Huhn as his partner, Gould d feated Charles Sand and Payne Whit- ney for the championship in doubies. Gould was in remarkable form. At present it look: it there is not a man in the world who has a chance to take away his honors. Gould won the world’s title from George F. Co- vey in Philadelphia, March 19, 1914. The story of Connie Mack forms i one of the greatest dramas that base- ball has ever known. Baseball, Leing a game of swift action and in- tense emotion, has always been chuck full of the dramatic. But we know of nothing in all the wide and winding * realm of sport that quite parallels the case of the | eminent Philadelphian. Speaking of Ups and Downs. | Here is a man who stands as the only living manager that ever won six pennants and three world cham- | pionships. 4 One who for four years had a ball { club that almost wrecked the league | by its overpowering strength. | Here is this same manager piloting ball club that finished last a yvear ago and today looks to be the weak- est machine in the major leagues. Connie is almost sure to finish a bad last once more. We doubt if all the dynamite used at Verdun could lift him higher than the cellar abode he rnow adorns. | a a Leader of Extremes. Apparently Fate has doomed man- ager Mack to a leader of wide ex- tremes. The games's allotted des- tiny has doomed him to have a ball ct bad for the game. And lest it be forgotten the span of his great clubs is far longer than the regime of his poor ones. No man is baseball has done more for the game and has gotten less in the way of financial reward. Only look at the individual stars he has developed—Plank, Coombs, Bender, Collins, Baker, Barry, Mc- Innis, Schang, Oldring ,Strunk, Dy- gert, Murphy, Davis and many others. No man has given cleaner or better baseball, and yet today, beyond fifty, when he should be reaping the re ward of wonderful achievement, h is starting all over again with little profit back of him for the great years he has known. | The Situation. We wonder how Mack feels today with a club doomed to last place When he looks about him. There is Boston, a pennant con- tender through a star that he de- veloped—Jack Barry. There 48 Chicago, pennant possibility through of his st —i2ddie Collins. There is New York, out of the rut at last through the strength im- parted by Baker, still another of his pupils. 3 Of the four clubs that another strong another have the z | Giants had w b that is either too good Or t0o | pjemenic in 100 LIGHT Grénfland Rice best chance the bulk man who the game. The fact that he was paia for these stars has no significance when it is known that he has made less than per cent. on his investment, with six pennant yvears behind him. If he could make no money with a pen- pant winners where is his fortune to come from a tail ender? The Ways of Fate. The ways of Fate are beyond understanding. The man financed the American league, man who stood a chance to $500,000 and not make a cent, been crowded out through troubles. We refer to to win a of their is flag three owe puissance to the now a mere trailer in who the lose has money | Somers. The man whe gave the American league its greatest glory from play- | ing standpoint, Connie Mack, is now headed so swiftly for the Subterran- | ean Country that nothing can check his decent. It was the machine built up by Mack that stopped the wild charge of the National league and prevented the younger circuit from being known as a dependent body. The the world cham- pionship in 190 Cubs and Pirates had utterly crushed the American league winners in 1907, 1908 and 1909. The National league had won the inter-league series four years out of five. And then Mack arrived with his legion in 1910, dismantled the Cubs and whipped the Giants to a froth, thereby re-establishing his cir- cuit in the hearts of fandom, Building Back. No game can keep men like Connie Mack and John McGraw down very ong. Both are fine organizers—team builders—and though suppressed for a spell will get their balance again and start moving upward. We re- call the club that Mack sent West just ten years ago. It was one of the poorest looking machines a big league club ever had in the field. It was a joke outfit in almost every particu- lar. But two years later Connie was giving Hughie Jennings a Scptember battle for the top, and tw fter that he had the world series c pions. vears Considerable Zig-Zag. Yes, it's a takes onc ig-zag course baseball it starts moving from the beaten way. In addition to Mack, doomed to last place, and McGraw, struggling to-wipe out the blot of a VISITING BOWLERS EASY FOR LOCAL Home Teams Clean-Up Rivals From Hartford and Bristol—Games Close and Exciting.
