Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-04-12

ark Federal League team, has de-
cided that Vim Campbell. the speedy
outfielder, will not play until theteam
reaches Brooklyn for two-game Sc
ries on Wednesday. Campbell worked
in practice with the Terrapins at
Baltimore this morning and will con-
tinue to do so. Bill Phillips allowed
Campbell to bat in his regular posi-
lion with the Pops during the pre-
liminary practice Saturday. but at
the last minute he shifted and put
in Gil Whitehouse to cover right
field. He decided that Campbell might
pull a charley horse IL he worked too
soon, and in the end it would pay to
keep Whitehouse in the game.
The Pep players swear that Camp
bell is a faster man than Ty Cobb
and that If he hit as well as Ty there
would he nothing to 1t. With Camp
bell, Roush and Scheer in the outfield
the Pops have the best looking out
field in the country, bar none.
CIV Falkenberg was as sore as a
hornet in the seventh inning of Sat
urday's game. The big fellow had
been working under a strain, as the
wind swept briskly over the field dead
against his curve pail. The wind
hampers a curve ball pitcher more
than q spitball artist and Cy felt the
strain several times. "The crowd did
not get me a bit flustered In that
seventh inning when I walked those
two men with the bases filled, but
| cot SO dog-gone mad at myself that
I could have bit my head off. An old
timer who has been pitching ninety
eight years like me never minds q
crowd. but for fellow like me to
lose control--well. that was the
limit"
Falkenberg pitched masterful
game. The Terrapins are a. bunch OF
fast ball hitters, and the only way
for a pitcher to fool them is to keep
changing his pace, buzzing one
through occasionally and keeping
them crossed all the time.
Knabe and Doolan are still great
combination at inside baseball. There
Is not a better one In the major
leagues. Esmond and Laporte, how
ever, fairly scintilated by their bril-
liant work around the keystone sack.
The real fielding star of the first
quartet, however, was Bill McKech-
ME. When Bill is right nobody is
going to catch him fiatfooted on a
bunt. He dashed in Saturday and
made a wonderful stop of swing
ing bunt on Duncan, but was on MS
balance ana Duncan, the Terrapin
speed merchant. bested his throw by
an eyelash.
Mrs. Falkenberg got In from Chi
sago Just before the game and was
on the ragged edge from nervous ex-
citement all during the contest. she
nearly tainted in the seventh when
Cy go. into his predicament.
AL scheer has a perfect batting
average to show for his days work.
4 lie doubled against the right-hel
wall, slammed two-sacker against
the left-feld fence, walked once, and
slammed out a singe. Bill says that
seventh plac3 en- the batting order
ia lust as important for a cleanup
hitter as fourth position, and having
a. speedy man down there In addition
TO a cleanup slugger makes his team
a wonderful combination.
Big Chief Bender, who steals signs
for the Terrapins-at least he tried
to-fell down miserably. Falkenberg
never used any signs. He pitches
like Joe McGinnity. and when the
Chief failed to get hip he grunted
and growled and then tried to get
Cy's goat. Falkenberg had the upper
hand at the finish and the Chief
crawled out of the dugout without a
murmer at the end of the ninth In
ming.
Report has It that Bert Maxwell
is to be retained by the Brookfeds
and that Bradley and Shaw will be
retained by Kansas City. This trio
were with Brooklyn last year, but
were traded to the Pops when New
ark was supposed to get the Kansas
City franchise.
They may rave about the Yanks,
