PIRA TES WIN FLA G
BECAUSE TEAM WAS
IN LEAD ON JULY 4
Ernie Lanigan, in Awarding 1921 Pennant, Produces
Figgers Showing That Club Leading League on Inde
pendence Day Almost Invariably Wins Gonfalon
Uy KOnEIiT W. MAXWELL
.porta Editor Evening Public Ledger
XITI1ILE Pittsburgh wns knocking the Phils for a double slam yesterday
W the Giants took second place in the game with Cincinnati. This in
creased the lead of the Pirates one and one-half games, nutting them out In
front by six and one-half games. With the season almost over am! only six
more weeks to go, it looks as if Gibbon's club would grab the pennant unices
turned back by a miracle. However, nothing like that li going to happen.
The Pirates were handed the pennant this morning by none other than Ernlo
Lanigan, the sensational statistician and figgor filbert.
There aro two ways of winning a big league pennant. One is to go out
and win more games and lose fewer than any other club, and the other is to
drag out the grnndoldopc and prove the championship caliber of the favorite
as early as May 1. This doesn't work all of the time, but a little thing like
that doesn't worry Mr. I.anlgan. Our expert Is too foxy for that. If he
makes a bum guess he never offers an alibi, but comes through with moro
facts and figgers about something else. By that time the first guess has been
forgotten.
"Pittsburgh cannot lose the pennant this yeor." he said mysteriously
as he wandered Into the office. "Not a chance in the world. Everything
points to an easy victory In the National League, and I have the figgers, to
ay nothing of the dope. They will win because" and here he paused to make
his statement more impressive "became they were leading the league on
July 4!"
"What the " we venture, hut Mr. I.nnlgaii Interrupted. liaising his
hand for silence he resumed his solo on statistics.
"Independence Day Is a grand and glorious institution," he said, "ond
very patriotic citizen holds n celebrution as long as he is able to celebrate.
Everybody knows that, but the day also has a particular significance to us
statisticians and figger experts. All wo have to do is look at the standing
of the clubs In the National League on that date ond we discover the club
that will win the pennant throe months later. It is not nt all difficult nor
is It In-trlcklt. A child can do It without the aid of a carpenter's pencil.
"All jou have to do is first find the standing of the clubs. Then find the
club in first place. Your work then is over, because that Is the pennant
winner. On July 4, llll'l. the Pirates were in first place with a percentage
of .071. That's my story and I will stick to It.
"Take a look at the tables now. The two games copped by the Pirates
yesterday while the Beds were trimming the Giants, put the Bucs exactly sixty
one points ahead of the Giants. These sixty-one points represent a difference
of six and a half box scores. Now then, the Giants, in order to tie the Pirates
for the flag, must win twenty-five of the thirty-nine games remaining on their
schedule if Gibson's gang does no better than pllt even In its forty-two con
tests, m
t(VOV need no further proof, (let ready for the WorW Series, and
i in a thort time I shall pick the icinncr in the American
League. It trill save a lot of time and worry.
Introducing Precedent in Baseball
WQEBHAPS you would like to know what I am alluding at," continued
C Mr. Lanigan, as he shifted in front of the electric fan, "and also where
I get that stuff off of. You shall have- the whole and entire story, right hero
and now.
"There Is such a thing as precedent in baseball, dcplte the fact that
fsw players know how to pronounce It. That's the big noise precedent.
Accordingly, the Pirates will win because In the last nineteen seasons records
how that nlmot invariably the team that Is In first place on Independence
Day qualifies for the classic, which is a way of referring to the World Series.
Capital letters arc used because it makes capitalists of the athletes.
"Now for some question and answer stuff. Who wns leading the Na
tional League on July 4, 11102V The answer Is Pittsburgh. Who won the
pennant that year? Pittsburgh. The Pirates were in the lead on Inde
pendence Day, 1003, and nlto in 1000. They won the pennant both times.
Therefore, according to dope and figgers and figgers never lie Pittsburgh has
a cinch this year. There have been exceptions uncovered In my research
work five of them hut Pittsburgh never was one of those present.
"New York won in 1004 nnd 1005 and were Fourth of July leaders.
Chicago came through In 100(5. 1007, 100S and 1010, and also had an Inde
pendence Day lead. The first time the dope was kicked to pieces was in 1011.
The Phillies were out in front in mldseuson with a percentage of .025, but
the Giants copped and the Phils finished fourth. In 1014 the Giants were
overhauled by Boston, the Phils bent out Chicago in 1015, Cincinnati walloped
New Y'ork in 1010 and Brooklyn put it over the Beds last year. Both years
the Giants finished second; the Beds, when they were overtaken, ran third,
and Chicago and the Phils, when passed, finished at the bottom of the first
division.
"The Boston Braves of 1014 stand In a class by themselves in coming
from the second division the foot of it to the top of the heap. This is the
year that George Stalling, now a magnate In Rochester, N. Y., earned the
title of Miracle Man. On the night of July 4 his club was leading the league
like the Phils and the A's backwards. They were 'Ml points behind tho
procession, meaning the Giants. When the season ended the Braves were
.014 and New York trailed with .545. The Braves gained ..120 while the
Giants were losing .000.
"No other National League club maintaining its position nt the top o
cllmblng to the summit ever traveled so rapidly as did the Braves seven years
M. The Cubs, 1000, tacked OS points to their record nftcr Independence
Day, and Brooklyn last year gulncd CO points after July 4. Pittsburgh already
la ahead of the 1021 record.
"'THEREFORE and Q. E.
pennant. Xothing can
figgers never lie."
Detroit Appreciated Donnie Bush's Work
'AFTER thirteen years of brilliant service, where he gave everything he
had on the ball field for the success of his team, Donnie Bush has been
rewarded by the Detroit club. He was sold yesterday to Washington for the
waiver price. .$2500. All of which recalls that famous truthful saying, "It
makes no difference what jou WERE, it's what you ARE today." The
past is forgotten when it comes time to attach the tinware. There is no
sentiment in baseball.
Short of stature, but nimble of brain, fast on his feet and an excellent
pair of hands. Donnie has been one of the leading shortstops In the American
League. He was full of pep, talked incessantly to his teammntes, telling them
what to do and coaching them at all times, arguing with the umpires when
ever he won not satisfied with n decision, he earned the reputation of being
one of the most aggressive players In the game.
The old-timers will remember Bush whpn he broke in as a kid in the
days when Bill Donovan. Plank, Bender and the other stnrs were fighting it
out for pennants. He alwan was popular, never laid down on the job and
fought until the end.
Donnie played in South Bend In 1007 and was doely observed bv Ring
Lardncr. whose home was at Mies. Mich., a short distance from South" Bend.
He tipped off n couple of big league scouts, but they laughed, thinking Ring
wbb telling them a funny story. At that time Donnie could have been pur
chased for $300. The next year he went to Indianapolis and from there to
.Detroit. He succeeded Charlej O'l.cnry at shortstop. Charley now Is assistant
manager of the New York Yankees.

Noblo "Rinser" Golf Event.
Two Holes in "One"
CRAB GRASS IS FOUGHT
By SANDY McNIBLTCK
Cruising up nnd down 'midst York
road golf yields many little items of
Interest. There's Huntingdon Valley,
for instnnce. This beautiful golf
course, one of the best kept in the city,
Is undergoing the worst siego of crab
grass iu its history.
A group of golfers stood mournfully
at the eighteenth green the other after
noon, vhere fifteen men wern seated
on its ex-velvety bosom picking, pick
ing all the day.
There was a pile of crab crass, al
ready gathered, as high nnd big around
as the spaghetti -fed workmen beside It.
Strings were lnld across the green nnd
they were picking over every Inch of it.
It was astounding to regard" the amount
of nntl-puttlng grass they were gar
nering. But right In the midst of this ses
sion it wns equally astounding to have
a look at the ringer scoring In the an
nual contest out there for the best -ball
card of the season. It was fast and
furious enough last year.
But this year the experts out there
are more thnn holding their own. By
the plnv two golfers out there pass into
the "Hole-in-One" Club, without the
formality of riding the goat. They are
Clajton Ingrnhnm. who holed his tee
shot on No. (1, nnd J. II. Daingerfield.
who likewise scored n "one" on the
punch -bowl fourteenth.
Daingerfield Is scoring n wicked total.
He holed an engle 3 on the third and
has got the difficult 2's on both No.
0 and 11. Ho hns entered tip twelve
holes so far nnd is nine under 4's.
Sixteenth Baffling
When we noted that Donaldson
Cresswcll had an eagle on the long
twelfth, n 3, we quickly looked up his
tory on No. 10. But no. They are even
chalking up 5's for that hole, and glad
to get 'em by tho bold way It's written
down.
A 5 will win thnt hole 'most any
start. It's one of the longest, hnrdest
nnd finest three-shot holes in the coun
try. It's n better test thnn the much
advertised fifth hole at Columbia, most
will tell you, though the out-of-bounds
feature is mostly missing at II. V.
C. C. Tho job at the latter is getting
on the green, while nt Columbia it's
a matter of staying out of the sand
heaps and in bounds.
K. A. Welheninnyer hns an eagle to
his credit on the fifteenth, which Is not
without the imagination, though they
do say it's a "tumble long putt."
George W. Elkins lends the ringers
with 5ti, including two pars he hopes
to better. Ills back nine is finished
with 27 strokes nnd he's 10 under 4's
for the sixteen holes marked up.
Harold Kltson has 5S strokes, tied
with J. S. Gould nnd Leonard M.
Addis. Jr.
There's n class handicap event for
today similar to that held Inst Satur
day. The scores then were : Clnss A

each time Hujcs had been returned the
winner.
Lnst night's result was somewhat of
a surprise for Jerry and the match
proved to ho a rather rough affair. Roth
fighters were weak at the finish. Hayes
just mnnnging to finish by stalling in
the final round.
Young Sam Lnngford walloped Young

Winning Tcmpcrntnent
A good leanful of concentration,
An armful of determination,
The polio that comes where one can take
Without dull wrath tho game t worst
break,
And still slog on the upward slopo
IVlth forward thought and unchanged
hope,
Content to let Ms ?iard-fought best
Decide his ranking with the rest.
A hcadful of tho will to win
It fate should take the proper spin.
The wilt to keep unchanging thought
Upon the main goal that is sought.
The one who knows that nono can duck
His share of pain or unkempt luck,
Out playing raggedly or well
Still slogs along in splicofcll,
THE physical part of nny gnmo shows
for Itself and therefore absorbs most
of tho nttvntlon. Mental control over
nerve nnil muscle Is nn elusive nffnlr
anil so is given llttlo consideration. The
instructor of the futiiro Is going to
etnrt teaching the principles of mental
control before he begins on tho physical
side of the game nt hand.

Mclnnln, Collins nnd Baker aro still
.300 hitters, htlll stars upon tho job.
Connie proved his greatness as n lender
with six winners in tho past, but he
also proved thnt the greatest leader
can make a greater mistake than n
mediocre typo could ever think of.

snys Jim Ilnrnes, "during the open

losing my temper. I don't believe there

a heel print in n bunker or the middle
