There have been two players who

took an average of 400 or better three
seasons running. The two who ac-

1873 and 1876; Burkett did It in 1895,

Doom of the Phillies Still Has Hope

- By ". 7 O'CONNOR

Or. LOUIS, No, Aug. S.-With the
season almost twO-thirds over, the
Phillies are still hopeful of winning
the National league pennant. It is sig
nificant, however, that the actual mem
bers of DoOin's tribe are the only per-
sons in the L. s a who do not concede
the flag TO the miniOns of McGraw-
we have nearly go games to play
before the curtain falls, and a lot OF
things can happen before those games
become history" declared manager
Doom. MY men are just getting out
Of their worst slump of the season and
I look for them TO regain the pace
which kept them in front at the start
Of the season. Our pitchers are on
edge again and think Alexander, Sea-
ton, Brennan, Rixey, Chalmers and
Hayer look as good as Matty, Mar
guard, Tesreau, FrOmme, Demaree and
Wiltse. Tesreau won't do McGraw
much good this season, and it's vir-
tually up to Matty and Marquard-
They're bound to have some bad days"
Phillies Lack the Spark.
It's only right that Doom should be
optimistic. However, he's overenthusi-
astic. His team doesn't play the gamg
like the Giants. The Pills must make
a brace of hits and have good pitching
day in and day out to win. They can't
sneak over a victory by strategic
moves because they have no strate-
gists on the team. They play a slam
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-08-08

bang hit-and-m sort of game, re-
lying entirely on the base wells. backed
up by solid pitching to bring home
the bacon.
McGraw has speed and his own
strategy to win the close games He'll
outguess the enemy on everything
that's close and with Matty pitching
and 8IcGTaw thinking, it's hard to
hoodwink the Giants. And each and
every member of DOOin's team viii
know this before many more moons.
President Britton of the Cardinals
has made the statement that seven

Ty had a batting slump early in
June and this pulled his average be-
low the 400 mark It was his ambi-
ton to bat 500 this year and for a
while he was betting the BAH above
that figure. There was a lingering
hope that Cobb would realize his am
bitiOn as he rarely hit well at the sea
son opening, never striking his true
stride until the middle of summer
With the early spring season seeing
him above 500 the dope based on past
performances argued well that he
should at least keep up that clip dur
ing the summer.
Ty says II was lucky for him that
he hit well early in the season because
his chance would now be slim had he
hit in April and May as he ordinarily
did However, he is not worrying. for
according to Cobb, a batter hits the
downward path as soon as he begins
worrying about his hitting.
He is also Of the opinion that pitch
ing in the American league this season
IS several point better than in years
past and that getting four hits out OF
every ten times up is a harder task
than in previous years
