A BETTER CHANGE THAN IN 1905.
Athletics Were "AIl In" Then-WiII be
Fresh This Year.

Philadelphia, Sept. l7.-Until he has
ed it is not likely that Manager Mack
will do any talking about the big noise
with the Chicago Nationals later on.
1t does not follow though that he is
not doing a great deal of thinking re-
sarding the series. The present prac-
estimable value to him during the last
two weeks of the regular season.
1t will be recalled that at the close
of the campaign of 1905 the Athletics
were all in-worn out by the sustain
ed fight which they had to maintain
all season to capture the pennant.
This season Manager Mack will be
able to handle and place his players
in such manner as to insure the
best results when the worlds series
starts. He is not worrying much
about his catching staff-the one de-
partisans seem to think that he is
weak, at least by comparison, with
that of the Cubs. Lapp probably has
shown more improvement this season
than any other catcher in the league
and if there is anything particularly
wrong about Paddy Livingstones
throwing arm it is not apparent to the
naked eye. Ira Thomas retirement is
only temporary. Ira may not be the
shoWiest catcher in the game, but
there are none more reliable or more
likely to make hit when it is need
ed. But isn't it remarkable the way
that the Cub admirers continue to
harp on the alleged weakness of the
Athletics catching staff, as though
the series is to be determined by the
work of the man behind the bat all
alone?
