WILHELM BANGSAT
OLD-T|MERS' DOOR
Shows Plenty Of oId-Time Skill
Pitching Two Innings Against
Reds-PhiIs Lose
MACKMEN SUBDUED AGAIN

This is year of old timers. Babe
Adams and others too numerous to
mention have been going great guns
this season. keeping their teams in the
league. some at the top, and others
from falling out. Right in our midst
we have an old timer who can still
shoot them over the plate with lots
of zip lie IS none other than Kize
Wilhelm. the present manager pitcher
of the Phillies.
After George Smith had been erased
from the greenSwurd by II pinch hitter
in the seventh inning of yesterdays
game, Irv. also known as Kize and
several other mons dcs plumes, essayed
the role of pitcher. Considering the
fact that he il no longer II youngstcr
and that he started playing the na-
tional pastime when many of the
players on his team were still unborn.
the new boss at Broad and Hunting
don streets did extremely well.
One hit came off his delivery in the
eighth without any run resulting. and
in the ninth, II single, n sacrifice and
an iufed grounder that BreNsler beat
ont accounted for run. Wilhelm had
lots on the ball, n sweet curve. not as
speedy AS some of the youngsters
throw. but with enough OF the Ola
break to it to make the buffers Won
der who was twirllng.
The Phillies lost chiefly because Win
ters could not keep the RcdS from
hitting the ball back at him with speed
enough To land in the outtield safe.
During his three inning tenure on the
mound eight snfetieS rolled OIL the
bludgeous Of the Moranmen for total
of four runs. George Smith took up
the burden IN the fourth and until the
seventh was snngged for two runs ana
seven hits.
From the other half of our cellar
inhabitants. who are sojourning uh-
pleasantly in the West, the word comes
that the Browns won the first OF the
series by batting Roy Moore hard.
On the other hand. after the first
Inning, when the As scored twice, they
could do nothing with Urban Shorker.
The final figures read I to =. The
Nocklets had eleven hits, which were
widely scattered after the opening IN
ming, while the Sis!eriteS banged out
fifteen.
The Yanks and the Indians each won
n game yesterday. and this morning re-
veals the same one point difference be-
tween the two teams Carl Mays. tn"
underhand artist. was on the mound
against the Tigers End had little trouble
uuelling his opponents. The best the
automobile city aggregation could do in
the shape of damage was two runs and
eight hits.
TyruS Raymond Cobb, who performs
his mightiest when his team is meeting
the Yanks because of his fcud with
Ruth, had the eagle ON the Babe yes
terday. The Georgian was responsible
for both Tiger runs. He banged ont h
four base ply with one Of his hirelings
on the paths. Ruth failed to hit any
homcrs and also had his batting streak.
which had reached twenty six, broken
by falling to hit in four times at bat.
Mails Coming Back
Duster Mails, who has been of little
value to the champs this season, pitched
his first real game in many weeks yes
tcrday and succeeded in defeating George
McBride's Senators. 6 to g. Mails has
been suffering from a sore arm. and
q fter long rest tried huring them mp.
He failed in his first attempts. and after
doing relief work while said that he
was right.
Yesterday he proved the assertion by
permitting but six hits. The Indians
counted clpHl hBHlnSl ETlCkSOn. VINO has
been hurling brilliant baseball Of late.
The Cardinals kept up their wonder
ful work of the week by again defeat
ing the Braves. Four straight from n
team that was travelling as fast as the
Beancnters were before the arrival in
the Hub of the st. LouIsans means
something. Either that the Cards are
showing the strength expected of them
last June or the men of Mitchell have
shot their holt.
BIN Killifcr's Cubs hit all kinds
of twirlng yesterday and the Dodgers
were buried under 12-to-3 score
Ruether started and was thumped
soundly, while Miljus took his turn on
the mound and received similar treat
ment Seventeen binSlcs rang off the
bats of the Windy City nine. while the
best the men of Robinson could secure
of Speed Martin was seven.
