Last winter Connie Mack had a new
steel flag pole constructed and placed in
the northeast corner of Shibe Park The
pole cost the Athletics approximately
$l1O0. Recent events have proved that the
outlay was not wasted, as another Amer
ican League pennant has been won to be
unfured from this new masthead. The
chances are tho worlds championship
banner of 1914 will also fly there.
When Connie Mack glanced over the
percentage columns yesterday morning at
his hotel in st. Louis, he must have cas-
ualy noted the fact that If his team won
from the Browns, and the Red SoX were
beaten once in their afternoons double
header, that he would Clnch the cham
ponship. This led to the selection of
Charles Albert Bender to put the final
crimp in the aspirations of the Fenway
Park dwcllers by defeating Rickcys mon.
Bender has always been effective
against st. Louis. Yesterday he was
more than effective He moved down
the opposition with that calm regularity
which marks al his work. The Rickeys
didn't have q chance to score, while the
Mackmen piled up half a dozen runs.
BY capturing the pennant in 1914, Con-
ME Mack has established n worlds man
agcrial record, having won six flags in
Ban Johnson's circuit since the inception
of the league in 1901.
In 1902, the first year Mack's Athletics
won the pennant there was no worlds
series.
In 1905. his second victory, the Athletics
were defeated in the classic by New
York, four games to one. In 1910, after
lapse or five years, Mack again stecred
his club to the front, winning the pennant
and also the worlds series, beating the
Cubs in decisive fashion, after the ma
jOrity of experts had picked Chances
men to have a walk-over.
The following year, the flag again was
perched on a Philadelphia pole and again
the Athletics landed the worlds SERIES
winning their first one from the Giants.
In 1912, Mack met reverses which put
his club in third place at the finish. the
Red SoX finishing first and the Washing
ton team second.
to he a VIGOROUSLY weak pitching staff,
the Athletics came to the front thanks
to the splendid work of Plank and
Bender, winning with ridiculous ease,
and only being out of first place four
days during the entire campaign. For
the third time the Giants were Mack's
rivals in the worlds series and for the
second time the Athletics won the series,
winning four out of the five games
played.

to have their men in a position where
they could properly Judge the work of
the players. But If this were only a
practice game it would seem that all the
rules should he strictly enforced and none
waived even by common consent.
There was a great deal of interest
on the part of the spectators in the eX-
pertinent of numbering the players. This
progressive innovation by the Pcnnsyl-
vania management was thoroughly ap-
proved by the crowd, and especially the
newspaper men. The only deserved criti-
cism that could be made was that the
numbers were entirely too small. The
Quaker management intends to use big
ger numbers for succeeding games and
to have them painted on the jerseys with
white lead, which will be permanent and
enable them to be seen distinctly from
all parts Of the field
There were no surprises on other grid
irons. unless Cornel's defeat at the hands
of Pittsburgh could be so classcd. While
all the other big teams won about as
they pleased, Cornell seems to have been
fairly outplayed by the Pittsburgh eleven.
Remembering that last year Pittsburgh
beat Cornell 90 to I, and that this year
the men from the western end of the
plult nDI OIllN Iltu as SlIOllE IL team tS
last year, but one with the advantage
of several weeks more preliminary prac-
tice than Cornell, this result should not
have been entirely unexpected.
It simply indicates that what Cornell
needs more than anything else is more
intelligent schedule making. Cornell has
had several bitter experiences in this line
within the last year. Last fall the
Ithacans met so many hard opponents in
October. nearly all of which We're forti-
fled with preliminary practice, that they
were beaten twice, scored upon twice
and held once to a scOreless tie before
they had played any of their champion
ship games. Last year Pittsburgh was
sixth on the Cornell schedule and this
year moved up to second place Several
years ago Cornell's schedules were criti-
cised because the October games were so
easy that the team didn't get enough
practice, and when the really big games
were played the team was badly beaten.
Now the Ithacans have gone to the other
extreme. 1t is not necessarily a dis
grace to be beaten by team of Pitts
burGh's calibrc, but if Cornell had played
Pittsburgh later the schedule would have
been more properly balanced and the
chances for victory correspondence
greater.
Harvard overwhelmed Bates by the
score of Al to o. and if the Crimson
veterans had been kept in the game they
could probably have scored nearly 100
points. At is was, nearly three elevcns
got into the play. The most ConspiCu-
Gus feature of the work done by the
new men was the feat of McKl7lock,
a substitute quarterback, in scoring a
field goal from the 4O-yard line Now
Harvard in addition to the Incompatible
drop kickers, Brickley and Mahan, has
found n third such kicker.
