COURAGE Of MACKS
NOW UNQUEST|ONED
Comics 15-Yeaf Struggle to.
Build Flag Winner Seems
Near Success.
BY GEORGE MORIARTY,
Big League Umpire.

@HE much-heralded five-ganne
series between the Yankees and
Philadelphia Athletics is stored
L away on the shelf of base bah
history, but the echoes Of those
memorable battles have yet to die away.
Those games were not merely played
they were fought tooth and nall
and chin. to be exact.
The Athletics invaded the Yankee
Stadium with a fire they have never
before exhibited. While the series
ended without showing sweeping gain
In the percentage column for either
team, it abounded with scintillating
plays and thrills.
The series demonstrated perceptibly
two outstanding facts: That Connie
Mack has welded together truly great
ball team which seems to realize Its
punch, and that the Yankees are put
ting UP gallant battle to keep from
being driven of their championship
throne. Although the Yankees have
always been credited with the highest
quality of courage, the punch-trading
gameness of the Athletics cannot be
questioned after the glaInourous series.
This series showed that Herb PEN
mock has not yet regained his old form.
Manager Higgins ganely started him
in the opening contest, with the hope
of using him as relief pitcher before
the series was over, but Pennock was
unable to check the murderouS Mack
men. The fact that Manager Higgins
left Heimach in the box till seven runs
were made of him accentuates the
lack of Yankee pitching.
Manager Mack, on the other hand,
has both quantity and quality with
which to Jockey and fill out pitching
assignments. However, believe that
Lefty Groves seyen-hit game, and the
undisturbed manner In which he labor
ed buoyed Connie Mack more than
any other feature OF the entire series,
because, heretofore, Groves fire-ban
has been meat for the Yankees bats.
That great trio. Simmons, Foxx and
Cochrane, are In their ascendency.
particularly with the bludgeon. Oppos-
ing pitchers fear them more than ever.
In Fridays double header. Simmons
crashed out eight hits. IN nine times at
bat, which included two home runs and
two doubles.
It has taken Connie Mack IS years to
build his particular type Of pennant
possibility. In disposition and action.
1t Is q replica of his old championship
team. It is content, to function in q
quiet and unassuming manner, saying
1t with bats and pitchers.
Mack will not have bad actor on
his club: perhaps that Is why 1t has
taken him Is years tnxn mold q team
after his own heart and makeup.

"MURDERERS' ROW"
. OF YANKEES FADES.
Big Reason Why Team Is Not
in Better Position in
Pennant Chase.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

IN K URDERERS' ROW." that
30 Nh famous lineup of heavy
V sluggers whose bats pushed
4 4 Miller Higgins and his
Yankees into the seats of
the mighty in base ball, is dwindling
as Father Time takes his toll.
1t is the big reason why the Yankees
are not on their way to their fourth
pennant. Although IL has been hard
case, yet perforce he is coming to
realize that the King of Swat and his
| minions can no longer whang out the
hits as they did.
Not Certain of Ruth.
The Ruthian home run, once accepted
as matter of course, has now become
ago 1t was said that Babe Ruth could
not miss. Now everybody smiles hope
fully and helpfully every time he does
| get clout for the whole route.
Another Murderers' Row is in the
| making. When Connie Mack's team
wants runs, it turns to George Haas,
Gordon Cochrane, AL Simmons, Jimmy
Foxx and Ed Miller to bat them out
| and to Jimmy Dykes to clean up the
| situation. Mack put Jack Boley back
| to play short, but Dykes was too good
at the bat to let out of the game, so he
put him at third to take Sam Hale's
| place.
In the past Lou Gehrig and Baba
Ruth have won games for the Yankees
and generally made themselves the
heroes of the local diamonds, but sc
far this year that pair of willow weild-
ers have proved no more useful to
their team than have Foxx and Sim
mons to the Athletics And Cochrane
is also helping the Athletics. He is
/ keeping up his stride this year in fine
shape.
Lazzeri Comes Through.
The big saviour for the Yankees has
failed, he has come through in fine
shape. The Yankees condition was
well shown In the performance of the
| players In Florida. Lazzeri was hitting
when Ruth, Gehrig and MeuSel were
not. That Is still the case.
The Yankees did not put enough into
| their Spring training games. Batting
| practice suffered supposedly through
| over-confldence, although 1t certainly
cannot be said that Miller Higgins
did not know what threatened his
worlds champion team.
But batting practice has to have
1 endeavors OF the batters. Paul Waner's
form when he reported late to Pitts
burg showed the lack Of such practice
| in very striking manner. It took
/ him month to demonstrate that he
! had any value as q natter.
| So, taken all In all; ~ does not look
as II 1880 will be very popular year In
| the camp of the Yankees for the re-
newal of contracts.

The Robins punched eight of their

Rube Bressler was the batting star
with four straight singles that account

In the only other National League
engagement the Chicago Cubs salvaged
one game out of the Pittsburgh series
