National LeaguerS Well
Bunched at Quarter Pole

Cardinals, the Pirates would rise into
fifth place out of seventh.
Providing that the games to-day re-
suit in the manner suggested, the Rob-
ms would lead with a percentage OF
625; the Phillies would go into second
place, while the Giants would drop to
third. The Braves would return 10 the
first division, ranking fourth, with the
Pirates fifth and the Cubs, Reds and
Cardinals coming in order.
Then again, should the Braves lose
to the Cardinals and the other teams
win as told before, the Pirates would be
fourth, the Cubs fifth, the Braves
sixth, the Reds seventh and the Cards
eighth. But enough of figures.
We were talking TO one of the Ma
tional League pitchers yesterday, and
in course of conversation Benny Kauff
was discussed. This pitcher is a golf
Benny Kauff could apply some of the
science of the ancient and royal game
to his batting he would add points to
mis- average.
kauff Is 0veranxious.
"Kauffs great trouble" said the
player, sis his overanxiety. He wants
to hit the ball every time up there, and
frets If he fails to do so. He is swing
ing entirely too hard, pressing if you
please, and is taking his eye off the
ball. He is getting the same results as
the golfer who jerks his head up while.
bringing his club through.
"lf Kauff would stand up there more
at ease and time his swing better he
would get many ball int, ,afe ground
where now ne is striking or offering
easy chances. There is no reason why
a batter could not substitute a lateral
swing for the descending swing of golf.
Some Of the best hitters in the game
are practising it, and believe il would
help Kauff lot. Hitting, after all,
Is more a matter Of timing than bulk
In golf there are slightly built men
who outdrive and outplay the giants
Willie Keller, perhaps the greatest ex-
ponent OF the timed swing, was a
slightly built little fellow, but he GER
tainly did pop the ball into safe ground
Kauff is a natural hitter. and he Is n
little giant in mould. He will come
through all right, but a little more
poise would help him greatly
Jimmy Callahan, the smiling man
ager of the Pirates, is the most opti-
mistic fellow in the world. Between
puffs of a fragrant perfecto he said
Yesterday that he expected 70 pull the
Pirates out Of their present lowly po-
siton. and put them up in the race. At
present the Pirates are holding forth
In seventh place. One of the reasons
for this is the lack OF hitting. The
team average is only .23s, with Hinch-
man and Wagner the only men in the
select circle.

Concerning Golf.

The defeat Of Phil Carter at Nassau
yesterday, even by so good a golfer as
Reggie Lewis, was more than a sur
prise. After the brilliant golf played
at Pinehurst for over three months the
drift of the game has gone against him.
He played only fair golf at Baltimore
and played poorly in the four ball
match at Hackensack. But after a thor
ough rest he looked TO be in shape for
another turn of fast golf when he led
the big field at Nassau in the qualifying
round. Then 10 be trimmed by wide
margin upset the talent considerably.
Carter, as a rule, is a fine match
player. But his recent showing at Bal
timore, Hackensack and Nassau IS evil
dence enough that he isn't playing as
we'll this spring as he did last year
when he won the Oakland tournament
and carried John G.. Anderson twenty
three holes in the Metropolitan semi
finals. This takes no credit from Lewis
who proved at Wykagyl that he has re-
turned TO his best game, which IS no
easy game to grapple with, whosoever
the opponent may be.

Giants About Due to End
Costly Batting Slump
By BRIGGS

ures the recent two day rest has been
sufficient to put his club back upon
edge for another flying sprint.
That long road romp which resulted
In nineteen victories out of twenty-one
starts was something of q strain, with
a record in sight most Of the way, but
the brief batting slump which followed
the Giants return should now be over.
McGraw was looking for this slump the
day his men got home. We've been
hitting at a great clip" he said that
afternoon, "and so now are about due
for a short slump, as no club could
maintain that pace all the season. But
don't believe the slump, when it
comes, will last very long. And when
the tide turns we'll be out there win
ming again"

l4-INNING TIE
AT CLEVELAND
Indians and Senators in
Deadlock, Thanks to
WambsganSS.

Cleveland, O., June s.-Cleveland and
Washington played fourteen innings TO
a tie this afternoon, each scoring five
runs. After Washington had acquired
a lead of five runs in the first inning
when Wambsganss's error spoiled a
chance to retire the side without a
score, Cleveland played an uphill
game and tied the count in the ninth
Knocking Harper from the box;
Washington did not make hit from
the first until the eleventh inning
Double plays prevented Cleveland from
winning easily. Chapman made his
first appearance in game since April
81.
The score follows:

gold medalist Of the day before seemed

and well he might, for Lewis kept reel

Rain Frets Hank Fabian,
While Players Enjoy An
other Idle Day.
By FRANK O'NEILL-

From out a dark and lowering sky
vast quantities Of the gentle rain fell
all day yesterday, and never a game OF
ball was played Hank Fabian, ground
keeper of the Polo Grounds. wandered
out on the Harlem meadow TO see how
his turtle back diamond was holding
its own under the steadfast attack by
the rain, and ne reported that while
all was damp, it still was well.
Hank said in effect that he felt like
one who treads alone some banquet
hall deserted, whose lights were fed,
whose garlands dead and all but he
departed. Only Hank said in his own
terse way: This here weather gets
my goat" -,
The teams in the National League all
bowed 20 the will of the weather man
and not a game was played. There
was nothing for the athletes 10 do but
20 loaf, while the owners paid the bills
and prayed for clearing weather. The
rainy day to-day causes the double
headers OF tomorrow and adds TO the
pleasure of the fans. On the other
hand, the club owners believe that
law should be enacted limiting the
rain TO the hours or l O'CLOCK 10
o'clock In the morning.
The overhead expense OF maintain
ing a baseball team In these booming
DAYS runs over 100000, what with
salaries, railroad fares, training trips,
hotel and other expenses. Every day
counts, especially with a losing club.
The double headers round out the
schedule, but not tho pocketbook. II
a team Is winning the fans will turn
out anyway, and double bill works no
material benefit II the club be losing
then the fans don't want TO sit through
eighteen innings anyway.
National Teams Well Bunched.
The National League season has
passed the quarter mark and the teams
are pretty we'll punched up. There is
a difference Of eight games between
the Brooklyn Robins, who hold first
place, and the ST. Louis Cardinals, who
are cropping about in the cellar. The
Robins, the Giants and the Phillies
enjoy the distinction Of having won
more games than they lost 20 date.
The Cubs, Braves, Reds, Pirates and
Cardinals have lost more than they
have won. Should the Pirates down
the Giants again to-day while the Rob-
ms beat the Reds, the Phillies subdue
the Cubs and the Braye@ scalp the

Berner knew no stopping in the first
half of his match with kirkby. Driving
a terrific ball, he generally had the ad-
vantage off the tee by twenty or thirty
yards. II is an unusual thing for the
New Jersey champion to find himself
playing the odd after tho tee shots. but
he had to do 1t yesterday, and before
he knew It he was 1 down, down.. 3

But Bcrner had evidently been play

stood on the ninth tee. He hooked his
long drive out of bounds, giving Kirkby
the hole, and picked up, and that was
the beginning of the end for him.
