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. Gen’l Evans Off For South to Look After Militia in Event War Washington, D.
