For two weeks the Phladephans trained hard and
very popular with the Englshmen They received
wonderful treatment, and before they left made
honorary members Of the Leander Boat Club the first
time Americans had been honored.
'It a wonderful place" said Dempsey. THE
English thorough sporsmen and made things pleasant
for They over the race however, for
they knew we would give them hard fight and had
good chance to win.
Rowing the Henley course is like rowing down
Broad street. There enough for two crews and
used to ride horseback when coaching the men.

We the first from Christ College by several lengths
but on the second day drew Leander. That was
great race. We made mistake in rowing to the start
ing point and waiting In the hot for half hour
while our opponents arrived
The two crews rowed the entire mile and $50
yards neck and neck, and Leander won by matter of
inches

Good and Bad Pitching
GOOD and bad pitching caused the defeat of the Phs
~ in the initial tilt of the cellar championship series
Yesterday The good pitching perpetrated by Phil
was done by Eppa Jephtha Rxey who apparently had
off day The big lasted until he got generous
in the seventh and then beat for the showers. Walter
Belts, the kid phenom, finished the battle.
There was doubt to who entitled to the
cellar The score-9-1-was lopsided a hobos
heel and it's good thing it was. The Phils got all Of
the bad baseball out of their systems right
in today another winning streak Just the same, it
would have taken pretty clever playing have
qushed the Giants yesterday. Douglas looked better
than before and the home gents couldn't have
hit him with paddle He had lots of speed his splitter
was splitting spitefully and eluded the swishng bats
with ease.
Dave Bancroft made his first appearance in alien
uniform and started all Of the trouble He made the
hit in the first inning and also scored first rum He
teded faultlessly. which is not strange unusual
Banny, however did not make much of hit with the
crowd He evidently has been forgotten Fletcher
is doing well.
The Phils still were in the-running up to the seventh
and then lot of fireworks started The first three men
to face Rxcy hit safely and then Belts tried to stem the
tide or something like that He succeeded in retiring the
side after five had been the Giants
had enough taHies to win a couple of ball games.
TWO games ,cH be played today aud Nc,c York

repeat the performance staged last Saturday, tchen
they took pair from the Cards.

MAYBE it's the hitting, maybe it's
A'A the pitching and maybe it's the
ball, but anyhow there's lots more
whaling of the horsehide and things
like that in the American League than
in the National. A glance at the aver
ages appended will prove this fact.
There are thirty seven players in the
younger circuit who have played in
twenty games or more and are hitting
300 or better. In the National there
are only seventeen. What's the an
swer? Ask an American Lacquer and
he II tell you the hitters are better. Ask
a National League man and he'll tell
you the pitching is better in the n. L.
and that the A. l.. ball is faster.
Rogers Hornsby is setting the pace
for the swatsmen in the National
League with .301, which is .O23 lower
than the average Of George Sislcr, the
American ace. Dave Robertson is the
real second place man with .341.
Cy Williams tops the n. l.. in cir
cult clouts with seven to his credit. ICy
is hitting .301. Casey Stengel is one
point behind. These are the only Phils
in the select class. Jack Rawlings has
come up considerable since he Joined the
Pills. He has an average of .291.
The averages, which include games
played last Wednesday, follow:

Is Tennis Master .,
Tilden is generally recognized as IN,
greatest player in the world on his
'on days. He Is absolute master Of
every stroke In tennis. Whether this Ia
in the final analysis, an asset or a iia
bility is a question. Billy Johnston ba,
four strokes and he wins. Tilden bas
| them all and he loses--sometimes. TEN
mis- experts will have to judge this fot
themselves Many believe that because
he has so many strokes Tilden often
lowers his game because he hesitates as
to which would be the best stroke under
given condition.
Tilden's service is the most sevsro
seen on American courts since the dsvs
when MauSice McLoughlin was at tbo
height. OF his game. There Is nothing
freakish about Bill's delivery. He sim

tempting a return. When he misses
his first service, Bill some times send,
his second with the same binding speed
but more often he slows It up and
this delivery has big, battling break on
1t. Once Tilden's service was being dis
cussed in his presence, and he wa,
finally asked how he did It. "All |
know Is that hit the bali at a poini
back of my head as look up. That's
all | can say" was his answer.
Tilden can play the back \court with
the hest that ever played this style Of
game and at the net equally we'll. He
uses both the regular stroke and fast
chop from the base line. He smasbe,
lobs with the certainty and speed of a
Mclaughlin and his volleying is fast
and well placed. He is particularly
fond of blocking drives at the net with
a cross court cut that is ungettabl.
when he hits it right. In all Of bis
strokes Tilden is seemingly as good on
his backhand as he is on his forehand.
It has often been said that Bill Tilden
can do anything with tennis ball and
racquet, and that about tells the story.
With all of these assets it is not to
be wondered at that Tildcn has played
the wonderful tennis abroad that he
has. and it will be in keeping with his
reputation if it is due largely to his
work that the Davis Cup is returned to
I the United States after visit Of six
years to Australia.

BY ROBERT w. MAXWELL
sports Editor Evening Public Lcdrer

AN EXPENSE account turned in by the late Oscar
IA Thorne manager of the Vesper which raced at
Henley in 1905 responsible for the trouble which has
barred Jack Kelly from the Diamond Scus in England
next month. This expense account closely scrutn-
zed and because there doubt about few of the
items the members Of the suspended for one
year When the English stewards heard about this they
naturally supposed that professional had been sent
over, became peeved and adopted resolution barring all
Vesper entries in the future
Although this happened fourteen years ago. the real
story Of the trip has been published according to
II. b. Hoffman. 1t was Mr. Hoffman who first conceived

Therefore it decided to send the to Henley,

and the only chance was to cross the ocean.
