Mack, Ihperturable
Faces the Season Calmly

No manager in the American League Is
less disturbed by the necessity of MAX
ing changes than Connie" Mack OF the
Athletics. The fortune OF base ball war
time and again has used him harsh!y.
but never has disturbed his equanimity.
When he lost Lajoie he set about the re-
construction OF his infield as If he had
forgotten that Lajoie existed He num-
bered among his players one whom many
have considered the greatest left-hand
pitcher in the world-eccentric almost un-
controllable, II Is true-a pitcher whose
good work had brought cha mpionShips to
Philadelphia: yet when he felt it for the
good of his team he did not hesitate to
sell the release of Waddell to ST. Louis.
Some managers would have hung TO Wad
dell until the pitcher was aged not for
the reason that he might win for them.
but that they would be afraid TO permit
him to go for fear that he would win for
some other manager.
Mack is one OF the very few American
League managers who is so we'll satisfied
with the strength OF his team that he en-
tiers upon the campaign of 1908 with prac-
tically the same nine which he had last
year. His infield is Davis, Murphy. Mich
OILS and Collins It Is true that he let
Monte Cross go. but the splendid work of
Nichols in 1907 warranted the release OF
the veteran. Cross. il the manager felt
that he could spare him
His o,ufield is the same as last year
Nothing very wonderful about 1t. but
good II has been tried and has passed
through thsAfre without being scofched.

St. Louis Is Another of the
Much Made Over" Teams

At ST Louis there Is another wholesale
shake-up. due to the fact that McAleer
mas been urged to get new talent and
great deal Of it, His team Is wholly
problematical. There is a great mixture
of men from many teams, and it will be
a task to get them to play ball under one
system. The infeld will be quite new.
With Jones at first. 1t Is probable that
Williams will play second. Wallace short
stop and Ferris third base. Here 1s tai
ent. but the question Is whether 1t 1s
talent which will assirilate, or whether
1T is talent which has seen its best and
NAV never repeat the work of the past.
The outfield is composed of men who are
fast. one of them very strong with the
bat and two Of them merely clever Hoff
man. who was taken from New York. is
fine outfielder. but he never will be q
wonderful batter again unless he is cured
of his timidity.
Behind the bat there are some good
catchers but not all of them are men who
are easy to handle. and McAleer will be
at his wits end to keep them up to the
mark. All the pitchers, with little excep-
ton, verge upon the class of older men.
If all of them fail to come UP to expec-
tations ST. Louis will have hard fight on
its hands from the moment that the race
begins.
Many of his pitchers are seasoned and
know the batters of the American League
thoroughly Waddell may take notion
into his Uranium to behave and pitch up to
his best If he does. ST. Louis Will not be
easy to beat when he IS In the box.
There is not club in all the American
League where a manager Is confronted
with harder task to shape a success IS, Va !.
base ball nine than in st. Louis. Not that
there are no ball players there. but the
problem is to make them play ball from
whining standpoint

Cleveland the Team That
Always Is Guess Shop

And now comes the Cleveland club.
What shall be said for that? Is it at the
start to be a shining light as of old,
Pickering at the finish with the incOnstan-
cy of a talow dip?
What IS there TO depend upon that is
different from last year. the year be
fore? 1t is true that Cleveland has had
more or less trouble in vital moments by
injuries to players, and there is nothing
which takes the fight cut of team
quicker but with all that 1t is also true
that Cleveland has been weak at first
base for some time, and thai position has
given the owners of the club not little
worry.
1t is asserted by Mr.. Scmers that he be-
lieves Cleveland to have d better pitching
force this year than last. The addition OF
Berger is thought to have strengthened
the team, for Berger. according to the
Cleveland owner. is just at his bsst and
the nine Will De greatly aided 10y his Serv-
ices. With Joss, Rhodes, Hess, Lebhart,
Clarkson and some young blood. it is
hoped that Cleveland will make d better
showing in the box.
First base IS not settled, nor will it be
until almost the last moment. if thA de-
termination of the owners of the club
holds good. Lajoie of course, will play
second. Turner ShOrtstOp and Bradley
third and the infield therefore will vary
but little from what it has been in the
past. except the possibility of change at
first.
Behind the bat Cleveland seems to be
well provided for. Clarke is an energetic
fellow, with g magnetic manner of get
ting at his work which is help to the
team. Bemis has had much experience
in the American League, and while at
times he may seem bit SLOW he is al
ways steady and reliable. Davidson is A
new player found in Cleveland, concern
ing whom there are many favorable ex-
presSions of opinion.
The outlield will very likely be much
the same as last year. The one desider-
alum at Cleveland is to keep the nine in
tact Throughout the year. and In addition
to that to develop little finer system of
team work than has always been in evil
denCe On the part of the players. There
has never been that close application to
making runs which counts in these days.
when SO many base ball victories hinge on
a single tally.

Chicago. the Team With
The New and Good Infeld

Chicago seems 10 have been strength
ened. not so much by 4 wholesale addition
of new players as by a Encouragement Of
the infield. Much depends upon the work
OF Parent. If he plays ball at short as he
was wont to play with Boston the Chi
cago nfield will perhaps be the fastest
conformity in the American League. Don
ohue, Davis, Parent and Tannehill are
remark bly, fast quartet. Davis is AS like
y to become a star second baseman as
ne has been star at third and shortstop.
He is a natural infielder. and takes to the
various positions of the diamond as if he
had been accustomed to play all of them.
The outfield will be much the same as
1t was last year. There is little probable
ity that new man will take the place of
either Hahn or Dougherty. There are
some young pitchers on the team, but
they have yet to win their spurs. McFar-
land has been released to Boston. but Chi
cago will suffer little, for Sullivan has
done the bulk of the catching when In
condition To do 50.
Chicago is dangerous factor in the
race and always will be so long AS Com
skey is in control Of the team to make
it play ball after his ideas.

Nationals Much Stronger
Than They Were in 1907

In place of Mr.. Fosters estimate of the
Nationals. which. of course. was made at
long range, The Star will substitute that
of its correspondent at Galveston, Mr.
Nolan. who wrote recently regarding the
work of the players:
Joe Cantillon has such an almighty
good lot of men under his wing that the
Nationals are bound to cut much better
than they did in the last struggle. The
new team averages better in youth, intel
likence and aggressveness.
Where Chief Joe will be bothered most
is with the outfielders. Ganley and ely
mer are, Of course. fixtures, and Ollie
Pickering has played such consistently
good ball that he ought to be assured Of
retention in the middle garden Pick
is fast and works we'll between the men
on each side of him. 1t Is certainty
that Milan will be kept. though he may
have to do the utility outfield stunt The
infield will be Freeman on first. Dele

and Mcbride stationed at short. Freeman
is big fellow-a fine mark to throw to-
and puts up sharp game at first If he
mas any weakness in playing the bag 1t
hasn't shown so far. He has sound
whip and will be mixed up in many
double plays where the third baseman is
the receiving end. Freeman can hit all
right, and hit hard. too Strikeouts are
infrequent with him. and he drives the
ball so far that even when he. is caught
out in the field runner can easily score
from third. The giant thunders down to
first like runaway touring car. and il
there is any possibility of hts beating out
an infield tap he will! always slide into

Wadde11 Does Not Worry

Most professional base ball PLAYER are
given to worrying. If they fail 10 make
a hit in game. or happen to ball
get by them, they will sit an worry
themselves almost into a fever If they
are wee bit off in their batting or field
ing and the manager. believing that con-
tinuous work has caused the.h tn get Il
little stale. desisaates a utility man to
go in and take tie players place for a
day or so. the man whose place has been
taken will lose sleep worrying about the
probability of being supplanted.
There are some players who do not let
anything interfere with their joy of eX
istence but this breed is scarce and
when found ii is generally of the BUM
sky sort. for if player hasn't the game
at heart he certainly cannot become
top notcher.
A rare exception of the nom worrying
sort, and also an exception to the bum
sky class. is the eTervescent pitcher Mr-
RUDE Waddel Nothing under the sun
seems to disturb the placidity of thiS
still great pitcher.
George Edward, has had enough To
cause him to fret. but If there ever WAS
an unsconscious philosopher that person
is Waddell.
During all the talk that resulted from
the wholly unexpected move on the part
of Connie Mack In letting the big twlrier
go to ST. Louis, RUDE wherever he vert
was the center OF attraction. and more
questions We're shot at him in ONE day
than he would be able 10 answer In IL
year. for the RUDE is not a lightning spiel
artist when it comes to repartee.
The day that George Edward arrived n
ST Louis he was met al the station by
Hedges, the secretary and treasurer OF
the ST Louis club. With him was Jack
Powell the big pitcher.
When George Edward alighted he WAS
Immediately -holed by couple or
newspaper men. When they had finished
Hedgess remarked. Il should think,
Waddell that all this cross questioning
would worry you quite bit.
But it don't" cheerfuDy If INGRAM

and never have anything on my mind.
You never have anything on your
mind?' echoed Powell, who is a regular
Scotchman when it comes to worrying.
.'Nothin 'cept my hat, shot back the
Merry Waddell as he made a playful
kick at a passing dog.
