BIG LL
MATHEfOTS
BIG LtAGUt GOSSIP
N EW YORK, May -<).—l have decided to give much space In this article to the fast-
going Phillies and Dodgers. The Phillies merit considerable analysis. When the
(Hants played them recently, I never saw a Philadelphia team playing better, and,
as there has always been plenty of feeling between the two clubs, they were very glad to
clean up on New York as they did. The team is benefiting from much better conditions
this season than have existed in Philadelphia for many years, and these are mainly re
sponsible for the marked improvement, as it will be noted that practically the same men
are appearing in the hatting order that lauded the team in the second division last summer. William Docks,
thenew president of the club, is a practical baseball man, and he is giving Dooin a chance to manage the team
without worrying him with a lot of trivialities. The result is that Dooin is getting good baseball out of his men,
the best that is in each individual.
Again the Quakers have advanced
so far into the season without any of
the regulars suffering serious Injuries
and being out of the game, almoBt
a record for the club. It is not likely
the team will go through the race
with this rosy record, and an injured
regular or two will slow the club up
a good deal because Dooin is not well
fortified with substitutes.
• • •
'T'HE real strength of the team lies
-I- in the excellent pitching staff
which is the unexcelled feature of
the league at this writing. When
either Alexander, Chalmers or Sea
ton has been working, it has been
practically impossible for an oppos
ing club to do any hitting. It is this
great pitching which has permitted
the Phillies to make the good show
ing that they have, because they are
not a crowd of hard batters them
selves. They win their games by
small soores, depending on the pitch
ers and smooth fielding to prevent
the other side from rolling up many
runs. Now, when this pitching staff
begins to wilt under the strain of
the race and the heat of the summer,
as it is liable to do, the Quakers are
going to find a very much harder
road to travel. They would have a
good chance for the pennant with
more sturdy batters. As It Is now.
they are depending on their twirlers
and have not better than an outside
opportunity for the championship.
HE Philadelphia club has been
T
ante-season performances, it made a
very poor showing, being easy for
both the Athletics and Washington
teams of the American League. From
those scores, the Quakers looked like
the same old bunch, dead on their
feet, as they have always been, but
with the opening of the race on their
own circuit, they jumped away in
good style and are playing fast ball.
It is their speed and pitching that
have held them up so far.
“W
HERE will Brooklyn stop?”
stirring the baseball following por
tion of the populace now.
One of these days the Brooklyn
team is going to wake up and dis
cover that it is rated as a great ball
club, tremble at the idea and start
to lose. The Brooklyn boys should
finish in the first division. They
have talent at present to warrant
such a prediction, but they should
not crowd the winner of the pennant
in September. That is merely my
opinion. Perhaps it is based on the
years of mediocre baseball played in
Brooklyn and Philadelphia will find
it harder traveling when they start
away from home and Invade the
West. Not that they will encounter
particularly tough competition in the
West, but the handicap of playing
away from home diamonds and home
crowds is going to be a big one. It
will be observed that most of the suc
cesses of both these teams have been
made at home under the watchful
eye of home crowds. The Brooklyn
ciub has set its admirers crazy, and

up their voices to root for the home
club for years are tearing their
throats out regardless now. This all
helps a ball club, especially on that

ly, as Brooklyn has. Still the Dodg

Washington did last year and not let

'T'HE Boston club is the one which
A is paralyzing the ante-season
critics. Nobody could see any good
In that team before the race opened,
with the possible exception of Stal
lings, the manager, and James Gaff
ney, the owner, and yet it is playing
ball and becoming the talk of the
town in place of the declining Red
Sox. Stallings is responsible for it,
because he is a manager who builds
up a club. Within a year or two
the Boston team is going to be one
to take into the pennant reckoning
I believe. The manager is digging
up new material which suits his pur
poses and developing it.- One thing
he is looking for and which no other
Boston team has possessed for a
good many years is speed. His sys
tem very closely resembles that fol
lowed by McGraw.
So far I have not seen St. Louis in
action, but I do not believe its show
ing to date is Its normal stride. It
does not strike me that Huggins can
maintain anything like a first divi
sion pace. His club will not stand it.
* * *
YYJHEN the Giants were going
* * badly two or three weeks ago
and everybody was kicking the ball,
McGraw called “Larry” Doyle, the
good natured, to him after a game
and took up with him the matter of
an error he had made which figured
largely in the defeat of the Giants.
"Well," replied "Larry,” "you’ve
got to hand it to me, boss. I make
all my errors when they count.”
This answer disarmed McGraw.
“You're a great little, pinch error
maker," admitted McGraw.
* * *
I T must not be thought that I am
slighting the American League,
but there has been little change
during the week in that organization.
The Athletics are still piling along
with a comfortable lead, and Boston
is crashing down through the stand
ing, giving little indication of having
even a look-in for the flag. The Wash
ington club is the worst sufferer.
Griffith has had some hard luck that
has slowed up his team and hurt his
chances for the pennant very largely.
Foster, who within a year developed
into one of the best third basemen
in the league, is laid up with typhoid
fever aud will be out of the game
for pretty nearly two months any
way. This destroys the smooth work
ing of the infield, because Laporte
is slow.
Johnson, the pitcher, Is the won
der of the season. He established
his record of fifty-six scoreless in
nings last week. To my mind, he is
not only the greatest in the game
to-day, but the greatest in the game
has ever produced. He did not make
By Percy H. Whiting.
$ 4 \ 17 rE’LL go flying when our
pitchers get right.” So
said Bill Smith before
Monday’s game. “Nobody need
think we’re scared. I never saw a
team playing better ball and losing
in my life than the Crackers did on
their trip. And they never lost their
nerve. If the pitchers come through
we’ll win in a walk. And you needn’t
Worry. They're coming.”
One of the pitchers came through
Monday and it was plain sailing for
the Crackers.
• * •
THE Crackers have the best infield
1 and outfield combination that the
Southern League ever saw. That’s
positively official. There’s nothing
else in the world to it.
Bailey, Welchonce and Long form
the best outfield ever seen in the
Southern League.
Agler, Alperman, Bisland and
Smith constitute an infield the like
of which was never seen before in
Dixie.
The catching staff will do as it
stands to-day. and if it doesn't con
tinue standing right Bill Smith will
kick it overboard and load up with
some men who can deliver. That’s
official too and right from Bill Smith.
The pitchers are Smith’s only
trouble.
“At that they look pretty good,”
says Billy. “This Gilbert Price is a
positive marvel. I never in all my
days saw' a hurler with more stuff.
He seems to weaken sometimes at
the end of a game. I don’t know
whether he gets overconfident or
weakens physically. If he gets to
lasting all the way they couldn’t beat
him in’ fifty years.

AS for Paul Musser, he showed that

the catalogue yesterday. He allow
ed five hits, one a scratch home run.
If Tommy Long hadn’t misjudged this
ball badly only one run would have
been made off Musser. His control
was vastly better than usual and he
looked a great pitcher.
As for the Crackers—they played
the ball they have been playing al
most all the season. They got to

In the third Graham slipped one
by Kissinger. Musser bunted safe—•
a peach of a performance for a pitch

clean home run that won the game.

one hit. But they did not need even
