ATHLETICS' VETERANS MUST
KEEP UP SPIRIT TO IMPROVE
WORK OF YOUNGER PLAYERS
Confidence of New Pitchers and Witt Would
Return If Older Men Continue Showing
Fight Giants' Poor Average Is Surprise
fTUIE first long homo stand of tho Athletics, which began on Saturday, la of
J. vital Importance to Manager Mack nnd his plans, mainly because tno team
hna lost bo many gomes through Inexperience and because all the breaks havo
been going to the opposing teams. Tho team has reached n. point where tho
Veterans who had shown a new lease of life and unusual fighting spirit may
become dlshe&rtoncd because game after game has been lost in the closing
innings. This may put tho team Into the old groove.
Tho youngster, whoso Inexperience and costly mlsplays have been largely
responsible for the defeats, will suffer greatly If the regulars fall to continue tho
fight. Naturally, the young hurlers will be lacking In confidence for a few weeks,
while Witt, for whom things have been breaking badly for several days, also will
bo playing under difficulties until the team starts running smoothly again.
Losing games such as tho Mackmen have dropped within the last week Is
enough to shatter the confidence of any team In the land. Manager Mack has a
hard Job on hla hands to keep tho ginger and fighting spirit of his men at tho
proper pitch until tho team starts winning. Tho break Is bound to como if tho
veterans keep right on fighting.
Much Depends on Veteran Players
If tho veterans go along as If nothing had happened, tho confidence of tho
youngsters will return, but If they loso Interest and fall to offer tho proper en
couragement sevornl mighty promising lads will bo thrown back several months
In their work. It will mako Mack's rebuilding task much harder.
Few of; tho fans expected the Mackmen to play as well as they havo to dato
and they aro not disappointed at tho low standing of tho team. Thoy expected
tho Mackmen to provo easy In tho early stages of tho race, as did tho players of
tho Boston, Now York and Washington teams. Tho splendid work has been do
serving of at least a .600 percentage if tho breaks had been evenly divided.
Tho eighth and ninth inning blow-ups wcro not unexpected. It Is only
natural for a green team with Inexperienced pitchers to loso games which would
Ordinarily bo easy victories. Manager Mock said before tho season opened that
tho patience of the fans would bo strained to a breaking point more than once,
and that tho youngsters had a great battlo on their hands to como through with
flying colors after tossing away gamo after game.
Losing games such as hayo been lost recently Is really a good thing for tho
young pitchers. If n youngster has tho right stun In him ho will learn some
thing in ovory gamo ho loses through Inexperience in a pinch, and they must bo
sent to iho mound as often as possible. Mack believes that a pitcher must gain
his experience In tho centre of tho diamond and not on the bench, and he un
doubtedly is right.
Southpaws Hamper Batting of Young Witt
Mack does not think the same policy should bo followod with youngsters
breaking In at other positions. Ho did not want to send young Witt Into tho
gamo regularly, but this was necessitated by tho failure of Sam Crane to show
tho form expected. Witt got off to an excellent start. Ho made an instant hit
with the fans and players of opposing teams, nnd apparently had escaped tho
trouble green youngsters generally experience when things started breaking bad
for him lost week.
Batting against too many left-handed pitchers hurt Witt's batting, and ho
began to worry about his falluro to hit. Mack is certain that Witt is a wonderful
natural hitter and pays no attention to his weak hitting against southpaws, but
tho youngster worries so much that it has affected his fielding a great deal. Tho
last week counterbalances tho excellent start Witt mado and he will have a
hard road to travel for tho next two weeks until he strikes his stride again.
Manager Mock Is seriously considering pulling the youngster from tho gamo
for a few weeks until he gets h'3 bearings. He is not qulto sure whether this
will help or harm Witt and hesitates before making tho movo. There Is no ques-
1 tion about Witt's ability. Ho is a natural born ball player and Is certain to
develop Into a star, but a few moro breaks like Witt had last week may hold him
back a great deal.
Inexperience of Young Pitchers Loses for Macks
Throo of tho four games lost by the Athletics lost week were realV, handed
to Washington and New York. Tho Mackmen led the greater part of hot! games,
only to lose Ir. tho final ninth of each through tho Inexperience of the pitchers
and fielding mlsplays. All of tho games were stubbornly contested, with tho
Mackmen nghtlng continually. Washington scribes admit that the Senators
were exttemely lucky to win two games.
Whllo the failure of the Mackmen to Improve their position during the last
week is rather disappointing, tho fans can get plenty of satisfaction by glancing
over the National League standing. Their satisfaction will not bo duo entirely
to tho fact that the Phils again havo a clear hold upon first placo, but because
they can find a highly touted team with a much lower percentage than tho
Mackmen.
Everybody expected the Athletics to bo down in the race, as Mack Is rebuild
ing, but no one expected to find the reconstructed Giants on tho bottom rung of
the ladder with one game won and eight lost. The addition of Kauff, Itoush,
Bariden and Anderson, of the Feds, and tho report that tho famous Mathewson
would be in his old-time form led fans to believe the Giants would bo in the
pennant fight from start to finish, but to date McGraw's team has not shown as
well as tli n Mackmen.
Giants Arc Completely Outclassed by Opponents
In most of the games the Giants werevbeaten In clean-cut fashion and they
had but little chance for victory, being completely outclassed by their opponents.
On the other hand, seven of tho ten defeats of the Mackmen were games which
could have been won with a baso hit. Six of tho defeats have been by one run,
and poor pitching has been responsible for only two of the losses.
Tho Giants have lost Eeven games In a row, and, Judging by tho way the
pitching staff is performing, they aro likely to lose as many moro before they
break the losing streak. If the New York team finally cracks under tho handicap
offweak pitching it will not come back, as It Is a team composed of high-salaried
veterans. However, the Mackmen are doing only what was expected, and, having
plenty of young- blood, it Is certain to strike its stride sooner or later.
Before tho season opened Manager Mack promised that tho fans would get a
run for their money this season and that his team would at least make tho visit
ing teams battle all the way. He has surely fulfilled the promise, and as the team
Is going to Improve steadily the fans can rest assured that there will be some
Interesting baseball at Shlbe Park this summer.
Braves Prove Easy Game for Phillies
The Braves are generally considered the most dangerous pennant rival of
tho Phillies, despite the splendid work of Brooklyn and Chicago, but if Stalling'
team had to meet tho Phillies every day it probably would finish In last place.
For some strange reason tho Braves are helpless before tho Phils, and Instead of
losing Bome ground or ne.ng held to an even break when they meet their strongest
opponent, tho champions always increaso their lead at the expense of the sensa
tions of 1914.
Alexander the Great continued on his long string of victories over the Braves
Saturday and pitched a masterly gamo. Manager Moran has decided that Alex
ander must be worked hard to keep him in good trim, and in the future he will
not bo allowed a week's rest, such as was tho case when he went to the mound
against Brooklyn. Last season Alexander appeared to thrive on hard work until
tho closing days of the campaign, and it is barely possibie.that his slight let-down
may havo been dua to -other causes than overwork.
Tho injury to Cravath is a great handicap to the Phillies, and unless he re
turns to the game before the Western trip starts the champions are due to have
& tough Journey. Wilbur Good is a fairly good player, but he Is not a Cravath.
The latter is clumsy and slow, but his terrific hitting not only wins games, but
also has psychological effect on the opposing pitchers.
It Isi said that Crayath'a legs are in poorer shape than at the close of the
1915 season. If such is the case Moran had better start schooling his successor,
as the famous fence breaker will not be able to play a long stretch of games.
Prior to the first game of the serjes with the Athletics In Washington, 6crlbes
e the latter city were lamenting the fact that the Mackmen -were not strong
enough to give the Senators irgood battle. They also were figuring out Just
where the Senators would be in the pennant ro.ee after taking four straight
games from the Mackmen, When the first game was postponed the scribes said
that it waa one victory thrown away, but after 8f elng the Mackmen In action Just
once the critics changed their tune,
If President Wilson' good wishes can help any there will be at least three
American League champions. It is a custom of major league teams to visit the
Whit House on, their first trip to Washington each year to meet the President,
This; season he has wished the members of the Washington, New York and
Bostsn, the greatest success possible in the pennant race, j
PENN IMPROVES
STICKWORK AND
LEAVES CELLAR
Quakers' Average Now .153,
Leaving Williams and
Cornell Behind
WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND
LEHIGH ASSUMES LEAD
The Penn ball team has ono consolation.
It Is not In the cellar, as It wns last
week. Since Thursday a weok ago tho
Quaker batters have Improved their per
centage from .111 to .153, and surpassed
Cornell and Williams. Just now the
Quakers are but one point behind Am
herst, which Is In 14th place In the col
lege batting standing. Penn's team po
sition Is 13th on the list with a .Hi aver
age. In eight games Penn has- collected 36
hits out of 230 times at bat, tallied IB
runs nnd stolen eight bases, Aside from
the startling ndvnnce of tho Penn co
horta, Lehigh furnished tho big surprise
by passing tho hard-hitting Columbia
team and assuming tho lead with tho
grand average of .374, due to the consist
ent hitting of Chcnoweth, Lee. Itawle and
Yap. Columbia holds second place with
.336.
With tho first third of tho college sea
son completed It Is apparent that the lead
ing teams of a year ngo tho Army, tho
Navy and Harvard havo fallen away
down in their batting, although Harvard
has a nlno which, through last Thursday,
had suffered only ono defeat.
Chenoweth. of Lehigh, displaced Buo
noguro, of Columbia, for the lead In In
dividual hitting, boasting of a percentage
of .667. Buonoguro follows with .608,
and Robertson, of Ilrown, has .600. Beck,
of Columbia, and Winters, of Lafayette,
are in tho .500 section, while an even
dozen are found In tho .400 division. Nine
teen have mado their way Into tho .300
class, but not a. I'enn man is located in
any of these divisions.
Last week Penn had ono man In tho
hitting column ; this week three have
dono enough work to claim recognition,
Berry and Sullivan are tied at .250, and
Smith Is credited with .222. Dick Harte.
Harvard catcher, moved Into tho .300 di
vision and now has a mark of .312.

Ballade of the Always There
Where within iho epolHqM'a fflow
Comets come and comets no!
Bio fttphts flash and fade away!
In the centra of the show
Everu canine has his dans
That ih Mundane ever may
Draw Its daily thrill and throb,
Only one thing slicks for rfye
Teddy's always on the job.
In the current's ebb and Jlo,
One by ono they make their play;
Then the ciirfnht falls onrf Jo
There Is nothing left to say;
Soon to vanish from the fray
Wagner, Malty, Baker, Cobb',
Only one holds Fate at bay
Teddy's always on the job.
In the giddy game we know
Jeff and Johnson tohere aro theyl
Teddy's always on the job.
rritiaii ihn stars of Yesterday:
Kings at dawn and then, belay
Uiibs amid the Common Mob;
One alone shall never stray
Teddy's always on tlie job.
"I know how the Giants feel about leav
ing tho cellar," writes Plckvvlck. Jr. I
didn't like my apartment either, but I
have decided to stay for another year.
John McfJraw has bumped Into one of
the oldest laws of the game that when
you're up things come your way In a
rush; and when you're down tho same
things point In nnother direction. Just as
there is "nothing that succeeds llko suc
ross," so la thero nothing that falls llko
failure Not that tho Giants ore yet to
bo written ns 1D16 failures. There Is still
good material working under one of the
gamo's greatest leaders, But 1910 Is a
poor year for a bad start with so many
Btrong clubs to overhaul and few weak
spots to use for n stampede.
The Cub Return
Sir Joseph Tinker Is to bo congratulated
upon tho way ho has at last revived his
once gasping Cubs and wheeled them
around In tho right direction.
For n few weeks there were strong signs
of an utter Cub collapse, but In placo of
growing discouraged Tinker only battled
on, and now, with McConnell.Vnughn, Hen
drlx, Seaton and Lavender In shape, ho
has a staff nt last that will moro than
hold Its own. And no ball club Is going
to finish very fnr away from tho top that
has five first-class pitchers taking a pot
shot at opposing forces day by day.
Tinker at tho start had tho toughest Job
In the circuit, but tho great white light
of hopo Is beginning to break for him at
last.
Tho return of Fred Hcrrcshoff to tour
nament play Is one of tho cheering signs
of tho young season. There aro a few
bettor golfers than Herreshoff, but no bet
ter sportsmen. Which is also something.
The Advance
Here comes the lVamfcrcr over the plain,
The vagabond Spring;
With a song in the sunlight a smile
through the rain,
Where the dim echoes ring;
Where the red of the roso on the green of
his coat;
With a necklace of violets crotonlnfl his
f7iroaf,
And the fields leap to light at the first
thrilling note
Which his soft breezes bring.
Music and the Game
D. K. H. So far as wo know, there are
no star musicians playing ball The two
pastimes don't mix. Barking at the, Um
pire hurts the throat and toying with the
fast grounder doesn't help tho fingers.
The best, all-around musician wo ever
game was Harry nv. iv,-
old Cleveland outfielder. Harry was
equally gentlo and well broken on lh ,
cornet, the piano and the fife. He was
good enough to play a winter circuit be.
tween seasons, being as fast on his ftet
with the cornet as ho was with the splkai
shoes.
The Shock
The duffer Stood upon the tee,
I saw his bright eyes shine;
And then he turned and said to m i
"Gee whUbut I feel fine."
"I never slept so teail before;
I'm reaay for my port";
Ir'fierent wo gave a louder snore '
And woke up with a start
With Dick KUdolph and George Tyler
back In 1014 form, aided and abetted br
considerable talent on the side, the pos
sibility Is developing right along that
Owner Haughton will not be able to de.
vote much time to footbatl until after the
world's scries Is over.
One Reason
Sir Why Is It that Eddie Plank. t.h
Is four years older than Christy Mathevt.v
son, is still pitching good hall, with Matty
about through? JUST A BUG.
We don't know unless It 1b that In th
same period of servitude Matty, has
pitched something like 160 moro games
than Plank, having been called upon
oftener for relief duty. Matty, most of
the time, was the Giants' only star pitcher,
where Plank was fairly' well surrounded
most of tho way, first by Bender ana
Waddcll and then by Bender and Coombs.
Plank and Waddell together were ths
strongest set of left-handers that any ba.I
club ever owned. The two best right
handers on ono club were probably
Mathewson nnd McGlnnlty. Tho greatest
pitching staff that ever worked on ons
club was tho Pittsburgh delegation of
J901 Chesbro, Leevcr, Phllllpe, Tannehlll
and Waddell.
Here Is something for somo of these
young ballplayers who work about 90 or
100 games a season to think about Hans
Wagner, 41 years old last season, played
In 1G6 games. As tho pastime develops
tho bric-a-brac Beems to grow mors
fragile each year.

THIS figure represents the number of Eight-Cylinder
Cadillacs manufactured and delivered up to and includ
ing April 8, 1916.
It is larger than the delivery of all other high-grade cars
combined during the same period.
It is larger than the total production of all other cars with
V-type engines of all grades. ,
It represents a sales value exceeding
$55,000,000
Do you grasp the significance?
It means that in the search for quality, and in the search
for the things which make for the real comforts, enjoyments
and luxuries of motoring, the world has bestowed by far the
greatest measure of its approval upon the Cadillac.
