The Pelicans, not such a rank team
Individually, seem to perform with
about as alight effectiveness this year
as ever in the world’s history. They
are absolutely, abjectly, almost hop -

If the Cracker* play up to their

On Thursday the Montgomery club
opens for four games in three days.
On Friday, which is Federal Decora

Th»* Montgomery club doe* not ap

strength and ought to furnish no very
vicious opposition.
Surely with any luck at all tlm
Crackers should win five out of the
seven games slated.

PUBLICITY.
“Thitu Mho It hot speak.'* I he miiffnah
said, "to members of the press:
And if thou hast a tale to tell, just
let tin lowbrou'H guess."
The magnate bought himself a drink,
anil further more he spoke:
"If it were not for baseball games,
the papers irould go broke.
If it mie not for baseball games, tin
gents who journey by
Would look upon the news stands
with a eoId and careless eye.
The crowds would never think to
buy the extras on tin street.
He baseball magnates help to keep
the papers on their feet."
When snow is on the baseball yard
and baseball games are nil
Tin baseball scribes are grinding
dope and drawing shekels still.
And if the scribes would shun the
yards where baseball games are
played.
Said baseball magnates tin n would
have to seek an honest trade.

Mr. Mnrphey of the Cubs denies the
report that he has forbidden his ath
letes to speak to baseball scribes. Get
t«ny 1° bad and proving an alibi keeps
Mr. Murphy busy approximately 24
hours p«r diem.
When a magnate forbids his athletes
to associate with newspaper men. there
is not likely to be any frenzied pro
test among said newspaper men.
Mr. Stovall has been fined, but If Mr.
Ferguson had his way, Mr. Stovall
would he sentenced to chew a sponge
Instead of a chunk of tobacco.
Pugilism and baseball both are af
flicted with a malignant case of Too
Much Johnson.

attention to sport affects the mlnu.
Edmonton, which is in British Colum
bia, offers $25,000 for a conflict between
Messrs. Ritchie and Welsh. All of which
goes to show what an intoxicating cli
mate there is In Edmonton.
Some time, when we have about 1.000
years to spare, we shall attempt to
write a book on what Jess Willard do*s
not know about fighting.
Quoth a boxing scribe: “In the first
round Anderson fractured one of Man-
dot’s ribs, making Joe’s famous left
useless." It must be comforting to fight
a man when you know he cannot nit

Reading a number of Horace Fogel s
baseball magazine, one is convinced that
he was more bulled against than bull
ing.
A scientist tells us that 75 per cent
of all human energy Is wasted. Jess Wil
lard’s press agent beat that average by
approximately 25 per cent.
CHRISTY MATHEWS
BIG LEAGUl GOSSIP
B OSTON. May 20.—Within the last week two pitching staffs which wtfi-c counted upon to
swing into line at the beginning of the season have shown the form expected of them.
The staffs belong to the Giants and Pirates, and from this point alone I predict that the
race will settle down to a battle between the New York and Pittsburg clubs. They possess the
two best hatches of pitchers in the league now. with the possible exception of Philadelphia.
Both Tesreau and .Marquard have attained their last season's form for New York, and
Hendrix and Oamnitz have resumed operations for the Pirates. Both teams have the natural
strength to win ball games behind good pitching, which neither the Philadelphia nor the Brooklyn clubs, now lead
ing the league, possess. That is the reason I figure out that the Giants and Pirates will finally battle for the title.
The Cubs, who made such a brave showing at the beginning of the season, have faded very badly on this Eastern
trip because of the crumbling of their pitching staff. Following this string of defeats, the dissension, which was
anticipated, lias developed in the club.

Evers Is up uKalust it hard proposl
I tlou in Chicago now.
So lotik' its the Cubs were near the
I top. everything was rosy for him, ns
| II is for any manager with a winning
ball club. The fans were liehlml him.
But now that the team has started to
lose, the followers of the game are
Utgiunlng to criticise Murphy for let
ting t'linnee go. They were prepared
to do that :tt the opening of the race,
but the unexpected winning streak
of the club prevented the knockers
from getting In their tine work.
'I'UK Cults at present are playing
below their normal speed, as
they were traveling above it at the
beginning of the schedule. They will
pick tip some, hut I never expect to
see them out in front leading the
league race again this season. They
have shot their bolt. They have not
till' pitchers to stand the going which
will lie furnished by the Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and New York clubs from
now on.
The Quakers are still attracting at
tention in the front, although 1 re
garded the club as a flash (n the pan
for a long time, and was surprised to
see It hold up the pace for such a
protracted period. I am now begin
ning to be convinced that the team
has a chance to stick tn the fight for
the Hag with the Giants and Pirates,
which teams are hound to make the
quarreling toward the end of the
schedule.
What has surprised most close fol
lowers of baseball Is the fact that
the Philadelphia club Is represented
by practically the same men whose
nnm< • up)mured In Ihe box scores last
season, and therefore Its start was
not considered to lie serious. There
have tieen two angles from which the
team has greatly Improved. One is
Ihe pitching staff which has always
pnssessed the latent strength, and the
other is the speed, pepper and ag
gressiveness added to the club ttiHt
can be attributed to the new condi
tions in the management. The Phila- itself on the bases, and the players
n»- « are running the sacks with the best
teams In the league, taking all kinds
of chances and frequently upsetting
their opponents by these tactics. The
pitching staff at present is one of the
three strongest In the league. It Is
hard to say which one will show up
to be the best finally', as time alone
can tell that—time and a couple of
long, hard swings around the West
ern circuit away from home grounds
and sympathetic crowds. The Phila
delphia club may go through a sea
son such as tvas greatly enjoyed by
the Boston Americans last year w hen
they buzzed out, the schedule to a
pennant with hardly an Injury.
delphla team has a lot of fighters In
the game who are always “crabbing,”
and several of the players are very-
fast. Dooin, now that he is no longer
bothered by Horace Fogel, can inject
a little of his own ginger into the
club and Instill the players with bis
own fighting spirit.
• • *
yr-NABK, the second baseman, is a
great fighter, never giving up
any point without an argument, and
ltoolan Is another bur under the sad
dle-flap to the umpires. He is also
a very nifty shortstop, perhaps more
highly regarded by ball players than
by spectators. He covers acres of
ground, and Is fast on his feet. He
Is also a very regular pinch-hitter,
as I have had reason to realize from
some personal experience. Loliert 1ms
added strength to the team this sea
son, because he is a vicious batter and
Is another “crabber.” The Infield of
the Phillies right now is a strong one.
The outfield Is likewise formidable
with Magee. Paskert and I ravath
covering the territory.
Paskert is one of tlie best territory
covering outfielders in the league, and
Is sure on Gy und ground balls. He
1r not the hardest hitter In the world,
but he is a good base runner, once
he does get on the bags. Magee’s bat
ting ability is beyond question. He
will break up a ball game for you
any time If you give him half a
cliauce. He can hit a ball as hard as
any man in the league, and. what is
more, he does this with amazing fre
quency. He is what is known in
baseball as “a free-swinger,” and
there are few men playing the game
who can take a long wallop at the
ball and connect.
The added dash lo the team shows
rT'HE lack of experienced substitutes
-*■ is Dooln’s big weakness. If a
couple of his regulars get bunged up
and out of the game, lie won’t have
anybody who cun properly fill their
places. It was this shortage of good
substitute material which caused the
club to collapse so badly- last season.
But should the team hold together as
it stands to-day. it is going to make it
interesting for any aggregation that
is in the fight for the pennant. Par
ticularly will it he hard to overtake
the Philadelphia team if luck pur
sues it persistently, as it sometimes
does a club after it has deserted it
entirely for a couple of seasons. The
Quakers, it must lie remembered, are
getting out farther ahead all the time
and will have a chance to drop back.
All that the Giants and Pittsburg
teams can work at for the present
is catching up, and if somebody does
not stop the Phillies soon, they will
both have a man’s-sized job on their
hands to complete before September.
