Philadelphia, July 16. "When Pat Moran signed Johnny Ever for the Phillies, he added the third master" to his team for their final drive on the National league pennant. Evers brings with him what has always been considered one of the finest baseball brains in the (tame. Already Pat has Frank Schulte, a member of the old Chicago Sub outfield, and "Chief Bender, the star boxman of Connie Mack's Athletics in their palmiest days. Schulte was signed for two reasons when Pittsburg- let him go.

Moran still has faith in Schulte's ability as a batsman, and with Cravath's legs again going back on him, Pat figured Suits of the most desirable Worsteds, Blue Serges, Cashmeres and other fabrics. Hand-tailored, two and three button models that are the recognized successes of che Summer season. A variety of colorings and patterns that assures you of getting just the Suit you are looking for. All sizes for regulars, stouts, shorts or longs. that he would have an experienced and hoped-for heavy hitter to relieve Oarvy in right field.

Bender was picked up for relief duty in the box and to give the Phil pitching staff the advantage of the "Chief's" acknowledged cunning. Bender depended on his brain as much as his arm when he was the pitching marvel of the old Athletics. He still has his brain, although h'3 arm no longer possesses the craft that It did of yore. These men undoubtedly know the game. They are seasoned veterans, in no danger of cracking under a hard campaign, and if the Phils are to repeat their 1913 victory, they have need of players who can keep the team grinding along from now until October.

WUKRKIX EVliKS WILL HELP. Evers should do much for the Phils in this drive. No doubt Johnny is not the. player he once was, but Pat Moran and many others think that he has plenty of good baseball in his system yet if it can be gotten out. Evers is what is popularly known as a temperamental player.

Jehnny has always grown stagnant when he stays in one place. He was slipping badly with the Cubs when they let him go after the season of 113. He had failed as a managed and as a player. He did not keep in condition and his health affected his playing and spirts more than it would a more rugged frame. So when Stallings bought him for the Braves almost everybody said the Braves had been "stung." On the contrary.

Evers put "pep" into a team supposed to be no better than last ditchers. He dragged Stallings' sleeping beauties out of their lethargy, spurred them on from last place to the pennant to complete the downfall of the supposedly impregnable Regular Price $20.00 $25.00 $25.00 $28.00 $30.00 $32.50 $35.00 $38.00 $40.00 $45.00 $50.00 Clearance Price $14.75 $18.75 $22.75 $26.75 $3 1 .75 $36.75 fBcCreery Seven th Floor.)

Trouble started to brew last season and reach- Why pay for Import Duty?

And if you want character that lively "snap" that belongs to Virginia tobacco alone ask for 'a package of Piedmonts, please." en a crucial poini arier me ora poor showing this year. Evers and Stallings could not get along, but the Boston club was saddled with Evers' contract that prevented him from being disposed of without his consent. Moran heard of the conditions In Boston and found out that Stallings was willing to let Evers go to any club that-would take Johnny's sal-arr off the Boston payroll.

Moran sent for Evers. They talked over Johnny's condition, and Moran, after sizing up his man. decided to take a chance on the flO.OUO salary. Evers likes a. team of hustlers, and recognized the Phils as such.

He wanted to come here and that was enough for Pat. Evers was signed. TV ILL TAKE NIEHOFF PLACE. Moran has been having trouble with Bert Niehoff all year. Niehoff has always been one of the mysteries of baseball.

The critics throughout the country almost without exception can't "see" Bert, yet he has won many a. game for Moran. The trouble with Niehoff has bee that he cannot combine his abilities. When Bert has on a grand fielding streak, he cannot hit. When he hits hard and timely, which he often does.
