MAXWELL Sport Edlter Krrnlnc rubllo Ledftr NO MATTEIl what kind of a record is mnde by n baseball club or nny other athletic team, one can look back Into the records and find that ' aomebody else hn done the lame thing or Improved upon tho performance. There's nothing new In sport, especially when baseball Is the subject under Last week eterybody was talking about the wonderfut work of the Giants when they grabbed five separate, distinct nnd consecutive games from the Pirates. While this was going on, the St. Loole Cards were taking six atralght from Boston, but as neither club Is a pennant contender, the accom plishment was passed up. The fact that the Giants became pennant contenders In four daya after being declared hopelessly out of the race gave them all of the spotlight. , . , ,. . . All of ulik-h gives us an opportunity to ring in some bright, breezy, happy historical stuff, which always goes good In Philadelphia. There was n tlmo when we never had a ball club out of the first division and on several occasion- our representatives went out and won pennants and world series. Those were the good Old days before we won our games backward. In 1016, after the Phils had won the pennant the previous year, there wis ft battle royal for the flag. Brooklyn and Boston were crowding tho Phtli out of the lead and a "crucial" series was played "with the Dodgers the first part of September. On September 1. Brooklyn led with seventy-two games won and forty-four lost, while the Phils were third with lxty-seven nd forty-nine. After the five games were played and the Phila took all ot ' them, the home folks were tied with Brooklyn and It looked as if another pennant would come to this city. The five victories caused as much " went as did the triumph of the Giants last week and, like the Isew Yorkers, - the Phils were boosted to win the pennant. TO Chandler D. Ulchtcr. who wrote baseball for the Evemno Pcbi.io Ledger at that time and was considered one of the greatest baseball writers In tuo country, dashed off the following: "The loss of five games not only enabled the Phils to crawl up on even terms with the Dodgers, but the moral effect of losing o many consecut je contests in this city and the manner In which the pitching staff was cripple, through the slugging of the Phils, probably will mean the elimination or Brooklyn after It had held the lead for four meatus. tCjTODSY Brooklyn may be considered in the also-ran class." Giants Established Two Records in 1916 ACCORDING to the same old dope, manufactured In 1010, the Dodgers finally won the pennant and the Phils were second. The five nn row helped some at the tin:, but the final punch was lacking Brooklyn came through in the pinch and entered the world series against the lied Sox. Now they are touting New York to cop from Pittsburgh, because It : I. aid the Pirates curled up and played dead in the memorable series. T he couldn't do anything right either defensively or offensively and received a thorough trimming. That's the talk going nround now and perhaps It is true. Every ball club Is likely to slump. Wise folks declare that the Giants would have a wonderful chance to win If they could play on the road. It Is believed that McGraw s men do better work on the Polo Grounds, which Is not at all Mirprislng. Everybody does better at home than abroad. .However. New York has established records on forelen soil and might be able to do so again. Onc more going back to 1010, we find that the Giants won seven een consecutive games away from home, the winning streak being broken right here In Philadelphia on the morning of Declaration Day. New ork pla weird baseball that year. Before the record was made they had drop e.l tight straight and were absolutely last in the league. Then, after a terrible umraer. they came to life again and won twenty-slx straight n September That was the most wonderful spurt ever taken by a ball club, iney knocked off the Phils for four straight to start with and then took on every Western club In order. They breezed along until September 30, when Lett) Tyler trimmed them In the second game of a doublcheoder. All of this, however, had no bearing on the pennant. The Giants had a percentage of .488 when they started and finished with .500. Had the season been two weeks longer, they might have won, but seasons never are stretched In the big leagues. , . , , This ancient history stuff Is pulled ot this time to ngaln prove the old tying that you never can tell what will happen in baseball. THE season has another month to i race and Boston and St. I.oote run of ttevnty-six might help one of Pittsburgh Still Hitting the Skids TODAY only one and one-half games separate the Giants from the Pirates. A defeat for Pittsburgh this afternoon nnd a victory for the Giants will hoist McGraw's men to within a game of first place something not even dreamed of last week. The Pirates lost a hard-luck battle In Brooklyn yesterday when Lefty Cooper muffed nn easy throw In the ninth Inning which would linve retired the Bide. Ill Myers, who had doubled, put on more speed nnd crossed the plate with the winning marker. Pittsburgh is getting desperate and has re called Trayner, the young shortstop, who was farmed out to the Birmingham club this spring. Trayner first will be used for utility roles, but is likely to finish the beoson at recond base. Tierney cracked under the strain in New York and Cutshaw's legs ore not strong enough to keep him iri tho game regularly. Moranvillc and Barnbart are taking care of short and third satisfactorily. , , The Giants nosed out the Cubs in an 8 to 7 battle, Irish Meusel winning the game with a triple, double, fingle and a sacrifice out of four times up. Johnny Bowlings also contributed a double, showing what the former Hills can do under fire. Bancroft played n wonderful game at short, accepting eight chances without an error. Wilhelm Deserved Contract for Next Year rE appointment of Irvin Wilhelm, of Wooster. O., as mnnnger of the Phils next year was a just reward for bis work with the ball club this year. Wilhelm took charge when the team was going badly, new men had taken places of the old stars and it was necessary to turn around and go in the right direction. Thla was done, many games were won and the players took on a new lease of life. No one can kick on Wllhelm's work. He got results and thews are the things that count. He deserved the chance to handle the club next year to show what he could do. Last spring. Wilhelm was out of work and was trying to land a Job as umpire in New York State. He also applied for the postlon os scout for the Rochester club and Stolllngs would have signed him If Bill Donovan hadn't stepped In. Bill Insisted on getting him ns a coach for the pitchers nnd seout. and Mr. Baker signed him. It was Donovan who brought Wilhelm back to the majors, and by a strange prank of fate he now is succeeding his sponsor. Wilhelm still is a good pitcher and occasionally steps in and pitches n few Innings In the championship games. I'p the State they say he Is the best hurler in the Sunday games, for he is well known up thorp. Wilhelm will be at the helm today in a doublehcnder against St. Louis. CoriHoM.

A. to three hits last Fri day, probably will be sent to the hill tonight.

JAFTE There nre only n trw boxers who are doing their own business. Charley White, of Chicago, is one of theso. Mnnaging himself is no handicap, snv-s the Windy City walloper of left hook fame. If anything, be contends, it is beneficial. Just before putting on the gloves with Hughey Hutchinson ami Bobby Wilson for two rounds each nt Adam Ilynn's yesterday White had tho following to ay : "I have been handling my own affairs for more than n year. In that time I have engaged in about twenty matches nnd did all of the business myself. Xo, the business end of boxing has not proved nny setbnek in my training in the least. Itenlly I find that it Is more of an nssct than n handicap. No Time to Worry "Why I figure It beneficial is because my mind is kept oft opponents more so than if some ono else was responsible for the financial end of my work. You seo. in talking business with various matchmakers and promoters I do not hnve any time to worry nbout what the other fellow Is going to do when wa enter tho ring. "You know n lot of boxers nre whipped before the bell rings, as they do quite n littlo fretting before n match. As to myself I tlo not think about my opponent until I find myself in tho ring. Hince doing my own busmen I feel that I hnve been boxing better, nnd I am going to mnke a hard bid for another match with Uenny Leonard." Immedlntoly after his bout here to morrow night with Ilennv Vnlger, White will leave for Xcw York for a conference with Leo I'. Flynn, Tex Itlcknrd's Mndisou Square Garden matchmaker. "Flynn has wired me to come over to talk terms about mntrhes with Leonard and Lew Tendler. While we may not do anything definitely I ex pect to appear in one of tho enrly shows nt the Garden with either the champion or Tendler." lilt on nrcnk Away If White succeeds in getting nnother contest with Leonard he is confident that ho will win tho championship.
