CONNIE MACK BOOSTS BURRUS
Player Bought Mainly to Take Place
Of Burns ls Best Youngster He
Has Seen In Years.

Connie Mack declares he has picked
up the most promising looking ball
player that has broken into the Ameri-
can league since George Sisler arrived.
Burrus, the first baseman he bought at
Columbia, S. c., Is the man he boasts
of. On his way back to Philadelphia
from Columbia, Connie stopped off in
Washington and in conversation with
the Indians extolled the abilities Of
his new initial sacker.
"He can do anything any ball play
er can do" said the long manager.
"He can hit, run the bases and field.
He has few small faults, but all of
them can be eliminated easily by eX-
perience. And he is smart. He grad
uated this year from North Carolina
A. and. M. university, and from what
hear has none Of the eccentricities
with which most of the left handlers
are afflicted.
That Connie should 60 looking for a
first baseman when he had George
Burns, whose batting was such SEN
sation last year, on his team, may be a
great surprise to many, but Burns is
emphatic evidence that a ball player
can have a sudden reversal Of form.
Burrus was bought especially to
displace the former Detroit player.

JACKSONVILLE TAKES THIRD
GAME FROM WALK OVERS.
(By D. H. Vinet)

The Shipbuilders seem to have
struck their winning stride again.
This time the Walk Overs were the
victims of a score of to 2.

the best that he had in him, and
that's something hard TO beat. He

scratch variety, little easy chances

have been felded with ease.
The visitors scored their two runs
in the first on Koepp's error, Dit

Gerber's sacrifice fly. After this the
visitors at no time even threatened
to score.
Warning held them in check from

Warning we must say that he pitch
ed far better ball than some Of the
imported pitchers that MadisonVille
has had in the past. Only one man
got as far as second base (When Jor-

The Shipbuilders got to Mathis in
the first, piling up five of their seven
runs. Koepp, first man up, went out
pitcher to first. Johnson singled,
Fassman out on fly to short, McWil-
liams singled, Johnson going to

We hate a repetition of boosting,

fielding at times was indeed spec
tacular, to say the least. We feel
confident whenever a ball is hit any

as he has been through the last few
seasons and, although he has not in
vaded the 300 circle in batting, he is
sure to arrive up there in the early
future Furthermore, Collins has more
to do with infusiEg spirit of co-opera-

Few pitchers who have come into

one fault which he should overcome,

Confidence in Fheir own abilities has
made great bali players out of many
who otherwise would have been only
ordinary majors leaguers. There is
probably no greater example of this
than the case Gs Ty Cobb, much Of his
super-succeSs being attributed to this
trait
Ehmke has the same confidence and
deserves credit for it. But he must
learn to curb it. to permit it to as
sert itself at orsy the proper time and
only in the right way. Too much of
IL often provCikes carelessness and
that has been the only drawback to
Ehmke's pitching so far. 1t prevents
him from taking the opposing club Sc
riously enough.
This feature sof his play has been
in evidence frequently this season, and
1t bobbed up again Sunday. He did
not seem to exert himself enough at
the start Of ths game, and before he
had settled down Washington had
scored a run irt the first inning. One
run is a lot to give Walter Johnson.
After that Ehmke sailed along at
top speed, and as long as he was care
full and steady the Senators could do
nothing with him. He permitted him.

FASSMAN GETS OFFER FROM
BIG LEAGUE.

Wallace Fassman, center fielder
for jacksonville Baseball Team, has
received all excellent offer from the
Western Baseball Association. The
offer comes from an Oklahoma team
and is said to be SO tempting that
Wallace cannot see his way clear to

to the baseball game we advise him
to accept, and he has our best wishes
