PHILLIES AND ATHLETICS COMPLETE AN EXCELLENT TRAINING CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA
- TfwJJwpWJMmu JlgWIJWIMWJaHwiW'WWfWWffW

LOCAL MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS
COME UP TO EXPECTATION IN
TRAINING WORK IN THE SOUTH
Athletics Had to Do Little to Measure Up to
Popular Idea of Their Strength, But
Phillies' Case Was Just Reverse.
TIIE work of tho two Philadelphia major lentiuo basobatl clubi In their uprlns
tralnlngr'camps this year has corns up to expectations. Nover beforo hao tlio
Phillies and Athletics enjoyed suoh consistently good weather as they struelt In
Bt. Petersburg and Jacksonville. This has greatly aided Tat Moran In RCttlnu his
Club on edge, and Connie Mack In shins up tho candidate that ho expects to
compose tho cogs of his now machine, which ho declares will eomo day bo ni
great as thosa of 1902, 1005, 1010, 1911, 1013 and 1914.
Mack's athlotos have como up to tho expectation of tho fans largoly be
cause they did not oxpoct anything, but tho Phillies lmo reached tho approicd
standard because thoy have clearly demonstrated that they aro stronger In pitching
than they wero last season; their team play Is improved and tho Individual work
of tho players is as good at least as It was In 191G.
Phillies Will Open AmonR Favorites
Blnco tho woeful falling down of tho Chicago Cubs, who tcro rated on paper
In winter as prospective pennant-wlnnors, tho Phillies' stock lint constantly ad
vanced. Tho view gonorally taken Is that If tho Cubs with tho best playets
of tho Chicago National and Federals of 101G cannot put a team In tho field that
Is as good as the Phillies, tho chances aro that tho other Feds, no matter how
good ihoy may be, will not add onough strength to tho various clubs to ovorcomo
the Improvement In Pat Moron's team.
While no one outsldo of Philadelphia 1 actually picking tho Phils to repeat,
few havo yet placed them out of tho running. A number of out-of town writers
havo stated emphatically that tho Phillies havo Just as good a chanco to win us
any other club, which means they aro hold In very high esteem. This tlmo last
year Moron's club was unanimously awarded tho cellar position, but thoy won
tho ponnant. This year, with a hotter team on tho field, Moran'fl ability ni man
ager a certain quantity and tho added contldonco of tho players thetnsolves, no
one can fall to sco that only a streak of tho worst luck can put the team out of
the running until lato In tho year, If then.
Mnckmcn Rated ns Tall-cndcrs Again
Although Connlo Mack has stated that ho Is going to fool some of tho wiso
ones who donate him last placo for tho approaching season, evon tho most optlm
istlo Athletic rooters cannot seo anything bettor than seventh placo for tho now
and untried machine.
It will be nocessary for Pick at third base, Witt at short and a number of
pitchers, including Meohan and Myers, to dovolop moro fapldly than Is usual for
youngsters for tho Athlotlcs to put a team In tho Hold which will approach In
strength either Washington or Cleveland, tho two clubs admlttodly tho worst In
tho American League, excluding tho Athlotlcs.
With Fielder Jones leading the Browns, Rowland presenting a remarkable
array of Individual talent In Chicago, Donovan putting out an apparently woll
roundod bunch of players, Jennings In the nold with a toam as good as last season
and Bill Carrlgan standing pat with his ponnant-wlnners, It Is hard to seo whoro
the Athletics can break Into a position anywhere near tho llrst division with a
bunch of untried and lnexporlcnced men.
Ed Konotchy Has Strengthened the Braves
Ed Konotchy played tho first sack for the Braves In tho training ramp ns It
hasn't boon played In years. Ho has convinced tho skeptics that not on!ythus ho
not gono back, but that he has como forward, both as a fielder and hitter. Allen
and Knetzer, pltcherB for tho 1915 Pittsburgh Feds, will bo among Stnlllngs' hurl
ing mainstays this summer.
Tho ratio of "flivvers" among tho "bushors" this year, however, has been on a
par with that of other years. Only about ono out of every ton youngsters that
trekked the Southern trail will como back with a major leaguo Job.
Tho major leaguo clubs expended something Hko $250,000 during 1915 for
promising looking rookies. But most of the monoy hni been wasted. Tho "second
Ty Cobbs," tho "now Christy Mathowsons" and tho "hotter than Eddlo Collinses"
havo gono back whenco they camo. They wero wonders in tho minors, but when
subjected to tho big league test they foiled.
Conspicuous among tho failures Is Dan Tipple. Pitching for Indianapolis last
season, ho sot tho American Association afire with his brilliant work. His hurling
feats were heralded far and wide. An army of scouts lookod him over and pro
nounced him a star of tho first water. And then tho clubs began bidding for him.
Higher and higher shot tho bid prlco. "Nino thousand," yollod tho owners of tho
New York Yankees. Tho other bidders became silent and Tlpplo was turned over
to the Ituppert-Huston combination. Great things were expected of Tlpplo. But
he failed. i
Basketball Moguls Overlook tho Cage
The meotlng of the Intercollegiate Basketball League In Now York city
did not bring out one of tho most nocessary points regarding tho futuro success
g the indoor gamo. Any onewho has witnessed tho games played by tho colleges
and thoso played by tho Eastorn and other leagues In this vicinity can plalnjy
see how much college play would be Improved by having tho games staged in a
cage.
On a court such as the one at Wolghtman Hall tho game Is slowed up to a
disgusting 'extent at times by tho ball constantly going out of bounds. Further
more, in scrimmages It Is difficult for tho officials to tell which side Is responsible
for the ball having gone out, and this Is likely at tlme3 to work an Injustice to a
team which may bo righting hard to come from behind.
Cage play In basketball Is so far superior to tho game as played on an open
court that thore Is no comparison, but the officers of tho I. B. B. L. apparently
cannot be made to see this.
However, the association took one excellent step toward Increasing the popu
larity of basketball In colleges even if It did overlook tho matter of playing In
cages. It advanced tho proposition of forming an Intorcollegtato freshman
leaguo. This Is an excellent Idea, and the originator deserves a great deal of
credit for putting It before the governing body. A freshman league will put the
varsity game on a higher standard, because the first-year men will take far more
Interest In their personal development as players If they have a title for which
they are playing than by simply playing a haphazard schedule.
Mike Sweeney Has the Correct Idea
Mike Sweeney, the advisory coach at Yale, has looked over the field of
athletics at New Haven and has come to the conclusion that co-operation Is
essential to future success In all branches of sports. That the Yalo students,
alumni and coaches have all been pulling in different directions for the past few
years is an acknowledged fact. This Sweeney realizes. Recently he made the
appended remarks, which show his sane
sent at Yaler
"What we must do Is to put our
iit Is possible. If wo wish to quickly win
tn the eyes of the college athletic world
athletics alone, nor to the management
of university life.
"Yale has had some severe shocks within the last six or eight years, and It Is
only by the most Intelligent united effort that she can restore herself.
"Permit me to say that the two main weaknesses which I see In Yale athletics
are the Jack of sound jnature organization and tho attitude of the student body.
Unless these weaknesses are considerably Improved Yale's troubles will continue
Indefinitely,
"At present Yale Is about the only university in the East encouraging ath
letics that does not fully appreciate the direct value to athletics of the intelligent
co-operation of the student body, From the standpoint of athletics, I know that a
team loses at least 20 per cent, through the loss of this co-operation."
Golf In Philadelphia will receive Its great Impetus this season with the
opening of the municipal links in the vicinity of Cobb's Creek, West Philadelphia.
Already there have been hundreds of applications to the Park Commission for
lockers. Indications are that when the course is officially opened it will be con
at.antiy occupied from early spring until bad wintry weather prevents further
Coach Joe Wright, of tho Penn crews, seems to have the rowing situation
well In hand. He is being praised far and wide by the Red and Blue candidates
for positions in the shells, by the lay student body and the alumni. Neverthe
less, his work can only be Judged correctly in one way the result of the
