But of late years these bewildering upheavals have seemed to come with increasing frequency. Take a few [ate counts: 1913—Frdncis Ouimet beat Vardon and Ray. 1914—The Braves came from last piace in July and won a world series in four straight games.’ 1914—McLoughlin - beat Wilding and Brooks on successive afternoons; Williams beat McLoughlin and Church beat Williams. But even these twists are not more phenomenal in their way, than the double return of Walter J. Travie and Jerome D, Travers, in American golf. The Double Rewurn. Travis had won the Briush cham- once and the American amateur title four times.. Thousands of people have always got their names mixed through a striking stmilarity of wording and through a striking simi- larity in the achievements of the two players. Yet when 1915 came it was gen- erally agreed that both had about seen their last years of glory: ravis, at 53, through the Call of Time, the Eternal --and Travers from less active par- ticipation in tho game 2go there was not even a raint flicker of a thought that Travis could beat Travers and Kirkby in succession and win ancther Metropolitan—or that Travers could even come within the first ten in a medal test with the best of all fields in competition. 8o it was a most striking vagary or whim of Fate that the Two Pravs should cirele back upon the highway and return to fame almost together. Fine Examples. Just as the uphill battle of the Rraves was, so is the ' return of Travers and Travis a fine example for all dabblers in this transitory exist- long ruling names | Three weeks ! LIGHT Grantlend Rice ence sometimes known as Life. They have proven again that as | long as an entry sticks to the battle | line and keeps on fighting, there is always a chance—that tinere are no cdds that are hopeless for the con- tender willing to put his nand to 1.heel plough, the mashie, the bat or the racket and move forward with the | proper spirit. Travers at Baltusrol in a medal test 1ound over 72 holes had nv part of a | chance, of course. Yes Travers is cpen golf champion of America. | Dicg Rudolph last season only lost 10 out of 42 games. So far he has lest 8 out of 13. Quite a difference. The Shift of Names. Early this spring’there - was siderable chit-chat and such over| | various pitching names where strength or weakness was to play a big part in the seasom’s vount. For the most part tnése mames came from the recognized flelds of stardom—aAlexander, Tesreau, James, Jludolph, Leonard, Johnson and such. But there was nothing in the Dope Anthology to suggest that among the * four leading pitchers for late June there should be registered a Mr., Ma- maux, a Mr. Faber and a Mr. Mayer, ! bracketed on almost even terms with Alexander the Greatest. How, Indeed? Dear Sir: In /Rochester, New Hampshire, there is a man who re- joices in the: name of U. Ivory Bean. How it is scouts roving and con- roaming the country have overlooked this material, : who has ‘proven, evén in his name, ' circles | that he belongs in baseball Where is the famous Sinister Dick Kinsella with such an opening ahead C. R., Rochester, N. H. Another Reason, There was a time wnen the Giants led all leagues around the bases— ! beses than Doyle, | Lobert, - Burns, ! so happens that the National league , develop exactly the proper spirit and | stamina among the survivors to face that countiess baseball | when among the first ten base pilfer- | ers there were always to be found at | Jeast five New York exponents of the mercury-winged dash But a vast change has come over the operations of the old days. This season Ty Cobb alone has siolen more 13 INNING GAME combined. And when one can out-| range eight men there must be as much of a lapse on one side as there is greatness on the other. Cobb has stolen 40 bases so far, and the eight Ciants named have stolen 36, Catching Strength. “Cobb,” says an ecxchange, “could never steal as many bases in the Na- tional league as he is getting away with in his own circuit.” Perhaps not. And then again, per- haps yves. A stolen base to Cobb is merely a matter of travelling ninety feet. There may be a slight advan- tage but no great edge with Archer, Hresnahan, Snyder, Gowdy, Meyers, Killifer, Dooin, etc., thrown against Schalk, Schang, Agnew, Cady, Ain- smith, McKee and others. It merely Phillies Made Several Attempts Land Game Near Finish Pittsburg, 22.—The Phillig were defeated here yesterday by Pirates in a thirteen inning g score 4 to 3. The visitors tied tI score in the ninth when they talll on doubles by Cravath and Luder They went ahead in the twelfth ning on Bancroft’s pass, ' Byrne's rifice and Niehoff's sing) Pitteb again tied it in the last haif of' i twelfth when Murphy Rit saf sending Johnston home from In the thirteenth Collihs #in went to second on Banoroft's throw of Baird's roller to'short. C: line scored the winning ¥un wh Hinchman hit over ‘wecénd. score: June has no base runners to class with two cuch entries as Cobb and Maisel. This country must look to its own horders for sporting rivalry for some years to come—possibly for a decade, For if, in an international contest, the United States should triumph over England or France or any other Euro- pean nation, the beaten would have a worthy alibi to the effect that most of its stalwarts had riéden down the Red Trail and disappeared forever around the gray corner of death. And there are too few gtalwarts in athletic competition for any nation to lose a soodly number and still be able to take the field with fair surength. r. h Philadelphia 0000001010.10—1‘ 10 Pittsburg 0010100000011-—‘ 1 Batteries—Mayer, Rixey, Chal and Killifer; Cooper, l!ullug McQuillan and Gibson. DARTMOUTH BEAT WI Williamstown, Mass. Jne 28] Dartmouth overwhelmed Williamme Western field yesterday by a scope 20 to 2 in a game featured by hi hitting and many erors. In the thi seven Green players crossel the pl on & series of passes, QPM and The score: Dartmouth Willlam Again we have heard the argument advanced by those who should know whereof they chatter that a hardy life ‘n the open by so many millions will I any competition with rare vigor and courage. 3y o “Glants getting old.” Yet there very few on the Giant squsd who seen anything like as muéh Ty Cobb—or who happesn Uh in years. Ty is an 80, he is proof of the player at thirty shoul as fast as ever. This may be true, but it is quite conceivable that a man may face a charge upon some trench belching crimson rain—may plunge without a shaken nerve against an array of cold steel—and still flutter at the test of sinking a 3-foot putt in a pard-fought match. For the nerve required to handle the first situation is not the {ype or nerve required to take up the latter.
