MACK BENCHES

Paul Strand Idle, While Har-

For Sale

PHILADELPHIA, May Coon
ME Mack has benched Paul Strand
and. according to strong rumors
here, is dickering with another
American League club to sell Bryan
Harriss and Bob Hasty, two Of his
pitchers.
The benching of Strand is not
expected to be permanent. Connie
Mack says he believes the former
Pacific Coast Lacquer can hit when
he gets started, but that he has
been in a slump ever since the open
ing of the season. He means giving
him a rest for at least ten days.
The AS manager admits diSap-
pointment over the failure Of
Harriss and Hasty to come through.
They have had five years Of expert
ence with the Mackmen, but have
never really made good.

Baseball is our national game.
How much craftsmanship is shown
in it? The players certainly don't
show much. The crowd certainly
doesn't, with its massed attacks
upon players and the officially
appointed umpires.
One day a veteran of Verdun,
carrying an artificial jaw ruined
by German bullet, climbed
through the ropes of a ring at the
Polo Grounds in New York. He
was the legitimate featherweight
champion of the world through his
victory in the same ring over
Johnny Kilbane.
The moment he entered that
ring he was the target for boots
and jeers. AS long as he was able
to stand on his feet, battered and
bleeding under the blows from
Johnny Dundee that New York
crowd booed and insulted Eugene
Criqui.
True, the treatment accorded
Criqui was soundly criticized by
American writer's, just as French
writer's have FASTENED to criticize
the treatment given the American
football players at Colombes.
Decent people are decent every
where, no matter what their
nationality or the provocatlon.
Mobs are mobs, no matter where
they may be, or Of what nation
atty.
There was a mob once which,
drunk with power proved by years
of triumph, attempted to override
young man lately placed in
charge Of Paris, the greatest city
in Europe. AS that mob surged
up the boulevard and poured
through the side streets toward
the Madeleine it laughed as it saw
guns facing it. And when that
mob insisted on capturing those
guns and killing their commander
he ordered the gunners to fire
and they did and four discharges
scattered that Partisan mob and
made Napoleon Bonaparte en-
peror of the French.
Mobs are mobs, whether in Paris
or New York. 1t i'll behooves New
York writer's to bawl out that
booing mob in Paris last Sunday,
unless they have absolutely no
sense of humor whatever.
To our own mind, the attitude
of the American football team is
the best connected with the entire
incident. The authorities offered
protection and those big Califor-
mans grinned and decided they
could take care Of themselves, and
did, walking out Of the stadium
through the crowd without moles-
tation. Yes, they were pretty big
| fellows, but when the time comes
that an American athlete ccnl-
peting in the Olympic games has
to be protected on his way tn his
hotel, whether it be in Paris or
London or Stockholm or Rome or
Leningrad las it is now called,
or anywhere else, America has
fallen upon evil times. The paci-
fists will have conquered. Pro-
hibition will be fact. The end
will have come.

On the eve Of going to. Florida
Chance became i'll and Johnny
Evers, signed as his assistant, was
placed in charge of the White Sox,
who were training at Writer
Haven, not so many miles away
from the Griffs. AS the weeks
passed different dates were named
for Chance to join his team until
finally the season opened.
Chance, watching the White
Sox and New York Giants play an
exhibition game on Sunday before
the opening Of the season, was
stricken again and went to the
hospital: The upshot was tnat he
was ordered back to California.
1t is doubtful if he will ever re-
turn to fast company in any
capacity.
Finally, convinced that Chance
was done, Comiskey appointed
Johnny Evers his manager. Only
couple of weeks ago came
rumors to the effect that the play
ers on the Chicago club wercj not
giving Evers the best they had
because they wanted Collins named
manager. Of course, this story
was denied, as it probably should
have been.
The other day Evers went to
bed with his appendix raising
cain. He vent to his home in
Troy, where he was operated upon.
Now it is said he may be unable
to get about until August, and so
Eddie Collins, the same hard-work-
ing second baseman and captain
Of the team, has been placed in
charge Of the Chicago club.
For years Collins has been con-
sidered the leading second base
man in the major leagues. Today
frankie Frisch is giving HIM a
tussle for the honors, but Collins
continues to play great bail and
his admirers can't see the Giants
captain.
Two years ago Collins expected
to be traded to New York, where
he was to succeed Miller Higgins
as manager of the Yankees. lie
admits his disappointment when
the deal fell through.
Today Collins is managing the
White Sox. True, he is acting
manager during the enforced alb
sence of Johnny Evers. But, sup
pose the White Sox become win
ners under his leadership? Will
Comiskey again place Evers in
charge Of the team? Few think so.
Fate has taken its time with
Collins, but he is now in charge
Of a big league team, just the
same.

Asked for the promised statement
he was to make on the Baker con-
troversy upon his return to New
York, our McGraw said:
Baker waited until got to st.
Louis before making his statements.
III wait until get to Philadelphia
before answering him. I may have
something to say that will interest
him."
The National League schedule
calls for the Giants TO appear in
Philadelphia for two games on
Memorial Day. The promised
meeting of McGraw and Baker,
therefore, is eight days removed.
IL it wasn't for the fact that the
McGraw-Baker situation reflects
on the integrity of baseball, the
writer could cheerfuIly wait eight
years.
Speaking Of his ball club and its
fall from first to third place while
on the road, McGraw said that the
team was playing even worse than
the box scores indicated. He
blamed the uncertain weather for
the fact that the Giants had failed
to maintain their early speed, claim
ing that cold weather had retarded
pitching develoment and that lack
OF morning practice had stopped the
hitting.
The Chicago Cubs, he added, were
the best team he had seen this
season. but admitted that the Pirates
and Reds were yet to come under
his well-known observation.
