PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS HAVE APPARENTLY CORNERED COLLEGE BASEBALL MARK
&
m.
NEW YORK YANKEES HAVE
TROUBLE IN SIGNING ANY
GOOD COLLEGE PLAYERS
Connie Mack Has Covered the Market, Accord
ing to "Cap" Huston, of the High-
landers Other Comment);
SOMEB'ODY IS ALWAYS TAKING THE JOY OUT OF LIFE
"TAP" HUSTON, half owner of tho New York American League Club, remarked
J yesterday afternoon that his scouts ore having a hard time signing up the
collegians who mako a good Impression upon them, bocauso almost every collegian
approached tells them thosamo story that thoy are' going to Join the .Athletics.
"Cap" says that If alt tho colloglans who have told his scouts that thoy aro going
to Join tho Athletics should report to Manager Mack on the Bamo day, there will
bo a record-breaking crowd at Shlbe Park, and Connlo will need all the uniforms
in the city to outfit tho recruits.
lAst week Huston sent Joe Kelley out to look over Fahey, tho Cathollo
University pitcher. Kolley had left tho hotel In Washington less than a half hour
"When a friend of Huston's whispered In his ear: "Thero'a a swell pitcher down at
Cathollo University, but I am afraid Mack has him Blgnod. Even It he has not
signed him ho can get him if ho wantk him, but it might bo worth jour while
to snd a man over to seo htm work."
Kcllcy Pleased nt Showing of Fahey
"7-It,I,Bnr was very much pleased with Fahey's showing, but before ho even had
J. a chance to offer tho youngster a contract, found out that It v.as useless.
In another instance Kelley approached a collegian and asked htm If ho did not
want to tako a fling at major league ball. Tho collegian said that ho did and
probably would Join tho Athletics. Tho Tankeo scout asked him If ho had signed
with Mack. Tho youngstor finally admitted that ho had not and Koltoy said: "I'll
glvo you a contract for doublo tho amount Mack has offered you If you sign with
1 me." ,
Joo was amazed when tho youngster admitted that ho had not received an
offer from Mack. Ho thought he had tho collegian clinched then, but was amazed
When tho lad told him that a friend was going to wrlto to Mack asking (.onnie
to glvo him a trial, and that ho would not sign nnywhoro until ho found out it
Connie wanted him.
"How aro you going to get them when tho llttlo fools Just wait around waiting
to got into Bhibo Park? Thoy would rather go to Mack for a trial than accept
real money from another team. I never saw anything llko it. There is ono
i youngster up in Maino (meaning Lowry) who had received contracts from six
teams that J know of, but ho turned them all down, waiting for Mack to pass
'' Judgment. That was lost season. Ho Is now tied up with Mack. Ho Is very
green, but if ho doesn't dovelop Into a wonder I miss my guess."
Other Managers Having Their Troubles
SEVERAL other managers aro experiencing the same dlfllculty In signing col
legians, which makes it apparent that Manager Mack has quit a crowd com
) ing In Juno and July. Tho wonderful patience of tho wizard managorj tho fact
v that he always has given collegians a fair chanco to show what thoy could do
and his work in developing youngsters is responsible for Oils strango condition.
' An excellent ojcrrmplo of tho great scouting system used by Mack and tho
confidence youngsters have in his senso of fairness Is shown In tho signing of
1 Bemls, an 18-year-old right-handed pitcher who lives within a few blocks of Man-
ager Morrtn, of the Phillies, at Fitchburg, Mass. Moran knows Bemls well, but
' never knew ho could play ball enough to bo worth a major league trial, but Mack
has decided otherwise.
If Bemls develops into a great pitcher tho laugh will bo on Moran, but even
If ho should never amount to anything, ho was worth a trial, according to Mack's
belief. Bemls stands 6 feet 3 Inches in height and weighs about 195 pounds, being
a dead ringer for Jess Tesreau, of the Giants, In build and general apperance.
'Manager Mack and Ira Thomas have been working with tho youngster overy
morning tho Mackmen hav'o been in this city slnco tho season oponcd, and Ira
la certain ho will develop into a star in a few years. After Bomls receives a
month's schooling from Mack and Thomas, ho probably will bo sent to a minor
leaguo club, under option, as Mack wants to look him over later.
If any ono can imagino anything odder than Mack signing a neighbor of
Pat Moran, who did not even know tho youngster could play ball, it is beyond
us. Just as tho scouts say, ono cannot go anywhere to look at a ball player
without learning that ono of Connlo Mack's men has been there.
Larry Pulls One of His Old Time Tricks
IT HAD been a long tlmo slnco Larry. Lajole' broko up a game with a home-run
drlvo until he smashed young Shocker's spltball into tho loft field bleachers, with
1 Rube Oldring on first, in tho eighth inning and won tho final gamo of tho New
Tork series for tho Mackmen. "Winning games with home-run drives was onco a
favorite pastime of the famous Mackman, but in recent years Larry has been
forced to cut down his swing, n3 his cyo is not quito so keen nor his legs and
arms so strong as they wcro a few years back.
Larry could not havo made his drive at a more opportuno moment. Not alone
because it won a game, but also because of tho kind of a game ho won. Yes
terday's victory meant a great deal to tho Mackmen. It will glvo them a great
' deal of confidence and also presages a return to batting form. If the game had
been lost, after numerous opportunities to scoro runs in tho early innings had
been thrown away, tho confidence of tho team would havo been shattered and
It may have been quite a time beforo tho Mackmen struck their strtdo again.
Gamo after game has been lost, despite brilliant pitching by the staff which
was considered the Joko of the major leagues prior to tho start of the season,
because the team lacked the batting- punch in a pinch. Yesterday opportunities

EAGERLY WATCH RESULT
CLEVELAND MAY BE A
"JOKE" CLUB, BUT THE' JOKE
IS NOT ON THOSE INDIANS
Lee.Fohl's Team Is Playing Good Baseball and
Looks to Be Well-balanced for
the Season
By GKANTLAN'I) KICK
j galore presented themselves, but the Mackmen failed to tako advantago of them
until late In the game, when the break the men have been waiting for came
their way.
IT WAS rather odd that tlo youngest member of tho team, Lawton Witt, should
strike his natural stride In time to share the honors with the veteran of tho
game. Since Witt was given a regular position we have been touting him as a
natural long-distance hitter, but until yesterday ho foiled to take a good clean cut
at the ball such as he did' at the training camp.
Witt's confidence was Bhaken in the first two series with the Bed Sox and
Yankees in Boston and New York, and he has not been swinging naturally.
Prior to the seventh inning of yesterday's game Witt had been poking at the
ball and taking a short swing. Almost every ball he had hit was to the left side
of the diamond, whereas he is a natural right field hitter.
Witt Came Through When His Nerve Was Tested
YESTEIIDAY Witt's nerve was put to a test when it was up to him to drive
Charley Pick in with the tying run or lose many of the admirers he had gained
, by his snappy, aggressive play. He went to the plate and took a long, healthy
" cut at one of Ray Heating's spltballs and drove it over Malsel's head for a triple
Which tied the score.
That Witt has unusual driving power was evident to the crowd, as ho did not
seem to hit the ball hard. Malsel stood still for a Becond and then suddenly real-
Jlzed that the ball was hit a tremendous blow. He started chasing It. but it was
too late. Even If Malsel had started when the ball was hit he could hardly have
'reached it, Now that Witt ha3 struck his stride the fans can look for some long
hits from the youngster occasionally, as his confidence will return rapidly.
While the entire Mack team deserves credit for a game, uphill fight, Joe
Bush and Charley Pick also stood out prominently. Had it not been for Bush's
brilliant and nervy pinch pitching the Mackmen would have been beaten. Joe
(relieved Nabors with runners on third and first and nobody out in the eighth
'Inning, but the Yankees could not score. Bush fanned Nunamaker and Caldwell,
two hard hitters, and then Intercepted a throw from Schang and nailed Pipp off
third on an attempted double steal.
Bush Has 3 of the 20 Victories ne Desires
IT WAS Bush's third victory of the season and his second of the series, as he
gets credit for yesterday's victory. Joe has an excellent start for the twenty
victories he has set his mind upor), and If he can retain the form he has shown
to date ha will reach the figure, regardless of where the Mackmen finish.
Pick's part in the vietory -was an Important one. He scored tho tying run
after doubling to right, and ho made a brilliant stop of a line drive from Gedeon's
bat in the ninth Inning, retiring the Yankee second "baseman for the final out.
Tcharley also bad a single and was robbed of a triple when Malsel made a thrilling
running- catch of a line drive in deep left centre. .
Manager Mack switched bis line-up and batting order and the team lookel
nroclj better. Jimmy Walsh returned to the game, although a right-handed
pitcher was on, the mound for New York, and was batted In the second position,
with, Pick batting seventh. Walsh got two hits, drew a pass and stole a base.
If Jimmy can get a few breaks he is likely to surprise the fans with a brilliant
all-around exhibition.
By TED MEREDITH
The most Interesting dual meet to bo
held this Saturday will prove to bo the
Cornell-Harard track and field meet nt
Ithaca. It Is Interesting, duo to the fact
that it will bring out all of Moaklcy's ma
terial and show tho track world Just
what the Cornell coarh has been doing
during the winter ami vlio,t his resulta
lme been Moakley always springs a sur
prise each year which usually nnrazci
the public and brings him good results
when the intcrcolleglates como around.
Last year It was his development of
t'i e hurdlers, who placed In the Inter
c( .glatcs and the running of Kpledcn
In the half mile. Snleden started as a
two-mllor In 1913. then won the mllo In
1914 and last year was put In tho half
where ho finished second. No one can
tell whero Moakley will uso his men until
the dual meets make him show his hand.
Reports from Ithaca aro that they fear
Jlurvard's team, but I don't seo why they
should. Cornell, It Is true, has fow stars,
but their team as a whole Is the best In
tho country. They hae good, reliable men
in every event and will beat Ilnrwrd
easily.
Fast Sprinters 1
Harvard will score heavily In the sprints
with Tcschncr and Foley, but Cornell has
two good men In Bnrtch and Van Winkle.
Kelly, another Cornell sprinter, has cov
ered tho 100 yards In very fast time; In
fact, Kelly was credited with .10 flat be
fore entering college, but little Is known
of his work this year.
The middle distances should also provo
to be Harvard's eents; that Is, the quar
ter and half. Wilcox, Blddlo and Penny
packer aro all good quarter-mllers. Shel
ton and Crlno will run In this event for
Cornell. Shelton might beat tho latter
two Harvard men, but he cannot hope to
beat Wilcox.
Captain Bill Bingham looks to bo better
than Wlndnagle In the half, but he Is the
only good half-mller the Crimson has.
The mllo nnd 2-mlle will be all Cornell
men. Moakley has his usual bunch of
good distance runners In Totter, Hoff
mlre, Irish and several others.
Field Events
The field events will fall mostly to Cor
nell. Richards In the high and broad Jump
and shot. Foss and Cheyney in the pole
vault, McCormlck In tho hammer, and
Culbertson In the broad Jump gives them
a good lead over Harvard. Harvard will
also nave soma good men on tho Held, but
not enough to hopo to win In that de
partment. Johnstone, who was third In
the high Jump at the relays, and Hay
dock and Babbit in the pole vault seem to
bo their only hopo.
The hurdles will be taken care of In
good shape by Cornell with Starr, Watt
and Culbertson entered. Starr Is the best
of these and will win this event.
C0RLEV CATHOLIC CLUB
PLAYS AIR-TIGHT BALL
Downtown Team Routs Morris F, C.
Nine
Downtown baseball fans are enthusias
tic over the showing made by their favor
ite nine, Corley Catholic Club, in Its last
Btart, in which the South Philadelphia
champs, cleaned up Morris F. C, 7 to 0.
McCormlck was air-tight, allowing the
field club batsmen but two safeties.
While Manager "Bill" Jackson plans to
put the major part of the mound burden
on "Mac," he has two star slabmen In
Fisher and Benckert to call on. The lat
ter twlrler romped home with 17 wins out
of 18 Btarta last season, and "Fish" is
touted in amateur circles as "class."
All of Corley's local games will be
played on its home grounds, at Broad and
Oregon avenue, but Manager Jackson Is
planning to tour Pennsylvania, Delaware
and New Jersey In Sunday games. Corley
C. C. has a well-appointed clubhouse at
11th and Wolf streets.
77io Differ tlnys arc on us now
Across the dreary fold:
The laurel no tnoio wreathes our brow
Ai in the days 0 old;
The checrlnp that once came our teay
Is silent now, anil still,
llVirrc black defeat ho'.ds us at bay
And life has lost Us thrill;
Hut as the drifting shadow nears
Across our patmay strung.
We hold ono dream of vanished years
HVien Matty's ru teas' young.
Deep in the Barren Lands at last
We face the hopcleis fight,
UVicro mocking echoes of the past
lleturn beyond the night;
And ghosts of glory and icnoion
Come, back from Long Ago
To haunt us as tee gallop down
The way that leads to woe;
But lohen along the vanquished beat.
The mournful dirge is sung.
We hold one dream beyond defeat
When Hatty's arm was young.
We know the law that rules the game
Where all must one day yield;
Wc know the fickleness of fame
Along the open field;
We know the bitterness 'that comes
To those who've held command,
When from ajar the muffled drums
lioll back across the land;
But as we reel and fall today)
The broken clans amona.
One dream they cannot take away
IVVicu Matty's arm was young.
The season Is, of course, a trifle soon
and demure. But so far wo havo heard
little or no loud cheering from those who
picked Cleveland to glvo tho Mackmen a
terrible battlo for last place.
It may be that the Indians aro a "Joke
club." But who is tho Joke on4 It's a
cinch that It isn't on the Indians.
Cleveland Uprising
It only goes to show what tho addition
i ' ono Btar can do at times for one club.
For In Cleveland's case It was not only
tho physical aid that Trls Speaker fur
nished, but the moral support. The day
that Speaker landed his mates began to
feel that a new order wns at hand that
tho turn had at last arrhedj that tho now
owners -meant business. So, In place of
subsiding gently and doing a high dive nt
tho first blow, tho Indians turned and be
gan to fight. So far thoy are tho season's
sensations. What they may do later on
belongs to the future.
Sufficient unto tho day Is the dope
thereof. The point Is that Cleveland Is
back upon the baseball map. where she
belongs In memory of Pat Tebeau, Ithody
Wallace, Cupid Chlltla, Cy Young, Jimmy
McAleer. Nop Lajole, Bill Bradley, Addle
Joss and other stars from tho past that
sha has known and nourished and sent to
fame.
The Yale Advance
Judging from the keenness with which
Yale has gone In for spring football prac
tice, next fall Is going to bring about a
decided change In KU affairs. The most
encouraging feature in Yale football af
fairs Is that Tad Jones, Mike Sweeney
and Captain Black all havo the personal
magnetism that makes for the best type
of leadership, and this means a new en
thusiasm that New Haven hasn't seen for
a long time.
Yale was at first surfeited and stale
with victory up to 1908. Then she went
stale with defeat. The hour is about ripe
for the renaissance.
College baseball Is overshadowed by the
professional game. Yet we'd llko to
have a small wager that a three-game
series between Columbia and Harvard,
played alternately In New York and B03.
ton at leaguo parks, would draw over
40,000 people.
Tip to Mr. Fulton
Sir If Fred Fulton, although a hard
hitter, is unable to put up any first-class
de.fense, don't you think ttoms kind friend
should advise him to keen out of Frank
Moran's reach? TElUty,
Hal Chase Is still furnishing proof that I
when the spirit moves him he Is still the
prince ofnrst-baso play. .In the combi
nation o'f three arts fielder, batpmanand
b.iscrunner his superior never played the
bag that calls for the big mitt.
Tho Giants havo rcdlacotcrod tho old
fashioned adage that, while nothing suc
ceeds llko success, nothing falls like fail
ure. Emerging from last place In any
walk of llfo Is always a battle, not only
ngalnst rlal conditions, but also against
fate nnd tho fortunes of battle.
