The winning club Is a machine whose parts are. first of all, good friends, and next are units which work together swiftly without con sidering that they ate working to gether. You’ve got to have both the 'clut> and the "team” spirit in a successful baseball organization. I hope I have made clear just what each spirit is. A ball is hit. Every man knows from the very instant it leaves the bat where it is going and just what he should do. The play is carried out. The runner is disposed of.

The question of batting and pitching as the means of making a , winning club will naturally arise in the fan’s mind. That leads to arguments which would take up columns of space. I will not enter into such arguments. Being a hitter and not a pitcher, I think that for my own part I would rather have a ball club of good, free-swinging, hard-hitting fellows which would roll up a lot of runs than a team which had two or three cracking good pitch ers who could hold the other fel lows down to a very few runs. Runs, after all, are what count in the game, you know. With my’ club sending over six or eight or more in a game, I think I’d rather trust to a middle-class pitcher— and good fielding—to keep the other fellows from scoring so many. WOMEN APPLAUD ■N M GOODLY STOPSJITON NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—Eddie McGoorty, of Oshkosh, is sued today formal claim to the middleweight championship as the result of his victory over Jack Harrison, middleweight champion of England, by the knockout route at Madison Square Garden last night. This was the premier appear ance in this country of Harrison, who is the holder of the Lonsdale belt. It required 2 minutes and 54 seconds for the Western fighter to turn the trick with a hook to the jaw. Among the spectators wore a number of fashionably dressed women who applauded each knock down with great enthusiasm. Recently McGoorty knocked out Dave Smith, middleweight cham pion of Australia. In the second main bout Mike Gibbons, the welterweight cham pion, beat Tommy Maloney easily on points. McGoorty opened up with a right and left to the face, then stag gered the Englishman with a left hook on the jaw. Keeping his man continually’ on the defensive, he sent right and left blows to the head and, after a smashing right to the face and a right uppercut under the chin, he hooked Harrison's jaw with his left, sending him down for a count of nine. The Englishman got up groggy, and McGoorty, after landing three rights and three lefts on the head, with another left hook put him down again for the count of nine. The same blow a few seconds later sent Harrison to the floor for the third time, when he was counted out.

National League Wants to Dethrone Its President Tom Lynch Is Made a “Goat” by Owners of Clubs By W. J. Mcßeth. THERE is room for doubt as to whether the world's championship series is a good thing for the game. Base ball is public confidence —no more, no less. It is w’hat the public has made it. • Intricate organization to the con trary notwithstanding, its life is hanging by the thread of public approval. It has taken years and years of encouragement, whole souled purpose and struggle to place the nation's summer pastime upon its present exalted pedestal. And yet one wave of doubt would sweep away the apparent firm foundation like chaff before a gale. Baseball is an institution. It is a genuine, blue-blooded, clean and invigorating sport. Firmly estab lished, It will endure as long as the American race. It will endure— DEPEND ON GRIFF AND MACK TO TRAIN BOSTON Boston, sept. 24.—Jim Mc- Aleer, president and part owner of the Boston Red Sox and father of the All-Star se ries project, the move that put the Athletics on edge to defeat the Chicago Cubs In 1910 and the New York Giants in 1911, says that it is up to the Red Sox brother clubs to put them right for the forthcom ing clash with the Giants. McAleer hopes and believes that each and every club will put forth its best efforts to help condition the Red Sox for the fight, victory in which means continued prestige for the American league. He says every manager owes It to himself, the Red Sox and the league to send his best line up, including his s’.ongest pitch ing. against the Boston Speed Boys, especially in the last half dozen games of the season. The Red Sox still have a dozen games to play, with one more Yankee game they can play if they care to do so. In the final two series of the season, three games at Washing ton. September 28 and 30 and Oc tober 1, and three games at Phila delphia, October 3, 4 and 5. Man ager Stahl’s boys want Connie Mack and Clark Griffith to dish up their very best opposition. They ask nothing more than to but maybe not in the professional sense. That remains with the powers which control the profes sion. Here we are several weeks away from the classic close of the season and already there has arisen a stench of scandal. Charles Webb Murphy, president of the Chicago Cubs, appears to be a hard loser. He has questioned the integrity of the game from which he ran a shoestring into mil lions of dollars. He charges w hole sale collusion among the clubs of the National league—a conspiracy to discriminate against Chicago in favor of the champion Giants. Few among his associates have escaped the vltuperous tongue of the chesty little Windy City magnate. He has even assailed the honor of Thomas J. Lynch, the man that he himself advanced in compromise as president of the National league. Had Murphy’s ravings stopped be pitted against Walter Johnson, Bobby Groom and Tom Hughes in Washington and Jack Coombs, Chief Bender and Eddie Plank in Philadelphia. Inasmuch as McAleer's All-Stars of 1910 and 1911 did much to prime the Athletics for their settoes which resulted In such glorious triumphs, it is up to Connie Mack and his players to pay off part of the debt by reciprocating In like form.

This is due partly to an immense volume of practice that makes possi ble a very small profit on each Indi vidual case, partly to the very fine, modern equipment and partly to the fact that this establishment wishes to make lasting friends of its patients Thousands of pleased patients are walking, talking advertisements for the Atlanta Dental Parlors.

But, like the whinings of a w’hipped cur, his yelps got onto the nerves of his associates. Bickerings back and forth aroused the latent petty jeal ousies and hatreds of former days. The whole National league was taken by the ears until now no one knows kin or foe. But Murphy es capes It all. Tom Lynch Is the "goat.” The National league is after Lynch's scalp, according to the best informed authorities. Each of the several club owners has picked his candidate for the berth. The present executive’s strength lies in the dissension that divides his house. It will take a majori ty vote to unseat him, and by the present signs and tokens the old major body will never be able to get together to frame a majority vote for twenty years. Tn such case, Lynch would do well to stick around just for spite. He is tired of the job and he doesn't need the pin money the National league pays its president. If Lynch steps down and out, it will be the Na tlonal league’s loss. Be that as it may, the house cleaning should start nearer the ground floor. Charles Webb Mur phy has proved himself no fit per son to be connected with the pro motion of baseball, if half the sto-, riee told of him are true, or if half the interviews attributed to him.
