PILLS FAVORITE
FOR THIRD GAME
WITH CHICAGO
Demaree's Hurting a n d
Hitting Make Him King
in Phils' Camp
wHITTED HAS SORE LEG
By a stac corrcspondont

TAMPA, Fla, March 2i-4The Phiiiies
showed that they can play baseball just
as we'll on one side of the bay as on the
other by trouncing the Chicago Cubs here
yesterday, to 2. on Saturday the cham
pion Phils also won fracas from the
Windy City boys, and the two successive
triumphs make them favorltes for the
clash this afternoon.
AL Demaree is the popular man with
the Phllles this morning, for yesterday
he did several things to attract attention
He hurled the last four innings for the
Moran Maulers and swished the sphere
across in such artful fashion that Dutch"
Zwilling. who pnched for Hendrix IN the
fifth, was the only Chcagoan to damage
his delivery, although the cartoonlst was
guilty of Issuing two passes.
But this is not ALL In the sixth inning
the Phllly twirler smacked out circuit
clout over the head of Cy williams In
centre field. The ball dropped on the
motorcycle track, far out in the suburbs
Of the park
Manager Joe Tinkers Federal and
National League stars were completely
bahled before the speed and prowess of
the champions. At no stage of the game
after the first inning were the Quaker
lads seriously threatened They looked
almost class better than their Windy
City opponents.
Mayer pitched the first four innings for
the Phils and performed in creditablo style,
the Cubs obtaining only four hits during
his reign, although one of them was a cir-
cult clout by Williams over Cravath's
dome in the opening frame. ERIK" also did
yeoman service with the willow, spinning
two solid singles, each of which contribute
ed a run. After Mulligan, who usurped
Doolan's place at short, and Flaclt had
been retired in the initial inning, ICY"
Williams rose to the occasion by polling the
pellet to the distant reaches of right field
the ball rolling under the fence which
guards the race track and resulting In q
home run. The Phils died In order

At inaghting and in the cllnches, and, best
Of all. assimilate punishment Outside of
that Ertle didn't have a thing.
ErtIe's Class Exposed
Having looked over Kid Herman, who
gave williams such a tough battle in New
Orleans a short time ago and giving the
champion the same batting average as the
kid we are taking no chances when we
assert that Johnny is the big noise among
the little guys. Last night he showed the
real class and It Is the first time he has let
himself out since making his debut to the
Philadelphia fans, Up to that time it was a
secret.
Young McGovern is the toughest propo-
nltion E;rtle has met I'm his Eastern in
yasion. In the first round Mac got off
10 a flying start and handed several
healthy wallops to the visitor. His left
was working nicely and once he lifted
Ertle off his feet with a hook to the Jaw
Johnny was studying his opponent, but
found II difficult to solve his attack
= Every time the Kewpie rushed he was
met with straight left to the face. fol-
lowed by hard right cross to the head
IL looked as IL the championship claim
ant was about to fall by the wayside, for
Ertle was a tired bantam when he went
to his corner.
Johnny Is Generous
In the second, however. Johnny came
up for air and the going no longer re-
sembled the rocky road to Dublin. He
began to caress McGovern with lovely
wallops to the head, jaw and body, but
still ran into that left jab which McGovern
persisted in throwing in his face.
But il was in this round that IGrtle con-
ferred a great favor on his foe and made
II possible for him to enter any boxing
club in the country without slipping some
change to the man in the box office. The
ducket for free admission was presented
near the end of the round, when Johnny
started right swing from the floor and
caught McGovern on the left ear. The
auditory organ sprouted like a green
onion and when the battle was over 1t
was a beautiful "tin" ear, such as all
regular boxers wear.
McGovern did not appear to appre-
eiate this act OF kindness for he gritted
his teeth. made faces at Ertle and sailed
in as If he held something against him.
Frank o Briep, TIN referee, saw that mat
ters were getting serious. and he breath
lessly watched the conflict with nervous
apprehension.
Ertle showed that he had no hard feel
ings, for he allowed his opponent to rush
at him swinging both hands, and only
used q right or left smash to the jaw to
stop the wild flight These lefts and
rights landed with amazing regularity in
the fifth round. and McGovern seemed
ready to devote 10 seconds or more to
slumber on the canvas. He emerged with
out going to sleep. but was drowsy at the
end, The same thing happened in the
sixth, and the final clang Of the gong was
as welcome as a o'clock whistle.
Johnny made tremendous hit in the

LaiOie Is Idol

But Larry was still a wonder and a
drawing card He was always a popular
idol but like all other athletes he is APP
preaching the time when he must bow to
youth. II Is believed that Manager Mack
has in Lew Malone youngster who Is
going to supplant the famous veteran as
a regular, but Larry declares that it will
not happen this season.
I.ajoie is absolutely confident that he
will have one great season before he Is
replaced and will be satisfied to step aside
to make room for youngster after the
present season. He realizes that Mack,
I'm building new machine must have
young blood and he Is aiding Connie by de-
veloping his successor.
All Lajoie wants Is one more season as
a regular If he starts the coming cam
paign as n regular he will enter n select
class in which but four names are en-
rolled. This roll of honor is for players
who have played more than 20 years III
the major leagues as n regular. There Is
no other player in the game today barring
Wagner, who is likely to reach the mark.

time to play 81 years in the major leagues

the game for more than score of years.
but not continuously in the major leagues
II appearances count for anything Lajoie
should be the fifth name enrolled in this
honor list.
Larry reported this spring lighter than
usual as he has been working lightly for
a few weeks in order to report close to his
normal weight. He realizes that he is no
longer n youngster, and that it Is now
harder to take off weight Therefore, he
wanted to report in good shape so that
he would be better able to stand the hard
grind of spring training as prescribed by
Manager Mack this year.

fidence. However, there was one
thing that should prove so valuable
to many others, that Mr.. Knight will
pardon the little innovation, the G.
r. feels assured.
It is. one of his firm beliefs that
the greatest need Of the Southland
is of educated men and women. He
has eight children of his own, and
he naturally thinks they are the big
gest kind of a legacy he can leave
to posterity, and, he is right.
At the birth of each one of these
youngsters Mr.. Knight took out an
endowment policy due to mature at
that crucial time when the expense of
education must be seriously consid-
cred Three of his sons have passed
through the University of Virginia
and are rendering a good account of
themselves in the world, while the
others will follow them in due course.
AS to the commercial future of the
South Mr.. Knight is an optimist of
the brightest hue. There was time.
he admits, when the men below the
Mason and Dixon's line were not able
to compete with the business men
who focked south after the war. But
that day has passed and largely rs
a result of up-to-date educational
methods. The business men of the
South today tip their hats only to
superior acumen, and it is rarely
that they find it.
Alexandria has labored under a
number of handicaps,, Mr.. Knight ad-
mits, and since he has lived here all
his life he ought to know. One Of
these is that in the days following
the war Alexandrians became affiict-
ed with sort of business paralysis,
as the result Of a number of rather
disastrous investments. They were
several times, to use the parlance,
badly 'stung'. But the memory Of
these things is passing and there is
every reason to believe, according to
Mr.. Knight, that the future will be
a bright one, commercially, and In
every other way. He is firm in the
belief that Alexandria possesses all
the advantages of many other cities
which are prospecting more greatly
than she is, and, in addition, many
others. The nearness to the North;
the passage to deep water, afford
ing the possibility of playing both
ends against the middle in the trans
portation game by using water trans
portation as means of keeping the
railroads good, and vice versa-all
these things and many others faml-
liar to most public-spirited Alexan-
