BY JOE MURPHY
Dutch Schaller made 1t possible
yesterday for the Seals to enter the
first division. In the eighth frame
with two down and Johnston on hrst
and Roy Hit showing his youthful
form. the big German stepped up to
the plate and, after taking two
strikes and fouling OFF seven otner
good ones he finally connecteo
souarely with one of Roy's best ana |
sent the ball on its way to distant
point beyond the right field fence
The smash of Dutch's was one OF
the rnfghtiest that has been wit
messed on the local lot. The ball
Travelled, high and far, and the last
seen OF it was when 1t was descend
ing to- a point in the vicinity OF
Fourteenth street. Up to that time
the Tigers were a run in front, ana
the way that Hit was going, II oio
not seem likely that the Seals wouio
break down his guard.
The victory gave the Seals a sim
chance of going into the first divi-
sion. The chance OF their getting
there requires an extra effort. nut II
IS possible. 80
games of the series to displace the
Tigers.
Yesterdays defeat meant that the
Tigers were forced to relinquish sec
ond position to the Sacs. The up
country tossers succeeded In down
ing the pennant winners in haro
fought IL inning battle. Less than
a game separates the Tigers and the
Wolves and neither team can anoro
10 show any weakness in the re-
manning games of the series II they
expect to finish in the number two
hole.
Many rival club managers have
often wondered why Connie Mack of
the Athletics was so successfui IN
managing young ball players. Prob
ably If some of these leaders would
open their eyes they would be able to
detect the reason, which Is very ap-
parent. First of ALL Mack has har-
nony in his club It Is Ikea happy
family, and il will be noticed tnat
any time ball player does not like
the surroundings Mack finds him an
other BERTH
Then. again, he shows his players
the greatest respect He Ia firm with
his men, and he is sincere He does
not resort to abuse in getting results
If recruit shows promise, Mack Is
willing TO do everything possible TO
give him a chance. He is more pa
tient with his young players than any
other big league manager. There is
not another boss in either league who
gives young players better chance.
Jack Atkins appearance at Recrea-
ton park yesterday started the rumor
working again that he Is looking for
a purchaser for his ball club. At
klns has never come out publicly and
stated that he wanted to sell the
Wolves, but the rumor is still being
passed along.
The promoters of the Federal league
are claiming the sympathy OF the
baseball players. and they declare that
the men swho make the game will be
with them. Horace Fogel, who Ia one
of the leaders OF the outlaw league
announced the other day that the
Baseball Players fraternity was with
the league and that there was q like
Ihood OF 1t calling strike all along
the line.
Getting right down to the facts,
the fraternity has assured the mag
mates of both leagues that no assist
ance would be given to the FederaIs
They realize that they are well of
now, and that trouble at this time
would me big loss to the players.
The fraternity IS seeking q number
of concessions from the league mag
mates, and they have some grievances.
A meeting of the representatives and
the magnates is likely to be held. and
IT Is the belief that the players will
gain number of points. However.
the magnates are against David l.
F'ultz. president of the players fra
ternity, and they want him eliminated
from the negotiations. Whether they
submit to their representatives being
turned down is another matter.
The fraternity has elected the fol-
lowing officers for another year:
President David L. Fultz; vice
presidents, Ray Collins, Red Sox:
Jake Daubert, Brooklyns; John Henry.
Washington, and John Miller, Pirates:
secretary, Ed Ruelbach, Brookiyns; al

money he made.
Orr, with Pete Daley, was picked
out OF the Coast league last seasor
by Manager Mack. Neither OF then

the pennant for Mack, but they wer,
