N. Y. CHALLENGES
OUR INDUSTRIALS
Gothamites Propose Inter-
city Series for Baseball
Championship
RED CROSS DAY AUG. 25

Baseball fans of Philadelphia will in al
probability havo an opportunity of witness
Ing an intercity or worlds series" tourna.
ment even though the Phillies and the Ath.
letics are out of the proposition in the
majors
The local Industrial Baseball League
which Is divided into two sections Of six.
teen clubs, has received a challenge from
the Hudson County Commercial Baseball
League for a post series between New
York and Philadelphia.
No action has been taken on the matter
as President Harry Cittel said today ali
the efforts of she members are now concen-
trated in making success of the monster
fleld-day the league will stage at Point
Breeze Park on Saturday, August 25, for the
benefit OF the American Red Cross 1t Is
expected that at least 10000 persons will
attend and several thousand dollars turned
over to the worthy cause.
The challenge from the New Yorkers
follows:
Mr.. Harry Clttel,
President Philadelphia Industrial League:
Dear Sir-The Hudson County Commercial
season season Sc series Of games with the Philadclphia
matter =" 'N''
our idea Of the proposition is that each league
select n representative team composed of players
picked from the various teams in the respective
leagues and play three-game series, one at
home one away and the third to be decided by
the toss Of coin.
Also the home team guarantee tho payment
OF 500 expenses TO the visiting team for each
game This would Just about cover the train
fare from New York to Philadelphia for a team
OF fifteen men and the league officials.
however these are only tentative conditions,
and more definite arrangements would have TO
be made IL you deem 1t Advisable TO accept this
proposition 1900
Trusting to hear favorably from you at your
earliest convenience. beg TO remain,
Yours respectfully,

away with congestion. Forecaddies were

knew 1t was time to shoot.

BALA BREAKS RECORD FOR ENTRIES
WITH A LIST OF 14S, LARGEST
NUMBER ENTERED THIS YEAR
Hard Job to Handle Such Crowd on Nine Hole
Course, But Tournament Committee
Is Equal to 1t

DERHAPS the biggest feature in the
L opening day of the four-day tournament
ut Bala was the fact that there were actu-
ally 14s starters, one of the largest fields
that ever played in a Philadelphia golf
tournament and certainly the largest num-
Der Of actual entrants in any tournament
this year. Moreover, 1t is a record for q
nine-hole course that will stand forsa long
time 1t demonstrated that If n club will
offer prizes there is not the least trouble
In the world to get entries. SO far as the
golfers are concerned they are not inter
ested in the value of the prizes hung up by
any club, but when n club expects a hum
dred or more golfers to play for four days
and then get a bit of parchment thanking
the player for his time and interest, there
is nothing doing. Instead. the golfer with
leisure will HE to his own links or go out
ard watch the Athletics or Phillies.
Necessary to Have Prizes
The chap who said that men were but
children Of an older growth, or words to
that effect knew what he was talking
about. You can get the average boy TO do
anything If you hang up before his eyes
some sort or prize or remuneration. Even
work under those conditions appeals to him,
and the same thing IS true of golfers Tho
average golfer does not give a hang If the
prize Is tin whistle, so long as It is some
thing to shoot for. Take any club on a
Saturday afternoon or a Sunday and watch
the players as they wait on the first tee
to get away, and you will find that every
four-ball match has something on. Either
II Is a ballsome or a syndicate, or It is SO
much hole, and even If these things are
not at stake there Is always the check at
the nineteenth hole 70 be played for or the
caddie fees. But it is certainly some task
getting 14s golfers away In time. The lob
Is harder on nine-hole course than on an
eighteen, for there must be periods in be-
tween so that the players have time to
double up over the links, And then ip

TNOR some reason unknown. Frank Bag
l. ley, manager. Of Willie Jackson, wired
Matchmaker Bobby Gunniss of Shibe Park,
today that the New York lightweight would
be unable to come here for his scheduled
bout with Ever Hammer. Of Chicago, next
Wednesday night Rather than disappo:nt
the public it has been decided to cancel
next weeks show, and on the following
Wednesday night. August 22. Johnny Mealy
and Johnny Dundee will appear in the fea-
ture fracas. Gunniss today showed return
wires from Baltimore and Buffalo relative
to attempts to get George CLANCY OF Rocky
Kansas TO visit Philadelphia for a bout
with Hammer. The Baltimore reply stated
that the Knockout King was vacationing at
the mountains and that the time was too
short in which to get into shape. Kansas
answer was in the negative with no alibi.
Hammer leaves in q few days for Denver,
Col, where he will box Fighting Thorpe
twenty rounds to a decision August 20.
Then he also has bout In Kansas City for
Labor Day, after which the Chicagoan will
return to Philly and mako his home here
for an indefinite period
TANNER has announced his willing
IL ness to represent Philadelphia on
crusade for the lightweight title. His
only appearance here proved him to be
an ever-hammering Ever Hammer. and
none Of the topnotchers will have cinch
scraps with him.

A YOUNG ball player, who writes that nc
~ Is twelve years old, desires bit OF In
side information, or outside information, on
tho wav Cobb bats-what his style is and
how he goes about it,
The style which suits Cobb may not suit
some one else. For Tyrus tho Terrible has
style of his own.
In gripping the bat Cobb places his right
hand at the extreme lower end Of the war
| club His left hand is held at least six,
or eight inches above his right. Most ball
players either grip with both hands to-
gether at tho Iowet end of the bat, or else,
IL their hands are held apart, grip the club
several inches from the knob. Willie Keller
had the most extreme style in this respect,
as Willie grpped almost at the middle of
the bat. In place of bracing himself with
his feet well apart, Cobb stands with his
heels almost together, only a few inches
part Then as the ball comes up he steps
forward, with his right foot on almost a
straight line toward the box. He never
steps away, and, once the pitcher starts his
wnd-up, Cobbs eye is never shifted from
the ball. :
Keep your eye on the ball" is an old
golf maxim. 1t is equally applicable to
baseball.
As for Attitudes
Mike Donlin, one of the greatest hitters
OF them all, figures that the right mental
attitude is Of far more Importance than any
style Mt bat.
When you go upI' says Mike, walk I'D
with a confident chesty look, as If you ex-
pected to murder the first one in reach The
minute the pitcher sees a man loaf UP with
his pep gone, the pitchers confidence in
creases, He doesn't like to see fellow
come up with the old basehit look in his
eye. When Harry Mccormick started UP to
bat his whole attitude seemed to be T'L
bet that guys nervous out there 1t never
occurred to Mccormick to be nervous A
disheartened batsman or a disheartened
team encourages the other club to play far
better ball. Many a pitcher has looked good
because the batter quit first--barely beat
ing the pitcher to it,"
a NOncombatant Opines
Dear Sr-I have no objection to Benny
Leonard not enlisting. That part of 1t is up
TO Benny. What 1 and many others do object
to is all the press agenting and advertising
Benny got when it was declared day after
day that he was to enlist at once. To use
patriotism as part of an advertising
scheme for prizefighters is another matter,
If Leonard had no intention of enlsting

CAMOUFLAGE

Camoufiage is a new word which
has come into our language along
with many other new words because
of the war. The French are respon-
sible for this new word, which means
the Disgusting of batteries, piles of
ammunition, cannon, depOts and 9TH
er war materials, SO that they will
blend with the landscape and be in
visible to aviators This disguise ap-
plies to the soldiers also. The Brit
ish and French sharpshooters paint
their hands and faces to resemble
their hiding places. A sharpshooter
concealed in a tree looks so much like
it that it is impossible to distinguish
him at few yards distance.
Some of Americas leading artists
have Joined battalion of camouflage
This battalion will be divided into
companies for each field division of
the American army. 1t is estimated
that many men were lost at the be-
ginning of the war because of a lack
of concealment on the part of the
British and French soldiers. White
kid gloves, bright swords and helmets
proved to be good targets for snipers
and sharpshooters. Camouflage was
not developed at that time, but at the
present time concealment means
much.
