Kunz admitted yesterday that it is

and the folks went home to supper

for Bridgeport but as Portland SEEM

Lennon to the mound in the third.
He was unsteady but managed to hold

New York, July 13.-Christopher

the Polo Grounds yesterday. They
took the first one 2 to and the sec

The Giants now have dropped five
out of the last six battles in which
the Reds were their opponents. The
last time they were in the West, in
that historic series presided over by
Byron and Quigley, Matty's men took
three games out of four.
Terdie Schupp pitched the opening
conflict yesterday and should have
won it easily Unfortunately his sup

meath a fat mans heel The Giants
literally threw this, game away.
The Reds highly deserved to win
the second engagement, as they hit
the pitching of Pol Perritt hard,
while the home team could do little
with the offerings Of Pete Schneider.
Strangely enough the victories Of
the visitors were not highly unpopu-
lar with the home rooters. 1t is said
that the memory of baseball fan is
about as long as a bulldogs nose,
but Matty was a baseball Idol here
for too many years lightly to be for

University of Pennsylvania track
team for the past year, has been re-
engaged for term Of two years. He
will not only look after the track
team in the future but will handle the
football men as well.
Robertson was in town yesterday
and left last night for. the military
encampment at Plattsburg,. where he
will remain for a month. He has re-
ceived a commission to take charge
of athletic activities at the camp.
Robertson's work at Penn was the
sole factor which resulted in the
move which led to his commission to
take charge of athletic activities at
Plattsburg. His duties at the training
camp, will, for the. most part, have
to do with supervising athletic activ-
tiles with an eye to improving the
endurance, speed and general physi-

LUCKY JOHN ,EyE,Rs.

Now that Johnny EverS has passed
from Boston to Philadelphia, the
critics are beginning to figure out
how much Evers made when he was
member of the Braves. He joined
that club in 1914, after he had been
released by the Cubs. The war with
the Federals was just beginning and
organized ball did not wish to have
Evers jump to the outlaws. So he
received bonus of $4,000 for. sign
ing with the Braves and contract
calling for $4,000 a year.. He was
also to receive a bonus the amount
depending upon whether Boston fin
dshed first, second or third
It is estimated that Evers made
SAL, 900 in 1914 and although the
Braves did not win any pennants in
1915 or 1915 Eyers collected on his
contract. He has been OF little use
TO Boston this year and the Braves
were probably. glad to unload him
on the Phillies. Including his long
career with the Cubs, baseball has
been very kind to Evers. He took
part in three worlds series with
Chances men and must have sailed
away a generous slice of coin. So
the wolf can howl himself black in
the face at Evers' door and Johnny
will never bat an eye.

PLAY AT SECOND

Philadelphia, July 13-Johnny
Evers, former captain of the Boston
National League club, yesterday clos
ed a deal whereby he becomes a mem
Der of the Philadelphia Nationals. He
will play second base, beginning next
Monday. displacing Bert Niehoff.
The deal was a simple proposition,
according to announcement by Mans
ager Patrick Moran, of the PhiladeI-
phia club, the local management
merely assuming Evers's contract,
which expires at the end Of the pres
ent playing season
It is understood the contract with
Boston called for 5000 year, and
provided that Evers could not. be
transferred to another club without
his consent
Evers has been on the disa biIity list
for some time. When Evers learned
that the Philadelphia club was will
ing to take him he arranged for a CON
ference with Moran and convinced the
Philadelphia manager that he was in
condition to get intoY the game.
