TEN
i.anigan’s Casual Comment On
Baseball and Affairs
The magnates of organized and un
organized baseball ought lo get to
gether and award p vote of thanks to
the Weather Man tor the way he
treated them on Monday, April 13, and
Tuesday, April 14. True, the gentle
man did not furnish them with a brand
of weather calculated to lure everyone
to the ball yards, hut he did come
through with a species of weather that
allowed the staging of all ten of the
openings set for the two mentioned
dates. Cincinnati was the one place
where the Weather Man behaved real
badly and in Hedinnd the Reds arid
the Cubs were able to go through
with the combat, even if it did driz
zle all the time the highly trained ath
letes were contesting.
Beyond all question of doubt, it was
a good opening for both the O. H ers
and th<» F.-U. Hers. From the public
print it is difficult to learn wnich
kick-off gang had the bigg* st assem
blage, but It is quite likely that the
Baltina rn Terrapins will put in a
claim for having played before the
greatest number of spectators. Theirs
was a capacity crowd, all right, but
it is a ques f lon whether, as clalmfd,
there were 27.092 paid persons in 11 an
ionvilb* on tin* Monday when the heus
played their fhH| championship bai
tie. It takes IpTite a bail yard to
house 28,000 bugs, though we well re
call the time when the l’olo Oroutfds,
able to accommodate about that num
ber, used to have 35,000 and 40,000.
Those were the good old days when
the magnates used to see double.
Jack Quinn (right name Jack Pious)
pitched for the Baltimore outlaws as
if he wasn’t swan* that James K.
Gaffney of Boston and Tammany Hall
had entered suit against Ned Hanlon
for damages for having relieved the
Braves of his services. Quinn has a
habit of always winning his first
game incidentally. When he Joitied
the Richmond Club of the Virginia
Htate league in 190 H he opened with
a win and •that season didn't know
what a defeat meant, -winning 14
games in a row for the Virginians.
Dlseovi red in the act of setting the
Virginia League a-fire by Scout Ar
thur Irwin of tlie Highlanders, Quinn
joined tin* Karrellltes, then directed by
George Stallings, in the Mpr‘ng of 1909
and his inaugural effort for the Hill
tou team whs a triump, giving him
10 successes in a row. He lost his
next bout. When Mr. Pious debuted
in the National last season, on August
30, in Brooklyn, he subdued the Hu
perbas on the basis of t» to 1. Then
Jack fops the first game he twirls
for the Terrapins.
Another Federalist who ran true to
form on opening day was Tom Heaton
of the Brooklyns. The Tip Tops' top
tiotch twirler drew the pitching assign
ment from Charley Dooin when Charles
Hercules Ebbets’ palatial hall yard
was dedicated with a national League
combat b"t season and responded by
leading tu* Phil* to a 1 to 0 victory
over the Huperbus. In Pittsburg on
Tuesday. Heaton, pitching tor a Brook
lyn team and not against one, landed
his event, 1 to 0.
Bet us lamp the repeater* in organ
ized ball. Sherwood Magee, the quar
relsome captain of the shot-to-piecea
Quakers, is one Of them. Previously l
think 1 have called attention to the
fact that Sherwood, whenever be bats
saginst Richard W. Marquard, hits
with the same fervor that Joe Tink
er used to against Christy Mathew
son. The dope shows that when Ma
gee first hatted against the noted van
devilllun and the author of 19 straight
in 1913, which Wli on May f», he twice
poled the hull out of the lot, Just as
he did in tlie pry-off game of 1914
against the same individual.
Two more repeaters are Walter
Perry Johnson of the atiotinls and Ray
W. Collins of ih** Red Sox When
ever these two great exponents of the
flinging art hook up, the whitewash
in sure to be spilled. They faced each
other four lime* last season and on
each occasion one of the teams was
blanked. On April 23 Washington got
six 'uns und Boston none; on May
30 Boston one tally and Washlgtoti
none; on July 3 Washington one tally
and Boston none, a«l o Angst 28 Bos
ton one tally and Wnshlgtnon none.
Of the last two mentioned dates the
contests aan into overtime, the first
going 15 Innings, the second 11.
The result* of the game at the Polo
Grounds, at Khhsts Field and at what
once wan called Fusel Meld save a dla
tlnct Jolt to the theory that a team
does well to stay In Dixieland until
the eleventh hour. The Yanks and
Buperba». who have been free ting to
death in Greater New York and vicin
ity, came through With impressive
win*. In Philadelphia the Phils, who
have been home for almost a fort
night, easily took the measure of the
Giants, who were supposed to he in
what Franklin P. Adams culls the "p.
of c." (meaning pink of condition).
Kvidei..ly one man who wasn't In
the pink of condition was Richard W.
Marquard and evidently President Ba
ker of the Phillies would do well to
hire a man who will be on hand ev
ery day to pick a quarrel with the
captain of the Quakers —Battling Ma
gee.
No one knows whether it is wise or
not to hsve a team stay in the South
until the last minute Frank Chancs
and Wilbert Robinson having gone
on record of saying it was a short
while ago.
The story of the opener at Cincin
nati shows that Charles Lincoln Her
soff tsn t going to consider the feel
ings of the scorers In running the
Reds this year Charles l.lnooln, Just
as soon as hts team gained a nice
lead on the Cuba, rush'd in his re
serve*. having almost an entirely new
ltn*-up when the combat ended. Even
with the subs in action. Hube Benton
managed to limit the O’Dav* to a pair
of safeties. Wonder if while he waa
doing so he thought of the first game
he pitch*d against the llltnola combi
nation Here's a reminder to hltn if
h« didn't
It was on June 2*. IVIO. and Ben
ton, then making his first National
league appearance, hunded out 11
IkasscM to the Cub*, aided and abetted
by Fred Walker, now, 1 believe, with
the Pittsburgh Feds
Ro much for Benton, one of Red -
land's hemes on April 14. 110 4 As
for Hersog, who will have to man
age the Reds and their hoard of (Il
ls season 1 see thM Ram
Weller (Jim Orusinberrv i of the Chi
cago Tribune calls renewed attention
to the fact that Char.es Lincoln Is a
lucky guy. Hersog. says Ham tor
Jim) had trouble In Boston and wu
turned over to New York Just In time
to cut into a big World's Series melon.
He had ttouhle In New York and was
turned over to Cincinnati to the man
agerial job with a fat salary.
An oddity about the opening In
Philadelphia was that in Quakertown
the official* of the club expected to
see the Honorable John K. Tenor
there. The New York Sun is author
ity for the statement that John Heyd-
I ler we nt to Philadelphia expecting to
meet his boss there and have a con
ference with him on certain matter.
Toner was in Brooklyn and Charles
Hercules Ebbets advertised the fact
| that lie would be at Ebbets Field in
the Brooklyn papers on Sunday and
Monday. When it was announced
that Tener had accepted the National
League presidency Charles Hercules
| got the governor's promise to attend
the Brooklyn opening. Evidently
William F. Baker is not a keen peru
ser of the public prints. Possibly ho
much of bis time is taken up with
! law matters that he cannot scan the
| papers as he ought to.
The sacrifice fly was found very
useful by the able athlete,' on opening
day. The Cubs sidestepped a shut
out because Hcinie Zimmerman pro
duced an aerial sacrifice and the win
ning run in the Tiger-Brown contro
versy was recorded through the me
dium of a fly to the outer district.
Incidentally, I would like to have an
expression of opinion as to who gets
! credit for winning that game. Jean
Hu hue left the game when the ver
dict was going against his Jennlngs
j Res, but left it only because of an
I injury. He had pitched 12 and a third
, innings. Da unit finished up, but it
; seem* as if comrpon sense should be
employed and the triumph awarded
Dubuc. As to who lost the game for
I the Browns, there should be no que*
I tlon. Bill James did. He wasn’t re
Hponsible for the two runs that TyrU/»
t Raymond Cobb drove in, because the
tallies were on the Hacks when he
I relieved Wellman. Bill was, however,
i responsible for the winning run and
lso the defeat goes against him.
There have been quite a few’ changes
| in tlie New York papers among the
baseball writers. Jim Mcßeth, long
j with The American, has gone to The
| Morning Hun, to take Joe Villa's place.
I Villa has gone to The Evening Hun.
; succeeding Walter Trumbull. Trum
j bull now' is on The World. The Globe
swapped Mark Roth to The Evening
Hun for Frank VanNess, and Joe Villa
drafted Bill Hlocurn from The Times.
Hid Mercer still is with The Globe,
Mill Hanna with The Hun, Fred Bleb
and George Underwood with The
Press and Harry Gross with The
Times. Hey wood Broun, once with
The Telegraph, now Is with The Trib
une.
