At the outset of the campaign
ing the ChiSox were rated the
weakest of the Western lot in the
Barnard circuit, and there is no
reason to believe they are not SO
now. The morale of the club was

mony and discipline at the train

Ted Lyons, Al Thomas, Grady Adkins
and the veteran spitballer, Urban

are right-handers. Southpaws with the

see are Bob Wieland and DAMN Dugan.
Wieland came up from the Moline club
of the Mississippi Valley League last
year. Dugan also was acquired last
year. being yanked from st. Louis Uni

of the relief hurting. Moe Berg, for

YANKEES HAVE JOB
Of STOPPING MACKS
No Other Club Is Up to Task.
Hugmen Going Strong
Without Ruth.

IF the Yankees keep up their present
pace, Babe Ruth can take his time
about getting back into the batting
4 order Eight victories in ten games
played is doing pretty well.
The only thing which deeply annoys
the New York team at present is that
the Athletics refuse to listen to reason.
Philadelphia is supposed to be due for
a slump, but it is long time coming.
What difference does it make how fast
you run if the fellow ahead Of you has
a big start and runs Just as fast as you
do? That's the way the Yankees feel
about the Mackmen.
Is Up to Yankees.
It becomes increasingly apparent that
if the Yankees want the Athletics stop
ped, Higgins and his men will have to
do the Job themselves. Their Saturday
of June % with the Athletics at the
Yankee Stadium in New York promise
to be we'll attended.
The Athletics certainly are going at
dizzy clip. A .77561 winning percentage
is past all reason. The highest winning
percentage since the National League
was organized in 1876 was the 1893
made by the Chicago Nationals in 1880.
The American League record is TIA,
nIduC ny bilC dIlkc6S III 49, q.
In 1908, Detroit won the American
League flag with a percentage of .588.
In 1926, st. Louis won the National
League banner with percentage of
.578.
Have Taken Six Flags.
The Philadelphia Athletics have won
six pennants. They won them in the
following years with the fe owing per-
centages:
1902, $40; 1905, .621; 1910, $50; 1911,
500; 1918, .627; 1914, .651.
So 1t may be seen that the best win
ming percentage of all those fine teams
was $50, made by club, which had on
it Davis, Collins. Barry, Baker, Hartsel,
Lord, Strunk, Murphy, Thomas, Lapp,
Bender, CoombS and Plank.
I doubt whether the present Mack
men are any stronger, or the opposition
any weaker. The Yankees won 101
games last year and lost SO, for a per-
centage of .656. Such a percentage of
victory should win the American League
flag this season. Either the Athletics
will go a bit slower as the season
progresses, or else Connie Mack has put
together the best outfit he has ever
led-a record-breaking, fence busting,
heart-cracking team.

initial sack, but there is no telling how
long Art will stick in the game. He Is
pugnacious character, apt to fight
himself out Of the paStiming any day.
1t was Shires who kicked over the traces
during the training season down in
Texas, and after he had been made
captain of the team, too. 1t was said
at the time that Art broke about every
training rule laid down by Manager
Blackburne, so he was not started at
first when the season opened
This did not help Shires' disposition
any, and later the temperamental tosser
got into more trouh1,. He engaged in
combat with Manager Blackburne in
the White Sox clubhouse in Chicago,
greatly to Blackburne'S physical dis
comfiture. After finishing with the
manager and offering to lick any one
else who did not like what he had
done, the blatant battler threatened to
chuck the club secretary out of the
Office window If his pay was withheld.
He left for home, though, without dam
aging any of the business officials, and
when his suspension ended returned to
the White Sox, seemingly much chas-
tened individual.
Shires Soug-t Griff Job.
Washington fans may not recall it.,
but Shires is the same player who,
under the name of Lowe, tried to get
job as first baseman with the Ma
tionals about four years ago. He re-
ported to the club while it was in ST..
Louis and worked out with it several
days. He had just come out Of high
school, and was little more than 10
years old Bucky Harris, then man
ager of the Nationals, considered the
job hunter too green to have around,
and he was not signed.
Shires, who is native of MaSsachl-
sets. but Texas reared, comes a base
ball family. An older brother, formerly
o Texas Lacquer, now manages strong
independent team. A younger brother
player in the infield for Mexia in the
Lone Star League last season, while two
others, twins, now in high school, are
about ready to break into the pro game.
