E X-SOUTHERN Leaguer* are
making a noise like a elide
trombone up In the select cir
cle* of the National League. Some
of them are high up. some low down
but they’re all there with something.
For instance:
Slim Sallee, ex-Baron. Is the cham
pion rescuer of the league. Seven
times he has been sent to the rescue
of wavering hurlera—a high compli
ment to be paid a southpaw.
Rube Benton. ex-Lookout. holds the
league record for wildness (with To
ney of the Cuba), with an average
Of-five and a quarter free passes per
game.
Stengle. late of Montgomery, is the
premier slugger, with 37 total bases
to his credit.
These figures tell you what the

day's rounds in the tournament for
the metropolitan amateur golf cham
pionship of Fox Hills, Staten Island.
Travers won his match in the
morning round of 18 holes from H.
H Kerr, of South Shore, Long Island,
but did not exhibit his usual deftness

the afternoon, most of the play being
during a severe rainstorm, he was

Conn., by five up and four to play.
Herreshoff’s defeat was accom
plished by M. Michael, of Youngtakah,
in the first round for the champion
ship eligibles. Travis succumbed
during the second round for the third

do himself justice owing to his having
wrenched his right knee two days ago,
and was one down to J. D. Lord, of
Brooklyn, of the home green. Oswald
Kirby, the New Jersey State cham

in the third round to-morrow morn
ing. and probably will meet Travers
in the semi-final later in the day.
Herreshoff Is Beaten.

—SAYS FRANK CHANCE
By Allen Sangree.
S T. LOUIS, May 23.—Frank Chance,
one time bora of the Cubs, now
manager of the New York High
landers, says this is the year an or
dinary ball club can win the pennant
In the National League. Mind you.
it was the league of sjvhich he was
formerly such a prominent part that
the P. L. was discussing.
A team of ordinary hitters, with or
dinary pitchers, with ordinary base
running and with ordinary thinking
should grab the pennant in the senior
major league organization, according
to the former Cub boss.
*‘I never saw such an upset in the
dope,” said Chance.
' What is the answer?” he was
asked.
"There isn’t any answer that T know
of,” was his reply. "Now, look at
the P|rates. There w r as the team that
looked to have a runaway race in the
National. It looked like a walkover
for Clarke and his men. They were
playing the best baseball in the league,
at the dose of the season. They had
the pitchers, the hitters, the fielders.
They seemed to have everything.
Can’t See the Phillies.
“Clarke had a smarter ball club
than McGraw. He seemed to have
better pitchers. He seemed to have a
better balanced team. The Pirates
seemed to he the class of the league.
Yet look where they are.
"The Giants haven’t been playing
the kind of ha."oba!l they played when
they won pennants. McGraw has n
team that should be beaten.”
“But the Phillies?” It was sug
gested.
”1 don’t figure them to win. They
will go along in great shape for a
while. Suddenly some fellow will be
injured. Then another will suffer an
accident. Then another, and pretty
soon a pitcher will blow. Before you
have realized it the team will be
down. It’s the hard luck team of the
league.
Thinks Cubs Have Chance.
"I believe those Phillies have scared
more people and have done les« rev
CHRISTY MATHEWSON'S
BIG LL
LEAGUE GOSSIP
N'
KW YORK. May -M.—During the past few (lays the Pirates have played miutp nearer
their natural form than heretofore this season. After helm; beaten all over the circuit,
the Pittsburg club came to New York amt gave us a stiff battle when we were looking
for something easy. They also gave the Dodgers a neat trimming.
Fans have been talking about the weak pitching of the Pirates. The twirlers may
have liecn off before this, bfit they certainly braced up against us. Adams. Hendrix. Robin
son and Cooper all looked good in New York, and the rest of the club played pretty fair
ball except in a couple of games. The team seems to be getting bad catching, the steady work of Hibson behind
the bat iteittg sadly missed. His absence also hurts the pitchers. He is laid up and will be out of the game for
some time. Poor throwing and bad judgment behind the bat put the team off its balance in a couple of the con
tests against us.
T'
HR Pirates will lie in the race,
aiid don’t make any mistake
about that. The dub is Just as good
as the one which came so strong at
the finish last year, and I predict that
once (ids leant gets going behind the
pitching it is bound to get, there will
lie very few clubs In the league which
will stop it. Personally, T am tickled
to death that Clarke's team has made
such a late start, because it is going
to do a whole lot of crowding at the
finish. Practically there an- only two
changes in the team over last year,
and these should strengthen it. Viox
is playing second base, and, although
it is his first season In the big league
as a regular, he looked better than
any of the several men who appeared
at that place last year. He is the
kind of a Dali player that helps any
team, aggressive and 'crabbing” all
the lime. When he first joined the
Pittsburg dub he was known as the
freshest busher ever to come up from
tlie minors, and he stilt retains his
fighting spirit. He also hits the ball
hard, and is a difficult man to pitch
to, refusing to offer at bad balls.
A
SIDE from all his natural accom
plishments, Wagner has taken
a personal shine to Viox. and this in
itself is a big help to any player who
joins the Pittsburg team. The Dutch
man will teach him a lot of baseball.
It ts customary for Wagner to take
up with some young fellow each sea
son and string along with him. and
the lucky recruit always benefits by
it. Last year it was “Tom" Hendrix,
and before that it was “Jack” Miller,
now playing first base.
But the real wonder of the Pirates
is Hans Wagner, who looks just the
same as he did when I broke into the
league, except that his hair is a little
grayer, because it wasn't gray at all
then. He looks just the same on the
ball field as far as his playing goes.
He is a wonder for his age, thirty-
nine. and is a grand example of what
taking care of himself has done for
him. He is hitting just as hard as
he ever did this season, if not harder,
and. the chances are all in favor of
him batting over .300 once more,
which he generally does witli great
consistency.
BRISTOL., R 1 . May 23 "Nat"
Herreshoff. designer an.l builder of the
succesful defenders of the American
.•up for the past twenty years, to-day
declined to enter a competition for the
design of the 1914 defender
damage than any ball club in the Nu
tional Id-ague."
"Who will win?" he was asked.
"1 don’t .know. If the Cubs had a
couple more pitchers and played
consistent baseball they would win
If the Pirates played the game of
which they are capable they would
win. If any team in the league got
consistent pitching that tvaa even
good, fairly good hitting and played
just ordinary baseball every day
that team would win.
"It isn’t a knock on the old leagup.
It's juet the peculiar condition which
prevails this year. It Isn't that the
teams aren't good, it's because they
are erratic."

CHARLEY EBBETS TO FILE
CHARGES AGAINST KLEM
BROOKLYN. N. Y., May 23.—Pres
ident Ebbets. of the Brooklyn club,
was so incensed over Umpire Klem’s
action in continuing the game with
Pittsburg yesterday in the heavy rain
that he announced he would file
charge?’ with the board of directors of
the National League.
The rain fell in torrents from the
second half of the third inning and
the field was in frightful condition.
The infielders could hardly keep- their
feet going after batted balls. The
pitchers could not control the wet ball
and only clever work by the pitchers
prevented wild pitches.

Nicholson, the famous yacht designer,
who will design the challenger Sham

America's cup in 1914. declared to
day that the new yacht will not be a

SEWANEE AND VANDERBILT
CLASH AT NASHVILLE
SEWANEE, TBNN., May 23.—The Se-
wanee Tigers play their last series of
baseball to-day and Saturday with Van
derbilt at Nashville. For the last few
weeks the Tigers have been playing good
ball. Captain Bordon shaking up the
line-up after they returned from the
long southern trip. McGoodwln, on first,
is now playing fine ball on the initial
sack, which was the weak spot of the
team
Captain Gbrdon will pitch the first
game against the Commodores, and he
ought to land the first victory, as he
has been pitching winnig ball all sea
son. Eggleston will be in the box in
the second contest.

8MUPTSINE CO., SAVANNAH. GA.
TV/TENSOR, ifi center field, is n new-
'-L comer, but he looks like a good
ball player. The ehances are that
“Artie” Hofman. the former Cub, will
play in the outfield regularly as soon
as he gets in shape. Just at present
his heart is bad, and he is afvaid of
over-exerting himself. Pittsburg will
come, and when they do they will
come very fast, because they have a
bunch of terrific hitters and plenty
good pitchers to stop the opposing
teams. It is going to be a hard little
combination to beat.
The Giants have also braced on the
past week, and McGraw is getting
hack closer each day to the lineup
that won him two pennants. We
came near losing a good ball player
last week when Shafer threatened to
go home, but, he changed his mind.
Many blamed Khaler for this, blit he
is only a hoy, and got the idea he
was needed home by his father. He
should not be censured for his ac
tion.

CALGARY. ALBERTA, May 23.—
Arthur Pelky and Luther McCarty
eased up to-day in their training.
McCarty spent most of the day on
horseback and in jawing Calgary
scribes for poking fun at his “cowboy”

and then rested. Both men are on
edge and look fit for a tough scrap.

FLYNN AND COFFEY CLASH
IN NEW YORK GO FRIDAY
NEW YORK, May 23.—“If James
Coffey, the Dublin giant, and Jim
Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, box to
form, as the fistic fans would say,
then the patrons of the hit, block and
step-away sport may depend on an
interesting ten-round bout at the
Garden Athletic Club to-night.
Both men are within the pale of
the first class brigade of heavyweight
boxers. Coffey is the climber and
Flynn one of those fighters who may
come back at any time, no matter how
many defeats he may have expe
rienced.
Both are aggresive boxers, and as
they are hitters the bout may termi
nate suddenly and in a manner that
the fans of this city enjoy—by a
knockout. Both are in perfect nhvsi-/
cal condition for a hard battle. The*
winner will be matched with Gunboat
Smith.
