MAcKMEN WILL BE
 RRAcED BY YOUNGSTERS.
Mack Has Developed Young TwirIers to Take Place of the Big Trio.

Who win pitch for the Athletics next year Connie Mack's recent un- expected move in asking for waivers on his three veteran pitchers, Bender. Plank and Coon1bs, has caused much discussion among fandom. These three pitchers always have been re- garded as the nnainstay of his won derful team. Coombs, while of little use during the last two seasons. was a glutton for work when right, for in 1910 and 1911 he scored a half hundred victories for the Mackmen.
 While MaclSs move appears rather drastic on the face, it undoubtedly will prove a, rare bit of wisdom in the end, for the tall leader makes feF unwise moves. Undoubtedly the loss of Plank and Bender will weak en the Mackmen to 8 certain extent, for neither veteran is through as a pitcher, Coombs is of course an uncertainty. He figures he will be able to come back. He looked pretty good in the two or three workouts late in the 1910 season and seems to have 3 chance to regain his o!d-time pres tiEe. but as Mack lost big money Evisa 8 worad's champion team. he ct.s hardly afford to take a. chance The Athletics last year were wee bit too strorg for the league. A poor race was tha result, which naturally resulted in a. bis falling off in att tendance in Philadelphia in partfcu- lar

saving of s2O,0oo to the owners of the Philadelphia club It may also slow the Athletics up enough to equal ize the playing strength of the teams, make an interesting race, and stir up enthuhiasm among the fans, who for years have come to regard the Ath- letics as almost certain winners. Since 1910 Macl<'s team has been all most a prohibitive fayorite for the pennant, and only once, in 1912, did the team fails
 Where Mack will miss Bender and Plank most will be in the role of pinch pitchers. For several years Mack has nUrsed the veterans to the very best advantage. He has start ed his younger pitchers more fre- ways had the older heads in reserve, ready to rush them into the breach the moment one of the youngsters showed signs of wavering. In this way Mack has developed his young sters. and saved many Q same that would have been lost had he not had a Bender or a Plank to go to the res- cue, and work out of some critical hole into which a '1zid' twirier had pitched himself. Mack always uses snap judgment on hls. pitchers. He works on the theory that it is better than remove him after the damage has been done.
 Don't think for a. minute, however, that other American league teams will not see some high class twirling when they face the Athletics Joe Bush and Bob Shawkey already have arrived. In these youngsters Mack has pair Of pitchers who shape up well with any of the right handlers in the Johnsonian organization.
 In Welden Wyckoff, Mack has a youngster, who he believes Is des- tined to become one of the greatest pitchers in the game
 He is the most promising young pitcher l ever saw, remarked Ben der one day last summer. when some offs chances He has a world of natural ability, plenty of brains, and best of all, he doesn't imagine he knows all there is to know about pitching. You can talk to him and he will listen"
 In Rube Bressler, Mack looks to have a second Eddie Plank While not much has been said about Bressler. the youngster is today one of the best southpaws in the league. In Pen mock, Mack has another clever south paw. If Pennock could be made to take the pastime a little more serious ly he would be a star. Late in the fall Mack tried out a big right-ha CT by the name of Jensen, who looked pretty fair.
 In stead of being weak in the pitch ing department, Mack has a wealth of material, some of which appears to merely lack development.

WILL FIGHT THE
 FEDS ON SCHEDULES.
Organized Ball Planning an Attack on
 Chicago Outlaws.

Organized baseball is planning an aggressive campaign against the Chi cago Federal league club. The sign ing of Walter Johnson by Charles Weeghman will result in a fight to a finish with the White Sox and Cubs. c. A. Comiskey fired the first gun when he bought the release of Eddie Collins from the Athletics to manage and play second base for the White Sox. Com iskey will secure at least two more star players within the next month or so who will make the White Sox one of the greatest ball clubs in the country Meanwhile Roger Bresnahan, backed by the Taft millions. has been author ized to strengthen the Cubs at any cost. It is understood that the Ma uonal league men agreed to forget Charles Webb Murphy when Taft con sented to loosen the purse strings.
 The playing schedule of the National and American leagues will be so ar ranged that the Chifeds will run up against a conflicting date every Sunday during the season at home Weegh- mans club on the North Side depended almost entirely on Sunday games last season, some of them being played while the Cubs and White Sox were away from Chicago. But next year Weeghman will not be allowed to en- joy a clear field on the Sabbath so that it is believed his Sunday receipts VIII De STeally Qlnll0lSneO- whenever Walter Johnson pitches for the Ch1- feds at home on a Sunday there will be a counter attraction strong enough to keep many fans away from the North Side:
 The big league schedules will also give the Chifeds as many conflicting games on week days as possible. Comiskey and Taft are prepared to make the hardest kind of a fight on these lines, so that the Feds will have anything but an easy time in the Lake Shore metropolis. With the White Sox and Cubs both pennant factors. the leaders of organized baseball believe that the Chifeds. no matter how suc- cessful they may be on the ball field, will'not enjoy.the looked for prosperity. This plan of action has been prompted by -thet experience of the Feds in St. Louis last season, when they were completely overshadowed by the good playing of the Cardinals and the Browns. St. Louis fans realized that the~ Feds were not in a major league, so$they turned their backs, just as it

 May Go Through.

New York, Dec. 13.-Ban B. John son, president of the American league left New York today without announc- ing any conclusion of the deal where fore the transfer of the New York club in his league was expected to be effected.
 MT Johnson said that he would not stop at French Lick Springs, where Colonel Jacob Ruppert, N9e prospec- tive purchaser of the club, is staying temporarily, but he indicated his ex- pectation that the present week was likely to find the transaction of the sale of the Yankees to the New York brewer either definitely closed or abandoned permanently That the prospects of the deal being put through were bright, however, was in- timated in other quarters.
 This is the first time that president has not been slated for election at the annual meeting of the National league. President Tener holds over from last year. and after the first of next Janu- ary he will assume complete charge of his duties. d d..-.A Hsa4kM ManEl
