piONNIB MACK bollovcs that tho gamo will bo a great thing, and says
ho la willing to manago his former stars for tho day. Ho says that
they will need llttlo practice for team work and tholr play should bo Just
as smooth as in tho olden days.
Home Teams Forced to Accept Short End
DASHING Davo Davenport, ono of tho foremost pitchers of tho year, la mainly
responsible for tho fact that the Athletics' ball club has lost a gamo. It la
omothlng unusual for tho homo talent to loso nowadays, but Davo, who did tho
Pitching yesterday In tho St. Louli-Mackmen contest, had more stuff on tho ball
than a mother puts In a letter to a soldier son. Tho result was that not a Connlo
constituent counted. Two St. Loujs uniforms wero seen dashing across tho rubber
In tho very first inning, but outsldo of theso enemy counters thero was no scoring.
JJavo allowed Just four hits. Ping Bodlo got two of theso nnd B.itcs and Meyer tho
ethers. Tho latter mado a foolish chuck to second to catch Shotton on Smith's
acrlfico, and tho ball was too low for Witt to handle. Tho piny put two on tho
bases, and after Slslcr had sacrificed tho runners Shotton scored on Pratt's grounder
and Smith dented tho plato on Sloan's smash into left.
I ROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER, tho big boy hlmhelf, worked at
Pittsburgh In tho opener with tho Pirates, but Manager Pat might Jusjt
as well havo used tho bat boy. Tho Phils had an off day. Outsldo of tho
first Inning tho locals could not push over a run. while tho Pirates got two
In tho first and thrco In the second.
Sergeant Jim Bagbji Became a Pitcher Through Accident
ITIM BAOBY, Cleveland's star pitcher, can produce n, perfectly good alibi any,
" tlmo tho Inqulsltlvo questioner Insists on a reason for his success on tho
mound. Jim modestly can claim that It Is not his fault, and to provo it drag In
Tim Hendryx, tho Yankeo outfielder, to corroborate his claim. All of which shows
that sometimes wo havo greatness thrust upon us, as can bo seen by thli har
rowing talo:
Twos a hot summer's day down in New Orleans. This is not strange or
Unusual, but wo must ring It In for tho scenic effect. Two ball clubs wero fighting

I got It!" yollod Tim as ho dashed toward center Hold.
"I havo It!" shouted Bagby, who used proper English despite tho heat of
tho day and tho closeness of tho battle.
Neither heard the other, and when Scrgoant Jim stretched out his hands to
krab tho ball ho collided with' Hendryx. His right hand landed In tho middlo of
Tim's back and of course tho ball fell safe, Bagby was forced to quit tho game,
and when a physician mado an examination it was found that tho radius bono
Was broken abovo tho wrist. This put Jim on tho sldo lines for a long tlmo and
When tho arm began to recovor ho began to throw tho ball, Just to strengthen
tho muscles. In a short tlmo Bagby noticed that ho could whizz 'em over and
tartcd to experiment with curves. Much to his surprise ho had control, and as
tho weeks rolled on ho decided that ho would become n good pitcher instead of .
His rocord proves that ho mado no mistake.

J3AGBY was Interviewed whon ho was horo last week and admitted every
thing excopt that tho broken arm made him a good pitcher. "I always
know I could pitch," ho said, "but I'll novcr forget that gamo. It was
July 17, 1913, In Now Orleans. It Is truo that I collided with Hendryx
when wo wero after a fly boll, but there is ono correction I wish to make
Instead of ny right hand coming In contact with his back, it landed on
his head. That's tho reason it was fractured."

Hard Job to Handle Such a Crowd on Nine-Hole

Who went up to bat
And struck out; ....... .

"He's got something that bird"
Whereupon his mates
Fell on him with bats
And murdered him
Before ho became more violent.
AYOUXG ball player, who writes mat no

tho bat. In placo of bracing himself with
his feet well apait, Cobb ptand3 with his
heels almost together, only a few Inches
a part. Then ns tho ball comc3 tip ho stops
forward, with his right foot on almost a
stialght lino toward the box. Ho never
steps away, nnd, onco tho pitcher starts his
winu-up, cobu'a cyo Is nover shifted from
tho ball. ,
"Keep your cyo on tho ball" Is nn old
golf maxim. It Is equally -applicable to
baseball.
As for Attitudes
Mlko Donlln. ono of tho ereatest hitters
of them all, figures that tho right mental
attltudo Is of far moro importanco than any
stylo at bat.
"When you go up.'' says Mike, "walk up
with a confident, chesty look, ns If you ex
pected to murder tho first ono in reach. Tho
mlnuto tho pitcher sees a man loaf up with
his pep gone, tho pitcher's confidence In
creases. Ho doesn't llko to see n fellow
como tip with tho old basehlt look In his
eye. When Harry McOormick started up to
bat his wholo attitude seemed to bo 'IT.
bet that guy's nerous out there.' It nover
occurred to McCormlek to bo nervous. A
disheartened batsman or a disheartened
team encourages tho other club to play far
better ball. Many a pitcher has looked good
becauso tho batter quit first barely beat
ing tho pitcher to It."
A Noncombatant Opines
Dear Sir I havo no objection to Benny
Leonard not enlisting. That part of It Is up
to Benny. What I and many others do object
to Is all tho press agentlng and advertislnir
ltcnny got when It was dcclaiod day after
day that ho was to enlist at onco. To use
patriotism as a part of nn advertising
f-chemo for prizefighters Is another matter.
If Leonard had no Intention of enlisting
