Dan Murphy and Harry Davis. Murphy
runs the team as a whole and is an
authority on attack. He is quick to
diagnose the weakness of a pitcher and
shift the attack to get the needed re-
suits. Murphy also coaches the out
helders, and give postgraduate
course in the hit-and-run, which really
ought to be called run -and-hit.
Davis is one Of the most valuable
members Of the pennant winning fac
ulty. He is a big fy-wheel in Mack S
machine. Harry ranks high as tutor.
Davis Coaches Youngsters.
In the morning Davis works with
the Juveniles. He points out their bat
ting, field and base running faults. If
they, don't grasp the bat right, Davis
will correct them. g..... - = -.
Edward Trowbridge Collins is the
leader of the players regularly engag-
sharp, and Mack looks to him for the
coups on the paths. Collins is greatly
proficient in scientific attack. He
knows just when to bunt and when to
lace the ball He is the speed king of
6O-horse power scoring machine.
Jack Barrys forte is defense, He
dtvlnes the attack of the enemy and
dresses" the field to forestall the par
ticular style of the opposing batsman
Collins also does the same thing, and
the two work together as smoothly as
two wheels of the same cycle.
Ira Thomas Is the skipper of the
pitchers. He corrects the faults of the
them to the "bullpen" in the afternoon
and keeps them warmed up. Thomas,
like the others, is no silent member of
the board of strategy, which is win
ming a fifth American league pennant
for the sage of Lehigh avenue.
