A urda afternoon and Shlbe Park wns nrked and jnmmrd. It wns the
largest crowd since the World Series In 101 I. but nobody wns responsible
for It except Hub Ruth. The mob wnnted te aee llamblne In action, and It
was a rAre treat te e him In two games en the name day for one price of
admission. The Athletics meant nothing. It was Ruth and the Yankees that
fittvr the big gate.
Last Saturday there was another record -breaking attendance at Shlbe
Park. The grandstand, pavilions and bleacher were filled te capacity and
hundreds were forced te stand., The lze of the crowd was estimated any
where from 18.000 te 'J5.000. the latter gues being the closest. The spei spei
Uters enjoyed a pleasant afternoon, raw some geed baseball and cheered the
home team In Tlctery. I
There was no Babe Ruth te attract the curious customers. The,re wasn't
any particular eutsld attraction, although Ty Cobb 1m and always will be a
big drawing card se long as he plays baseball. Saturday, however, the mob

Instead of folding up easily as they used te de and tnklng the big flop about
the middle of May, they decided te play real baseball and become n formidable
aggregation.

Philadelphia Was Known as Jeke Ball Town
FDR the last few years it has been claimed that Philadelphia was n peer
baseball town. Visiting clubs used te congratulate themselves if they made
expenses dutlng the series. The wise crackers used te say that the umpires
usually outnumbered the crowd two te en. which showed hew interested the
dear old public was in the matinees at Shlbe Park.
A losing ball club cannot attract much attention. The fans, who were
willing te go out and give their support, used te get disgusted after the first
month and find some ether place te go. Year after year conditions became
worse and it looked as If the A's were deemed te remain in the cellar for life.
New they are out of it, interest has been stimulated and baseball has been
restored te a UU4 basis.
Philadelphia fans have been hungry for a winning bnll club. They were
II set te threw their support te the team that first showed premise of getting
some place, and the Athletics happened te be the lucky tenm. Since May S,
. when Cleveland opened the East vs. West series. Cennie's gang has played
geed ball and the attendance figures have improved every day.
"Yeu never can make money in baseball unless jeu have a winner." said
Cap Husten, of the Yankees, one day. Cap purchased Habe Ruth for
1137,000 and, also kicked in with big money for ether players. He probably
has spent mere than one-half million dollars for talent In the last five, years,
but he has lest nothing. He get every cent of it. and mere, back at the gate.
Meney paid for geed ball plajers seldom is nn absolute less. .Jehn Mc
Graw has tried it and the (Slants never have been nn the verge of bankruptcy.
Instead, they have te figure hew te cut down their profits te avoid the

Cennie Had Lucky
IN A way. Cennie was lucky this season. He had his team all made up In
the winter, with Hauser en first. Dykes teqend, Calloway short and Chick
Galloway third. It was nn uncertain infield, because Calloway was nn ex
periment at short, and it was the same with Hauser at first and Gallewav
at third.
'"I dert't knew hew my Infield will line up." said Cennie Mack during one
of the practices at Eagle Pass. 'T am llkelv te switch evervbedy around
and don't be surprised if Jimmy Dykes is playing first. I wilfnet step until
I get the strongest combination possible."
Then came the big piece of luck. Pep Yeung was tried and found guiltv
by Detroit and cast ndrifr. AVaivers were asked and Cennie claimed him
TeunXH arm was said te be dead, but Cennie was willing te tnke a chance'
Pep was inserted at second. Dykes went te third and Gallewav at short!
Dec Johnsten was en first and the infield was better than in years.
Cennie also was lucky when he get Johnsten from Cleveland. The In
dians had turned him loose, waivers were asked and be was grabbed hr the

LOCAL SWEEPS CLEAN;
n SANDY McMBUCK
TVTARCUS GREER, the night before
'' the last two rounds for the honors
in the annual golf tournament at At
lantic City, remarked that he was glad
the stymie had been restored. He said
he thought il was a geed thing because
it gave an expert golfer a ehanre, at the
same lime requiring a skilled shot f
overcome.
He had no idea hew much part It was
te piny in his own fate en the morrow.
A stymie he laid his I.lanerch ciubmati'.
Jehn Beadle. In the final round the nett
day was really responsible for Greer's
ultimate victory, one up en the twen
tieth, and If was the fnt tournament
since it was restored where a stymie has
virtually settled the isue.
Hew Come
Greer had trailed everv bole of the
wav nnd suddenly began te skid nnd was
only one up when they teed off nt the
eighteenth, which he ule played rag
gedly. Beth developed stage fright in front
of the gallery banked nveund the green.
Greer was n feet from the bole in !i,
Beadle a feet en the ether Mde In 0.
Grccr putted brusquely, the bnll hit
he bark of the cup and hung there, .1
dead ttjmie en Beadle.
If Beadle could get down he'd be enr
up for the match. He'd InM in four
final rounds last jcar nnd wanted ilia I
one.
He squinted algebraically, trlgono trlgeno trlgone
metrically nnd every cither way nt that
line-up for several minutes.
Pinally he putted nnd knocked Greer's
ball in for a win. That was the works.
It made the match all -square.
After a hair-raising hnlf at the nine
teenth, Grccr Ktuck one en n mound nt
the twentieth. Beadle's chnnce.
But there was n lake in front of tin
tee nnd n stiff wind blowing in their
faces.
"What could be mere human." mur
mured the gallery, "than te top one Inte
the lake?"
And that's just what Jehn Beadle
did. Yeu may figure that this shot cost
Beadle the victory.
But if you'd seen Mint stymie you'd
knew that it told Gieer plainer than
words that twas his t nv
te keep en
and that falc would hand him the plum
and cup. sooner or later.
Present and Accounted Fer
The most terrible conditions that ever
reigned at the stormy seashore llnkspre
vailed the day before and en qualifying

Consequently the first (light was per

were reached.
Jehn Bendle nnd Fred Knieht. who
met in the finals Inst year of the same i
tourney, crossed brassies in the semi
final this time nnd Beadle get revenge
for the licking he get last ear.
Beadle was the winner this time by
!i and 4. urnclns te the fact that- he was
out In .TT nnd was two ever 4s en n
geed, windy day when the match ended.
Knight, en the ether hand, was net
getting up his putts, which, combined
with the fact that Beadle dropped a
couple from across the green, broke up
the party.
Marcus Greer met Tem Woelon. the
sentimental hcnhnre golfer, in t lir ether
semi-final and this uns n corker nft the
way. Woeton'sgirl followed hlin nrnun.l
and Temmy only had his mind en the
game In spots.
This wns Fred Knight's voluntary
nnal.iM of the match, nnyhew.
Hlusli nf Pride
But Weeton put the bluMi of pride ,
In bis fiancee's cheeks mere than enre
with the terrific battle he put up. In

be the winner. .
He wns hitting the bumps around the
