was when he quit the Germantown
Eastern League five to join the phillies
here.
Neale Is Secret
Ncalc still is retcent concerning his
contract with the Phils. lie refuses to
state whether he will leave the clrb in
September to coach Washington and
jefferson or whether he will remain
until the season is over. He said that
this information should come from some
one higher up. The men highest up here
are Bill Donovan and Bill Shcttsine.
Neither of them knows what is in Neale's $
contract, according to their statements
yesterday. so If President Baker does
mot volunteer the information, 1t will
remain secret.
Ancnt Baker and Donovan. there
is going to be a new system at the
Phillies' office in the matter of handling
recommendations from scouts. Accord
ing to those who have been closely
connected with the inner workings of
the Phils in the last year or two, the
method was this: The scout would
write to the manager and the man
ager would promptly tear up the letter
without ever showing it to President
Baker or without informing him of its
contents. In this way there is no doubt
that the Phils lost good many good
men who should now be on the club.
Hereafter all communications from
scouts concerning prospective material
will 60 to President Baker. Bill DOno-
van will confer with Baker. They will
discuss the prospects together and come
to q mutual conclusion.

ATHLETICS READY 7
TO TACKLE GIANTS
At LAKE CHARLES
Mackites a Different Team When
Atlanta Is Shut Out With
Single Hit
GUY0N, INDIAN GRID
STAR, IN LINEUP

SEcctdl Dispatch IN Evening Pubic Ledger
Lake Charles. La, March 25.-Much
encouraged over their return to form
yesterday when they beat the Atlanta
team Of the Southern Association 9
to 0, the Athletics are out to mop up
Jawn McGraws first string team OF
Giants here this afternoon.
This is the second and last game
that Lake Charles will see this year.
The bout between the Yanks and the
Cardinals packed them In n short time
ago and It is believed that the contest
this, afternoon will result in another
profitable gate. The local associa tion
injects some added interest In the affair
by giving every ticket buyer a chance
to guess the correct score. The one
guessing that correct score or the one
guessing the nearest to 1t will receive l
per cent of the gross receipts.
That's why every fan is busy trying
to dope out the result; they will all
guess and make n bid to win the prize
money.
Connie Mack's only advice is that
they make their guess on the Athletics
to win by some score. but the tall
tutor refuses to predict what 1t Is
koihk W Nv. JOG l'uRuH nclptu StNtiui
guessers with some gratuitous advice.
lie said. Guess the Macks will win
to l and you will be right"
AS a Different Team
The Athletics we're a transformed
team yesterday when they won after
losing six games in row. While about
it, the Macks came through in hollow
style. They never gave Atlanta a
look in.
The pitching of Roy Moore. the left :
handler, and Robert IIasty, the giant
righthander. was superfne. In nine
innings only two Atlanta players
reached base. Schmidt opened the third
with single and it was the only
Georgia blow of the game. The previous
session Munson had reached first on
Dugan's error. No others reached base.
and the solitary hit and boot were made
in his term. Iasty worked the last
four sessions and blankcd Atlanta in
order during his entire attack.
Moreover. there was not one hard hit
ball or difficult fielding chance offered
Moore and Ilasty were so good that the
Georgians only flubbed the ball around
the infield IL they hit at ALL OF the
twenty mine players who faced this pair.
twenty-siX were retired on infeld outs
or famed. Only one fly ball was hit
during the entire game.
Both pitchers had perfect control and
the way they bent the ball was ire
sistible.
In contrast to their spiritlcss work
of previous days the Macks were on
their toes and wide awake at all times.
They hit Brewer and Wheat, the At

over their victory OF Wednesday, but
had nil the bombast taken out Of them
yesterday afternoon.
Joe Guyon In Center
Joe Guyon, the Indian, covered cen =
ter for Atlanta. Guyon Is the former
star football player of the Georgia
Tech eleven. Last fall he played with
Jim Thorpe's professional team which
appeared in Philadelphia In one game.
Guyon Is n bright young man and
good talker. This Is my first pro-
fessional venture in baseball" he said,
and 1t Is only IN experiment with me.
/ had no idea that brainwork cut such
an important part in baseball. l
thought 1t was merely a slash and bang
game of trying to bat runs home, but
] find that 1t Is more like a chess game
between two skillful players.
You have to have brains to play
baseball and IL IL marvellous what tac.
tics are employed In the game. l an
comparatively green, but l nm goinl
to study hard and I believe l have O
good chance to succeed"
Guyon could do nothing with Moore
or Hasty yesterday, but that applied
to his mates ns well. lie said he never
saw such pitching as Moore and Hasty
served up. This Redskin student, keer
to master the intricacies of the game
had long talks with Moore and Hasty
Mt the hotel after the game, In which
he asked their advice on how TO hit the
kind of pitching they showed him.
