Division Of Material
Puts East Behind on
Grid !, Says Nevers
Sees No Difference in
Come os Presented by
Midwest ond Coost
BY EARL HILLIGAN,
Associated Press eports Writer.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-THE East may
be the cradle of the game, but in
the opinion of Ernie Nevers that
section of the country is an apron
string or two behind the Midwest and
Far West in the caliber OF football
teams produced by comparable major
institutions.
Nevers, the blond giant who once
ripped lines to pieces for Stanford
University and since has coached in
the East, Midwest and at his alma
mater, doesn't think there is any
difference between the West Coast
and Midwest brands of the sport.
He is convinced, however, that the
average Eastern eleven doesn't quite
measure up-and not because OF, in
ferlor talent or coaching.
Material Widely Divided.
"The great number of schools di-
vide material widely" he said. only
two schools, I think, match the
Midwest and Far West from year to
year, Pittsburgh and Fordham."
Nevers, who coached at Stanford
and Lafayette College, Pennsylvania,
before serving the last two seasons on
the University of Iowa stan, doesn't
agree with fans who contend that
long train rides West measurably
handicap Midwest elevens playing
on the West Coast
Past, smooth rides the boys get
now give them needed rest" he
continued. "Of course, long layoffs
don't do teams any good and Mid
west teams playing on the West
Coast long after the Big Ten season
closes usually are not at their peak"
Picks Southern California.
Southern clubs, he said, have the
advantage of warmer weather for
post-season workouts, but that
doesn't make him pick Duke to
trounce Southern California in the
Rose Bowl battle January 2.
Duke must have something to 70
through a season without permitting
opponents single point" he said.
But Southern California has
great team which is at its peak. I
know those boys are determined to
win and I think they will"
Nevers recently signed to coach
the Chicago Cardinals of the Ma
tional Professional League for 1899.
A decade ago he played with and
coached the same team.

Tin Helmet Idea Back
As Majors Go for
Nocturnal Game
BY WHITNEY MARTIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Major league baseball clubs now
should be open for bids on tin hats,
sizes 67s to 8a4, depending on the
size of the batting averages. Both
circuits have approved nightball,
but it might have been worse. They
might have given the pitchers sling
shots.
The grinning lad who sticks his
head through a dirty tarpaulin at
the county fair as the home talent
Dizzy Deans chuck lop-sided base
balls at him at the rate of three
chucks for a dime, and a fine Ha-
vana seegar for each bull's-eye, is in
wading pool compared with the
dangers faced by hitters who just
can hope the strikes will be over the
plate instead Of over the eyes.
After Mickey Cochrane was beaned
two years ago there was mild agita-
ton for helmets for batters, but the
movement sagged for lack of sup
port. and so far as is known only one
team has adopted the protective
headgear. The Springfield Grays,
strong semi-pro team on Long Is
land, equipped the batters with he'll

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ICON
ME Mack, ranked by some with
Billy Penn and Ben Franklin as
Philadelphia's all-time leading citi-
zen, celebrates his 10th birthday
anniversary two days before Christ
mas with the hope Santa Claus will
bring him winning baseball team
in 1899.
He has won more world cham
pionships than any other manager
and hopes to win still more.
Connie is the oldest man in base
ball, but refuses to be old. He goes
in for the youngest players and the
newer ideas and declares annually
he won't retire until the rocking
chair or a sick bed gets him.
So Connie approaches his 77th
year with vigor and the same op-
timism that he had at the start
of his baseball career Sc years ago.
Although his teams have been in
or near the cellar since 1892, "the
grand old man" sees no reason why
he can't enjoy another run Of
triumphs such as gave him nine
American League pennants and five
world championships.
Famous As Wrecker, Builder.
He will observe his birthday
quietly. without fuss or feathers.
If he follows the routine of past
years, he will 60 to his office in
Shibe Park, dictate to his secretary,
eat his invariable milk-and- cracker
lunch. chat with sports writer's and
return to his Germantown home for
dinner with his wife and children.

Stirring Panorama OF Baseball
Seen in Life of Connie Mack,
76 Years Old Next Friday

the panorama Of American baseball.
At %, he caught for the Meridian,
Conn, team and later for Hartford
in the Connecticut League. Then
he went to Buffalo, Washington and
Pittsburgh. He was rated one of
the cleverest catchers in the game.
During As years as a manager he
has been elected from a ball park
only once-for disputing an umpire
while managing Pittsburgh.
Connie started the present Phila-
delphia Athletics in 1901 and won q
pennant the very next year. He
became famous as wrecker of
baseball teams as we'll as builder.
In 1914, after Boston defeated the
AS in world series in four
straight games, Mack scattered
players to the four winds, selling
the cream of the crop for huge
prices. He did 1t again In 1881.
His successes stopped abruptly, but
he goes on hoping.
McGraw Nicknames Club.
When Connie put his first Phila-
delphia team on the diamond, John
McGraw snorted. 1.-The American
League has white elephant on its
hands"
So Connie adopted a white ele-
phant as his team symbol and pro-
ceeded to give the lie to his fellow
1rishman, whom he rates as base
balls greatest manager since the
turn Of the century.
The aging dean of baseball man
ayers still attends every game he
can. A sober business suit and a
Hoover collar" are his uniform. He
sits in the dugout, tabbing each play
on the score card, signaling advice to
players. AS testimony to his youth
ful ideas, he recently supported
night baseball. Many Of his play
ers are recruited from college teams
Other than baseball, Mack has
few interests. He doesn't care for
alcohol, tobacco, profanity or big
parties. He used to play golf fire.
quently, but is seldom seen on the
links nowadays. He likes the the
ater, movies and Dickens.
Earns Box Award.
In 1890 Cornelius McGillicuddv.
the name Mack got from his par
ents, poor Irish immigrants, was
given the Box award as the man
who had done the most for Phila-
delphia in the past year. His team
had won a world championship and
was on the way to another.
1t was long stride from the
Massachusetts, shoe factory bench
where the wiry Connie-"Slats" his
playmates once called him-worked
to support his brothers and sisters.
And some day Philadelphia may
replace the giant William Penn stat
ue atop city hall with one Of Con-
ME Mack, wagging a score card.
That is the way millions of big
league fans have seen him for more
than half a century.

Kenneth Stubbs and A. Mengarini.
Stubbs has been i'll and this may
spoil his chances for victory over
Knapp. Mengarini is a difficult
player, but Knapp probably will take
him IN 40 moves, using a queens side
opening or attack.
If he defeats both Stubbs and
Mengarini, then assuredly Knapp
will displace Mugridge as champion
of the Four C's for 1899, amassing
the final score of 71a-1h, which
cannot be bettered by any other

of night baseball in the majors.

''The batters complain now about
the glare, the overcast or other
things affecting day visibility" he
says. What will they do at night
with lazy smoke, fog or mist floating
over the field and facing the speed
of Bob Feller?"
Night baseball is an institution in
the minors, with no apparent in
crease in the battery casualty list,
but Strong believes the greater speed
of the major hurlers will make for
real danger.
A few night games have been
played in the National League, with
no casualties, but when some Of

whether it will 60 over the plate or
over the peanut stand near the right

story.
The majors wisely limited the
number Of night games to seven
home games for any one club. un-
doubtedly realizing that baseball still
is a daytime sport, despite the fact
night ball has been q life-saver to
the minors.
A steady diet of night ball gets as
monotonous as pair of shoes that
only squeak in one key and, in addi-
tion to that, it catches only the fans
who work during the day. BY split
ting day and night games, all the
fans get a chance to spend their
money.
In fact, it was pointed out during
a discussion that Jersey City and
Newark, which rank IL in Interna-
tional League attendance, play only
two night games a week, and Kan
