There was a report circulated in Waterbury to the effect that the man- agement of the Waterbury baseball clup ntended to transfer the team to Norwich. This was denied by Secre- tary Willlam Murphy, who expalined how the report started. “Several of the boys on the club,” be said, “have suggested that the team be transferred to Norwich, so that they could be near the league leaders, New London. I haven't given the thing the slightest thought. I sup- pose someone heard the boys say that and spread the report that we were to go_there.” ‘When asked how the club drew bere towards other cities in the cir- cuit, Mr. Murphy replied that the at- tendance here was less than anywhere else in the league. He was asked whether Waterbury had smaller crowds than New Britain, and replied that, according to all re- ports, New Britain, the team that holds down eighth place, draws more each day than Waterbury. If the transfer is thought of. the grounds would not be the only ques- tion that confronts the promoters. After so many years without league Bball in this city, the fans ought to be eager to support a first class ball team, but it is felt they will not recip- rocate. Taking the game last Sunday at the Falls between the All Stars and the Sachems as an example, there was a good attendance, but the smallness of the collection was surprising. The collection was Jjust large enough to pay barely the sxpenses of one team. Playors Paraded the Field In Spite of Storms. Philadelphia, July 15—While thunder endeavored to drown out the music of two bands, the world’s champion flag which the Philadelphia Americans won last fall was raised at Shibe Park this afternoon. Through miniature lakes Ind‘.lnklim Il'n.ldd t.ht; visiting St. Louis Americans an le champion Athletics paraded the fleld, and during a momentary letup in the almost con- tinuous thunder showers the pennant ‘was hoisted to the top of the pole. Both games of the double header ! sebedule dfor today _were postponed. Lioyd Davies; the €ormer Massachu- setis agricultural stqr, has made & hit with Connle Mack. “I did not intend w him as a pitcher,” sald Connfe, = ‘wanted him because he can hit. While working in the m he did @ Jot of pitching and looked pretty good to me. So when I found myself up against it for a pitcher for the second game I decided to take a chance on Davies. put As it turned out, you see I the clean-up man in the box. Now that Davies has delivered the goods I am all right for next week in the pitching line” Marty O'Toole has just discovered that s winning pitcher pays more at- tention to getting the ball over the plate occasionally than to building up ut. records.

Dooin’s Team Popular for Its Good Batsmen—Hardest Hitters in the League. It has so often been said that the real strength of Dooin’s Phillies lies in their ability to hit the ball often and hard that the subject appears to be antiquated. Nevertheless, this ability to slug the horsehide remains the most fascinating phase of their play and is making them one of the most popular teams of the National league circuit. From St. Louis to New York they are known as the ‘Slugging Phils, Inside baseball is good to look at— for the man who is a student of the game. The great majority of the pa- tion’s fans, however, like to see the sphere sail over the fence; they glory in the crash of bat on ball, for it is this that gives them the real thrills. The fan will chuckle with admiration when the double squeeze play is suc- cessfully executed, but they vell with frenzy when a Cravath or a Luderus knocks the ball And so the “S popular everywhere th: may finish in last pla may fight their way to a the leaders, but they will always the ball ang hit it hard. Their pitct may weaken, the fielding may away and many runs may be wasted by siow base running, but they will siug, and as long as they do they will have a place in the hearts of (he pub- lic. Are the Phils the hardest tegm in the big leagues? If they are, why are they? These two questions form the foundation of our offerinz. The Answer Is “Yes™ The answer to the first 3 hitting a vehement “yes” It is poss : the Glants or some other team will wrest the lead from the Quake: the matter of extra bases, but does not necessarily mean that the Quakers are not hitting the ball hard- er than any of their rivals. Extra pase hits are largely a matter of bringi: the bat against the bail hard, but there or that must be consid- ered. It is speed. . All other things being equal, the Phillies would lead the field in base hits by such a wide margin that there wouldn’'t be any race it is, they may be beatfn team which hits lighter, gets more extra bases superior speed. As a team the lies are slow on In order to lead in extra they have got to do more the ball harder than their opponents. They must not only hit the ball harder—they must hit it harder by a great Many follower: 1 attribute the home run record e Quakers to the short right and left field boun- laries at the Philadelphia park. Un- doubtedly . it is t this has something to do with their home run record, but as far as other extra nase hits are concerned it is a detriment. How many times in the course of a season will Magee, Cravath, Luderus and Becker hit the right field fence with terrific drives only to have the ball bound back so that the hitter is held on first? Many of these drives would go for extra bases on other fields. The Quakers piay half of their games on the home grounds and it is more than likely that they lose more extra bases because of this short fence than they get by hitting the ball over into Broad street. So much for the first question. The Quakers are undoubtedly the hardest hitting team in the big leagues. The problem now faces us, why are they?

Magee, Cravath, Luderus an@ Becker are gifted with unusual eyesight. Their judgment of distance is nearly perfect and they can follow the fast ones with accuracy as they come to the plate. There is another factor to be com- | sidered. No successful slugger relies on his eyes and muscles alone. He must be able to outguess a pitcher a g00d part of the time. He must have some idea what the man in front of him is thinking about and be ready for the kind of a ball that he is about {to offer. Few home runs have been | made with blind swings. Of the four men, Cravath is per- haps the best at outguessing a pltch- er. The big Californian is a thinker, he makes a study of the pitchers and it is a battle of wits every time he comes to the plate. Luderus, Mage and Becker are also figuring all the time when up at the plate, The question is about answered. The Quakers are a heavy hitting clud because of the presence of Cravath, Magee, Luderus and Becker. The difference in their styles is an interesting topic. Cravath and Becker bat entirely different from Luderus and Magee. The former pair swing full and a goifer would sey they “fol- low their stroke through.” Magee and Luderus start their swing later than the other two and whip the bag around. When the ball is struck the bat stops. B HOW LONG WwWiLL 3 BASE BALL WAR LAST? Third Major League Sure To Come— Federals Are Holding On Longer Than Exepected. Organized baseball's boast that the Feds will blow before the Fourth of July is now on cold storage, along with the prediction that the Federauls would never start the season and that they were a pack of shoe-stringers, who would quit as soon as they drop- ped a few dollars. Ban Johnson's pre- diction that the Feds would not be alive In August, made when his im- perial majesty was last in New Yok, also is likely to be placed in pickie before long. However, Mr. Fan is sitting back and asking how long it will last. That is the question. He is getting mighty sick of present conditions in his fav- orite sport, and threatens to bolt un- less the magnates get together soon and do something. A baseball fan can stand a lot, but there are times when he gets filled up to his neck, and is pretty near ready to flop to tennis ox the movies. The only H sensible way the trouble is by letting the Federal league into organized baseball as a major league, and let them keep what players fthey have. Then let them gradually build themselves up to major league strength by draft and purchase . The Federals have not the slightest idea of blowing. and if organized baseball keeps up the fight they will only have to keep digging into their jens, while the present demoralized state in baseball will continue. And in the end they will have to let the Federals in anyway, when they will likely have a lot more star players than they have now. Waliter Johnson and Eddie Collins are as good as sign- ed up tosthe Brookfeds for next year. And if these baseball marvels do nut appear in Brookiyn they will maike such a hole in the treasuries of the Washington and Athletic clubs that some one is going to let out a loag velp. 1 understand Mack has already given Collins his ultimatum, and that Connie nas no intention of matching the fabulous salary which the bread magnates have offered the Tarrytown Terror. How is Ward going to pay John= son and Collins such salaries when he is not drawing flies and was compell- ed to lower his prices to 25 cents and 50 cents? The answer is advertise ment, and I think the Brooklyn mamn will reap handsomely on his invesc- ment Whenever one hears the name of Johnson mentioned one thinks of the entire Washington team, and Col- lins is generally regarded as being about 25 per cent of the Athletic If these players perform in Brook- they will make the Brookfed team one of the best advertised teama ball.
