FOR THIRD
SGhaIIer's Mighty WaIIop Puts
Them in Line to 0vertake
the Tigers


the Tigers
By JOE MURPHY
Dutch SchalIer made it possible
yesterday for the Seals to enter the
first division In the eighth frame,
with two down and Johnston on first
and Roy Hit showing his youthful
form, the big German stepped up TO
the plate and, after taking two
strikes and fouling of seven other
good ones, he finally connected
squarely with one of Roy's best and
sent the ball on its way to distant
point beyond the right field fence
The smash of Dutch's was one of
the mightiest that has been wit
messed on the local lot. The ball
Travelled high and far. and the last
seen Of 1t was when IL was descend
ing TO q point in the vicinity OF
Fourteenth street Up to that time
the Tigers were run In front. ana
the way that Hit was going. 1t did
not seem likely that the Seals would
break down his guard.
The victory gave the Seals slim
chance of going into the first divi-
sion. The chance OF their getting
there requires an extra effort. but II
is possible
They must win the next three
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 hard
fought IL inning battle. Less than
a game separates the Tigers and the
Wolves and neither team can AFFORD
to show any weakness In the re-
naming 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 successful in
managing young ball players. Prob
ably II some of these leaders would
open, their eyes they would be able 70
detect the reason, which is very ap-
parent First of all, Mack has har-
4nony IN his club. 1t is Ikea happy
FAMILY, and IL will be noticed that
any time a ball player does not like
the surroundings Mack finds him an
other berth.
Then, again, he shows his players
the greatest respect. He is Arm with
, his men. and he is sincere He does
not resort to abuse in getting results.
II recruit shows promise, Mack is
willing to do everything possible to
give him a chance. He Is more pa
tien1 9Th his young players than any
other big league manager. There is
not another boss in either league who
gives young players better chance.
a = at
ton park yesterday started the rumor
working again that he Is looking for
a purchaser for his ball club. At
kins 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 who make the game will be
with them. Horace Fogel, who is 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 a like
hhood Of it calling strike ali along
the line
Getting right down to the facts.
the fraternity has assured the mag
ance would be given to the Federals.
They realize that they are well off
now. and that trouble at this time
would me a big loss to the players.
The fraternity IS seeking a 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
* Is the belief that the players win
gain a number of points. However.
the magnates are against David l.
Fultz. 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 Soy:
Jake Daubert, Brooklyns; John Henry.
Washington. and John Miller. Pirates;
secretary, Ed Ruelbach, Brooklyns: di :
rectors, including representatives of
class AA leagues-W. J. Barbeau. e.
B. Barger. Fred Beck, w. J. Bradley.
Ty Cobb, John Collins, Ray Collins.
Sam Crawford, Daubert, Otto Denim
ger, Mike Doolan. Richard Egan, Fred
Falkenberg, Fultz, Bob Harmon. John
Henry, Fred Jacklitsch. Davy Jones.
Tom Jones. Christy Mathewson, John
Miller, Ralph Myers. D. B. Pratt, Reul-
bach, Victor Saler,y w. Schardt, A.
Shelton. Ed Sweeney. Ira Thomas and
James Williams.
Billy Orr, the local lad who played
with the Athletics during the season
and cut IN on the big worlds series
split. getting his share, amounting to
$3.243.94, is home. Orr says he is
going to buy ranch with the easy
money he made.
Orr, with Pete Daley, was picked
out of the Coast league last season
by Manager Mack. Neither OF them
was given much of a chance to win
the pennant for Mack, but they were
always ready. Near the end of the
season Orr was being used, and dur
ing the last week of II he suffered
the misfortune of breaking a bone in
the back Of his right hand Orr says
that Daley accompanied him as far
as Iowa, where he stopped of to see
friends. Orr says that Daley plans
to spend the winter in Los angeles.
