"Nat" Herreshoff, designer and builder of the sueceeful defenders of the American .•up for the past twent> years, to-das declined to enter a competition for the design of the 1914 defender By Allen Saagree. S T. LOUIS, May 23.- Frank Chance, one time hoes of the Cubs, now manager of the New York High landers, says this Is the year an or dinary hall dub 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 team of ordinary hitters, with or dinary pitchers, with ordinary has*- running and with ordinary thinking should grab the pennant In the senior major league organization, according to the former Cbb boss*. "1 novel - saw such an upset in the dope," said Chance. “What is the answer?" he wa* 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 baueball 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. "Ciarke had a smarter hall club than McGravv. He seemed to hav better pitchers. Ho seemed to have better balanced team. The Pirate seemed to be the class of the leagu< Yet look where they are. "The Giants haven't been playing the kind of baueball they played when they won pennants. McGravv has n team that should he beaten." Hut the Phillies?" it was sug gested. "I don’t figure them to win. They will go along In great shape for n while. Suddenly some fellow will be injured. Then another will auffer an accident. Then another, and pretty soon a pitcher will blow. Before you have realized it the team will lie down. It's the hard luck team of tb«‘ league Think* Cubs Have Chanca. "I believe those Phillies have scared more people and have done less reni 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 are capable they would win If any team in the league got consistent pitching that was even good, fairly good hitting and played just ordinary baseball every day that team would win. "It isn't a knock on the old league. It's Juft 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-ROUND BOUT, KENOSHA. WIS., May 23 - Matty McCue and Abe Attell havp signed j for a ton-round bout hero. Thr match ’ hinsroa on MoOue's winning from Pat sy Hranniitan in Milwaukee next ‘ Monday evening The tentative date | for the Met ’up-Attell mitt is June 3. ■ lOW YOIIK, May 23.—During the past few days the Pirates have pi a.veil much nearer llieir natural form than heretofore this season. After being ltenten all over the <’1*01111. \ the Pittsburg club came to New York and gave us a stiff Aiiftle when we were looking ' for something easy. They also gave the Dodgers a neat trimming. Fans have been talking about the weak pitching of tile Pirates. The twirlers may have lieen off before this, but they eertainly braced up against ns. Adams, Hendrix, Robin son and Cooper all looked good in New York, nnd 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 Gibson behind the tmt Isdng sadly missed. Ills absence also hurts the pitchers. He is laid up and will lie out of the game for some time. Poor throwing and laid judgment behind the bat put the team off its balance in a couple of the con tests against us. rrliH Pirates A and don’t will be in the race, make any mistake a hint that. The eiub i« Just ns good as the one which came so strong at the finish last year, and I.predict that once tin’s team gets going behind the pitching it is bound to get. there will tie very few clubs in the league which will stop it. Personally, I 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 are only two changes in the team over last year, and these should strengthen it. Viox is playing second base. ami. 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 ball player that helps any team, aggressive and "crabbing" all the time. When lie first joined the Pittsburg club he was known as the freshest Imsher ever to come up from the minors, and he still retains his lighting 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 imrsonsl shine to View, 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. Past year it was "Tom" Hendrix, nnd lK>fore that it was “Jack” Miller, now playing first base. Rut 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 alt 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, nnd the chances are all in favor of him batting over ..‘iOO once more, which he generally does with great consistency. M ENKOR, in center field, is a new comer. but he looks like a good ball player. The chances are that “Arrle" Hofman. the former Cub, will play in the outfield regularly as soon as ho gets in shape. Just ai present his heart is bad. and lie is afraid of over-exerting himself. Pittsburg will come, and when they do they will come very fast. Iteciiuse they have a bunch of terrific hitters and plenty good pitchers to stop the opposing teams. It is going to la* a hard little combination to beat. Tlie Giants have also braced on the past week, and McGraw is getting back 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 Shafer for tins, hut lie is only a boy, and got the idea lie was needed home l>y his father. He should not lie censured for his ac tion.

McCarty spent most of the day on horseback and in jawing Calgary scribes for poking fun at his “cowboy" outfit. Pelky went for a long walk and then rested.

SUPERIOR, WIC., May 23.—George McGurn, scout for the Chicago Cubs, after watching a Northern League game here made an offer for Rube Sehauer, Superior pitcher. The offer is being considered. FLYNN AND COFFEY CLASH IN NEW YORK GO FRIDAY NEW YORK, May 28.—"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 aggreslve 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 Smith. Nearly everybody in Atlanta reads The Sunday American.

Y„ May 23.—Pres- ldent 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 i h<’ National League. , The min 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.
