Society turned out in force to witness
the first intercity baseball game between
the Chevy Chase Club and the Philadel-
phia Racquet Club, which was played
la: Chevy Chase yesterday afternoon.
President Taft, with Gen. Clarence Ed
wards and Mai. Butt, intended to play
Gclf, but when they heard a ball game
was to oe played. which necessitated the
closing of the eighteenth hole. they
went over to the Columbia golf course,
and spent an enjoyable afternoon.
Weather conditions were ideal, and the
large crowd was seated under the trees
near the eighteenth hole of the golf
course. ')ne could readily see that it was
2 gathering that knew something about
the national game, for when good plays
were made they fGed tie air with many
rounds Of applause.
Uncle joe Cannon was among the
prominent persons present, as well as

and many other well-known members of
the club.
Philadelphia won the game by the
score of 16 to II. 1t was an unusually
interesting game. only four errors being
marked against the visitors and seven
by the Chevy Chase team.
The local team used three pitchers,
but were unable to hold their opponents
in check. In the second inning Phila-
delphia scored four runs on FIVE hits, and
in the eighth six more runs on five hits.
Three home runs by the Chevy Chase
team featured the contest. In the fifth
round "Peachy"' Spencer landed on the
ball for the first homer. Brooke flied
out to Smith. and Myron Parker con-

LAST YEARS BALL BETTER BOUNCER
Experiments Which Complicate the Problem of the
So-called Lively Sphere

There has been much controversy
among baseball players and baseball
fans this season regarding the ball now
IN: use in the major leagues, the dis
putants lining up on the question whether
the ball now in use is or is not livelier
than the one used last season.
Many claim that the high batting
averages of some. Of the players at the
present time are due to the livelier ball.
while others claim that they are due to
the inefr ectiveness of pitchers, and that
the ball IS no livelier than the one used
last season.
OF course, II the manufacturers will
not settle the doubt 1t would be neces-
sary to subject the balls to scientific
tests and examination in order to def
nitely determine the facts. and even then
balls which were supposed to be iden-
tfcal In make might show a difference
IN resiiiency, because !. probably is not
possible to make any two Of them ex-
actly alike.
Some tests were made yesterday with
two, balls, one of them issued for use
in the American League late last sea-
son and one that was issued for the sea-
son of 1911. These were dropped from a
height of fifteen feet, simultaneously.
They struck concrete floor at as nearly
the same instant as they could be made
to do. and they were photographed at
the moment they had reached the ex-
trene height Of the rebound. The photo
graph is presented herewith.
II was found that the ball issued for
last season bounded higher than the
enc issued for this season, the differ
ence in height being clearly shown In
the photograph.
Several other tests were made, and
Invariably the 1910 ball proved TO be the
liveiier. These tests with only two balls
are. OF course. absolutely decisive OF
nothing as regards the general propo-
sition. but they show clearly enough
that the ball that was issued IN 1910
certainly was. in this particular case.

ticeable when Barry was in the game was
well-nigh lacking when the Athletics
were here. In a close series the loss
would have been more noticeable than II
was here, when the Mackmen were going
fast, while the Nationals were in a rut.
The crucial games of the season were
probably played in Philadelphia this
week between the Tigers and the Ath-
letics, and probably the most significant
one was that twirled successfully by Bill
Donovan. who routed the Mackmen with
out much effort. II that game is an indi-
cation of his condition, Donovan will be
one OF the main factors in the Tigers
winning the pennant and incidentally the
worlds championship, for from this point
of view the contenders in the American
League look much stronger than their
rivals in the other major organization.
The next few weeks will show the true
state of affairs, but II a guess is permis-
sible. it looks now as II some of the
worlds series games will be played in the

The Nationals have just finished an
other disastrous home week, winning
only two games out OF six played, and
the long expected brace, winning streak,
&c, Is not apparent.
It's the pitchers-only two decent games
were twirled last week, those by Dixie
Walker and Walter johnson, both against
Cleveland. and unless the other boxmen
soon round into shape victories are going
to be about as scarce as offers OF mar
riage to an old maid.
During the present week the last Of the
Western clubs will have been tackled.
Chicago Is here tomorrow and Tuesday,
while the remaining four days ST. Louis,
the tailender, will be the attraction. At
ter that the Nationals go away to play
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.
DOC" Gessler's hitting, the consistent
work OF Milan, and the apparent return
to old-time form Of Walter Johnson and
Dixie Walker ushered this quartet into
the limelight last week.
Clarence Walkers meteoric entrance
into fast company proved a added fea-
ture yesterday. II the youngster con-
tinues to hit, he can be taught the other
necessary requirements of a big Lacquer.
1t is hoped that his batting continues.
Manager McAleer realizes just as much
as do the fans how badly the club is
going. and has ordered Scout Mike Kahoe
to buy any promising ball players he can
get, and to pay as much as anybody
for new talent. Kahoe is not restricted
to outfielders and first basemen, and
youngsters of any kind will do
Further than this, the club owners will
back up McAleer, and the necessary
funds will be forthcoming.
This shows a disposition on the part
OF manager and management to get a
winning team together and the fans are
asked to be patient and forbearing Just
little longer.
Charley Hickman, the old big league
fence breaker, and one of the cleapest
fellows that ever entered professional
sport, is hitting 1854 for Toledo in the
American Association. If Charley had
good pair of legs he would be more useful
than about half the outf1elders now in
the majors.

ness men of the city by w. E. Gullett,

meet with much approval.
Philadelphia fans are sore at Connie
Mack for letting Joe Jackson go to the
Maps. The fact that Bris Lord is hitting
above 800 Is the only thing that keeps
them from being real sore.
Athletic fans are pulling for Jackson
to beat Ty Cobb in batting this season.
