H ViTtnn9 in rnmn to tin Rtirfnrp. 4 Looking oter the line-up and then glancing orer the standing of the clubs makes one feel tbnt n big mistake has been made, for the local team is entirely too good to be immersed in the ccllnr. Yesterday, however, the truth came out. The A's arc lost in the dismal awamp not because of the things they do on the bail field, but because of the things the don't do. They hate been taught high-class, scientific baseball by Connie Mack, but it seems that the bojs hate flunked in their lessons. They don't think quickly, they often forget to lover a base, step in and take a vthrow from the outfield, back up third or the catcher and dozens of other things. that bait players should do Unconsciously. ' That waj the reason for the los-s of the morning game and almost ruined the chances to win the seiotid.. No wouder Connie wears a worried look. It must.be tough for the brainy pilot to sit on the bench and watch his hired men mulate a gang of sand -totters on an off day. ' R 'c ome"'ott'n boys came from behind, put on a regular slam ' 'ming ninth-inning rally, tied the score and came-back tit the tenth ' stronger than ever. They could have scored half a dozen runs, but one teas enough and the to. 000 spectators irerc'sattsfied. They cared nothing about the three men who icerc stranded on the bags tehen the i winning marker meandered homeward. Mackmcn Waste Many Chances IT'VERTTHING went against the A's in the afternoon. I'ennock was pitch- ' -" inr nd base hits began to fly thick and fast. The locals should have cored a couple of dozen runs, but the fates were against them. For example, take the first three innings. Each time the first man up got a hit, the next man failed to sacrifice and three double plays killed all chance's for a score. In the fourth two doubles in a row failed to produce a single score, because - Shannon, who hit the first one, tried to stretch it into a triple and was tagged because he went into the bag straight up instead of sliding. In the fifth a ingle and a triple produced nothing because another of those double plays gummed the works. "" , It was the most unlucky bunch of baseball ever seen and the fans could hardly believe it when a run finally was scored. To score that tally it re- i quired six innings of hard baseball and nine hits. That certainly is a waste of bingles. Fifteen hits were necessary to score four runs, which shows that jou never ean te)l the score by studying the hit column. The four double plays in five rr4tf .Innings, however, were the cause of it all.

For the benefit of those who left early, allow us to state ) that Bobby Roth, who has recovered his batting eje, opened with a triple and f scored on Burns,'s single. Dugan doubled, sending Ocorge to third, and Pen ; nock was erased from the scenario. Dumont went in and was greeted with a jNjueezc play which scored Burns, and with a man on third and two out, Per kins fanned. But the tenth was wonderful to behold. Some one mislaid the home plate and Dumont walked the first two men. Roth beat out a bunt and the bases wert. clogged. Big Bill James was called to the peak and told to stop the Tally. Big Bill, however, developed a wild streak like his namesake, Jesse, and hit Burns inthe ribs, forcing home the winulng tally. ALTHOUGH James teas wild in that tuning, he teas not one-half as tcild as Ed Barroic, the silent manager of the lied Sox. Now Claim Ruth's homer Was Record One BABE RUTH covered himself with glory in the two performances, getting two singles, two doubles and a homer. His circuit clout, which was saved for the afternoon, was one of the longest whacks ever seen. It not only cleared the right field fence, but also sailed to the top of a house on Twentieth 'treet, hit the roof, bounced off and probably is going yet. It was in the eighth inning that wallop occurred. Strunk was on first Stjad Perry was keeping them away from Ruth's bat. Two strikes had been IJSL (Called and Scott shot a curve in the inside. Babe stepped back, put every rra. ' . ..... ... 1. ........ .. ounce, or sirengm in tno.se miguiy snouiaers neninu tnc blow and he met the ball fairly. There was a crack when it struck the bat and away it sailed in ' the direction of right field. Bobby Roth took two'ileps and stopped. Turning his back on the dia mond, be watched the ball travel over the fence, strike the house and dis appear forever. A guy in an airplane couldn't have caught it. That wallop has, started a. discussion, for many believe it Is the longest hit ever made at Shlbc Park. However, until some one uses a tape measure, gels the exact distance and then compares it with the homer hit by George Burns least year when he sent the ball OVER the left field bleacher wall the argument never will be settled. ' Scott Perry had another, unlucky day and once more departed without - winning the game. The big pitcher worked his h,pad off for eight innings, ' .fielded bis position perfectly, kept the hits scattered, but was removed in the ninth to allow Kinney to hit. The score was even then and in the tenth 'the wlnntnir mnrki-r nmo. in. At that. Scott dcRerres lots nf.fr.r.lf fr...

Yesterday afternoon he. got two singles, a double and a triple out of 'X, five fimes up, apd hit to rigfit field which is pretty good for a right-handed batter. nORBY note u an important cog in the Mack machine and it is safe to satf that Connie never iclll'trade him. Roth is here to stay, Thomas Plays.an Improved Game ,HB moBt pleasing feature of tbe day a work was the showing of Fred Thomas,. Connie's new third-sacker Fred has been fielding well and Sti&yed as good a defepsive game, as any player in the league, but his hitting ' j tiwful.

Apparently it is something that requires nclthcr.skill,. courage, strength, speed nor any of 'the other leading ingredients ?of play." It. happens to require something that is even harder and that is. thorough 'control of your nervous system, a thorough grip upon your subconscious impulses. And there arc times when the harder you try tbe quicker your head pops , up. And the most harassing part of it all is that the more you arc off your gome, the more uncertain you are, the surer your well-known bean is des tined to pop up. ' . Babc Ruth'sRasping Spring P.TE is a-ficklcjadc. Late ln?March arid early in April the eminent Babe Ituth was peeling the cover off the ball', romping along at n merry clip. He was a hcadliner of sup'er-heroic mold. Ho steps to the bat in the first game of the year and 'tears off a home run, advnnce announcement of hit triumphant rush. , Add then something happens. Another month goes by before the massive Babe can collect another home run, and in that lean and lank period he has a rasping .time of it, absorbing a batting average around -.200. The Babo, has .either fallen heir to one of those'spring slumps or he is facing far different. pitching, from the brand that helped to make him famous last year. Astowhlch'U'is, you can make your own guess. y" ' BVT.if the Babe is to settle down in ,300 society again, it is high time he was making a fetbi quick starts, And'Otliers THE renowed Babe isn't the only one floundering along back of the column. Frank Baker 'has discovered that toying with the succulent cabbage and, sparring with tbe young tomato is no way to develop or train a batting eye. BAKER has been struggling below .250 nearly all spring and nothing VLsh'ort of an upheaval will ever get him back in the ,300 class again. ' Back From France rpHEIB have been n .vast number of words used so far in figuring how active J- seryico in .France affected tbe. ballplayer. The season -is ytt too. soon to offer, any certain proof. Alexander returns to dropbls' first four, games, being hammered twice from the crest of the platea'ti." . , And then ShcrrodSmith comes along withfa three-hit shut-out. . fADOItEhas been in and out, while Hank Ootedy.has just started, V Within another.-month it will be easier to tell. . - ' SPEAKING of trench ' warfare, Connie. Mack dug himself in around 1015 ""' and nojonc has beentable to dislodge him yet. It begins to look once more that nothlng'but a blasting ever will dislocate the AthlcticStclluug.

But a few days ago when JLtbc New York Yanks compiled thirteen hits for sixteen bases and only obtajned'one run, they were overdoing the old adage by a few leaps. AN EARLY summer prognostication, the same being a cross section of 'the pastoral dope," would indipatc that at least one section of the next world scries would be lodged ..in Chicago., Cook, county, paving developed the1 habit in 1017, doesn't desire'to stop it too abruptly. CUBS, and lied Sox, picked as pennant favorites back in April, spend the bulk of June at home. The next thirty days will tell whether or not the, lpl8 jubilee was another "e'est la guerre" splash.

A YEAH ago today Mr. Ludendorff, after a .long drive, was just in the, act of topping Ian. approach to 'Paris. He lifted his head and plucked th aforesaid approach hito' 'the murky waters of the Marne. F3B, three years Alexander hadthe record of winning thirty or more games.
