In order to win a major league pen
nant a club must have a good, strong
pitching corps and at least two first
class catchers. The same applies to
any other pennant race. Further, the
pitchers must be of different styles. l
would not try to win with all right
handlers, or with seven curve ball
pitchers.
The other players of the team must
be fast, speedy, aggressive young
players. I am great believer In
youthful players, although knowing
well that no pennant ever has been
won by any such club, 1t is a false
idea, and the only reason no club ever
won with young players Is due to the
fact that only few ever have tried.
I want aggressive hustling men, who
can hit bit above the average and
above all who are not afraid to take
q chance

theories about speed, and when Sc

idea before the season ended, and if
the team had possessed the other
requisites of winning club we would
have landed the American league pen.

Temperance in everything is an alb
solute necessity. I do not mean that
players must necessarily be total alb.
stainers, although that would be best.
I want men who are temperate in eat
ing and in drinking, and would rather
have them temperate in eating than in
drinking If forced to choose between
two evils. When I was scouting in
minor leagues for players-young
players-1 always invited them to eat
with me and watched their eating be-

want to say, too, that the period Of

of waiting for signals instead of think

when situation arises that requires

pitched to certain batters, studied the
batters as they came along, and BY
watching how different pitchers
pitched to them began to learn
things. Every time a pitcher came

Arthur Bugs" Raymond, the New

the Giants. He packed up his per-
sonal property the other day and de-
parted, making the following explana-
ton: II am no paresis patient and
don't need keeper. If can't play
baseball I can make living at my

pretty closely to keep him on the wa

took the action he did as q result.

PITTSBURG AND Pt1IL.ADEI Pf1IA LEAD
AS FIRST MONTH OF SEASON ENDS
COME SURPRISES FEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE q" TOLD
YOU MAN-DETRoIT TIGERS AND THE CHICAGO
CUBS OFF BADLY.

MYTH one month Of the season gone
by in big league baseball circles
the fans have been furnished VIII
plenty Of food for comment.
There have been some surprises anu
o few opportunities for the man VINO
Is fond of saying Il told you so" Inc
battle in both the National and Amer
lean leagues has been west vs.. west
and east vs.. east. That Is to say, the
four eastern teams Of each league
have been playing against each other
and the four western teams have been
fighting for supremacy. Inc result
in the National league, with possibly
one exception, gave less reason for sur
prise than it did in the American. II
was not an occasion for surprise when
the Pittsburg team jumped out IN
front and remained there with the e.
ception Of three or four days, when
New York and Philadelphia fought for
first position. Chicago fans. how
ever. could not see why the CUBS
should be tied with Cincinnati for
fourth place, but they have by no
means lost faith In Chance and his
bunch Of warriors, and they were con-
fident that the Cubs would be up at
the ton before the season Is much old
or. Hope was revived when the Cubs
shut out the Giants in the first game
The two old rivals played this year.
It is agreed that Pittsburg, having
Allied the hole at first, is stronger this
season than it was last. Flynn, the
former st. Paul player, seems to have
been Just the man Clarke was look
ing for. The manager of the Pirates
was by no means satisfied with Alb
stein's work last year and he let him
70 to the st. Louis Browns. No other
National league team wanted him, eth
er. In the spring training and early
practise Clarke tried three men on
first but Flynn now has the Job nailed
down tight. He seems to be regular
"bear cat" with the stick and already
has two home runs to his credit, with
q three Dagger, a couple OF doubles
and some singles thrown In for good
measure. {:
Charlie Doom has instilled brand
of ginger into the Phillies that made
them play a whirlwind game from the
start and McGraw has the Giant bunch
setting hard pace. The Cincinnati
Reds have not done AZ well as expect
ed. but Griffith never Is beaten until
The last man is out, SO don't count him
out of the running just yet. Boston,
Brooklyn and st. Louis are about
where the experts figure they will be
when the season ends.
It may be remembered that at the
end Of the first month last year Pitts.
burg had won seven and lost one game
10 the Chicago Cubs. This season the
result was Ave to three.

Cleveland is always dangerous team.
It has some players that are apt to
smash things at any time, and
Deacon" Mcclure has put them we'll
In the running.
When the season started it was the
contention of some fans that Detroit
would suffer this year for the want Of
pitchers. Jennings has given his
youngsters chance, and they have
done well, while the veterans have not
shown much that would make them
look like world heaters. Out of
seven games played with the Chicago
Sox, a team that is made up mostly of
recruits, the champions of the league
could win only three. Manager Duffy
of the Sox has been forced to make
some changes in his lineup. Black
burne, the much touted shortstop,
failed to hit and made some blunders
that put him on the bench while Lee
Tannehill took his place.
When 20 games had been played in
the American association, St. Paul and
Minneapolis were the only ones that
had won more than they had lost.
Louisville, winner of the pennant last
year, had to be content with fifth
place.
But the seasons young in all these
leagues, and many a team that has
been on the bottom at the start has
pulled up to the head of the list at
the finish, while some that have start
ed OF like a whirlwind have ended
the season like July zephyr. There
fore, Mr.. Fan, If your favorite isn't
at the top or near it now, remember
that there is yet plenty of time for it
to get there, and don't forget the un-
certainties Of baseball.
