ED MACKALL
San Antonio, March 12.
D MACKALL has been training ball throwers and flying armadillos
for years. All the wonderful flying armadillo acts that you pipe tn
refined vaudeville have been coached by Mackall. He teaches 'em to
walk pretty, chirp "papa" and rollover and play dead soldier. Ed is a
base ball conductor in summer and an armadillo impressario in winter.
E1
He's been in both games thirty years and hasn't decided whether
'Armour armadillos are worse than ivory clad leaguers. He started with
Johns Hopkins in 1890 and rubbed McGraw's Orioles with alcohol in the
days when alcohol meant something. Them were tKe fat oldlimes. A
man could name his poison and get a drink.
We repeat, a man could name his poison and get a drink. Now hv;
name his drinks and gets a ooison. One drink and the trailing arbutus is
clinging to your whiskers, and the family weejee board has one more
yam to ciurp witn. rrom isauimore, r,a wneeiea over to tincinqau, wmcn
wasn't anvthintr to boast about in those days. He came back to McGraw
in 1908, and has been rubbing the kinks out of the C-iantsever since
He mourns the good old days of base ball, when a leaguer shaved him
self on a broken bottle and talked in a gruff, base voice. Ed buzzed that
ball players are getting like prima donnas. They re so fragile that they
bust their jaws on charlotte russes. The only medicine they had in 1890
was codein. They used it externally for broken legs, bullet wounds, knife
jabs and drank it for their flu, typhoid and democratic administrations.
Now. if a thrower gets a sprained finger nail, he expects the sporting
editor of Jim Jam Jems to write eight columns about it. Times have
changed since grandpa was a flapper.
Meckell used to train fighters, too. They were tough birds in those
days also, and knuckles were trumps. He says that a modern prize fight
looks like a couple of guys demonstrating a davenport that is a beautiful
sofa by day and a comfortable be,d at night. He qu.it the game when they
started to have the gloves maae Dy tne ustermoor company, ne says tne
first guy he trained could take a locomotive on the chin. That was in
1895. The last guy he worked could get punch drunk on'a bevo clo,ut. That
was in 1919. . . .
Some day Mackaff hopes to quit the training game and grab off a soft
job. He figures that something neat and pretty would be secretary of war
during a Quaker administration. He helped the uiants win five pennants
and one world's championship, and claims to be the father of chiropractics,
now so popular where rheumatism is stylish and gout a necessity.
.
When he starts to rub a Charley horse out of the league the victim
thinks that he has grabbed the brass ring in a cyclone. Ed can rub a
sprained wrist right down into a hangnail. He can take the harness out of
one arm and transfer it to the other wing. He can do anything except rub
base ball into a left-hander's dome.
He agrees with Thomas Edison that ivory is a non-conductor. Mackall
can massage a corkscrew into a billiard cue. He can fix a yam into shape
for a base ball game, but, like the yams who sell patent leather shoes, Ed
gives no guarantee. He ain't responsible for 'em after they leave the shop.

But the Law of Averages Doesn't Count Much in Base
Ball Rickey Has Some Great Offensive Piayers,
'.But He Needs Pitchers.
By JAMES CRUSINBERRY.
Brownsville, Tex., March 18.
(special.) If the law of averages
worked in base ball, the St. Louis
Cardinals would win the pennant
this year and the next two, for they
never have won one and they've
been playing all these years: But
Major Rickey, who runs things on
the St. Louis outfit, isn't counting
on the law of averages to do one
thing for him. He's concerned only
over his pitching staff.
If he can get any kind of pitch
ing that would class as major league
stuff he might create quite a stir in
the coming fight If he doesn't, get
any kind -of pitching he's likely to
be a trailer once more.
Major Rickey has a strong hitting
club. No one can doubt that when
it contains such men as Roger
Hornsby, Milton Stock, Jacques
Fournier ajid Bert Shotton, besides
a couple of live looking youngsters
in Clifton -Heathcote and Austin
McHenry. He has a speedy club in
base running.
Heathcote Fast on Paths.
The major says Heathcote is the
fastest man in base ball and is will
ing to wager a new hat he'll lead the
league in stolen bases. Shotton,
Fournier, Hornsby, Stock and the
rest or them ' are tleet-tooted, too.
He has a . team capable of doing
some great offensive playing, but the
defensive power of the club is
doubtful.
Unless a couple of youngsters
come through as pitchers, the
Cardinals are likely to trail along
with the tail end clubs just as they
did a year ago. ihey had the worst
pitching staff of them all. then.
They Were last in everything that
it was possible for pitchers to be at
the bottom.
The St. Louis staff allowed more
hits than any other staff during the
1919 season. They allowed more
runs per game than any other staff.
They gave more bases on balls.
They hit more batters. They made
more wild pitches and they fanned
fewer batsmen. Major Rickey has
all the dope to prove it, and down in
his borderland training camp he is
wprking desperately t6 correct these
faults. -
Counting on Schupp.
"I've got to improve my pitching
staff or I can't see much hope for us
this year," frankly admitted the St.
Louis learder. "But at the same time
I have a ball club that can do a lot
of business if the staff is improved
only slightly, and it looks as if one
or two of my old pitchers will have
better form and as if one or two
young fellows are ready for the big
show.
"A lot depends upon Ferdie
Schupp, and I really believe he's
going to be in his old form. I can
bank on Willie Doak's doing well.
Marvin Goodwin should be able to
handle his' game.
"Then there are Bill Sherdell,
Jake May, and Elmer Jacobs of the
older set, who know enough about
pitching to go along in the big
leagues, and I feel sure of . a great
deal of help from Jess Haines, who
won twenty-five games and lost five
for Kansas City. last year, and
Walter Schulz, a youngster whom I
picked off the St. Louis semi-pros.
He beat Us last year in an exhibi
tion game at Mount Vernon, and
he can beat anybody with pitching
such as he showed us that day."

feel somewhat optimistic about my
pitching staff. I have outfielders
who make mistakes. They throw to
the wrong bases and sometimes do
a lot of other things that you
wouldn't think possible by big
leaguers, but there is hope thai
they'll still learn. You know if you
just keep on telling, a fellow the
right thing when he's done it wrong
19 times, there's a possibility that
he'Jl do it right the twentieth
time." '
Rickey would like to make a
trade that would give him either a
high class pitcher or a high class
catcher one who could help his
present pitching staff but it looks
as if no such deal could be made.
The Giants would like to have Mil
ton Stock, and Rickey would give
them Stock, but only for some stars.
He said they could have him for
Outfielder George Burns, Catcher
Smith and some young infielder.
That makes a deal practically impos
sible. '
Backstop Loses Temper.
At present Vernon Clemons is
chief catcher for the Cards and his
main fault- is getting mad at the
umpires. "Pickles" Dillhoefer, for
merly of the Cubs, is second string
man, and a youngster named Henry
Roth, a soldier, is trying for a place.
With Stock back in line, the Card
inals will have a set of infielders
that has plenty of class. Jack Four
nier has improved greatly in field
ing since the days he was with the
White Sox, and he sure can hit.
Hornsby will play second and he's
a whale of a man for the job.
Johnny Lavan, formerly of the
Browns, is the shortstop, and Stock
will be on third.
As a substitute, Harold Janvrin,
who trailed with the Red Sox sev
eral seasons, is here and going in
better style than ever. Jim Mc-
Loughlin and Rav Blades are two
St. Louis semi-pror"with speed but
little experience.
Shotton, Heathcote, McHenry and
Jack Smith are the outfiielders of
experience. Joe Schultz, also a vet
eran, may hold on as utility man,
while two youngsters, Ed Bogart
and -Lloyd bilcott, aspire for jobs.
The former hit over .300 "in the
Canadian league last year, and was
credited with it homers.
While Shotton handles the job of
chier assistant to Rickey, the St.
Louis boss also carried old Joe
augden as coach. Joe, however, de
votes most of his time to the job of
teaching the pitchers the tricks of
base ball. Charley Barrett, scout
ot the team, also is helping in the
work at camp.
Famous Brooklyn Race Track
Sold; To Be Cut Into Lots
New York, March 18. The old
Gravesend race track near Coney
Island, over which for many years
the Brooklyn handicap, a turf clas
sic, was run, Thursday was sold to
a real estate firm for $675,000. The
eptire tract of land, consisting of
about 90 acres', was the property
of the Brooklyn Jockey club, in
which Philip and Michael Dwyer,
brothers, were the principal stocki
holders. It will be cut up into build
ing lots. -
This is the last of the three Brook
lyn race tracks which were closed
when the Percey-Gray law was re
pealed. The Sheepshead Bay track,
used until a few months aero as an
automobile speedway, is now being
dismantled and converted into a resi
dential tract. The Brighton Beach
course already has been transformed
into a bungalow colony.
