THIS TEAM WANTS GAMES. The Eagles baseball team will open its season Sunday July 18, playing the Kochba team. On the following { short. { to one department—pitching.

Nothing at 'All. The Braves spent the major paft of twelve summers in the vicinity of the ground floor. Then they movyed last summer to the top floor. Apparently ithey didn’'t like it—too nolsy, or| something—for thev have moved back down again. Nothing like being at home, around the familiar and tender haunts of one’s childhood. A number of experts were right, after all. They said a vear agp in July that the Braves would crack under the strin. They took their time i about it, but the dope at last panned | out. The Case of the Giants. What show have the Giants of win- ning this season’s pennant? Last sea- son they lost for severar reasons—a heavy batting slump by Doyle and Merkle, weakness at third base and rank pitching after July Fourth. This season several of these condtioins have changed. Doyle took the leader- ship of the National league on Mon- day. Merkle, playing brilliantly at first, moved up to .330. Lobert has nelped plug the gap at third. Flet- cher, batting .280, is playing well at The infield then, is certainly of pennant calibre. The outfield, with Furns, Snodgrass and Robertson, is zbove the average—a better outfleld than ‘the Giants had in their pennant years, Dooin should join Myers in meking a good catching staff. All of which brings the case of the Giants up If Me- Graw can get the pitching that is due from Marquard, Tesreau, Matty and Stroud——not brilliant work, but mere- ly a mnormal output—the outlook thould be pink enough to disperse some of the shadows that have be- leaguered Coogan’s Bluff for the last twelve months, In discussing the case of the Gidnts it is always well to remember the out- standing genius of McGraw—to our rmiind the most valuable subtle leader in the game when it comes o obtain- ing results from a given amount of material F. H. R—We haven't had the pleasure of lamping Mr. Willard in action since he arrivea at the top. But we should hardly label his habi- tat above that 'of Jeffries as the Big Bear wag fifteen years ago. The Psychology of Weariness, Dear Sir: In a recent article you spoke of Travers' success in playing | the last nine holes of the open cham- rionship when he was exhausted. This is no mystery. Let me refer you to Freud, Brill, or, if you want it sugar coated, to Max Bastman. When a man long trained at a cer- tain job is exhausted, paths of asso- ciation are broken down and his muscles and nerves act mechanically without the hindrance of an active mind. He is too tired to think when in the act of making a stroke. So the older and more experienced the golfer, under such a condition, the better his play. For the less experienced man the play is poorer under these con- | ditions. Travers' eye, arm and back | svorke 1 as each was trained to work. | The mind, wearied, did not disturb a muscle. He was not so strong, but better timing is better than strength, B This sounds extremely reasonable. Yet W. J. Travis, the most experi- enced and the longest trained of them all, finds that his game now begins to sag in any tournament when weari- ness sets in, and John J. McDermott recently at Fox Hills played brilliant golf the first day but poor golf the next when he began to tire. Golf, beyond most logical deduc- " Grantland Rice Moran's Judgment. Pat Moran has haa judgment cnough not to work Alexander to death. The Nebraska Simoon is as iresh now as he was back in April,and as a result he is far more effective than if he had been sent out of turn 1o try and save losing ventures. With Alexander in such remarxable con- dition and displaying such unusual wizardry, the prophecy that Philadel- phia would soon blow is out of joint. One great star like like Alexander can keep a club off the chutes, for at least every fourth day he can check a losing streak and toss his clan back into the right path. This was one of the great values of Mathewson back in his prime. The Big Giant not only pro- duced victories, but confidence. So Alexander is worth a lot more to the Phillies than the eignteen victories h¢ has packed away. He is worth al- most as much more in producing a keener morale, in which respect the Phillies are better ‘off than they have ever been in a forty-year history. They may not have as many stars as other Philly entries have carried in the past, but they have a better team spirit, which is something more to the main peint. ALL WATERBURY VS ANNEX. The Annex of this city will have the strong All Waterbury team to oppose them on Sunday afternoon at the An. nex field on Belden street. Game will start at 3 p. m. The Waterbury team are the pick of the fastest teams in the state. They are con- tenders for first place honors in the ‘Waterbury city league. The home team. will have to travel some-to ada this game to their long string of vic- torys. The Annex will use Blanch- ard, their no-hit pitcher, or Cabellus in the box with Halleran catching. PIONEERS VS INTER-CITY 'I'EAM! Hartford’s Crack Semi-Pro Team to Meet Locals Sunday in This City. . The best ball game in New Britain Sunday afternoon will take place at the Ellis street grounds when the Ploneers will meet the fast going In- ter-City, of Hartford. The Inter-City team who is now leading the City league in Hartford is { considered with out a doubt, one of the fastest teams in the state. The | team is composed of some of the best ball players in Hartford and this is easily proven when they held Trinity college nine to a score of 4 to 3 the first part of the season. There will be a few changes in the Pioneer's lineup, Sunday and they will no doubt show the fans they are far from be- | ing all in. Church or Meade will pitch and Rage will catch for the In- ter-City, while Ahearn and Noonan, will work for the Pioneers. The game will be called at 3:15. CLERKS 6, PROS. 4. The clerks celebrated the first Wednesday half holiday by beating the Professional Men's team at Wal- nut Hill Park, score 6 to 4. In the first innings the clerks pounded Nel- son’s . rather easy offerings to all cor- ners’of the lot, but after this, he was well nigh invincible. Dobson for the winners, and Martin for the losers. played brilliantly in the field | Curran, pitched for the winners and was in fine form holding his oppon- | ents safe when hits meant runs. The game was marred by the poor work of Umpire ‘‘Herbie” Lyons, who once upon a time was considered the best holder of an indicator in the city. - Many bharsh things were sald to Lyons, during the fray, the sup- porters of the Professional Men blaming him for the loss of the game. ‘‘Herbie” quit the game sev- eral times, but was prevailed to re- turn as the spectators enjoyed his weird work. Herbie, showed the players that he understood the game by demonstrating to the pitchers just how to stand in the box and how to hold the ball. These things he learned when he was captain of the ' policemen’s team. It is likely that a return game will be played in the near future by the teams, but the losers avow' that Mr. Lyons, if he wishes to see the game, \series with that team. will have to content himself by look- ing on from the sidelines.
