BOOST MCCARTHY

New York Sun: The stage is all
set for the appearance here of Luther
Mccarthy, the man who smothered
Carl Morris white hope aspirations.
Doubtless Mccarthy will now be hailed
as the long looked for man to de-
throne Jack johnson. Whatever his
qualifications may be Mccarthy at any
rate does not lack the most vital quali-
fication of ala punch. A battler who
can drop the mammoth Morris in his
tracks with one clean blow is a real
hope Mccarthy has youth and a giant
physique in his favor. He is said to
be an unassumipg youth, willing to lis

ONLY Two PLAYING

Now that Roger Bresnahan has an
nounced that he will hereafter manage
his cardinals from the bench, the
number of playing managers in the
National league is reduced to two
Charlie Doom of the Phillies and
Johnny Killing Of the Boston braves.
Bresnahan is the third National
league leader to retire from active
playing this season, the others being
Fred Clarke and Frank Chance. AT
this rapid pace it won't be long until
the playing managers days will be
past. In the American league there
still remain three pilots who work

From this the question as to wheth-
er manager can direct his team bet

of the former. Connie Mack of the
worlds champions in recent article
put forth one argument as to why a
bench manager should succeed better
than one who takes part in the game.

THE fact that Del Gainor, our first

professionals trotted out to the ball

slip them their first defeat. Shears is

in the same boat. He is laid up with

The team held its last practice this
afternoon and the boys feel confident of

A three cornered track meet is
scheduled for today at Franklin

University of Pennsylvania, the
Carlisle Indian school and the Car

battle the men, numbering anywhere
from fourteen to sixteen, who are not
participating in the game, are apt to
forget all about what is going on on
the field and spend the time telling
jokes. paying no attention whatever
as to what is taking place not more
than seventy I'VE feet away.
With the manager sitting on the
bench with these same players they
are not going to remain idle, but will
follow every play, study the pitchers
and try to fathom the signals of the
opposing team. Comics argument is
one of the best ever given in favor of
the bench manager, and that he is one
of the greatest leaders in the game to-
day proves that he knows what he is

MARTY O'TOOLE IS
READY FOR GIANTS

This o'Toole man." says DR.. Hob
ltzell of the reds. is going to beat
New York. think he is just the stuff
to beat that gang with, and L expect to
see him put it over them three times
out of four. If any New York pitcher
beats him it will be Mathewson--he
ought to get away with the others.
1t will take some steady pitching,
without any bases on balls, to trim
him. just like the pitching Suggs did
Thursday. Matter of plain arithmetic,
that's all. There will be so few hits
made of O'Toole that the pitcher who
beats him must give so few bases on
balls that ORIOLES work will be neu-
tralized. Suppose O'Toole, as he did
Thursday, allows only five hits, but
gives FIVE passes. That is equivalent
to ten hits, and to beat O'Toole a
pitcher who gives no passes can stand
for seven or eight hits, and yet have
a good show to get away with him.
Suggs passed nobody and he stood for
seven hits, yet he won out by the mar
rowest of margins over O'Toole with
his FIVE hits and his Ave free tickets.
See how the arithmetic works out?
The latest gossip has 1t that Marty
OToole is not an Irishman, as might
possibly be supposed from the name,
but Frenchman. the real spelling be-
ing Eau Tulle. Be that as it may,
Marty is some pitcher. Anyone who
can fan ten of the reds has to go some
to execute such fell designs. Most of
the third strikes were on balls that the
boys did not even hit at, but stepped
away from. They looked as if they
would come way inside and hit the
batsman, but broke nicely over the
plate, and were SO plainly good that
the victims did not even make hoi-

man and the best man a Detroit in
field has ever had to throw to.
Pitching staff Strong.
Our pitching staff will be more for
midable this season than in the past.
Mullin, Summers and the rest of the
veterans are sure to have another
good season. and the youngsters are
apparently rounding into great form.
Il see that Oscar Stanaga is going
to try to catch every game that our
club plays this season. There is an
other point in our favor. If Oscar can
stand up behind that plate every game
it not only puts a grand, heady catch
er back of the plate, but adds strength
to the hitting end of the club.
I'VE may not get to another flying
start, but the team that beats us out
will win the 1912 American league
pennant. With good pitching and
catching and Crawford, Delehanty,
Stanage and Gainor hitting like they
alone can hit, the Detroit team of 1912
