SHOWING OF COLLEGIATE RECRUITS, PARTICULARLY INFIELDERS, PLEASES CONNIE fti
ONLY RESIDENT OP DISTRICT
nAltf RF, TITO "HTTATVrP" nnrX
MACK SAYS HIS RECRUITS ARE
IN POOR PHYSICAL CONDITION
AND WILL RE SLOW STARTING
Peerless Manager Is Convinced That He Has
Material at Hand to Develop Another Famous
Infield Oldring a Free Agent
MANAGER MACIt, of tho Athletics, declares that his college recruits will not
bo able to show their true form for at least two weeks, because with the
exception of Eddie King, tho youngster from Amherst Aggies, nil are In poor
condition. The college teams on which tho youngsters played completed their
schedules about June IE and tho players, with tho excoptlon of King, went to
their homes for a Vacation and did not play ball at all for two weeks.
According to Mack tho layoff had a bad effect on tho youngsters and It
Will roqulro at least a weok of. strenuous practice to bring them back to tho form
they showed when they were Btgncd. Most of tho lads did not havo a ball In
their hands for two weeks, while Lawry, the most highly touted youngster, has
been 111 and Is still weak. It probably will be somo time before ho shows his
(rue form.
Tho wizard manager Is satisfied that he has tho material at hand to develop
mother wonderful infield. Ho says that it will bo somo time beforo tho men
have become acoustomcd to each other and thai they may look bad at times,
but that ho la not worrying about his infield problem and will now turn his at
tention to tho outfield. ,
Bo confident la Mack that he is well fortified In the Infield with tho addition
of Rowo and Xawry that ho will dovelop King, a youngster, whose batting and
base running Impressed him greatly, Into an outfielder. Lannlng, tho Wbsloynn
collegian, who has boon playing In tho outfield, is not an outfielder, but a pitcher,
suid In tho future he will pitch. Mack says Lannlng Is a good hitter, but Is not
last enough for the outfield, and as he has shown a lot of stuff as a pitcher
he wlU conflno himself to pitching.
4 Mack folia of His Plaits
TT Ea TijjtiD AY'S game was a hard ono on tho youngsters because Catcher
X Moyer had such a bad day and made everything so hard for everybody,"
aid Mack. "Still, I hardly cxpoct any of tho recruits to show much for a weok
or two because thoy aro not In good shape. Asldo from IClqg none of tho boys
has been playing ball for two weeks, owing to examinations and vacations to
their homos. They need about ono week of morning practlco beforo they will bo
Toady to shsw their true form.
"I am very much pleased with Lawry and Howe and believe that I shall
use IClng In tho outfield. Ho Is an excellent hitter, pretty good baso runner and
& mighty smart lad, who Bhould develop Into a flno outfielder. Lawry has been
sick and If It wero not for tho Injuries to Lajolo and Pick I would not pormlt
' him to play for at least a week, but I need him now.
"Wo know what Lawry can do. Ho Is not a long distance hitter, but a con
sistent clubber and a flno all round ball player. Ho may be slow starting, but
he Is going to come through in a surprising manner. A lot of people 'think this
Btuff about his Bpeed la bunk, but I want to say that it is on tho level. Ho is as
fast as any ball player I havo over seen. Whethor ho can bo taught to utlllzo
his speed remains to bo seen.
"Rowo has made an excellent Impression. Ho is ono of thoso youngsters who
look hotter every time you sco them. Ho has great possibilities. My Infield
problem is not worrying me' at nil. It will take a little time before they aro
working smoothly, but I am well satisfied. "Witt looks better every day and
Will continue to Improve. I have all my recruits hero now with two exceptions.
They will not Join me for some time.
"For tho presont I must find an outfielder, as tho retirement of Oldring leaves
. place to fill. Starting today or tomorrow I will uso IClng In the outfield as
Lannlng will devote himself to pitching In tho future. An outfielder, a catcher
and a pitcher" aro my only needs. Wo will try out a lot of players this summer
becauso you can novert tell when you will And a gem, but I am very well
satisfied If I got tho outfielder, pitcher and catcher. I have two men coming
Who I think will fill two of tho positions and I guess I will get the other.
Oldring Was Made Free Agent
UT WAS sorry to sco Rubo Oldring retire becauso ho was still a great ball
JL player when he wanted to bo. Rubo simply lost interest In baseball, or be
came disgusted playing with a losing team, and did not do as well as ho might
havo last season and this year.
"When Oldlng. told mo ho was through I told him I would trade him If ho
Wanted to go elsewhere, on almost any team In the league could use him, but ho
told me ho did not want to play anywhero but In this city and that he was
merely tired of tho game. I gave him his unconditional release, because I took
him at his word.
"For all I know he might sign up with somo other team and return to the
game, but I don't think he would do that after asking me for his releaso
because he wanted to retire. It is unfortunate that he should retire before 'his
time, as ho is still a great player and I think he will regret his decision when It
Is too late. I did not want him or any other ball player who is not satisfied,
o I will forget all about it"
V Willis C. Davis, the University of Pennsylvania tennis star, Is one of the four
survivors In the championship singles of tho national court tennis tourney at
Cleveland. Davis eliminated Walter Knox, of Princeton, yesterday by playing bril
liant tennis, and will fight it put with Conrad Doyle, of Washington; Charles Gar
land and William McBllroy, of Pittsburgh, for the right to meet R. Korrls
WUHoms in the challenge round for the championship.
Tho wrestling tournament at the Olympla last night was pronounced a great
sruccess, but nobody knows why. Tho sporting public here does not fall for the
wrestling game as It does In Now Tork, Chicago and a few other large cities,
and only a small crowd attended. The three matches were very interesting, ac
cording to wrestling experts, but the crowd failed to enthuse.
i" ...
A lost ball while driving from the 18th tee In the afternoon prevented James
Simpson, of the Blue Mound Country Club, of Milwaukee, from breaking the
Mlnlkahda courso record In the national open golf tourney at Minneapolis in
the second day's play In the qualifying round. Simpson's sensational work has
bade him tho favorite In tho tourney.
When Lawry was sent to -bat in place of Myers In the ninth inning, the fans
wero anxious to see him hit an Infield grounder, as they wanted to see him run,
, hut the Maine recruit, who Is reputed to be the fastest runner In baseball, fanned.
As Fat Moron says, "Fast runners are a great asset, but you have to hit the
hall beforo you run."
"Wonder what Manager McGraw willjdo If the Cardinals accept his offer to
trade Tesreau for Bailee, now that the former has returned to form. The day
following McOraw'a decision to trade the big splt-baller, Tesreau came back
yrith. s, shutout victory over Brooklyn. It is hard to see how McGraw could
figure this a good trade under any, conditions, as Bailee at his best never classed
with Tesreau.
St. Louis fans and scribes want Fielder Jones to use George Slsler on the
mound every fourth day and on first base when he Is not pitching. When
Slsler was unable to play regularly for a week because of an injured leg, Jones
sent him to the mound and he pitched a great game. Now the fans want him to
pitch, as well as play first, but Jones is not likely to pay any attention to their
wishes, Blsler W of too much value to the Browns to switch him about, and
most likely both his pitching and his hitting would be affected If Jones adopted
the auggestlon,
a
Believing that the position of tho Giants bench, which compels the players to
face a number of dazzling' signs on the left field fence, has caused the prolonged
hatting slump on the home field. Manager McGraw has,declded to use the players'
bench on the left field side, which faces the green-painted wall. Last year Manager
Moran changed the Phllly bench from the left to tho right side of the field for the
same reason and, got the desired result,
. .
Judging" by the way Tyrus Cobb and Joe Jackson are clubbing, Trls Speaker"
is going to have trouble holding the batting lead. Jackson and Cobb have had
their annual slump and are now climbing, while Speaker has gone along at a
consistent clip and probably has a slump coming.
Willis S. D. Darts, who has made such a splendid record In the tournament
How la progress In Cleveland for the clay court tennis championship of the United
Statec, has developed at such a rate within the last year that he Is likely to be a
trong- contender for national honors when the meet is held at Forest HUls in
August

TY COBB'S GOAT?
HUH! THERE AIN'T
NO SUCH ANIMAL
Southern Ad Man Tells How
Catcher Schlei Stopped (?)
the Georgia Peach
STOLE ALL BUT THE BALL
Ex-Catcher George Schlei, formerly of
tho Reds and the Giants, and once rated
as one of the best mlttmen In the bis
leagues, now mows alfalfa with stolid mien
"somewhoro In America."
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, an earnest base
ball player, 'who also flourished at the
time of ex-Catcher Schlei, still la somewhat
prominent in baseball spheres. In fact, If
we're not mistaken, he leads the American
League
Why one great player should .continue
placidly on hla way as the greatest player
In the game while the other star should
drop Into oblivion was told today during
an Intermission In the ad men's activities
by Brom Ridley, business manager of the
New Orleans Dally States. A few palm
beachod delegates mopped their brows as
Ridley handed them the following:
"Soeral years ago, when all the big
leaguers were gathered for the spring Jun
ket In the South, the Reds and tho Tigers
were signed up for a series In Dallas, Tex.
i happened to be there and eot to talking
to Schlei," said the New Orleans ad ex
pert "'What do you think of Cob?" I asked
the husky catcher.
" 'He's a boob,' scoffed the Red's receiver.
Furthermore, he's a flah. He's a big, over
rated piece of ham. It makes me sick to see
him get away with tho stuff he does. Ho
wouldn't livo a minute In a regular league.
Wait till he gets up against me. Anyone
with ono arm and a little brains can make
him look like the worst piece of cheeee that
ever came along. Anybody can get Ty
Cobb's goat If they go about It right,'
sneered Schlei, 'and you Just watch me show
him up.'
Whose Goat Was It?
"I told some of the sporting writers about
It." continued Ridley, "so they went and
had a talk with Schlei. The papers the next
morning were Bmeared with stories on how
the premier catcher of the National League
was going to get the goat of the best base
stealer in the American League. The
scribes, to make things more realistic,
bought a real goat and dragged IV up to
the press stand with them. Ty was much
riled and couldn't even see the ball.
"'Let htm hit It,' hooted Schlei behind
the bat "He can't move it he does get on
base.'
"The 'Georgia Peach' didn't do a thing In
tho Saturday game, and the papers said
that his goat was gotten, sure enough.
"Then came Sunday," drawled the South
erner to the open-mouthed ad men gathered
about "Ty walked out on the diamond at
his first time up and blew a ktss to tho goat
hanging Its chin whiskers over the press
stand box.
'"We've got your goat, you big bluff.'
Jeered Schlei behind the plate. Throw
your bat away. You're out now,'
Ty Deployed Into Action
'Ty Just smiled and laid on the ball with
hla customary vigor. On the next pitch he
stole second. He had three hits, and each
time, on the first pitch, he stole second.
Schlei began to crack. Ha ran Into the
grand stand. He fell over his own feet
He took one on the thumb and he muffed
everything. In the seventh Ty walked up
to the plate, looked a minute at Schlei and
started to laugh.
"Til tell you when I'm going to steal
this time,' said Bluffer Raymond.
"Ha knocked one over second for a clean
single," said Ridley, "and then ha held up
his hand for silence.
"'I will now steal second,' he said, as
Schlei waited desperately with the ball
In hla hand Cobb did. Schlei almost
threw the ball away In hla frenxy to get
the Georgia streak.
"'Now try third,' mocked Ty, and he
broke Into his wild lope for the bag at
the corner of the stretch.
"Schlei threw the ball wildly and Cobb
came trotting home.
" 'How about the goat stuftr Ty asked
the Reds catcher, who stood with his eyes
twisted In bloody wrath.
"A loud laugh came from the Detroit
bench.
"Catcher Schlei doffed hla mask, the pro
tector for his manly cheat and pads for
his wobbly shins.
44 'I'm through,' said the 'goat getter.'
"And he was," finished Rldley7 "Ha faded
away, was sent to (be minors and la now
out of the game."

Plan Agitated to Bar
Golfers Who Do Not
Live in This District
From Competing
By SANDY McNIBLICK
DISTItlCT championships ought only to
be played for by residents of the dis
trict. This was the sentiment expressed today
by a tidy group of golfers and civilians
gathered about the 19th holo at Huntingdon
Valley, where Is being waged tho season's
conflict for the nmateur championship of
tho Golf Association of Philadelphia.
The G A. qf l'miadclphln Is about tho
only organization of similar strength that
permits all members connected with clubs
belonging to the association to take part
In all Its events, whether said player la a
resident of tho district or not
It was pointed out by ono of the fore
most golfers of tho city that It didn't scorn
fair for a ployer to Invndo this district
and take the championship of, Philadelphia
off to some distant clime, say Omar, Mich.,
then to laugh and chnrtlo over It In se
clusion while tho district from which he
had won It had no one to lino up against
Invaders, or In Its tourneys as Its local
pride and champion.
Rule Enforced Elsewhere
Tho Metropolitan district, It was said, has
such a powerful ruling on the subject that
no player not a resident of a certain zone
of tho heart of tho city can play In Its
championships.
Tho ruling was so rigidly enforced that
John G. Anderson, national finalist was
obliged to move Insldo the "ropes" a short
time ago. '
There has not boen any case recently
where a forolgncr has Invaded the Phila
delphia district and carried away the
honors, but tho case might come up at any
time, It was pointed out
Hugh Li Wllloughby will champion a
proposed ruling that will be submitted at
tho next meeting of tho Golf Association
to cover the matter and prohibit any one
not a resident of tho local district to play
In Its championships.
Sidney Sharwuod showed a flno rally
when ho cut loose from his 81 of the morn
ing round yesterday morning and toro home
In the afternoon with a 78, which won for
him tho silver cross trophy of tho Golf
Association of Philadelphia, offered for the
best total of 72 holes In the championship
qualifying round and the 3d -holo play Me

square.
It Is In tho Bhape of a malteso cross and

By GRANTLAND RICE
WOULD be simpler to brand Bennle

ICauff la not yet a finished ball player.
He has a world to learn. He overswfngs at
bat and Isn't the Burest pegger In the
world. He Isn't nearly as good as his two
mates, George Burns and Dave Hobertson.
But this doesn't mean that he la a failure.
There Isn't a harder worker In the game,
and this will count In his favor once he be
gins to gather in a few tricks of the trade
that he hasn't yet acquired. His showing
bo far has been a big disappointment. But
In such an unusual year of upsets It Is
hardly fair to render complete Judgment on
any player until the full returns are In.
That Punch Again
"It's the old wallop that rules the game,
baseball with the others," suggeata a con
temporary. Thla always sounds good, even though It
slips upon the Stairway of Truth and comes
on down to the cellar. ,
Just at present you don't happen to see
the Cuba In the first division. Yet they are
leading the league In batting by several
points. This Is only a detail. They also
lead In long hits and extra bases by a fairly
tidy margin. An(l who are the first four
sluggers of tho league T Williams, of Chi
cago; Doyle, of New York; Schulte, of
Chicago, and Zimmerman, of Chicago.
This Isn't far away from a complete
monopoly of the so-called wallop. But it
hasn't lifted the Cubs into the first division
yet, much less first place. The wallop Is
an Important part of baseball, but It Isn't
the entire game by a number of marine
leagues.
Why "No Credit"?
Even if Moran should knock out Dillon,
wo have been told he will get very little
credit for beating a smaller man.
Which Is our notion of bunk In purest
form. Dillon Is regarded as one of the
toughest customers In the game. Ho has
his share of skill, the stamina and tho
punch. He is a natural fighter, who has
more than held his own against many of
the best.
Admitting that he is 25 pounds lighter
than Moran and several Inches shorter,
any man who knocks out Jack Dillon In 10
rounds will deserye all tho credit he can
carry. n
Bob Fltzsimmons was 40 or SO pounds
lighter than Jim Jeffries when they met,
but tho California bear was awarded plenty
of credit for knocking the Buby One cold.
