Judging from their April, May and June ?start each
season, it might be suggested that "None but the Braves
deserve to lag." And then, again, it might not, depending
on how you feel about it.
Judging from the way George Stovall, Lee Magee and
others have employed their hoofs in attacking Federal .
League arbitrators, it might also be observed that in this !
circuit the umpires are more shinned against then shin?
ning. But this, also, is not strictly compulsory. V.
at liberty to employ your own judgment.
Just a Word to the Braves.
No club in baseball has ever s?iown rarer courage or
mere enduring faith in the shadow of defeat than George
Stallings's Braves.
No club has ever rallied from such depths two years in
succession to launch a drive against the top.
No other club ha? gone as grimly to the task of rebuild
ing its shattered fortunes.
And probably no other club, unless il \?a.? thi old
Orioles, has ever gone as far toward -ough-nding un
a.ii! opposing player? as the line-up now under diacu
The Braves have gone beyond any fair limit in this last
respect, and the umpires of President Tener's circuit should
see that such tactics are curbed at once. We happen to
, know, from first hand, a few chosen expressions which
certain of the Braves have fired at opposing players in the
way of goat-getting artillery. And this system of warfare
has no part in clean baseball.
iVe give ground to no one in respect and admiration for
the mental, physical and | :' this
remarkable club, but the other pait of it doesn't belong.
Maxims of the 19th Hole.

the joy of the Follow Through shall hold a place of

About Even.
The value of Cobb, Collins and others can be ?;
j Cobb is batting .400. Collins is batting around 2330, field?
ing brilliantly and stealing many bases._, __>__._..
1 Pu' the case of Ever? Is tfie most remarkable in base?
ball. Here is a ball player rated of untold value to his
elan, yet he is batting under .265, has stolen comparatively
few bases and carries a fielding average of only normal
worth. This abiding value of Ever?, minu.s any u: .
physical brilliance, is final evidence of his unsurpa.--,.'.;
mentality and magnetism. For he is a {Treat ball player
where with the same physical records the average human
would be only a fi!ler-m.
The case of Evers recalls, in a manner, that of a esrtsin
second baseman who once toiled for Comiskey.
"How pood is this fellow at second?" a friend once
the Old Roman.
"He can't hit," replied Tommy; "he isn't much of an
infielder; he is slow and has a weak arm. But he is one
of the greate.-t ball players ! ever saw." As much depends
on the shape of the head as upon the batting eye, the
salary whip or the hoof.
Tigers vs. Red Sox.
Ty Cobb, discussing the Tigers' chance against the Red
Sox a few days ago, arranged the dope in this order:
"We have been playing the steadiest, the most consistent
ball of any club in the race since April. We haven't had
any spurts, nor any slumps. We have been merely moving
along just a shade above ,600. We are still due for a
winning streak, and if a certain pair of pitchers come to
the help of Coveletkie, Dauss and Dubuc we'll get that
streak and win. If they dont, Roston will win and we
will finish second."
If the Braves win a^ain this season the.r triumph will
be even more unusual than the victo: For
? year the Braves had in Bill James a pitcher able to
win twenty-seven battles. This season James has won
only five games and has concluded his work for the cam?
paign. So here is a deficit of twenty-two' victories con?
tributed by one man that Stallings and his men were
forced to make up in other ways. The wonder is that
with over a t'nird of his main pitching staff rendered unfit
the Brave pilot was able to make his latest advance.
The Greatest.
Hear S:r: I sec where Travers and Ouimet have been
ratet] as the two greatest putters in trie game. I happened
to have played against both -and also against Travis. And
1 happened to have watched all three in many of their
leading matches. And you can accept the testimony as
direct that for general consistency, for deadliness year in
and year out, for uncanny sureness alrrnv-ir. without a break
from the edge of the green to*within easy striking dis?
tar.ee of the cup, Walter J Travis with the putter ;s king
? them al!. As a master of this one club from every
'anee the gam? has rever seen his equal.
OUTSIDER.
Travis is undoubtedly greater t'nan either at the art of
rutting his long approach pu'ts dead to the cup. In the
way of holing out the ten, twelve and fifteen footers there
is little choice.
Taking the Teutonic Tip.
Commander Patrick Moran of the Phillies was never
trained in any Gorman war school, but he seems to know
a fairly efficient system when he meets it in the road.
r:g the German w?r scheme, Moran drove his Phrlhes
forward at terrific speed for the first two weeks, occupied
a large strip of alien territory, and then began digging in. .
Since the first of May the Phillies haven't won half their
games. They have been drifting a few points beneath a '
(00 per cent.
But that first drive was suSicier.t, and it may take con
s.derable blasting to blow them out of the leading trenches.
It isn't impossible that they may be able to pike along at a
dip for the rest of the way and ?till I
place through having had the keen d?cemment to jump in j
and bag eleven of the firs; twelve games played.

Taber.National Champion
Beaten by Ray in the

San Francisco. Aug. 7. Surprise fol

1 the national track and held champ?? i
i ihipi to-day, and favorites fell by th
wayside in many of the events. Th
greatest ami most unexpected reversa
?roa the defeat of Norman S. Taber
holder of the world's record for th?
mile, in the championship one mil?
race by Joie Ray, of the Illinois A. C
Taber was beaten in the slow time o
1:23 1-5.
The race was a duel between Tabe
and Ray. and the Illinois runner jus
forged ahead at the tape. Abel Kiviat
of the Irish-American A. C, of New
York, ran a poor race, and was un
placed, although it was confidently ex
pected by many that he would be u[
in the van to the end.
Le Roy Campbell, of the Chicago A
C, found conditions exactly to his lik
ing in the half-mile run and won ir
2:01. Campbell's rugged strengt!
stood him in good stead in the battl?
down the backstretch against the heavj
wind which swept the track, and al
though his time w-as seven second:
under his own mark for the distanc?
he had no trouble in beatinST his Eust
em rivals in the last sprint to th?
tape.
Another upset marked the final hea'
of the 100-yard dash, which went tc
J. G. Loomis, the Chicago A. C. all
around star. Loomis was not expected
to score against Howard Drew, the ne?
gro champion, but he outran his field
and won easily.
Arlie Mucks, the giant -veights man
from the University of Wisconsin, put
the lti-pour.d shot 48 feet 11 vi inches
for the title.
A huge crowd saw what was cor.sid
ere?l by track meet followers to be some
of the most exciting finishes ever wit
r.e.?.?ed on a cinderpath. With but few
exceptions the events were contested
right up to the tape.

Joe Cooper, Driver, and a
Mechanician, Lose Lives
at Des Moines.
DE PALMA VICTOR
IN GRUELLING TEST
Sets Pace from Start?Mulford
Finishes in Second Place, with
O'Donnell Third.
\ Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 7. Ralph de
Palma, driving a Stutz car for the firs'
time, won the .'?OO-mile automobile
derby here this afternoon, despite a ,
run of bad hick in the last five miles.
Ralph Mult'or.i, with a Deuienberg, ?rai
' second, and Eddie O'Donnell, in the
same make of car, third. De Palma'?
. r inio was 3:28:52.
I Joe Cooper, at the wheel of a Se- '
i bring car, was killed when his cart
jumped the track on the twenty-eighth '
lap. Cooper blew a tire as he was
nearing the grandstand and the car
went straight up and over the outer
i edge of the track twenty feet and .
landed on the outside with Cooper !
under the wreckage. Louis Piel, his '
mechanician, suifered a wrenched '
.spine and had three ribs broken. He
has only a fair chance for recovery.
Cooper curr.e from Youngstown, Ohio, '
wa? unmarried and was one of the
voungcr generation of automobile .
drivera, having taken hi? tirst mount,
abone four years ago. He bears no
relationship to Earl Cooper. Hi
earliest experience was on dirt roads
and he has done little on tracks or
speedways. He drove a car in the elim?
inations at Indianapolis this
and qual;:. the !:rr.:t.
A second bad accident occurred when
Bill Chandler and hit mechanician ware
hurled from their Deueenberg
again?! the rail on the
lap. chandler was badly injured, and
Morris Kieler, the mechanician,
shortly after reaching the hospital.
De Palma set the pace when the
driver? wer? g.ver. th? .--tartir.g
r.y Starter Jack Edwards before a great ,
throng at the new mile track. Lorn- [
bardi's O, ? Special went out of the
race at th-.' end of the tenth lap with |
a broken connecting rod.
Mulford took the lead at the end of
the first hundred miles, with O'Donnell .
leeond at.? i I?.- Palma third. Alley and
[Chandler were next in order. At tne
end of 150 miles he had gained ?*
of fcur ar.d live miles over this pair
and ?appealed to be going w?
De Palma wen' I : ?t place in
the 'JOlst lap w:th O'Donnell ie<
rd, th.id; Alley, fourth, and
Chandler fifth. De l'aima had '
lecor.d place on the ISSth lap when
Mulford went to the pit. O'Donnell's
time on th- 200th lap was li: 19:35. an
average of 95:96 miles per hour.
O'Donnell displaced De Palma in the

Wild Bill Pitches Here for First
Time This Season and Gets
Real Peevish.
By BEYWOOD BROLN.
Bill Donovan pitched at .he Polo
Grounds yesterday for the first time
this season. S'ories have come in from
the West now and again which hinted
that Bill w:,s lO-raotitioMly hurling
the ball at the plate or thereahouts, but
score showe.i that he
was no more than technically guilty of
pitching.

ovan ? -ometh'.ng or other. If
an out-of-town menacer eoaid dig up a
humired'h anniversary of this or that
he would ?ugges! lid be only
? for Donovan to get out and pitch
immediately after the parade of the
G. A. 1.
Bill celebrated nothing at the Polo
Grou:. Is ? *- deliber?

saw that R would never do.
