Mamaux VS.. the Field

An argument came up the other day as
TO whether or not any pitching debutant
had ever drawn as brilliant a start as Al
MamauX, the Pittsburgh sensation.
Mathewson his first season out won 20
games and lost Il with a tailender. Alex
ander, starting in 1911, won 2S and lost l3
with a ball club up In the race through
August Ed Walsh and Miner Brown re-
quired several seasons to get started
properly up the steep paths Of renown.
The two closest approaches to
Mamauxs debut year were Russ Ford,
with the Yanks and King Cole with the
Cubs. in 1910 Ford that year won 25
games and dropped g. Cole won 20 and lost
3. But It is doubtful II either pitched at
the high level shown by the hashy Pitts
burgher this season. For while MamauN
has won something like IS games and
dropped only 4, II must be decalled that
the remainder of the staff including such
veterans as Adams, Harmon and Nc
Quillen. have been struggling on to hold
an even break on games won and lost.
This is fair proof that II has been the
fine pitching of MamauN rather than the
superior work of his mates that has been
mainly responsible for an average which
Is something beyond even that set up by
the redoubtable Alexander.

ENnerience

Those vino follow the fortunes Of sport
put experience under fire as one OF the
main winning factors Of any game. The
entry who has been over the high hurdles
and has fought his way to success
against the last test has a big edge
For this reason TrOyers or Ouimet
would be picked to beat Evans If either
should meet the Western star at Detroit
Travers and Oumet have each won an
open and an amateur championship.
Evans has yet TO win either-and the
first win is always counted as the hard
est.
In the same way the psychology of this
National Lengue race in many ways
favors the Braves. Phillies, Dodgers and
Pirates are now up against their first
rugged test through the stretch, where
the strain grows greater each passing
day, But the Braves have been over the
route before. This thing OF smashing
their way TO the front through the last
few whirls Is no new experience for
them. They took the same road no later
than last year. They proved then that
they could do IT, And that 1914 drive will
be a big aid In their present battle when
the race finally gets down TO the last few
weeks
