Manager Is SHU Hopeful Let Pennock Go at Waiver

1'oslble Friction In Club Hanks
, Manager Atnck's statement means that there was something more than
lack of pitching ability back of tho release of Pennock, and revives the old
rumors about friction In the club last summer. It Is said In some quarters
that Pennock wns dlssatlsned and that he went about his woik In a (.airless
j ahd Indlfferont manner. This attitude Is a grout hindrance when a club Is In a
slump and must be rebuilt, ns It tends to make others Indifferent and dust toys

Mack Has String of Collegians to Report Soon
While Manager Mack would not nnnounce who tho collegians nie who
are to join the team In two weeks' time. It Is generally believed that they arc
Pitchers Juci. of Northwestern; Mai tin of Kordham, and Crowther, of mown;
Inflclders Carroll, of Kordhitm, and Bnbblngton, of Urown, and nn outfielder In
New England who Is now being watched by Ira Thomas. Mack says that
to announce the names now would Impair the amateur standing of tho players,
and that they have not really signed their contracts, but have accepted terms.
If the Athletics have really landed duel, they have tho Iron man of the
collegiate baseball world. Several pitchers in the West and also In the Kast
have much belter winning records than Juel, but none has shown tho same
consistent work. Last week ho pitched against Ohio State and Minnesota on
successive days, with a long train rldo between, and allowed only five hits in
both games and struck out 26 batsmen. Throughout tho season ho has per
formed similar feats, and whenever Northwestern has two conference chnm
, pionshlp games scheduled on successive days, Juel always performs In both
- and with great success. And best of all from a local standpoint, he does not
average a base on balls a game. Northwestern ranks high In the AVestern
conference standing, despite Its poor team nnd absence of a catcher who
. can hold Juel.

Fifteen Years of Good Luck, So Why Squeal?
The Injury to Lajole, so closely following the accidents to Mclnnls, Oldring,
Strunk and Schang, gives tho Athletics Its worst crippled list since tho organi
zation of the club In 1901. It has often been said that Mack was lucky, and
that the team would fall to pieces If It ever had the bad luck that has per
sistently followed the Phillies.
Tho test Is here and the team Is riddled far worse than the Phillies
ever were. Through It all Mack smiles. Instead of crying out against the
luck, as had been predicted by rival managers and scribes, Manager Mack
takes the misfortune as a matter of course.
"I have no kick coming." said Mack, when It was suggested that he would
hardly have enough men left to put a team of major league calibre on the
..field, "In 15 years we have been mighty lucky In this respect, and I am only
getting my share. I consider It ns a pretty good thing that It Is all coming
at once. We will be greatly handicapped Just at a time when I thought the
team would start to play great ball, but we will not go entirely to pieces, und

Fighting Spirit of the Makeshift Team
The versatility of several members of the Athletics Is really remarkable.
When tha team took the field on Saturday with Its makeshift line-up there was
. hardly a spectator In the grounds who did not expect to see the Athletics get
two of the worst beatings they over received. To sny that the result of the
double-header was a surprise Is stating tho case mildly, and it was not luck
that enabled the Mackmen to put up such fine ball. If anything, all tho luck
-was with the Red Sox. but the local team kept everlastingly at It and came
close to capturing both games.
It might be well to mention nlso that there Is hardly another manager In
tho game who would have thought of taking n chance on Horry Davis ns a
pinch hitter In the ninth Inning of the first game. Since returning from tho
South, Davis has had absolutely no batting practice, but Mack was figuring
on Davis' great nerve and the fact that he always hit southpaws hard.
Seldom has a player received a greater ovation than Davis from the crowd
when he walked across the field after he had driven in h ,..ir,i ,.u
a. line smash to left. The crowd was small, but It made enough noise at this
Juncture for a 20,000 aggregation.
Hendricksen, (he Ileal Hard Luck Player
The hard luck player of baseball. This Is the title that is generally
bestowed on Olaf Hendricksen, the sterling utility outfielder of the Boston
lied Sox. This young man is admittedly strong enough to break In as a
. regular on any team in the two leagues except tho Red Sox. Carrlgan has
an outfield that is generally considered the best In tho country, barring none

that will not be broken up until one of Its members shows unmistakable
blgns of slowing up. Hendricksen will get in the game as a regular then
lut not before, despite his unusual ability.
As a pinch hitter there ore few better In the game, and It wns this young
man who acted as a pinch hitter In the final game of the world's series be
tween the Red Sox and Giants in 1912 and drove in the tying run with two
men out In the ninth Inning by walloping one of Mathowson's choice shoots
to left for a double. Had It not been for this drive tho Giants would have
won In nine innings and the championship title would have belonged to
. them Instead of the Red Sox. who finally triumphed In extra Innings

One Stroke Lands Golf Ball in 122-Yard Hole
Golfers love to talk of great featK on the green, but it Is not believed a
more spectacular Incident has occurred in years than that In the tournament
of, the Garden City, Golf Club, on Long Island recently. Prestley 8. MacLaugh
lin, of Scarsdale, Ta.. negotiated a 122-yard hole In one stroke. In accomplish
ing the stunt, MacLaughlln used a mldlron off the tee. and th hail nin.nL. i..
perfect line about six feet short of the cup. Then it rolled gently into the
cup. Never before In the history of the Garden City tournaments haB such a
wonderful feat been attained, and it may be a lifetime before any of the par
tlclpants witness such a drive. It was pot the longest drive on record, by any
means, but Indicates the nicety to which an expert can gauge his distance.

THE BRAVE JOLT.
After Inspecting the Brave camp at
.Macon Inst March wo came away wlt.i
the idea that the Champs were without
any touch of more than ordinary conceit.
Whereas a keen observer we happen
to know Informs us that super-conceit
has been the main trouble with the Bravot
mi ima spring, -j happen to know," he
writes, "not fiom hearsay, but from what
I have seen myself, that a very serious
case of sw-ell-headlsm afflicted almost the
entire club. They couldn't nvvii.
else. But nbout ten hard raps In a row
nnd a few things Gaffney nnd Stalllnss
have whispered Into their ears have nhout
brought them to earth again. I believe
from now- on they will play better boll
and will soon get back Into their olJ
hustling swing."
This may or may not bo tho case. But
It sounds reasonable ennmrh a.. k.
Braves were certainly no club to figure
themselves beyond any range. They were
merely a good ball club with wonderful
splrlt-not a great one by any stretch of
a vivid Imagination.
Sport and Conceit
One rare feature about sport is the way
the game, any old game, drives the con
celt out of any contender. The Champ
figures he is tho ultimate Klng-untll
some bloke comes along and knocks his
upreared block off or takes his Job and
drives him back to the bush. For no
entry wns ever great enough to hold In
definite rule. It is nlways a matter of
Just how long it will be before a better
man arrives. And It isn't often very long.
It has never delivered In proportion to
tho quality of Its material. A noncom
bntant looking on would say that the
club has never hustled nnd fought as It
should have dono und has been too In
clined to accept big pay for only partial
service.
"I forgot," writes Plauto Pete: "Is Jess
Wlllard making $1C0 a day or flOOO a
tveek?" We've forgotten, too. And the
difference Is too slight to bother about
further.
The golfer who said he got on the first
green, 100 yards away, with a drive and
four screaming brassies, recalls the case
of another golfer who boueht n braasln
from George Low. Ho finished the round
with great praise for his purchase. "A
wonderful club," ho said to Low at tho
last green. "On tho 17th hole I played
four of the finest brassta shots with It you
ever saw." Tho 17th hole Is about 380
yards long.
"What's the trouble with the Yonks?"
Off-hand wo should say a paucity of
tallies In comparison with the number set
up by tho opposing faction.
A golfer leturnlng from Boston reports
Francis Oulmet, preparing for the open
championship, to bo better than ever.
Then he must bo holding out his teo
shots, or at least his full Irons.
Tho Phillies haven't cracked under the
strain yet, but they have begun to feel
aometning give way.

Cornell's supremacy In track and field
athletics was more firmly established
than ever by the overwhelming victory
of the Ithacans on Franklin Field Satur
day nfterno6n.
The result was forecast In this column
five weeks ago, at which time It was
pointed out that John F. Moakley, Cor
nell coach, hnd In the first stages of de
velopment a group of men who were
sute to scoro an nvcrage of mote than
one place In every event on tho pro
gram. That Is what Cornell did. Tho
Itlmcnns got 18 places In 10 nt the 13
events. It mattered not that they won
only a single first; they had cnouRh sec
onds, thirds, fourths and fifths to give
them a totnl of 45 1-2 points.
This wns not tho biggest total ever
made In these games, for It has been sur
passed thtee times. In 1S59 Pennsylvania
established tho record-breaking total '
67 points with Just eight winners. In 1698
the Qunkers milled 60 3-4 points. Har
vard ranks next to Pennsylvania as top
scorer, for In 1M1 tho Crimson won with
a scoro of 45 2-3, one-sixth of a point bet
ter than tho Ithacans' total on Saturday.
Tho Harvard and Pennsylvania scores
were made with only four places count
ing, white this year five places counted
with increased valuation for second,
third and fourth places and ono point
for fifth.-
At t'ne same tlmo Cornell hnd to over
come stlffer competition than there used
to be. The all-around strength of tho
Ithncans Is further Indicated by the fact
that theirs was tho first team thnt ever
won a championship with only a single
flrst-plnto winner. Tills victory will fur
ther intensity track enthusiasm at Cor
nell, already higher than nt any other unl-vei-;:
m America, and Drobablv more
and more ambitious schoolboy athletes
will wish to place themselves under the
earn of .lack Moakley, who has suc
ceeded the lato Mike Murphy as the
greatest doveloper and conditioner of
nChletes in this country. f
So much attention centred on'the team
championship that ono Is likely to ovor
look individual performances. Of tho In
dividuals, J. E. Meredith, of Pennsylva
nia, towers head and shoulders above his
ilvals In tho quarter and half mile runs,
and even without Meredith both fields
would 'nave ranked above tho average.
Meredith's performance In winning the
'quarter and half mllo events In the won
derful tlmo ho did was comparable only
to tho work of A. C, Kraenzleln, who
scored is points, with three nrsts and a
second, in 1000. Iu his own field Meredith
was undoubtedly as great as Kraenzleln,
which means that he s'nould bo lanked
among the half dozen greatest athletes
the world has ever seen.
In scoring his double victory Meredith
accomplished something that no other
athlete ever did under the same condi
tions. It Is true that In 1SS2. 1SS3 nnd 1SS4
W. H. Goodwin, Jr., of Harvard, won
both these events; but that was more
than 30 years ngo, when tho competition
was not keen and when It was not even
necessary to run preliminary heats. Tho
entire meet, then, was run oft In a
single afternoon. Goodwin won these
thrce-quarter-mllo races In 63, 611-5 and
62 3-5 seconds, respectively, and the half
miles in 2:02 2-5, 2.02 nnd 2.051-5. When
these times are compared with a quarter-
mile in 48 seconds and a half-mile In
1:54 2-5, run on n slow track and after
two hard preliminary heats, the miracu
lous aspect of Meredith's performance ls
the moro evident.
If Meredith had met, the same field In
each race thcro would never have been
nny question about his ultimate victories.
But In each ho had a new field to con
quer, nnd all were fresh men primed
to defeat him. In the quarter he had
Wlllcox, of Harvard, with his .recent
mark of 4S seconds, and Wllklc, of Tale,
with a mark of 43 2-6 seconds. To make
Meredith's defeat doubly sure, Harvard
kept Bingham out of the quarter-mile
and trained him all spring exclusively
for the half. Then Cornell kept Spelden
out of the mile solely to beat Meredith.
Yet Meredith shook off his opponents
with what looked like ridiculous ease.
Both races he tan with perfect Judgment
and worked himself out of boxes with a
Skill enough to dishearten the ordinary
mortal. The case with which he won
both races is convincing proof that had
he realized his strength last year he
could have won the half-mile as well as
tho quarter and would today hold the
intercollegiate record.
Weather and racing conditions were not
quite right for Meredith to make a world
record in the quarter-mile, but he is sure
to create new figures Just as soon as he
gets these conditions. The track was n
little soggy and there was humidity In the
ntmosphere. Then, too, lit vthls event Wil
kle and Wlllcox showed that they were
afraid of Meredith and did not dare to
set the pace for the first 300 yards. Had
either carried Meredith to the home
stretch three or four yards faster, as they
could have done, the record would have
been nearer 47 than 43 seconds. It Is to
be hoped that Meredith will try for n new
mark soon, preferably In a handicap race,
for it was under such conditions that
