IRA THOMAS LAUDS
c. MACK'S TACTICS
Veteran Catcher Gives Idea
of Why Athletics Man
ager Gets Results.

Ira Thomas has this TO say about
Manager Mack's methods of handling
his players:
The Athletics will come very near
winning the American League pennant.
Connie Mack is the best manager in the
business, and he has built up great
ball team from young and inexperienced
material.
There isn't a star on the team, yet
the game is played by the Athletics
with wonderful precision. Mack has a
way Of getting the work out of RS men
that is peculiarly his own.
He never censures a player for MAX
ing errors. On the contrary, he says
that when a man commits q fielding
blunder it shows that he is trying to do
his best. Early this year when the
team was going badly AID defeats were
numerous. Mack never lost faith. In his
daily chats with the players he kept on
saying:
"T know I've got a good ball team
here, and the only one we have to beat
is Detroit. You can whip all the other
teams as soon as you get into the proper
stride. Just keep on trying. You may
be licked IN tOday's game. but never
mind. Also, do not worry If you lose
again tomorrow, for as soon as you
strike the proper gait you'n go to the
top rapidly
''This sort Of encourag cement worked
wonders with the Athletics, and they
soon began to climb. tTrue to Mack's
prediction, we have only the Detroits to
beat for the pennant, though we are go
ing TO have a terrific fight all along the
line.
Mack has figured it out that, as the
Detroits finish the season away from
home this year. they win be seriously
handicapped, but at the same time he
says he viii have plenty Of trouble with
these Highlanders and the Boston Red
SOx. both Of whoa are rounding into
dang erOusly good NEm. It's going 10
be a grueling race tofhe wire, and just
keep your eyes on Mack's hustling
team

GRIT GIVES ADVICE
On TREATING BATS
Says Willows Should Be
Rubbed With Fresh
Plug Tobacco.

Baseball players take almost as much
care Of their pet bats as a mother does
OF her children. They generally have
special places to keep them and the or
binary citizen would think that the bats
were living things If they could see how
they are fOndied and nurseG. by the
braWny fellows. who depend Upon them
TO certain extent to make their living
All OF the players soak their bats
thoroughly in preparations OF oils and
many paint them Blaine always paints
the end Of his pet bat blue. He prefers
blue, as he once had a bat painted blue
which proved TO be a great hitting stick
Clark Griffith has advised his PLAYERS
- rub their bats down with fresh plug
tobacco. "A bat treated in that man
ner never splits.'' said Griff. coz course,
any bat is liable to crack, but the tobac-
co-treated kind viii always present a
smooth surface. The players made a
concerted rush for the nearest tobacco
shop after they received this Informal
