fall on the Cys-Morgan and COMBS
Their record has been a splendid tribute
to the strength OF that twirling stan.
For two weeks the burden has fallen
upon their shoulders, and look at the
manner in which they have performed.
And the first of the season none of the
experts were wont TO mention Cy and
Jack as being two stellar members Of the
corps.
Good old Mig cuppy. that little pitcher
with the taptaIizing delivery. who used
to divide honors with Cy Young On the
old Cleveland team, loves to tell this
story on Patsy Tebeau, his old manager:
IT was getting an awful hammering IN
a Sunday game In Chicago, when Man
and talked 70 me. The crowd yelled its
disapprovai
Don't show up your pitcherr Give
Cuppy a little support Why don't some
OF you fellows batT Don't take out
your spite on Cuppy. were few OF
the things~the fans said TO Patsy.
do you know what Tebeau said 70 ma7
He said: Go on. Cup; let's set up a
worlds record to-day. They've already
made twenty hits off you. Let's sea #
they can make fifty. Go on and pitch
out the game. I wouldn't take you
out now If they made 100 hits and ninety
runs.
you can see by this how little the fans
understand what Is really going on out
On the diamond"
Henry Edwards. OF the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, says:
so Connie Mack pays $1,000 for Pitch
er Russell Of the Baltimore club
Acquaintance of the astate manager Of
the Athletics are from Missouri, how
ever. If Connie Mack ever paid Sc
for any player, he must be addicted q,
sleep walking. or has changed his sys-
TEN most radically.
Heretofore Connie has been content
TO get his players very cheapIy and de-
veIop them himself. Plank. Bender.
COMBS Collins. Barry, and Krause did
not cost him cent. He got Morgan N
trade for Schiller. and the latter was
a cheap purchase. Harry Davis came 10
him with the franchise, as did 'sTopsv''
Hartsel, Danny Murphy may have cost
him few hundred. and Baker. Oldring.
Atkins. Dygert. and Heitmuller cost him
few thousand apiece. but it IS doubtful
II all the men on the Philadelphia pay
rel cost Mack much ever s1z0OO at the

nings, manager Of the Detroit Tigers,
that the Boston Red sox viii uose the
Athletics out Of the American League
pennant, 1t Is only necessary to recall
the forecast of Mr.. Jennings in the spring
that the Athletics would finish in fourth
pisce1and that the Tigers would be in first
place by July /, and never let GO Let
us call attention to the standings OF the
teams The Tigers are not In first place
and the Athletics are not in fourth. The
Athletics are leading the league by a
wide margin, and the Tigers are beccm-
ing about the softest batting average
booster in the league. Considering the
two statements OF the ruby rooted man
ager of the Tigers. Philadelphia fans
may reason that Hughey has erred again;
yes, again.
Jesse TannehiiI, OF the Minneapolis
club. left the team there the other day.
According to the contract he had with
the Minneapolis club owners, he could
leave whenever he desired. Jesse figures
that he is not worth his salary to his
club. being unable 30 work often enough.
He is seeking a managerial berth with
some minor league team.
Several years ago Jesse helped the
Boston Red Sox win the pennant in the
American League, and subsequently the
worlds championship from Pittsburg.
Some time after that his arm went back
on him and he was turned over TO the
Nationals, who in turn sent him to the
Minneapolis club, where he has been for
almost season. Tannehill was one OF
the best left-handers in the country
when in his prime.
Elmer Stricklett wishes to come back
to the fold. He is tired OF bush league
ball. and. remembering his happy days
with the Brooklyn club. has signified his
desire to return 20 fast company.
