straight games last season. In addi-
ton to the teams competing in yes

membership includes the Athletics"
the Pirates" the Climbers" and the
"Hustlers."
All of the more than 800 prisoners

could and rooted" with all the vim
and enthusiasm of their prototypes on
the outside. The umpires, selected
from among the prisoners, were freely
and frankly denounced as robbers"
In fact, there was not a feature of
outside baseball missing in the prison
contests, while some of the plays
would have done credit to a major
league team

Mack After Another Pitcher

Connie Mack is after Paddy Green.
the big, raw, right-handed woodchop-
ping pitcher of the New York Amer
leans, provided Frank Chance reaches
the conclusion that he cannot keep
the Massachusetts boy on his already
large Highlander pitching corps,
Scouts of the Athletics saw Green, or
Grenier, work out with the Holyoke
team of the Connecticut League and
reported favorably to Connie about
the lad, then only 10 years old, who
was able to pitch like a champion
through both games of double
header.

After that win, the Yank Seconds
ought to be easy for Tige today.
President c. H. Ebbets, Eddie
M'Keeyer and Larry Sutton watched
the proceedings from a private box,
They seemed satisfied with the out
come.
Bob Higgins is a good coach.
"Hig" gave a realistic imitation of
a cabaret show on the third base
lines.
With Collins on third, in the second
inning, Smith gave the signal for a
squeeze, but Harry only succeeded in
fouling the ball. Collins had a rood
lead and would have scored had
Harry been successful in meeting the
pill.
Shack has lots of nerve. He
showed that in Chicago the first day
he pitched for Cleveland in the U.
S. League. He had been riding for
two nights, but Manager O'Connor
sent him to pitch with three on bases
in the fifth inning. Shack struck
out three men in row that round
and famed five more in succession
for . total of eight consecutive
whiffs. He has a slow ball. and a
hop on his fast one, a good drop and
about everything else in the line of
curves. but best of all he has con-
troll and is cool at all times.
Nap Fucker is a wonder at control
and so are all great pitchers. One
day in Chicago last season Rucker
filled the bases and then gave Schultz,
Tinker and Heinie Zimmerman three
balls in a row each and then famed
them on his next three offerings
That's the kind of grit and control
that makes a great pitcher. Rucker
can beat the Cubs, they say. most
any old time.
Frank Chance and his first team,
with Russ Ford heaving, will be the
attraction tomorrow. Chance is ex-
pected to prove a big drawing card.
as he never played here before, so far
as we can remember.
Benny Meyer was cheered every
time he appeared on the scene. The
fans like a hustler.
Zach Wheat will beat out most any
kind of an infield hit to the left side
of the plate. Bill Collins would do
the same if he were a left-hander

stab, getting the ball on the bound
and holding 'Zeb'' on second base.
Two runs were rung up on the play.
A minute later Swacina walked, and
Bill Collins, who was very much on
deck with his peppery all around
work, was beaned, forcing in Myer
with the third run.
Curtis pitched a good game after
that, but was not as steady as the
clever Tiger recruit. AL. Shack. Cur
tbs has a slow ball that sails up to
the pan like a lump of mud. and
when a batter does hit the blamed
pill it seems mushy. Bill Collins,
who played with Curtis up in Boston,
tells about Curtis striking out the
great Wagner thrice in one game.
Finally in the ninth the bags were
filled and Curtis tried another slow
one on Wagner. Honus did a BILLY

home run. That's the kind of a hitter
Wagner is. He gets them when they

Harry Smith didn't have a hit yes
terday, that is the kind one gets
credit for in a box score, but Harry
! made a big hit with the fans. He
never worked harder in. his life be-
hind the plate and failed to get hit
only because Benny Meyer made a
neat grab of his Texas Lacquer and
turned it into double play.
Eddie Zimmerman was rendered a
rousing reception and shared with
Bert Tooley the fielding honors of the
day Hi Myers slammed out the first
hit of the game and was stamped
o. X by the critics in the left field
stands, which means that he's going
to be popular this season. Gagnier

with one hit besides pulling a good
play on a tantalizing bounder from

Billy Zimmerman, the walloping
willow wielder, is the pinch hit nero
for the Tiger larrupers who ran the
Brooklyn flying machine to earth yes
terday. Bill punctured the plans of
the fast combination Bill Dahlen and
Larry Sutton have gotten together
with a crashing two-base blow to the
portside pasture with sacks crammed
in the third inning of the opening
baseball game of the season at WED
enmayer's Park yesterday afternoon.
The contest brought several hith-
erto undiscovered facts to light,
among them the sterling merits of
Al Shack as Singer. Harry Smith
picked the kid because a youngster
is better on a cold day than a vet
eran, who needs the warmer weather
to set the sap flowing and the
smoke a going. Shack, who was I'M
earthed in the wilds of the Bronx,
made the Brooklyn team eat out of
his paw. His control was wonder
full.
Billy Mcconnell, official scorer of
the Tigers and a veteran expert, who
has seen many highly touted phe-
pressed by the youngsters cleverness
in fielding hard hit raps directed at
various parts of his anatomy. Shack
IS a boxing bug, and maybe shadow
boxing helped him to dodge and parry
and stab some of those thrusts. The
only one they got by him through
the box was a willing welt from the
cudgel of Benny Meyer in the ninth
round. Benny banged the ball hard,
but did not get in a safe lick until he
burned liner through the box in
the final round.
Against Shack the Brooklyn slug
gers were next to helpless. Daubert,
the star first baseman of the oppo-
sition, alone was able to connect
safely more than once. Jake raped
out a double and single. His wal
lop in the seventh, following Wheats
single and theft, enabled Brooklyn to
escape a shut-out.
Newark's scoring was all damned
into one round. "Three runs in the
third was the way the score sheet
read. Shack walked, Tooley singled
and Myer was safe on a bad throw
by Curtis, filling the bags.
Billy Zimmerman Stars.
Billy Zimmerman. the pinch hit
king, fouled off a half dozen and then
doubled to left. Any time Bill fouls
off half dozen the fans may be sure
that hit is coming because Bill is
q great sticker and he stays right
with them all the time. Bill finally
got one he liked and it went skim
ming down the taft feio line between
Red Smith and the third Gag faster
than a mile a minute. Wheat made

SHELTERS RECEIVE
A SOUND BEATING

The Skeeters were badly beaten by
Frank Chances Yankees, 10 to 2, at
West Side Park, Jersey City, yester-
day afternoon. The cold weather
forced the "P. L" TO use several
subs. Chances shoes were filled by
youngster named Barry, who did very
well. Chase played an inning at
second and then jumped to the CLUB
house. Jack Doescher, who started
for the Skeeters, was hit hard and
lasted two innings. In that time the
"Yanks" poled out eight hits, and,
coupled with errors. scored IL runs.
Viebahn and Mains, who relieved him,
both did well Big George Mcconnell,
who started for New York, was a
puzzle, holding the Pests to. pair
of hits in six rounds. Hoff, who re-
lieved him, was scored upon twice
in the final round.
