OLD BOB GROOM
HAS EASY TIME
Pipp Alone of Donovan Clan
Able 10 Hit Ex.Fed with
Any Success.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Cliff Markle has found that Fame is
a ghost on the highway, a gray phap'
tom along the open road.
Cliff broke IN with the Yanks last
fall and won his first two games with
ease. He started the present campaign
with three victories. And then, sup
pressing a yawn, as he reached out for
the olive chaplet destiny stepped up
with a gas pipe and Cliff hasn't come
TO yet.
Yesterday against the Browns Cliff
blew his second game Of the week be-
fore Donovan could rush an aid to the
rescue. For two innings the youngster
was a pink-tinted success. But IN the
third he had filed the bases with no.
body out before Mogridge could arrive
with his long left arm TO relieve the
congestion.
Youth VS.. Age.
As result of Msrkles fourth skid
ding endemic out Of his last four
starts the depressed Browns rose Ian
guidly upon their hind legs and beat
the astonished Yanks 4 TO 2. The fact
that Bill Dineen called two badly spot
ted decisions at first base had nothing
70 do with il. as they only cost run.
The two main stumbling blocks for the
leaders were Youth and Age-Cnf
Markle and Long Bob Groom, the
moody right handler. who waited the
Yanks aside with seven hits, only TWO
of which bubbled out in the plnches.
The Yanks lost, but they still clung
70 the peak by the skin OF their gleam =
ing teeth, as the obliging Tigers at last
tossed the hooks into the Red SoX. AS
neither Cleveland nor Chicago galneo
anv ground TO speak Of the defeat was
not so hard a blow as 1t might nave
been. so;-
The case of Markle is queer AFFAIR
When he began pitching for New 1ork
he worked with all the confidence OF
young Mathewson. He looked 10 nave
evervtbing. plus. Which is quite a
hit But after his first defeat back IN
Vev ne has been of no value whatso-
ovor Most of his confidence now mas
nassed out. He doesn't start as II ne
nvnected 70 win. He hasn't been able 70

roctv section was reached. In ms last
four starts to date the enemy nave

Cincinnati. July 20.-Christy X.,h,,
son will assume the management, or.
Reds tomorrow. After sixteen ,s,.
Matty returns TO the team which ,u.I
him up as a youthful pitcher o.nu.
ticular promise. He comes bxt ,.,,
having written one Of the cleans. ra
brightest chapters in the annals 9,
baseball.
The deal by which Matty comes bad
to Cincinnati is one Of the most senu.
tionsl trades in the history Of orgs,,
lied baseball. BY the terms of d,
dicker Buck Herzog, one OF the gres,
est of the infielders and manager Of u,
Reds, goes TO the Giants, taking WIZ
him Wade Killifer. Rousch and ".
Kechnie are released to the Reds !,
the Giants. This will make the thir:
time that HerZog has worn the unito,,
of the New York Nationals.
The trading of Matty came n
shock to the followers OF the Gsrs
and their name is legion. They sn .
be found all the way from ALASKA 3
the Horn. An earthquake swsllovi,l
the Brush Stadium might have bee
considered less startling.
But for the last two years Matty ~
been on the decline as a pitcher. {,
admitted this himself, although b
ardent followers refused 70 believe Ar
the wing of Mathewson could ever IA.
or that his fadesway could ever los
its magic. Even John McGrss. who's
business is TO know when ais olde
PLAYERS are on the decline and TO re
place them with new ones, hrmly a.
serted that Matty's old "soupooa
would be in shape by the time ~
warm weather came" Inc 0isna
pitching staff for two years his osei
built around Matty, but the. BIG 81
proved an undependable foundstiOn.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-21
"When Matty Was Right

II was a tradition for these nxl
years that "When Matty was rign' q
Giants led. but when Aiacty was wreu
the Giants trailed." The tradition ~
become an axiom. Matty has no. ees
right for two years, as the positlcs 4
the Giants will indicate. Sixteen yssa
of the sort Of ball that Matty tT
pitched is all that could be expe'A
from one human being.
For sheer nerve and coo.ness '1']
probably never was a ball player "a
Mathewson. Manager McGraw OF Y
Giants had made IL a rule never 70 "a
OUT Nathewson, no matter COW 81
game was going. Il was a rule i!s'
which ne seldom devlated. ne y.
belief Of the Giants was that II Ma
could not win. no pitcher IN the WV"
could save the day.
To have the bases filed with the PES
