For instance:

times he has been sent to the react
of wavering hurlera—a high compli

Rube Benton, ex-Lookout, holds the

NAT HERRESHOFF WILL
NOT BUILD DEFENDER
IN NATIONAL
—SAYS FRANK CHANCE
By Alien Sangree.
S T LOUIS, May 23.—Frank Chance,
one time bovtj of the Cubs, now-
manager of the New York Hol
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 which he was
formerly such a prominent part that
the P L. was discussing.
A learn 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 bos?-*.
"I never saw such an upset in the
dope,” said Chance.
"What is the answer?” he was
asked.
"There isn’t any answer that I know
of.” was his reply. "Now. look at
the Pirates. There was 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 bane ball in the league
at the close 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 be the class of the leagpe.
Yet look where the\ v are.
"The Giants haven't been playing
the kind of ba>*eball they played when
they won pennants. McGraw has i
team that should be beaten.”
"But Hie Phillies?" it was sug
gested.
"I don’t figure them to win. They
will go along In great shape for a
while. Suddenly some fellow will b* 1
I injured. Then another will suffer an
| accident. Then another, and pretty
soon a pitcher w ill blow. Before you
have realized it the team will b?
j down It's the hard luck team of th •
1 league
Thinks Cubs Have Chance.
"I believe those Phillies have seared
more people and have done less* rent
damage than any ball club in the Na
tional League.’’
"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 ate capable they would
win. If any team In the league got
consistent pitching that was even
good, fairly good hitting and played
t just ordinary baseball every day
I that team would win.
} "it isn’t a knock on the old league.
It's juct the peculiar condition which
I prevails this year. It isn't that the
teams aren't good, it’s because they
are erratic.” »

CHRISTY MATHEWSOH'S
BIG LEAGUl GOSSIP
N EW YOHK, May -I Miring the I la St few days the I’irates have played much nearer
their natural form than heretofore this season. After being beaten all over the circuit,
the Pittsburg club came to New York and 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 lira tea. The twirlers may
have Iteen off before this, but 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
hall except in a couple of games. The team seems to he getting had catching, the steady work of Hibson behind
the hat being sadly missed. His absence also hurts the pitchers. He is laid up and will lie out of the game for
some time. Poor throwing and had judgment behind the hat put the team off its balance in a couple of the com

tests against us.
• * *
'J'HK Pirates will Is* in the race,
* ami don’t make any mistake
about that. The club is just as good
as the one which came so strong at
the finish last year, and I predict that
once this team gets going behind the
pitching it is bound to get. there will
1** very few clubs in the league which
will stop it. Personally, I atn tickled
to death that Clarke’s team has made
such a late start. In-cause it is going
to do a whole lot of crowding at the
finish. Practically there are 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 tin* several men who appeared
at that place last year. He is the
kind of a hall player that helps ahy
team, aggressive and “crabbing” all
the time. When he first joined the
Pittsburg club he was known as the
freshest bnsher ever to come up from
the minors, and he still retains his
fighting spirit. He also hits the ball
hard, and is a difficult man to pitch
to. refusing to otter at bad balls.
A
SIDE from all his natural accom-
CHARLEY EBBETS TO FILE
CHARGES AGAINST KLEM
BROOKLYN, N. Y.. May 23. Pres
ident Fbbets. of the Brooklyn club,
was s> incensed over I’mpire Klein’s
action in continuing the game with
Pittsburg yesterday in the heavy rain
that he announeed he would file
chargee with the hoard of directors of
the National League.
The rain fell in torrents fr6m the
second half of the third inning and
the fi d was in frightful condition.
The inflelders could hardly keep their
feet going after hatted balls-. The
pitchers could not control the wet bail
and only clever work by the pitchers
prevented wild pitches.
SHAMROCK IV WILL NOT

LONDON May 22.—Charles E

America’s cup in 1914. declared to
day that the new yacht will not be a
"freak craft.”
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 is 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 lief ore 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 lie did when I broke into the
league, except that his.hair is a little
grayer, I»ecatise it wasn’t gray at all
then. He looks just the same oil 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 hatting over .300 once more,
which he generally d»»es with great
consistency.
SEWANEE AND VANDERBILT
CLASH AT NASHVILLE
SEWANEE. TENN.. May 28.—The Se
tt a nee 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
hall. Captain Bordon shaking up the
line-up after they returned from the
long southern trip. McGopdwin. on first,
is now play ing fine ball on the initial
sack, which was the weak spot of the
team.
Captain Gordon will pitch the first
game against the Commodores, and he
< ught to land the first victory, as he
has been pitching winnig hall all sea
son. Eggleston will be in the box in
the second contest.
TV-/TENSOR, in center field, is a new-
J-' 1 comer, but he looks like a good
ball player. The chances are that
“Artie” Hofman. the former Cub. will
play in the outfield regularly as soon
as ife gets in shape. .lust at present
his heart is ba<l, and Tie is afraid of
over-exerting himself. Ilttsburg will
come, and when they do they will
come very fast, because they have a
hunett of terrific hitters and plenty
Kood pitchers to stop the opposing
teams. It is going to be a hard Little
combination to beat.
Ttie Giants have also braced on the
past week, and McGraw is getting
back closer each day to the lineup
that won him two pennants. \Ve
came near losing a good Da 11 player
last week when Shafer threatened to
go home, but lie changed his mind.
Many blamed Shafer for this, but lie
is only a boy, 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 physi
cal condition for a hard battle. The
winner will be matched with Gunboat
