him the chance. 1s going to he
the sensation of the Southern
Teague season,” says an Old-Time
Fan (No, they neve# want their
names used but this one is a genuine
wlss guy).
*'He is going to be the Bartley, the
Maxwell and the Demar* e of the 1913
reason”
* • •
AND It. might happen. Stranger
-” things have. For Instance, take
the historic ease of Bill Bartley. Wil
liam was a grand looking pitcher
once—bo good that even Connie Mack
lilted him and carted him around^
awhile. He was a fine, big, handsome
blue-eyed, ladies'-day-hero sort of a
chap but he didn't have a lot of stuff,
it seemed.
Bill dropped back to the Eastern
League but he didn't show a lot there
and Charley Frank, who had owned
his services before, grabbed him.
Frank gave him a thorough trial
and then paseed this verdict:
"All Bill Bartley has left Is his
looks.”
And then he sold him to BUI Smith.
Atlanta manager. That was In 1909,
when Bill was putting up a great fight
for the pennant, but he was In some
thing the same fix as this year Bill
had everything but pitchers.
The league figured It a fine Joke
that Frank had played on Bill Smith.
They chuckled over It mightily.
Nobody knows what happened but
Bartley came to life the day he hit
Atlanta. With good support he
couldn't lose a game. For the whole
season he piled up a mark of 19 won
and 11 lost But several of his de
feat* came before Smith bought Tilm.
The rest came after the pennant was
cinched. While the battle was at Its
wannest he hardly lost a game Not
even Johns and Fisher did more, than
Bartley In cinching the rag
• • •
/CONSIDER then the case of Bert
V' Maxwell. Tne tall Arkansas chap
got a big league trial and was turn
ed back to the Southern where he
was kicked around like a second
hand football. Atlanta had him In
1909 but he couldn't make it here and
was turned over to New Orleans,
where he did little. He stack there
the rest of 1909, all of 1910 and part
of 1911. And all the while he was
going bad. Then he was handed to
Birmingham for a eonR.
Right than Maxwell came to life.
Ko pitcher the league has ever known
Showed more stuff He was tin
reigning sensation. And so good did
he look that the Giants bought him
for a stiff price. He showed but
little for McGr&w and was turned
lover to the International League,
where he has since remained He
wasn't "good" for long, but while he
wae he made a punk ball club look
J treat . . .
C OMING down to morp recent times
there is the celebrated case of A1
Demarne. He couldn’t show anything
much for Chattanooga and the Crack
*rs thought so little of him that af
ter they got him on a deni they didn’t
trouble to have him report. Last
Near Demaree went to Mobile. He
didn’t have a lot of team behind him.
but he set the league ablaze and
transformed the naturaJly weak GuH*
into a dangerous team.
• • •
■^OTICE the similarity between
' these cases and that of Bill Chap-
Jwlle. Bill has been to the big
leagues He has looked good but per
formed indifferently for several clubs
- of the league. He Is shifted to At
lanta when the team Is In distress.
True, Chappelle hasn't set the
" league to smoldering yet. but he hasn't
pitched a bad game for the Crackers,
and he seems ready to win a bunch
"of them when he gets the right sup-
* port.
*' Chappelle has the size and the
strength to be a great pitcher There
never was any question about his
"speed” and he has a lot of other
"’ stuff besides. But somehow he hasn't
fitted Into any of the teams he has
been with lately.
Bill Smith and his players believe
* that Chappelle Is sure to be one of
’ the sensations of the season.
Maybe so, maybe not. It' would
•'help a lot If he happened to get go-
- Ing right.
And, as was remarked before, stran
ger things have happened.

NER HONOR 1 \ / WHAT VWEfcE'
-IIS MAhJ UWttt U UCKJN&-
By “Chick” Evans.
A BOUT twenty miles north of the
city of Detroit, on the road be
tween Detroit and Pontiac, are
the beautiful Bloomfield Hill*. De
troit Itself Is situated on a bit of
flat land and for that reason these
hills come upon one in the nature of
a surprise. Two .years ago a golf
club was formed by qome sport-lov
ing citizens of Detroit and a site for
the course was selected out among
the Bloomfield Hills. A great deal of
money has been spent on the links;
the course has been gradually worked
Into excellent shape and from a scenic
standpoint, few places excel It.
The course can be conveniently
reached either by the Interurban,
which runs through there hills from
Detroit on the way to Pontiac, or
by an automobile ’ or carriage. As
It happened to be my lucky day, I
went out to the course a few weeks
ago In an automobile with Thomas
Neal, Joel Stockard. Standish Backus
and Gilbert Waldo, who Is known as
"the man who beat Hilton.” The ride
w-as an especially pleasant one,
through the residence part of the city,
then past large automobile factories
and finally a delightful run through
a little real country. Soon the road,
which I was told had been rising Im
perceptibly ever since we left the
city, made a bold Hope upward and
we found ourselves among the hills,
and on every side were beautiful
houses with s|>aclous lawns. At last,
through a little valley, I saw the club
house, gayly bedecked with flags, and
I heard irregularly across the hills
the strains of murlc. Then we turned
up a little driveway and found our
selves 1st full view of the golf club
on Its formal opening day.
Fine View From Club House,
The club house Is new and situated
on an eminence, and from every side
it commands beautiful views of hill
and valley and handsome residences.
It was a vision to make glad the
heart of any golfer, and the wanderer
from Chicago, after doing full justice
to a delicious luncheon, fairly jumped
Into his golfing clothes and made for
the links.
The first three holes were long and
a bit strenuous. They were two wood
en shots and brassle for me, and then
came a shorter hole. The third hole
presents an apple orchard as an un
usual carry from the tee Fancy driv
ing across that orchard pink with
bloom In the spring, or of sending a
ball crashing through fruit In au
tumn.
The seventh is one of the best nat
ural holes I ever saw. The tee Is set
In the woods and the drive is out
and through a widening avenue of
trees, and then there is a hill with a
plateau which covers the right hand
half and another a. little farther up
which covers the left-hand side.
The good and daring driver plays to
carry onto this plateau, but the player
who pulls too much runs off and the
one who cannot reach ends up In a
hollow. The next shot Is Just a vary
ing mashie chip
Links Not Yet Bunkered.
Of course the links are not trapped
or bunkered vet and, therefore, not
a green is guarded nor is a pulled or
sliced shot penalized. Another bad
feature is the neurness of the holes
and the paralleling which permits
wide tee shots to land unpenalized
on another course. It seems to me
that there are too many blind holes.
It might be a good Idea to force the
player of a poor shot to make a
blind one but the good player should
have a fair chance to show his skill.
It was interesting to look over the
Bloomfield Hills course and see that
H S Colt had been there. For a
moment, as I looked at the stakes
that mark s-uggested Improvements, I
thought I was back on Chicago Golf
At the seventh hole Mr. Colt advises
the digging away of the faces of two
hills to make hazards. The ninth Is
a difficult and pretty hole ending near
the club house and the eighteenth
gives a long finishing hole dlrectlv
in front of the club house
Detroit has some excellent golfers
and in their company mv day on the
I beaut-'ul Bloomfield links war a very

LEAGUE GOSSIP
C INCINNATI, June 2.—The Giants are not beaten .vet. You cannot beat a ball club like
the New York team In May. The recent defeats have awakened the players to the ne
cessity of hustling, and they are starting West determined to fight their way to the
top, as the team did back in 1911 when we won the pennant In the eventual dash to the tvire.
“What is Philadelphia going to do?” is the question that is stirring those interested In
baseball now.
The Quakers got a good start, and were in the race until July back in 1911, but they
began to slip after lhat, and finished entirely out of the running for first place. The Giants played a series with
the Quakers in the first part of July in that year, and they won four out of five games from us. The carping
critics declared that the Giants were gone after those battles, and began to recite our obituaries ( but the team
flashed through the West in a final sprint, inspired by the fighting spirit of McGraw, and won the pennant, al
though it was said broadcast that it
could not be done.
* * •
T HERE is one factor on the New
York team with which most
folks do not reckon when considering
the season's prospects. This is John
McGraw. No ball club in the world
can go through a season and not play
the game for him if he has to shake
it from the roots to the top. McGraw
admits and concedes that the Giants
are playing bad ball now, but he is
not letting it go at that. If you could
listen to some of his post-morteitfs in
the clubhouse after rhe games you
would consider a blast of dynamite
to he a nerve soother compared to
his conversation. He picks the games
apart and shows where they were
lost. He lias done a lot of picking
lately, too.
What the Giants lack at present is
the old hitting punch in the pinches
which they had carried for two years
and which had made them famous
and champions, too. The greatest
tonic the team could have at present
would be four or five more victories,
and these wins are bound to come
right now, in my opinion. We move
along to St. Louis from here, where
we should encounter fairly easy trav-
elnig in spite of the fact that the Car
dinals gave us a tough argument in
New fork. Their pitchers are not go
ing as well now as they were. From
St. Louis the Giants go to Chicago,
and that brings us to the discussion
of another team.
• • •
T HE Cubs are a good ball club out
side of their pitchers, and Evers
has one top-notch man, Cheney, who
is showing signs of overwork at pres
ent. Lavender and Kiehi eboth look
ed like fair performers last season,
but they have not been able to make
any impression on the National
League this spring. Perhaps it is
the weather. All pitchers blame the
weather when they are slow in start
ing. It is an inexhaustible alibi.
Lavender and Kiehie both looked very
bad against the Giants when the Cubs
were in New York, Lavender lacking
any semblance of control. Richie, as
is well known, has always been most
effective when working against the
New y York club.
Evers’ best chance to get a winning
hall club is to have Overall return to
his old fojm. He showed a flash of
that in a recent battle. With Overall
and Cheney in good condition, then
Evers could piece out the r£st of his
pitching from Lavender. Richie and
Reulbach experimenting with these
boys until one of them touched some
thing like winning form. The rest
of the club is as good both at the bat
and in the field as any team in the
league. The catching staff is with
out a peer in the country. The team
is well balanced, and works smooth
ly if interna] dissension can be
avoided.
B UT the Cubs are up against three
clubs which will develop great
pitching staffs before the schedule is
played out, and I do not honestly fig
ure how they are going to compete
with this sort of high-class twirling.
Philadelphia has already shown box-
men who have stood all the other
teams on their heads, and both New
York and Pittsburg have pitchers
who are bound to come find be big
winners. Besides these two teams,
Brooklyn has been receiving good
pitching, and Boston gets occasional
outbursts of effective twirling. The
way the Cubs crashed down through
the league when they were making
their recent tour of the East indicated
that they could not stand the doses
of pitching being administered by the
Eastern clubs.
• * •
M R. CHARLES W. MURPHY gave
out a recent statement, declar
ing that I had attacked the Cubs in
these articles because he had refused
to iet me insure the players on the
team on whom he had taken out poli
cies. That looks to me like a poor
alibi, but it is not my intention to
get into any controversy with Mr.
Murphy, because 1 need my wind for
pitching, since he spoke the truth
when he said I would have to work
to win my own games from this point
along. T have always had to w-ork
to win them. Also I know Mr. Mur
phy’s endurance record for long-dis
tance talking, and could not hope even
to tie him.
I gave what was an honest opinion
of the Cubs after w'atcblng them play
and lose three games out of four in
New York. Evers is a friend of mine
and his success so long its it did not
crowd the Giants would gratify me.
He is a game ball player, but he ran
into a hard situation in Chicago when
he took hold of the team. Mr. Mur
phy had made many enemies for the
Cubs by the way in which he treated
some of his old stars last fall. But
that is his business and not mine.
T
HE Phillies deserve some con
sideration right here, because
they are leading the league at pres
ent, no matter where they finish.
Dooin has a good ball club, but his
main strength lies in four star pitch
ers—Alexander, Rixey, Chalmers and
Seaton. This quartet is moving at
top speed now, but should any one
of them slow up for a minute or two
Dooin is going to have a difficult time
when he runs into the cluster of dou
ble headers that he will be forced to
face. By the addition of Fromme.
McGraw is well stocked with twirl-
ers for these double bills later along.
He has five competent performers.
It is my notion that the Quakers
will fall back on the road trip, al
though these may be merely the ob
servations of an optimist. They do
not move as wgjl away from home
as they do on their own diamond, as
was shown by the fact that we out
played the club in New York, while
they trimmed us handily in Phila
delphia.

Local fans should see some dandy mill
ing at the Auditorium-Armory June 13
Three 10-round bouts have been billed
for the fans, and every one of them
should be a corker. The Flynn-Savage
set-to needs no introduction The
Meyer Pries-Spider Britt go should be
one of those old-time grudge affairs,
while Mike Saul and Eddie Hanlon
ought to give the fans enough real mill
ing to last them for weeks.
Young Shugrue and Sam Robideau
were matched yesterday to box ten
rounds in Madison Square Garden, New
York, June 5.
B ROOKLYN has already started to
drop back toward us, and the
St. Louis club cannot hold up. Their
two star pitchers, Harmon and Sallee,
were both beaten last week and
these two have been keeping the team
in the race.
* * *
P ITTSBURG is still a dangerous
club, and will come strong to
ward the end, as it did last season.
There is lots of fight in that team,
but, like the Giants, the Pirates have
not been able to get going. They
have good pitching and good hitting,
and are bound to come. It is my
opinion that the battle will finally be
between the Giants and Pirates. It
is a long way to the finish, and both
of these teams have the best staying
qualities, to my mind.

ANACORTES, WASH.. June 2.—
Parris Smith, an 18-year-old high
school student, who was hit on the
head by a baseball while playing in
a match game here, died to-day in a
hospital. Milo Stock, aged 23. who
was struck by a pitched ball in the

B‘
OSTON, MASS., June 2.—Forget
ting the early season series be
tween the Boston Nationals and
the New York, Brooklyn and Phila
delphia teams as one would forget a
nightmare, it may be said that George
Stallings’ team has been going well
enough lately to suit the most rabid
partisan. His kid players have turned
the trick.
When the pitching is good, nine
times out of ten, the team behind the
pitching will play good ball, and it
will be gingered up so that It can
bat out the winning run.
The batting of the Boston team has
not been particularly brilliant. On
the contrary, it has been below' the
average, but it must be remembered
most of the men played in the minor
leagues last year, and It will take
time for them to get accustomed to
big league pitching.
