TALL LEADER OF PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS.
1 Connie Mack's experience with his
host of youthful college ball players
continues unabated, but ns yet with
out producing any appreciable results.
Many experts say that there Is not a
'single good player among Mack's many
collegians, but such an assertion Is too
broad and sweeping to be accurate,
writes Rodman Random in Philadel
phia Press. Undoubtedly In the outfit
re some players who, with the kind
of care and attention they will get
under this famous leader, will develop
Into great ball players.
However, the operation Is certain to
"be very slow, and baseball fans are Im
patient for results. The tediousness of
the operation is due to the fact that
the tall leader Is trying to construct a
whole team from green players. Had
he held to a few of his veterans he
iSOAll NOTES
There is still some fight left In the
White Sox.
"Doc" Lavan is playing better ball
than ever before.
The Washington club has sold Its

Roger Hornsby, the St Louis phe

Hans Wagner has always been on
the level. In fact no player ever met
a ball more squarely.

limvdy Elliott Is a real backstop.
Ills work stamps him as the right kind
to stick In the big show.

Tener to George Stalllngs.
Connie Mack should consider It a
successful season if he does not run
afaul of the child-labor law.
Th Toledo American association
team Is called the Iron Men. The team
has proved highly malleable.
Lee Fohl, manager of the Indians,
caught a few games for the Pirates In
1902 and for the Reds in 1903.
Pete Standrldge and George Zabel
should be much better pitchers next
year than they were last year.
Just what use John McGraw will
make of Indian Thorpe when -he gets
- him back again is bard to say.
The Cleveland and Detroit clubs will
make big money this year. They are
the best coin getters In the West
"Babe" Buth, star left haader of the
Red Sox, is getting better and better
every time he steps Into the box.
Trls Speaker hasn't much on Max
Carey of the Pirates, when it comes to
getting under long drives in deep cen
ter field.
"Davey" Robertson of the Giants Is
straining every effort to hold the bat
ting leadership of the National league.
A dozen passes would only mar a
baseball game, whereas they would put
a crap game out of commission.
would have beu able to give more In
dividual attention to his men, have de
veloped them rapidly, and then have
supplanted the veterans. Then at no
time would he have had a whole team
of rookies. The developing players
would have had a few old heads upon
whom to depend whereas they now play
as though bewildered.
Does Connie Mack count this policy
a mistake and believe he has carried
the operation to too great lengths?
This may be indicated by the fact that
Harry Davis, his trusty lieutenant has
been doing considerable scouting of
late In the minor league field. It Is the
first real effort the Athletics have made
to land professional players from the
minor leagues to bolster the team, all
other efforts having been conducted in
the college field.
MAKES QUEER DOUBLE PLAY
Tommy Leach Got Both Ends in Pecu
liar Manner Covered Second
After Wild Throw.
Tommy Leach, playing center field
for his Rochester team against Provi
dence, got both putouts in as peculiar
a double play as has been recorded
yet. Shean was on first when Onslow
hit a liner to Leach. Tommy gathered
it in and threw to Holke at first to get
Shean before he could get back to the
bag. The throw went wild and Leach
came racing in from center, covered
the bag and took the throw when
Holke recovered the ball. Shean had
run beyond second and could not get
back.
JOE JACKSON IS IMPROVING
All White Sox Are Pulling for Out
fielder to Lead American League
as Hardest Hitter.
"Joe Jackson Is getting better every
day," said Eddie Collins, captain and
second baseman
for the Chicago
White Sox.
"Speaker Is a sort
of combination of
Cobb and Jack
son In hitting.
Spoke will beat
out some Infield
hits; not as many
as Cobt) and more
than Jackson. He
will not walk as
often as Cobb,
but will walk
oftener than
Joe Jackson. Jackson. This
means that Jackson Is the cleaner hit
ter. He has to be to stay in that com
pany. "AH the White Sox are pulling for
Joe to lead the American league this
year, ne has been a wonderful hitter
for several years, but he never got the
credit due him. He has hit hard
enough several years to lead every
league but the one Cobb was in. It's
the greatest race the game has ever
known."

CHANCE FOR SAM CRAWFORD
If Through as Player Fellow Citizens
of Wayne County Plan Running
Him for Sheriff.
If Hugh Jennings really thinks Sam
Crawford is done ns a ball player,
there still Is a chance for Wahoo to
keep before the public His fellow
citizens In Wayne county, Michigan,
In which Detroit Is situated, have sug
gested that he become a candidate for
sheriff, running against Ed Stein, also
a ball player, once upon a time, as fol
lowers of the old Brooklyn Superbas
will remember.
Jack Barry Improves.
"Jack" Barry started poorly this
season, but has shown great Improve
ment In the last month.
The last issue of the Grinnell Her
ald and the Marshalltown Times-Re
publican have contained amusing
stories concerning a trunk belonging
to Misses Hester and Nellie Shaw. It
was stolen- from the depot at Nora
Springs a Bhort time ago, and after a
long chasei In which the Mason City
police and a special detective from
Milwaukee figured prominently, was
finally found, abandoned, in a corn
field near Clear Lake. It had been al
most entirely destroyed by fire and
the contents practically ruined.
When first found a deep mystery
hung over the whole affair. The night
blaze In a lonely cornfield was the
first evidence noted. When this was
investigated by the sheriff he found
the trunk to contain handkerchiefs and
other articles of apparel and "some of
these garments appeared to be spotted
with blood." Further search revealed
"the remains of a book in which a
Grinnell college co-ed had evidently
been pasting the programs of all the
college affairs she had attended." Foul
play was suspected, but after tele
graphing to Miss Shaw the sheriff
worked out the theft.
As yet the thief, or probably thieves.
since one man could not conveniently
handle the trunk by himself, has not
been apprehended. The contents were
a total loss, which will be made good
by the railroad company. Exchange.

BE HEAVIEST EVER
Owing to the heaviest registration
of girls in the history of TSrinnell, the
college has purchased the residence of
Dr. P. E. Somers, directly west of the
Association building, and is using It
as an addition to the Quadrangle, hav
ing fitted It out for the accommodation
of twenty-two girls. At present every
room is occupied, and entrance appli
cations are being refused daily at the
college office because of a scarcity of
rooms. XTni.. farther arrangements
are completed, applicants will un
doubtedly find it difficult to secure
rooms within the city.
There is also an Increase in the
number of men in the freshmen class,
but because of the fact that all the
men room are in private houses, they
have experienced no such difficulty
as the girls. Exchange.
