Pitcher Al Miununx of the Pirates
got his start under Lee Kohl, when tho
present Cleveland manager was man
aging tho Huntington team. When
the Pirates and Indians both were In
Chicago recently and stopping at thei
same hotel, I'ohl and Mamauz had an
experience meeting.
"Tnko care of that arm of yours,"
said Fohl to the Pirate pitcher.
"What do you care about It? I'm not
on your club now," unswored Muinnux.
"No, but I might want to draft you
Into a real major lcaguo iomo day,"
was Fold's comeback.
"Huh, I'd like to be In tho Amerl
'mi league and show thoso batters
Kuucthiiig at thnt," said the Pirate
pitcher.

JALL LEADER OF PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS.
Connie Mack's experience with his
host of youthful college ball players
continues unabated, but as yet with
out producing any appreciable results.
Many experts any that thero Is not a.
Blnglo good player among Mnck's many
collegians, hut such an assertion Is too
broad and sweeping to be accurate,
writes Hodman Ilandom In Philadel
phia Press. Undoubtedly In the outfit
are somo players who, with the kind
of care and attention they will get
under this famous leader, will develop
Into great ball players.
nowevcr, tho operation Is certain to
bo very slow, nnd baseball fans nre Im
patient for results. Tho tcdlousncss of
the operation is duo to the fact that
the tall leader Is trying to construct a
whole tea'm from green players. Had
ho held to n few of his veterans he
There Is still somo fight left in Uio
White Sor.
"Doc" Lavnn Is playing better ball
than ever before.
The Washington club has Bold its
right to Pitcher Ehmko to Detroit.
Tho Pittsburgh club is loading up
with nil kinds of bush leaguers this
fall.
Itogcr Ilornsby, tho St. Louis phc-
noin, is climbing rapidly In the batting
nvcrages.
Hans Wagner has alwnys been on
the level. , In fact, no player over met
a ball more squarely.
'
"Ed" Fltzpatrlck Is making a hit
with Boston "fans" by his playing In
place of "Johnny" Evers.
Itowdy Elliott Is n real backstop.
Ills work stamps Iilm as the right kind
to Htlck In the big show.
"You can't always shin up tho pen
nant pole by chinning," says John IC.
Tencr to dcorge Stnlllngs.
Connlo Mack should consldpr It a
successful season If ho does not run
afoul of tho child-labor luw.
Tho Toledo American association
team Is called the Iron Men. The team
has proved highly malleable.
Lee Fohl, manager of tho Indians,
caught a few games for tho Pirates In
1002 and for the Iteds In 1003.
Pctu Stnndrldgo nnd George Habel
should bo much better pitchers next
year than they were last year.
Just what uso John McGraw will
make of Indian Thorpo when ho geta
him hack again Is hard to say.
The Cleveland nnd Detroit clubs will
mako big money tills year. They are
the best coin getters in tho West.
"Babe" Ruth, star left hander of the
Red Sox, Is getting better and better
every time he steps Into tho box.
Trls Speaker hasn't much on Max
Carey of tho Pirates, when It comes to
getting under long drives in deep ecu
ter field.
"Dnvey" Robertson of tho Glnnts Is
straining every effort to hold the bat
ting leadership of tho Nutlonal league.
A dozen passes would only mar a
baseball game, whereas they would put
a crap game out of commission.
"Braves Are Hard Hit." Headline.
Thereby putting them In tho same class
with several of our ablest bookmakers.
"Bonesetter" Reeso may bo a wizard,
but he's never been able to set tho
bono that stole second with the bases
choked.
"Fred" Beobo, the veteran pitcher
rescued from tho minors by Leo Fohl,
appears suddenly to have discarded his
winning habits.
With Tommy Leach, Arthur Dovlln
and Charllo Dooln pnstlmlng with
their teyn Rochester can have a regu

would have been nblo to glvo more In
dividual attention to his men, have de
veloped them rapidly, nnd then have
supplanted tho veterans. Then at no
time would ho have had a wholo tenu
of rookies. Tho developing plnyerg
would have had n few old heads upon
whom to depend whereas they now play
as though bewildered.
Docs Connlo Mack count this policy
n mistake nnd believe ho has carried
tho operation to too great lengths 1
This may be Indicated by tho fact that
Harry Davis, his trusty lieutenant, has
been doing considerable scouting ol
Into in tho minor lenguo field. It Is the
first real effort tho Athletics havo mada

other efforts having been conducted in
