three valuable members of Morans team

to remain in the game his work will be
affected great deal 1t also is possible
that Hillefer is hurt more than he be-
lieves. and when 1t comes time to take
the field will find out that he cannot stand
the pace.
1t is bad enough for the Phillies to be off
form and playing in hard luck but it is out
of the question to expect them to win with
umpiring such as has been done by Rigler
and Orth throughout the series Pittsburgh
fans have written letters by the score to
Manager Moran telling him that they are Of
the opinion that he is getting the worst Of
1t from Riglcr and Orth, and Pittsburgh
scribes have made no bones about it. They
have been roasting the umpiring unmerci-
fully.
Yesterdays defeat was due almost en-
trely to the miserable umprng of Rigler
and Orth, who were so far off in their de-
Cisons that partisan home crowd hooted
and howlcd throughout the game. Rigler
called Carey safe at second on an attempted
steal in the ninth inning, when ii was ap-
parent, even from the stand, that Carey s
foot was at least two feet from the bag.
This one decision saved the Pirates, as
Carey would have been the second out and
would not have been In position to score
the tying run when RiNcy cut loose a wild
pitch Rixey deserved a l.to-O victory,
and the Philly players were so incensed at
what they claim to be ltiger's spite work"
that the quiet unassuming George Whittcd
was put out of the game for THE first time
i'm his career, while later on in the game,
when Rixcy was called out at first Man
ager Moran, Adams McQuillan and Chal-
mers were sent to the clubhouse,
Alexander the Great will be on the mound
for the philiCs today.

ROCKFORD CLUB
GIVES UP PUBLIC

Lack of Funds Forces Park
Organization to Abandon

CLUBS CAN HELP OUT

The Rockford Tennis club has decided to
abandon the Eastern clay-court champion
ship tournament that has been fixture at
the public courts in Fairmount Park Tor
many years At least, the event VIII not
be held In the future under the auspices Of
that organization.
There are a number OF reasons for this
action but the most important one is that
the Rockford Tennis club has in past years
had to dig into its treasury TO make up a
bg deficit II is almost impossible to run
a tournament on entrance fees alone. and
the mapjOrity Of the members cannot AFFORD
TO contribute to a tournament fund.
1t is too bad that this fixture should go
10y the board. but il will unless the various
tennis and country clubs around Philadcl-
phia help out These clubs can make the
tournament for the public park players pos
sible every year by setting aside fixed
sum. which. it is almost certain, could be
raised by general subscription.
All but very few of the Country's leading
lights OF tennis began as public park players.
IT the users of the courts in Paramount
Park could have the same advantages as
those i'm other seCtions-tiolden Gate PARK,
San Francisco. for instance-it is not too
much to believe that equally good tennis
players might he developd.

Blackburn started after Ahearn in the

considerably, but his cleverness saved him
from any serious damage. Instead of fight

studying his opponents attack and three

Why There Is But One

Many baseball fans often have won-
dered Just why there is only one Ty Cobb
Dave Robertson is one answer. Dave has
everything Ty has in the way of physical
ability-greater speed, a better arm greater
physical strength, a batting eye that should
be supreme.
But when Ty comes upon a slump It
means for him merely the beginning Of a
harder fight. His head never says and he
never eases up for moment in his battle
against a brief decline.
Robertson was batting 1853. He looked
to be one of the greatest of all time. Then
the ever arriving slump came and Dave
became discouraged. He didn't sulk and
you couldn't say that he quit But the
discouragement was so heavy upon him
that most of the Zest, for the time being
went out of his life. While Ty was hack
ing away at his faults and fighting back
grimly Dave was wondering moodily when
the slump would pass,

set for next week has become so badly
scrambled that no one knows exactly where
TO start, much less where to finish. You
can take your pick from Johnston, VIII
liams, Church. Griffin, Mclaughlin or Muir
ray-and even then you might be wrong.
The Reign of the Barons is about over as
the field rises up in long delayed revenge.
