ED KONETCHY MAKES IMPRESSIVE DEBUT IN UNIFORM OF PHILLIES Performance of Big Boy at First and His Workat Bat Wonderful to Behold Knoclcs In Four of Six Rims By R0I1EKT XV. MAXWEUi Spoils Editor Evening Fnblle Ledner EDWARD THE LARGE, sometimes known ns Hig Eil Konetcliy, made his debut ns n member of the Phils yesterday, nnd a pleasant time was had. Big Ed was captured over in Brooklyn n few days ngo and shipped here for the purpose of playing first bneo. Ho did tlmt very thing ywtordny, and his initial performance on the initial sock was wonderful tn behold. It is safe to ay that we now have a first baseman. All that is needed to bolster the tenm Is a flock of other new faces for other positions. . Edward was very much in evidence and was the silver lining in tho dark cloud which enveloped the home folks at the end of the dully conllict. Ilnvlng rWon their game for tho week on Tuesday, the boys did not have to worry yesterday. Therefore the Ilrnvos of Itawston copped the final conflict of tho set by tho close score of 11 to 0, and ruined only three pitchers while doing It. However, it wag Koney who made the game close. The big fellow, as he often Is slanglly called, played a whale of a game lu the field and did better than that at tho home platter. During the afternoon he wielded a wicked willow and drove in four of the six runs scored by his new nnd original play mates. In other words, the most recent first baseman looks the part and will be r great help to the team. Tho first time he stepped on the saucer It was in chapter one. Ho did Bot get much of a hand because there were few In the park and those who wcro there didn't care who was at bat. Wrlghtstoiv was on third and was anxious to score. Koney blngcd a blngle to center and the runner got his wish. In tho fifth it looked as if our heroes would win the content, and it was hone other than Koney who raised fake hopes in the fain. The bases were all jammed up when he appeared and his single sent two counters across. And that was not all. He taw a guy on third base In Iho sixth and his third singlo was responsible for another run. Taking It all lu nil, the big fellow was up five times, nocked three timely hits and drove in four of the six runs. Nothing could have been fairer than that. ntr Koney is a very peculiar hitter, In tho ninth ho teat first up. and when ho taw nobody hanging around to bo driven in he struck out. St. Louis Opens Hero Today THE Phils looked very much like the Phils csterday. but no matter what can be said about tho team, it is kind to its opponents. For Borne reason "or other n game was won on Tucsdny, so all that Boston could do was leave I hero with three victories, one defeat and n healthier standing in the won and lost column. Their perspiring pennnnt chances were boosted considerably nnd 'it was with much grief nnd considerable reluctance runt they departed home ward last night. Nothing would hnvc pleased them more thnn to have stayed here and played the Phils all summer. However, the home folks have to help other teams in tho race for tho pennant, and beginning this afternoon they will assist the St. Loole Cards. Yesterday's game was just one of those tlilugs. The rubber brill was (bouncing merrily nnd nobody got killed. Several infieldcrs had narrow escapes, (but that's all in the game. Seventeen lusty bingles bounced off tho bats of the Braves, while a meager thirteen were collected by the Phil3. All of which 1 again proves that thirteen is an unlucky number. Fred Mitchell got too Mnart nnd did some renl guessing, which won tho 1 ball game for him. It hnppcned in the fifth, when the home-towners wcro J Impersonating a club about to put over a glorious victory. Two were out, two on base nnd Bruggy at bat. Fearing Filllnglm couldn't throw a curvo Iball, his manager ordered him to deliberately and Intentionally band Bruggy Sfour wide ones. This was done, the bases clogged and Hubbell nt bat. All 'jWlld Wilyum could do in a enso like thnt wns erase his pitcher, because 1 Hubbell is a pitcher not a hitter. Lebourveau stepped in nnd stepped out (gain, having fanned lnglorlously. nVT the damage had been done. Perhaps' licvo struck out more araccfullii than Hubbell, but it must be remembered that IV tlbur hat had more experience in that line. Anyway, the star linger teas out for the day and the Brave suffered no further annoyance. Ring Belted for Five Runs AT THAT time the score was C to -1 in favor of tho Phils. Jimmy Ring was jerked out of the bullpen nnd sent in to do something. lie did. "When he started, Jimmy had nothing but n sunny disposition and n pleasing smile. He lost bqth before tho side was put out without tho aid of the firo department. Bingles bounced all around him nnd the outfielders were yelling for taxicabs. Three doubles, a single, a base on balls nnd a foozle netted five runs, which proved to be more than enough. The new men on tho Phils pepped things up considerably, and pcrhnps when Goldle Rapp reports wo might have some winning strenks and things like that. Perhaps the boys might get together, play dazzling nnd dizzy bae ball and win two in n row. You never enn tell what will happen in baseball. However, the trade whlrh rent Rawllngs and Stengel to New York has all the earmarks of being u Good one. Jimmy Smith is nn aggressive, hard working, brainy intlclder, who loves to play ball nnd always gives his best. Goldle Rupp was worth 15,000 and a couple of players when McGraw bought him last fall, and although he did not go so good in Gotham, hu still is good enough to step In fast company. Ho Is said to have been rnzzrd unmercifully on the Polo Grounds and this affected his playing. With the Thlls he will bo s. star and fill the hot comer as it has not been filled since Milton Stock left us. Lee King Is n pretty fair outfielder and 11 good hitter agninst left-handed pitching. He probably will bo used In a reverslblo outfield from now on, alter cating with Wright&tone. rAKHfO it all in all, the now faces in tho rhll line-up should help considerably. They etin't do worse than the others and there is tome hope for tho future. Koney, King, Smith and Rapp, to say nothing of Richbourg, should put a kick into the club. Leonard-Tendlcr Next Big Bout WITH Cnrpentlcr laid on the shelf as n championship contender nnd the big match all washed up, the only real big boring bout on tho pugilistic horizon Is the Leonard-Tendlcr affair, which should be staged before the j boxers get too old to defend themselves. This match has been dUcusscd for 1 the Inst two years, but neither side appears willing to tnlk business and sign the papers. Leonard is tho llghtwelcht champion nnd one of tho most popular wo . over have had. He never sidestepped a mntch, met all comers nnd tho tougher ( they were the better he liked them. That is to fcay, he met every one except Tendlcr. Lew also has wnded through tho lightweight division, met and defented very logical opponent until now he is ull nlone with nobody to fight except Leonard. The Philadelphia was Inid up fir mouths with bad hands nnd returned to the ring on July Fourth against Tim Drony at Reudlng. IIo , made n great showing, although ho failed to land a knockout. In tho meantime Leonard was In Benton Harbor, all bet to meet Sailor Fteedman, but got a pain in his neck nnd couldn't go on. He also canceled another fight In Denver nnd went home. F TEX RWKARD could get this match for his Jersey City arena it would la almost at popular in this section as the big event Inst Saturday. True, it wouldn't create the national interest, but locally it would bo the biggest ever. Tendlcr deserves a chance at the title, and let's hopo Leonard gives him one.

Our Athletics The Western trip of our Athletics will decide lunch in the wnj of jotting out of the dark, dismal cellar tho Mnok lets have boon In for to manv. mnnv years. Chicago and St. Louis have Doen hovering just above the Inst flitch for tho last two weeks and this morn ing linve a game and a half lead ov r our Mackians. Four points separate Chicago from sixth tilnce, according to the averages this morning. If tho A"s can got nn even break egainst the In dians mid the other Eastern teams wal lop the White Sox and the Browns during tho flrft scries, tlio locals will bo out of the cellar.

Washington is certain to cuuco trou ble to the Westerner. A team but eight games behind first place at this time Is not to be considered out of the rnce by any means. That Is where the (JrllTaieii stand this morning. Tliiee games n-pnrate them from Detroit in fourth place. St. Louis and Chicago stand seventeen games behind tho In dians and tho Athletics eighteen nnd n half, which means that tho race on the whole is a tight one.

This afternoon the firato'i meet Brooklyn, with New York playing tho Cubs, tho Phils en tertain tho Cards here nnd the Boston Braves, tho mvstery team of tho league, meets Cincinnati.

Tho invader is Buffering with sjnovltis of his right thumb joint as a result of his blow to Jack Dempsey's Jaw on Snturday. . Synovitis Is tho doctor's nnmo for an inflammation of the lining mem brane of a joint. "Water on the kneo" Is the popular name for synovitis of tho knee joint. In synovitis n xemi- milky fluid forms lu tho joint, dis abling it and causing pain. The French champion is going bnck to his country to have tho injury at tended to in hopes that it will heal rapidly so ho can return to America to meet nny man of his weight that liickard has in mind for liiin. According to Dr. Jobcph U. Connolly j of Plninview, N. J., Cnrpentier iu Jured his thumb In a training bout with Joo Jeanctto three weeks ago. "When Carpenticr sprained his thumb boxing with .Teauctte, I was called to his training camp to make u thorough examination of tho In jury, which wus thought by WiUou, his trainer, and Dctcunips to bo n slight sprain," bald Dr. Connolly in New Yoik . CKtcrduy. "Ins-tend I found it to bu n bovcio enfeo of nynovitls. The i thumb joint hud been much dUtcndcd by the largo nmount of fluid thnt had formed in it." Dr. Connolly enld that he had been informed by n member of Cuipentler's training camp that ho bpralncd the1 Mime thumb several years ngo. This enrain left a weak hnot. no doubt, and when ho let loose a hard blow on Joo Jcnnctto's jaw turoo weeks ago it cnused a return of tho old injury. The accident wn3 not made known. So careful wns Gub Wilson that tho reporters should not lcaru of tho injury that ho never told Desoanips, Cnrpentier's manager. Dr. Connolly unld thnt it was only after constant massaging mid great nursing thnt tho thumb was healed enough to permit him to enter tho ring last Sututday. "lie wns gamo to the core," said Dr. Connolly yesterday. It was not entirely healed when he entered tho ring last Saturday. During tho second round, when thn Trnnclnnnn let go n series of right swings that thriHtencd ut tho time to bo the end of Dutipbey, ho opened tho joint of the thumb cniiHltig effusion. This weakened It and made it easy to break, whloh wns tho ultimate outcome. The metacarpal bono was broken, about one-quarter of an Inch from tho wrist. I WAS BATTLING NELSON ,A GREAT FIGHTER?
