the recruit who has been trained care

baseball product. 1t was so with Col
Inns, Barr, Lapp, McInnis and 1t will be
SO with others.
Connie uses his own judgment, not
that Of others. Thomas was a bench
warmer at New York and Detroit. Two
years under Mack made Thomas a hero
of two worlds series.
Twice a day Mack meets his players.
They discuss the plays of the game be-
fore. They plan the battle that Is at
hand. Every opposing pitcher is put
under a magnifying glass, so to speak.
Every twirler has certain little mo-
lions which he makes in delivering diff
ferent kinds of balls. These are pointed
out. It was because a member of the
Athletics discovered that Mathewson
made a certain movement with his foot
when he pitched his deadly fadeaway
that the Athletics beat New York when
Mathewson was pitching. They beat
Mathewson not by hitting the fade
away or by trying to hit 1t, but by
leaving it alone.
Puts Youngsters With Veterans.
Having culled the youngsters he
deems worthy, Connie puts them with
the veterans. Not one of the latter
would ever dare attempt to discourage

Local horsemen will be glad to learn
that another professional race meet
ing, with early closing purses and
class events, will be held at the Park
way track, Brooklyn. on July 80 and
August 1 and ,. Joseph r. Gibbons,

of the joint driving club, was unani-
mously elected chairman of the COM
mittee that will have entire charge of
the professional meeting. and William
NJ. Halstead, president of the Parkway
Driving Club, secretary and treasurer.
1t has been decided to open not less
than eight early closing events. each
to be worth $1,000, and at least four
class races, to be announced later, to
be worth either $500 or $500 each. The
selection of classes for the eight 81, 900
races and the appointment of a regular
starter and a presiding judge have
been left to a committee to look up
and have full power to arrange, its de-
cision to be final. The present plans
are to give two $1,000 vents and a;
class race each day for foul days, and
more if the committee so recommends.
The meeting will again be financed by
individual subscriptions of $50, as was
the arrangement las year.

Gliding to add another day to the meet

AS Soon as Youngster Shows
"Stuff,' With the Regu-
lars He Goes.

Manager Connie Mack, of the worlds
champion baseball team, is always
planning for the years to come. .
He develops his own players. He
gets them very young, usually out of
high schools or colleges. He aims to
secure them before they have had base
ball habits; that is, false or incorrect
methods in batting, throwing. pitch
ing, etc.
Mack first watches a lads physical
faults. He tries to correct them. If the
lac won't listen to advice off the team
he goes. His ticket to a minor league
city reads only one way. Only one
mar in eleven years ever came back
to the club. This is Bris Lord.
After curing a player of his false mo-
lions, Connie starts to train him ply
sically and mentally. He coaches the
lad on the field and he seats him near
him on the bench during a game and
explains to the lad the various plays
as they come up.
Mack next tries him in every position
until he finds the one the lad can play
best. Then he waits for the decline of
