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.

May 23 Successful playing on the part of the na tional champion, Jerome D. Travers, the elimination of Walter J. Travis from the third division of players and defeat of P’red Herreshoff, who won the Oakland tournament a week ago. were features in yester 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 at any stage of the game, while in the afternoon, most of the play being during a severe rainstorm, he was almost at the top of his game and defeated D. J. Graham, of Greenwich. 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 division. The veteran was unable to 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 pion, is expected to win his match in the third round to-morrow morn ing. and probably will meet Travers in the semi-final later in the day. Herreshoff Is Beaten. Travers won hisTnatoh from H. K. Kerr, of South Shore. 3 up and 2 to play. The surprise of the morning round was the defeat of Fred Herre shoff. of Garden City, by M. M.

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." MATTY M'CUE AND ATTELL SIGN FOR 10-R0UND BOUT KENOSHA, W1S., May 23.—Matty j [ McCue and Abe Attell have signed j for a ten-round bout here. The match • (■ hinges on McCue's winning from Pat - . sy Brannigan in Milwaukee next * \ Monday evening. The tentative date j I for the McCue-Attell mill is June ft.«j 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. SHAMROCK IV WILL NOT BE A "FREAK CRAFT" LONDON Mii' IS.

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. i V. c. TETTER Tettertnr cure* tetter. Read what Mrs. Mt-Quiddy. Estill Springs.

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.

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. Nearly everybody in Atlanta reads The Sunday American.
