1915 Magcc's Departure Will Weaken bvcr
Shrinking Nucleus of "Pat's Pets"
The n(Milnc of Bhorwood Stnireo from the" ranks of the Phillies murks the almost
complete, demolition of the 1018 machine which Kavo the New York Q ants b.ic I. a
Jmuous run for pennant money. During the last two months of startling hascball
5XSnn. h. PhllHm have been somewhat overlooked by tho general public.
mxh .reason for this has been that the departure of Bender, ""'?.
"VC&'jftns, of the Athletics, has overshadowed every other locnl deal, either pehdlng or
Ttn.ii. .i, ..m n. tii rnnnta MnrW trill
1915 season Is a vastly different one from that which besaii Its championship cam
paign In 1913. there Is not the marked difference between Mnck's rosier now and two
years ago as there Is between those of the Thlllles which are separated by two
sewons. Furthermore, the riddling of the Phillies' ranks has not yet been completed.
Thus far no disposition has been made of ex-Manager Dooln. although ho has staien
In no uncertain terms that he would not play with his former teammates under any
consideration. Then the case of Hans Lobert Is still hanging fire. Kans has been
engaging In serious flirtations with Federal I,eaguo magnates. That tho speedy third,
baseman Is more than seriously thinking of lightly leaping from organised baseha I
was shown by his recent trip to the West, when ho vlallcd "outlaw moguls In St.
Louis and Chicago.
ALEXANDER ONLY VETERAN PITCHER IN PHILADELPHIA
drover Alexander Is tho only veteran pitcher who will be seen In a major league
Uniform In Philadelphia next summer. The Athletics have not a single twlrlcr who
can be called even a near-veternn. Tho Phillies arc no less Bhy on seasoned box
material, with the lone oxcoptlon of their wonderful right bonder. The youngsters
Upon -whom Manager Pat Moran will depend next season are Tlncup. Mayer, Marsha l,
Bixey and Baumgartner. Connie Mack has now but rive men with whom ho would
be willing to start a championship gnme In tho American League. They nro uusn,
finawksr and Wyckoff. right Handera, and Brcssler and Pennock, left handers. ur
these youngsters. Bob Bhawkey In tho oldest, 24. but ho has been In major league
company only since the middle of tho season of 1913. Bush has had longer experi
ence with the Athletics than any of his team-mates and ho has reached the voting
age. It Is possible that the Phillies may get a pitcher from the Boston Braves when
the Magee deal has been settled, but thoy will not get any member of the james-Tyler-Rudolph
trio, which means that they will not get a high-grade performer.
Connie Mack has his eye on a number of youngsters, but, an far as can be ascer
tained, ho has not a veteran In prospect The only chance for the Athletics to get a
man of experience for the box would be for Comlskey to open his heart and let
Mack have one of his many excellent hurlcrs. That, however. Is unlikely, as tho Olfl
Homan Is out to win a pennant, and In giving 150,000 for Eddie Collins he lias
hown that he does not Intend to stop at the ordinary limits to reconstruct his team.
MANY ARE GONE AND SOME ARE EVEN FORGOTTEN
Taking the players who stood pre-eminent on the Phllly club of 1313 and those
who will start South In less than two months, It Is ovldcnt that the overwhelming
majority hare removed from the vicinity of Broad and Lehigh. Some of thoso players
Ml ....... t, rnr-trnttnn tliif nthai-a VlOVi. nlfflixlv nnSied frOtTl the lien Of lOCO.1 fanUOITI.
The leading players who will not be In Phllly
of 1818 are Charley Tlooln. manager; KnaDo. .uooian, minor, oiageo, umimnn, .v..,
Brennan. Beaton and Devore. Furthermore, Blnco all of these men were members
of the Phllly organisation the club has changed owners. Billy Locke, the president In
1813, Is dead. W. F. Baker Is president and Pat Moran Is manager.
The veterans who are still on the Phllly bread roll aro few. They are. at present.
Klllefer, Luderus. Lobert. Paskert, Cravath and Alexander, but, nB already men
tioned, the chancel are greater than over that Lobert will not bo here whon the
season begins.
Colonel Ituppert, the angler for the Yankees, says that he will have a winning
dub If. he takes over the New Tork stock. He hasn't taken It over yet. and one of
the reasons assigned Is that ho cannot get the privilege to sell his own beer at the
Polo Grounds. If both'1 of these statements are true, the Colonel should remember
that he probably wouldn't sell much of his brew, anyway. Tho reason why the
business was so good last summer was because the play of the Yankees drove the
trpecUtors to drink. (And Harry HtevonB didn't kick at all I)
THE BUSHER'S PLAINT
Ten thousand shortstops In the bush '
Where pumpkin vines and players grow.
Are positive of fame and cush
If only they can got a show;
They havo no doubts, these players know
' No obstaolo or trick may mar
Their futures if they get a show;
Each one believes he'll bo a star.
Ten thousand shortstops danced with glee
And dreamed of scads nnd scads of rocks
And many went upon a spree
. . When Mack sold CoUIna to tho Sox.
T
. Regardless of the blg-Ieaguo knocks
Upon the bustier's claim to fame,
These shortstop men whom nothing shocks
Began to snap up In their gamo.
'
4 Each one believes he'll fill the shoes
Of Collins with the Mack Machine,
Each one believes he cannot lose
;, And that his value will be seen. -"
And snatched up by the leader lean;
And so ten thousand pen points dance
To wise up Connie to be keen
And give each busher "Just a chance."
L'ENVOI
Connie, when all the notes are read
We know you will not dance with glee,
And ere that time, let It be said,
- - You need a world of sympathy.
FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. WOMEN TO SWIM IN OPEN MEET
Women who aspire to open aquatic championships will have the opportunity of
a, lifetime January 2 to 9 at Madison Square Garden, when, for the first time In the
history of the sport, they will be permitted to compete against males. The events
r to he regularly scheduled championship ones, and from present nccounts. there
will be a good number of women entered. The New York Athletic Club will have
ruBterluTmeSas Arthur McAleenan. Jr.. J. C. Wheatley and II. E Vollmer In
the going, so that the fair swimmers will have some rather strenuous times making
any sort of a how nff.tg convlctIon that for the present, at least, the mixed
swimming contests are not going to be wonderful successes. It Is believed
i that women now given the right to compete with men will be Interested for
awhile, but later will not care to pit their strength against that of men. Some
have said the fact that the Amateur Athletio Union recognized the women
Indicates that tney oeueve tne uroo o i "5" """" ". ." -vantage
in the athletic pastime against man. Suffice It to say we do not be
lieve women should be permitted to compete at tho same set of games with
the men and against men. In some Instances women become unusually
proficient in the water, and likewise In many other branches of sport, but
general Up-top development Is not the rule. Miss Annette Kellermann la a
wonder tn the water, but she Is one of the exceptions. An a professional.
r of course, she cannot compote In the A. A. U. events. To stimulate the
members of her sex to greater endeavor, she has. however, offered a special
silver loving cup to be awarded the successful woman swimmer at tho
Madison Square Garden championships.
SOME EXPRESSIONS, WISE AND OTHERWISE
"Packey" MoFarland. one of America's cleverest boxers, has had a wide and
Tarled experience, and, of course, has piled up a good bit of knowledge by being
knocked about in the world. Some of his sayings would do credit to a Plato,
Demosthenes, Solomon or a Socrates.
" Boxing Is the best sport in the worjd. It has done more for me than any
other business could. It has brought me in contact with the best people
liyjnsr ,
' ' One thing ha hurt boxing more than anything lhat Is, having a Negro
as ite heavyweight champion. ..,..,.,
With a white champion, boxing would be highly regarded and legalized
i Only a sense of patriotism would make me fight again; the lightweight
championship doesn't belong In England. It ought to be brought back here
i I have ail the money I need. The glory to be gained In boxing can do
me little good now. . ,, j, . , , . . ... . ...
' Preachers or reformers should not deery boxing; Instead, they should
entourage It from a defensive standpoint for our growing generation. It
need not be a brutal sport. I had but one blaok eye In my life and I never
mffwed a. nosebleed from a blow. , . . .

GOLF ASSOCIATION
AVOIDS RANK TROUBLE
Shows Tennis Commltteo a Way to
Prevent Dissensions.
Kvery year, when the Ranking Com
mittee of tho United States National
Lawn Tennis Association announces its
ranking list for tho season, n storm of
protest is heard from tho sections of the
country whose Individual stars havo not
received recognition, and this year cer
tainly was no exception. The tennis offi
cials could learn something from the
United States Golf Association by not
naming the list.
The Oolf Association has Just aa much
right to submit a ranking list of golfers
as the Tennis Association.
Of course, seldom. If ever, will any one
make the statement that there are golfers
who are capable ot playing a better game
than tho man who wins tho national
amateur championship, but this Is Just
as liable to happen oxactly as It has
happened In the tennis world. Sober ro
ilectlon of their plnylng ability must
surely result In tho thought that today
McLaughlin la a better tennis player than
Williams, who, notwithstanding the fact
that he Is the rational champion and
had beaten McLaughlin In the challenge
round -for-.the title, was ranked below the
Calif ornlan.
A great many followers of golf feel that
Chick Evans is tho beat golfer In America.
