ROWDIES DO NOT
SUCCEED.-C. MACK

vt IS not often that Connie Mack
breaks into print, but when he does
4 IL is usually worth while to read
what he has to say.
Probably the best explanation why so
many young players of ability fail IN
the major leagues comes in the fol-
lowing utterances from the leader of
the worlds champions.
It's easy 10 find good mechanical
ball players, but It's hard TO discover
those with a necessary supply Of gray
matter and real moral courage. The
player who makes good in pinch is
the winner. I don't mean the buffer
who bats the umpire and brOwbeaJs
mis- opponents, but the fellow who has
the nerve and backbone to meet every
emergency. The bulldOzer. as a rule. is
yellow, while the player who behaves
himself and brides his tongue is dead
game. ROwdies in general are not
quick thinkers. That's why I've always
steered clear of them Intelligent play
ers know how to curb themselves when
under fire and for that excellent rea-
son they seldom lose control of their
think tanks"

to the game. This must be done here
just like any other business. The man
who is successful is the man who
trains himself 10 his work and keeps
his mind on it,
IN my career in the game I have
known but one really good player who
could place baseball second to other
things. That man is Bill DahIen. now
manager OF the Brooklyn team. Dab
len played the ponies and INDUCED in
other outside affairs. He never prac-
ticed. He never gave the game a
thought when off the field. and he al
ways reached the clubhouse two or
three minutes before starting time.
Sometimes the game had to wait until
Bill took his position at short. If Dab
len mad devoted his entire time to base
bail he would have been the greatest
infielder OF al time"
Jack Lively is gone from the Tigers,
but the tradition of his glory will linEer
long In his year OF service with the
jungle band. Jack probably furnished
as much fun and was the butt of as
many amusing stories az any one who
ever made Detroit lively Here is a
new one on the sOutherner told by
that well known raconteur, Harry Tut
hill,
.One day while the club was stop
Lively happened to break a little piece
off one OF the chairs in his room. The
dana &c was slight and probably could
have been repaired for 80 cents Instead
of reporting the breakage to the office
and having the chair fixed. however
Lively got scared and made up his
mind to destroy all evidence Of the &C
cident-
Accordingly he smashed the chair
into small pieces by jumping on it and
breaking fragm ents over his knee This
done. he hid the traces Of his crime in
small closet under the washstand.
hoping the maugled body OF the chair
would not be found until the Tigers
left town.
1t so happened that the hotel was
doing some general house cleaning at
that time. and Jacks foul deed was dis
covered the next morning by the cham
bermaid. who reported to the house
keeper. The result was that Lively
found himself confronted with a bill
for SIS for one chair, and the club sec
rotary had to pay IT, not forgetting to
deduct the amount from Livelys next
check
That little adventure cost Mr.. Live
" just $3.50 more than ii ought to
have cost, to say nothing of the trouble
and time he spent in reducing the chair
TO fragments"

yeaEues-. When little Charley O'Lear3,
Of the Tigers. was released 10 the

He played with the Detroits In their
fights for the worlds title and was a.

For many years OLeary and Dutch

been pals. When they were together at
Detroit they formed the best pair IN

so is Charley. Their double harness act
was great. And they could surely do
the double harness act on the ball field
too. With Schaefer st second and
O'Llearv at short they were the closest
to the Evers-Tinker com animation that
history affords.
