PORT 17 Robby, King of Brooklyn, devel- ¢ped Marquard into a great pitcher by pumping confidence in the emi- nent Rube several years ago. When Marquard taded out later on Robby made him over into another winner by pumping in another supply of confidence. Robby took Jack Coombs Philadelphia figured him Larry Cheney when Chicago considered him all in, Chief Meyers when New York turned the Chief adrift, and several others who were tagged as h beens. Robby inoculated them all with the serum of hope and faith and confl- dence, and if you care to examine the Standing of the Clubs today you may discover just how successfully this same portly citizen of Brooklyn %as been. when through This Confidence Stuff. Some ball clubs are better than others and some are a little worse. But as a rule there is a greater dif- ference mentally than physically. And by the mental difference we mean confidence and faith in one’s Bbility to win. It here that Brooklyn, is at his We recall a visit to the Brooklyn bench early in the spring. But we can recall no greater confidence on any club than we found there. ‘‘We are going to win sure’’ saild Mar- quard and Meyers, “and there is the answer.” It was one of the largest wers we have ever seen.

But beating Brooklyn in a pinch s no longer any fat, pudgy assign- ment. The Robins are blowing some- thing after the manner of the Braves of 1914 and the Phillies of 1915. You may recall how badly these two clubs cracked under the ghastly strain. Brooklyn is cracking in much the same way. She hasu’t any better pitching staff than Boston, but quite a better attack, and this means an advantage of no inconsiderable note. The Other Three. Pat Moran is making a wonderful fight, when you figure that Mayer and Chalmers have been of little use and that Fred Luderus is batting 80 points under last year. Stallings has been handicapped by the wealkest hitting in the major leagues. His Braves are batting 2 points lower than the Athletics, who ve three cheers at four or five hits game. McGr: start with his pitching in rout, now that he has added Herzog Benton he has in many ways the most dangerous club in the league. But whether he can make up the long gap in two months is another matter. If Brooklyn skids a trifle the three named will close in at top speed, with Boston, despite her weak bat- ting, second choice. But the Braves are hitting only .225, and a .225 club wins a pennant about once every ten or fifteen years. a w was handicapped by a bad but and The Worth of Alexander. There is very little chance of any Philly slump with Alexander around Big Alex ha won over twenty gam five more than any other pitcher in the league. He is even more effective {han he was last year, and if Mayer and Chalmers had only come to his rescue as they did a year ago Moran would be in the lead. Brooklyn is depending in the main on Jeff Pfeffer, who has won sixteen unpossible to get peeved at Brooklyn ho write us violent letters for giving their ball club unlimited in these daily dispatches.
