that it paid to drive player no mat

Earlier in my career as manager

as tough customers and as very diff

Macks success at developing young
players, fro mthe colleges and sandlots,
always has been conspicuous. He re-
GREETED the day when he was forced
by competition to abandon much of
this policy for the necessity of buying
stars.
His unfailing patience encouraged
youngsters. He never forgot that he
once was obliged to struggle himself,
against handicaps, to make good.
Give every youngster the fullest
chance possible" he once said. Then
give him two or three more. During my
playing career I saw many youngsters
come up for trial who looked like future
stars-yet they failed because they were
not given proper chance.
Very few of the youngsters who made
up the Athletics of 1910-14 looked like
stars in their earliest trials. Some of
them Numbered. but they eventually
found themselves"
FREQUENTLY it has been said that
l. Mack played lunches" but Ty
Cobb after two seasons under the "tall
tutor" remarked:
"If you call 'em lunches when they
are based on the greatest background of
detailed knowledge have ever had con-
tact with, all right"

keen a grasp Of base balls swift.moving

affairs after so long a term as manager,
and ct an age when most elderly gentle
men prefer ease or golf to directing an
exciting ball game from a hard, hot
bench. The man who has perhaps been
closest on the field to the old master
replied:
you know, it never ceases to amaze
me-the real enthusiasm that Mr.. Mack
retains. OF course. he has forgotten
more about the game than most of us
will ever know, yet he retains the mem
DRY of everything essential. The style
Of play has changed, but Mr.. Mack has
kept up with 1t. I have never seen any
one so consistently keen in sizing up
situations and plays, so able in han
ding g variety of players, many of
them temperamental-it is almost un-
canny."
THE only symbol of the Mack system
Il visible to the public eye is his
famous score card. With It, like field
marshal with his baton, he has de-
ployed his AS for 80 years. He keeps
score by his own method, he explained,

ut Is seldom forget what a man
has done as the innings go by, but If I
do and there Is an important decision

check. I'd be lost without It,"

for the different hitters and while per-

continue to hear lot about Lefty
Grove and his stuff. He must be
pretty good pitcher, all right, but did
put a team in the field with only one
left-handed batter and that would be
Jim Bottomley, and If anybody thinks
Jim Is a fish against left handlers he's
just all wrong
Douthit, Adams, Frisch. Hafey, Blades,
Wilson or Mancuso, Colbert and our
pitchers are right-handed batters. Even
Hallahan bats right handed, so Wen
have at least that much of the per-
centage in our favor when we face
Grove; And what IL We get Grove and
we've got the edge. We've got five
pitchers all ready to go, and therefore
were better equipped to use our pinch
hitters, because IL We take q pitcher out
for batter we know that we have
several other hurlers who can 20 in
there and pitch without weakening our
defense. On the other hand, If Mack
has only three pitchers he might hesi-
tate to remove one, especially If we hap
pened to upset his staff little by few
early series commandments.
Big Year for BOttOnIey.
One Of the encouraging things of the
late games of our pennant drive was
the fine hitting Of Jim Bottomley. Jim,
you know, has had a remarkable year,
considering all the bad luck he had.
A player with less nerve would have
been out half the season, but jim
stayed in there when he had q badly
swollen thumb and carried on gamely,
even when he knew that his batting
average was going down and his field
ing also. But the thumb seems to be
better now and Jim has helped us win
many game in the last couple of
weeks.
When look back over the season
and the hot pennant race, can't help
thanking my stars that had a game
ster like Jim Bottomley to play first
base for me. That boy has been mighty
valuable and there never was a mere
loyal worker.

the Louisville Colonies beat Roches-

reason he saw 1t was that the law
was unable to scale the 30-foot

Fitzpatrick enjoyed the game i'm
inensely. He also enjoyed the efforts
Of officers to bring him down. When
the game was over, however, and he
started to descend, he found the of
ficers still waiting for him. He de-
cided to stay UP.
For more than an hour Fitzpat-
rick decorated the scoreboard. For
more than an hour two policemen
sat on the ground below him. FL

scended. The law gathered him in.
He was booked on disorderly con-
