PHILS' HEAVY ARTILLERY REVIVES DROOPING FANS COLLEGE MEETS AND BOAT RAC
JUST A LITTLE HITTING CHANGES
COMPLEXION OF PHILS' PLAY
Crdvath Starts Something in Pirates' Game and His Teammates
Do the Rest Moran and Clarice Both Made
Foolish Shifts, According to Theory
Unless tho exhibition nf tcnlflc hitting given by tho Phillies In Hip seventh
nnd eighth Innings of yesterday's gamp la a fluke, I ho Icngue lenders have
,,t.,.t,A.. ..fl lt,n all,,,,.' ,vitl,l, li.iu fYilltt..l HiAIrt fnr VI VfMtH. TllO Indent
reason, If such changes are explainable, for this sudden recovery wns a complete
shift of tactics.
Throughout the game the Phillies were making Al Momaux pitch to the limit.
It seemed that eer butter waited until two strikes hntl been culled on him"
beforo ho offered at n pilch. Mnmntix's control wns good In u pinch nnd he con
stantly hnd Moron's men In n hole. Starting In the eighth Inning, every l'hllly
player took a crack at the first ball that wns near the plate, nml results were
startling.
... -
When the Title Turned for the Phillies '
After being held to three hits In the first six Innings, the 1'hlllles amassed j
four safeties for two runs In the seventh. After two men were left stranded on
the bases In this Inning, It seemed that the Phils had missed their Inst chance,
but the eighth Inning wns as sensational ns any seen al the l'lillly park this '
season. ,
Cmvath, whose weak hitting hns caused the Phillips' slump, walked up tn
tho plate and lilt the first ball pitched far over the centre-field wall Tor n Home
run. The drive went fully fifty feet In the nlr and cleared the screen above the
brick wall below the flag pole. It wns one tf( the longest and hardest hits seen
on the Phillies' grounds In In ears.
This drive started the seining and seemed to awake the sleeping nnd fnst-flowlng-up
Phils, Whltted unlked to the plate nnd hit the (list ball pitched for
n single to centre. Nlehoff followed nnd nlso hit the first pilch. It went to left
for n. double. To cap the climax, Paskert hit far over Unlid's head for a double
that drove. In the winning runs. This nlso was on the first pitch.
It was a wonderful exhibition of hitting, and the veteran "Ilabe" Adams, one
Of the best pitchers In Hip country, wuh amazed. He simply could not flguip
bow It happened. Perhaps he realized that the Phillies hnd suddenly changed
their tactics, but he still put the first ball over.
Quality of Pitching Deserves Heller Hitting
It Is to be hoped that the victory will really bring the team out of Its slump,
as It would be a, pity If such pitching as the entire staff has been offeilng should
go to waste through the failure of tlio Phils to (nlly a few runs n day. The
fielding has been miserable at times, but there Is no gieat cause for nlnrm oxer
this department If the men start hitting. When a ball player Is not hitting, his
Eenoral work suffers, nnd It Is only natural to expect the fielding to Improve If
the batting docs.
Pittsburgh Manager Made Untimely Shift
Both jnanagers made strange moves
laid himself open to criticism If their
Moran was the lucky man nnd Kred Clurke the unfortunate one. Clarke pulled
Mrnnaux out of the box with Pittsburgh still leading the Phillies by n run and
after tho youngster had pitched brilliant ball In all but the seventh Inning. It
did look very much ns though he was wobbling, but still Pittsburgh's chances
looked better If he had been nllowed to renin In in the box. nt least until a man
reached first. In preference to putting In Adams, who Imd not been thoroughly
warmed up. The change was made, however, nnd the Phillies proceeded to bat
out the victory.
...
Moran's Shift Foolish. According to Theory
On the fnce of It, Moran's move was even worse than Clarke's, but he got
the results, nnd, ufter nil, that Is what counts In baseball. When Wclser bad
batted for Chalmers, Itlxey wns sent in to twirl, nnd he got nwny In fine shape
In the one Inning he performed. After the Phillies had gained n two-run lead
and with two men out. Moran sent Dugey up to bat for Rixey. This removed
the southpaw from the game and Mayer was sent In to pitch the ninth Inning.
Naturally, there is more confidence placed In Mayer than in Illxey, but
when one considers the batsmen who were scheduled to come up for Pittsburgh
the wisdom of Moran's move must be doubted. After VIox nnd Gerber thero
were four left-handed hitters coming up In a row, and a southpaw's chances are
always better against a left-handed batspian, Kor a time it seemed Hint Mayer
Was In for a drubbing, as the first two Pirates reached first base and three left
handed hltterH were scheduled to bat. But Mayer reversed the usual order of
things and struck out Schang and Carey and cnused Costcllo to roll nn easy
grounder to Bancroft.
...
Iti.xey May Acquire Nerve, as Did Coombs
Moran took his chance and won with t, but he showed clearly that he had
little confidence In Itlxey. There Is much reason for a lack of confidence in
Itlxey, who has little in himself, but at that he has gone along exceptionally
well this season, and deserves more consideration. When Jack Coombs first
Joined the Athletics he was sadly lacking In confidence, but success In pinches
on a few occasions completely changed Coombs' disposition. From a pitcher who
was always looking for help every time he got In a hole. Coombs changed to a
man of Iron lierves. The success that followed Is well known.
...
Chalmers Begins to Look Like His Old Self
In his seven Innings on tlio mound George Chalmers pitched beautiful ball,
and It was only the miserable fielding of the Phillies that permitted the Pirates
to tally their three runs. Chalmers Is looking better every day, and the much
feared cracking will be in the far-off future, if at all.
When Chalmers pitched his first home game he had a heautlful curve ball'
and his old-time spatter, but the speed that made him a sensatlonnl youngster
Trnen lie first hroke into tlfe league was missing. He was successful in his first
game because, he used his bead and had excellent control.
Kach gnme that Chalmers has pitched since that time has found him getting
faster. Yesterday his fast ball wns very much like It was the afternoon he
broke In on the Polo Grounds against the Giants In 1910. On that occasion Chal
mers, considered a rank busher, held McGraw's sluggers to one lone hit. Jf
Chalmers continues to Improve and to regain the stuff he has lost, he wlfl be
one of the best pitchers In the country before the close of the season.
Nerve and ability to stand plenty of work were great attributes of Chalmeis
When he was at his best, nnd he still retains them, along with a lot he has learned.
Let the club stick In the race until the 1st of September nnd there are two young
men, Alexander and Chulmers, who can go the rest of the way, working every
other day, with Mayer to till luon double-headers. It Is a long way off and many
imngs may nnppen in tlie meantime, out
for Chalmers to be In the limelight.

JACK JOHNSON THREATENS
TO BECOME BULL FIGHTER
Ex-Champ, in Paris, Says Willard Is
No Fighter.
PARIS, May 15. Jack Johnson now is
a rival attraction to soldiers on the
boulevards, Asked If he came here to go
to war, he replied, "Man, for me war Is
over. I am at peace the first time In sev
eral yeara." His interviewer said: "Any
way, your name goes down In war his
tory, for big German shells are called
Jack Johnsons." Jack replied, "Wasn't
I In history before this war?"
Asked what he Intended to do, he aald:
'I have been Invited to be athletic dl
rector for a gentlemen's club In Havana.
I might go there and open a cafe aa a
side line. It certainly Is one of the last
good towns, but on the way here I stopped
In Spain to see bullfights. My goodness,
man, I certainly felt I wasted my time
at prizefighting. These bullfighters are
busy alt the time and make more money
than world's champions, so maybe I will
be a bullfighter'
Asked about the Willard tight. Johnson
ald: "That guy ain't no tighter, but you
can't beat him. Why, man, he's got u
reach from here way over there." Jack
pointed at buildings across the boulevard.

not In the entire country, while Doak wns
the leading pitcher of I lie old circuit last

though he did not take pnit In nearly so
many contests ns Alexander.
Uonk has not been nt effective this
season as he wns In 1911, but his vic

STETSON BASEBALL
TEAM OPENS SEASON
Fast Game Expected
Wltn
fnmnrioll'o Qnnr, TVTnn Tnnn. eonowcrs or uie interscholastlc organl
Campbell S bOUp Men lener , zntlon today are unnnlmous In their ordn-
to Throw Out First Ball.
Stetson will open up Its baseball sea
son this afternoon with tho usual cere
monies that attend a Stetson openlmr and
the largest crowd that has ever attended
a game on the new field at Fourth and
Berks streets Is expected. Campbell's
Soup team will be the opponents of Boy
Thomas' proteges, and tho Camdenltes
have gathered together one of the beat
Independent tenms In this section of tho
country. The game will start at ,1
o'clock.
Conch Thomas, of Stetson, believes
that his present team compares favorably
with the one that represented Stetson
two years ago. when there was no rule
barring persons not employed In tho Stet
son factory. That season Stetson de
feated almost every high-class semipro
fessloual team In the East and played
thrco sensational games with the Chinese )
rnlverslty team that caused much com
ment. Since last season Thomas has lost sev
eral players, the most serious loss being
Guerner. his star pitcher and best bats
man. Guerner Is with Joo O'Hourke'H
Albany team of the New York State
League and is pitching nnd hitting In
tho same manner that made him a sensa
tion In local independent circles.
The pitching will be well taken care of.
however. aB Thomas hns three good men
In Hansell, Wright and Nusky. Camp
bell's best pitcher Is 1 loupes, who Is not
In the best of shape yet. If he falls
to warm up well, then either Wlshart
or Shutz will be selected to face the hat
mnkers. Barney Stevenson will catch for Stet
son. This lad Is the son of Barney Ste
venson who managed the old Norrlstown
team more than W years ago. This club
cleaned up everything In this section of
the country and beat the famous Balti
more Orioles In an exhibition game. The
pitcher that day was "Sadie" McMahon
and Ned Hanlon took him away with the
Orioles, and he Immediately developed
Into one of the best pitchers In the Na
tional League and was a star for years.
The catcher was Barney Stevenson, who
turned down an Oriole contract.
Young Barney Is a "chip off the old
block," and according to Thomas Is going
to develop Into a high-class clatcher be
fore the season Is over. Other good
Judges of Independent baseball talent pre
dict a bright future for young Barney.
The first ball today will be tossed nut
by President John K. Tener of the Na
tional League. Tener is very much In
terested In the Stetaon club and n'"'nva
attends the opening games. Prominent
guests at the game today will mc.u o

Willi but two more games In the Inter
srliolastlc League scheduled for North
east High School, the Hed nnd Black vir
tually clinched tho Princeton trophy by
administering the fourth consecutive de
feat to West Philadelphia High School
eslerdny afternoon by a lB-to-13 score.
The Speedboys made n gnme effort to
nrean their loainir streak, to no avail, as
the big lead piled up earlier by Coach
' nrnchhold's boys wos entirely too much
o overcome
ions wiai the orange and Blue team will
he unable to even tie Northeast for the
championship. Each nine has a brace of
battles still schcduleil. However, in the
event of the Red and Black dropping both
games nnd Conch Alker's proteges win
ning their two, the teams will he In a
dcndlork for the lnurels.
The West Phillies, though, are not play
ing 4he artlcic of boll displayed the early
part of the season, and with Central
High making a strenuous hid for the
runner-up position, many believe the
Crimson nnd Gold will down the once
lenruc leaders when they clash Tuesday
afternoon
The Speedboys have an advantage over
Conch Doctor O'Brien's national pns
tlmers by a full game, and In order to
capture second place by the finish of tho
season the Crimson and Gold will have
to win Its three remaining games, while
West Phllly must lose at least one of Its
two closlnc contests.
The 191!i Interacademic League campaign
enme to n close esterdny afternoon with
the Penn Cbarter-Germantown Academy
match, which was won by the Little
Quakers, 5 to 3, thereby enabling them
to lemaln In second place. Friends Cen
tral, with 4 wins and 1 defeat, clinched
tho championship of the circuit last week.
Although the Northwest-West Philadel
phia game was featured by heavy and
timely hitting, errors by players of both
teams marred the contest considerably.
An even dozen mlscues vero registered
against both teams, the Bed and Black
players making 7.
All in nil, Noitheast hammered out n
total of 17 hits, while 15 safe blows were
ci edited to the Speedboys. The Sth
street and Lehigh avenue boys romped
oft with an early lead, scaring four times
In the opening round. When three mori
were made In the fourth, followed by flvi
in the following frame. It became evident
that Northeast would be on easy winner.
The many spectators, however, were
treated to n great surprise when the
Speedboys took their lick In the fifth, ral
lied, and nlso lammed out sufficient
blngles to send a quintet of men over the
rubber. Then again In the seventh In
ning four Orange and Blue athletes
crossed the counting station, brlngttur the
score 13 to 11.
SHAWKEY VS. HOCH
IN ST. LOUIS CONTEST
Athletics Hope to Even Up
Series, if Mack's Steady
Pitcher Maintains Form.
ST. LOUIS, May 15.-Bob Shawkey Is
slated to pitch for the Athletics agalntt
the Browns this afternoon, while "School
master" Hoch Is due to take another
fling at the Mackmen, To date the
Browns have taken two out of three
games from the champions and a victory
today will give Rickey's team the flrt
clean otit series over the Athletics In
several seasons,
Ht, Louis elwayn has been easy for the
Athletics who generally take three nut
of four or four In a row here, but this
season the Macks are having a hard
road to travel.
The brilliant pitching of Shawkey In .lis
first start against the Browna makes the
Athletics a heavy favorite If he can
show the same form this afternoon.
Hoch, on the other hand, has, had few
good games since the spring series with
the Cardinals.
In this Berles he looked like the Browns'
best pitching bet but since then he has
shown but little.

CORNELL FAVORITE
IN PRINCETON RACE
Yale's Crew Regarded as Best
Ever Princeton, However,
Not Without Hope.
PRINCETON. N. J May 15,-ln Bplte
of nit the reports of backwardness of the
crew that have been Issuing from Ithaca,
Cornell rules the favorite In Princeton for
today's race with Princeton and Yale,
Courtney's eight hUBkles look to bo one
of tho best crows that ever represented
tho Red nnd White, nnd there Is no evi
dence of the unfinished oarsmanship that
was said to bo giving Courtney so much
worry.
Cornell had two lovfs yesterday, and
In the afternoon workout went over tho
course. The big New York eight finished
a hard spin apparently ns fresh as when
they started. They have powerful leg
drive, and a quick, vigorous stroke that
sends the shell skimming through tho
water ns though driven by n motor.
The Cornelllans are minus Conch Court
ney, who Bent John Hoyln, the veteran
boatbtlllder, to take charge of the men
while they are In Princeton. "I couldn't
teach them any more tn these last few
days," said Courtney as the crews left
Ithaca, "so there's no use of my going
with them."
Yale does not look so strong ns Cornell,
although in the opinion of Princeton oars
men It Is tho best Ell crew that has even
come to Lake Carnegie. The Yale men
nre shorter and stockier than either of
their opponents. The Tigers and the
Ithacans loom up like giants In compari
son with their Now Haven rivals. The
Blue eight was out for an hour this
morning nnd for half an hour this after
noon. Guy Nikalls had nothing to say
about his crew nor would ho venture an
opinion on the outcome of the race.
JIMMY CLABBY PEEVED
AT REFEREE'S ACTION
Threatens Never to Box in
America Again Will Go to
Australia for Bouts.
dlmmy Clabby, of Hammond. Ind.. Is
filled with emotion over Referee Roche's
notion In stopping the fighter's bout with
George Chip In New York the other night.
Hl manager, Larney Llchtensteln, In
formed severnl Philadelphia friends this
morning that Clabby will leave New York
for his home tomorrow for a short rest.
Then Jim will go to Australia.
Clabby said: "I have fought over ZOO
battles and this is the first time I havo
been accused of faking. I don't think I
will box again In this country, as I have
made up my mind to go to Australia,
where I will get a square deal."
"I think that Boche made a grand stand
play." was the way Chip put It, "Ho
allowed the men In the tl seats to make
him believe we were not trying. I am
sure Boche made a serious mistake this
time."
Whenever a fighter nnd a boxer oppose
each other In the 24-foot ring, generally
a corking encounter Is the result. Joe
Hirst, back in fine form and fighting at
his old-time Bpeed, should keep Joo Hef-
iernan on the Jump In the latter's en
deavor to cross his haymaker at the
Olympla Monday night.
Jack McGulgan said this morning that
he will be ready to make public names '
of the opponents for tho Five Morses.
who will appear at the same show at the
National Club next Friday night. Irish
Patsy Cllne, of New York, may be Pal's
opponent.
Although Sam Bobldeau decided to take
a rest for several, weeks he will keep
himself In shape by playing ball. He has
been signed to guard the keystone sack
for the Point Breeze nine.
Two former nmateur champions, Joo
ruber and Young, Dundee, will meet In
one of the bouts at the Broadway next
week. Thursday night a week, Joe
O Donnell, he of knockout fame, will
meet the best bantam Matchmaker Tay
lor can get, probably Willie Mack.
