HUMBLE PH|LL|ES
PRODUCE THRILLS
Make Triple Play and Klein
Puts on a SIugging Act.
Giants Trim Cards.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

'ooONAoeNA 1908 0pOll 10 NllICis
TINE Phillies may not be headed
any place in particular in the
National League pennant race.
but leave it to that bunch of
hard-hitting youngsters managed by
Burt Shotten to produce some Of the
greatest thrills of the game.
Yesterday they defeated the Chicago
Cubs, IL to 6. which has been done be-
fore, but the manner in which they
accomplished the feat was new.
Chuck Klein. the outf1elder who did
not sign until the end Of the Spring
training camp season. blasted his way
to the top of the league batting aver
ages with his twenty-f1rst home run,
a triple. a double and a single, while
three of his eammates-Mallon. Fri
berg and Bartell-were pulling the first
triple play Of the National League sea-
son.
Philadelphia's victory over the Cubs
featured the National League program
which included the Giants 4-to-3 de-
feat OF the Cards. the conquering of
the Reds by Brooklyn. to /, and the
Pirates second victory Of the series with
the Braves by the score of to /.
Home runs played an important part
in the Giants triumph, which reduced
the champions margin to two and one
half games. Johnny Vergez's tenth cir
cult drive Of the season with Travis
Jackson on base put the Giants out in
front in the fifth. while Lindstrom's
four-bagger added another run in the
sixth. Pepper Martin kept the Cards
in the battle with a home run.
Socks Seibold and Ben Cantwell had
slightly the best of Glenn Spencer as
far as hits were concerned. but the
Pirates punched their six blows. while
Spencer kept the Braves seven safeties
well scattered. holding them scoreless
until the ninth.
The Reds also outhit the Robins 10
to 8, but Joe Shaute frightened up in
the pinches while the Robins held to
the advantage given by Babe Herman's
home run in the first inning
Once again the st. Louis Browns
stepped in and widened the gap between
the Athletics and Griffmen in the
American League. The Browns de-
feated the Griffmen 4 to in a game
cut to seven innings by rain. while the
world champions and Lefty Grove were
eking out a 4-to-3 decision over the
Indians and Wesley Terrell.
1t was the first time Grove and Fer
rel had opposed each other and the
Athletics speed ball artist had slightly
the better of the argument, although
each team got IL hits. Included in
the % hits were eight doubles and
Mickey Cochrane's ninth home run.
The New York Yankees punched four
hits with an error to score three runs
in the third and eventually beat the
Tigers to Q. Art Herring allowed
the Yanks only seven hits, but he
couldn't keep them scattered, while
three double plays helped Herb Pennock
Jack Russell just lasted to let the Bos-
ton Red Sox defeat the Chicago White
SoX, to 3. Until the ninth Russell
had allowed only three hits. but four
safe blows in the last frame were good
for two runs and the tying run was
on base as he forced McKain, a pinch
hitter, to ground out.

and the pitching mound when the
| umpire belatedly halted proceedings
Nallin, nevertheless, had the clubs
wait an hour and half longer before
ofhcially calling it day. A foolish
gesture that wait, because Of the
ground 1t was so drenched when play
was stopped, it was obvious it could
not be resumed during the afternoon.
IT did not take the Nationals long to
get lead off Gray. They hoped
on him in the second inning for two
hits which, with an error. were good
for 2 runs. One was out when Bluege
slashed single to center. then Kuhel
drove the ball to deepest left-center for
triple to push Ossic across. When
Meiillo failed to hold Schulte's return
Joe also tailed.
A third Washington run registered
in the third inning. Then with one out
Harry Rice got his second hit, triple
to about the same spot where Kuhel's
had landed Manush lofted to Bet
tencourt in rather short right, but the
gardener could not apply the brakes
quickly enough after a hard run so
Harry easily got home ahead Of the
throw.

Browns with five successive hits dead
locked the game. Levey handcuffed
Bluege with a sharp drive and pulled
up at second when Gray singled.
Schultz bounced a hit off Marberry's
hands, crowding the stations. Melillo
drilled long single to center, counting
Levey and Gray, while Schultz halted

home, Mellilo to third and Marberry to

Folks Behind
The Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

- OLORED folks in Cuthbert, Ga,
are proud of Fletcher Hender-
son. The younger ones like to
~ recall their school days with
the boy whose orchestra,
broadcast from Harlem regularly over
the Columbia network, gained recogni-
ton throughout the Nation.
Henderson's father and mother were
both musicians and they gave the boy
his first piano lessons at the age of s.
His musical education was continued at
school and when he entered Alabama
University he became. leader of the COL
lege orchestra. In his sophomore year
he became varsity halfback. When the
faculty ordered him to give up music or
foot ball, he dropped the former. For
three years he played on the varsity and
for a time, was first-String pitcher for
the university nine.
Henderson intended to be a chemist.
When he left college with an A. B. and
six years Of chemistry behind him he
headed for New York and Columbia
University, where he intended to con-
tinCe his studies. But part-time job.
to help pay expenses, was the first step
In changing a potential scientist into
an orchestra leader.
The firm of Pace & Handy, music
publishers, engaged him as chief trans
poser and demonstration. When Handy,s
fame as composer Of the st Louis
Blues" proved insufficient to make the
firm a success, Pace left to organize
the BLACK Swan Photograph Corpora
ton" He made Henderson leader of
the "Bliack Swan Troubadours, tour
ing band for advertising purposes After
two years, Henderson transferred to the
Down South" Music Co.. but kept on
making records with the Troubadours.
Recording paved the way for an en-
gagement with the Little Club. A seven
year stay at Roseland Dance Palace fol-
lowed and ended when Henderson's
band was installed at Comics Inn last
Fall. And here Columbia found him.
