BASEBALL MANAGERS FIND IT DIFFICULT MATTER TO SIGN ' COLLEGE PLAYERS FOR CLUBS
COST OF BUILDING TEAM1 FROM
COLLEGIATE MATERIAL COMES
HIGH, AS CONNIE WELL KNOWS
Tioga Citizen May Be Accused of Getting Players
at a Minimum, but A's Leader Is Taking More
Chances Than Other Managers
THE task of building up tho Athletic' baseball club was begun by Connlo
Mack at Slilbo Park yesterday afternoon when four of tho futuro groats
forgot all about their college diplomas and donned uniforms to play tho great
national gamo with tho other gentlemen on Mr. Mack's payroll. Only ono
rocrult broko Into tho box scoro, but others wero on hand to lend their assistance
If called upon, lnnlng, a former student at Wcsloyan College, at' Mlddlotown,
Conn., batted for Joe Bush In tho eighth, and although ho failed to hit any
thing but a high foul to Henry, ho .stood up to tho plato Uko a votoran. Jlng
Johnson, tho noted twlrler from Urslnus; Williams, a sharpshootur from tho
University of North Carolina, and Kowa, tho third baseman from Maine, will
be given a chance to show what they can do In tho near futuro.
Another flock of colleglato stars is expected almost any day, but Connlo is
not giving out any Information. Lowry and Whtttaltcr aro euro to bo on hand,
and tho others, whoever thoy are, will bo with them.
Each year, when Stack gathers together a bunch of now talent, tho samo
old cry goes up, that ho is getting playors at a minimum cost and tho team
is not so expensive as Bonnie Knurrs salary. It is said that nil Connlo has to do
Is to slip an aspiring collegian a railroad ticket, and that constitutes his purchaso
price. Theso critics point to tho enormous prices paid for that famous disaster,
O'Toolo, for Frank Baker, Eddlo Collins nnd scores of others. It Is necessary,
thoy say, to spend largo wads of money if a championship team Is put on tho
field. Thoy further point out that this can not bo done through tho reckless
distribution of railroad tickets.
No Easy Task to Sign Collegian
ALL. of which goes to show that tho Dear Old Public is deceived again. In
. theso modern times It Is as easy to sign a collogo baseball star as It Is to
cash a-,bum chock In a bank whero they know tho exact stato of your finances.
Tho present day coltoginn reads tho newspapers and knows that regular money
is paid to tho gentlemen who follow baseball for a livelihood. When a big loaguo
scout approaches hlm( ho remembers wh'at ho has read and signs tho contract
with a pen In ono hand and holds out the other, with upturnod palm, waiting to
havo It crossed with n halt ton of silver.
And that's not all. Every big collcgo baseball team has a coach, who usually
Is an ex-big leaguer. Tho coach also knows tho valuo of good playors, and as
ho i3 tho chief adviser of tho men playing under him, to scout must unload
lots of coin of tho realm at his feet. As an example, tako tho caso of Eppa
lUxey, now with tho Phillies. Eppa was unenrthed by Charley niglcr, tho Na
tional League umpire, when ho (Charles) was coaching tho baseball team at tho
University of Virginia. All RIglor asked was $2300 for Klxcy's slgnaturo to a
contract, and although tho caso was fought out boforo the National Commission,
he was awarded more than half of tho 'money.
team Game From the Bench
SO IT easily Is seen that it isn't a cinch to grab off these high brow athletes.
They also Insist on getting regular salaries, and tho exponSo piles up from tho
first day tho papers aro signed, regardless of tho fact that they might not bo
available for duty for a year or more. x
Eddlo Collins was on tho bench a year beforo ho became a regular; Plank was
useless for nlmost ono season; Bender had to bo put through a thorough schooling
beforo ho took his place on tho mound; Stuffy Mclnnls was wnrmlng tho bench
for two years, and Barry and many others wero allowed to ripen boforo they
earned their salaries.
Theso salaries, when traveling expenses aro included, amount to qulto a pllo
in one year and more than equal tho usual drafting price In tho minor leagues.
Then, again, it Is moro risky. Tf a minor leaguer It purchased for $1500, ho
can bo sent back if ho falls to make good; on tho other hand, If a collego player
blows up, it is hard to place him anywhere becauso littlo or nothing is known
of him, and as a result ho Is a total loss.
And they say that Connlo is not spending tho money for a now team! Tho
truth of the matter is that tho leader of tho Athletics is taking moro of a chanco
than tho other managers, and Is grabbing them green from tho bush in tho hopes
of teaching them big league baseball in tho samo manner that they studied In
college from freshmen up.
A's Play Good But Unfortunate Baseball
YESTERDAY'S defeat was tho eleventh suffered by tho Athlotics tlite month,
but tho team did not look so bad ns was expected. Tho team plays good but
unfortunate baseball, and Is in a slump that usually hlt.s a club a couplo of
times a season. The Giants hit tho toboggan at tho start, recovered In tho
ytfest and started to slido again when they starred to play at homo. Washing
ton, too, struck tho skids not so very long ago and went from May 27 to Juno 8
without winning a game. Then they beat Cleveland, won threo from St. Louis
nnd dropped four out of five In Chicago.
No matter how good a team appears to bo. It is likely to crack at any
mlnuto and it looks as if Cleveland was on tho rocks right now. That club
looked like world's champions against tho Athletics, but that walloping handed
them by Now York last Sunday started them on the down grade. Detroit followed
with another slam yesterday and is duo to further cut down their lead today.
Dodgers Now Badly Worried, Demoralized Team
' TjlOR threo years tho Phillies encountered 111 luck or wero decisively outplayed
S. on tho Brooklyn field. Even at homo tho Dodgers seemed to be able to beat
tho Phils no matter how poorly tho Brooklyn team might happen to bo playing
prior to clashing with tho Phils. Last season tho Dodgers took tho season's
aeries from Moran's mon, though tho Phillies succeeded in winning tho majority
of the games played with the other six National Leaguo teams.
Prior to tho first gamo of tho present herles Brooklyn had won eight out of
tho nlno games played with tho Phillies. Tho ability of Robinson's toam to defeat
the Phils decisively overy time the two teams clashed accounted for tho comfort
able lead tho Dodgers enjoyed Monday morning. Today only four points separato
the two teams; the "jinx" has been smashed, and the Dodgers look liko a different
ball team.
Playing the best ball they havo shown In two years, tho Phillies completely
outclassed the Dodgers and took tho tho first threo games of tho series, Thero
was nothing fluky about any of tho victories and no ono knows this better
than the Brooklyn players. Today they aro a badly worried, demoralized toam.
They now wonder how thoy happened to win so many games from tho champions
and also realizo that tho Phillies will be a different team when facing them in tho
future.
Three Victories Qver Robins -Encourage Champs
THE Phillies wero at the turning point of the season when tho series began.
Three or four defeats out of the five games would havo been a blow from
Which the Phils probably would not havo been ablo to recover. Tho loss of the
earnes would not have placed them so far from tho leaders, but tho moral effect
of another disastrous series with Brooklyn would have been great. Tho Dodgers
would have been convinced that they outclassed tho rest of tho leaguo and con
fidence, when not carried too far, is a wonderful asset In baseball.
The main feature of tho series from a Phllllo standpoint has been tho sud
den departure of the batting slump. Last season the Phtlll-j had tho "punch"
in the. form of extra baso hits, inserted at critical times, but this year Moran's
men have been winning their games through Alexander's brilliant pitching
and the ability qf Manager Moran to switch his attack in such a manner that a
large number of runs havo resulted from a few hits.
.
Applications are pouring into tho Evunjno Ledoeh offlco from boys who wish
to compete in the weekly track and field meets to bo conducted every Saturday
tnorning by this paper. The Evbnjno LRDonn's idea ia to Increase interest in
every branch of athletics, and in order to accomplish this the matter has been
put into tho competent hands of Ernest Crowhurst, who already has shown that
these meets will be a great success.
'
i
Billy Crowell'a 1917 baseball team at Lafuyotte will be strengthened by tho
addition of Sam Miller, of Tome. Miller ia more than six feet tall, weighs 170
pounds and ia regarded as a wondeiful young pitcher. On April 15 Miller pitched
a no-hlt, no-run game against tho Oilman County School team. Miller averaged
12 strikeouts per game during the last season.
Thus fur the scores of the garneti played by the Lodger baseball team have not
been printed. No doubt this is due to tho fact that Manager Harry Shaner does
not wish it to become known that his nino plays on Sunday,
Many of the Philadelphia Boy Scouts were scouting at Shibe Park yesterday.
Evidently their mission wa not Moutinif for baseball players.

DODGE ALWAYS
FEARED HE WAS .
GOING TO 'GET IT'
Former Phil lie, Victim of
Pitched Ball, Had Premoni
tion of Death on Ball Field
Johnny Dodge, third baseman of tho
Molillo Southern Association team, who died
Monday from Injuries received when btruck
by a pitched ball on Sunday last, nppe,i-ed
to liao a premonition of lilt fnto. V icn
Dotlgo was rwlth the Thlllies, in the ' ite
season ot 1012 anil tho caily p.irt of t'm
1013 bcason, he frequently bpoko to i'ie
writer of tho danger faced by a bat t
with a speed kins in tho box. Dotl ro
seemed to brood on the nutter, and li a
teammates generally attributed hH weak
showing with tho stick to the horror ho
had of being struck on tho head with a
fast one.
Often when Johnny would como to tho
bench after a time at bat lie laughlng'v
would remaik- "Say, If that fast ono lip 1
been six Incltci Inside it would havo gr t
mo good and then good night !" or "Tha
guy certainly Is using tho old bean ball out
thero today !"
Dodge did not express his fears freely to
his teammates, for ball players aro prone
to condemn tho man who flinches from a
pitched ball. If there lurks in tho breasts
a terror of the fast ono. they bury It ns deep
as pos.slblo, realizing that tho man who lets
timidity got tho better of him is through as
a major leaguer, and even will havo trouble
making good In tho bushes.' Dodge, how
ever, talked at length with tho writer on
tho subject. On ono occasion, when tho
rhlls wero playing In New York, Ilubo Mnr
qunrd had fanned Dodgo threo straight
times, and Johmiv was taxed with pulling
away from tho plate.
Lack Imagination
"It Isn't that I am afraid exactly,"
Johnny explained. "I don't bellovo I am a
coward, but somehow I can't forgot what
It means to be hit oh tho head by ono of
those sinoko balls I nover havo learned
tho knack of getting out of tho way when
a pitcher cuts ono at me. I know that
some day I am going to get It, and tho Idea
Is with mo eery time I go to the plato.
It's all right for thoso fellows to laugh
they haon't any Imagination."
Johnny was anything but ,t nervous man
when out of tho batter's box. A third b.iho
man, ho boasted a wonderful pair of hands
nnd tho ability to move liko a dash Charllo
Dooln frequently remarked that Dodgo was
as flno a fielding baseman as oer handled
a baseball, and added that if ho could hit
over ."00 ho would no havo disposed of
him under any condition.
This wonderful fielding ability and quick
ness enabled Dodgo to play closer to tho
batter than most third Backers daro gn Hall
players recognize tho fact that third prob
ably Is the most dangerous position play,
becauso tho third baseman must play closer
to tho batter than any other except tho
pitcher. Tho hard-hitting right-hander fre
quently shoots the ball at tho third bani man
hard enough to kill him instantly if It liiu
him right.
Dangerous Play
Again, the third baseman must make one
of the most dangerous maneuvers on tho
ball Held. With a bunt expected, It Is tho
duty to rush in and Hold tho ball to first
Frequently tho hatter crosses his oppo
nents l.iflilng at the ball Instead of l:iing
it down. Imagine tho danger to tho third
baseman who la rushing in, sometimes not
10 yards from the hitter, when ho swings his
bat ! Most third basemen consider this the
menace that thay face every day.
Dodgo, liowecr, was afraid of no ball
over btruck by a bat. He always played
close la apd when a bunt was expected
almost was on top of the batter. When
tho team was barnstorming through the
South in the spring Dodgo played the samo
way, although frequently tho diamonds
wero so rough that other Inflelders played
safo and made no real attempt to Held hard
bounders Dooln frequently warned him to
lay back and protect himself at all times,
but Dodgo only laughed and went after
everything
And so Dodgo won a chanco In the big
leagues and went back to the minors simply
because he had Imagination and could not
forget the consequences of being hit with a
pitched ball. Dooln traded him to Cin
cinnati for Beats Becker and later he was
sent to the Memphis team. There he stayed
until his fate overtook him on the baseball
field at Mobile.

DECISIVE VICTORY
IN DILLON BATTLE
MORAN PREDICTS
Hoosier a Great Fighter, Be

of Own Ability
wniTn sulphur snmxns, n. t.,
June 21. Hero, where tho pines aro fra
grant and the air stimulates lllto wine,
Frank Moran Is going through tho final
stunts In propagation for his fight with
Jack Dillon, a 10-round affair, scheduled to
talto placo In tho open air in Brooklyn on
Juno 20.
Moran is living tho llfo of a rustic. Fish
ing, canoeing and swimming constltuto a
largo part of his conditioning program. As
ofton ns ho can, ho journeys over to
neighboring fnrms and lends tho folks a
bit of his strength In plowing or doing other
chores.
Moran each evening boxes fiom four to
six rounds with Ills sparring partners,
Frank Kendall nnd Zulu Kid, In addition
to working tho pulleys, punching tho bag and
similar muscle-producing tricks.
"Dillon Is being quoted ns saying that
bo's going to knock you outi" tho Pitts
burgh battler was Informed.
Moran grinned.
"That's what 'Wlllard bald nnd Johnson,
too," ho replied. "I don't doubt that Dillon
Is going to try to knock m"e out. But ho
isn't going to do it, if I know anything
about it. He's a tough bird. Some folks
belittle him. I don't. I respect his fighting
skill. He's a great battler, but I think that
I am a bit better."
"I'm going out to win and win decisively."

Brother Stars
Baseball has known one or two Instances
where brothers wero enlisted ns major
leaguo pitchers.
But tho Coeleskto family carries moro
pitching talent than any other now chart
ered upon tho dopo. Harry Covelcskje
so far has won nine games and dropped but
two. Stnntoy Covelcsklo, tho Cleveland
member, hns won 9 and lost four. Between
them tho record is 18 victories against six
defeats, with a percentage yield only a
Bhndo below .800, undoubtedly tho best
pitching record that any two brothers over
achieved.
The Syracuse Stymie
Glory Is a shifting Institution. Thero
wero seasons In long array whero Cornell
triumphed on tho water and tho track,
only to buckle up upon tho gridiron.
Through this last year the Ithacan de
tachment ruled tho gridiron and maintained
lti supremacy on tho trnck. But with a
rise In ono direction came a drop from
the old rulershlp of tho water. Tho Syra
cuse stymie now has come twlco between
Cornell nnd a clean sweep on both land
and water. Syracuse has Invaded Ithacan
glory at Us strongest point. Cornell's glory,
taking In her season's work at all sports, Is
greater than ever. Syracuso merely has pre
vented an overwhelming triumph.
The Double Barrier
As a big averago at this season ot tho
Jubilee, Cobb either has been well In the
lead or has had but ono man to beat out.
Today ho Is not only well behind, but ho
hns at least twostars to overhaul. Speaker
ha3 fought his way on beyond .380, while
Joo Jackson has moved up around .340.
With Ty still below .330, tho Job ho now
faces Is tho toughest one of his career.
Thero Is tho chanco that Speaker and
Jackson might slump, but no great chanco
that both will slump. Ono of tho two Is
fairly certain of maintaining a swift spring
most of the way. It has taken .370 or
better to lead tho American League for sev
oral years. From now out Ty 'must bat
onlya notch or two below .400 to bo sure
of extending his reign to a ten-year stretch.
The Pennant Belief
Your Undo Wllbert Robinson, of tho
Brooklyn ball club, has been charged with
having two assets to work with tho pitch

Ho has something more tho bollef In

test and by the fact that other manufacturers have lately
begun to adopt them for their trucks. But Dorris started
first and has had the advantage of years of time for
harmonizing and perfecting each of these fundamental
principles in its relation with the others.
