Neither Coombs aor Bender ha shown the wonderful form of a year ago. Morgan and Plank performed in fine style all sea son. The catching department has been well looked after by Ira Thomas. The Athletics are made up of young men who like to play ball.- There' lsu't a lazy player on the team. From the moment the Mack's men put on their uniforms they display energy. In practice they show ginger and speed, while In championship games they nev er say die. Even though opponents ar weak, the champions do not let up. They seem to enjoy the task of fatten ing their batting averages, and they revel In difficult plays. On the bench they talk baseball, and wben mistakes are made there's no ill feeling. Great plays prompt enthusiasm and words of praise, while Mack at all times Is the king pin. Lack of jealousy and fric tion Is one of the reasons for the suc cess of the Athletics. Take the case of Harry Davis, for Instance. The vet eran has been supplanted at first base by young Mclnnls. yet the latter has no more ardent supporter thun Davis, who Is always helping the youngster. Mack's quiet disposition, coupled with firmness, has worked wonders, i He knows baseball and how to, handle players. His motto is "IMay ball," and he never varies It. Umpires are let I lone and adverse decisions do not up set the team. In developing th Ath letics Mack has tried to strengthen ev ery department and results thus at tained would seem to Indicate that he hasn't lost a trick Ye and we have the famous "ALL FUEL" heaters for coal or wood.

Such a feellug wa well Justlned. With such an enormous ad vantnge it looked as if the Tigers could nurse their lead at no great strain on the players.. They had enough of a lead to sustain a slump aud get back on a winning streak again. When the Athletics went on their first trip west they disappointed their followers. V They didn't show anything until the trip was almost over. De ' troit was the third city In the west ! where th.ey.ca lied. Philadelphia fans reslgued all hope when Detroit beat the Athletics In the first two games. Hut it was the old story ot Mack being best In adversity. His team didn't quit. The tactician whipped his players together the very next day, when they started t sensa tional winning streak. , They took the next two from the Tigers, beat Cleve land In the. next four and then traveled east and continued their success. ' ; They , won twenty out of twenty-two. games before they had a slight reac tion.' This spurt of the world cham pions made big Inroads on the Tigers' lead.' From a twelve game lead ad vantage tt shrunk violently, lingering quite- a ' time around the three gam mark. But the Tigers couldn't hold Miwtt end Chicago. . - .TtiVi year's race has twen a two team thi iead, nnd on Jaly 4 the chtm Cfesr, Philadelphia and Detroit mo-- pj0M 0f the world came to their owa ggqnftiwy the gladness of the whole 'f Tigers started the season on t'i gallop and at the end or Apm neia a rpjf lead of twelve games won and two asst. wHIle the Athletics were in.the sec--mrr division. During May the Tigers ssBB beld tbe tlrf load, and many ex M nredlcted they would walk away ronfalou. But the more con- MtiM thought that a lead was aUaOfcap 4o Jennings' men, which later nravad to be ie. ot June, when the n&n held a M lead over Ue Ath gain by assumlug first place In the American league race after It had been held by Detroit since the open ing of the season. . The Mackmen didn't have the honor very kmg. The very next aay tney toppled out again, and Detroit was back. They went west again and struck a calamity in Detroit, which swept four straight games from their indent enemy. Therefore In a Uttle more than a week after Independence day Detroit had gained first place and was leading the Athletics by five and sne-half games. With the season more than hnlf fin ished, the Athletics' chances looked worse than tver. but the Mack wreck ing crew saved things. The team was soon back Unlit lug again, and the lead worked gradually but steadily below i lie five and one-half mark. The Athletics returned home July 25 to fight the western teams. They truck the westerners quick and hard. Klrst It was Cleveland and then De troit that were made dUzy by the monnreb's speed. Neither was St. Louis nor Chicago spared. On Aug. 4 the Athletics for the sec ond time this season had fonght their wav to first place, the difference be ing that this time they held It" Dar ing September their lead Increased steadllv. nnd they entered the last week of the race practically eased up. In all but one department the Ath letics are a better ball club now than they - were a..j:ear ago. The outfield, while tt is not a wonderful trio by a lone shot, is a shade more reliable than that jrhlch bumped the, Cubs last year. There are two or three seta of out fielders in the big leagues that rate higher than Lord, Oldring and Mur phy, but Mack's strength always has been in his infields. . There is no quartet in the game to day that combines with baseball such Intelligence as that of Mclnnls, Collins. Barry and Baker. The four are won derfully fast and accurate fielders and nossess great throwing arms. The In field was fast In 1910, but tt Is speed ler this season. Last year narry Davis was on first, but last July he was re placed by Mclnnls. For all bis youth and Inexperience Mclnnls Is a big Im provement over Davis. Right now 'Stuffy" looks the equal of any first baseman in the American league, bar ring Hal Chase. First stution last year was the only comparatively weak one, but It Is now well covered.
