THE new men who have cast tlielr let with the Athletics nml tin Phillies
this season were efflelnlly rerelved nnd handed n real welcome by l.'.OOO
fans at Shlbe l'nrk en Saturday. Ne tnntter whnt tinlfntm he were, the
Rthlcte received applause from the non-partisan crowd and miide te feel thnt
Phllndelphln wns net such n bed place te play ball In nfter nil.
. Cennie Mack sprang three new ones In Utng Miller, who enme here In
the Dttgnn deal: McOewnn, of Jersey City, nnd Hntiser, kid first baseman
from Milwaukee, Wis.
The Vhlln liad Leslie, new Initial cacker from New Orleans; Curtis
Valker, who was laid tip me-t of last season, and the great nnd only Arthur
Fletcher, who was back nfter n cnr In retirement. The Rind hand was dis
tributed impartially by these who took the nftcrnoen te wit liens the unusual
pectnrle of a Philadelphia club winning a ball panic.
The new men looked geed. Leslie handled himself like an experienced
first baseman nnd leeks like a fixture there. Curtis Walker is n peppery out
fielder, who covers lets of ground, ban a geed arm and is especially strong en
around bnlls, Fletcher hasn't gene back any; in fact, he pulled some plans
that few shortstops would hae attempted.
' On the A's, Hauser has the earmarks of a star He gees after every
thing and constantly Is trjing. At but, he socked a lenj; triple te the score score
heard nnd connected with 11 single. Hln0 Miller, in addition te pla.xlng a
swell game in left field, did a let of hitting. He drove In two runs with a
single in the third, hit a swift liner which bounced out of I.elmuri can's hands
in the seventh nnd In the eighth lifted the ball into the left Held stands,
aoering Welsh ahead of him.
McOnwau should make geed. He ran field, bit and run, te say nothing
of having n geed throwing arm. Cennie will have n hard time In keeping him
Out of the line-up, eicn with Witt and Tilly Walker en the job.
tiOTU cuftt looked geed, but the A' seemed te be e. trifle letter be
O enme they iron. They made fifteen hits during the afternoon,
against file for the Phih.
Phil Pitchers Receive Harsh Treatment
THE Mill pitchers did net have tin easy time of It. Hubbell breezed along
easily for two innings, but the Marks get wise te his offerings in the
third nnd made It pessibli! for him te take an cnrl, shower-bath. Winters
also was mnnhnndled nnd lietts suffered severe punishment The A's were
ecklng the pill with zest nnd fervor, nnd it is hoped they will keep it up.
Hellle Nnyler allowed only one hit In four Innings, but in the fifth he
became wild, handed out a pass, hit a batsman nnd before the frame was
ver two runs had crossed the plate. Sullivan, who succeeded him, allowed
the ether two hits.
Cennie still is experimenting with his Infield. At first It was thought
that he would use Dykes en third nnd Scheer en second, but just before game
time he switched Jimmy te his old place and inserted Frank Itr.izlll en third.
Brazil! gnve a creditable performance. He get by without an error, made
aeme geed steps and his throwing was net se bad.
At bat he emulated the Illustrious Hnmbine Ruth in the sixth inning.
Winters tleated one up and Hruzlll knocked It ever the fence in right center.
It was n long wallop nnd the feat will net be duplicated mere than u couple
of times during the season by any one outside of Until. Hrnzlll Is n geed man
te have en a ball club. He hits well and can play any Infield position. It
would net be at all surprising if Cennie kept him en the het corner In the
opening game.
"Wc bnd a great trip North nnd wen a let of ball games," said Wilhelm
before the game, "but we didn't see any geed pitching. Defensivelj we are all
light, hut we need a game like this te sharpen our batting ejes. The team
leeks better than last jenr and 1 believe we will de a let of hitting."
Klze wns correct, as later developments proved. The National l.enguers
did net shine with the willow, but they had lets of pep in the field and con
ducted themselves like a major league ball club.
'THE A's trill play Camp )ix today and the Phih inll take n fait out
ej f the University of I'rnniytvanta. Outside of that, they trill have
nothing te de. The A's lenrc iomeiroir for Bosten for the opening
game en Wednesday.
Fans Ready te Support Winning Team
PHILADELPHIA still stands out as one of the bet baseball towns in the
country. The fans are eager and anxious te see a geed team In this city,
and as seen as the A's or the Phils step out as a pennant contender thnt dub
will get most of the patronage. If we could get the brand of baseball plnyetf
here prier te 11(15 the club owners would gt wealthy.
Fer example, take the crowd en Saturday. 'Nobody expected te see
15,000 in the park. Jehn Shine didn't think se and did net even have special
police en hand te keep the crowd in order. A gathering of about -100(1 was
the most optimistic guess.
The bleachers seen were crowded nnd the spectators steed in deep i enter
flald. This is the second time this has been done since the l!U season and
It will happen many times in the future if the Athletics win some gumes
e matter whnt happened in the past, Philadelphia Is ready te support a
winning ball club, and the owners can renp in large returns If thev invest
aeme money in real ball players.
BOSTON furnishes a geed example. Beth the Red Set and the
M Braves were deicn in the rare and the Bravri finally get together
a geed team. A'eic Geerge Washington Grant is erd'enng lamer
rubber bands for hit bankroll.
Beth Teams Looked Geed in Saturday's Gamp
rjTHE ball game en Saturday was net se bad. despite the lopsided seme.
J. Beth teams excelled en the defense and the only weakness was In the
pitching. Hubbell is n regular, but Winters nnd lietts arc reserve men Lee
Meadows nnd Jimmy Ring are the best en Hie roster of the Phils and had
they been In there the score might have been closer.
However, Cennie Mnck didn't use any of his stars te deceive the n
tfcwial Leaguers. Ed Kemmel. Bryan Harris nnd Heb Hast were en the
banch, and Rellle Naylor nnd Sullhnn did the flinging.
TOir that it is all ever and the ihampien cighth-plavr club deter.
If mined, many of the expert still rentenJ that the I'hih nnd the
.a arc eener man last year ana
race. Jlert s hoping the expert arc rwht.
