writes Gordon Mackey in the Phila-
delphia Evening Times.
Remember the personnel of that
crew that kicked Chance in the hair
cut and wrecked the Cubs, the demons
of two years as champions themselves?
Remember how the skinny strategist
and his bunch of FASTENERS floated
home to this burg. and were bouquet
ted and banquetted as the first Philly
team that ever kicked in with the en-
blem that emblazoned them as the he
roes of all Christendom AT that time
the young men who were employed
by the MesSrS. Shibe, Mack, Jones and
Hough numbered exactly rs athletes
an appropriate numeral in view of the
skiddoos which have taken place since.
Hast noticed of late how many Of
these nimble young frolickers have
been able to keep themselves glued 70

your cupalo that Connie Mack, in two
small years has allowed more than
of 1910 fit away to fresh woods and
pastures new?
Where They Flew.
Lamp the backstoppers. Ira Thorn
as and Jack Lapp still are doing BUSH
ness in the same old suite. But Pa
tricius Livingston and likewise Patri-
cius Donohue, both of these mittmen,
have packed their portmanteaus and
have beaten it long since. Connie
shunted p. Donohue to the minors, and
he kicked around in several communi-
ties in the brushes before he sewed
himself to the payroll down in the
Southern League. Paddy Livingston
resides in Cleveland. When Jasper
Davis went down there to hold down
the desk as manager, p. L. suggested
to the thin Hogan that it would be
first class scheme for Paddy to go with
Davis. "Huh-huh," returned the Ca
daverous Cornelius. Paddy went to
Napland. He is still there, and is a
splendid young coach for the young
catchers.
Pipe the pitchers next. Tomasso
Atkins was the first victim to have the
manager swing the scythe. Tommy
was railroaded to Baltimore, where
Jack Dunn used him until he felt that
T. A. was better off far South. So he
shipped the lad with the Kipling mon
aker to Atlana.
Next on the list was the wee spit
baller, one Jeems Dygert. Jimmy got
his wad of the worlds series stuff, and
peripateticked to New Orleans, where
he lives. James began to take on flesh
like a Dahomey Amazon kept outside
her wraps. He came back to the
Macksters, but while he developed
healthy young equator, he didn't seem
to have much left of his cunning. So
Jim went down to Baltimore, along
with the other refugees from the
Shibe salon.
Harry Krause, the southpaw from the
land of the native son, got fatty De
generation of his pitching wing. He
was shipped to Toledo to help TopSy
HartseI grab second place for Charley
Somers' second best bet. Krause was
another gink who began to take on
weight and take off science. Harry
went out on the coast where they
draw the stuff right from the rose
wood. One winter doing nothing but
trying to make the one ball stick IN
the side pocket put so much 1at out
sfGe of Krause that he came BACK

Cy Morgan Gets the Hook.
Cyrano Morgan, who was wont to
make a hawk look like Shetland pony
driven by the baby of the household,
was released without any trimmings.
Morgan is one of the Lest right-handers
on the soil. barring the fact that MS
spine is said to resemble an orange

Mack thought it about time to sever

gan was evicted. He spent his time
warbling for the film fans at night and
hurting a little semi-pro stuff for
Iubin's team during he past season.
Numbered in the necrology-classy
stuff for lead ones-are several of the
infielders. Comics wise eye early saw
that Ben Houser had bought his pass
port for the major league little too
late in life. So Mr.. McGillicuddy decid-
ed to make a first-bagger out of Stuffy
McInnis, as the Gloucester gossoon could
pickle the pill too wei to embellish a
bench. So Ben was shooed to Indiana
polls, thence taking his itinerary east
ward to the Boston Braves. Here he is
at the present time.
Popular Form of Suicide.
Harry Davis, of course, went to man
age Cleveland. This is one of the most
popular ways of committing suicide |
outside of continuing on the P. R. r.
and striking Cincinnati. Davis got tired
of having a bunch of midnight sons
around him, VIII did most of their ball
playing after sunset and darn little of
it during the matinee. So Harry threw
up his job, his salary and his contract
