Mackmen Still Believed to
Be Better Individually
Than Boston, But Over
confidence and Stallings
Beat Them.
Boston's unnrccedented fourMn-n-row
K victory over the Athletics for the world's
; baseball championship tops the list of
19M upsets In the sphere- of sports. How
. club whoso individual members were
believed, ami still are thought to be, In
ferior to another, could have so decisively
won from the team of superior players, Is
tho question which even the Joy-mad fol
lowers of the Hruve-s nro asking.
Lack of condition and overeontldence,
which Increased tho extent of abso
lute eocksutwness as the day for the llrst
frame of the sciles approached, c.plnliis
best how the Athletics were beaten
This Is practically admitted by members
of tho Macktau team themselves. Natu
rally when tho team ai rived this morning
at North Philadelphia they were not in a
garrulous mood. They did not c.iro to
discuss the series even with their closest
friends. The weather was a safer and
saner topic. However, when one or two of
the men did mention casually that there
had been a setback In the ranks, due to
a severe drubbing administered by the
TtravAS. thnv treini.il In think thitt th,
answer was Just what has been stated !
above.
Connlo Mack, like his men. Is a true
sportsman. He nevei produce alibis. To
be sure, he has -eldi in had thf oppnrtu
nlty In the last 14 ears, but even when
nis team sunerou iteient as it mil in rnun-
J.Ii..Ih n..l tl1.,,.. .lllflttl ft, Inn, f,t" '
days, he gives the other club full credit.
"They licked us and licked us fairly," :
was tho way the Watftlooed general of
baseball put it. "A great etub won the
BCrles," he went on, "it played better ball i
every gnme and the result would not have 1
been fair to Boston If we had not bei-n
licked In four straight: that mean, of
course, on the form showed by the two
teams In the series. They call the team
the Braves, and a truer word was never
uttered, but Stallings has too much of the '
Jack Johnson In him for mc to include
him In rav congratulations " I
111 III lilt vuiihiiuuiaii'iiia
From his short staiement. it Is evident
that Connie Mack heads the list of those
who believe that the Athletics were fair
ly and squarely beaten, but who also
.-,, .I- V. AT ...L-mur, ll'ftfn lint
i themselves in the series. While Mack
Mould not say wiiy no inuumii m,: vm
letlcs were not in th proper condition,
i their complete confident e explains it.
r Durlns the last few weeks of the Amert-
.' can League season the Tied Sox began
r to make a fight for the pennant. But
I tho Athletics did not get out of the leth
t prgy Into which they had dropped. In
! stead they slmpU took it for granted
I that they were going to win the pen
! nant without half tring. They got into
-. Jthls rut Bin? stayed there. During the
t t1mef'whch they should have been getting
f on edge. Just a few days before the series,
' they were not doing so. This does not
i mean that the members of the team were
( not working to get physically fit. for they
' -were. But they wcie not looking on the
" terlc3 with the proper mental altitude.
! They couldn't see anything but them
i selves, and that meant that when they
i -went Into the games with the Brave
they were so astounded by each succes-
slve defeat that they could not get into
' fighting form.
Stallings' men. on the other hand, wrc
r lust the opposite of the Athletics. They
had been told by their manager that If
' they went In and played the ball that
was In them they could beat the Athletics
or any other club. Their mental attitude
- differed from the Athletics' in that they
f knew they had to tight to win. while
I their opponents thought they could win
without fighting. The result was that.
led by Captain Johnny Evers. the Braes
St folight every minute of the four games
i ' In the first game plaed In Boston, tin
t third of the series, the Braves fought one
' of the earnest baseball battles ever waged
i In the history of the game. But they
t would have made Just as good a flgnt in
I any other game and as game a one If It
r had been necessary.
stalllncs himself Is a fighter and he
makes his men fight. If ho has a man
In his club whom he thinks has a tend
ency to weaken at the knees in a pinch,
he delivers a series or lonsue-iuaiiumi
to that man until the player Is far more
nfrald not to come through than he la to
; face a critical situation.
I The Braves.' leader says he has a great
fighting club and to that fact he uttributes
: Its SUCCeSS. Alter me Bum" .10.. r,
I In Boston, he said of his tenm:
"I did not think that we would win In
' four straight games, but I never had the
' leaat doubt that we would beat the Ath
' letics. I have the gamest, best fighting
' ball club on earth and we fought the
Philadelphia bunch Just as we had plan
' ned and. Just as we espcted. the result
1 was victory. No pitchers can show me
! more than mine did In this series. I am
glsd that we did beat the Athletics four
I straights, for of all the poor sports In
I the world, Connie Mack is the worst
lluch had been said before the series
' of the failure of the Boston players
l thoroughly to comprehend the meaning of
defeat." but It was not until after the
. first Kama played here at Shlbe Park that
' this was actually proven to be a fact.
Less than an hour after Dick Rudolph
- had outpltched Chief Bender he was talk-
log of his. teammates and how they felt
': about It
"You know." he ssld, "the boys on our
1 club don't think that anybody can lick
i them. They know they hae to play
ball but they think they can do that,
and' they have been doing It. too They
: played a great game behind me and the
' way they went after the Athletics makes
I me feel Just as the rest do that nobody
can beat us."
Following his second victory, won yes-
, terday, 3 to 1, over the Athletics at Fen.
i" way Park In Boston. Rudolph declared
that he "could not see the Athletics as
',- hitters." "They were the Mslest team
to beat." Richard declared, "that I have
5 been up against this year, or In any other
i of the seven years of my pitching ex-
P perlence "
I "I had heard much about the way they
lugged, but I soon found they could
not live up to their reputation I'd
rather pitch against the Athletics than
the worst teams In the National and
American Leagues, and I know that rny
average would be far better They swung

to prove the mental upatuesa of the Ath

balls, for they knew the Mack were
hlttlnB at bad ones, and that hltt'ns' bad
balls could result In only one thins de
feat. The "breaks" of the name were In near
ly oviry case for Huston. Out that Is
always tiue of a winner. The clement
of luck played but a small part In any
one of the four games. The "breaks"
ncalnst the Athletics were the results
, ,
, e'tht-r of poor Judgment on the part of
'"-, Athletics or their failure to take the
situation with sutMcIent seriousness
19
exert themselves to the limit.
Many fans of Philadelphia had the
wrong "dope" on yesterday's pitching
situation. They were not surprised that
Connie Mack selected Shawkey. nor would
they have been surprised at the, choosing
of any other of the younger members of
the pitching staff. But they believed that
the reason was because Mack could not
trust Bender or Plank to win. On the
contrary. Mack had, and still has, full
confidence In the ability of these old
warriors, hut he was up against ono of
the hardest situations he ever faced yes
terday, and that he did the right thing
cannot be questioned.
The Athletics had lost thice games.
Bender and Plank had been used. The
question In Mack's mind was, "Shall I
use Pender or Plank today, or save them
to win later If the team wins this game?"
Obviously If a youngster had to be used
at all, which, of course, was necessary
If he expected to play the full seven
games, the only time to use him was yes
trdav. If Bender had pitched yesterday
and won, and Plank could have followed
with a victory today, that would still
haw left It up to a youngster. Hence
Mack thought that the best thing to do
was to win yetTda's game, or try to
win It. with a youngster, and to do the
same thing today. That would leave Ben
der and Plank for the two last games, and
would give them a chance to recuperate
from the effects of their work here last
Friday and Saturday.
Yesterday's game gave Shawkey and
Pennoek their first chance In a world's
series, although the former was In line
when thf pie was sliced last year, and
the latter has been with the Mackmen
three years.
Both Pennoek and Shawkey pitched
good hall. The total hits oft these young
sters was six In the eight rounds Bos
ton fuced them. Shawkey gave up four
of these and Pennoek two. The trouble
yesterday was not with the Athletics'
pitching, but with their own hitting,
which was fitful. They managed to get
seven hits off Rudolph, but were unable
to bunch them except In the one round
when Shawkey's double scored the only
run for the Phlladelphlans.
In Boston two players are the heroes
of the hour-Hank Gowdv, who has Just
compleUd his first world's series, and
Johnny Evers. the veteran of many cam
paigns and world's series games. To
Evers as much as to Stallings belongs
the credit for the Braves' march through
tho ranks of the National League and
their subsequent victory over the Ath
letics for the baseball crown. Evers'
work In the series was splendid. II
fteldrd well, although he was charged
with one error; he drove In the two win
ning runs yesterday with a hot single
through the box. Johnny madn seven
hits In the four games In It times at
bat, giving htm a percentage of .137.
Goody's slugging, however, was as
timely as Evers', and he hit the ball to
greater distances and with more com
parative frequency. He had six hits In
11 times up. an average of .545. This
young ratchT cracked the ball for a
total of 14 bases, hitting a home run.
a triple, three doubles and one tingle.
It was due to his terrific clubbing as
much as to any other one factor that
the Braves were able to arrive at the
goal so quickly and make victory so
complete.
The pall thrown over the city by tho
Athletics' defeat was lightened to some
extent by John Brown. South Philadel
phia. Brown had a wager with Tqm Per
field. If the Braves won Brown was
destined to roll a peanut around Reynolds
Square. 17th street and Passyunk avenue, i
The Braves won, so Brown, In the pres
ence of several hundred ultra-pleased
spectators, proceeded to pay his bet by
rolling a very small peanut, one selected
by the winner of the wager, around the
square with a CS-pound crowbar This
performance took place Immediately after
the news of yesterday's game was re
ceived. The Braves' victory over the Mackmen
causes a tie for world's series honors.
There have been ten series played. Na
tional League club have won five times
and American League clubs the same
number. This applies only to the series
games since the National Commission
took charge of the blue ribbon event In
IMS.
Captain Ira Thomas was one of the
first to congratulate the Boston players
on their victory after the last man had I
be.n retired In the final fray. I

RETREAT A
Gridiron Gleanings From Leading Colleges
Pennsylvania's Football
Team Is Very Much En
couraged by Showing
Against Lafayette and
Hope to Beat Navy Satur
day. By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
BiiTlng accidents or some surprising re
versal of form the University of Penn
sylvania coaches know what will be their
line-up against the Navy here on Satur
day. They will stand pat on tho lino from
end to end, und In the backdeld they
will make one substitution, Matthews fur
Moffctt. The line-up, of course, Is not
final, for no man in this sqund can ever
feel sure he has his position won.
The shift of Matthews from end to half
back promises to be permanent. Ho was
originally slated for a place In the back
field nnu would have been a fixture there
but for a dean!; of fiist-class ends. Then
Assistant Coach Dickson took him and
was fast convening him Into a capable
end when he turned his nnklo and was
out of tho sumo for 10 days. In the
meantime Uiquhart and Alurdoek came to
life on the two wings, and so long as they
maintain their present stride and escape
injuries nil Dlcksou will have to worry
about will be the .question of substitutes.
Matthews will add a great deal ot
strength to the backfleld. Primarily he
Is one of the heaviest men on tho team,
weighing 1&S pounds, and with this ho
combines a great deal of speed, ability
to handle the forward pass nnd drop
kick. Geoigo Brooke thinks that Mat
thews has great possibilities as a drop
kicker, and Biooke ought to know a drop
kicker when he sees him. I'nfortunately,
Matthews hasn't had much success in the
d'up kicking line cither In games or prac
tice. He kicks too low, but with the
constant coaching ho will get from
Brooke he ought to develop fast.
Followers of the Pennsylvania team
are anxious to see If Matthews Is more
dependable as a drop kicker than Vree
lAid as a place kicker. The fact that
Vreeland came to Pennsylvania with a
reeord of having kicktd nine Held goals
fiom placement In a single season, as
well as 24 out of W attempts at goals
fiom touchdown, has determined the
coaches to give him a thorough trial.
Glenn Warner, the Indian coach, used
to maintain that a good place kicker Is
always better than a drop kicker, because
he can take his time to kick, and
if he Is at all accurate will score more
goals.
The varsity took a great deal of satis
faction In beating the freshmen eleven
yesterday. The youngsters had been out
playing their elders so consistently that
the one team was overrated and the
other underrated. The fact that the var
a'ty had the upper hand yesterday was
a pretty good index of the Improvement
this team has made. Even then there
were a good many distressing faults in
their play. The interference, which was
well-nigh perfect against Iifayette,
wasn't up to tjie mark yesterday. But
tho spirit was there, and we may rea
sonably look for this team to Improve
steadily from this time on-

JAKE SCHAEFER
FALLS BEFORE
SUTTON'S SKILL
Youthful Player Loses to
Experienced Opponent in
Final 14.1 Billiard
Matches.
As the result of yesterday's games In
the Professional Billiard Players' League,
George Sutton's cxperclnce proved too
much for Jake Schacfor In their 1200
polnt 14.1 billiard match at Alllnger's
Academy. Score. 1200 to 819. The players
met In thrco games at 400 points each nnd
Sutton won easily on every occasion.
In the afternoon game yesterday, young
Sehaefer showed none of tho form that
characterized his late father's play, and
was like a novice in the hands of tho
experienced Sutton. Time and again,
Schuefer fell down on easy draw and
carom shots, whllo Sutton, playing a
careful, nursing game, rolled up points
almost at will.
On tho other hand, Schacfor appeared
unable to get the Ivories In a good posi
tion for a run, nnd even when ho did,
failed to keep them together. Sutton's
highest run was CI In the third Inning,
while the best that Schuefer could do
was a cluster of II late In the game, when
tho Isaue wus all but decided.
Sutton's youthful opponent showed
much better billiards in the evening game,
and came within an aco of defeating him.
After getting away to a poor start,
Schaefer really outplayed hli opponent,
and held the lead up until the last mo

Again the "honesty of baseball" Is
proven. I-ast year thousands believed
that the Athletics would throw the last
game In New York In order that the next
game might be played In Philadelphia,
thereby putting many dollars Into the
coffers qf the Giants and Athletics' clubs.
But the Macks took that game, then re
turned to the ticket purchasers their
money for the third game. This same
thing has Just occurred and again proves
that the national pastime is 00. the level.

Secretary John Kalbfus, of tho Penn
sylvania Board of Qamo Commissioners at
Harrlsburg, Pa., lias written for the.
Evening LCDaErt soveral articles on same
questions which should prove to bo enter

Secretary Kalbfus has tho following
comments to mako In his first lotter:
Sporting Editor Evening Ledger.
Sir in compllanco with your request I
wrlto you today relative to tho game con
ditions In Pennsylvania, and lit tho be
ginning desire It' understood that tho
Oamo Commission of this Stato considers
hunting a national necessity. Wo bcllova
tho rocreatlon thus secured means better
health to many and thercforo hotter cltl
zcnshlp. It keeps men out of tho hos
pitals; It gives thoso who hunt a better
understanding of natural conditions, but
above all, tits our young mon to bccom
soldiers in time of need. Tho American
volunteer, with limited discipline nnd
drill, Is considered tho equal of any regu
lar on the face of tho earth.
"To maintain an adequate supply of
game, to satisfy hunters and mako ,omo
slight Incentive to hunting, Is no small
task. Last year more than 305,000 men
paid their dollar for the resident huntei'a
license. Fully 20.000 men hunted for deer
with rifles In this Stato last year. Under
tho law, land owners and tho lessees of
land and their children, who reside upon
and cultlvata that land may hunt theieon
without securing the license. Wo belleva
that fully 100,000 men took advantage of
this provision: farmers, either owners or
lessees, with their families, making alto
gether fully 400,000 hunt cis In this com
monwealth last fall. Wo bellevo that an
expenditure of $10 per man Is a fair esti
mate of money spent in hunting, guns,
ammunition, hunting clothes, rnllioad
fare, uutomobllo expense and time, mak
ing altogether $1,000,000 spent to tako gamo
In Pennsylvania. Up to last year tha
Game Commission was given J20.100 where

more than 20 per cent, of all gumo pro
duced; vermin, foxes, wild cats, weasels,
certain hawks and owls, house cats and
crows destroying the great majority of
the SO per cent, remaining, with the ele
ments, cold, starvation and dlsea.se still
to be considered.
"I am told that I am the oldest game

I'nltcd States. For fully 20 years I hat.j

In disappointment by those to whom thd
unpleasant task of distributing Stato
funds had been entrusted, many of them
giving mo to understand that whllo they
believed all I had said upon the subject,
there were other things to consider, such
ns hospitals, with their surgeons, nurses,
medicines, paraphernalln, etc.; schools,
with their books, teachers and various
apparatus, civic advancement, etc.. that,

disbursement of Stato moneys, meant
more benefit to more people than could
come through large appropriations to tho
limited number of those who hunt anil

Stato recognized theso conditions, nnd as

resident hunter's license law,
which requires each hunter, when hunt

Of tho money thus collected one-half goes
to the payment of bounties, and the le
