" MACKMEN LOOKED LIKE TEAM
, OP OLD IN SECOND GAME OF
DOUBLE BILL WITH BROWNS
Whitey Witt Improves Athletics 50 Per Cent., but
Injured Finger Causes Him to Toss Away
Close Battle No Quitters in Line-up
TUB Athletics lost two games yesterday, but tho performance should go down
as a boost rather than a fenock. It Is tho customary thing for tho A'a to
rop ball panics, but It is Unusual when they play tho high-class ball they put up
In the second act of tho bargain-day matinee with St. Louis.
The first part of tho ahow Is gone and forgotten. Tho Macks played a looso
amo and Imitated a gang of minor leaguers; but when thoy camo back tho second
tlmo their work reminded ono of tho Athletics of old. Brilliant plays wero pulled
.IT, tha attack was sum and deadly and tho mon tried their hardest nt every
atago of tho game.
Witt Has Hard Luck and Loses Gam c
WITH Larry at second, Witt at short and a good pitcher of tho calibre of Bush,
Meyer, Shcehan or Nnbors, tho Mackmcn are good. Yesterday thoy looked
Uko anything but a tall-end organization, and It was only through tho hardest
kind of luck that thoy wero defeated In tho second game. Whltey Witt Improved
tho club CO por cont., yet ho virtually lost tho gamo In the ninth Inning, when
lio mads a wild throw to first. Inn Justice to tho youngster, however, let It bo
remembered that hto ball slipped from his Injured finger Just as ho was about
to throw and a wild heavo resulted.
Connie Mack has been criticized freely for tho poor showing of his
team in tho last throe weeks. This Is a big mistake, for Instead of criticism
Connie should recclvo words of praise. In the first placo, ho has a young team,
Whtch Is bad enough, and In tho second place, It Is shot to pieces, which Is
trorso. Just tako a look ot the line-up. Stuffy Mclnnls Is on tho Injured list
and Strunk Is playing first base; Oldrlng Is gone and Wally Schang, ono of the
best catchers In tho major leagues, Is filling tho vacant spot In left field. Strunk'o
eubtltuto la Matterllng, tho former Ursinus star, nnd although ho Is playing a
rood game, he cannot yet fill Amos' shoes. AVltt has an Injured finger, Larry
JLaJols la In bad shapo and Charley Pick has bcoA on tho sldo lines with an Injured
thumb. Isn't that enough to demoralize any team In tho world?
Team Shows Great Fighting Spirit
BUT tho bost part of It allls tho fighting spirit shown by tho patched-up club.
They play Just as hard when they nro ooveral runs behind as they do whon they
sxo leading. Thero is not a quitter on tho club, and tho Athletics deservo credit
for their work.
Connie Mack is a wise manager Ho has dovelopcd more championship
teams than any ocrjor manager In tho business, and ho Is on tho road to build
up another. It will tako time; but Judging from the showing mado by the team
In tho second gamo yesterday, thero 13 hope, and it would not bo at all surprising
If tho A's started In right now to tako that lato-ln-July spurt that was predicted
last winter before tho club took its spring training.
Fight Result Depends on Physical Condition
"PICKING tho winner of tonight's Levlnsky-Dlllon match In Baltimore Is like
JT taking a chance on tho probablo result of tho battle now raging In Europe.
King followers seem to bo divided In their opinions as to tho winner and it cer
tainly Is a hard matter to dope out who has tho edge.
Using tho previous Dlllon-Levlnsky bouts as a criterion It would seem that
tho ono who is in the better shape will win. Dillon Is the fighter; Levlnsky the
boxer and if the contest happens to ond In a knockout thero is no doubt that
Jack will bo tho one to connect with the K. O. The Battler's chances of winning
depend on his cleverness.
Levlnsky has gono along since entering tho heavyweight class as tho busiest
f tho big fellows. When ho first went under Dan Morgan's management tho
Stratford deputy mado a record for the number of bouts engaged In, sometimes
basing four and five times a woek. Seldom did he leavo tho ring with a mark on
his body as muto testimony of a fight.
But twlco in his entire career has Levlnsky suffered any Injury and both
times Dillon was tho ono who inflicted tho punishment. First Jack broke Bar
ney's noso and later he gave the Battler a
boxers.
Daring Feats Performed at Point Breeze
PERSONS who never have bean to tho Point Breoze motordromes and witnessed
the feats of daring which are pulled off twlco a week do not realize that
oycllng and motorcycling Is ono of the most thrilling of all sports. The thousands
of cycle fans who do tako an interest in this sport are unanimous In the opinion
thatthere Is no sport in America, which holds tho Interest of the crowd as do theso
dare-devljs who buzz around the inclined track at a sickening clip.
Motorcycle races havo the samo effect on a largo part of tho crowd that
bull rights do that Is, thero always Is n feeling In tho mind of the spectator
that something Is going to happen.1 Often things do happen. Many men havo
been kllla4 and many injure! in smash-ups. Ono of tho worst sports tragedies
In recent years happened in Cleveland In 19H, whon a motor rider plunged
through tho rail and killed a number of spectators.
"While such Incidents are not really desired by any ono, hundreds of peoplo
want to be present if anything of that nature docs occur, and that is one of
tho reasons for the intense thrill produced.
No one can fall to be interested in the races when they are able to see
uch men as Leon DIdler, George Wiley and Clarence Carman spinning around
the drome paced by motorcycles.
Clubs Among Players at Cobb's Creek
IN FORMING a golf club from among tho players who use tho public golf
course at Cobb's Creek. local golfers aro following In tho footsteps Qf tho
public course golfers of Chicago, Now York and other cities. In Chicago, both at
the Jackson Park course and at the smaller nine-hole course at Garfield Park,
golf clubs havo been formed, with only a nominal initiation fee and yearly dues.
Both organizations aro members of tho Chicago District Golf Association, and
their members are eligible to play In all association events and aro invited to play
In many invitation tourneys in tho Chicago district.
The public course golfers also foster three events In tho Windy City. Tho
Chicago city championship annually is held under the auspices of the Jackson
Park Golf Association on tho Jackson Park course, nnd the Garfield Golf Club
annually stages the Cook County open and amateur championships. It will take
several years, of course, for the proposed Philadelphia Golf Club to take a place
in local golf affairs on a par with the two clubs In Chicago, but should the Golf
Association of Philadelphia admit the new club to membership It is only a ques
tion of time before the newcomers will bo welcome to compete In association
vents. -
When this tlmo comes It also will mark the arrival of a new era in Philadel
phia golf. Now and better players will be developed as tlmo goes on, and It Is
not too much to predict that even a champion may bo found among the public
course golfers.
Walter Christie Boosts Arlie Mucks
WALTER CHRISTIE, the track coach of the University of California, is out
with a boost for Arile Muoks, tho Wisconsin weight thrower, and with a
knock for the Intercollegiate Association and the Western Conference manage
ment. Never again, says Christie, while he Is coach of teams at California, will
any of the Berkeley athletes compete in the I. C. A. A. A. A, or the Conference
championships. He doesn't think tho California athletes were given proper con
sideration in either championship meeting,
Liversedge, the shot-putter of California, won the shot-put in the Conference
meet and later was disqualified and first place awarded to Mucks, who was second.
Mucks in turn sent the prize to Liversedge, saying that the Callfornlan won the
prize fairly and that he (Mucks) didn't care to accept the trophy on a techni
cality. Christie says; "This Is a good object lesson of clean athletics and should
help the game a lot. We peed more athletes like Mucks."
Princeton Will Try For I. C. A. A. A. A. Games
FOR years the intercollegiate track and field championships have alternated
between Pennsylvania and Harvard, and In fact the naming of the place for tho
annual games was nothing more or less than a formality. Johns Hopkins has
&n excellent track and Syracuse has one of the best athletic fields in the East,
but these two colleges stopped bidding for the games when they discovered they
didn't have a chance of getting them. I3ut it may be different next year,
Princeton and Cornell both have new athletic fields, and the Princeton track
management is of the opinion that it would be a good thing to conduct the I. C,
A. A, A. A. meet there. Before Princeton makes a bid for the championships
the Tiger management will sound out the other colleges, and if the Tigers apply
for the games, one reasonably can be sure that enough support has been assured
them to -win,
Some fan think it Is strange that Connie Mack refuses to divulge the names
at many at hi recruits. The answer is easy. Ha doesn't know them himself.

Joined a wandering band of semi-pros who
were booked for a game a day through six
weeks In Juno and July. The thermometer
ranged from 102 to 107.
At tho end of three weeks tho sight of a
baseball, bat or gloe had bocome repug
nant to the eye and an abomination in the
land. Baseball every day when you had
become worn to a frazzle from tho terrific
heat wan no longer a sport. The only thing
that saved existence was tho rough nnd rare
humor of old Pat Flaherty, onco famed as a
star pitcher for Pittsburgh.
Old Pat cracked the dull monotony of the
occasion. It was his custom from town to
town to taunt and harass tho homo club and
to the Irate lllagcrs until a near-riot was
Incited. There was some Bport left In get
ting out of each town unscalped or un
beaned, but sliding from base to base under
a blazing July sun was no longer a frollo
after the second week out.
Up In the stands you figure the ball
player has a cinch. But go out and try It
day after day, with the howls of the multi
tude ringing In your ears every time you
boot one or fall to make a hit,
Avernge Values
Batting averages are queer Institutions.
Benny Kauff batted .314 In the Fed circuit
last year, and Lee Magee hit .330. Kauff
now is down around .270, with Mugee
around .240, Yet Hal Chase, who only
batted .280 with the Feds, Is up over .300
In the National. And there you are.
The West and Lawn Tennis
Norrls Williams stopped the Western
lawn tennis players In 1914 by upsetting
Maprice McLaughlin. William Johnston re
turned the main eprlg of laurel to Call
fornla last year, and now the odds are
still with the Weit In addition to John
ston and McLoughlin the Western type will
be represented by such fast oung stars as
Davis, Llndley Murray, Dawson and Griffin.
The Kast, In addition to Williams, has
young stars coming forward at a tidy clip,
but none, barring Williams, who lopk strong
enough to hold the West at bay.
For all that, this 1918 championship
should be one of the best ever held in any
land, for there seems to be a better baU

tho team thnt will grab some world's series
monoy."
Manager McGraw, of the Giants, Is very
anxious to land Ilerzoff, and they havo met
frequently during tho last two days. It Is
said McQraw Is willing to offer Hcrzog a
contract which will Insure him as much
money If tho Olants don't win the pennant
