Young Pitchers

The same pitchers who looked so bad in
1915 probably will be mainstays of a staff
which will in time rival the famous corps
headed by the grand old trio of Bender,
Plank and Coombs, which Mack threw to
the winds.
Weldon Wyclsoff is to be the Bender of
tho new staff. 1t will be WyckoR who will
be the mainstay in the pinches and the
hurler around whom the staff will be built
The training season is about to commence
and the rest of the staff are of unknown
quality, excepting Bush and Bressler. who
will be stars or dubs this year, and we
vii venture to guess that Myers, Norris
sette. Richardson, Nabors and Ray are GO
ing to play an important part in the re-
constructing work of Mack this year
Myers Is certain to be a star If he has
any nerve at all. He has greater natural
ability than any right-handed pitcher Mack
has had in years. Morrissette is another
wonderful prospect. His International
League record does not look impressive,
but he has everything a pitcher needs to
develop into a star. Manager Mack de-
ClarcS Morrissette will be one of the best
pitchers in the country within a year IL
he can learn that baseball is a business
instead of play
Jack Dunn, who has handled Norris
settle at Baltimore, picked Morrissette as
the best prospect coming up to the major
leagues this year. Dunn intimated that
Morrissette Is hard to handle but MC.ck
has had great success with that type in
the past and is not worrying,

BY CHANDLER d. RICHTER

THE coming season will be the most i'm
L portant in the career of Connie Mack
builder of wonderful baseball machines
and the recognized genius of the national
game. Within the last Is months Mack
has wrecked completely the greatest base
ball machine a. all time and is now start
ing again to construct another
Baseball players, managers, scribes and
fans are of the opinion that Mack has
overeStmated his own ability and will
never be able to fight his way back TO the
top of the heap. but Connie insists that
he will have IL better team. within two
years, than the one he broke up.
Throughout his career, Mack has had
wonderful success with youngsters brought
into the majors without day of minor
league experience. Before Mack started
picking up youngsters from collegiate and
@'i''' 80 ranl.a and putting them into the
game, 1t was believed that it was impos.
sible for player to make good without
minor league experience, With but few
exceptions, all the players in the game
prior to 1901 had been picked from a
minor league or were sent to one for fur.

Macks COllegians
Mack completely revolutionizcd the
game by picking up and developing the
greatest team in the games history at n
cost Of less than $4,000 in money spent
for players, Collegians were frowned
upon until Mack produced Plank. Bender,
Coakey Fultz, Coombs, Collins, Barry,
Mclnnis, Il. Murphy and others. Now a
large percentage of the men in the game
are collegians.
The rest of the good men who played
prominent parts in the winning of pen
nants cost Mack little He discovered and
developed them himself Many of them
were passed up by other clubs and pur-
chased by Mack for $500 or less. Amos
Strunk, one of the greatest outfieders in
the game. was picked up playing with the
"Sparrows" in Fairmount Park: Baker
cost Mack $3.50 Wally 'Schang was gotten
for $500, the draft price, although 10
other clubs were after him; Ira Thomas
was gift so was Morgan, Dygert Shaw
key and others who have played an i'm
portant part in past successes of the
Mnckmen.
AIaclts career sounds like fiction, and,
though the whole country appears to be-
lieve that the Athletics will remain in the
rut for years, We are inclined to believe
that 1917 will again find Mack with a
wonderful team 1t may not have the
necessary balance 10 come through a PEN

Much Too Late

But the league officials failed to pro-
q reasonable time by not moving up the
league dates. Lon TOurdet. coach of the
Penn team, is of the opinion that it is
rather late in the season to be arranging
a series Of games. Such games. he says,
could not be played off in less than three
weeks, that the weather would be too
warm and that the patrons would not re-
main interested that long.
Consequently the intercollegiate Bas-
ketball League race of l915-19l6 will re-
main a tie between Pennsylvania and
Princeton, This is the first time in eight
years that Pennsylvania has reached first
place, and it is the first time in Prince
ton athletics that a Tigertown team ever
got above third place.

Penn Refuses

Therefore even if Princeton is willing
to play Il series of games. and even
should the intercollegiate basketball ofli-
cials suggest that Il series be played to
determine which team is the better, Penn
sylvana will not play Should Princeton
