CHARLEY DOOM
PICKS ALL STARS
Manager Of Philadelphia Nationals
Selects Men Who Are Capable
Of Playing on Great
est Team.
BEST IN TWO CIRCUITS
American and National Players Make
Up Club That Doom Says Can
Beat Jennings All-star
Team.

Seventeen players of the two big
league clubs have been selected by
Manager Charley Doom of the Phila-
delphia Nationals which he believes
will whip Hughie Jennings picked
team. Doom tells of his men and
why they will beat Jennings choice
in the following interesting way:
Pitching and batting are the chief
essentials in the national game. Team
work, inside play, speed, quick think
| ing and harmony are other important
things. In making an all-star team on
paper. team work, inside play and
how the men would hook up if put
on the same club must naturally be
1 eliminated. Speed and brain work,
however, may be estimated Aggres.
siyeness also count as big asset to
a team. This may also be estimated
in picking a mythical team.
Much depends on pitching and bat
ting. Speed is somewhat wiped out
when the players are taken from two
leagues. For instance, in a league
season, Cobb and Eddie Collins are
champion base stealers. In two
worlds series, King of the Nationa
league stopped Cobb on the bases. II
another world series, King ant
Archer failed to keep Collins from
stealing. When the star catchers o
one league might do to the best bas'
runners of another league is Target.

HILTON BEATS EVANS
IN GOLF FINALS
Both Play Poor Golf, but Evans Long
Game Was 80 Wretched
He Lost.

SHINNECOCK HILLS, N. Y, Sept.
I'll Harold H. Hilton, English anna
teur golf champion, and who holds the
American title, having won the honors
last Saturday from Fred Herreshoff,
defeated Charles Evans in the invita-
ton tournament at the National golf
links, 3 to 2. Both players showed
very poor form, especially Evans,
whose bad driving resulted in his de-
feat.
At one time on the homeward jour
ney of the morning Evans became two
down, drew level again and then, los
| ing the 18th, 18th and home holes,
ended the first 1S holes 3 down. A
tendency to pull his drives got Evans
into almost constant difficulty. The
Briton got around in Is, but two sew
ems on the homeward Journey carried
Evans totals to SO. The card:

Hilton won the first hole of the af-
ternoon play in to 5. That made the
champion 4 up. Evans, however, got
back holes, so that at the turn Hill
ton stood 2 up. Then the methodical
Briton slipped cog at the tenth and
eleventh and the match stood all even.
Evans took three puts and lost the
twelfth after Hilton had put down a
long one for 4. A stymie saved the
Chicagoan on the next green, but he
made hash of the next two, falling
short on his approach to the four

.Ienninas Has catchers.

Jennings, l think, has more ag-
gressive trio of catchers than any
bunch. In batting and all-round abili-
ty behind the bat, though, Gibson,
Thomas and Archer are hard to excel.
The infield which l have picked is
a harder hitting one than Jennings
Daubert should out-bat Chase, Lajoie
ranks higher than Eddie Collins in
the batting averages. Baker gets
more base hits and more long drives
than II. Lord, and there would be
little to choose between Bush and
Doolan, except that the American
Lacquer has something on Doolan in
the batting department Honus Wag-
ner outshines Tinker in smuggling, but
the latter has often proved his ability
as a man who can break up a game.
In fielding, barring first base, there
would be little or nothing to choose
between the teams.
