PILLS ARE GOING
LIKE HOUSE AFIRE
Nothing Ails Moran's Club,
Says Innis Brown, of
New York
CRAVATH IN GREAT FORM

Whereas a week ago Philadelphia fans
were muttering an anxious query as to
what allied Pat Moran's Phillies, just now
the Quakers are fairly we'll convinced that
nothing material ails the troupe, says Innis
Brown, of New York. This change of atti-
tude has been brought about largely through
the highly efficient work which the Phillies
have done in their last five engagements.
Briefly they have gained five victories in
a row.
What is more to the point. this string
of victories has been established at the
expense of the Giants and Braves. Six
games were played in the two series. The
Giants won the first. and the Phillies
then proceeded to take the next two from
the Giants. as well as three straight from
the Braves. on every dope sheet the two
opponents vanquished in this run have
been figured front runners for the National
League race.
The Philles are encouraged by two fea-
lures of play to date in their winning
streak. First and foremost. old Cactus
Cravath has been going like a house afire.
Not since the old boy finally came into
prominence after years of failure as big
Lacquer has he rendered more valuable
service for the club. He is hitting at a
terrific clip now and his all-round play has
been put to his best form.
Then, too, Erskine Mayors work in last
Thursdays game, when he won from the
Braves, offers encouragement to Morans
staff OF pitchers. Last season Mayer was
decidedly erratic proposition. He really
was Of little service to the club. But the
preceding year, next to Alexander he was
the most valuable man on Moran's staff.
If Mayer can deliver as well as he did in
1915 he will form, together with Alexander,
Rixey, Lavender and Oeschger, a decidedly
high-class staff for Moran.

JOE OIL SIGHS, AS
A'SCALL OFF FRAY
Threatening Weather Pre-
vents Clash With Yankees
at Shibe Park
FALKENBERG WAS READY
BY ROBERT w. MAXWELL

Another ball game faded into the distance
this afternoon from which It will emerge
later In the season disguised as the other
part of q double-header, This makes two
postponemcnts in as many days, giving the
weather man a perfect average Of 1000,
fringe OF mourning extended over Shibe
Park when the sad news was spilled at
high noon. Elongated Cy Falkcnberg. with
his ancient but Woodworking soupbone In
battle trim. stalked around with fire in his
eye. impatient to hurl his slants at some
body and lay them low. Wally Schang
shook the dew drops out of his hrsute
crop beneath the nostrils, and Stuffy Mcr
Innls waved his war club, daring the world
at large TO prevent him from getting an
other hit and spelling his record Of fifteen
stright games without missing bingle.
The home town boys were in fine fcttle
and IL was a shame to waste their energies
in n movie show,
Up in the office the gloom was thick
enough to cut with a knife. Joe Ohl, the
hard-working hut extremely efficient Sec
retary. allowed his face to drop several de-
grees as he counted the dark watery clouds
which persisted IN hanging around the ball
park, He shuddered as he awaited the
cracking of those clouds in n moist vulner-
able spot.
"Tant right" he muttered, as he shook
an imaginary wrinkle out OF his quiet black
and white checked suit. Nobody can tell
what's gonna happen these days. Last year
we played in hurricanes. typhoons. cloud
bursts, transforms. deluges and everything
else except a snowstorm and blizzard but
times have changed Yes, times have
changed. You can't get away with nothing
this year.
Here is the dope" continued Mr.. Oil
pensively. Sometimes they do and some-
times they don't Last season we couldn't
play well enough to keep out of the rain,
so we played. That made us very sore but
the other clubs liked IL. 1t counts just as
much In the percentage colum whether the
sun is shining or the players are risking
their lives on the high seas and taking a
| chance on drowning. But, as / said before,
times have changed. This season we want
to grab few watery battles and they won't
let us. 1t amt even msting today. but
there is nothing doing. This is the life, ,"
And Joe patted his cravat as he stalked
majestically out of the office.
The two days lay-off will have bad
effect on both clubs, as the men need as
much work as they can get these days. Bad
weather has put them back considerably
and some Of the players are in worse shape
than they were in the training camp.
The battle will be resumed on Monday
and Falkenberg will do the sharpshooting.
| Bill Donovan hasn't decided on who he will
use against the maulers.

GRABBING THE MAZUMA GOOD
FOR WELSH'S POCKETBOOK, BUT
SAD REFLECTION ON BOXING GAME
Kilbanes Great Work in Recent Bout Nullified
by Methods Calculated to Soon End English
mans Championship Reign
BY GRANTLAND RICE

THREE years ago this coming summer
l. Freddie Welsh assumed charge Of the
lightweight throne.
Freddie achieved his scepter by out-tap-
ping Willie Ritchie, and since that melee no
one has been able to catch up with Freddie
and evict him from the top.
All through the three championship years
Welsh's method has been very fine thing
for Welsh. but a very depressing thing for
sport. With Freddie IL has been In the
main case OF merely getting-and letting
II go at that.
Queer Spectacle
A few nights ago ring followers were
treated TO an astounding spectacle. They
sat and watched the lightweight champion
rushed and battered around the ring by
the featherweight title holder, who, in turn.
was giving away nine valuable pounds.
Welsh at 1879 pounds was mark and n
target for Kilbane at 1870 pounds, and the
lighter smaller man was forced to do most
Of the rushing and leading to make any sort
Of fight out of Il.
Yet this KilbaneWelsh affair was a
worthy example. illustrating Welsh's ability
to remain on top.
Why Welsh Is Still Champion
This fight showed plainly enough just
how and why 1t is that Welsh is still cham
plon.
lie is still champion because he refuses to
indulge in the slightest risk--to take the
slightest chance.
In that affair with Kilbane Welsh was
content to paw forward with his left hand
and then rush to a clinch
Always well covered, he ducked to cover
at the first opening. hanging on and holding
with no unprotected spot left vacant.
For purely defensive measures this
method was all very we'll. But 1t left only
one man to do the fighting.
why shouldn't Welsh play 1t safe?" you
may ask
Simply for the reason that there Is no
credit and vast amount of discredit In a
bigger man having a smaller man rush and
maui him about. A champion who has nine
pounds to spare and who then makes his
lighter opponent do all the fighting isn't
-~ry much of a champion.
The proper type of lightweight champion
would have risked his title in an open
head-on battle before he would have per-
mitted featherwelght to do all the fight
ing--to handle all the rushing and the
leading. Welsh is the one who should have
