CUBS LEAD OFF MAN
 IS ONE OF THE BEST
Max FIack Has All the Needed
 Qualifications.
Chicago outfieIder Is Steady Hitter. Fast Runner and Patience to Wait Out Pitcher-Reaches First
 Base Frequently.

Lucky is the club that has good lead-off man. Heretofore this was considered one of the most important positions in the batting order, but the managers of today do not seem to look at 1t in that light, for there are few irst-class lead-off men in the major leagues. The player placed at the head of the list not only has to be a steady hitter, but must have the ability to wait out the pitcher and has to have speed. These qualifications are necessary, which makes it diff cult for. managers to find a man to fill the bill.
 One of the cleverest lead-off men in the National league is Max Flack of the Cubs. He has all the qualifications mentioned and one more-he is short and puzzle to pitchers, says a writer in Chicago News. When Man ager, Mitchell was chosen to succeed Joe Tinker he quickly realized the pos abilities in Flack as head of the bat ting order. Tinker had him hitting

ENTERTAINMENT JOE"
 RAPED.

The Sporting News, of recent date, takes hard rap at our own Joe Dugan, and comments as follows:
 Joe Dugan, famous bucking broncho, was i'll the glare all week. Dugan went to Lebanon, Friday, and was supposed to have signed a contract to play with the Lebanon team of the Bethlehem Steel league. But there is no way of doping out the cratic ones intentions. He came back to Philadelphia patched up his differences with Mack. The tall tutor was very evasive in discussing the case and 1t led to a lot of wild specula- ton.
 "Dugan quit the game Wednesday. The official cover-up was that he was too i'll to play. Lebanon correspondents quickly wired the truth to Philadelphia papers. Local fans are fast becoming disgusted with Dugan's capers and 1t Is no secret that many wished he would jump and stay jumped.
 While Dugan was out of action Dykes played brilliantly at second and Mack left him there when Dugan re- turned, sending the latter to third in place of Fred Thomas. Mack has been compelled to shift Dykes back and forth all season but it has never affected his playing Worth.'

AS" LOUIE" WOULD SAY

Bobby Stow, the former New Haven scoho1 boy, is playing whir1wind game at short for the Fort Worth team, of the Texas league. Forth Worth is leading the league by good margin.
 Joe Pope, who used to cover short for New Haven several years ago, is doing the honors for Shreveport, in the same league, and is whaling the ball for keeps.
 Bobby Orr, the old Cedar Hill boy, now with the Waterburians, makes himself dis1iked by his actions on the field, and is razzed continually by the New Haven fans.
 Red Torphy and Marty Shay nuts be related to Andy Coakley, else why all the publicity Both Torphy and Shay are good men, but there are a few other teams with pretty nifty men, too.
 As 1ead-off man "Midge" Gillespie is about the best in the league, and somebody will have a hard time con- vincing the fans otherwise.
 With Marty Donahue, Dutch" Otto, "Sibby" McNerney, in the Firemen's league the coppers will have to be on their toes all the time, when the fire laddies and police teams open their series.
 Hugh High, one of the most popular players in the old Connecticut league, is covering the center garden for Yer non, and is helping Vernon to lead the Pacific Coast league Hal Maggert, an- other old favorite, was the lead-of man for Salt Lake, the runner up, until he got in trouble last week, when he was internationally released.
 The scheme of President O'Nei1 to have the champs of the Eastern and International leagues play a series for the minor league championship of the east has met with the hearty approval of press and public.
 
 The challenge sent to President Dave Fultz of the International will no doubt be accepted, as the Eastern league Is looked upon as one Of the strongest minor leagues in the country.
 And then, again, picture the baseball we will get from now until the curtain fa11s-every team fighting for the chance to participate in the honors- $ $ 5 5 -that go with post-season series.

NOT ALL IN THE BALL.

As matter of plain, unvarnished fact" writes a fan, isn't Babe Ruth's phenomenal record partly due to the livelier ball ?"
 Consider first these facts Last sea- son was Ruth's first campaign as a regular, where he was able to play over 100 ball games. In that first extended test he broke the record with % home runs and no mention was made of a lively ball.
 It is only natural that he should go better this season.. with the shorter right field fence as target on his home field.
 Consider also this fact Ruth alone has made more runs than any other entire team in either of the major leagues. He has made more home runs than the entire Cleveland club has, or the White Sox, or the Giants, or any

When the Cleveland team, known as '.The Spiders, and led by Patsy Tabeau, came in contact with the Baltimore bunch the fur always flew and the urnpires had to be up and doing all the time.

Mays is a good fellow, and don't believe he would try to hit batsman any more than would Walter Johnson.
