THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1930_ _ BR COSTLY 10 THREE TEAMS OUTIN FRONT Phillies Will Have Four More Chances at Cards and a Crack at Robins PIRATES TO FACE BROOKLYN Chicago Cubs Will Be Involved With Braves and Reds Rest of Season (By The Associated Press) ‘The second division clubs of the National League, three of which have no hopes of improving their present positions, have some fine opportuni- ties ahead for upsetting the apple carts of the three contenders for the championship. The Phillies, doomed to finish in the cellar, already have caused a lot of trouble for Chicago’s Cubs and yes- terday they gave the league leading St. Louis Cardinals a great run for their money before going down 7 to 8. They meet the Cards four more times in the next few days then have |¢ria), one crack at Brooklyn. Pittsburgh's Pirates, who only lost their mathematical chance of finish- ing first as the Cards won yesterday, start today in a two game series with the Robins and finish their season with four games in St. Louis. The Chicago Cubs, who gained a tie with Brooklyn for second place yesterday as they took a.close decision from the Boston, 5 to 4, find themselves in- volved with the Braves and Cincin- nati for the rest of the season. A sud- den spurt on the part of any one of their four trailers could cause serious damage to the hopes of its rivals. But that spurt failed to materialize yesterday and this is how the three Won Lost Pct.

A product of the sandlots and the “rock 'em and sock ’em” days him- self, Mack was the first big league manager to comb the coliege ball teams for talent. ‘The game was becoming a more fashionable sport. Mack did not con- sider a college diploma a handicap to prospective recruits, nor share the de- risive attitude of old-timers toward the boys who did noble deeds for the old alma mater. Mack's development of players with little or no professional experience soon earned him the name of the “Tall Tutor” and “The Profesor.” Connie looked more like a sedate col- lege teacher of ancient history than} the type generally associated with the management of big league ball clubs. Of kindly and sympathetic nature, his reputation attracted ambitious youngsters. They were given a hear- ing and some advice, if not an actual T was in Mack’s office years later loose, gangling youth, cap in hand, made & somewhat embarrassed en- trance. A plea to see “Mr. Mack” had got him by the gate-tender. Connie looked up, indicating no trace of annoyance at the interruption. The youth blushed, told how he had been pitching for a team up in the} Pennsylvania coal towns and con- fessed he'd like to “get a job.” Mack asked him a few questions, then sent him down to the clubouse for a uni- form and later inspection in practice. “He may not have a thing, but he’s ambitious enough to come down here to see me,” said Mack. “Perhaps we can start him off right. It’s part of And, who knows, he might be a real prospect?” ment, which Mack helped in the develop- ment of hundreds of major league | players. championship team in 1902 were plucked from college ranks — Eddie Plank of Gettysburg, the great south- paw pitcher, Brown, who played centerfield.

When he was right he was as nearly unbeatable as any pitcher I have ever seen.” There have been many legends about Waddell, chief among them the. George/ notion that he had & habit of calkng in his outfielders, then striking out the side, It is, however, @ pleasant fiction developed solely from the fact that the Rube did this stunt several times in exhibition games, but never in actual league competition. © Schreck had the eccentric habit of doing as much of his backstopping as Lampe dt with his gloved hand only. worried Mack, who considered it carvtbte workmanship until Schreck finally convinced his manager could do a better job ‘one-handed than with two. Once when Waddell, in an_exhibi- tion stunt, called in the infield as well as outfield and struck one the side, Schreck added to the novelty by catching every pitch one-handed from a sitting position. One day, at St. Louis in 1908, Schreck smashed a thumb as the cli- max to accidents putting all of Mack’s backstoppers on the casualty “Tf you are worrying about who's going to catch, quit it,” Schreck told Mack. “I’m going to do it. Put the Rube in, that’s all I ask.” Schreck caught every pitch with | wil his gloved hand and threw out every St. Louis battér who tried to steal de- spite the bandaged thumb. And the Athletics won.

The national amateur champion- ship will be played at the Merion Cricket club, where in 1916 a boy dazzled the nation by his skill, and where in 1924 that boy, become a young man, first won the national amateur championship after many disappointments. Having won the British amateur and open and the American open already this year, Bobby has a chance to be the first to wear the quadruple crown. Qualifying play of 36 holes, one round Monday and another Tuesday, determine 32 participants in match play. There will be two match play rounds at 18 holes Wednesday and thereafter 36-hole rounds, with the final on next Saturday. Bobby fears nothing much except the 18- hole matches, Bobby slipped away yesterday, pri- marily to escape the eager-eyed gal- leryites, and shot a round at the Pine Valley club in New Jersey but his program today called for a final tun- ing up at Merion. Paired with Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston, who will defend the nation- al championship in the impending “big show,” Jones is to compete in practice this afternoon against Jess Sweetser, champion in 1922, and Max Marston, titleholder. in 1923.

Ohfo State has a big squad, with a number of promising prospects, but lacking in experience. Wes Fesler has been moved from end to fullback to add power to the back- field, while Dick Larkin, veteran tackle shifted to Fesler’s end. Coach Bob Zuppke’s task at Illi- nois is just as he outlined it—to keep on sorting out his squad until he finds out what everyone can do, He has only four lettermen, but there are @ number of last year’s reserves who look much better season. Michi- gan has plenty off size, ly and physically, and Harry ap- parently is planning a ‘much more di- versified offense than he had last year, his first season in charge of the ‘Wolverines.
