Joney Plays a Whale of a Game and Is the Silver Lining "in Dark Cloud at Broad and Lehigh??
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.

Will Cleveland be able to with&tnnd

Thnt is n question 'on Hie lips of thoso

This, however, cannot be set down
with much certainly tins year, particu
larly after the irtnnner In which tho
Yankees burst Connie Mack's bubble
and that of Bohtqn nnd Washington

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. Connie bns been
pointing Ills team for the load and
how well he bus succeeded is manifested
ny inc tact thai he won three series
and lost one befoie starting for the
Ofoldcnt.
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.

It wnll bo nt least rlireo months be
foro Georges Cnrpentier will bo able to
box, so that tho plans of Tex llicknrd
to mntch the Frenchman with Tommy
Gibbons, of St. Paul, havo gono lloolc.
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.

Defeat American Legion
The hitting of George Lilig, of the
Westvillc Catholic Club, wns n promi
nent factor in tho 14 to 7 victory
scored by his team over tho American
Legion, Norton and F. Lllig were In
the points for Wcstvllle, and Tiiisman
nnd liloyd for tho J.cglon hoys.
Until pitchers hurled a steady game,
anil tho score does not indicate their
effectiveness', ns many of tho runs were
duo to ctrors of tean mates rather than
the clouting of their delnery. The game
was witnessed by a largo crowd and
was replete, with bensntioiial plays uy
tho infields' of both clubs.
HAT is tho one big event in sport

More Elemental
THK heavyweight championship car
ries n more direct, more elemental
appeal. Tho spectator gets more drama
with Ices need of technical knowledge
to collect his thrill.
The man who knew nothing what
soever of baseball could get no thrill
from the grcntest game ever played, for
he would not know what it was all
about. ., , , , .
The man who knows nothing of foot
ball may enjoy the spectacle of the
crowd Itself nnd tho nttendant scenes,
but he will never get intensely aroused
over the actual play.
Hut ho doesn't have to know a lot
about tho tcchnlquo of boxing to pick
up his thrill from n fight.
IIo can see, in tho mnin, whnt is
taking place. Boxing mny bo the most
scientific gnme In the world, but it enr
ric drama along bevond nnv technique.
It Is tho most elemental of nil the
sporting arts, the most primitive, with
wrestling n close second.
The Lending Thrill
