EDDIE COLLINS TO WRITE FIRST
PENNANTS NO NOVELTY
TO STALLINGS' CHAMPIONS
'Mitchell and Evors, However, Arc Only Members of Braves'
, Club Who Have Previously Been on Major League
Winner Boston Leader Confident qf Success..
Though .tohnny Kvcrs la the only mem
ber of the Boston Droves who hns had
"world's series experience, the matter of
winning pennants Is by no means a nov
elty to suitings' men. But the winning
days of the present Boston club have
teen confined largely. In fact, almost
exclusively, to the minors. With the
exception of Evers, who wns on Chance's
winning Cub machine In 1000, 1907, 190S
and 1910, there Is only one man on the
new National League championship team
who win In a major league victory. This
man Is Fred Mitchell.
Back In the early days of the Ameilcan
league, uhen the young organization
Was struggllnefor Its very existence,
Fred Mitchell Kvns one of Connie Mack's
pitchers, That was in 1902, the first year
that Connie won the flog, and the sec
ond season of tho league. There was no
world's scries that year, hence this Is
the first time that Fred has been able
to get Into the same room where the big
dough-pudding Is to be sliced and equally
divided. Besides being with Mack on a
"Winning club, Mitchell, having developed
Into a catcher, was one of the receivers
on tho victorious Toronto club In 1907.
In 1011, Mitchell was with the Itochcstcr
club, which won the Hag
Ensign Cottrcll Is another member of
tho Braves' team who has some honor
aside from being In this year's Boston
club. Ensign has never been noted for
being around when many pennants were
unfurled, but he was with the White
Elephants last season a part of the
time. Mack gave him scvernl chances,
but he proved to be such a wild young
left-hander that Mack decided tb turn
him over to Baltimore. After sojourning
with Jack Dunn n while, ho whs taken
up In due course of time by George Stall
lngs, and v. Ill now be pitted, theoretically
only, against the men with whom ho
trained and traveled last season.
Stalllngs himself has been with more
pennant winners than any of his players.
In 18S8. when some of his young players
had not se.'n the light of da, tu iv noth
ing of the beans of Boston, Stalllngs was
with the Stockton team, of the California
State League, which won the bunting that
year. The following year he switched to
Oakland and the flag also switched.
Tn 189t George moved along the coast
until ho arrived at San Jose. There he,
rmalncd for two winning years, 1S91 and
3S9I. The next year he made a long Jour
ney "cross country, and finally. In 1S01,
he was with tho champion Buffalo club.
The next season he went South and for
tune followed him to Nashville, Tenn.,
where another flag was raised. In y
he went to Buffalo and was with that
club when they won that year. From
then until 19H Stalllngs hns been unsuc
cessful ns a winner, hut his performance
this year In bringing the Joke club of the
league to the top In the greatest race ever
seen In any league has made up for his
years of varying fortune.

teams and know a good one from a bad

Braves are a good team, ns good as they
come. And the Athletics are going to
find It out I'm sure mighty happy to
be with them.;
Leslie Mann "Alt the National League
teams have been beaten by the Braves,
and the Athletics will be unless they're
a whole ljt belter than they were when
they played the Giants last year. Talking
before a series doesn't do much good,
but when everybody on a team thinks
the team Is going to win, It comes mighty
near settling the matter.
Teil father: "I hope I get'a chance in
the serle. for I think the Braves arc
going to win It. nnd I sure wnnt to plav
lit" the games ns well on be on the team.
Mnvbo I'm not glad that I wns shifted
from the C'nnllnnls to Boston. I'll try
ntv best tu show It, too, If I get tho
chance."
If any one thinks that George Stalllngs
Is not confident of beating the Athletic,
lot him read what the Braves' manager
has to say on the subject:
"We have been through n scries lust
ns hnrd ns the one coming, all things
considered. All season long the air hni
been ringing with talk of crucial series.
Everbody has been waltlnir for ns to
crock. We weathered all of the hard
series and wo have not cracked so that
nny one can notice It.
"While It may appear foolish on the
face of It, It's an absolute fact that
the series agalnt New York, back In
August, was a harder test of my ball
club than the coming Philadelphia games
will be.
"The tenm had been fighting for more
than a month nnd was more or less
plnycd out then.
"Only a couplo of the players had ever
been In games where a pennant hung In
the bnlance and whore a slip might mean
great financial loss. '
"A lot of young, practically Inexperi
enced, ball players were fighting a cham
pion team. Enormous crowds were out
hostile crowds. The Giant veterans, see
ing their glory slipping away, worked
every trick of their long experience to
shake up tho Braves.
"Tho light nnd the crowds and the
competition merely acted as a spur. It
brought out the real quality of the team.
That series, when we fought ourselves to
within three and a half games of the
lenders, after gaining nine games on
them tn a month, wns really the making
of the Boston champions.
"It showed them that they could beat
any team In the league. It made them
confident. Thev were game, every one
of them, but that clean-up made them
gamer.
"We are better fortified with hitters
than any team that ever faced the Ath
letics In the big scries. We have right
handed batters for tho left-handed pitch
ers and offside sluggers for the right
handers. "Connollv Is the hardest hitter on the
team against a right-hander, but Cather
hits the southpaws Just as Hard, The
seme Is true of Mann nnd Moran.
"Most of the Athletics' sluggers are
left-handed hitters and our southpaws
are going to give them lots of bother.
"We mnv lose, though I don't think
we will. But If we do It will not be until
the Athletics have been given the tough
est fight they have ever been up against "
It Is generally believed that Rudolph
and Bender will be the opposing pitchers
In the first game of the world's scries.
There Is no gainsaying the fact that,
unless Connie Mack hns entirely changed
his views regarding his pitching staff,
he will use Bender first. This he will do
because he things Bender can win more
easily than any of the other members
of the hurling corps, and, ns every ono
Is aware, the moral advantage of win
ning the first game Is great. Then. too.
the Chief will be ready to come back
Monday In Boston. This Is tho way
Stalllngs dopes out the situation, and he
Intends to use Rudolph against the Chief
tain. While In New York he was talk
ing along this very line nnd remarked.
In discussing Rudolph:
"Nobody In the country has a better
chance of winning a tight and Important
game. Mathewson hlmsolf hns nothing
on Dick when It comes to cunning. He
can do just about whatever he pleases
with a baseball. He can knock your
eye out with a curve, he can knock your
eye out with a fast ball and the same
with a slow one.
"And never believe for a second that
Rudolph will get rattled. He's the kind
of a fellow who wouldn't think twice
about betting his end of the world's
series on his ability to fan Home Run
Baker. Dick Is ns game as a pebble and
cool ns lee water. Just keep your eye
on him In this series."

If yesterday's game with the Yankees

It was no surprise to those who have

Penn Team Getting Down to
Hard Work for Play With
Lafayette Eleven Here on
Saturday.
, By EDWARD R. BTJSHNELIj
If what Head Coach George Brooke and
bis assistants started out to do yester
day Is actually accomplished Pennsyl
vania will yet have a capable football
team. The coaching yesterday was de
voted mainly to two thlngb speeding up
the wholo team, particularly by the use
of a faster set of backs, nnd perfecting
the Interference. Only actual results will
demonstrate the success or failure of
this latest move.
Brooke hopes to accomplish the speed
ing up of the backfleld by using Tucker
at fullback. This man Is the best sprinter
In the backfleld. Ho can kick and he
has enough weight to do his share of
lino plunging. Brooke thinks that Tucker
hasn't yet shown all he can do In the
punting line, and he will be coached in
this work from now on. Another man
who Is a certainty In the backfleld Is
Ballou, although the coaches want to find
a placo for Gotwnlb, whose speed they
would like to utilize. Rockefeller has
enough speed and line plunging ability
for one of the halfback positions, and
probably half a dozen men will fight It
out for the other. This list Includes
Avery, Moffett, Gotwalls and Hughes, If
the latter returns. Of tho lot Moffett
la the best line plunger, but he Is also
tho worst fumbler and the slowest run
ner. His weakness in tho lust two par
ticulars are likely to prevent his winning
a permanent berth In the backfleld.
It was sad news which came from the
University Hospital concerning Donald
Carter, the centre. His injury In the
F. and M. game was such that he won't
play football again for at least three or
four weeks, and possibly won't be avail-

wondrous sight. To beat him when he's

Spokane Vean first toed the slab, If I've

nlnetccn-nlne. Next year In Portland's
uniform he took the coast league fans by
storm an' had 'cm at his shrine.
He pitched so many ehutout games thoy
hung on him this name of names, "The
Portland Plasterer." Xcxt spring he took
his whitewash brush an' went to Cleve
land with a rush. He kicked up quite a
stir. His big left arm was plenty strong
to kid the knights o' swat along all
'round Ban Johnson's wheel. His Jack
knlfo wlndup, crossfire shoot an' all his
steam an' curves to boot made good right
off the reel.
Ha starred In Napland three straight
years. This season, though, ol' Vean ap
pears to've gono clear off his foed. The
team went bad an' Vean went worse. His
aim seemed always In a hearse when It
was most In need. Bill Carrlgan was!
sweet on Vean an' Blrmy's patience got
so lean the two fixed up a trade. "With

Speaking of Indians, let's hope that
when Bender goes In, It will not be a case
of "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too."
As for the Tyler" part, that Is a cer
tainty. Before the world's series of 1905. 1510,
1911. 1913 and 1914. Connie Mack gave out
a statement regarding the outcome, which
was the same In each case, and substan
tially was: "I think It will be a hard
series. Of course we want to win, and
I think that unless we play a tie with
them or they beat us, that we have a
good chance to win."

THE GOLFERS AFTERMATH
Now that the Invitation tournaments for th
season are ended, some comment may be mad
concerning them without seeming to tread on
an) body' toes. The average golfer would be
far better pleased If tbess various meats
could b held earlier In the summer, when
business does not demand so much attention.
June and July would give far greater eatla
faction to the majority of club members, who
feel that the early autumn month should b
devoted to their business. And they ar lesa
likely to bo out of town during June and July
than In August and early September.
Another argument In favor of the early dates
Is that the davs are much longer and offer a
better opportunity nf finishing to the large
tlelds that are usually entered. 'And still an
rther patent reason Is that th courses ar
less likely to be burned to that degree of hard,
ness that causes a ball to run farther than Its
rarry or eise cause it to kick on at som
disastrous angl. The (all grass, too. has not
crept In and conditions generally ar much
better.

EVENING LEDGER
Tomorrow's Issue Will Con
tain Comprehensive Com
parison of Athletics and
Braves by "World's Great 1
est Ball Player."
It has never been tho policy of Connls J
Mack, nor of the members of his team,
to mako promiscuous, Iron-bound pre
dictions on future events pettalnlng to
their own baseball club. However, Eddl
Collins, who has consented to write a
dally review of tha world's series game
for the Evenino I,bdobr, does not heiU
tate to say which club ho thinks th
better and which one will win In fh
coming series.
During the last few days, tho question!
"Who will win, tho Braves or the Ath
letics?" has been asked hundreds of thou
sands of times In Philadelphia. Tomor'
row Eddie Collins will answer It In th'
Evening Ledobr. Ho will not only tell
which club ho thinks Is tho better
equipped for tho series of 18H, but h
will venture a bold prophecy ns to th
outcome. Moro than that. In this article,
Collln.3 will give somo of tha" "Inside
stuff," for which ho Is famous both en
tha field nnd as a writer of tho pastime.
Collins will follow IiIb story tomorrow
with another Thursday, which will gltr
some Interesting Information regarding
tho pitchers who are apt to bo used by
Stalllngs nnd Mack In tho series' games.
This subject will bo treated In a clean-
cut, comprehcnslvo way, bo that tho moit
ardent fan learns many things to which,
he never before has given a thought
out all of the weakness from his Haver
ford eleven. If Georgu Brooke tried that
at Penn tho result -would bo a large, ach
Ing void on Franklin Field.
Heroic hardihood Is not confined to ths
war zono of Europe. Campl has really
been trying to get a match with Kid
Williams.
Hoping that thero is something In n.
name after nil, George Burns, tho Giant
memoer, nas married Mls3 Baker.
When Connlo, from his Ltctlc height
Unfurled the pennant to tho air.
It gave the Braves an awful fright
To see his stars of balldo mthcre.
And If there Is any meaning In odds of
i 10 j, .Mr. aicuilllcuddy will BVo the.
Braves something moro than an awful
irigni.
Bernstein nnd Newbury, two of Penn's
most promising freshmen athletes, hava

futility of a contract with a loopholo
Our Idea of no danun flnnr, , thkl
