ONE BUSH Lacquer
0utfieIder Weiser Is Lone Per-
former Purchased by Charlie
Dooin's Boss.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. THE Phil
lies scouts have been busy this season
casting their critical eyes over the So
called stars in the minor leagues, but
only one player has been signed. It
was announced by the Quaker manage
ment that Harry Weiser, an outfielder
of the Charlotte club Of the North
Carolina League, had placed his sigma
ture to a Phillie contract.
Weiser is a big youngster. twenty-five
years old. and at present Is in his third
year in baseball. He is a right-hand
hitter and thrower, and not only covers
acres of ground in the outfeld. but is
also fast on the bases. He looks like a
natural hitter. and has quite a reputa-
ton as a sluGger in the Sunny South.
In the last eiShtY-nine games tho
youngster has had Ill safeties for a
total Of 100 bases. twelve of the drives
going for home runs. His speed on
the bases is shown by the fact that in
these eiehty-nine contests he has stolen
twenty eight sacks His batting aver
age so far this season is .33SS3
1t has not been decided definitely vet
whether Weiser will join the Phillies
this fall or next spring.

POTOMAC EIGHT
is OUT OF RACES

Because of inability to get its
eight into shape following
change in the system of Coach
ing which came in the middle
of the season, the Potomac Club
will not be represented in the
junior eight-oared race Of the
Middle States regatta at Bal
timore next Monday. The Po-
tomacs, however, will send a
junior double and an interme-
diate four-oared gig. Analos-
tan will send its junior eight
as per schedule.

There is such a thing, on any menu.
of too much pie, provided 1t is all alb
sorbed. Continuous baseball has at
least put a big crimp in Larry Doyle
and Fred Merkle, two of McGraw's
best people in his early pennant win
ming days of 1911.
The batting slump OF Doyle and Mer-
kle has hurt the Giant cause i'm
mensely. and we believe this slump is
almost directly due to their being
overbaseballed in late years There
are times when enough of a thing Is
too much-if not absolutely superflu-
Gus.
Doyle and Merkle
In 1911 Doyle and Merkle, both fine
athletic types. were Just swinging in
to their stride. Both have always
taken fine care Of themselves and have
been robust well above the average
combatant. In 1911 Doyle batted $40
and Merkle .2s5. In 1912 Doyle batted
$50 and Merkle .309. And both were
good long distance clouters
Too Much Territory.
But in 1913 their slump started. and in
1914 they hal dropped to .245 for Doyle
and .235 for Merkle. What's the an
swer? After the long. hard 1911 cam
paign. which lasted until October Is.
Doyle and MerkIe made the winter trip
to Cuba with the Gilnts. They re-
turned in time to start spring practice
at Marlin. In 1912 they had a brief
rest, but in 1913. at the close Of the
Season. they signed for another long
winter campaign that involved daily
a trip around the world. They landed
again In time TO start spring training
at Marlin.
So these two have had almost con
tinual baseball for three years. There
we're other Giants who went to Cuba
and others who went around the world,
but Doyle and Merkle are the only
regulars who took both trips.
Baseball IS a game that eats up n
tremendous amount OF nervous energy
The wear and tear through A season is
something terrific. requiring a long win
ter rest to establish tired mental and
musucal nerve cells.
Doyle has always been one Of the best
hitters in the game. Merkle has been
consistent batsman. Both are still
fairly young. and yet within year
their averages have slouRhed off over
sixty points. There has been a gradual
decline since 1912. II these two get
good long rest this winter they should
come back with the old-time wallup,
and II is merely human for them to
show the heavy strain they have been
under with their nervous forces worn
to such a fine edge through overtrain-
ing.
Not Up to Them.
The late Giant slump. however. can
not be charged to them. They may
have furnished their part of It, but thev
have had n number Of husky aids.

The MaCkmen have proven themselves
10 be one of the greatest machines of all
time-if not the greatest. But by their
very super excellence they have crippled
their own league and cost their circuit
thousands of dollars. It's queer game.
You can't afford to be too bad. and. on
the other hand. you can't afford TO be
too good. If the Mackmen had crumpled
up as the Giants did. and thereby put
courage into other clubs, the American
League race might have been even more
sensational than the National. But as
things stand. there is about as much

Vigorous Sermon at Baptist Church
On Bstfernent Of City and County
Dr. A. Ivey delivered Straightforward the duty Of church
members and citizens in dealing with blind tigers ard
other sins prevalent here.

Itions Of the prohibition law in the
city and county a menace to the
church and to the people, but he
named other sins, such as negligence
Fin. attending Sunday School and
church and lukewarmness among
members, as matters that were con-
trlbuting great handicap to the
advancement of Christ's cause here
Those who heard DR.. Ivey were
deeply impressed by the earnestness
with which he considered these
g eat evils. There was no installing
his sentiment in the matter. No
such clear-cut, manly and straight
forward declaration in behalf of law
and order has been made from the
local pulpit in many years, accord
ing to those who heard the sermon.
The Journal wishes to commend DR.
Ivey in the highest terms for his
stand in behalf Of law and order
here. We have never had the slight
est idea that lie would do other
than respond nobly and promptly
to this good cause. result Of the
services Sunday should lie felt in
the city and county for years 20
come, if tile suggestions made are
carried out by the church.
