THOMAS PROVED SURPRISE
OF The WORLDS SERIES

Chicago, Nov. Ira Thomas, the
Athletics big catcher. who has sur
prised critics by more than offsetting
the great John Killing of the Cubs in
the worlds series. can attribute his
success entirely to Connie aMck.
In fact, Thomas said year ago that
he never knew the really fine points OF
backstopping until he began to receive
instructions from Mack.
Thomas was first noticed as a
catcher when he was with the Provi-
dence Eastern league team about five
years ago. He was purchased from
Providence by the New York Ameri-
can lague club. but his work didn't
suit Clark Glinith who sold him to
Detroit.
Hugh Jennings tried Thomas for a
while but finally decided TO let him go
to the Athletics more than year ago.
Mack, IL would appear, saw undevel-
oped skill in Thomas that was hidden
from Griffith and Jennings. for the
Athletics manager soon had the big
catcher going at fine clip. While on
the hospital list with a split finger.
Thomas said:
I Connie Mack is n wizard. He has
made a new catcher out of me, and ]
4 know things now | never heard of be-
fore. That's the secret of his success.
He can correct the faults of any
player | expect to develop into his
best catcher before another year"
/ Thomas. it appears, was held in re-
serve for the worlds series. Mack
used Livingston and Lapp so much
during the American league season
that II was n generally accepted fact
that one or the other would do all
the catching i'm the worlds series.
That was why the critics couldn't
make themselves believe the Cubs,
with King and Archer, would be out
classed behind the bat. They evil
IDENTIFY forgot all about the powerfully
built New Englander, who cut down
the Cub base runners and handled
Bender and Coombs in superb fashion.
In Thomas Mack sprung a star
catcher--a heady, nervy, quick witted
/ worker, who has been an important
factor in the triumph of the Athletics.
Furthermore, Mack has proved that
the Athletics. apparently are without
weak spot. His great team can hit
the ball, field. run bases and display
every angle of inside ball" Invinc-
ible in batteries, the Athletics there
| fore have outclassed the Cubs.
It's an old saying that a team with
/ good pitchers. catchers and a second
baseman should come very near win
ming a pennant Mack's team meets
all these requirements.

HOFFMAN SAYS DONOVAN Is
LEAGUES BEST IWIHlFR

Artie Hoffman, center fielder for the
Chicago Cubs. and the best all-around
player on the Chicago team. has writ
ten an article on why the Cubs lost
the world series. from a Chicago view
point. He recalls the pitching of Bill
Donovan i'm the two series between
the Tigers and Cubs and says that in
either of them Donovan pitched bet
ter ball than CoOmbs or Bender pitch
ed in the series that closed Sunday.
Here's Artie's article:
Browns two defeats were much the
same as those Of wild Bill Donovan
in the Cub-Hig world series Of 1907
and 1908. Donovan pitched better ball
against Chicago In those two series
than Bender or Coombs did this year.
hut Donovan, like Brown was worn
down by a grueling pennant race. He
lacked staying power for the last cru
cial battles
His 3 to 3 10-inning tie game with
us i'm the first game i'm 1907 was one Of
the greatest games ever pitched. II
was greater than the records show.
Only the Chicago batters know what
Donovan did that day. Again i'm 1908
he pitched wonderful game. We did
not make a foul off him in seven in
nings He weakened then and we
beat him. Had not Donovan been
worked out winning the pennant the
Tigers would have given the Cubs
great battles each year.
Either of DOnovans two great
games against us was better than Ben
der's best game or any of Coombs'
three games. In my judgment Donovan
and George Mullin, of the Tigers are
better than either Of the Athletics star
| hurlers.

WARMED BENCH TWO YEARS.
Eddie Collins Was Made Valuable
Player by Connie Mack.

New, York, Nov. 1.--Because young
players nowadays do not get many OPP
portunities TO play during several sea
sons is no evidence that their career in
the big leagues is to be short or that
eventually they will not become stars
The best baseball managers of the
present have adopted the plan of hold
ing on To the most promising young
sters they have and keeping them on
the bench until they imbibe just what
big league baseball is, so that when
they are sent out" to show they have
i'm their minds just the style of game
they are expected TO play
The most noticeable player Of the
kind is Eddie Collins. the second base
man of the Philadelphia Athletics. who
is now considered n real star I'm his
position and who has been the sensa-
ton of the American league both last
year and this.
Any youngster who in his first year
as n regular can make such n crack as
Ty Cobb hustle to beat him out i'm both
batting and baserunning must be n
wonder. Well. this is just what the
young Columbia college boy has done.
Connie Mack manager of the Athlet-
lies, kept Collins on the bench for
parts of two years before he "cut him
loose"

COACHES TEACH
old STYLE GAME
MOST OF BIG TEAMS ARE DE-
PENDING LARGELY ON OLD
STYLE FOOTBALL FOR
BIG GAINS.

II does not seem strange 10 those
who have followed this seasons foot
ball games that the football officials
have not noticed all the violations Of
the new rules, says the New York
Times The rules are as new 10 the
officials as they are 10 the players and
the coaches. Complaint has been heard
from more than one source that the
coaches Of this years elevens have
not laid much stress on the new rules
ana have instilled the old system of
football into the players before at
tempting TO work out the possibilities
of the new play. In the last games of
the season, when the officials are more
familiar with the rules, II is likely that
some of the teams will suffer severely
IL they continue old gridiron tactics.
The coaches are the foxiest members
of the football family and more Of
them has given up all his time teach
ing new football at the expense of the
old gridiron principles. Capt Palmer Il.
Pierce, President Of the intercollegiate
Athletic Association. stated recently
that at several Of the colleges il ap-
peared that the coaches have not been
giving the new rules as fair a trial as
they deserve. While many of the bat
ties thus far have been more open
than before, IT does not seem to the
men who framed the new code that
the coaches are making the most Of
the opportunities for a diversified sys-
tenn OF play that the new rules offer.
Several of the big elevens have
stuck pretty close as close as they
possibly can, TO old football. They have
been backward about taking a long
chance with some of the new plays.
The forward pass and the onside kick
have not yet been developed into as
popular or skillful a means Of advanc-
ing the ball as the football Doctors
planned 10 have it.
Much blame for violation of the new
rules has been placed on the officials.
but from many quarters is heard com
plant about the old habit OF pulling,
pushing, and dragging Of players be-
! ing TOLERATED by officials The duties
of the officials have been vastly in
creased this season. and IL is almost
impossible for them to catch every
breach of the code OF rules. In an in
stance where a team still sticks 10 the
old-fashioned game there are bound
to be some violations slip by unnotic-
ed. In some cases this season. where
officials have been particular about in
flicting penalties they have brought
the wrath of the coaches upon their
heads instead of encouragement.

GARRY HERMANN Is WISE
TO MAJOR LEAGUE DtALS

Inasmuch as the Same folks own
the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia
Nationals here's probably what hap
pened i'm the trade of Phillies with
Cincinnati that Pres. Horace Fogel
blocked says the Detroit Times.
Fogel, in all likelihood. talked mat
ters over with Garry Hermann, Man
ager Doom and Manager Griffith, tell
ing Doom anything he did would be
satisfactory. Then Doom and Grit
fifth got together, along with Herr
mann, all three being at the worlds
series games i'm Chicago.
The trade was announced. The Cubs
blew up and no doubt Charley Murphy
head of the Cubs. told Horace Fogel,
head of the Phillies, that the Cubs
wanted some of the Phillies involved.
All hands belonging to the same own
ors you can see how Fogcl would
back up.
Then Fogel told Doom it was III off
and DOOM having been double-crossed
got sore and threatened to quit. Like
wise, Hermann, whose knowledge Of
baseball law is keen, stirred up row
and insisted that the deal go through.
Hermann is too wise an owl ever to
base n claim on the mere say-so of
the manager unless that manager had
been authorized to deal.
If Hermann can produce a witness
who beard Fogel tell Doom TO go
ahead, the fine handmade scheme of
the syndicate owners will be knocked
higher than kite.
In the meantime, just pin your faith
on this: If Hermann says he has the
long end of il, Fogel, Murphy ct al.
likely are due to awake and the deal
will happen as Doom said IT would.
