more useful field i'm the realms of am
ateur pastimes and recreations. The
wielder OF racquet, mashie, or ora can
see himself as others see him with
faults In playing form clearly Illus
trated.
This ability to depict the strong and
weak points of individuals and teams
IN sports and games has been discov-
cred to be of much help to coaches and
instructors. Consequently the camera
is being constantly called In action by
those who direct the activities Of the

at Cornell and Columbia are taken
each season and thrown on the canvas

Blue Bowl" as the stadium has been
facetiously dubbed by members of a
tlippant generation, ana the graduates

More than half of the thrty-two tun-
nels which pierce the walls for en-

finished and the structure as a whole
is beginning to take shape. The con-

THE word 'amphithcatre' does not
quite express the idea of the structure,
as Greek amphitheatrcs did not have
seats below the level of the ground;

been often suggested. The arena is

HOW MACK HANDLES PITCHERS.

Not in Series,

Connie Mack is "A funny old codger.
Mack wins his 1913 American league
pennant by derricRing pitchers mer-
cilcssly whenever they show the
slightest sign of Weakening. Few of
his pitchers, especially the younger
ones, ever nnish the games they start
There is no more sentiment about his
handling of the hurlers than in a cake
of ice.
Directly h. wins the pennant. Mack
wins the worlds championship by eX-
|ctly the opposite methods. refusing
to Jerk out his pitchers even if they
appear wobbly, as vas the case with
Bender in his game, or 10 remove a
pitcher for a pinch hitter as was the
lost, Mack refuses To give any rea-
son for letting Plank stay except that
he didn't want To hurt Eddie's feelings
Three pitchers. Plank, Bender and
CoUmbs. have won four worlds cham
pionships for Mack. The Athletics
have played Il games To win the title.
The three veterans have pitched -
of them. Only two youngsters, Bush
this season, and Coakley in 1903, have
been allowed to start games. Bush
Won his; Coakley lost. Only once has
Mack taken a hurlcr from the game.
That was when Cuombs injured him
self. ard even then he let his pitch
two innings in a battered condition
until the score was tied
