PLAYERS FEAR
NO PITCHERS

Why is 1t that some people are so
constituted that when standing or q
high building or at any upper story
window 1t is with only the greatest re-
straint that they keep themselves from
jumping? Why this desire to fling one
self to certain destruction There are
othax siuilar e~lsnn~nss In esh~r make
ups that are no less certain to bring
dire results.
One Of these comes In baseball, and
no fewer than three Of the real stars of
the two major leagues are victims OF a
strange force that may ultimately lead
them out Of baseball forever.
Ordinarily when a batsman grabs up
a bingle getter and steps to the plate
he is cautious about getting hit by one
Of the shoots that are served up to
him. One that looks too close for COM
fort causes him to fall back, and in
hundreds Of players this tendency, this
involuntary movement due to the In
nate desire for self preservation, leads
the batter to shyfoot. However, the
three players referred to are not of this
kind.
Frank Chance, the peerless leader Of
the Chicago Nationals, IS one Of the
ball players who when poised at the
plate looking oyer the slants of the op-
posing HEAVIER cannot get out Of the
way when he sees a pitched ball COM
ing at him. Some unknown force
holds him motionless. He is aware of
the fact that the sphere Is travelling
toward him, and he realizes his dan
ger, but try as he will he is held mo-
tionless. On several occasions the P. l..
has been cracked on the bean, and
with bad results.
Jake Stahl, the Boston American first
sacker, who retired this season, had a
stripe of the same w~hatever-itis in his
system. He was always glued to the
spot when the ball started for him.
He, too, felt chained to the exact posi-
ton in which he stood. and several
times he suffered In consequence Of
this strange mesmerizing power the
approaching ball had over him.
sgd Smith, the catcher acquired from
Atlanta by the Cleveland Americans
and who now looks certain OF a berth
with Cleveland In the American league,
is the third of these players Smith
says he realizes what II all means and
just what is going to happen in case
be does not get out Of the way when
tbs ball is coming straight toward him.
H 1ys he has tried TO get out Of the
way, but actually does not move an
inch. He cannot account for the fact
nor the feeling that keeps him in
harms way.
The consequences to him have been
summed up by the husky backstop as
many cracks" and the chances are
that there will be many more before
be has finished his career as a base
bali player.
This IL, of course. = type OF weak
ness to these players. Just how TO
properly label them IL a hard one. but
they are each mighty great ball play
ers, and, although they may Mt any
time be victims, they a never be
said to possess that other weakness
that 50 many players have and that
spells them, namely, shyfooing.

Will Meet Rivsrsidss in

A basketball team of the Totem

forum on Friday or Saturday night

The Tottenville team decided to

that arrangements will be made to
hold it on that date. ~

Futile Attempt to Hold Meeting of
Governors Last Night--0n|y One
Member Made Appearance
NEGOTIATIONS CALLED OFF

That there would be no factory
league baseball series this year be-
came definitely known last night
when a futile attempt was made to
hold a meeting of the Industrial
Baseball League governors. Presi-
dent David Hull was at the scheduled
meeting place for an hour but none
Of the other officials were on hand
and negotiations we're called off. 1t
is believed that no further attempts
will be made to call meetings and
the organization will lie dormant
throughout the 1911 season.
Perhaps the fight between teams
and officials for temporary posses
sion OF the silver trophy donated by
business men of the city a few years
ago Is Responsible for the result. A
quiet little war has been raging be-

CONNIE MACK, MANAGER OF H ATHLETICS
that has been Mack's big asset. Dur
ing his career as a manager there has
seldom-one might almost say never
been a time when he was not prepared
for any old emergency.
Mack has the great faculty of know
ing when one Of his stars Is about to
fade and knowing when one of his
youngsters is ready to jump in and oil
the veterans shoes. Then comes the
fateful day when the youth who has
been nursed along by Mack, who kept
him watching what the other players
did. Is made q regular.
That has always been Connie Mack's
system. It's very fine to have a pen
nant winning ball club. But they
can't 20 on winning pennants or keep.
Ing in the race forever.
The history OF Mack's successes
might be traced almost from the b.
ginning with his faculty Of obtaining
and trimming ball players as the big
factor. Mack does not want to buy
stars. He wants to make stars. And
that his system is a good one Is evt
dent from his record.

Ty Cobb is tired Of hero worship.
This may seem unbelievable, but we
have Tyrus' own statement to back IT
up. At a banquet in Monroe, La, this
spring, where the Tigers trained, the
Detroit star was called upon to make
a speech and said, among other things:
at is very embarrassing to me to be
singled out as the n bright star on
the Detroit team. These gentlemen
(pointtng to his teammates) are just as
much entitled to praise as l am II
takes a number Of players TO make a
team. The Detroit team has several
great stars, and l would like to see
them have their share of praise. This
