Old Man Satan Calls Fore"
But Kaiser Refuses to Duck

A most timely poster was
auctioned Off at the Philadelphia
Cricket Club recently, when
Mrs. Ronald II. harlow, Miss
Elaine RosenthaI. Miss Alexa
Stirling. Miss Mildred Cavcrly,
Max Marston, Cameron II. Bux-
ton. Perry Adair and Bobby
Jones took part in four ball ex-
hiSition matches for the Req
Cross. William WfIlett drew
the picture, which depicted the
kaiser playing golf with Satan
rs his caddie. A player has inst
driven from the eighteenth tee,
and although he has been
warned by the cry of "fore,"
the kaiser has taken no notice
of 1t, and as n consequence he
fx struck on the back of the
head. The drawing is said to
illustrate exactly the situation
on the western front. A syndi-
cate of members from the
Philadelphia Cricket Club
bought the poster for $3.50.
Incidentally, before the
matches started, letter from
Norman Maxwell was read
aloud, deplOring his absence be-
cause of Doctors orders. Max
well was originally picked to
play with Miss Cayerly, and he
wrote a note of regret to the
committee, at the same time
enclosing a SIS check for the
fund.

appeal for more homo newspapers for
the American soldiers in camps and
hospitals in Great Britain, issued by

RUTH'S HOME RUNS.
Great Publicity Seems to Have
Stopped Babes" Hitting Streak.

Babe Ruth finished the month of
June with eleven home runs to his
credit, and he finished up the regular
season on Labor day with those same
eleven homers, no more. An odd
feature about Ruth's performance is
that he was not played regularly up
to the time he developed the home
run fever in June. He clouted eight
for the circuit in that one month and
was played regularly through July
and August without hitting a home
run. Ruth hit his home runs in clus-
ters. Three came between May 4
and Z, four between June and 5, an
ocd one on June Is and then three
more between June 25 and June 80.
He got three against New York. three
against Washington, three against
Detroit, one against Cleveland and
one against ST. Louis. None of the
homers was hit at Fenway Park
Two were made off Walter johnson,
two off Allen Russell and one each
off Mogridge, Erickson. Dauss, James,
Enzmann, Rogers and Harper.

Tyler Pitches Today.
One angle of the dope which it
seems assured will not go wrong is
that George Tyler will be sent into
face the Boston willow wielders this
afternoon. 1t originally was agreed
by the wiseheimers that Mitchells
two southpaws would bear the brunt
of the hurting burden, and this still
holds good Vaughn's splendid show
ing yesterday strengthens the belief.
The fact that Joe Bush warmed up
with Ruth before the game yesterday
and in the closing innings worked
hard down in the bull pen would seem
to indicate that Barrow has eliminated
him as a possible starter and intends
to use either Mays or Jones today.
But your guess is as good as that of
another. Pick your own pitchers.

this afternoon.
In passing it should be remarked
that Everett Scott ran true to form
in furnishing the feature play of the
initial battle. His one-handed stop
and throw of. Vaughn's vicious crack
in the seventh gave him much merited
applause.
Yesterdays battle was a splendid
exhibition of the national pastime,
much more so than the usual run of

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

CHICAGO, September Gall the
dope points to Carl Mays as the
pitcher to oppose the Cubs today in
the second clash of the base bali
classic. This being the case. Joe
Bush or Sam Jones probably will get
the call.
Before the battle yesterday the ex-
perts were divided as to whether it
would be Mays or Bush who would
work for the Sox. About the only
thing they were agreed upon was that
it was extremely improbable that
Ruth would work. Babe throws
base balls with his left arm ex-
clusively and the Cubs just dote on
southpaws hurting. Yeh, there wasn't
one chance in ten that Ruth would
be nominated for slab duty. He was
to cavort in the garden and confine
himself to hammering out home runs.
But Ruth did pitch. Furthermore,
he did a very neat job of it. But he
not only failed to get any home runs.
He didn't even get anything that re-
sembled hit, lifting an easy fly to
Paskert the first time up and fan
ming, to the great glee of the crowd,
on his other appearances at the plate;
on three pitched balls. Further PROOF
of the fallacy of "experting' is fur
nfshed in the case of Hugh Fullerton.

Kink In the Dope.

The first named worked Vaughn for
the nrst pass he issued. and White
man, with q hit placed him In a
nosition to tally on McInnis' safety.
Here again there was a. kink in the
dope. Mitchell, hailed as genius In
the direction of field play, failed to
take into account Stuffy:s batting
idiosyncrasies. The Cub gardeners
we're not swung around far enough
toward left field and they played away
too deep. Properly placed, Mann
would lust about! have nabbed the
short fly McInnis inserted to tally
the only run of the encounter.
Although beaten, Vaughn justified
all the nice things said about his
prowess. No pitcher can win when
his teammates fail to get single
run for him. McInnis' hit in the
fatal fourth" inning, which played
such a prominent part In the fall
classic last season, was the last the
Sox obtained off the Cub southpaw.
In the last five rounds but two Boston
batsmen got on the sacks, both by
passes in the ninth, and one of these
purposely was parceled out to the
dangerous McInniS when mate OF
his was perched on second.
Ruth's performance fully rewarded
the confidence Manager Barrow placed
IN n1m Els sterling apllty was
strikingly demonstrated on the three
occasions he was threatened. The
Cubs should have been retired in or
der in the opener, when, with two
hands dead, Mann's grounder took a
bad hop over Shean's head. Paskert's
clean single to left sent Mann to sec
ond. Ruth then elected to walk
Merkle, q right-handed hitter, to get
Pick. and the wisdom Of the course
was shown when the southpaw bats
man lifted an easy fly to Whiteman.
