PHlLLIES WIN OUT
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
Much Credit Due to Manager
Moran and Pitcher Alexander.

10 Pat Moran and Grover Cleveland
Alexander belong the honor of landing
the National league pennant this year
for tho Philadelphia team, to Moran
Tor his gameness and rare Judgment in
crucial situations and to Alexander for
tho cunning he has displayed with his
right whip.
Moran's methods are the kind that
win. He took hold Of q tal-end team
at the beginning Of the season and by
tact and courage landed winner in
his first year as a manager. He is
known as a stern man on the field, and
when he has anything to say to a
player he does not indulge in any
Wheedling nonsense. He does not ride
his men; neither does he pet them
There is no manager in baseball more
serious-minded than Patrick John Mo.
ran. Moran knows as much about in
side baseball as any man living He
seldom, If ever, plays lunches, or
guesses that certain play is the right
one. His study and observation Of
what to him Is a serious business has
taught him what he firmly believes the
right thing to do in each situation that
arises in the course Of game. On
several occasions he has yanked twirl.
ers when 1T seemed foolhardy to do so,
and at other times he has allowed
pitchers to remain in the box when It
seemed certain that the opposition
would hit him all over the lot.
Put In Pinch Hitters.
He has put in pinch hitters when It
seemed foolish to the fans, and he
has sent supposedly weak hitters to
bat In regular turn when it seemed
foolhardy to do so. No manager in
modern baseball has handled a team
with such delicate judgment as Mo.
ran has handled the Phillies And the
Phillies have won.
No ono ever suspected Moran OF
having managerial ability. He secuted
sometimes, but as a general thing he
tried to educate young pitchers. He
has proved himself even more deserv
ing Of the title OF Miracle Man" than
George Stallings, because it was his
first job as a manager, while Stallings
Is man Of experience.
Moran was born February T, 1876
at Fitchburg, Mass. He was signed
by the Lyons club OF the New York

Importance of Alexander.
The next man OF Importance on the
Philadelphia team after Moran is Gro.
yer Cleveland Alexander, the "Nebras-
ka Wonder" His record this year is
far ahead OF that Of any other pitcher
IN the National league. He has been
a prime factor in keeping the team on
top. During tho recent Philadelphia
ST. Louis series Umpire Bill Klein, in
speaking OF Alexander, said
There's one player in our league
who could win the pennant for any of
the seven teams who are out Of first
place. He is Grover Cleveland Alex.
ander 1t is the first time since have
been in the league that one player
stands out in front Of all of his rivals.
1t would not be proper for me to give
my opinion Oh the race or to pick nv
favorite for the pennant, but I'll say
this: If Alexander had been with the
cardinals since the start Of the season
st. Louis would have won the pennant.
Huggins lacked just such a pitcher.
When team has a pitcher like Alex
ander it shows confidence. I've seen
the Phils slip several times this
summer: Alexander would go to the
hill, pitch shut-out game, and the
Quakers would be back on their stride.
Give the Reds Alexander and think
Herzog would have won the pennant.
The same for the Cubs and other
clubs"
Alexander was born at st. Paul.
Neb., on February 26, 1887. His first
professional engagement was with the
Galesburg (Ill.) team in the Illinois
Michigan league in 1909. He was
drafted by the indianapolis team of
the American association in 1910 and
was turned over to the Syracuse club
or the New York State league without
trial in 1910 and drafted by the Phil
lies at the end Of that season.

ford Cravath, moro popularity known
as Cactus and Gavvy. Cravath has
never been noted for his fielding or
speed on the bases. His speciality IS
in making home runs, and he stands
in class OF his own in this regard
All season long he has been swinging
his wagon tongue with deadly effect
and his long.distance drives have
meant runs. Cravath has won MANY

Flattening Out Zionism.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Reading between the lines Of your
item on the Zionist convention now being
held at Boston, may I, as zone who knows"
be permitted to briefly give a critical review
of the phase at which the Zionist movement
has arrived at present?
Mr.. Brandeis, a quite recent acquisition
to the Zionist ranks, whose personal knowl-
edge Of the history Of Zonism, ranging
now over nearly half century, is neces-
sarily limited, declares that Zonsts, like
Americans, were striving for the principles
Of brotherhood, democracy, social justice
and liberty" Granted this to be so, it must
strike the impartial mind as a rather pre-
tentious performance for body represent
ing, at most, 10000 American Jews to pose
as the guiding spirit for the hundred mill
ions composing the American people.
DR.. Friedenwald's rather apologize pro-
nouncement that "Zionists, in seeking to re-
turn to Jerusalem, mean no disloyalty to
this beloved country Of our birth" should
take an intelligent audience somewhat by
surprise, powerfully suggesting as II does
the question why such a protestation and
defence in public Of Zionist activities should
have been called for.
Mr. Lipsky's report speaks Of the "accu-
muated possessions of the Zionsts organi-
zation in Palestine" making the uninitiated
believe that the practical Palestinian col
onzation work Of the last thirty-fye years
has been chiefly that done with the advent of
Dr. Herzl. As matter Of fact, 80 per cent
Of that work had been done before DR..
HerLl was raised on the shoulders OF the
old Chovevi Zion Lovers of Zion move
ment, between 1880 and 1897. The Chovevi
Zion not only did all the pioneer work dur
ing the pre-Zonist period, but gave the
Zionist cause its form impetus and policies
up 10 the present time. But what the old
unpre;entious but eifectual ChoveW Zion
movement furnished in depth Of genuine
Jewish national feeling and in the unostenta-
tious doing Of things has been largely dissi-
pated and vitiated through the capture OF
the movement by younger element, using

could persuade him that she was not an
agent Of the British government. Similar
dolusions Of persecution have been mani
tested by other fanatics, Us Sir Roger
Easement, for instance, in recent days,
and there are always some simple folk
who share in them.
When O'Donovan Rosa went back to
his native country, not many years ago,
he found that popular sentiment had
undergone vast change. 1t is said that
on his return he confded his disappoint-
ment to one Of his cronies, declaring that
Ireland was "going to the bad" He
found, Of course, that the conditions he
had known were virtually obsolete, and
doubtless he was too old to adapt him
self TO the new conditions. The tradi-
ton he understood Is still carried on in
travesty by clownish weddings In this
country, but every day the breach grows
wider between the real Irish and the pro-
fessional Irish-American.

First Aid to Merchant Marine,

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago read in The Tribune
that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
was about to 90 out Of business, because it
could not compete with the subsidized steam
ships OF Japan. This would mean that the
Stars and Stripes would disappear from the
Pacific Ocean.
Something must DO done by the people Of
the United States TO avert this disgrace. The
flag Of the United States must not disappear
from the Pacific. Since our government has
been remiss m this matter, would suggest
that 100000 citizens subscribe 800 each, the
total amount to be devoted to the interest of
the shipping industry Of this country. As
far MS dividends on the $2O0O0,00O thus sub
scribed are concerned, think the subscribers
would waive all claims TO same, provided the
Stars and Stripes could be kept on the oceans
Of the world. GEORGE W. WAGNER.
