PHILAIES TREAT REDS
TO DOUBLE DEFEAT;
RIxEY SHOWED under

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 27.-The
Phillies came back strong against the
Reds Wednesday by winning both
games of the double-header. The first
victory was by a score of IL to Z.
Rxey, the Cincinnati pitcher, who did
the hurting for the Reds in the hrst
game, suffered his first defeat in nine
straight contests. He was wild at times
and was hammered hard, but his sup
port was discouraging. The Reds were
unable to beat the string of mediocre
moundsmen which the Philies sent
against them.
The Moranmen, reinforced with John
Gillespie on the mound, started out TO
win the second fracas, but were un-
successful. It was a fine pitching bat
tie, George Smith doing the hurting for
the Phillies. All went we'll for the
Reds until the last half of the ninth.
They had a, two-run lead and it looked
like a win for Cincy, when lie Bour-
veau went in to bat for Rapp and clout-
ed homer and tied it up.
Three Scoreless Rounds.
Then followed three fierce, score
less rounds and the thirteenth looked
as though it was going the same way
until Fletcher, tho Quaker shortsLop
got hold of one of Gillespie's slants
and poled it into the left field seats
for the circuit and the victory.
The circuit clouts which the Phillies
were lucky enough to register were
responsible for the two defeats. The
two homers chalkcd up by Cliff Lee
the PhilIies' first baseman, were re
sponsible for six of the Quakers' l.
tallies in the first bout. The four
base hits of lie Bourveau and Fletch

Williams Gives Up
Home Run Ambitions


CHICAGO, July 27.-Kenneth Will
liams, outfield star of the ST. Louis
Americans, is sacrificing his ambition
to be the leading home-run hitter of
the American league this season be-

This was the statement today OF
Walter Fritsch, vice president of the
st. Louis club, here to attend the

said that Williams. in his desire to
establish the home run record for the

is THIS THE ANSWER

Base stealing has become a lost art
mainly because ther's no longer so
many opportunities for it," insisted
Cap Adrian Anson, among the last
baseball utterances of his lifetime.
statistics show that the boys of to-
day are stealing many hundred bases
less per season than they did five
year ago. Many persons think it is
because the players of this era are
slower than those of 1917, 1915, 1912
and thereabouts. l disagree with
them
MY thoughts is that base stealing
slumped when the "lively ball" came
into play and will be revived when
the old style ball is in use again.
"A few years ago the men who
cracked out doubles, triples, and hom-
ers, were rarities. The most that the
majority got was a single. That made
! it necessary for them to attempt a
! steal to reach second base. And, OF
course, they made many attempts with
the result that they rolled up a big
stolen base total.
! Nowadays the worst a man usually
/ gets when he hits the ball is a double
It's mighty difficult to steal third and
| it's tried but seldom. So all the two
base hitters naturally can be elimin
ated from possible base stealers.
! The same thing goes for the mer
who triple or smash out homers. It's
folly for the former to try to stea,
home and the latter crowd don't have
to. So there you are"
| "The day long distance decreases
and men get back TO the normal one
base hit scheme of life, is the day wher
base stealing will do its comback'

OLD TIME TACTICS VS.. NEW


81 find it a bit difficult to under
stand some of the methods of baseball
play at the present time declares
Billy Murray, scout for the Pirates,
who started as a player 40 years ago
l and has been player, manager or scout
ever since.
in my day we used to wait out a
pitcher. Nowadays the batters go up
and play the first or second ball
pitched
Our program in the old days was
to refuse to hit until it was absolute
| ly necessary. We wanted the pitcher
to work himself tired as early as pos
sible. If he threw only six to eight
balls an inning we knew we couldn't
weary him enough to make batting
rally in the last two or three innings.
ITO accomplish our purpose of tir-
| ing out the pitcher we used to foul off
as many as we could. The man who
by fouling could force the rival pitch
| er to throw four to eight balls while
he was at the plate was regarded as
having accomplished great thing for
our team.
i With each man forcing the pitcher
to throw an average of six balls for
his every time at bat, it meant that
along about the seventh the pitcher
had tossed from 120 to 200 balls plate
ward. That naturally tired his arm
I He'd weaken bit in speed; falter q
! little in control. Then we'd jump on
him.
But now most of the boys go ur
and hammer the first ball pitched
, Times without number I've seen pitch
J ers retire side with from six to II
pitches. That meant that in the sew
enth the pitcher had thrown only from
, 40 to so or 20 balls and his arm still
/ was strong enough to enable him tt
pitch with full steam all the rest o.
the way and successfully halt every
final effort attack"

SAYS BOXERS FEET
SUREST BAROMETER
TO HIS CONDITION
BY FRANK C. MENKE

"a boxers feet are the surest baro-
meters in the world as to his condition
while training for fight, or while in
battle declares "Gentleman Jim" Cor
bett.
when fighter is in good shape he
finds no trouble prancing around on
his toes. But while he is out of con-
dition or when he has gone stale, his
big muscles are first to register dis
tress. They fail to give the real sup
port, lack the natural elasticity. and
springiness and, as a consequence the
boxer must work on the flat of his
feet.
When the battle starts, watch the
feet of the fighters. Keep watching
them. While, each is still shifting
around mainly on his toes, neither is
in any real danger no matter how
tough a pounding he may be taking
around the head or body.
But the minute one of them drops
to the flat of his feet-and stays that
way-is the minute you can be GER
tain that fellow is in bad way and
liable to be fIoored with each new
blow"
