FRIDAY BAD DAY
FOR PALS WHEN
SAINTS STARTED
Epperson, With Crippled
Hand, Sacrificed to
. Clamor

Gordon Epperson was sacrificed on
she altar Of sentiment Friday after
Noon when he was sent in to pitch
against the state league champions
with Il slisiointed middle finger, the
one on which he depends most to
make the ball break and the Pals
lost by the one-sided score of Y to ).
In the collection of hits gathered off
Epperson were three fOur-base blows
which the Saints can add to their
seasons collections, and these made
the score lopsided despite the fact
that the visitors only secured one
more hit than did the Pals. Two hit
batsmen and three bases on balls,
with an error or two tossed in open
, ed the way for the ten runs scored
while Epperson was kept at the task.
Lew Barstow took up the burden IN
the sixth and, after that inning, held
the champs scoreless and hitless.
EppersOn was advised by physl-
sian not to attempt to pitch a game
until his finger had been rid of at
least some of the soreness, and when
he went in to appease popular clam
or he had nothing. He pitched him
self into hole and then had to
straighten them over the pan for the
walloping Saints to crack. 1t was
slaughter.
Shotgun Wilson, pitching for the
Saints, was in excellent form and
kept his hits well scattered until the
ninth when a single by Peters, dou-
bic by Larzo and a sacrifice fly by
Gonzalez scored two runs. But the
rally didn't reach.
Scott, who was an easy victim fol
both Lucas and Craig, led the Saints
in hitting, but Moore and >Bigelow
did the clouting, Moore scoring two
nome runs and Bigelow one. Robin

At least the Pals maintained their
reputation for hitting during the Sc
ries, garnering a total of twenty
eight hits to twenty for the Saints,
although the champs used theirs to
better advantage, making total of
seventeen runs to our nine.
Many of the local fans are not sat
isfied that the Saints have the best
club and believe that with Epperson
back in form and Lucas and Craig
going like they are going now the
Pals can trim them. We would like
to see it tested.

first inning was the only one he
made during tn eseries that cost any

From Manager Bradley on through
the entire rostes the Saints are to be
commended for their splendid sports
manship and gentlemanly bearing on

perhaps the longest ever hit on the
local field. It hit the extreme top OF

New York, June 9.-Steve O'Neill
of the Cleveland Indians, one of the
best catchers in baseball and an OBJ
servant gent as we'll, claims to, have
discovered the secret of the Athlet-
ics' astonishing form reversal. He
doesn't blame it.on any of the pitch
ers, nor does he mention Bing Mil
ler, Pop Young, Doc Johnston or
Connie, the elongated Mack.
Danny Murphy, ex-outhelder and
present coach of the outfit, gets
Steve's ballot as the man who has
as much to do with Bing Miller's
home runs as the Bing person him
SELF ..
"He stands out there on the third
base coaching line" quoth Steve,
"and tips off the hitter on every
pitch. Without fail he tips the fast
one, the curve and the splitter, and
all the batter has to do is to set him
self and let fly"
Old stuff, Steve. Danny Murphy,
in collaboration with Harry Davis,
was doing that 10 years ago, when
the Athletics could muster cham
pionship ball club. Off and on both
have continued to do it since, but
until recently the Athletic hitters
failed to profit by the system.
Davis and Murphy flashed them
what was coming right enough, but
that let the two sign-stealers out.
They couldn't walk down to the
plate and make the hitters hit.
In the old days the Athletics had
Eddie Collins, Frank Baker, Stuffy
McInnes, Eddie Murphy, Strunk,
Oldring, Schang and other sincere
hitters. All have since gone their re-
spective ways, and it may have been
noted that they never hit as well
elsewhere as they did in Philadel-
phia. Perhaps this depreciation was
brought about by the advancing
years Of some of the players, but un-
doubtedly they missed the co-opera-
ton of the two tipsters.
Harry Davis no longer patrols the
coachers' box, picking signs out of
the air to pass on to less discerning
individuals, but Murphy is still
about the premises. He can and un--
doubtedly does tip the hitter as to
what is on the way. and, of course,
the advantage is tremendous.
Yet, as pointed out previously, it
takes good hitter to get away with
a $50 average no matter what the
conditions may be- Murphy's system
