him the chanre, Is going to be
the sensation of the Southern
League season." says an Old-Time
Fan (No. they never want their
names used but this one Is a genuine
wise guy)
"He Is going to be the Bartley, the
Maxwell end the Demaree of the 1913
season."
• • •
A ND It might happen Stranger
■ . things have. For instance, take
the historic case of Bill Bartley. Wil
liam was a grand looking pitcher
once—so good that even Connie Mack
Mked him and carted him around
awhile. He was a fine, big, handsome
blue-eyed, ladles’-day-hero sort of a
chap but be didn't have a lot of stuff,
it seemed.
Bill dropped back to the Eastern
League but he didn't show' a lpt there
and Charley Frank, who had owned
bis services before, grabbed him.
Frank gave, him a thorough trial
Snd then passed this verdict:
"All Bill Bartley has left Is his
looks.”
And then he sold him to BUI Smith,
Atlanta manager. That was In 1909,
whan Bill was putting up a great fight
for the pennant, but he was In some
thing the same tlx a? this year BUI
had everything but pitchers.
The league figured it a line Joke
, that rrank had played on BUI 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
feats came before Smith bought him
The rest came after the pennant was
cinched. While the battle was at Its
warmest he hardly lost a game. Not
even Johns and Fldher did more than
Part ley in ctnchlng the rag

C ONSIDER then the cate of Bert
Maxwell The tall Arkansas chap
got a big league trlaj 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. Ht stuck there
the rest of 1909, all of 1910 and part
of 1911. And all the while he was
gomg bad. Then he was handed to
Birmingham for a no rig.
Right then Maxwell] came to life.
No pitcher the league ha# ever known
showed more stuff. He was th<
reigning sensation. And so good did
he look that the Giants* bought him
for a stiff price. He showed but
little for McGraw and was turned
over to the International League,
where he has slnoe remained He
wasn't “good” for long, but while he
wa* he made a punk ball club look
great.
O • •
C OMING down to metre recent times
there Is the celebrated cake of A1
Demaree. He couldn’t show' anything
much for Chattanooga and the Crack
ers thought so little of him that af-
-ter they got him on a deal they didn’t
l trouble to have him report. Last
year Demaree went to Mobile. He
didn’t have a lot of team behind him.
but he set the league ablaze and
transformed the naturally weak GuUg
into a dangerous team.
* * •
N OTICE the similarity between
these case* and that of BUI Chap-
/pelle. Bill has been to the big
leagues He lias 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 ha«n’t
fitted into any of the teams he lias
been with lately.
■e 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 bemarked before, stran
ger things have happened.

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 1* 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 wkf formed by some sport-lov
ing citizens of Detroit and a site tor
the course wag eelerted out among
the Bloomfield Hills. A great deal of
money has been spent on the Unkn;
the course ha? been gradually worked
Into excellent shape and from a scenic
standpoint, few places excel It.
The course ran be conveniently

which runs through there hills from
Detroit on the Way to Pontiac, or
by an automoblta or carriage As
it happened , to .be my lucky day, I
went out to 'he course a few week*
ago In an automobile with Thomas
Neal. Joel StcnUard. Standish Backus
and Gilbert Waldo, who Is known as
"the man who beat Hilton.” The ride
was 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 hold elope upward and
we found ourselves among the hills,
and on every side were beautiful
houses with spacious lawns. At last,
through a little valley, 1 saw the club
house, gayly bedecked with flags, and
I heard irregularly across the hills
the strains of music. Then we turned
up a little driveway and found our
selves In 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 h vision to make glad the
heart of Htty golfer, and the wanderer
from Chicago, after doing full Justice
to * delicious luncheon, fairly Jumped
into hie golfing clothes and made ferr
the links'.
The first three holes were long and
a bit strenuous They were two wood
en shots and brassie 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 cra'shtng through fruit In au
tumn.
The seventh Is one of the best nat
ural holes 1 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 aide.
The good and daring driver plays to
carry unto 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 yet and. therefore, not
a green Is guarded nor Is a pulled or
sliced shot penalized. Another bad
feature Is the nearness of the holes
and the paralleling which permits
wide tee shotB to land unpenaliaed
on another course. It seems to me
j that there are too many blind holes,
j It might be a good idea to force, the
I player of a poor shot to make a
, blind one. but the good player should
have a fair chance to show his skill.
It w as interesting to look over the
1 Bloomfield Hills course and see that

thought 1 was back on Chicago Golf.

C INCINNATI, June 2.—The Giants are not beaten yet. 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 tight their way to the
top, as the team did back in 1911 when we Von the pennant In the eventual dash to the wire.*
“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 that, 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 tbe New
York team with which most
folks do not reckon when considering
th© 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-mortems in
(he clubhouse after me games you
would consider a blast of dynamite
to tie a nerve soother compared to
his conversation. He picks the games
apart and shows where they were
lost. He has done a lot of picking
lately, too.
What the Giants lack at present is
the old hitting punch in the pinches
which they ha'l carried for two years
and which had made them famous
and champions, too. The greatest
tonic tbe team could have at present
would tie four or five more victories,
and these wins are hound to come
right now. in my opinion. We move
along to St. Louis from here, where
we should encounter fairly easy trav
eling in spite of the fact that the Car
dinals gave us a tough argument in
New York. 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, aud Evers
has one top-notch man, Cheney, who
is showing signs of overwork at pres
ent. Lavender and Rich! eboth look
ed like fair jierformers 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 Richie both looked very
lied against the Giants when the Cubs
were in New York. Lavender lacking
any semblance of control. Richie, as
is well kuown. has always been most
effective when working against tbe
New York dub.
Evers' best chance to get a winning
ball club is to have Overall return to
his old form. He showed a flash of
that in a recent battle. With Overall
and Cheney in good condition, then
Evers could piece out the rest of his
pitching from Lavender. Richie and
Reulhaoh 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 internal 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 and he big
winners. Besides these two teams,
Brooklyn has been receiving good
pitching, and Boston gets occasional
outbursts of effective twirling. The
way tbe 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 let 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 I 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. I hare always had to work
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 watching them play
and lose three games out of four in
New York. Evers is a friend of mine,
and his success so long as 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
sothe 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, hut 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 he 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 well away from home
as they do on their own diamond, as
was shown by the fact that we out
played tile club in New York, while
they trimmed us handily in Phila
delphia.

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 battie 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.

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 player? have turned
the trick.
When th# pitching 1? 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.
