirty work. The fans became very sore or something like that and
gave Charley RIgler, the able and efficient umpire, a free glass shower. He
was presented with a Dock of bottles, and he didn't ask for thera, either.
All he did was give a decision which was accepted by every ono except the
Brooklyn team und the audience.
niOLER was grossly insutted. Throwing empty bottles is enough to
jj intuit anybody, brcausa there is no JkicJfc in vacant glassware.
Madonna Meets Carmen Thursday Night
TTINCENT MADONNA Is riding well this year. The Italian speedster has
lY made a big bit at the Point Breeze Velodrome this season, winning his
fast two races in a most sensational manner. On Thursday night Madonna
Htm In the last ten miles, gaining four laps on the leader, and Saturday night
km did the same thing. He is one of the moit popular riders at the track.
However, he will collide with stiff opposition next Thursday when he
tact Clarence Carmen in a special match race. Carmen ban jusf returned
from Europe, where he had great success. He won the Grand Prix In Parlfl,
the motor-paced cycling classic, defeating Seres, the European champion, and
li of the other crack riders. He has been training all winter, is in the best
f shape and will give Madonna a close rub.
' ALTUOVOII the season is early, there is a lot of interest in the
race more than at any time last year.

BACKHAND DRIVES
MRS. HUFF'S FORTE
Cricket Club Star and Sam
Peacock Beat Mrs. Harvey
and Ted Edwards
RESULT A BIG SURPRISE
ny SPICK HALL
The backhand stroke in lawn tennis
la a defensive one in an overwhelming
majority of cases. It is only the care
ful student und exponent of the game
who tries tn make thn backhand an
offensive weapon. Even Mich a great
player ns Hilly Johnston has nothing
morp than a defensive backhand, hut
his rival on the. courts, Hill Tilden, has
ueveiopeil a shot from the left side that
is far more than a defensive stroke.
Probably the greatest buckhand driver
that was ever developed In America
was Theodore Roosevelt Pell and he
worked on the stroke to the detriment
of the rest of his game.
Good backhand drivers among the
women plajers arc even fewer and far
ther between them in male, ranks, but
thero is one woman in Philadelphia who
has a backhand worthy of the name.
She is Mrs. M. H. Huff, No. 1 plaer
on the Philadelphia Cricket Club's
team. Yesterday Mrs. Huff assisted In
committing one of the biggest athletic
upscU of the season when she and Sam
Peacock, of the Germantown Cricket
Club, won the Country Club's annual
mixed doubles tournament by beating
Mrs. Gilbert A. Harvey and Ted Ed
wards in the final round before a big
gallery that thoroughly enjoyed every
minute of the play.
Not Even Considered
When Mrs. Huff and Peacock started
piny on irlday nftcrnoon no one con
sidered them as possible winners. Thoy
were not even dark horses. Thir were
completely invlMMo. However, if others
v.crc blind to their chances, Mrs. Huff
and Tcaeock themselves were not. They
went In to go ns far as they could and
they went the limit. The point score
snows wnat a peculiar contest It was.
First one team would forge ahead and
completely outclass Its opponents,
then the other would come forward with
a rush and show a revolutionary re
versal of form.
Mrs. Harvey played her usual steady
game, but her partner's game varied.
At times Edwards played brilliantly and
with that caw that always has been
characteristic of his game. However,
he was very unsteady. He was prone
to double fault and at other times ho
drove Into the net repeatedly on shots
that should have been sure kills.
Mrs. Huff, during most of the match,
played tho best jame of her career. Her
efforts wero thoroughly appreciate nnd
the big gallery was constantly applnud
lug her fine shots, which kept the rallies
going until one of her opponents would
lose.
A Tactical Error
Mrs. Harvey nnd Edwards attempted
to break up Mrs. Huft's game by ham
mering at her backhand, but in doing
that they mad? a tactical error, for Mrs.
Huff appeared to be stronger on her
backhand than on her forehand, and the
latter shots were all that could be de
sired. Sam Peacock played very steadily ex
cept during the second set, when both
ho and Mrs. Huff were decidedly off.
allowing Mrs. Harvey and Edwards to
win eight games In a row in the bctrond
set and beginning of the third. Pea
cock's came was not Mvcre, but he
proved to be a tine getter and hit con
tinual returns materially helped hh
team win.
In the consolations MIfp Helen
Scwell and Eddie Cassard defeated Miss
Anne B. Townsend and Kent Willing.
Wednesday afternoon the Philadel
phia and District tournament will begin

SCHOOL CAMPS
ON IS WEEK
Various Outdoor Interscholas'
tic3 to Ee Decided on
Northoast Field
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW
This will be a busy week for scholas
tic track athletes. Attention will cen
ter on the outdoor track championships,
known ns "Qunds," which will be held
this week and the lntter part of next
week.
There will be four class and one In
terscholastic championships. The class
championships will have no bearing on
the regular quads, as in the case of last
year, when the class championships
were inaugurated. 8ome confusion re
sulted In last year's championships, due
to the counting of all the meets.
Ilv counting the class and regular
quads together, a team which goes into
the meet n strong favorite will lose out
on account of their weakness In the
class tilts.
This happened in the case of Central
High School. The Broad and Green
streets institution went Into the fray a
strong favorite, but was beaten by the
Northeast High, which was strong in
the sophomore and junior quads. Cen
tral, on the other hand, easily won the
regular qunds, but could not overcome
the lead compiled by the Archives.
The championships will begin tomor
row, when the track athletes repre
senting the sophomore class of six high
schools, namely, Central, West
Philadelphia, Northeast, Germantown,
Frankford and Southern, will vie for
class honors. Thursday the junior class
will meet, nnd the following Tuesday
the senior classes will fight for honors.
The freshmen quads will be held next
Wednesday. All these meets will be
decided at the Northeast High field,
Twenty-ninth and Clearfield streets.
The class championships will fur
nish facta for the dopesters to attempt
to pick the winner of the big event on
Franklin Field. Many stars will bo
seen In action and some rorords nro
expected to fall. It will be much harder
to decide the winner of the outdoor
Quads than it was to forestell the in
door champ. Many upsets have been
caused In dual meets, hut this has no
bearing upon the real championships.
Many Stars
There nro many Individual stare at
nil the schools. Central has two stars
in Walt MacDonald and Hirst. Mnc
Donald is looked upon as one of the
best sprinters the Crimson and Gold
8chool has bid for many years. He
has been winning every race he has
been entered In in very fnst time.
Hirst, on the other hand, has been
doing fine work In the broad and high
jumps.
In addition to MncDonald, Central
has uncovered another sprinter In
Gould. He has been placing second
in every dual meet. Other men who
will try to bring the bacon home are
Gordon, cream of the locnl mllcnt;
Bauer, a hurdler, and Levitt, Gensy
and Schwlrtxerhoff.
West Phllly also has a number of
btnrs. The speedsters are strong par
ticularly in the distance events with
such stars as Captain Frailer, Dutton
and Comanor. They have a great shot

HILLERS BREAK RECORD
It is earlr in the season, of course,
but tlei nererthtless continue to be n
feature In the little leagues. In both
the Industrial Amateur and Manufac
tures' Leagues the lead Is shared by
two teams and taken as a whole tbqro
promises to be exceptionally keen com
petition this season.
In tho Industrial Amateur League
both Hohlfeld and Dlsston won, the
former just nosing out Bupplee-Illddlo
by a single run, score 7-8. The Ham
moekera sewed the same UD In the sev
enth when Center Fielder Ryan came
through with a homer that Bcored a
runner ahead of bird,
Supplee made a game effort to over
take the Hohlfeld crowd and tallied
once in . the eighth and twice in the
ninth, but the rally fell just one run
shy of tying up the leaders.
The Dlsston snwmakers continued to
keep op 'with the procession and de
feated Packard Motorcar 0 to 2. It
marked the second straight defeat for
raciard and was a Burpnse auer me
big score they ran up in the opening
game.
The other contests wero decidedly
even. Thornton Fuller won and moved
into second place by a ninth -inning
rally over Harrison Safety Boiler.
Thornton came through with four runs
In the final Inning. Ivlns broke Into
the winning column at the expense of
Oimbel Bros,, B to 2. Finkclsteln
pitched sterling ball for the cake
makers, while the playing of catcher H.
Hammond (or Olmbcls featured.
Liggett & Myers Cops
Liggett & Myers put a crimp in
the winning streak of DeFraln Sand.
The winners put up a wonderful game
and their batting was the best, of the
season. They compiled a total of four
teen hits, Kelly nnd Jones leading with
'three blngles. Liggett staged n rally
In the ninth that sent across the win
ning tallies.
Unit Construction, a newcomer In
league ball, shares the lead with Lig
gett. It met Oldsmotille nnd had a
regular picnic, running up a total of 21
runs against 3. . ,
Commercial Truck nnd Charles W.
Young are at the bottom of the ladder
with two defeats each. The showing of
the former is a surprise, as they have
many good players on the team.
Chestnut Hill Wins
A record was broken in the Mont
gomery County League when Chestnut
Hill defeated Ambler, 3 to 0. Last
season this club dropped twenty in a
row, but with Dave Bennls at the helm
things will be different and the club
will win ay lot of games. They had all
the breaks in the opener with Souder
ton. Oeoghan pitched wonderful hall and
allowed but two hits. Conahohockpn
opened its new ball park with the
champion Souderton club and lost a
tough one, 5 to 8. Doylestown put a
crimp in the Lansdale pennant aspira
tions with a 0 to 4 victory.
Olenslde has taken first place In the
Suburban League. The winners ral
lied In the eighth and tallied twice with
the winning runs, Hatborough won
from Wyndmoor by 4 to 3, also win
ning in the final Inning.

In every section of the country where
there is truck work to do GMC trucks are
being chosen to do it in steadily increasing
number. & & It is our own profound
conviction that any truck purchaser who
seriously seeks the best truck investment
must of necessity choose the GMC.

Interest ib the two baseball leagues tt
the Navy Yard continues to grow Wn
the result that Lieutenant Commsnn
GulbraMon and Athletic Direct
Zlraoskl are having a difficult time lb
arranging the baseball schedule. Etch
day sees two and sometimes three t....
games In operation' and. while thi A
games vary in quality, the enthutUim' l
shown far surpasses that displayed it
many games in which the players V
more qualified In the national sport.
It is not the Intention of Commaodir
Oulbtanson to concentrate on one tests
He would rather have baseball for thi
masses than tor tha few, and that he It
succeeding is evident by the fact that la
the Bluejackets' League there are now
thirteen teams represented.
It Is surprising to see the large a(."
tendance at some of tho games, Manr
of the civilians on the nlgbt shift hir'
formed a habit, of coming to the yard an'
hour or so earlier than the requlrtd
time to witness the boys playing ball.
After the bluejackets are through the
civilians have their Inning and up to
date eight teams arc represented In tbli
section with a possibility of four more'"
being added tn the near future.
During the week eleven games wan
played In the Bluejackets' League, with '
the following result:
