Naturally we think we will win, but we know we will have to play our best game to do it. Many things can happen in a short series. There are breaks to be taken into consideration. One bad bounding ball, on which there might be a double play, may cost a ball game. Texas leaguer, why there are a half dozen horrors that can quickly change a victory into defeat without the charge being made of bad ball ?lly- ing or pitching.

THE -EVENING' STAR, CONNIE MACK | HIS 50 YEARS IN BASE BALL cess is sought in any sport I always, recalled the offhand locker room | advice given to a golfer one day | by Bobby Jones: “Hit the ball.” Connie Mack, asked one time to explain the “secrets” of his abil- ity as a manager, smiled and re- plied: “Being fortunate enough to have some wonderful ball players.” The practical-minded New Englander never regarded his various successes as the result of any mysterious power. If he adopted any special formulae, they were these three: 1. Practice of the old Golden Rule in treating players as he would like to be treated himself. 2. Development of team work, in spirlt and action, to the highest point of efficiency. 3. Possession of at least one grade A southpaw pitcher. Mack's younger days in base ball were spent under stern leadership of the old school. Managers did not spare words. If necessary, they used their fists. Strangely, this influence developed Mack as a soft-spoken, quiet and per- suasive type of manager. “Some people have always maintained that certain types of players require rough handling and harsh words. It is true that you cannot compromise with many, but I have never found that it paid to drive & ter how unruly he might be. He will not do his best. “Earlier in my career as a manager the athletes on my team were mostly seasoned men who had been developed by other teachers. Some were classed as ‘tough customers’ and as very diffi- cult to handle. But in all my years with the Athletics I have never en- countered a player who would not re- spond to kindly treatment. “Players require different types of handling. That is why I never have had inflexible rules for either conduct or hours. I find that I can handle the men better individually. Some need rsuasion, even coaxing. Others need be patted on the back and encour- aged.

One of the play- ers came in briskly, saying, “Good night, Mr. Mack.” “Good night, John.” Connie Teplied, sauntering out casually and around the block to a side entrance. The same player approached, on the way out, until he suddenly caught sight of the lean manager’s figure.

Mack's success at developing young players, fro mthe colleges and sandlots, always has been conspicuous. He re- gretted the day when he was forced by competition to abandon much of this policy for the necessity of buying stars. His unfailing patience encouraged youngsters. He never forgot that he once was obliged to struggle himself, against handicaps, to make good. “Give every youngster the fullest chance possible,” he once said. “Then give him two or three more. During my come up for trial who looked like future stars—yet they failed because they were not given a proper chance. “Very few of the youngsters who made up the Athletics of 1910-14 looked like stars in their earliest trials. Some of them blundered, but they eventually found themselves.” 'REQUENTLY it has been sald that Mack “played hunches,” but Cobb, after two seasons under the | tutor,” remarked: “If you call 'em hunches when they are based on the greatest background of tact with, all right.” I asked Eddie Collins one day the secret of Mack’s ability to maintain so keen a grasp 0f base ball's swift-moving playing career I saw many youngsters | detailed knowledge I have ever had con- | affairs after so long a term as manager, | and at an age when most elderly gentle- | men prefer ease or golf to directing an exciting ball game from a hard, hot | bench.

FINNEGAN WINS BOUT; CROWD DISAPPROVES Punches Way to Victory Over Bal- duc—Latter's Purse Is With- held for Some Time: EFORE a large crowd which roared its disapproval much in the same manner as it did last week at the Pisano-Portney fight, Dick “Honey Boy” Finnegan of Boston punched his way to & two-round K. O. victory over George Balduc, re- uted to be champ of the National uard of New York and New Jersey, last night at Fort Washington in the feature bout of the weekly card. Five times BaMluc hit the canvas be- fore Honey Boy’s flying gloves sent him down for the 10 count after 40 seconds in the second round. ‘The ending was received with a volu- ble echo of Bronx cheers. It took Bal- duc’s seconds five minutes to revive the New Yorker and take him from the ring. ._A. M. Patch, commandant of Fort Washington, withheld Balduc’s purse, which was 20 per cent of the net receipts, for more than an hour on the charge that he “did not try.” Bal- duc finally received his end. The Eddie Buell-Battling Levine fight, the semi-wind-up, found favor Wwith fans, Buell winning the decision in eight rounds. Clarence Sloat of Baltimore gave everything he had to different parts of Whitey Bailor's face and anatomy, dropped him three times in the first round and finally earned & decision in six sessions. Mickey Lavenda of Fort Myer won the nod over Soldier Johnny Clark of Fort Washington in four rounds. Bill Mitchell, Swampoodle boy, kayoed K. ©O.

CAN MUSTER ALMOST FULL TEAM OF RIGHT-HANDERS Jim Bottomley Would Be Lone Exception and Card Leader Figures He Can Hit Any Kind of Pitching—Slab BY CHARLES “GABBY” STREET. Manager, St. Louis Cardinals. HE Athletics had a chance to | scout the Cardinals in the recent series at Philadel- phia, but that won't give them any advantage over us, and I know that Connie Mack is too smart an old bird to place too much reliance on any notes that his ambitious scouts took while we were playing the Phils. For instance, that 19-16 game can be thrown out as far as scouting value is concerned. We did show some powerful batting. but our pitching was terrible and when the pitching is bad, it can make the best team in the league look like a ! last place outfit. And another word ahout the scouting. We won't go into this world series blind, T've some good friends in Philadelphia, old ball players who “knew me when' and they've been watching the A's all year and have given me a pretty good line o “Gabby” Street. field all year may be a right field hitter in one series and give the sccuts the wrong impression. Also a batter who refers a high one may hit & couple of fl)w ones good and the scout who tells his manager that such a hitter should be given high ones is making it tough for that manager. Of course, we'll play percentage in this serfes. | pened to upset his stai We'll know where to play Staff Is Strong. for the different hitters and while per- centage doesn’t work out always in a short series, it is wise to play for it. I continue to hear a lot about Lefty Grove and his stuff. He must be a pretty good pitcher, all right, but did you ever happen to think that we could ut a team in the fleld with only one left-handed batter and that would be Jim Bottomley, and if anybody thinks Jim is a fish against left handers he’s Jjust all wrong. Douthit, Adams, Frisch, Hafey, Blades, Wilson or Mancuso, Gelbert and our pitchers are right-handed batters. Even Hallahan bats right handed, so we'll have at least that much of the per- centage in our favor when we face Grove. And what if we get Grove and Earnshaw out of there? That's where we've got the edge. We've t five pitchers all ready to go, and therefore we're better equipped to use our pinch hitters, because if we take a pitcher out for a batter, we know that we have several other hurlers who can go in there and pitch without weakening our defense. On the other hand, if Mack has only three pitchers he might hesi- tate to remove one, tflgecill]y if we hap- a little by a few early series bombardments. Big Year for Bottomley. One of the encouraging things of the late games of our pennant drive was the fine hitting of Jim Bottomley. Jim, you know, has had a remarkable year, considering all the bad luck he had. A player with less nerve would have been out half the season, but Jim stayed in there when he had a badly swollen thumb and carried on gamely. even when he knew that his batting average was going down and his fleld- iny But the thumb seems to be better now and Jim has helped us win many a game in the last couple of weeks, When I look back over the season and the hot pennant race, I can't help thanking my stars that I had a game- ster like Jim Bottomley to play first base for me. That boy has been mighty valuable and there never was a more loyal worker, (Copyrgiht, 1030, by the Christy Walsh Syndic VON ELM GIVES UP AMATECR STANDING Scores U. S. G.

If it 1sn't the task will fall to Mancuso, who did such remark- able receiving during the last two weeks of the terrific National League season, An Edge in Pitchers, Mancuso works superbly with all o pitchers and we have a number, first and second string, We have five regular | starters ready, the five who rotated so effectively doring the last two mont of the season —Grimes, Haines, Halla han, Johnsoa and Rhem. In this arra; 1 feel we have an edge on Connie Mac I say this realizing fully the class of] Mack's stars, Grove and Earnshaw. Defensively, with Hafey in Jeft field Douthit in center and Watkins in righ it looks to me as if ur outfleld is af least as skillful as Mack's three, Sim. m%-nua. }fimbl‘ndl llmls;i i r double-play infiel Bottomle; at first, Gelb>rt at short, Adams at third and myself, gives us the bulge, I think,. over Philadelphia four, Foxx at ' first, Bishop at second, Boley at short* and Dykes at third. We had more dou. ble plays than any other team in the National League, but there were five ) or six teams in the American with bet. ter double-play records than Mack's chém lons. itéea ochrane, pi ag cuso, will have the sdvln'a’e in experience, but it Wilson catches for us there's ng shade either way, Wilson is irded b many as the best catcher in base ball. That's how I rate him. They say the breaks are ¢ because the series opens in Ph! and most of the ga there if the series goes the limir, Listen, .. a good team wins anywhere. Mack’s team won o1 the road just about s easily as it did st home, and most of our victories the last four weeks of the season were turned in on foreign flelds,. And keeuour eyes on Gabby Btreet. We've played our heads off for this fel- low all season, and we'll play that way in the scries. He knows base ball inside and out. He’s had a remarkable record, this old-time battery mate of Walter Johnson. He was a class D ma; ars e 1929, and now is leading league pennant winner in & es. Yesterday T doffed my hat to Connie Mack. Today it's off to Gabby Street. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- Deper Alliance.) ] SMALLWO0D TO FIGHT. ROANOKE. Va. September 30.—Joe.
