No feam in the big lea- gues has had so many star flingers in when they joined the Quakers. Alexander_the Great heads the list, of course. He joined the Quakers In the spring of 19i1°at Birmineham, Ala, He was a raw-bo: lad, fresh from the farm in Nebraska with only a year's experience in- Scranton as an asset. Dooin and Pat Moran worked with mp.ifd fooky Riezity ous of the greatest pitchers in the game. George Chalmers became a member of the Quakers at the same time as did Alexander. For two seasons “Dut” ‘was a wonder. Then his arm “crack- ed” and he lost his effectiveness. But the development of Chalmers into a star was a feather in Dooin’s cap and the misfortune which weakened the ®rm of the flinger cost the game & remarkable mound workman. Addison Brennan, a southpaw, join- ed the Phils in 1910, but he was a re- cruit then. After two campaigns un- der Doofn and Moran, with part of a season in Buffalo, ‘Ad became one of the best left-handers in the game and his future was rosy. However, he listened to the Feds and last spring jumped to Chicago. Tom Seaton showed up at the Hot Springs, Ark., camp of the Phillies in 1912. He had a strong arm and wrg willing, but he was far from a finished pitcher. Dooin and Moran worked with Seaton from morning till night and when the 1912 season started, he jumped into the game immediately and made good. His work in 1918 stamped him as the best twirler in the . leagne—Mathewson not excepted. Some batsmen said he had as much “stuff” as Wnlt:x‘ Joll:’nxo;. Ho;va‘«;;r. Tom grasped the gold offered by the leral ‘League last spring and the rooklyh, Feds got the benedit of the labor ‘of Dooin and Moran. ‘With Seaton and Brennan Feds and Chalmers’ arm virtually gone Dooin started this season with only Alex- ander of the great flingers he had de- veloped. But he did not quit. Erskine Mayer had shown promise in 1913 and this year he has developed into = didates for the Academy football team. The candidates are quite light, al- though they looked to be of ‘a very promising material. The team this year will be made up of practically all new men, as there are only five veterans back who have earned their initlal. The veterans are Stanley, end; Wilcox, guard; Henault, tackle; Avery and Murtha, halfbacks. Regular practice will be started Mon- day, when it is thought that more will report, All tandidates who reported Friday were assigned lockers and suits. Man- ager Mulkins has not quite completed his schedule, but will have it ready in a few days. A new captain will be Siiosmivcti of faubcinte (IRias nett week. The athletic house during the sum- mer has been thoroughly cleaned, new shower baths with a fine cement fioor have been installed and a new roof has been added, A second team will be organized as soon as possible and will probably be in charge of Horace Coyl, who has had considerable experience in coach- ing athletic teams. STALLINGS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAVIS’ SUCCESS. Plucky Braves’ Manager Has Un. earthed a Real Star. George S. Davis, the Boston Braves’ young pitcher, who surprised the base- ball world Wednesday by shutting the Phillies out without a hit or a sun, is the son of former State Senator Davis of Buffalo. Young Davis attracted widespread attention two years ago when he pitched for the Williams col- lege team. He was induced to turn professional by Trainer Barret of the Yankees and was signed by President Farrell at $5,000 a year. Davis didn't progress under Harry _Wolverton's management, and after 11 runs had been_ecored ‘off him in one inning by the Cleveland Naps in'a game on the Hilltop it was decided to send him to the Jersey City club. As a pitcher for the Skeeters the former collegian had fair success, but he dldn’t like minor league company. He believed that he could hold his‘own' in the big circuits. He also had so much money of his own that he said he didn’t have to play ball for a liv- ing. Jersey City sent him back to the Yankees in the fall of 1912, therefore, and he went to Bermuda with Chance the following spring. Davis, however, didn’t tarry there long, for he had come back to be married. Chance later sent him to the Rochester club with no string attached and Rochester a year ago last month sold him to the Boston ‘Braves. Stallings, who managed the Buffalo club in 1912, had seen Davis pitch for the Skeeters and had tabbed him in his mental notebook. “It you can develop a spitter you'll beat ‘em all” said Stallings to the Williams college man last spring. Davis ::%t: tofl;)rlc‘:fi‘e ‘with the wet ball e made such remarkable progress that Stallings waxed enthusiastic. He predicted over a month ago that Davis if hb mastered control of this delivery would clinch the pennant for the Braves. Davis pitched a few in- nings against the Phillies last week and showed enough skill to warrant another trial, which he received Wed-~ nesday. Davis is a right hander with ability to throw a fast ball and a sweeping curve. (He is a smart fellow, confident, game and ambitious. Stall- ings promised to make him famous and evidently he has succeeded, Davis if he can repeat the wonderful form wonder -worker. Mayer, with the 1913 team behind him, would be almost as great a flinger as was Seaton. Ben Tincup, the Indlan, has been coached every day until he is advanc- isg to stardom fast. Marshall, also gives promise of being a big winner in another year. Oeschger, Mattison, Jacobs and Baumgardner all are pos- sibilities and out of that quartet Dooln and Moran expect to have at least two able performers in 1915. Rixey bas the “stuff”, but for some reason he has not shown it this year. Look over the Quaker pitching corps ~#_the Tast five vears. Then have a glance at the men who hurl for the Cuscr DIg league clubs. Where will you find a manager who has been so successful in the development of raw recruits? Remember, too, that never have they had a team the equal of the Athletics, Glants or ofher cham- nirne Tehind them Hats off to Dooin and his able assistant, Pat Moran. 10 T cet the idea that these youn i orow in' the “bushes” ani merely are plucked by the scouts sent .. _y woss Dooin. True enough. all of them, possess some natural obility, but it is not the brand that baffles the Wagners, Dauberts and Zlmmermars of the National League ‘slugging bri- gade. The recruit flingers have to be taught the arc from the “A” of it on up. Go to the spring training camp of ihe Quakers There you whi find Dooin and Moran wearing a bizg mitt and stopping the curves cf these raw flingers until _their bands are swol- I=:: and sorc. They begin after break- fast and frequenty they keep at it until sundown. The motlons, the de- livery, the concealment of the inten- tinn to pitch a curve or a fast one— all of thess points. whick mesn so much .in the success of a big learus twirier aro driil@ into the stude untfl be goes through them in his slecp. And that is _why Alexander, Chalmers Scfton, Brennan, and now Mayer, Tincup, Marshall and others have become or are becoming star maojor league twirlers-of the sphere O'TCOLE CHEAPER THIS TIME. Pirates Dispose of Pitcher Who Cost Thom $22,500, to Glants, Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh National leagve club, has announced that Marty O'Toole, plicher, had bene sold to the New York club of the National league Mr. Dreyfuss refused to give detalls on the trans- action other than the deal was com- pleted this week and O'Toole would Join the New York team in New York at onca. | O'Toole was bought from the St. Paul club .of the American association by Pittsburgh in 1911 for $22,500 and the deal established a record for the cash payment of a minor league play- er. The New York club pald cash for O'Toole and while -the terms of the deal were not announced the figure does not_approach the original price paid by Pittsburgh. Matty a Field Director. ‘When “Christy” Mathewson is pitch- ing he is the fleld director of the film play. It has been said many times, and correctly, too, that “Matty” has no more on the ball than many other pitchers, but that his head work makes him the master of them all. This is true in more ways than merely pitch- ing to batters. He watches the base runners closely and when a ball is ed to the infleld it is“Matty” who - instrnctiors to the fielder hand- ling the ball. He has saved many a cluse zame in this way. of Wednesday will help James, T and Rudolph beyona measure. ~ > Credit for the development of this new pitching star belongs entirely to Stallings, who discovered that he pos- sessed talent two years ago. Fred Mitchell, the Braves' veteran coach, is also entitled to praise. He worked patiently day after day instructing Davis in private until he notified Stall- ings that the Buffalo was ready. CLARKE’S LAST YEAR IN BASEBALL. His Leaving Makes Second One of the Famous Triumvirate, Clarke, Chance and McGraw. When the Natlonal league pennant race of 1915 gets under way a fleld leader Who.has seen more continuous Serdhm as a manager in its rangs than ang other leader now in the game will te am ng the missing. From official circles in Pittsburgh comes the news that Fred Clarke is now serving his last campaign at the head of the Buc- caneers and another man will be in charge before next season rolls around. His passing will leave John McGraw as the only remaining member of the noted triumvirate—Clarke, Chance and McGraw—which has accounted for ev- ery National league gonfalon since Ned Hanlon led his Brooklyn Superbas home in front in 1900. Clarke has ac- counted for four National league pen- nants and two world’s champlonships: Chance won four pennants and twe Forid's cnamplonships, and McGraw as gain Ve nnant: world's ttle. e St che Clarke went to Pittsburgh at the be- glnning of the meason of 1900, so he has been in active charge of the Pi. rates for 15 successive seasons. He was included in the 14 players who were transferred to the. Smoky City from Louisville when Barney Dreyfus, Wwho had been at the head of the Louisville club, purchased an inter- est in the Pittsburgh club. Fourteen Colonels, as the Louisville players were known when that city was represented in the 12-club National league circutt, Were transferred to Pittsburgh for five Pirates and the sum of $25,000. Other notables besides Clarke in this trans- fer were Hans Wagner, Claude Ritch- ey, Tommy Leach, Charles Phillippi and Rube Waddell. Waddell remained only two seasons, Ritchey until 1906, Phillippi until 1911,' Leach until 1912, and Wagner is still there with Clarke, HOLDEN A FREE AGENT.

The Baltimore club was censured by the commission for not suspending the player for not reporting to it. follow- ing his salé by New York to Balti- more. ~ Holden disappeared after his sale by New York and by the time he reported to Baltimore the place he was to fill on that team had been given to another and both teams re- fused to acknowledge claim to him.

Says Men Are All Alik In the Woman's Home Companion appeared the story of a coquette in which the coquette gives the following advice to her cousin: “Don’t make the stupid mistake thousands of women make. Don't! Every woman thinks her husband is different. But, trust a worldly woman, my dear, of much ex- perience, men are all alike. They tire of what they know is entirely their own. The thing a man should never lose sight is that his wife is attractive to other men as well as to himself.” The Bully and Reason. The bully depends on main strength. A bullying nation is as disgusting as & bullying man. A strong man, mor- ally and physically, relies on his sense of justice, a strong nation has “a de- cent respect to the opinions of man- kind,” and will be as sensitive of its honor in keeping its word, as an upright man in his dealings with others. The bully will not reason. Simplicity and Nobility. Between simple and noble persons there is always a quick intelligence; they recognize at sight and meet on a better ground than the talents and skills they may chance to possess, namely, on sincerity and uprightness. —Emerson.
