EVENING LBPOEtt-PHlAADBLPHIA,, WEDyrlSSDAY, 'AfrRlIi 10, 1016. I, - --- iii I' ' 14 XL. IteMUuWe CONNIE MACK IS DEVELOPING TEAM THIS SEASON IN PREPARATION FOR 1917 CAMPAIGN r K' t . ATHLETICS OPEN SEASON " AT HOME WITH BOSTON SOX AT SHIBE PARK TOMORROW itali-fcnd Mackmen to Give Philadelphians First American League Exhibition Here Opposed to Chammons of the World y,vi j: , MANAGER. AtACK of the Athletics wilt permit the local fans to got tho first ItUmpao of his. tall-end aggregation tomorrow, when the Uoaton Red Box. hanplohfl of the "world, will aid In tho odlclal opening of tho American League aeAaon in this city. Manager Mack recently declared that ho considers this tho most interesting and lniportant year of his long career ns a manager. It la during tho present campaign that Mack Intends to try out all his young tens and ho has predicted that ho will havo found the combination which he Iwlloves will eventually be moulded Into tho greatest of all Mack teams boforo th month of August is over. Rival managers and fans in other cities declnro that Mack Is tackling a bigger Job than ho can handle, nnd that he will fall, but JPhllndolphlans who saw tho master manager build three other machines, each greater than tho previous one, are confident ho will turn the trick, rhero is not ono chanco in a thousand of the Athletics winning tho pennant this season, but Micro is an excellent chanco to finish In tho first division accord in to Mack, providing tho youngsters who aro due to report in Juno need as little masoning, as Mack bollovos. Tho first division or a position at tho head of the second division is tho aim of Mack, but ho will not change his dovoloplng pinna Just to accomplish this purpose. Great Prorrreas Has Been Made This Sprint; Mack says that tho present Benson will bo spent developing for 1917, but that the fans will ceo ft real gamo every day. Ho will not tolcrato exhibitions such as ee-mo of thoso witnessed at Shlbo Park last season. Four straight games havo been lost by tho Mackmon, but all but ono havo been close contests which would havo been turned Into victories with the breaks going our way. Irt tho gamos played to dato Mack has uncovored two promising young pitch" m In Nabora and Myers, nn excellent young -catcher In Meyer nnd a sensational lnfleldor In Lawton Witt, tho Qoddard Seminary youngster. Witt made a won derful impression on tho Boston players and fans in his debut Saturday and yes terday ho mado an Instant hit In Now York. Tho fans of tho latter city arc considered tho most critical In tho country, and tho fact that Witt made suqh an excellent impression In New York should bo hough to arouso tho curiosity of local fans. Witt's fielding has been sonsatlonal nd ho has shown nono of the faults Mack feared would crop out In his work In this' department. At bat, which Is really Witt's strong point, ho has led tho team, making thrco hits out of soven tlmos at br.t in two games. Whllo speaking of Witt It might bo well to mention that tho youngster Is still enrolled as a student at Ooddard Seminary. Ho will roturn to Qoddnrd In tho fall or'hls senior year and then Intends to enter tho University of Vermont, taking a special course which will not lntcrfero with major league baseball. Alexander Looked Like tho Alex of 1915 r Alexander the Great pitched another splondld gamo yostorday. Ho appeared to havo a great dcat more "stuff" than ho showed on opening day and tho fans can rest 'assured that thoro is nothing wrong with tho NebraBkan'o arm. Ho grew stronger as the gamo progressed and looked every bit as good as ho did at this timo last season. Tho Braves had only two real chances to score on Alexander and poor head work, coupled with tho Nobraskan's clever twirling, killed thoso briof rallies. After the fifth Inning tho Braves realized that they had no chanco for victory unless they got lucky breaks and Rudolph wont to ploces.Vrho victory enabled the Phillies to go Into first place. Hero's hoping thoy aro novor dislodged. Ty Cobb at Last Pulls a Real "Bone" It is possible for Tyrns Cobb to pull n bone. A lot of fans did not believo It was, but Ty pulled ono at Clovoland on Sunday and it lost tho gamo. Tho Held was roped off with a ground rule In forco limiting drives Into tho crowd to two liases. Tho scoro was tied going into tho last half of the ninth; two men wero , out, with O'Neil on flrst and Granoy at tho bat. Granoy hit a lino drlvo between Cobb and Veach. The former was playing deep and ut across tho field to head the ball off. Just as the ball was about to roll under tho ropes, Cobb mado a dlvo for It nnd picked it up. .Ho returned It to the infield, but O'Neil had scored tho winding run, whllo Granoy was perched on third. If Cobb had pormltted tho ball toroll Into tho crowd, tho hit would have been-only a double and O'Neil would havo been compolled to stop at third. It Is .not often the Georgia Peach pulls a "bono" and ho was very much peeved athlm elf, according to Cleveland scribes. , , Another Home-run King Discovered Pacifla Coast fans hall Louts Gulsto, yoUngstor from St, Mary's College, as tho greatest long distance hitter In tho land. Gulsto graduated from St. Mary's last Juno and Joined Portland this spring. In Portland's first 12 games, Gulsto mado seven home runs, two of tho drives being made In the afternoon gamo last 'Sunday, and both cleared a fence In San Francisco which not oven Ping Bodlo has reached. In tho Pacifla Coast Leaguo morning and afternoon games are played every Sunday, and. In the morning game Gulsto also had a homer, making It three In pae day. Gulsto Is a first baseman and Is following a long lino of stars who Jumped from St. Mary's to major league famo. The list includes Harry Hooper, Jial- Chase, Horry Krause, Eddie Burns, Fred Snodgrass, "Dutch" Leonard, Tillie Shaefer, Sick Egan, Bill Nealon and Helnlo Heltmuller and numerous others. Durborow Training for Virginia Capes Swim Charles Durborow, Philadelphia's famous long-distance BWlmmer, has started" training for several long distance swims he will attempt this summer, the most important of which will bo his effort to cross the Virginia Capes on June 24. In hi first practice swim for speed and wind, Durborow crossed tho Defaware from Eblmesburg Fa., to Rlvertan, N. J., In 31 minutes. He plans to mako this trip dally for two weeks and then will increase tho distance gradually until he makes his attempt to cross tho Virginia Capes. Weather conditions will not handicap Durborow In his training, as the bank clerk Jim not missed a day In the water since January 1 and, barring Illness, will not nlas a day, during the year. ' r Hal Chase -won another gome for the Reds yesterday. With the score a tie Mrfciobody out in tho tenth Inning, Chose hit to the centre field fence for a home ruafrsjf this wonderful player can control his temper he may completely upset the National .League dope. Cobb has not struck his gait yet and Speaker, Jackson and Collins aro getting toff to a big lead on Ty. Bob Veach Is hitting at such a terrlflo clip that Ty's slump has not hurt the Tigers much to date. The Georgian Is due to start any 4sfV and when he does ho will make up for lost tlme.- "Washington's vlotory over, the Red Sox In Boston yesterday was the flrst vic tory for the Senators over Carrigan's team at Fenway Park since 1914. Eleven games were, .played between the two teams at Fenway Park last season, with b Red Sox on the winning end In all. Cravath has found his batting eye at last. The Phllly slugger made his first clean hit of, the season In the second Inning- and added another In the eighth. Jloth were smoking line drives. Prior to yesterday, Cravath's slugging was lim ited! to, ono Jnfleld scratch. Like Tyrus, Cravath probably will proceed to mako Mp for' Jost time. A fan wants to know why tho New York Nationals are still called Giants. He says that there was some reason for calling the famous old team, with Van Kattren, Tlernan. Ruslo, etc., In the line-up, but wants, to know how Kauff, Burns, j ''" .uvjjo, yuia nuu imj ur mreo uuierp can pe classed as Giants. When one stops to think about it, the majority of names bestowed on ball teams mean nothing:; but they stick. President Dunn, one of the new owners of tho Cleveland Indians, says that fee baa taken steps to prevent congestion about the gates in the future, If the Indians do. npt play better ball than they have for two seasons, Mr. Dunn will not And it necessary to make arrangements to take care of the overflow, Tho Amml came out to see Trls Speaker make his debut.
