exists however, the possibility of secur-
ing players Who IL not capable of major
league speed at the outset of their pro-
fessional careers. can quickly be coached
and trained to the point where they are
a decided acquisition TO a big circuit club.
Under professional coaching the stand
ard of play in college base ball has risen
rapidly during the past few years. Vet
eran big leaguers have aided the natural
player by advice and instruction. Little
hints on how to bat: take the ball for a
quick throw and other points of technque
in the game quickly bring players with
natural qualifications within the range OF
major league possibilities. All those con-
nected with the professional game today
realize that the college base ball team
offers one of the best recruiting grounds
at the disposal of the big league mag
Mates Billy Evans, the American League
umpire, college graduate and close OBJ
server of every angle of base ball. said
recently in discussing this phase of the
game:
THE college ball player has become
big factor in the major leagues. Ten
years ago a collegian was a rarity in
big league lineup. A few years ago major
league scouts in search of promising ma
terial gave the college games very little
consideration. At big game last sum

shown sufficient improvement over last

Mack usually places in the work OF his
old standbys.
Herb Pennock and Bob Shawkey are
the only colt twirlers to show pleasing
form in face Of the adverse weather for
pitching arms. Joe Bush, when he re-
turned from the spring training trip. ap-
peared to have the same puzzling delivery

comes American League teams will find
the Mackmen a more formidable foe than
they have been in the early days of the

PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-One year
ago Connie Macks pitching worries were
in their infancy. Looking back twelve
calendar pages. the peerless leader was
pressing into service two to four pitchers
to single game. The difference between
the start of the 1914 pennant brush and
the campaign of 1913 rests in the fact
that at present the Athletics are losing
slight majority Of their contests. while
they were winning consistently a dozen
months back, despite this unparalleled
pitcher jockeying.
Two reasons may be advanced for the
change in condition Of affairs. First
the Mack team as unit has not struck
its 14-karat gait. Batting. fielding. base
running and what not are below par
80 far as the work of the Mackmen to
date is concerned. On the other hand
there is considerable logic to the state
ment that the common enemy Is IN
better shape and playing classical IN
stead of elementary base ball, at TINS
early date. While not of the calloer
that wins pennants, the Mack twlriing
Is by no means the single fault with
the playing of the monarchs OF base ball.
Chief Bender and Eddie Plank nad APP
peared in several box scores for the
Mackmen at this time a year ago. Iron
Man" Jack Coombs had also twirled a
few games, but was later confined to
his bed with what developed into the
prolonged illness that has kept MIN

course. Coombs is not available at the
present time. and will not be for some
months at least. but Veterans Bender
and Plank have been forcedoto remain
on the bench most of the time since
opening day, April IA. because OF weather
unfavorable to their twirling arms. Ben,

Plank has yet to start his first contest
The probable lack of condition OF Ben
der and Plank has eliminated them from
being valuable working assets to the
team just now. This has forced Man

NEW YORK, April 27.-In an Interest,"
ing review Of the first base ball game
seen by him, Cyril Maude says:
.It is a rather difficult task TO "r'te
about base ball game. as the great
American pastime is foreign subject TO
me. 1 witnessed the game between the
Giants and Philadelphia recently at the
polo grounds and enjoyed it immensely.
TT was the first game OF base Dali
ever witnessed. I was amazed at the
sneed and agility Of the players. I believe
the prettiest trick Of the game Is to see
the pitcher catch a man unawares on
tha bag. Most amusing it Is to witness
the ever-enthusiastic fans play hide and
.ael. with the ball after ono Is fouled
into the stands. with the constables
.crirnmasing through tho masses to re-
cover It. 1t is a diversion that keeps the
crowd In good humor and lends excite
,,,e,,t to the pastime especially during the
dull periods.
