AS far as generalship gees, the

last ditch when Mack played II out

a small percentage the chances of
making a play. SO far as actual play
goes. the difference in the tAams is
the difference between Schang and
Gowdy. Schang Is catching W petched

has been the joke of the season. The
worst feature Of the Athletics is that
they are hitting at bad balls and in
unumely fashion Either they are
slipping or Stallings pitchers are
Outguessing them at every. turn.
The generalship Yesterday was
wonderful, especially toward the last,
when the Athletics we're driven lack
into the defensive After Gowdy' in
the twelfth smashed the ball into 7he
bleachers for two bases. Stallings
rushed Mann out to run for GoWdy,
because of his speed, and sent Gilbert
up 10 bat for James. who had been
summoned to the slab because pinch
hitter was sent in for Tyler Big
James almost wept and protested
against being taken out and fought fhr
a chance to bat. But Gilbert went UP
and Mack ordered him given base on
balls to increase the chances for a
force play at third Moran pushed
down the telling bunt and Bush mafle
n desperate effort TO throw out Mann
at third-threw a bit wild and the ball
went on to left and let Mann romp
home.
Stallings outfigured Mack on pitch
ing. He threw the Athletics into be-
lieving that Rudolph would pitch.
then sent in Tyler, who, while wobbiy
in spots. pitched great ball. IL was
Tyler's 'hlunder in throwing 10 sec
ond in the tenth inning instead of to
first, that made possible the two run
ners scored by the Athletics.
Getting down inside IL is evident
Stallings system is triumphing over
Mack's. Stallings has two theories;
one that pitchers must hold runners
close to bases and cover first base at
top speed. the other that sluggers can
be slow balled into helplessness. Both
are working out. Tyler slOw-balled
the sluggers and stopped them. and
he held up the Athletics runners as If
they were glued 70 bases. Besides
that he nipped Collins off second
when il seemed the worlds cham
pions were going to grab game.
The plans for today's game we're
definite even before the batteries we're
decided Stallings intended to use
Rudolph and try 10 clean up four
clean straight, while Mack was driven
back upon what Gordon Mackey calls
his "brOnze relief Bender.
The majority of the members OF the
81 Told You So Club" have resigned
