TO RAISE WORLDS PENNANT.
Athletics Will Raise Championship
Emblem at Shibe Park Tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA. Juno 1.-The worlds
championship pennant, won by the. Ath-
letics last fall when tho American League
champions won from the Chicago Cubs
Of the National League, will be raised at
Shibe Park tomorrow. The flag raising
will take place prior to the regular
scheduled game with Cleveland.
There will be a concert by q band Of
100 pieces and other exercises to help
celebrate the event. The Cleveland club
was selected as the team to be honored
by appearing here against the Athletics
on Pennant day because Of the warm
friendship between the managements of
the two teams. t
This will be the first time q world 8
championship pennant has ever been
raised in this city. The Athletics partici-
pated In two worlds series, losing to the
New York Giants in 1905 and winning the
highest honor in base ball last season.
The pennant-raising will be fittingly cele-
brated, and 1t Is expected that great
crowd will be present.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

The retirement Of Cy Young. which
seems probable now that waivers have
been asked on him. has been predicted for
several years, but on each occasion the
veteran has come back and shown that
he could still deliver the goods. But 1t
is the first time in Young's career that
waivers have been asked on him. and II
would seem that the old fellow might
have been spared this humiliation, since
II seems certain that none Of the other
clubs In the majors will care to carry
him and he is not apt to go to the minors.
Cy Young has done much for base ball.
He has been one of the pillars OF the
sport for these many years. There never
was a time that he did not give his club
his very best services, and the occa-
sions when he has not been Of the great
est artistic benefit during the twenty
two seasons of his career have been Few
and far between indeed.
The American League owes much to
Young When he joined the ranks OF
tn enew organization he proved the en-
tering wedge for an influx Of players
from the old league. Players. magnates
and the public always had confidence IN
old Cy, and there is no doubt that much
of the success the American League at
lalncu TcSuitCu lIOih AoNA6 JoAAaAAo
ranks Of the new league. OF course, that
was years ago and under conditions quite
different from those existing today, and
such deeds are often forgotten in base
ball.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that the two
teams which are expected to battle Tor
the pennant this year. as they have In
most of the campaigns during the past
few years, have, with one exception. en-
tirely new faces on their inf1elds. Harry
Davis is the only man still playing who
was on the team i've years ago. Collins.
Harry, McIinnes and Baker are new
hands, as are Moriarty, Bush and Dele
hanty. Jennings infleld has undergone
many changes since he won his first pen
nant for Detroit, in 1907. O'Leary is the
only one OF the infielders who has been
with the team since then, and he is no
longer used as q regular. With the scar
city of ball players that exists. 1t seems
remarkable that these two teams should
have been able to virtually build up two
entirely new infields without losing
strength while doing SO. and both teams
are decidedly stronger now than they
were three or four years ago.
On its showing recently there was no
complaint to make Of the stickwork OF
the Nationals outfield. Milan. Lelivelt
and Gessler are holding their own with
the bat these days. and 1t was in this re-
spect that the team was believed weak
est early in the spring. AS q fielding out
At the local trio does not shine however.

decidedly effective against the Highland
ers this year. In New York he beat
Ford 1 to and yesterday he beat War
ers the locals have to face.
It will be Dixie Walker and LATTE
this afternoon. The game will be called
at o'clock.
There was a decided improvement in
the manner I'm which the Nationals ran
out hits and hustled through yesterday s
game. a fact which was most pleasing
TO the spectators. A ball team which
loses but hustles is sure to get more sym
pathy from the crowds than one which
displays lstlessness in its work. Ball
players should remember this, for 1t rot
only looks better to the crowd. but many
ball game is won by sheer hustling.
Bob Groom was responsible for the
first run the Nationals scored when he
led off with clean hit in the third. Mi
lan's out moved him to second and he
scored on Lelivelt's clean-cut hit.
The Highlanders took the lead in the
fourth. when Roach started with a hit
and Johnson was walked. Blair sacri-
feed; wild-pitched ball allowed Roach
to score and sent Johnson to third.
whence he scored on Warhop's long fly.
With rain threatening the Nationals
won the game in the fifth after two hands
were out. Milan and Conroy singled and
Johnson fumbled Lelivet's grounder.
Gessler's hit drove In two runs. With
the visitors at bat In the seventh the
game was called on account OF rain. The

MISS SUTTON AGAIN
Wins At HAVERFORO
Clever California Player Cap
lures Two Straight Sets
From Miss Green.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The third
round of the wemen's tennis tourney for
the championship Of the eastern states
ard Pennsylvania was played yesterday
afternoon on the courts of the Merton
cricket Club at Haverford. under rather
unfavorable conditions. The heavy rains
OF the last two days rendered the courts
hcavy and slippery and not at all con-
ducfve to fast tennis. but even with this
handicap several interesting games were
decided.
The most interesting play of the after
noon. easily one OF the features OF the
tourney. was the match between Miss
Florence Sutton of Los Angeles and Miss
Dorothy Green of Merton. II was gem
orally felt that this was the westerner's 8
first real chance to show her mettle and
that in Miss Green she would meet a
worthy opponent. a victory over whom
would unquestionably prove her worthy
OF championship honors.
Because of the remarkable ease with
which Miss Sutton won her earlier
real ability IL pitted against some OF the
Well known local stars, but Miss Sutton
at once demonstrated her mastery OF the
game and forever set at rest the doubts
OF her critics by decisively defeating Miss
Green an ,nquestionabIy strong player,
in two straight sets. 60 81.
Miss Green's playing was not at all up
to her usual standard. as she was err
ratio In her serving. in nearly every in
stance scoring a fault on her first delivery
and her returns. as q rule. lacked snap
and accuracy. her shorter strokes find
ing their way into the net, while many
OF her long drives passed over the serv.
ice line.
Miss Sutton's work was fast and con-
sistent throughout. She used a straight
fast ball on her serve, the placing oi
which she accomplished in mastery fash
ion. Her returns were brilliant. In many
cases the ball being driven at almost i'm
possible angles when taken but an inch
or so or the ground.

he plays right field well. but Lelivelt was

self as a manager this season. He has
undoubtedly surrounded himself with .
lot Of good. young ball players since he
took hold Of the Cardinals, and this year
that team is cutting a much wider swath
than any one anticipated. Bresnahan de-
hoe for several years. for the team which
was turned over to him was outclassed

Doc Reisling kind. for instance, would
not have a chance this year. ReisiinG
was one of those who relied on their sup
port most OF the time. He was generally
hit freely. but his cunning was in keep
ing the batter from Furnishing the ball
very hard. With the new ball in use
pitchers OF this kind would not have a
chance. It is the fellow now who pre-
vents the ball from being hit that pitches
