Flag-Winning Array of Players Must Be “Club” . A • • » w *»•••»• No Jealousies of Diamond Stars Must Exist John (“Chief”) Meyers ‘ (Giants’ Great Catcher.) ,-pHE fighting out of a world’s championship battle between *• two baseball teams that have -■■classed the competitors in their e . c etive leagues no doubt brings F ' tl . the minds of the enthusiastic ,V.rs of the game—it certainly doe> to the members of the teams— the question: ••What makes a winning ball club'.'” * . I will try to answer that ques t> ,-i as best 1 can. ; n . the first place, I believe that the most important thing of all is , t the members of the athletic .mgregation which is to represent a ■~ty must be a "club” and a "team." a "club” they must be all f 1 r>ls, all good fellows together. T v iyust have pride in their or- Kanization. There must be no jeal bies. no dissensions. Every man v,,,uld regard every other man— v i ether he is a regular or a sub- S . , ulc _as his pal, as a man he'd stick to through thick or thin. I am mighty glad to say that the X w York National league club men feel just that way. We all VP on our-visiting cards, after ~m names, the words, "New York Giants." and, believe me, 1 don't mind saying that every one of us f,. X a little swelling of the chest ■ n lie hands one of those cards ; out. Giants” Means Guarantee. The words "New York Giants” mean not only that we’re members f a baseball organization that's b st in the country, but they’re a guarantee that each of us is a •,gula - man —or else we wouldn't be able to sport. As a "club” we're proud to be 'mig to the Giants as a society man in New York is to say that he's a member of the Union, or Knicker bocker. or the Brook. We i-hare mil troubles and joys together, and like it. That, perhaps, is the first requi site of a pennant-winning organi zation —being a "club." Being a "team" is another mat ter. | Did you ever watch a skillful boxer at work? His eyes work, first of all. watching the moves of his adversary. With them, disarms work to find a vital i "int where he <an deliver his bio.. >:• ward off his enemy’s blow. Ills logs carry him forward into .tn aggressive at titude. or backward into a defen sive attitude. fiver all these his mind works, controlling each. Well, a successful baseball nine must be just like that —just like a fighter. His physical parts are, in an individual way, a "team.” They no k together, instantly, without uniting to size up a situation, my know, as soon as the situa tion arises, what they have to do, and they do it instinctively. So does the winning kind of a ball nine. And so does each player on ’hat nine. Makes Great Play Instinctively. Here is a little instance which ; happened only a few days ago: A aid hit ball was slammed at Lar y Dotle, who was playing a trifle deep beyond second base. He got it. miraculously almost, with one hand. There was a runner coming down from first who had started "ith the crack of the bat. Larry ■ < no chance, he knew instinc tive'y, to throw to the bag, be- ■iuso the play had been so swift. So he made a backward dive with hall in his hand, trusting to his <onse of location to hit the can- - before the runner did. Larry made it. That was only an individual P ay, of course; but it showed how tue "team instinct” runs. He knew 'hut his mates coula.i't cover the bag quickly enough to take his ". They knew it. too. and 't try. They relied upon him I i t. they knew exactly what he I try to do. And, wonderful th? play looked, it was expected ■i’ound our Infield. I" a ball is hit so that Merkle ; to go out of his territory to ■over it and leave the first bag un r-tected, the pitcher—no matter o he is—is over on first like a i!i h. He knows instinctively—just i°w is hard to tell—that he is p ded. And he's there. ’’•m may think: "That's simple— M's the first principle of base- Well, in away, it is. But ■ winning club does it. and the mg club does not; and that's the difference. Must Be Good Friends. ! be w inning club is a machine hose parts are, first of all, good ■ nds, and next are units which 1< together swiftly without con- f, ring that they are working to gether. You've got to have both the ; lib" and the “team" spirit in a ‘■essful baseball organization. I e I have made clear just what h spirit is. A ball is hit. Every man knows n the very instant it leaves the t where it is going and just what should do. The play is carried The runner is disposed of. ’"re is a comment that the spec >rs don’t hear: "Good boy, Mat- Nice work there. Fred;” "All :| ght, Chief.” 'he question of batting and bing as the means of making a ' king club will naturally arise in fan’s mind. That leads to guments which would take up >mns of space. I will not enter !r ' r > 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 fei lows down to a verv few runs AMERICAN LEAGUE Si' ::T T ■■. ?F F Chicago ??

WOMEN APPLAUD WHEN NGOORTY STOPS BRITON 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, w ho 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 were 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 w ith liis 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 TYRUS RAYMOND COBB SECURED 3 SAFE HITS OUT OF 4 TRIPS AT BAT DETROIT, MICH., Sept. 24.—Tyrus Raymond Cobb was in fine form today.

National League Wants to Dethrone Its President +•4 4-»4- 4-«4 4*4 4-*4- •!•••> 4«4 4-«4- Tom Lynch Is Made a “Goat” by Owners of Clubs By W. .1, M-Belli. < p HERE is room for doubt as j 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 what 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 ETOSTON 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 very best line up, Including his strongest pitch ing:. agaanst 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 whole 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 vituperous 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 Murphys 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. FINEST DENTAL WORK AT LOWEST PRICES There is no finer dental work done anywhere than by the Atlanta Dental Parlors, yet prices here are so low as to astonish those who have been pay ing the usual dentist's charges. This is due partly to an immense volflme of practice that makes possi ble a very small profit on each indi vidual case, partly to the very fine, modern equipment and paj'tly 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. They would not send their friends here if they had been overcharged or had been given Inferior service. The entrance to tihs handsomest den tal establishment in the South is at Peachtree street.
