Philadelphia, 2S.-Its abou
as much Of a cinch as endeavoring
to separate childhood from it's confec-
tionery to state that If nine out of ten
managers had a team as versatile and
slick as the present worlds champions
the managers Wouldn't get any gray
streaks in their hirsute thatch sign
ing new men.
However, as eternal vigilance is the
price of safety. and Mr.. Gullicuddy
never likes to pass up anything that
shapes up like big league stuff at any
has his hooks u for several chunks
of new talent.
Two of these new fellows that Con-
ME is trying to lasso are a duo of
classy chaps. m is Joe Councilman,
the star slabman of the Brown team.
This rah-rah sllarpshooter came pref
ty close being the entire noise in the
collese world last season.
Hookir- up Il couple of inches over
the six feet mark, the big boy is a
right handed pitcher with as much
speed as a member of a chorus. and
more urves than the same sort of di-
vinity. Several major league scouts
have visited Providence and tried to
snare Councilman, whispering a matter
first intimatiOn hat Sir Joseph had
that there was that much money in
the world.
Clarke Wants Him.
Fred Clarke, the LEADER of the Pitts
burg team tried to sign Joe. But the
youngster refused to listen until after
he gets his sheepskin. Under these
that the astutc Mr.. Mack has already
signed the boy. but will permit him to
finish his college course before asking
him to exhibit his prowess before the
blear-eyed bugs in the bleachers.
Connie often gets the signature of
these collegians, and has them down
for future delivery. 1t was three years
before Harry Martin Joined the Mack
men that he was signed. and Harry is
allowed to finish his college career be-
fore he thinks of settling down to Il
regular pitcher for the kale.
The other kindling ON whom the
lean leaders. optics have speculativcly
dwelt is a young man named Tommy
EEright. who is a student now at
is in Massachusetts. and it is not often
that anything good in the shape of a
ballologist gets away from Cornelius
in that place.
Errigh: SHOWS Glass.
In the language of Battle Creeks
bard-thcrc's a reason. Said reason
being Tom Mack. the tall ones
w +tAo q aAoNSs III va NilSs
fie is a fraternal scout for his famous
relative.
Any time Il new one shows up with
the stuff around Worcester Uncle
gray coated messengers con-
vey that Information to Connie Via
the morning mail.
Enright halls from Fall River. and
is both a shortstop of skill and = full
back Of prominence. He played short
stop for the Durfee high school team
OF Fall River. and created a mild sem
sation there by his wonderful all
round work. Word of his prowess
reached the ears of astute Manager
Mack. and he burned u trail in pursuit
of Enright.
When the worlds series opened this
fall Connie Mack sent an Invitation
to Enright to attend tho games as
guest of the Athletics management.
Enright did not attend.
Enstcad he plugged along with his
studies and devoted his spare time to
DIR. II. p. Cahill's football instructions,
which. Enright declares. were far
moro useful to him than a trip to the
big baseball series.
