CONFIDENCE IN
ATHLETICS WAVES
Philadelphia Sport Writers Trying
Daily To Reassure Their Read
ers BY Hopeful Words.

The sporting editors of the Phila
delphia papers are losing no oppor
tunity TO cheer up the disconsolate
supporters of the Athletics, whose
sad plight these days is locally EN-
phasized by the remarkable winning
streak OF the National league clut
which Is the rival at home of the
worlds champions.
The following is from the Monday
issue OF the Philadelphia Publ,
Ledger:
Faint heart ne'er won fair
lady" This time-honored and
true aphorism might serve to ex-
press the attitude of some or the
Quaker enthusiasts toward the
Athletics. Already many have
lost confidence in the worlds
champions. They claim to see
signs OF deterioration in the
team that will become more ap-
parent as the season progresses,
and make ii practically impos-
sible for the team to win the
American League pennant. To
those alarmists We would say
that their fears are without
foundation. Two reasons may be
assigned for the poor showing OF
the Athletics to date. The inner
ent strength OF any baseball az
gregation counts for little when
the units of that combination are
not hitting, and when the defense
is weakened by lack of condition
OF its pitching corps. This Is ex.
actly the plight the worlds cham
pions are in today. Weak
hitting and weak pitching have
combined to lose six out of seven
games played TO date. But to the
man who will spend sufficient
thought to analyze the situation
IL must appear obviously patent
that the same elements that were
perfected TO the extent of win
ming a worlds pennant are still
existent and in no wise impaired
or dulled. Why, then. this hasty
conclusion that the Athletics are
down and out?" There is bat
ting prowess In that Mack line
up that every pitcher breads and
will have good cause to fear be-
fore the season Is much older.
Baseball sharps do not think for
an instant that the Athletics
pitching stan is superannuated.
While IL is admitted that Plank
and Bender must age some time,
still neither showed any indica-
tons OF decay last year. Ii is
conceded without argument that
Coombs will be a special mark OF
fortune II he repeats his great
work OF last year. Still, his rec
ord in 1911 could suffer quite a
little and yet he would prove OF
material use to the team. When
these three twirlers strike their
true form, which warm weather
alone will give. the Athletics will
move along with much more sue
cess than they are enjoying at
present

Magnate Keeps Star In
Shape By Long Walks

The presence in Detroit OF Presi-
dent Hedges of the Browns calls at
tention to the fact that the st. Louis
magnate is probably the most inveter-
ate walker In big-league baseball. Mr..
Hedges is at 1t from early morn till
dewey eve. He has already traversed
most of Detroit on foot, as he has
stopped only for meals, sleep and the
daily game.
Nor does Mr., Hedges like to walk
alone. AS result, he has Bobby
Wallace, the Browns manager, and
Lloyd Rickert, the clubs secretary
in the pink OF physical condition.
They are the men whom Mr.. Hedges
usually calls on for companionship.

Between luncheon and the hour oil

prospects for the day. After dinner
last night Mr.. Hedges continued The

Yet the magnate arose fresh as q
daisy this morning and started out
for more pedestrianism.
Wallace says that, when the team
is at home. Hedges and he walk most
OF the time. He attributes to the
road work which he has gotten in
companionship with his employer the
excellent physical condition which he
now boasts.

Unless Pitcher Walter johnson
braces up soon, the Washington
club will likely wish that IL had

Plank has won the only two
games credited to the Athletics.
The Cubs are starting out in an
accommodating way by letting
their opponents win the opening
game Of the series.
Detroit had horseshoe victory
over the Browns, being out-batted
10 to 4, but winning by triple
play.
Walter Johnson is not at his
best unless Street is catching him.
Ainsmith's attempts yesterday to
hold Johnson's delivery we're both
ludicrous and tragic.
Eddie Collins has collected six
hits in the last two games.
CIeveland's lineup yesterday

Pitcher Rowan, Of the ouakers,

Dallas will be recognized as cham.

a squabble over the honor, as the
throwing out of several games by the

Jennings Gives l1oTiaIty
All The Credit Tor Play

Despite the effort of a morn.
ing contemporary to throw the
credit for Mondays triple play
on the manly shoulders Of II.
Jennings, who Is alleged to have
instructed Moriarty to drop La
portes infield fly which was the
medium Of the killing, the proud
boss OF the Tigers denies the
impeachment and gives all the
credit to Moriarty.
George muffed the ball on
his own responsibility" said
Hughie. Il never said a word
to him. What confused the
Browns. | think, was Bush.s &C
. tion In taking throw and
touching third base. II didn't
retire anybody, but 1t gave
Murray the idea he was being
forced, and caused him to run
Austin of second"
There was some confusion In
the minds of the general public
regarding the infield fly rule.
The rule governing its applica.
ton Is as follows:
The batsman is out (Rule
SD OF (Sec. 81 before two
hands are ont, while first and
second, or first, second and
third bases are occupied, he hit
a fly ball other than line
drive, that can be handled by
an infielder In such case the
umpire shall. as soon as the ball
be hit. declare II an infleld or
outfield hit"
The rule is obviously TO pre-
vent an infielder from purpose
ly dropping a fly and turning
a double play at the expense Of
two helpless runners.

Kind words spoken in yesterday
issue regarding Mr. Murray, the
Browns new right fielder are here
bv withdrawn until further notice.
While some OF the Browns played bad
ball. Austin in particular, Murray
topped all records for the day, and
the season In addition TO mufing
Bushs fly as above related. he struck
out four times in his five duels with
Lively.
On the other occasion he was pass
ed TO first base. Austin was on sec
ond and none were out Laporte
raised a high fy back of third, on
which OIoughlin proclaimed the run
ner out, under the infield fly restric-
ton. Moriarty muffed the ball, which
didn't really affect the play in the
least. Mr.. Murray, however. tore
down TO second base. Bush had run
over 10 guard third. and Moriarty
handed him the ball. Austin had
been forced of the bag by Murray,
according 10 his way OF looking at II,
and Bush ran down to meet him,
tagging him about ten feet from the
sack. In the meantime Murray had
started back from first, which he
observed to be decorated by the
burly person OF Mr.. Laporte. Like
a hen in panic. Murray surged up
and down the line until Bush put
him out of his misery by touching
him. thus completing one OF the most
unique triple plays known to base
ball science
All three of the Browns are guilty
OF marblehead malfeasance. Laporte
should not have run at all. and there
by confused Murray. Murray should
not have left first and thereby con-
confused Austin. Both Marray and
Austin should have held their re-
spective sacks, regardless of what the
others did.
In the meantime IL is alleged that
Moriarty dropped the ball for the ex-
press purpose of befuddling the foe
and on the orders of H. Jennings. AT

What Will Be
 The Highway Tax?

The Arizona Democrat says:
 Interest all over Arizona is cen tered on the meeting of the board of control next month, at which the rate of road taxation for tie ensuing year will be fixed.
 Sentiment seems to be over whelmingly in favor of assessing at the maximum legal rate which is 25c on the hundred dollars valuation Of property in counties . where road building is to be car ried on and five cents in all other counties.
 eve do not know yet in what counties we will build the terri torial road during the coming 12 months" said Robt. A. Craig, cit izen member of the board of con trol to-day. "Nor have we decided what will be the rate of taxation for road purposes. We are allowed to assess anything between , and 25 cents in those counties where we will build the territorial road We levied the maximum tax last year.
 During the next week we will be formulating our plan of cam- paign for the ensuing year and we will then undertake the road building. When our plan is com. plete we will know what tax we are going to levy"
 One of the objects of the trip to be taken shortly by Mir. Craig. MT. Norris, Reese Ling and J. B. Girand is to settle upon the route of the territorial road in Southern Arizona and to sound the sentiment of the people of that section on the question of taxa ton. It is hoped that the trip will begin Thursday morning, though MT. Girand is still i'll with tonsi- litis at his home in Prescott.
