i w " ifflpwypwpp EVENING LBDK.B l'UILAUBLl'niA, FRIDAY, nEOEMBEK 31," lttlo- 12 EDDIE PLANK AND OTHER FEDS WILL ADD GREAT STRENGTH TO ST. LOUIS AMERICANS,: 9 I, ST. LOUIS BROWNS TO HAVE GREATEST PITCHING STAFF IN EITHER LEAGUE IN 1916 Mound City American Leaguers, Long Looked Upon as Joke Team of Game, May Be Serious Contender for Pennant FOIl oIrIiI years baseball scribes, fans, nntl even players, have licen poltltiR tun nt the St. I.ouIr Hrowns. Two or three player threatened to quit tho Batno when nn attempt was tnailo to trade them to tho Hrowns, as this was considered a calamity by ball players. Minor leaguers havo been known to put up horrlblo exhibitions when tipped off that a scout for the Si. I.oUls Americans was In tho stand looking them over. Another year In tho minor league, field was preferable to playing with the Hrowns. It was not always thus. When the American T.cnRiio first started, and until 11 had been In existence for years. It was always regarded as one nf tho strongest teams In tho circuit, but carelessness on the part of the manage ment caused the Hrowns to sink Into tho rut Jimmy MeAIeer retained his veterans too long, and the team went completely to pieces In ISO'S. He had neglected to school youngsters to take their place, and the Ofowns tiovor re covered. Probably all the unkind remarks and slurs hurled at the Hrowns weie de. served because they surely wore as poor a team as one could find ntiywhelo until Branch Hlckey took charge. IMckcy improved matters some by putting eome fight Into his men, but it was still far from being a hall team. DmIiir tho 1915 season Illckey picked up a few sensational youngsters and was ap parently duo to bring his team closo to the first division. Fifth Place Was Usual Aim of Hrowns, lint They Always Knilcti Nothing better than a fifth plnco team was hoped for by the Mound I'lty fans, who had become so used to having n tall-end American dengue club that they did not know how to net when the Hrowns played ical ball. Tlirre weeks ago It was a million to one that the Hrowns could not win the American Leaguo pennant, despite tho memory of tho miracles accomplished by Sellings and Moran. But terms of the peace agreement havo so completely changed tho aspect that tho Browns look like, an even bet against any other team In tho American Leaguo. Perhaps tho fans may think this Is stretching Imagination, but, ns pitching Is moro than half the battle, a glance at tho slab material avallablo will con vince one that this dopo Is correct. Tho Browns will hnvo n pitching srtnff superior to any In tho cntlro country after tho consolidation of tho Sloufcds and 1916 Browns. Bill Donovan Has Picked Hrowns as Pennant Winners "Wild Bill" Donovan, manager of tho Yankees, who Is spending the holi days at his home In this city, nlrcady has picked the Hrowns ns certain pen nant winners. This docs not mean that tho Hrowns will bo pennant winners becaune Bill la known to havo made several poor predictions regarding his Tanks, but It Just goes to show tho way sentiment has changed. Bill had a treat deal of trouble with his pitchers last season, and knows n. pitcher when he sees one. Ho agrees that the Hrowns will havo the greatest BtafC In tho country, with Eddlo Plank nnd Dave Davenport, of tho Kcds, added to Carl 'Wellman, Karl Hamilton nnd Ernest Koob, tho sensational jrounr MUthpaw of tho 1915 staff. Then there Is Hob Cirnnm, a star when ho Jumped Washington; Otis Crandall, a great relief pitcher, and two or three Feds' youngsters who will battlo with "Hope" Perryman, Harry lloch. Hill ' Phlllipps and sereral Browns' youngsters for tho extra twirling positions. ' Browns Will Have Four Wonderful Southpaws Bror of the staff are left-handers, nnd they all rank with tho best in tho , fcume. Of the certainties' on tho now staff Davenport Is tho right-handed . pitcher. This Is tho only faulty point in tho mnko-up of tho staff, and ono tnore high-class right-hander could bo used. Lcft-liatidod pitchers have greater Bucceas In the American League than Jn tho National, however, becauso tho majority of dangerous hitters In Johnson's league swing from tho left side of J tho plate. In the past Plank, Wellman nnd Hamilton havo found right-handed ' hitters Just as cosy as left-handers. Hut one moro good right-hander would , help. ITor eeveral seasons tho Browns havo been without a cnpnhlo first base man! have been experimenting at short and trusting third baso to tho veteran Jimmy Austin, who Is hardly better than a class AA minor leaguer. The out field was a makeshift affair until 1915, when the coming of SIsler completed n fairly strong trio, but Clarence Walker fell far below his 1911 form, and there i la room for Improvement. SIsler, Shotton nnd Pratt Only 191," Men to Hold Jobs Derrlll Pratt and Bert Shotton were the only Brownies of recent years who i played brilliant ball consistently, nnd with SIsler nro tho only members of the 1915 team, barring battery men, who will bo ablo to hold their positions . as regulars. Tho St. Louis Keds will supply tho men needed to round out a ; powerful team. In this respect the Browns nnd Cubs aro extremely lucky, as both aro merging with the Federal Leaguo teams, which had a lnrgo percentage t of tho best material of tho Independent leaguo. Thero Is little doubt that Horton, of tho Kcds, will beat out Jack Leary J and Ivan Howard, of tho 1915 Browns, for tho flrst-baso position. Horton was j tried out by tho White Sox and Yankees three years ago, but ho was sent back to tho Pacific Coast Leaguo for further seasoning. Ho has Improved I wonderfully and Is now considered strong enough to hold his own with tho i average major leaguo flrst-sacker. Johnson and Deal Will Replace Lavan nnd Austin Second baso will go to Derrlll Pratt, but Johnny Lavan probably will loo out at short to Johnson, who Jumped from tho Pacific Coast Leaguo and : was a Federal League sensation. Ho Is said to bo a finished player, much on 1 the order of Dave Bancroft. At third Jimmy Austin has virtually no chanco to beat out Deal, formerly of tho Braves. Deal was always a wonderful Holder, ' but a weak hitter. While at St. Louis Fielder Jones changed his stylo com pletely, and ho Improved his average moro than 50 points. George SIsler has one of tho outfield positions clinched, ns ho is recognized as a coming Cobb, and Bert Shotton should hold centro field against tho field, If ho does not start to go back. Tho other position will find Tobln, n sensa tional and highly touted youngster; Armanda Martians, another star, nnd Ward Miller, of the Feds, battling with Clarence Walker. If tho latter can show his 1914 form the Browns will have so much good outfield material that Fielder Jones will hardly know what to do with It. Federal Leaguer Probably Will Purchase Indians Reports from Cleveland Indicate that Charley Somcrs, tho man who Is responsible for the success of the American League, will be forced to get out of the game, and that the Indians will be sold to tho highest bidder. It Is safo to predict that a Federal Leaguer will be allowed to buy this franchise. This will make still another Fed magnate taken Into the fold. Harry Sinclair will soon purchase the Giants and another Fed magnate Is negotiating for the Beds. What a terrible defeat the Feds sustained nt the hnnda of O. B. In the peace parley. Camden Made Record When It Forgot Individual Play Individual play held the Camden Eastern League five back throughout tho season. On Wednesday evening thoy tried passing tho ball and hung up a record score at the expense of De Nerl. The 19 assists made by Camden Is conclusive proof that Individual play was forgotten. Tho excellent result obtained by passing the ball and helping the other fellow to a goal or two may awaken the Skeeters to the fact that they have the material at hand to get back In the pennant race If they pull together. Griffith la Anxious to "ITeip" Cleveland Clark Griffith Is certainly a philanthropic Individual. He says that ho Is willing to give the slow-footed Gondii, weak-hitting Morgan and crippled Boehlfng to the Cleveland Club In order to "strengthen" the Indians. He said that thero would be no trouble In arranging a trade whereby these three "stars" would Join the Indians. All the Washington manager wants for his three "stars" Is Guy Morton, who Is only worth as much as Griff's whole team, barring Walter Johnson. Griffith would not need a team If he had John son and Morton.

Thero wasn't any argu ment over It. Mis. PIkkoU Just climbed Into the hack seat and ocupled It occu pied It Ilti3h. Wo mot Smlthson outside of his gatngo on Itace strct. 1 Intro duced Mrs. rigeott, saying: ".Mrs. PiRgott, my mothcr-ln-Iaw, Mr. Smlthson. She thlnk'.s she'll enjoy going out with us for my Ilrat lesson." .Mrs. Plggott gavo Smlthson a short bow anil got In. She Isn't much of a talker, either. Smlthson took mo nslde and snld, "Is sho Insured?" "No." I snld. "Why!" "Aro you veiy fond of her?' he asked. "She's a pretty good sport," I an swered, "but tlrm." "Firm?" said Smlthson. "You mean absolute. If she was in Germany thciu.l bo no Kaiser." I don't know Just what he meant by that, and anyhow I was anxious to gut started. As I got In and Smlthson started up I asked Mrs. Plggott how she liked the rar. "As long as you don't caro what It looks like," she said, "It may provo satis factory. I'll probably he uble to give you a mora complete opinion after jour les son." Hut sho hasn't. No, not a peep. And we gave her some ride, too; In the dense trainee, district. In the Park and down a Munayuuk hill. Smlthson began teaching me In the trntllo district. It was Satur day afternoon, and there wcro no Jitneys to spenlt of. Wo only lilt six. Six Jit neys and ono tratllc cop, the one nt II road and Arch streets. I was lucky in bitting him, nnd not the one at Jtacc street. The one I bit Is an old friend of Mnlthson's, and outside of being sarcas tic and forgottlng that he'd ever hit the 1 1 ail. bo was fairly decent about it. As for the Jitneys. I got only a fender upiere and two tall lamps, so that didn't come so high. Smlthson drove up and down Hroad street quite a bit, explaining the gear shift, the clutch and break pedals and the accelerator, also the spark and gas levers on the quadrant. It looked pie, and i I TELLS HOW TO HANDLE AUTO I Itched nil over to get at It. Hioad street was fairly clear when Smlthson Kino me his sent, set her In first and told mo to let In tho clutch. 1 did ns ho said, but, due to sumo nervousness of my light foot, 1 Jammed clown tho accclc lo tor. This Is called "giving her Juice." And wo were headed for n larno moving van. The moving van was half a block away, but wo got there In wlmt seemed like ono bound. The only iciison we did not cllinh iluht inside with tho piano and kitchen. w.ue was duo to Kmlthsiin. Ilo hauled bad; on the hand brake and stopped her. Then he swore a little at me out loud. Ill's. Plsgott. who Is president of the I.eonhi. .V. .1 , Anti-Swear League, didn't Interrupt. I took a quick look back nt her mid she was smiling. Wouldn't Ihnt Jar yon? I didn't lenlly enro so much what Smlthson said. 1 was too grateful to him for pieventing us fiom moving Into tho moving van We bad given It a little Jolt, .lust enough of a Jolt to boost the driver out of his se.U and astilde one of his hnrei W didn't wolt around for any stati ment from him. No. the Warm Ilabv wasn't damaged. The W-iiin H.iby. I forgot to mention, wfl-'ln 4i'.7S pounds. I weighed her on tin (caiman's scales quite iccently. She .i. built during the days of hoavy-bnl-!i-ed designs. There's good stuff in In i ami she goes rl'ht through things 'it dnein't get mussed up much. When S'nlt i .on tin mil her over to mo dually, lie ald, "Mc'iusty, she's yours; I guess jou can start her and stop her. I'm going n')im-vlipie to get a Turkish hath and a li: ai er " 1 took Snilthson's word Tor It that I otild run her. I had .stalled her enough to cot practice In cranking her. She was built hefoie the days nf self-stnitera and I don't hcllevo would take kindly to one If I felt strong enough to stnnil the ex pi n-p Which I don't, after paying for all those Jitney fenders. Hut Smlthson was wion about my complete ability to stop her, which I learned when I got to the Jlaiiayunk hill.

North Hills, medalfit v ATHLETICS AT PENN MEDIOCRE IN PAST YEAR Quakers Did Not Show Championship Form in Any Sports AQUATIC TEAM GOOD By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL Nineteen fifteen was not a happy nu for University of Pennsylvania RthUtio teams, at least not If, as generally lup. posed, Intercollegiate happiness Is mtu. ured by tho number of championship-, won. Tho Quakers did not win a slngh. championship outright. Tho nearest they came to It was a triple tlo In swimming with Yale and Columbia. In football the Quakers suffered ran serious reverses than ever In their history ns a big team. Uasebal! and rowing wer similarly unfortunate tho baseball team keeping company with tho football team in tho ratio of defeats. In rowing both the varsity and freshman crews finished last at I'oughkeepslo. Tho track team did a little better, tying with Princeton 1111 1UMI 111 JJlilUfJ. In ono senso thero is nothing extraor dinary In Pennsylvania's barren athletlo year Tho Quakers' cxpcrlcnco morel? duplicates what every big university has to endure nt ono time or another, thourh It Is not usual for nil the major sports teams to hit tho toboggan tho eamo year Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Cornell havo at various times hud years almost as lean as 1915 was for Pennsylvania. Wnit Until Next Year But whllo It is truo that Pennsylvania had a bad year In nearly all sports, ltu looms up full of exceptionally bright pros pects. In football tho Quakers are look Ing for a team of championship propor tions, while In bnscbnll the ncqulsltloa of two rcmarkablo pitchers from Inst year's llrst cnr class strengthens what was tho fatal weakness of tho lied nnd nine's 1915 team. Tho track outlook Is bright enough, thounh tho most optimistic track fan hnrdly looks for a victory over Cor nell. In rowing there is nt least lots of enthusiasm, duo to tho return of many veterans nnd the engagement of Jo Wright ns tho new conch. The football season has already been reviewed to death. Nearly every crltlo has his own opinion ns to what was the team's mnjor trouble. Tbo two on which most men are unanimous was the lack of one supreme bend coach nnd a trainer. The new football committee has nlrcady taken stops to coricct both of these cr rois for MS. Who tho new coach ami trainer will he have not been decided yet, but will be announced shottlv after the new yenr. It In certain, however, that they will be men who will Inspire confi dence. They, In conjunction with a splen did lot of material, are tbo faetois which mnke Pennsylvania men look forwnul to tho coming season with so much confi dence. In college baseball the pitcher is about three-fourths of tho team. The Quakers tried out fully n dozen pitchers and did not find a really dependable man In tho lot. The team was n good lleldlng com bination, nnd It wus lair with tho bat, hut bnvlug no fltst-class pitchers was foreordained to ho badly beaten In Its ihnmplonsblp matches. All tho Impoitarit Serbs of the yeur, with Harvard, Prince ton, Ynle, Cornell, Michigan, were lost, principally for lack of pitchers. Two Cioi '.1 I'itchers Tor PJlfi tho Quakers have the prnmlro of two excellent pltchcr One Is KwlKlcr, who pitched for tho freshmen . the other, Light, Ineligible by reason of the llist year rule. Svvlgler was one of tbo best llrst-year twlrlcrs In collcgo ranks and next spring he ought to nicnxiiic up with the best In the country. Light Is con slderul to be virtually as good. In pre vious years, even when the team had a good pitcher. It fiei'uently fared badly when two or mote important games hud to be ped In a single wtek. for lollega pitchers aro hcldom able, to pitch two championship ganus lu a week If both .Swlgler ami Light make good the Ited and lllue will bo better loi tilled with pitchers than In a long time. The track seafon was exceptionally good, barring tho Intel collegiate chum plonshlps. The Quakcis lost the du.tl mtct lo Cornell, ns expected, hut they heat Dartmouth. In the relay c.irnlvjl tho oue-mUo team, composed of Kauff man, l.ocltwood, Llpplncntt and Meredith, established a new world reconl Two severe accidents were all that prevented Putins', lvnnla taking treenail place to Cor nell In the Intcrcolleglntes. Ilotli oc curred dining tho preliminaries In his picllnilnary licut In the 100-.ird dash Captain Don l.lpplncott pulled a tendon, nnd with that accident went Pennsl vanla's hopes for cle.ht or ten points hy Mm. A few minutes later Hob Fergu u. tripped In his heat in the low Inn dies ai suttalned such a bad fall thai he was unable to qualify for the temlniial I c guson did win tho blub hurdleu. but ha would have won the low hurdles, too, hut for bis accident. Had Ferguson and Up pincott escaped accidents the Quakers would almost certainly havo scored more than 3d points, which would have given them a good second. In two of the minor sports, lowing nnd soccer. Pennsylvania did except on ally well. It was generally admitted that Pennsylvania deserted to be ranked Hist lu swimming, though- technically, it had to be satisfied with a three cornered tlo with Yale and I'olumb.u in nocccr football Pennsylvania lost to Ilav erford by n single point after having won There was plenty of Intel est in tho other minor sports, and whllo winning no other championships the Red and lllue at least maintained the average excellence in each.
