PITCHING PERIL.
Despite the fact that the Brook-
lyn club has only two left handed
hitters in its lineup, it is suffering
much as a result of an epidemic of
southpaw pitching by the opposition.
The two left-handed hitters in the
Brooklyn lineup are Zach Wheat
and Jack ll‘ournicr, who, by the way
carry much of the punch of the club.
In an effort to slow down the two
outstanding hitters, the opposition
resorts to southpaws whenever pos-
sible.
During a recent stretch of games.
nine southpaws were used in succes-
sion against the Brooklyn club.
Wheat has suffered more than Four-
nicr, but big Jack would much pre-
fer butting against right-handers.
It has been customary for years to
send southpaws against teams top-
heuvy with left-handed batters. but
the slant of doing it against a club
with only two such hitters in the
lineup. is decidedly the exception.
0 t I
However, it has proved successful
in curtailing the batting of the club's
two crack hitters and for that rea-
son will probably be the prevailing
habit for the rest of the season .

Rated Highly After 20 Years in Tennis
That’s Unusual Record Established By Mrs. May Sutton Bundy i
Dy ART CARLGON.
Empress of tennis over 20 years
ago. still ranked among the leaders
today!
That's the rsther unusual record
- of Mrs. May Button Bundy. one of "
the earliest pioneers from that great
sportive section—California.
May Button. as she was known be-
fore her marriage to Tom Bundy. an-
other net celebrity. started her ca-
reer on the courts early. At the age
of ill she was considered a good
player.
The following season she Journey-
ed to England for the tournament at
Wimbledon. She was the first
American women to go abroad in
search of the English title. She
came back with it. too.
National Champion in 1004.
The next year found her in the
land of Johnny Bull again. This
time she met defeat at the hands of
Miss D. K. Douglass (the present
Mrs. Lambert-Chambers). whom she
had conquered the previous season.
In 1907 she won her second title
across the pond.
It was back in 1904 that she gain-
ed national laurcls. She wended her
way through an exceptional field to
reach the topmost heights. She also
shared in the. doubles honors the
same campaign.
While she has only one national
singles crown to her credit. she has
been it high-ranking player down
through the years. Not long ago she
was placed fourth in the “Big Ten"
ratings. Quite an achievement con~
sidering that Molia Mallory and
Mary K. Browne were two of the
three to gain higher recognition.
Eleanor Goss was the third.
Mrs. llundy's game is rather Eng.
lish. She is u liackcoUrt player, be.-
ing out of place at the net. Steadi-
ness is one of her strongest points.
While her service is not speedy. 'it is
well-placed. Double faults are a
rarity with her.
While many of the outstanding
performers employ their service. or
rather depend upon it for getting
points, Mrs. Bulldy uses here mainly
as a means of putting the ball into
play. That‘s why double faulting is
' few and for between in her game.
Fighting Spirit Big Asset.
Mrs. Bundy is one of those deter-
mined creatures. who never glves up
regardless of how the. battle is pro-
gressing. The tougher the goillg,.the
harder she plugs along. And this
i
t
Mb.
fighting spirit has aided her greatly.
When one considers that this yet-
eran of the tennis courts was a na~
tionnl champion before Ty Cobb
made his major league debut; be-
fore Michigan deserted the then “Big
Nine"; before Willie Hoppe copped
the world billiard title. and even ere
Annette Kellermann. Australia's sen-
sation. startled the universe with her

Over two decades in a gtl‘me where

main requisites—and stillifar from
through.

ual record of Mrs. May Sutton Bun-

League pennant fight.
Only three and one half games be-
bind the second place Giants as a
result of their sweeping triumph ov-
er the champions yesterday. 9 to l.
the battling Rolland host set forth
on the rugged climb to the summit
with a record on their backs of fit-
teen triumphs out. of their last nine-
teen starts. For the first time since
the early periods of the race. base-
ball men’ were ready to admit that
the struggle for the pennant could
no longer be considered a two-team
contest between New York and Pitts-
burgh.
Catching for the Giants in a slump
as they retreated under a withering
St. Louis fire. Cincinnati bludgeons
yesterday straightened out the offer-
ings of two New York hurlers for
fourteen hits, seven of them for ex-
tra bases. A generous share of the
bingles were clustered in the second
inning for six runs. at which time
Bentley was driven from the pitch-
ing mound.
The Pirates took advantage of the
New York relapse by routing Deny
Vance and the Robins. 5 to 1. the
triumph increasing their lead to two

one: although the Pirates had bea-
ten him twice in three previous
starts. He paved the way to hls'own
defeat. however. by uncorking a wild
pitch which sent. whet proved to be
the winning run over the plate in
the fourth inning.
Kremer. opposing Vance on» the
slab. gave nine hits, but they were
so well scattered that only one Rob-
in was able to complete the‘tran
from plate to plate.
After allowing only one hit, for
eight innings. Percy Jones of the
Cubs weakened in the ninth and the
Phillies crowded in three runs on
four hits and two bases on balls.’
Decatur blanked Chicago after'the
first, the final score reading a to 1.
Boston Braves rose from the‘
depths of the pit under a smoke
screen of 12 hits and smote the St.
Louis Clrdinall in the fourth game
of the National. 6 to 4. driving Rhem

Philadelphia's lead over Washing-

the Athletics were halving a double

pitchers were ‘hammered for a o to

the shorter the shaft. the heavier
