Band Performs Better Than the Athletics and Makes Hit
in Opening Game of Series With Yankees Mack
men Have Stage Fright and Hand Game to Visitors
Ily ItOMKKT XV. MAXWELL
Hport Kdltor Kienlns Public I,edser
TI1E Firemen's Band played nt Shibc I'nrk yesterday. This is a wonderful
musical organization and very much big league. The New York Yankees
also played at Shibc Park on the same afternoon. ThN is a big league
organization and proves It whenever necessary. The Athletics didn't play
nor did they show anything that even resembled big league caliber. There
fore, the Firemen'H Band upheld the prestige of Philadelphia by demonstrat
ing to 10,000 cash customers and 2000 kids that it could play something.
The Yankees made the populace of New York happy by doing the same thing
and Increasing their lead in the pennant rare. The Athletics were thrown
for a loss.
All of which is a brief prologue to the sad affair staged on the home lot
before a big gang of loyal sufferers. The Yankees walloped the A's by the
score of 7 to .' and were far more superior than the score indicated. The
league leaders socked the ball all over the place, ran buses in a wild and
woozy manner, swept the men of Mack off their feet and walked home under
wraps. Outside of that it wan n swell ball game.
Some terrible baseball was perpetrated in the early innings. The As
played a faltering game, and acted like u gang of raw, green sand-lottcrs play
ing before a crowd for the tirst time. There was steerage class written all
over the work of the home-town boys and nothing could be worse than that.
It seemed as if the A's could not forget the wen- playing the Yankees and
also couldn't forget they were the A's. They steppid out on the field licked
to a frazzle and the game had nine innings to go. They were there to take
a beating and took it. Connie Mack must have suffered untold tortures on
the bench.
IV Yankees pulled stuff they couldn't get away with in c game with
Natlvitv. Hridesburg, Sbnnahan, Klelsher or any of the other scrappy
twilight clubs. For example, take the second inning. Schang was on third
and Miller on first. Miller storied to steal and the ball was thrown to
second. Miller was a few feet from the bag and started to run back to first.
He arrived there safely because the infielders were looking at Schang, who
did not leave the bag. Then, when the double steal failed to work, Miller
calmly ktolo second without opposition. The A's teemed to be up the air and
frightened' to death. No wonder they lost the game in the early innings.
They could have lost a dozen games.
T IS a mystery how a big Uague ball club can show uch a reversal
in form. Against Cleveland the .A's played real baseball and
fought hard in eiery game, .limnist the Yank they were like a
bantam titling to cop the title from Jack Dcmpsey. Perhaps it teas
stage fright and perhaps the boys figured they had won enough gamti
this week. Hut whatever it teas, it teas terrible.
Have a Look at the Horrible Details
rrrHK game was not very old when the bnlloon ascension was staged. Miller
i- was an easy out and Peck doubled. ThU wns made possible when Hasty
erved n slow ball, which staggered up to the plate like a disabled freight
train. Itogcr knew it was coming and couldn't help socking it.
And then came Buth. Bambino got hold of one and sent it on a lice
to right field. Whitey Witt, knowing that Buth was at bat they couldn't
fool him decided that it was a home run and instead of running back to the
fence, rnn forward. At that, he almost was hit, for the ball struck the fence
about two feet from the ground aud bounced back for a double. This should
have been an easy out, but Witt thought otherwise. A real outfielder eov'd
have stuck the ball in his hip pocket.
That was the start and more was to follow. In the second, with Pipi
on second, Schaug walloped a grounder between third and short. The ball
rolled into left ilelil and Tilly Walker, after making a marvelous stop with
his bare hand, hurled the ball to the plate. It was a great throw and had it
reached Perkins the decision on Tipp might have been close. However, Hasty,
who wouldn't have been near the ball had it been necessary, shuffled over,
intercepted the throw for some reason and all hands were safe. Three runs
came homeward in the first two innings and there was a chance to stop all
of them.
Couuic Mack has worked hard with his ball club, has taught them how
to play the game, has drilled and drilled the players), but he cannot go out
there aud play the game for them. After yesterday's exhibition he should
buy the boys building blocks.
IJnbe Buth wns the big hero of the afternoon with his home run sock into
the left-field bleachers iu the fourth. It was his forty-third of the -eason
and came when two of his pals were on the sacks. Hasty was removed before
Bambino stepped up and Keefe was on the mound. He pitched two bulls and
the next was a foul strike. Then, with tho count of two and one, two out
and two on base, Keefe laid one iu there and it sailed far FAB away.
The Babe has a new stunt this trip. He is using his bean and trying
to cross the opposition. The infield plays back for him and on two occasions
yesterday he tried to bunt. Hi would have beaten the throw each time had
he laid the ball in fair territory.
The A's counted three times. Tilly Walker, who, by the way, is one of
the few real ball players on the team, hit his seventeenth homer iu the stands
in the sixth. In the seventh Welsh hit a long drive over Miller's heud, which
squirted out of the Yank's outfielder's hands after a hard try. In the eighth
doubles by Witt and Tilly Walker sent in the final tally. Perkins and Tilly
"Walker looked like regular ball plojera yesterday. Thut's ull there is, thero
isn't any more.
JkH WAS said before, it's a good thma the firemen's Band was at
Shibc l'ark yesterday afternoon. Those guys can I' LAY.
Old-Timor Admits Ruth Is Marvel
MUCH has been written in sport columns comparing the old -time ball
player with the modern high-priced athlete. The ball player of other
years usually will talk at length on the ability of the men of his day and
before the conversation Is over his listener is convinced that Davy Bancroft
is a slouch and Hughey Jennings the greatest shortstop that ever short
stopped. The veteran will admit that Alexander is a good pitcher, but would
be made to look like a piker against Cy Young, if such a battle were possible,
and he will tell you that Babe Buth never would have been heard of if he'd been
ploying back in the early eighties. All of which may be true. It is not our
idea to start an nrgument about something that happened during the Cen
tennial year, for at that time we hadn't even started to break milk bottltis.
However, the point we want to bring out now is thnt occasionally we
ran across an old -timer who will admit that baseball is just us good and
perhaps a little bit better now than it was twenty-five years ago. But one
dashes into a veteran of this type about u ofteu as Washington cros
the Delaware.
Such an old-timer is Amos Kusio. one of the greatest pitchers in iIip
history of baseball. Amos, as you know, now is official grotindkeoper or
something like that nt the Polo grounds, where he has plenty of chances to
look over the new talent the raujor leagues u produced. Husio was asked
recently what part of the modern game impressed hiin most. He didn't -top
to think it over before he gave his answer. The reply came immediately.
"Babe Buth."
TTJ HAD great hitters in my time," he continued, "but none
Vf could hit as hard as Ruth."
Modern Pitchers Handicapped
RDSIH is a quiet, retiring, unussuming mun on the other side of fifty
years He never talks much unless spoken to and then only to answer
questions. He. was asked what he thought of the present-dny pitchers, but
lie said he would rather not commit himself on that point until he has seen
more games. You see, it's been almoHt twenty years since he has seen a
major league game.
"The pitcher of today is handicapped," he said. "The ball is livelier
and the batsmen are helped by the rules imposed on the hurler. This cun
bo carried too far. (live tho pitchers n chance. But the fans wont hit
ting, 1 suppose and they're getting it.
"Baseball has grown into a great national Institution. The crowds
that attend the games are greater than ever. The White Sox scandal has
not hurt the game much. The fact that Judge Landis is Commissioner means
baseball will grow infinitely more powerful "
Busie was in his prime more thuu a score of years ago. He was the
best right -hand pitcher of hi day and is rated with Walter Johnson as
haying possessed the speediest fast bull of all pitchers. He was the hero of
the Polo grounds back iu 11)00, but now the grent throng of fans puss him
by without recognizing him.
Back around 1000 Busie meant more to baseball than did John McUraw,
Hughey Jennings or Kid fileason, but fate has uot been as kiud to him as
it has been to his contemporaries. In 1000 Busie hurt his right arm throwing
to first base and, although he remained in the big leagues for two more
fcasons, he eventually was forced out. He returned to his home in Muneie,
nd., where he worked as a laborer for u number of years. Later he went
sa Seattle to work in a lumber yard.
.
MrfiMir has not foreotten his former rival, lie respects him as
a great pitcher and made the position of assistant superintendent
' of the I'olo Grounds for his one-time opponent.

Trodyffrin Has Special Trophy
for Breaking Course Record
in Exhibition Tomorrow
FINE IRON PLAY EXPECTED
HOW TO START THE DAY WRONG
By SANDY McNIIILICK
Psoli. Pn.. is due for a terrific jolt
tomorrow. A lot of people nre going
out tiiere with the distinct purpose of
staying nil day. The only citizens
likely to know what it's all about arc
those who are members of the Tredyf
friu Country Club.
The strangers will be spilling n lot of
whispers about "pulling this" and
"hooking that" which will cuue oim
of the population to think thnt the Ku '
Klut Klnn or something is out for a i
field day.
Paoli ptoper, iiowcvcr, is not likely
to bo seriously molested. The whole
procession of invaders will head Tor thu
golf course, where u couple of the great
est golf artis'. in the world will play
a local pair.
Seldom has nn exhibition match at
tracted so much preliminary attention
and ir is for this reason that the bold
prediction is made that one of the
largest galleries of the season here
abouts will bo in attendance.
Fur tho Small Sum
The admission fee will be SI. and
m 'l0? tllnt several thousand dollars
will be taken in. because all the net
proceeds will be donated to tho Chester
County hospltnls and charity.
Many prominent persons will nsslst
n the tagging of those present, and it
Is probable that the golf balls used bv
the players will be auctioned off, auto
graphs sold promiscuously and so forth.
But no one will mind becnuse it's for
a worthy cause and for value received.
i i",rl;('a'i0 the zest of the principals,
the club is putting up n special prize
for any of tho quartet of stars who
wciSP;s in uwnking the present record
of i.t for the course or who sets up the
lowest mark for the day lower than
that.
Sketehily, Jim Bnrnes will be paired
up with Joo Kirkwood against Max
MlJrRt0 nnd Bob Barnrtt. the local
P i , "mt!l1 wi" four-ball
auair twice around, eighteen holes in
the morning and the same in the after
noon. To have n chance for the spe
cial prize, every putt must be holed.
Popular Hero
Jim Bnrnes began to build up his
national reputation some years ago
wlille professional at Whitemursh Val
ley Country Club, this citv, and has
been going like a whirlwind all along,
though he never stepped into the dawn
of Ins greatest ambition until recentlv
at Columbin, where he won the open
championship of America.
Lf.ng deserving of this honor, locals
especially joined iu the acclaim for
Long Jim." It will be his first np
penrance on a local course in miinv long
months; and now that ne is national i
euampion, your real fun will want to
be on hand fop the w k. friendly greet
ing. Especially as this is expected to
be his only appearance here this seuon.
Joe Kirkwood holds both the Austra
lian and New Zealnnd open titles. He
is now on the fag end of a tour of the
world of golf. He gathered no other
titles, but ho bagged n lot of the purses
put up for finishing in the money.

By IJDWIN J. POLLOCK
TT'S die p-icp that counts in tennis,
- football, baseball and virtually every
branch of sport and of life, too. The
race is always to the swift despite
the adage to the contrary, provided, of
course, other things are equal. It's
the pace that counts.
And, it was the pace set by the four
American polo heroes thnt brought the
Hurlinghnm Cup back to L'ncle Sam's
territory, according to Hubert C.
Strawbridge, a member Of the United
States reserve team, who recently re
turned to his home in this city.
"The victory of the American polo
pluyers," said Mr. Strawbridge at his
ollico yesterday, "can be attributed to
the pace they set and their ability to
shoot accurately while traelln at ter

"Hitchcock is only a little more than
twenty years old." he explained, "but
we knew his ability and believed him
enpable of doing just what ne did do."
Hitchcock and Webb each scored beven
of the twenty-one goals tallied by the
I nlted States forces.
A glowing tribute to the sportsman
ship of the British was paid by the
Philadelphia!! veteran.
"It was a keen disappointment to
the polo men iu Kngland to lose the
cup. but they were sincere in their
congratulations nnd did not hesitate to
extend them. We were given every
consideration in the way of accommo
dations und they went out of their way
to see that we were comfortable. The
