‘' D2 = SPITFIRES OF OLD GRAY AND SEDATE Philly Fans Cheer Martin Lustily—Cards Favored to Take Series. | BY WARD MOREHOUSE. HILADELPHIA, October 6.— Ball stars of yesteryear, managers, magnates and| umpires have swarmed into | Philadelphia for the series. | They're blocking traffic in the lobbies and most of them are fatter, grayer and somewhat more sedate than they used to be, Johnny Evers, for instance. The scrappy little infielder who uued’ to take Joe Tinker's lightning) throws and shoot them to Chance is now a dignified and almost portly gentleman. Circle the lobby of the Ben Franklin or the Bellevue-Stratford and you find a ball player for every square ioot of lobby space. Evers is talking with Hans Lobert and Eddie Brannick " joins them. Altrock is_shaking hands with Walter Johnson. Lyn Lary is introduc- | his_pretty wife, Mary Lawler, to| Bill Killefer. Over here you see John McGraw, Rabbit Maranville, Billy Evans and Clarence Rowland; over there Sam Breadon, Joe McCarthy, Bill McKech- nie, Jack Hendricks. And also Senator Thompson of West Virginia, who, they tell me, negotiated the sale of Lefty Grove to Baltimore. ERSONS who know these diamond | greats by sight are pointing them | out to others. A most_ obliging Philadelphian _was touring the hotel lobby with a friend, nudging him and| whispering to him every time they came | abreast of a base ball notable. Near| the elevators he saw a man with a| derby hat and a heavy gold watch/ chain, reading a sporting final. “See that fellow,” he cried excitedly. “That's Hans Wagner, I remember Hans Wagner?” It so happens that the gentleman mistaken for the great Hans was the hotel's house detective. | SOTF he starts walking 'em, gosh help | the A's” said Babe Ruth as Ma- haffey threw three balls to the | first batter to face him.

He was there yesterday, right behind the Cardinal dugout, with his megaphone on his lap. “The presence of the President failed to awe him or silence him. He bellowed out his wisecracks from the first to the ninth, and when Simmons cracked the | ball over the fence, his megaphone al- | most_exploded.

Jake Flewers was at that position | in the second. Sparky Adams started there yesterday and Flowers finished up. “Nothing like giving these A's all we kave, third basemen and all,” chirped | Gabby Street. If Connie Mack doesn't break up his A's, Pepper Martin will. Pepper is l::mmg the A's pitchers like he owned m. ‘When the game started the odds were | 9 to 5 dnd Grove was favorite. Durlngr the American League season those who | backed Grove had to give odds of 2 and 2¥, to 1. Here today the Cardinals were favored in the betting to cop the ¢ series. ‘The odds were 3 to 2. The Philadelphia Bleacherites yes- terday cheered Pepper Martin louder than the fans of his home town and when he came to bat the third time in Philadelphia“he got the greatest ova- tion from a hostile crowd of 30,000 be- stowed upon a first-year player since the world series began to distract the thoughts of men from politics and loss of credit with their bootleggers.

SHIFT A, & USMEETING Mail Vote Takes Convention From Miami Beach to Kansas City. ip BY EDDIE COLLINS, | Captain of the Athletics. HILADELPHIA, October 6.— When any club comes to your own back yard and gives you as neat a trimming as the Cards handed to us yesterday, I ask you, is there much to say? | 1 might go into minute details and try to explain how so and so was out of position, this ball or that was pitched wrong, and this St. Louis man or that one was lucky to hit safely, | | but I don't feel like doing that. | I think Burleigh Grimes deserves all | the credit in the world for going in and pitching & whale of & game, and | we are not going to try to alibi a thing, but are ready and willing to hand it to him. | " Any pitcher who can hold our crowd to two hits must be good. Not only did he limit us to a couple of hits, but we didn’t even hit the ball hard. Pos- sibly the only exception to this was when Miller did get hold of one ball. Sparky Adams handled it so well that | it counted for nothing. This was the play In which Adams hurt his ankle | again, and was forced to retire: Grove was hit hard and often. That is unusual for him. But in order for to win yesterday, he would have to strike out about two dozen | the Cards, the way we were hitting. !

ILADELPHIA, October 6.—We certathly were full cf confidence going into the contest yesterday. Grimes told us before the game he was “right” and we could see that ne was by the way he warmed up. He was serious at first, but after about five minutes he began to take it lightly and we saw that he had everything. when he came over to the bench just before the start he smiled through that | heavy beard and we were sure Man- ager Street had picked the right man | in the right spot. The game, by the way, is the second two-hit game I've played in a world i The last time I was on_ the ing side. That was back in 1921, when I was with the Giants, and Waitd Hoyt, then with the Yankees, beat us on_a couple of hits. Too bad Grimes could not go through with a ro-hitter, but, even so, it's all the same in the standing. We've got We are a game ahead of them and we have the ad- vantage, I think, in pitching for today. They prcbably will come back with Earnshaw, and I guess Street will use Hallahan, who beat Earnshaw last Fri- day.

Now I am not going to say that Lefty pitched poorly to the St. Louis pitcher, or that he let up or held him too cheaply, because he did not. Never- theless, Grimes singled cleanly to right fleld, scoring the two runs, and, I firm- 1y believe, winning the ball game on this very hit. If we had come out of this inning without St. Louis making a run it would have made it an entirely dif- ferent sort of a ball game. It makes for two instead of four runs. The style of play has to be altered entirely. That is why I am convinced that Burleigh Grimes not only held us completely in subjecticn, but, with his bat, w own game on that particular ball.

AR BILLY HOWELL HONORED Golfer Gains One of Few W. & L.| Awards Not Won at scifool. BURR OF COLUMBIA EARNS RECORNITION Makes Shot From Ditch That Brings Him a Par 3 and Some Emoluments. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HERE are lots of ways to make par on a hole on any golf course, and there are plenty of golfers around Washington who win matches be- cause they don’t give up because they have made a bad shot. Over at Washington there is V. C. Dickey, the man who has at- tained the club sobriquet of one who “never gives up,” and at Con- gressional there is Jack McCarron, who always hopes for, and fre- quently gets, the shot that gives him a half on a hole he seemed certain to lose. And out at Columbia there is a new candidate for the hopeful title, in none other than Harry W. Burr, who looks like the late President Wilson, swings from the port side on the tee and through the fairway and talks a good game of golf in addition to playing it. Calvert Bowie tells the yarn that brings Burr into the class df those gents wha never give up. It seems that Burr had been having unusual success in get- ting par on the 145-yard sixteenth hole at Columbia. He had been putting his tee shot on the green with unfailing regularity and getting down in the uisite two putts for his par. when he stepped up to the tee the other day he fully expected to get his par 3, and to bring the point home more impressively to his three col- leagues, he offered them all 2 to 1 he would make a par on the hole. All of them jumped aboard with both feet for the bet, for the sixteenth hole at Columbia is tricky, even though it is not long. Then to make matters worse, Harry bet Bowie that he would put his tee shot on the green, and Bowie climbed on board that one. 8o Burr, loaded down with bets, care- fully took his stance and swung his mashie with that carefree abandon that is the heritage of southpaw golfers. The ball rose in a handsome arc hi above the rough and plumped into t tiny little water ditch that runs in front of the green with a soul-sickening s thud. Now that ditch is only a foot or e | cipitous, and e oian hopes e cipitous, opes g find the ball in a playable lie, But the fates would not have it so. That pill had come to rest in at least 3 inches of water. But was he daunted? Not Burr. He step] down into that ditcn and with & mighty flail of his niblick, he wallo] that pill out on the green, ere he nonchalantly knocked in a 30-foot putt for his par 3, and then, grinning all over, he collected the 2-to-1 bets. ‘The moral, if any, is “never give up.” Mrs. J.

Chips From the Mapleways By Franc: AULIE HARRISON doesn't often have occasion to wear a red face, but if the assistant man- ager of the Arcadia is sporting one tonight, you can bet Brother Joe ceused it to attain the crimson hue. A big laugh was the order in the House| of Harriscn today and in a way it was | Paulie’s fault. It happened like this. “Little Joe” Harrison, the eldest of the Harrison was rolling at the Lucky Strike in a District League match in- volving the Hecht Co. and Fountain Hams. Paulle, next oldest, was a mile or so farther up Fourteenth street, at the Arcadia, to be exact, working under the John Blick colors. A little discussion arose at the Ar- cadia while Brother Joe was aiding and abett] the Hecht Co. cause at the Lucky Strike. The discussion involved the Harrison boys. Paulie and Youngest Brother “Ouncie” were listeners, but modestly silent. Finally Paulle spoke up: “The kid here is going to be the best bowler of the family and don't you think different. He's got a nice ball, knows where he's throwing it and keeps plugging away. He can whip Joe and myself plenty of times.” Meanwhile, oldest brother Joe was rolling with Hecht Co. Joe is a top- notch bowler himseff, with a reputation around the alleys as being “tough lit- tle guy to beat.” But he never made the headlines Paulle did nor those Paulie predicted for little “Ouncie.” M Strike, burned a little but it's not important. The fact of the matter is that while Paulie was allowing as AYBE the ears of Joe, at the Lucky “Any loose impediment may be removed from the putting green by hand or with the club, irrespective of the position of | putting together strings of 154, 12 is E.

Last year in the opening match of the District League, he rolled 432 with Northeast Temple to help that outfit to establish a record of 1,891. There's a laugh coming to Paulie with Joe's regards, all right; or does it put “Ouncie” in an unenviable position, what with giving him that more to |shoot at if he means to threaten the records of that pair of bowling broth- ers of his? Both? 'HEN there was Maxie Rosenberg chipping in a good word for Jee after the match at the Lucky Strike. Maxie started off by complain- ing that he was too fat to roll good duckpins. He followed this up by say- ing he had spent all of Sunday after- | noon chopping wood in an effort to | reduce. ‘Then. as Maxie finished his third | milkshake of the evening and opened |an attack on a stack of fig -bars, he | sald, “Keep your eyes on Joe this year | That boy's going to roll over 120.
