there are times when these are re-
flected in what passes for the
artistic phases of the business,
meaning the playing end.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson Is presi-
dent of the club. He is also the
manager of the club. And If you
listen to Judge Steve McKeever he
is a terrible president ard even
worse as a manager.
n
The Judge owns so per cent of
the clubs stock. Uncle Wilbert is
fronting for the Ebbetts estate,
holding the other so per cent.
II n
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS
UNCLE WILBERT AND THE JUDGE HAVE
BEEN GETTING ALONG LIKE A COUPLE
or RIVAL CHICAGO BEER RUNNERS
FROLICKING IN A PINEAPPLE GROVE.
THEY HAVE BEEN ON SPEAKING
TERMS, BUT ONLY A STUDENT OF AD-
VANED PROFANITY COULD FIND ANY
THING INTERESTING IN THEIR RE-
MARKS.
THIS is the year Uncle Wilbert's
l. contract as president-manager
expires, and I am told the last thing
the Judge does before leaving his
office these days is to draw a Grim
son circle around the calendar date
while he mutters gleefully to him
self, zone more day."
Several weeks ago committee
of peace loving citizens attempted
to bring the two together at a
baseball function at the Waldorf.
Uncle Wilbert was persuaded to
take the initiative and he waddled
up to the Judge, stuck out an I'M
certain paw and said: "COme on
and shake, we've been fools long
enough"
"WFsVE BEEN WHAT?" THUNDERED
THE JUDGE. TURNING THREE SHADES

all the two belligerents have known

Il Il
The show down comes this year
and either Uncle Wilbert will be

the air in unstinted proportions.
THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE AIR

THREE IN HOT FIGHT
FOR A. A. STICK TITLE

CHICAGO, September IA (P.-Tony
Cuccinello and Marty Callaghan are
doing their utmost to move the Ameri-
can Association batting championship
to Columbus. Unofficial figures show
the Senator pair to be deadlocked for
the top, with averages of 1853, with
Dusty Cooke of st. Paul, who paced the
field most Of the season, 4 points back.
Callaghan jumped from fourth place
to o tie with his teammate by picking
up points during the week while
Cuccinello was losing 2. Cooke SUI
fered q loss Of points and dropped to
1854. Otis Miller, Milwaukee second
baseman, made the biggest gain, inn
proving his average Is points to Jump
from thirteenth to fifth position. Be-
hind Cuccinello, Callaghan and Cooke
were Simons, Louisville, .347; 0. Miller,
Milwaukee, .343; Seeds. Kansas City,
.342; Chapman. st. Paul. 1888; Tucker,
Kansas City, 1888; Camel, Louisville,
1913; Rogell. st. Paul. .332.
Cuccinello also led in runs scored,
with zoe, and had collected 81 doubles
for another top mark. Cooke and
Chapman, the slugging Saints duo,
were engaged in a great tussle for home
run and runs batted in honors. Each
had sent over 1913 runs, and Cookies 20
circuit smashes gave him an edge OF
one over Chapman. Joe Kuhel of
Kansas City was in front. with "a
triples, and 81 stolen bases gave Frank
Emmer of Minneapolis q comfortable
margin over the field.
The collective batting Of st. Paul suf-
fered a loss of point, but the Saints
remained in the whip seat, with mark
Of .305.
Toledo and Columbus were tied in
second place, with .299 each, loss Of
points for the Mud Hens and 3 for
the Senators.
Alex Campbell Of st. Paul turned in
one victory and was beaten once dur
ing the week, giving him record Of
IL wins and 3 defeats, the best mark
among the regulars. wilkinson Of
Louisville had the best week. being ac-
credited with three triumphs, which
boosted him into second place behind
Campbell, with II won and lost.
Poli and Belts of st. Paul each at
tanned 20 victories during the week, but
the former had dropped 8 decisions
and the latter 10.
Kansas City,s handling of the ball
went bad and the Blues suffered loss
Of points from their average and
skidded from first to seventh place.
Louisville, indianapolis and Toledo were
tied for first in team fielding. with
averages Of .967. The Mud Hens turned
out six double plays and led the cir
cult by a big margin, with 174.

ct those who taunt me about putting
my foot in the water bucket"
AS to Keep Hustlins.
From this point on to the end Of the
pennant race, hope and expect the
Athletics won't have any big worries.
We don't intend to take things easy.
Manager Mack wants us to keep on
hustling and trying to win every game
decisively. It would be mistake to be-
come careless and Indifferent now that
1t seems we have the pennant won.
However, think IT'S going to be a
who'll lot easier to play good, hard ball
-Ele kind that will have us in physical
and hghttng shape for the world series
when we don't have to think about
holding a lead. There is some strain
on team so long as the mathematical
chance is fully alive and ready to kick
up a fuss.
There Is an incentive for us to give
the best we have to beat the st. Louis
Browns. our opponents from the West
next week. The Browns can win the
seasons series from us by taking the
four games we have with them.
Dan Howley has several right.hand
pitchers tough for us to beat this time,
just as they have been In the past We
should gain confidence to swing against
those Cub pitchers we hear so much
about If we can club down fellows like
Sam Gray. Al Crowder, Rip Collins and
Johnny Ogden.
Believe me, the Chicago White sox
have some right-hand pitchers who
have bothered us-Ted Lyons, Tommy
Thomas, Red Faber, Hal McKain. The
Sox twice won three games of a series
Of four from us and when they arrived
In Philadelphia this last time we stood
eyen-up on the seasons battles, each
Of us having won nine.
No Pre-Series Alibis.
You bet we gave the Chicago team
of our league all the ammunition we
had in shop. We didn't try to keep
any in reserve for the Chicago team OF
the National League. We hoped to inn
press the Cubs by our showing against
the other major league club from ILL
nois.

of that Charley horse" by the time
the big series opens october 8. That
will mean full strength for us. Prob
ably there will be some resting Of our
regulars after we finish with st. Louis
next week. This may stir up the usual
run of bear stories
But take it from me, that as we stack
up right now we have our full strength,
rarin' to 60. I can't foretell what may
happen between now and october 8, but
If we have fair share Of the luck
the Athletics will be represented In the
world series by, team that has no
pre-series alibis to offer In case we get
thrashed.
