Cravath Sure Can Belt Homers
+•+ +•+ +•+ +•+
But Not Off Dodger Boxmen
IK Gnvvy Crnvnth. of the Phillies,
shatters the National lA*Ague rec
ord for home runs established by
Buck Freeman in 1R99, the Brooklyn
pitchers will not be to blame. They
have refused to allow Dooin ■ fence
breaker to once put the ball out of the
lot this season. The same can not
be said of any other set of National
League slabmen, for Gavvy has ob
tained four home runs in the jramen
with the Cardinals, three each In the
Carnes with the Pirates. the Giants,
the Reds and the Braves and two
In the frames with the Cuba, Thirteen
of his four-cushion blows were struck
at home, two In St. lyouls, one In Cin
cinnati. one in Boston and one in
Now York.
It was by httfinjc for the grand tout
that Cravath became a Phlllle regu
lar this season He was doing bench
duty for Dooin until Monday. Max 5.
The previous Saturday, acting as a
pinch hitter for Bill Kllllfer, Cravath.
had without hesitation and on th*'
first ball pitched lifted the serve of.
Christv Mathewson’s among the den
Irens of the left-field bleachers In
the regular line-up on the following j
Monday Cravath whaled another
homer and he has been contributing
them pretty regularly since
• • •
CRAVATH seems to be a patriotic
sort of batsman, for he got one
homer on Decoration Day and anoth* r
on the Fourth of July On Indepen
dence Day, Cravath was acting hr a
sub-swatter. On August 14 Cravath
got two four-baggers off Mordecai
Brown, of the Reds, in one game The |
Quaker swatsmlth hasn’t yet hit for
the full distance with all the base*
occupied, but he Is likely to do so
before the season ends though said
seaeon no longer is in Its infancy.
Eight of Cm vat h's four-bagger*
have been made when the cushions
were uninhabited, seven were torn oft
when one athlete was waiting to
score and three were manufactured
when .here were a pair of runners <»n
what is occasionally alluded to as the
tow path.
It is Interesting to note of Cra
vath’s ability to manufacture homers
and hit in the pinches that the New
York Giants during a fanfest the
other day thought that Cravath would
be the winner of the Chalmers car
offered for the National
most valuable player. It was th*'
Giants’ opinion that Joe Jackson
would get the American League
trophy.

MANAGERIAL OUTLOOK IN BIG LEAGUES SCRAMBLED

WHEN It comes to a matter of

gossip about the big leagues
hr about the little leagues And any
body can square off at the old type
w’nter and pester the same for n
column of bunk of purest ray serene
and get by without being sued for
libel to any extent.
Even when 1t comes to the mana
gerial situation.
Or (it might be stated) particu
larly when it comes to the manage

Everybody takes a crack at that
Here’s another.

CHICAGO scot 19 Charley
White, the local boxer, and Johnny

were matched to box ten rounds be

pounds ringside.
Matchmaker John Wagner made a
special trip to Chicago to close the
bout, w hich he believes will be a good
drawing card. Dundee Is in New
York, but his consent to the match
was secured by wire and he welcomed
the opportunity to get a second
chance at the local miller.
White gave Dundee a lacing in
Syracuse last year over the ten-round
route. Since that time the Easterner
has been seeking a return match, anti
the Racine promoter did not have
any trouble tn getting Johiyiy to

Dl'T while there is a good deal of
certainty about the certain man
agers. th* re is nothing at all certain
that the uncertain ones really are
uncertain.
For example, there is every reason
to believe that Frank Chance will
have the same job in 1914.
Chance confronted the most thank
less job that could be handed a base
ball organizer possibly excepting the
Browns and the Cardinale. He tore
the Yanks to pieces, and then he went
ahead and built up what looks from
this distance to he a regular ball chib
F. Leßoy will have the opportunity
to start that new machine next year,
or our guess is afield.

URBANA. TLIa., Sept 19.—George
Huff, big league scout for more than

Ids last summer on the trail of the

turned from his scouting trip for
J Cleveland, to find that the board of
trustees of the University of Illinois
wants him to terminate his associa
tion with organized baseball.
We will raise your salary if you

tion of the trustees, who suited the
action to the word by tenerding the
big coach a pay slip calling for $6,000
a year The idea is said to have been
agreeable to Director Huff.

league, and that Ban Johnson doesn't
care if Hugh gets what he wants.
It will be recalled that there was
some unpleasantness along about the
world's series of 1911, when Johnson
practically accused Jennings of tip
ping off some of the supposed weak
points of the Athletics to McGraw,
on account of the warm personal
friendship existing between the man
agers of the Tigers and the Giants,
old teammates in the days of the
famous Baltimore Orioles.
And another open secret is the fact
that Jennings would like to manage
Brooklyn—and might have been there
this season, only a l>etroit paper
printed a yarn to the effect that Jen
nings was about to be canned by
Navin, which seemed worthy of refu
tation.

AS to Carrigan, in spite of protesta
** lions from the Red Sox’s owner,
Bill is merely a filler-in to date. He
may hold over—and he may not.
And St. Louis?
But who is managing that club
now? Branch Rickey? Oh. very
well.
But the future is shrouded in gloom
and mystery.

C WITCHING to the National, we be
hold Mr. Evers with a firmer hold
on'the managerial reins than he has
enjoyed all season. Johnny has got
the whip-hand of the situation at
last, and he is making the Cubs per
form.
So long as Roger Bresnahan re
mains with the Cubs, so long will
rumors he rife as to his nosing out
of Evers. But that event looks far
less likely just now than it did a few
months ago.
Still, you never can tell what Mr.
Murphy will do.

TINKER and Huggins might hold
* a tournament for the consolation
prize, only there ought to be two
prizes.
It seems from the latest news that
Joseph will hold over. His threat
ened rupture with Herrmann xxas
patched up lately, and the pair ap
pear to be on good terms.
Huggins probably will be saddled
with the Cards again, though’what
he has done to deserve such a fate is
not known. Still, someone has to
manage them, and it might as well
be Huggins, xvho presumably is ac
quainted with their alleged character

THAT leaves Brooklyn un In the air. i

if given a fair chance.
Reverting to the Jennings rumors,
it seems Ebbets is ready to talk busi- .
ness with Hugh, and does not look
forward to parting with Dahlen with
any excessive anguish Dahlen had
a great chance this year, starting off
with a grand rush, but either because
he hadn't the club or the managerial
ability, the Dodgers slipped, down to
their wonted lorn' and place.
ALL of which reminds us of the
x * troublous query in oui own little
league:
Is Kid Elberfeld to manage the Pel- I
leans?
And (if so) wha< will Johnny Dobbs
do?
It even is said that Johnny Is to
get a major league berth—probably
with the St. Louis Browns—next
year.

WHAT'S THE USE?
"I’ray trll me hoic the Sor enme out,”
I asked a baseball bug.
He looked at me with scornful eye
And shrugged a scornful shrug,
And scornfully he bent his head;
"Host know who 4>itched the games”
he said.
“I did not ask who pitched the game,"
I answered unto him.
And gazed into his laughing eye
II Uh features dark and grim.
And scornfully he bent his head.
"Old Walter Johnson pitched" he
said.
Occasionally a team beats Walter
Johnson. It is also said that occa
sionally a man beats a loan shark.
Speaking of loan sharks and other
forms of manacles, the prisoner of
Chillon never had anything on the
man who signs a baseball contract.
The Sox and Giants will open their
