The old Cubs he would probably be hooted
out of Rooters Row.
Yet the cold, clammy. pallid, uncontro-
vertible figures today show the Reds are
rushing along with the heaviest wallop any
ball club has shown since Cleveland one
wear showed up at md-season with eight
800 hltters, led by Lajoie in his prime.
Some while back a heavy wave of depres-
sion settled over those who esteem the
walop above all other features of the game,
for the rumor was abroad that the good
old DAYS Of slug and swat were about ex-
tinct. The Reds under Mathewson have
revived the ancient glory of the game. For
when they started this weeks onslaught they
had no less than six regulars at 300 or
better-one of the most amazing batting
records of modern play.
Here were the marks early in the week
Clarke, catcher-.350.
ROush, outfielder-.347.
Griffith, outfielder-.314.
Neale outfeder-.306.
Chase, in1elder-.302.
GrOh, infielder-.300.
Most managers are fairly well satisfied
when they have one 800 outfelder daily
ing on tho assignment
Those who have two produce three rous
ing cheers at stated intervals. 1t is only
once IN n decade that manager has three
outtielders over 400 The Yanks have been
looking for one for the last ten years.
The Red Assault
Brief mention has been made before of
the Red attack. But 1t deserves more in
this age of effete batting, when the average
ball player is around .245 or ESQ.
Last year the Reds had but one 300 glow
worm the same being Hal Chase. Roush,
Griffith, Neale and Groh were all under
.270 Clarke was under 240.
But the punch has come upon the Red
company with a compact rush Today they
have made more hits and scored more runs
than any other ball club in either league.
They are we'll out beyond the Giants and
Tigers. the next two most powerful clubs.
They have a club batting average Of .267,
up to the mark Of the old Mackmen and be-
yOnd the drive of the old Cubs.
And with this assault they have in Fred
Toney the leading winner of the year, on
his way to thirty victories. If Toney runs
up this output he will be the first Red
pitcher to get this far in thirty years
The power of the Reds is shown in the
fact that of their last nine games against
the Giants they have won six and lost
three-and they have done the bulk of 1t by
mauling the missile. pounding the pill, swat
ting the sphere or hitting the baseball, just
as you may care to have it put.

Killing Two Golf Birds With One Club

II Is the first time that the two tourna-
ments were ever he'd together. Last year
the Glass Tournament attracted nearly n
hundred entries, while there was an unusu'
ally small field for the Midsummer event.
So the Golf Association of Philadelphia
thought they would kill two golf birds with
one shot this year and hold both tourna-
ments the same week.
Up until last year there was no oppor-
tunity for the higher rated golfers to nave
a tournament all to themselves You must
have a handicap Of ten strokes or less to
play for the city championship or the Geist
cup while if you have not handicap OF
eight strokes or less, you need not come
around 20 the Lynnewood Hall cup tourna-
ment when you begin to count up the
golfers in any club you will find that there
are thirty to fifty men with handicaps Of
eleven strokes or higher to every one with
ten strokes or less. The writer of this
comment persuaded the golf officials to
hold the tournament last year so as to give
this great and growing class of golfers a
chance.
The higher rated player if he happens to
qualify in one Of the bigger events, has as
much chance as the proverOial SNOWFALL,
and If he gets into another and lower flight
the chances are that lower rated player

Russia went out of the war in the
spring of 1917. while America will not
go into the war until the spring of
1919 There is in war, as peace, a
distinction between forms and facts.
Russia has not made peace. but she no
longer fights. America has declared
war, but she hasn't begun to fight.
Russia is so disordered that If she
cannot make war. seemingly she can
not make peace to SUPPLY the Hohen-

death from gnnshot wounds inflicted
by Strause and recommending that
Strause be held without bond for muir
der.
The jury retired at HIS o'clock
and the verdict was returned shortly
afterwards.
The mornings testimony brought
out more important facts:
That Chief of Police Fhoades did
what Strause's friends asked him to
do after Strause had been taken to
police headquarters following the
killing of Mead. and that he did not
notify the states attorneys office and
had no conversation whatever with
the prisoner, was the sensational tes-
timony Of the chief himself before the

The chief said that he sent for the
banks gun at the request of Joseph

peering through the bank window

fired? This is what the coroner would
