CONNIE MACK IS DEVELOPING TEAM THIS SEASON IN PREPARATION FOR 1917 CAMPAIGN
r K'

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. That celebration Is over and
