stance OF this was the recent thrilling

at such terrific speed that all records
Up to 400 miles were smashed The
strain on his engine was so severe, how
ever. that De Palma was forced to the
pits for nearly twenty minutes and dur.

trepid driver to push his machine
through. ''Howdy" defines driving quail
fications in these words "a driver with
out great courage Is like knife without

De Palma, like Wilcox, combines both
rare fighting ability with remarkable
mechanical talent. His victories have
been scored in some of the most sensa-
tional speed battles ever waged. West
ern speedways made repeated efforts to
arrange a competition between De Pal
ma and Wilcox, but were unsuccessful
when the famous Sheepshead Bay board

Was Not a Great Player.

In those days many fans. also numer-
Gus critics, regarded Moran as Just a
mediocre performer. carried along as
an emergency man, in the event any
thing happened to King. Pat never
was a great player. He was a good
thrower. but always was a poor bats
man. In his twelve years as an active
National League player Moran only hit
above $50 twice.
Pat came to the Philadelphia Ma
tionals in 1910, when the Phillies were
hard up for a catcher, and Charley Muir
ply and Horace Fogel were working
hand in glove. Moran filled in as extra
catcher on the Phillies until 1911. when
he slumped to 1874 for batter, but the
Philadelphia club retained him as coach
Of pitchers.
When William Baker the Philadelphia
president. let out Charles Doom as man.
ager in 1914 the only man available was
Pat Moran, coach of the team. When
Moran was hired the move was laughed
at by many PhiladelphiSns. Baker

Started Career in 1897.

Moran started his baseball career in
1897 with the old Lyons club of the New
York State League Pat broke in as Il
catcher and always remained one-
though he filled In at third base for
while on the Boston club In 1904.
Pat remained in Lyons two years and
m 1899 went to Montreal OF the old
Eastern League. After two seasons In
Canada he was purchased by the Bos-
ton Nationals in 1901. and Pat has been
a confirmed National Lacquer ever since.
He remained with the Braves from
1901 to 1905 inclusive, and the follow
ing year Moran was traded to the Cubs
in one OF the famous deals swung by
Charley Murphy and Frank Chance
shortly after Husk succeeded the great
Frank Selee as Cub manager.
In Chicago Pat never had great
deal to do. as Johnny king was then
IN his prime, and he looked after at
least a hundred games a year. But
Pat was always a smart fellow to have
around pitchers. and even In those days
inside baseball men gave him much Of
the credit for developing the great Cub
pitching STAFF OF that era.
However. the man in the street never
gave Pat his due at that time. 1t
wasn't until he made such a success OF
the Philadelphia club that Moran's
ability as a wise baseball tactician was
recognized.

threatening Giants Lead.

Even II Moran slips, he must be CIV
en- credit for giving Cincinnati the most
interesting baseball II has known in
generation. Furthermore his Reds,
after the Brooklyn crash, is the only
team that seriously Is threatening New
FORKS lead.
Moran Is proceeding along the same
lines In Cincinnati as he did when he
FIRST took the reins of the Philadelphia
club. He does his managing in a quiet.
unassuming way. He doesn't seem to
possess a great deal of pep and hasn't
much personality. But he has great
knowledge OF the inside Of baseball.
knows how to develop pitchers and when
to work them. and has that quality of
baseball leadership which seems to be
Inherent with so many men OF his race.
Among basebalrs most successful
leaders such Irish names as McGraw.
McGillicuddy. Hanlon. Carrigan and
Jennings occupy first rank.
Should Moran be the first man to win
. pennant in Cincinnati as he was the
frst man to win a National League
championship in Philadelphia he truly
would be baseball immortal.
Moran Is a real New England Irish
man. He was born in Fitchburg. Mass.
forty-three years ago, and Pat has been
loyal to the town Of his birth. No place
ever looked al good to him as Fitchburs
after the bell rang down the baseball
curtain in the fall.
