AL Manaux Masked
Star Shown Friday
BY NJ. E. BROWN.

What has the year in store for AL
Mamaux, the big league pitcher whose
picture was printed yesterday in our
fiu-masked player contest?
Baseball men agree that when
Mamaux wants to be he Is one of the
best hurlers in the game. But the
trouble with Mamaux the last couple
of seasons has ben that he hasn't
cared much, apparently, about his
work
In the first place his appetite had
more Of hold on him than his mana
ger did. He was rapidly eating him
self out of baseball when the war
came on
AL was pitching at the pace he
ought to KEEP in 1916. He won twenty
one and lost fifteen games that sea-
son for the Pirates, a second division
outfit. He participated in forty-five
battles and hurled twenty-six COM
plete games, a good record consider
ing the fact that the Pirates were a
losing club and the pitchers were
yanqed on little provocation.
He held the opposition to eighty
seven earned runs, allowing them an
average of less than three game.
He famed 1853 men, which shows
that he had the stuff. He was credit
ed with 1876 passes, too, but the fact
that he let loose only three wild
heaves and hit only nine batsman in
dicates that he wasn't wildman, by
any means.
1 will tell you what happened the
next season.
1t was happy day for the opposi-
ton swatsmen when Al mounted the
hill for the Pirates. They sent word
home to KEEP supper waiting and start
ed pounding him. He pitched a total
of eighty-six innings and was nicked
for ninety-two hits and fifty-nine runs.
The runs averaged over five a game
He wound up the last hurler in the
list of those who pitched in ten or
more complete games.
And last season with the Dodgers
he broke into two games and failed
to win either. Then he jumped the
game and was barred from the big
leagues by the national commission
That body recently reinstated him
and AL has said that he wants to do
comeback. He says he's right and
will keep himself right. So he'll be
back in a Dodger uniform this season.

SATURDAY BASEBALL
PROSPECT PROMISING

The outlook for Saturday afternoon
baseball looks good to Sam S. Viz
gran this year. Prospects for a good
league in the field were never better"
he said, Saturday.
With the return of a large number
Of the S. A. l.. players, many Of whom
played on regimental teams and camp
teams, S. A. l.. fans are predicting
some of the best exhibitions of the
Saturday afternoon pastime ever put
out by the league. Many of the 1918
players who were in the service and
some of the 1917 season men are back
and are better able to handle the bali
in good form because of their train
ing.
Phil Roser, former outfielder in
the Saturday Afternoon league in
1917, is back and fit for the game.
Roser more than hit the calcium light.
He batted against none other than
Grover Cleveland Alexander in
France The fact that he did not even
foul the ball does not natter Out
If three times up he took three
straight swings each time.
Roser made the regimental team in
France, having been chosen from ap-
proximately 1000 other possible pros
poets to play the outfeld.
Paul Witte played on the depot bri-
gade team at Camp Taylor. Among
those who have returned are Russell
Gier, Lawrence Ching McConaha,
Bulldog" Reynolds, Bill Henseler,
and "Cy'' Fitzgibbons.
There are only two things troubling
the Saturday Afternoon league man
ayers after the announcement and ap-
proval of the schedule next Monday
night. They are: Where will the
league play and who will umpire the
games. An attempt will be made to
get these matters settled as soon as
possible.
