It was just nbout baseball, but perhaps
it went fonn thiiiR lllto this:
Sundni Pil lll.o to have a chanco to

MACK TO USE SHAWKEY
TO LIVEN MORGUE-LIKE
LOOKS OF SHIBE PARK
Athletics' Right - h a n d e r
Slated to Pitch Today in
Effort to Capture at
Least One Game From
Donovan's Bunch.
During tho last few days, Shlbo Park
has had tho general appeal anco of a
morgue. To bo sure thero havo been
many IllumlnntitiR plays and many which
wero n credit to tho Mnekmcu, jet tho
poor pitching has resulted In :i temporary
slump by the team as a whole.
This afternoon Mack Intends to uso
his dependable ilghthnntlciv Robert Shaw
key, to lescuo tho tlili it game from tho
Yankees. JInck Is determined that ho
will make It n draw with Donovan's
people.
In order to accomplish this he must
enpturo today's affair und follow that
with 11 victory tomorrow. Connlo Is
therefore bent upon having Slmwkey and
Lapp for his battery, against Donovan's
selection which probably will bo Ilrown
and Sueenoy. If tho crstulilta Athletics"
huilcr is not used against tho White
Klephants, Wnrhop will get tho assign
ment. Otherwlso tho llno-ups of tho two teams
will bo the sumo as In that disastrous
gamo yesterday, when tho Yanks had the
bettor of 11 long drawn-out nrgument
with tho score It to 0.
Yostcidny tho Mackmcn mndo enough
hits to win nlmost any old ball game ex
cept tho 0110 In which thoy happened to
be. Fifteen times, Athletic cloutsmen
slammed tho ball safely off tho delivery
of Hay Caldwell, yet they mado only six
talllos. The illffcrenco In tho runs 1b ac
counted for bv tho inlsplays of tho A's,
who hail si- 1 harped against them. Two
of lliCM! weie long, wild thmws by Uipp
nnd loiillv funned lht tinning point of
tho game.
Herb IVnnoek Rot oft to a bad start,
which resulted In his retirement nfter
tho el.th inning. In the seventh Wilbur
Davis, tho man who lias often hit tho
Trail of tho Loncsomo Pine, went In.
Wilbur wna wild and Ineffective, but the
Yanks were so far ahead that they did
not dent tho young pitcher's feelings nt
severely ns ,thcy might, had they been
pressed.

PENN RELAY RUNNERS
HAVE GREAT RECORD
Since 1895 Quakers Have Won
21 Championships at Its Car
nival. Somo surpilslng iesult were obtained
recently In glancing ovei tin' wlnneis nf
tlio v aliens events since the reln. inrnl
Mil was started In IWli The most (sur
prising result ns Unit Peiins.vh.inla has
won mnro Hum double the number of
rduy championships than thoso won by
nny other college. In nil. Pcnn has won
21 relay championships of America. In
both the two nnd four miles I'enn has
won elKlit championships The niie-inllf
championship Iiob gone to Pennsylvania
tlmo times, while the fieshman ehim
pUmsiilp has been won by Pcnnsxlv.inla
on two occasions.
Y'nlo Is second on the list for champion
ship honors, having won tlio one-mile flva
times, the two-milo threo times and the
fcur-mllo twice, In nil 10 championships.
Michigan comes nest with eight victories,
six of which wero won In the four-mile
inco und two In tho tuo-nille champion
ship. Though Michigan lias had severnl line
nni'-mllo tennis, thej, have never yet won
that championship. Harvard ties Ynle with
thn number of vletailes In the one-mile
chnmpiouship, having scored five times
Thoy have one victory to their credit In
tho twn and the four-mile championships.
Chicago bus been very successful In the
onn-mllo championship, which they have
won five times. Coneli Stagg has alwa.wi
been n great de eloper of qunrtcr-mllers,
nnd the yenrs In which he has not won,
his teams have alwas been close to the
front.
Illinois nnd Princeton nro next, with
three lctorles each Princeton has won
tho tuo-mllo championship once ami tho
fieshmnu championship twice Illinois
has bcorod one victory each In tho ono
mllo, two miles and tlfo freshmen cham
pionship. Dartmouth has two victories
to her credit, one In tho tno miles nnd
ono in tlio Ci cabman championship.
Cornell. Columbia, Syutcuse and Oxford
Unlveisily each have one victory to their
credit.
The sin prise of this list Is Iho fact that
Cornell has onlv won ono Jciory out of
tho mnn times tho have been at
Finnklln Field. This may bo duo to
the fact that ioach Moakley docs not
desire to got his men In shape for thoso
events, though In ninny quarters It has
been attributed to hard luck.
in the enily days of tho races Y'nlo and
Hnivard noio tho most prominent win

as In tho Inst 10 years tlicso two colleges
havo given away In track athletics to

Francisco, a most unjust verdict, by ths
way.
Tom Jones handled my affairs when I
fought Morris nt the Garden, nnd as he
went Into the building the night of the
fight and up to our dressing room, we
happened to pass the room where Morris
was dressing for tho ring lie stopped
Jones nnd called him Into the room,
"Tom, I wnnt von to do my business
nrter this fight," lie said "I'll give this
Kansas fellow a good trimming tonight
nnd then wo can talk business. What do
you say'"
As experienced ns Jones Is lie was
taken off his feet bv the nerve of that
declaration. Ho hesitated for a moment,
nnd then he nnswcied:
j "That's a gamo way to talk. Carl, and
I T lllto .xour nerve. 1 wouldn't mind doing
xour business, but you've got to show me
that you can trim this man of mine, I
think ho can beat tho world, and nlways
thought ho could bent u especially.
We'll see nfter thn battle."
Jones told me what ho had said nnd 1
wns good nnd mnd It wasn't the first
tlmo ho had slammed nt me. for he wns
knocking me eery opportunity.
Thai's why I felt that I had a grudge
against him when I fared him thnt night
in New Vorlt. And I quickly discovered
that I could bent him. And, bellovo me.
It was nne pleasuro to do It. Hverj' time
I sunk n glovn Into 'him it made mo feel
good, and I couldn't help laughing all
the way through.
Usually I hato to sco Wood on nn op
ponent, tmt In Morris' case It mado m
feel good When t knew I hurt other
opponents, felt sorry, and often I have
tlellliptiitPly let up on them.
I did this In my battle with Tom Mo
Mabon. a much smnlter man. He was
a terrible looking sight before wo got
thiouRli. nnd then I eased up, only to
the end the next day that ono writer hail
kImmi a newspaper decision against me.
So xou see it doesn't nlwns pay to be
kind tn nn opponent.

with a percentage nf t 0W
The Southern batsmen garnered one
moro hit thnn their opponents, but they
scored only n lone run to Northeast's
five. Kcllar, who is twirling finely for
tho Sth street and Lehigh avenue boys,
kept Southern's halt dozen blnglcs well

fourth frame tho South Philadelphia base

Central High School, holder of the
Princeton trophy, symbolic of the chnm
piouship, ployed Its second league match,
nnd again the Crimson and Gold nine

Infield and outfield men also are showing
tip splendidly. At the bat Northeast has
been displaying better form than any of
the other entries In tho organization.
The two defeats suffered by Central
High have been the surprise of the season
thus far. Previous to tho opening of the
annual Inlei scholastic campaign it looked
ns it Doctor O'Hrlen hnil a bunch of
leather heavers who would repeat their
1914 ctory. However, the Crimson and
Hold will have to do some tall hustling
tn boating out N'ortlienst High, after the
bitter's three consecutive victories.
Tho track team of Peun Charter Is
showing up tlnel. The Little Quakers
.uiiled the second tcaln to their str'nit
