DOC WHITE ALWAYS
TERROR TO YANkS

For several seasons after Doc White
had outliyed his usefulness against
the general run of American League
clubs he was retained as a MEMBER OF
the White Sox hurting corps for the
especial benefit of the Yankees. A marx
for practically every other team in his
circuit during the last few years OF
his Chicago connections, White was
yeritable left-handed Johnson against
the Yankees almost to the very end.
Came a time eventually when
managerial job called him to the Pacihc
Coast for the first time in many a long
and dreary year, and the Yankees teit
free and easy in their minds as they
contemplated future competition against
the White Sox. Their hopes were
speedily dashed, however, for White
had scarcely gone away from Chicago
when Ed Cicotte bodied up TO cast
upon the New Workers a spell almost
as potent as the old White hoodoo it.

A failure at Boston, Cicotte has been

Alexander Now
in Full Swing
for Flag Race
Pat Moran's Prodigy on Way to
Heights Beyond All
Pitchers.

II the Phillies Of Pat Moran again
win the National League championship,
then Grover Cleveland Alexander will
have to be rated as the greatest pitcher
of all the present day crop. For it is
Alex who is the real backbone Of Mo-
rams Ainging corps. What's more,
since July 7, when he shut out the
Cards. l to 0, Alex has won ten games
and lost only two, winning percentage
of 1888.
In the same time, the Phillies have
annexed twenty-eight box scores and
lost thirteen, a mark OF .636. ms
shows that Alex has been credited with
more than one-third OF the victories,
while his defeats total less than one
sixth.
That's not the most wonderful part
of his work, though. In his last los
innings he has been scored upon Just
nine times, an average OF ;5l runs per
nine round battle. Which Is some
finging. Seven of his contests curing
this period have been shutouts. ineres
no twirler in captivity to-day VINO Can
boast of like record.
The last defeat for Alex came at the
hands of the Cardinals, who beat MIN
August 5, 2 to 0, with Mule" watson
the rookie highlander, on the hill.
Since that victory Watson has been
beaten by the Giants and Pirates; Alex,
on the other hand, has come back with
three shutouts, two against the Reds
and one against the Giants.
In this stretch Alex had one bad
game, that against the Cubs. July ~,
when he was knocked off the hill after
allowing four runs in seven innings

Speaker has occasion to worry some
over basebal's batting honors, which
he has usurped most Of the season.
That habitual champion of champions,
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, is closing fast
on the idol Of Cleveland through the
stretch run. At the rate of gain he
made last week Ty has every reason TO
hope that he may overhaul iris before
October.
Iris fell off only one point in the
week. from 800 to .3S9, but Ty picked
up seven points, boosting .349 average
10 1856. That made gain OF seven
points, anu iris now leads by only .O33.
The race for premier batting honors
is fast becoming a three-cornered one,
with Joe Jackson. Of the White Sox a
real menace to iris and Ty. Shoeless
Joe kept pace with the Georgian Peach
last week. He is still only three points
away, with fine 1853.
The reform of the Yankees is shown
in the statistics. Charley Mullen, pinch
hitter extraordinary, is now fourth
among American League sluggers, with
a grand average Of 1897. Hughie High
still flirts with the 800 mark-a .296,
to be exact. The Yankees stand fourth
in club fielding, but sixth in team bat

CLEVELAND TEAM WILL
BE MONEY MAKER

According to Business Manager Nc
Roy of the Cleveland Indians, who
played at the Polo Grounds last week,
that club will prove one OF the best
money makers eff the year. Besides be-
ing In the thick o; the pennant fight,
the Indians already have the attendance
record for the American League this
season sewed up.
Secretary Mercy says that his club
had played TO more than $4,000 paid
admissions at home this season. The
Indians park seats 1900, and only
400 of these seats sell for two bits.
The average for each admission Is bet
ter than 65 cents on the season.
That means that the Cleveland club
has had cash receipts at home of over
$3.50 900, Of which the visiting clubs got
about one-fourth.

ONLY FIVE NEW MEN
FOR CLEVELAND TEAM

St. Louis, Aug. 19.-Although his
team is in seventh place, Manager
Miller Higgins of the Cardinals an
nounces that he expects only two new
players before the end of the season.
What's more, the Cardinals, with one
of the weakest clubs St. Louis ever
owned, playing in a weak league, has
so far obtained only five players with
which to strengthen the 1917 outfit.
The two players Higgins expects to
join the team within the next week or
so are Lou North, a twirler who has
been making great showing with
Omaha in the Western League, and
Stewart, the second sacker from JACK
sonville.

GEORGE STALllNCS
AND HIS BONEHEADS

Many humorous stories are told about
George Stallings and his "bonehesds-"
The best one was when George was
managing the Yanks. when they played
on the old Hilltop grounds. Ray Dem
NIT was then with the team, and
Yank was on third, with two out. Ray
turned TO the big chief for advice. and
asked; shall try to bring him In
with long fly. Mr.. Stallings!" you
better fly into the clubhouse" said the
irate George, cor I'll massacre you"
Tien there is the more recent story
about an incident during the Braves
pennant drive in 1914. Now, il Gowdy
gets on, 'Bonehead' will bot for the
pitcher" said George. Gowdy got one
and every Boston reserve ran out and
grabbed a stick. II we recall right,
however, Stallings had particular ret
erence that day to Josh Devore.

Has
Ruled Giants
for II Years
Baltimore Fans Greatly Upset
When, John J. Deserted
Them.

John McGraw took charge of the
Giants in July, 1902, after flying the
American League coop and returning
to the National League fold. lnciden-
tally, that is a day Of bitter memories
for Baltimore, as the fans Of that city
hold McGraw responsible for the fact
that the Maryland metropolis is
minor league town, although larger
than several cities in the big show.
McGraw, who was popular in Balti-
more as a veteran of the pennant-win-
ming Orioles of the National League,
was placed in charge of the Baltimore
American League club in 1901. Almost
from the first McGraw and President
johnson were at loggerheads, and the
warfare between the league boss ana
the scrappy pilot reached Its cuimlna-
ton in July, 1902, when MeGraw, Mel
lev and Mahon, the controlling STOCK
holders of the Baltimore club, SOLD
their stock to the National League.
McGraw then went to New YORK, and
on July 10 was engaged as manager OF
the Giants by Andrew Freedman, then
owner of the Polo Grounds aggrega-
York several of the stars Of the Balti-
more club and left behind him law

fans that the attendance dropped on
Wilbert Robinson took charge OF the
remnants of the Baltimore club and
piloted it through the remainder OF
the season, but the magnates OF the
new circuit were so soured on Baltl-
more that the city was dropped from
the league.
Andrew Freedman, who was the pres
ident Of the New York club when NC
Graw was hired, and who died lew
months ago. had been the owner OF the
Giants since 1895, and between that
wear and 1902 the club hid had thir-
teen managers, including George Davis,
Jack Doyle, Harry Watkins, Arthur IT.
win, "Scrappy Bill" Joyce, cap" An
son, John B. Day, Fred Hoey, Buck
Ewing, George Smith and Horace Fogel.
Most of the time the team was in or
near the cellar, and the proud team
of Jim Mutrie, whose slogan was we
Are the People," was but q memory.
Soon after McGrsw took charge, Freed
man sold out to John T. Brush, and
in 1903 the Giants finished second.
The following year McGraw won the
first of the FIVE pennants he has an
nexed since he took charge of the
Giants. In spite of last years failure
McGraw is stiN psidered one of the
best leaders in the hi><ssX Of the game.
He is not as serappy and Ssllicose as
of yore, but what he may have lost in
aggressiveness he has gained in knowl-
edge of the fine points Of the great
game which he has made his life study.
