d Harris Sure His Ciub Already Is “In” : McGraw Stresses Value of Able Subs CITES CONSTRUCTIVE WORK EXPECTS TO BOOST LEAD - BEFORE MONTH IS ENDED Contenfls Advantage Over A’s Is Due Largely to Greater Experience of Griffmen—To Guard Against Evils of Overconfidence. BY STANLEY (BUCKY) HARRIS, 2 Manager and Second Baseman, World Champion Washington Club. HE American League race isn't over yet, but I am just as confident as ever that it will end with the Washington club on the top of the pile. We have a. tidy lead over the Athletics, and, if anything, ought to increasc it in the final month of the season. However, the world champions can be counted upon to play thebest ball of which they are capable until the pennant is won beyond a mathematical doubt. v We are not going to allow overconfidence to bring about a slump that might draw the finish fine. A race isn't over until the winner's num- ber is posted. Nor is a pennant struggle settled until the flag actually is won. The Athletics, apparently, have shot their bolt, but that isn't go- A’s Faltered in the Pinches. ing to keep the Washington club from going right ahead hustling in every game that remains. I have thought all along that we would settle the issue with the Ath- letics this month. It certainly looks if ‘we have done so. I'll admit, however, T didn’t look to see the club have such a fat lead so early in Sep- tember. 1 didu't look for the Philadelphia slump to assume such propor- tions in the West. Connie Mack's outfit was simply shot to pieces. 7The Washington club has shown | = again how well it can deliver in the legics when the two clubs started their | final Western trip of the year.

The | §: Pjrates were leading one year on Sep- | & tember 1 and' the Giants held the| place of honor three different years on that date only to be nosed out in the stretch run. So the sta certainly seems to be set for the faus of Wash- ington and Pittsburgh to act as hos for the 1925 world series crowd . We expect to clinch the pennant in the Coming Philadelphia series. Then we will have a chance to scout the Pirates and get a line on how th shape up. We met them in an ex- hibition game this season and got an idea of their style of play, but they will bear some more study.

With Jim Davis having attained a speed of 113 miles an hour in the trials that have been conducted during the ‘week, officials of the track are prom- ising a certain shattering of all rec- ords for each of the distances that racers. of the entrants in the first motor cycle Taces to be held in this vicinity have done as high as 110 miles an hour in the trials-and are unanimous in their - opinion that. the Laurel board track is the fastest ‘in the world. Washington followers of the sport are watching Ed Rowley, a local en- ) try, with the hope-that he may carry District colors to victory. ; A new motor designed especially for racing by the Excelsior Company will be seen on the track for the first time tomorrow. All the ‘other standard makes of machines also will be whi ing around the big bowl. : . Special provision has been made for spectators who' wish to reach the track by train. Trains will leave Union Station at 1:30 and 2, allowing time to reach Laurel before the start Of the races at 2:80. _ .

OF MANAGER STAN HARRIS Pilot of Giants Asserts no Club Can Successfully As« pire to a Championship Unless Adequately Fortified Against Accidents and Illness. rolls | BY JOHN . McGRAW, Manager, New York Glants, National Leugue Champions. P HILADELPHIA, September 5—The wutstanding lesson taught this season to base ball managers and base ball owners, as well as the public, a very much interested third party, is that secondary or reserve strength is the most important factor in the game. Constructive competition has grown so keen and tHe result so ime portant that no team can afford to go on the field for a long campaign without being fortified against accident or illness. Evidence of this grows more. convincing every day. Without a powerful secondary well, there is no tellin perience in base ball where they would have finished. don’t remember ever having had such a ran of misfortune in the way of injuries to players. strength the Giants, for instance— In all my.ex- Never since the season began have we been able to put our regular line-up in the field for a week at the time. ‘We were particularly fortunate in having a strong reserve force in the early part of the season and that alone kept us up in the race. But even that did not suffice. The ip- Juries kept right on. Very few of our players escaped. Still, we were able’ to shift them around and put up a fight. The Plrates never had any such drain on their reserve strength, but they ivere preparing for it all the ime they were going at top speed. So, when Max Carey and Eddie Moore were out for a short spell Johnny Rawlings stepped right in and played great ball. The Pitts- burgh club deserves a lot of credit for the way it has manipulated its speed and hitting power. 1 could see this coming early in the Spring. While- experts were picking other contenders I repeatedly warned our players and also wrote in this col- umn that the club we had to beat to +win a fifth pennant would be Pittsburgh. Bill McKechnie can well feel proud of his work. Has Praise for Stan Harris. Stanley Harris of the Nationals proved himself a real constructive manager ‘early in the Winter when he began building. up a reserve strength to hold what he had gained as a world champion. Very wisely he was ot content to sit back and leg well enough alone. Fans won- déred at his acquiring o many vet- erans; wondered what he would be able to do with them. They krow now. When the reguldrs began to tire or were_out ‘of the line-up for other reasons these extra men of experience stepped right in and kept the machine running smoothly. The success of the Nationals this year has been due to the steadiness of their stride. They have had no phenomenal spurts, but have stuck right to their knitting, playing the same steady ball y after day. Others went up and down, but with that reserve strength for a balance the Washington team kept on a steady keel. It showed the class of a champlon. 2 In the old days a ball club organized and put on the field was allowed to go at that. Its for- tunes went up and down with the conditions of the players. The ele- ment of luck, therefore, figured con- siderably, as other clubs worked on the same basis. A pennant is much more important " ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. H around the point and its beaches are alt sandy. Last week, however, an natives of the locafity during inhabitant who has spent 50 or 60 OW did Rock Point, Md., get its name? This question asked of the the last three or four years brought no satisfactory answer. There are no rocks to be $cen anywhere years of his life at ‘the Point, said: “This place ‘was given its name from the large number of rockfish or striped Wass caught here in past years. It used to be full of rockfish, and they could be caught at any old place, but now you have to know where to go to get them.” Asked if he knew where they could be located in any numbers, he said, “Well, the best place I know of is off the bar at the mouth of Charles Creek. There is a sand bar running out into the river there, and.the channel is marked with a sort of bush or’tall tree with a bushy growth at the top. Find the buoy that I have mentioned and go out in the stream about 100 yards from it and you will get some Tockfish. Good luck to you all.” . Got Real Results. | _ Early the next mon\ln.g the writer followed the old man's instructions and rowed to the mouth of Charles Creek, located about a mile from the hotel at the poirt, found the tree #nd anchored about a hundred yards off it. He took a peeler crab from his bucket and placed two nice bits of white bait on his hooks and made a cast. In about two or three minutes he was re- wards with a strike and landed a nice pan rock, about a pound and a half. These strike’ continued until he had landed eight -rockfish, none that you could brag about, but just right fer the frying pan. Elated by ‘his first ef- forts, the next morning found him at the same place with the flood tide. As on the day before, he had only to wait @ couple of minutes before ‘he had landed@ his first rockfish. He con- S tinued to bait and cast, landing sev- eral rock, but no large ones, which caused him to wonder why one of the igger ones did not strike, or if there were any big ones in that vicinity. Having fished last Fall in esa.- peake Bay for the rockfish and know- ing the activities of the sea gulls when rockfish are feeding, he began to look around to see if any of the gulls were present. He observed a~flock of 10 or 12 flying around, and said to his fish- ing companion, “Watch those gulls. If the rockfish are feeding you will see Some of them break water in'a very little while.” ¥ Big Fish There. > ‘Before 10 minutes had the sea_guils, numbering by this time 40 or 50, had commenced to dart into the water and set up_an awful-hawl for their breakfast.

Keeping a club up to a standard s more di original . building. thought is the. big thing has brought about a competition that makes the secondary strength abso- lutely essential. Trailing Clubs Now Building. The need of it is shown daily even among the clubs now fighting for a place in the first division. Next year I expect to see clubs like the Car- dinals, the Braves and the Reds strongly fortified at the start of the season. They all are building with the idea of a championship in the future. A remarkable feature of the race in the American League has been the work of the Athlef For a young team .they have shown much class, Very few base ball people expected them to last as long -as they did against the steady grind of the Na- tionals, but they got up there, and with good pitching and solid hitting stuck to their guns. Connie Mack is en- titled to congratulations. But for their unexpectedly start the Detroit Tygers would have been a dangerous factor. They finally got going, but it was too late. Still, it is a pretty good indication as to who will be dangerous next geason. No Set-ups in Old League. The National League race has been particularly interesting this year in that there'is not a club in it that can be pointed to as hopeless. At no time during the year have there been any set-ups or soft pickings. Teams like the Braves and the Phillies, for ex- ample, have caused the leaders just as much trouble as those up at the top. Not a single club in the league has been satisfied to consider itself a tail- ender and give up the fight. The fact that these clubs have not allowed themselves to be a foot ball to be kicked around by the contenders has had its effect upon the fans.' The attendance has kept up right along. Even if 2 club hasn’t a chance for a pennant the average fan wants to see a good fight, and that is. what they're been getting. Glance at the standing of the clubs and you will see that there is less than 200 points between the leader and the tailender. That is reglly remarkable. But for the unfortunate showing of the Red Sox in the American League that race would also have been tight all/the way downthe line. Balanced Strength Missing. Much of this I attribute to the fight for first-division berths, which carry a money prize, as I said last week, but there is a bigger incentive than that. All the clubs are building for a real shot at the big championship prize in the next year or two. The trouble Wwith most the clubs in the’ second division has been a lack of balanced strength. The Philliés, for instance, though in seventh place, were leading the league in hitting a few days ago. The Cardinals are in the unusual position of baving two regulars— Hornsby and Bottomley—fighting it out for the batting championship of the league. Brooklyn has the leading pitcher, The Reds have a remarkable the right combination in which this group of pitchers, The problem right now is to find extraordinary strength can be brought into play. Behind it all, though, each club must build-up a great reserve strength. That is the deciding force. (Copyright, 1925.) REAMER SETS PACE IN EVENT AT TRAPS H. 'C.
