it TSiG Bill Chappelle, if they giv**
|j him the chance, is going to be
the sensation of the Southern
Teague Reason," says an Old-Time
P'an (No, they never wt*nt their
names used but this one is a genuine
w i*<* guy).
“He in going to be the Bartley, the
Maxwell and the Demane of the 1913
season."
• • •
\ ND it might happen. Stranger
things have. For instance, take
the historic caae of Bill Bartley. Wil
liam w.is a grand looking pitcher
once—so good that even Connie Mack
liked him and carted him around
awhile. He was a fine, big, handsome
blue-eyed, ladies'-day-hero sort of a
chap hut lie 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 passed this verdict:
•’All Bill Bartley lias left is his
looks."
And then he sold him to Bill Smith.
Atlanta manager. That was in 1909.
when BiU was putting up a great fight
for the pennant, but he was in some
thing the same fix a* 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.
Xobodv knows what hapj»ened hut
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 caine after the pennant was
cinched. While the battle was at its
warmest he hardly lost a game. Not
even Johns and Fisher did more than
Bartley !n cinching the rag.
* * •
C ONSIDER then the case of Bert
Maxwell. The 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 tum<Kl over to New Orleans,
where he did little. He stuck 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 song.
Right then Maxwell came to life.
No pitcher the league ha* ever known
showed more stuff He was tfi<
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 1/eague,
where he has since remained. He
wasn’t “good’' for long, but while be
was he made a punk ball club look
great.
• * ♦
C 'OMING down to more recent times
there is the celebrated case of AI
Demarce. He couldn’t show anything
much for Chattanooga and the Cr&ek
ers thought so little of him that af
ter they gal him on a deal they didn’t
trouble to have him report. l^ast
year Deinaree went to Mobile. He
didn’t have a lot of team behind him.
but he set the league ablaze anti
transformed the naturally weak Gulls
into a dangerous team.
* * •
^JOTlCE the similarity between
these eases and that of Bill Chap-
pelle. 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 stems ready to win a bunch
of them when he gets the right sup
port
Chappelle has the size and the
strength to he a great pitcher There
never was any question about his
“speed" and he has a lot of other
stuff besides. Rut somehow he hasn't
fitted into any of the teams he has
been with lately.
Rill 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, strati
ger things have happened.

OF GOLF COURSE
AMONG HILLS
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 Hills. De
troit itself is situated on a bit of
fiat 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 some 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;
tlie 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 these hills from
Detroit on the way to Pontiac, or
by an automobile or carriage. As
it happened to be my lucky day, l
went out to *he course a few weeks
ago in an automobile with Thomas
Neal. Joel Stbckurd, Standish Backus
and Gilbert Waldo, who is known as
“the man who beat Hilton.” The ride
was un especially pleasant one.
through tlie 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 &lope upward and
we found ourselves among the hills,
and on every side were beautiful
houses with spacious lawns. At last,
through a little valley. I saw the club
house, gayly bedecked with flags, and
1 heard irregularly across the hills
the strains of munio. 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 i« 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 brasste 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 Tlie 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 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 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 1 looked at the stakes
that mark suggested 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 anil the eighteenth
gives a long finishing hole direoHy
in front of the club house
Detroit has some excellent golfers
and in their company my day on the
beautiful Bloomfield links was a very
enjoyable one.

CHRISTY MATHEWSON'S
BIG LEAGUI GOSSIP
C INCINNATI, June 2. Tlie Giants are not beaten yet. You cannot beat a ball club like
the New 7 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 hack In 11)11 when we won 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 7 .
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
tlie 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^fbut 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 mortems in
the clubhouse after the games you
would consider a blast of dynamite
to Ik* a nerve soother compare^ to
bis conversation. He picks the games
apart ami 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 had carried for two years
and which had made them famous
and champions, too. The greatest
tonic the team could have at present
would In* 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
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.
• • •
r PHE Cubs are a good ball club out-
a side of their pitchers, and Evers
has one top-notch man, Cheney, who
is showing signs of overwork at pres
cut. Lavender and Rich! 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 Richie both looked very
had against the (Hants 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 York club.
Evers* best chance to get a winning
ball club is to have Overall return to
bis 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
Ueullmch exjierimenting with these
boys until one of them touched some
thing like winning form. The rest
of the club Is ns good both at the bat
and in the field as any team in the
league. The catching staff is with
out a jieer in the country. The team
is well, balanced, and works smooth
ly if Internal dissension can Ik*
avoided.
HI T the Cubs are up against three
U clubs which will develop great
pitching staffs in*fore the schedule is
played out, and 1 do not honestly fig
ure how they are going to compete
with this sort of high-class twirling.
Philadelphia lias 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 lie 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.

It. CHARLES W. Mi’RPHY 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 ou 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 lie said I would have to work
to win my own games from this point
along. 1 have 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 (lie 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 hall player, but he ran
into a hard situation in Chicago when
lie took hold of the team. )Ir. 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.
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. /
* • *
piTTSBURG is still a dangerous
J- club, and will come strong to
ward the end. as it did last season.
There is lots of tight in that team,
hut, like the Giants, the Pirates have
not been able to get goiug. 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.

DIES OF BASEBALL INJURY.
ANACORTES, WASH.. June 2.—
Parris Smith, an 18-year-old high
school student, who was nit 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
same game, suffered the loss of an
eye and may die.
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.

It is my notion that the Quakers|

not move as well away from home
as they do on their own diamond, as
was shown by the fact that we out

they trimmed us handily in Phila
