Forced Moves is Said to Have
Won Many Baseball Pennants

Let we'll enough alone" is an ak
lon1 the successful big league man.
ayers must sometimes avoid. The Sc
cret OF many pennant successes has
been the direct result of a shrewd
SHIFT In the teams lineup without
the club having to get any players
fro mthe outside.
1t requires much thought and ma
tlence to know exactly what position
a player fills best. One bali tosser
may be a mediocre in the one posi-
non and a star in another. That is
the reason the manager must keen
alert and try to discover if by NOV
ing Jones to the outf1eld and sending
smith, a man on the bench, to tho
lnfield, ne might buttress his team.
Some years ago Manager Frank
selee was dissatisfied with is club. II
needed more life and youth. on the
first base he had Tom Tucker, a once
great player. who was aging. Selee
was soon convinced that first base
had to be strengthened or Boston
wouldn't figure in the race
1T was a perplexing problem, for
'selee had no utility first baseman
and idn't know where to get one. II
happened that he had discovered a
promising young out1elder by the
name Of Stahl. Stahl showed enough
stun to warrant his getting a trial,
put ne Boston outfield was in good
hands and there was no room for
Stahl. y"
Finally selee had the rebus solved.

University baseball fans will get a
fairly good line on the worth Of the
team that is representing that institu-
ton tomorrow afternoon, when Doc
Okeefe's youngsters will meet the
nine from the Mayville normal school.
This will be the first game of the
season for the university. While the
players have been working out in pref
ty good shape they have not been tried

my Kind of a team, the visitors should
make a showing. The university has
som substantial material-hoth old
and new-hut what the the aggrega-
ton will do in the way of working to-
gethcr is a question that is interesting
the lovers of n game at the big
school.
The Mayville team has played a few
games this car. While it's opponents
nave not been very fast, the contests
have indicated that the normal nine
is not so slow and can attend to bust
ness when hard pressed.
The probable lineup of the univer-
sity team follows:
McClintock, catcher; Campbell and
Robinson. pitchers; Capt. Gullickson,
first base: Burfening, second base;
Rue. shortstop; Sascn. third base;
Evans, McIlraith. Blewett. fielders.
Dryden will be IL of the game for
the rest of the season. In catching a

Just preceding the draft, l had a talk
with q league umpire in Austin. He
wanted a commission for selling

umpire to sell n of my players and
would not-that I would prefer that
they would no recommend any Of
them. | even told him l had a sale
prepared for Speaker.

to see me and asked what 1 would
take for Speaker. told him $500.
He said that was too much for a class

$500. He added that he would get
him for that amount by draft within
three days. anyway.

wired McAleer at st. Louis. 1 told him

score at all. I had to turn back to
Fluff. and finally made an agreement
to sell the boy for $500 cash, guar
anteeing to delive. at the close of our
season. A knocking umpire had at
tempted to keep Speaker back and
had kept us from getting the differ

Il still had difficulties in the case,
though. had agreed to deliver
Speaker to- Huff at the close of our
season. but a week away. iris was
anxious to report to Boston. but he
was under age. and his mother dis
approved. Mrs. Speaker was a fine
type of the woman of the old south.
And she did not understand baseball
to her the buying and selling of
players sounded like the barter of
slaves.
Objections in Way.
II saw h a l had to overcome Mrs.
Speakers objections. So l made a
trip to C%orsicana. where "a kinsman
Of hers and a good friend of mine
was in business. and l explained the
case to him. 1 told him that If Iris
made good he would earn a salary of
four or five thousand dollars. told
him that in his winter profession he
could hope to earn but $40 or $50 a
month and that he risked his life
every time he climbed a telegraph pole.
And added that Speaker was ex-
pected to report at Boston at once.
If he did so, travelling with the Red
Sox. he would have an opportunity
to see the big cities of the country
New York. Chicago. Philadelphia. ST.
Louis, Washington-places that would
be an education for him to see. And
/ added. let him go on this fall trip.
And then let Mrs. Speaker decide
next year whether he is to go back
or not. And then I will not say a
word one way or the other TO in
fluence her.
Mrs. Speaker came over to Cor
sicana the next day and her relative
put the case to her as I had explained
1t to him. So iris got his fall tryout
and next year there was no dissent

McGrath at short and Sagen watching
third base and territory. Farmer,

after things in the outfield.
with this arrangement the Picketts
lineup Will be strong and the boys are
expected to give a good account Of

said to be nicely prepared to look
AFTER their own interests. In two or
three jobs the Picketts will be

McWilliams. the colored boy who
has signed UP with Beach, played a
nice game at third. but Sagen who

also there with the stick.

He shifted Fred Tenney from right
field to first base and put Stahl in
Tenney's place. The fans and critics
ridiculed Selee for making such a
change. but in a few weeks they saw
the wisdom Of the V
1t was not long before Tenney was
proclaimed the greatest first baseman
in the history of baseball and Stahl
the find of the year. This was in the
shift Boston started a pennant-win-
ming season Of 1897. and as a result
of the streak. which lasted two years.
Probably the next greatest shift
made by a big league manager took
place in 1901, when Fred Clarke took
Hans Wagner away from first base
and sent him to short in place of
Bones Ely. Then he dug up Kitty
Bransf1eld and placed him on first.
This move was also attacked by the
fans. who could not believe that such
an awkward player as Wagner could
MI a position requiring so much
speed and alertness as shortstop.
It was a master move on the part
of Clarke. who soon had the best
~shortstop in h National league. and
today Hans is playing. high class ball.
Later on Clarke made another
good move when he took Tommy
Leach off third base and sent him to
center field.
Next to the Wagner and Tenney
shift. the change from which the
most benefit was derived was enei-
neered by Connie Mack. It started
him on the road to his world cham
pionships. In 1909 Connie looked
around to find a place of abode for
Eddie Collins. Collins played short
and right field previously. but didn't
exactly fit in either place.
