Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New York, Sept. 13. WITHOUT saying so in precisely worded phrases. Connie Mack nominates Rube Waddell as the greatest southpaw of all time. Strangely, it has fallen to Connie’s lot to handle four of the game’s greatest southpaws—Waddell, Plank, Grove and Walberg. Commenting on the Rube, Connie laconically admits he had everything. The implication is that some of the others were not as fully equipped. m e a Tyrus Raymond Cobh, who hatted against all sorts of southpaw pitching for twenty-three years says there was only one perfect southpaw, and he was Plank. Cobb claims the Gettysburg Gatling had everything, ‘ including a head." a a a DAZZY VANCE is not so sure the Cubs will take the Athletics. He thinks the fast ball pitching of Grove and Eamshaw is likely to bother the National League sluggers no little. Vance is no doubt basing his opinion on experience. Until recent times he was the speed ball king of the majors, and the one club that consistently failed against him was the Cubs. a a a It was a shoddv, unkempt performance on the nart of Vance when be failed to fan more than ten of the Cubs. Apnarently there Is something about their batting technique that makes them uncertain and erratic against fast ball pitching. This may be an important detail to remember. an a Incidentally Vance may not be back with the Brooklyns next season. He has had a mediocre season and there is official talk of shipping him elsewhere. Vance negotiated himself into the highest nriced contract ever bestowed upon a soupbone in the early spring, a document calling for *25.000. He hardly has delivered up to the standard logically expected of such an estate. tt a a Vance is said -T to have incurred the wrath of the normally genial Wilbert Robinson with the consequence that this gentleman has let it be known that if he continues as manager Vance, must go. Os course, there Is some question of whether Robinson will continue as manager. The official family of the Brooklyn club is still operating at cross purposes. It is much easier to unscramble a bowl of chop suey than to forecast with any degree of certainty what the official family will or will not do. tt tt tt At the of the season George Herman Ruth picked the clubs in the American League to finish in this order: Nfw York. St. Louis. Detroit. Philadelphia, Washington. Chicago. Cleveland and Boston. In the National his prediction was that the clubs would finish: Chicago, Pittsburgh. New York, St. Louis. Cincinnati, Brooklyn. Boston and Philadelphia. tt tt a IT begins to appear as if the great man knows more about the clubs in the old league than in his own league. He stands a very good chance of calling the turn on the first four clubs, in exact order, in the National. but he won’t be even close in his own league. a a a He picked the Athletics to finish fourth and they have dominated the race since 'une. There will be little glory for the ankees in finishing second since they r;re likely to be more than 100 points back of the leaders. The Browns and the Tigers probably will wind up with first • ivtslon berths. Just as Ruth predicted, :ut they won't be as high in the standings as he promised. a a u Ruth made a bad guess on the Cleveland* whom he nominated for seventh dace, but in this he was not alone. Few of the experts rated them as possessing first division strength. They have been the surprise team <# the two leagues. tt tt tt JOHN PICUS, otherwise Jack Quinn, will start one of the games for the Athletics against the Cubs. Connie Mack believes a spitballer will be effective against the westerners. Picus is one of the grand old men of baseball. He refuses to give his age. but it is a recorded fact that he served in the SpanishAmerican war. and since infants could not enlist in the army at the time, it is reasonable to assume that Picus’ age is between 45 and 50. a a a An Interviewer recently asked Picus whether he always has been a syltbali piteher. “Oh. not always," answerd Picus.. “I’ve only been u ing it for the last twenty-one years."

Tribe Draws Blanks at Toledo

I f\u Timm Shrf "I ! TOLEDO, Sept. 13.—Lefty Hall, Tribe rookie hurler, pitched fair ball against the Hens here Thursday in the wind-up of the series with the Hens, but his mates couldn’t get him any runs. In fact, the Hoosiers were baffled by Alex Ferguson most of the way and the Tribe’s best hitters failed to find a safe spot with their drives. Toledo played errorless ball. Weakens in Eighth After the Hens pounced on him for one run on a double and triple in the first round, Hall settled down and held the locals runless until the eighth, when they launched a strong attack and scored three runs on five hits. Three Toledo double plays helped Ferguson blank the Indians. In the sixth inning two Tribe pastimers were caught at the plate, Connolly on a grounder by Hall and Judd was doubled up trying to score after Brcwn snared Warstler’s fly in short right field. Wingard Shines Toledo collected twelve hits off Hall, Wingard poling three to lead the attack. Os the Indian hits, Connolly got two, Riddle one and Judd one. The contest was run off in swift time, requiring only one hour twelve minutes. The series of four games was divided. * It was the last meeting of Indiana and Hens this season. The Indians also have played out their string with Columbus.

Johnny Doeg Attempts to Halt Tilden; Mercur Battles Hunter. OLD-TIMERS FAVORITES Reversals, Common in Tourney, Possible. BY WILLIAM J. DUNN United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, L. 1.. Sept. 13. The business of teaching modern youngsters to keep their place is becoming more and more difficult. William T. Tilden and Frank Hunter, two venerable gentlemen whose years and experience should merit them the absolute respect of younger men, have spent the last five days in spanking ambitious youths who refused them this respect. Their task is still unfinished. At the West Side Tennis Club today Tilden faced the necessity of subduing John Doeg, a young giant from Santa Monica, Cal., who believed that he, instead of his elder, should be a finalist in the men’s national singles championships Saturday At the same time Hunter was similarly enagged with Fritz Mercur, just out of Lehigh university, who also lacked respect for the plans of an older man. Respect Ability Neither Tilden nor Hunter expected their young opponents to bow their heads without a fight. They realize the power behind the racquets of the pair and regarded both as dangerous opponents. The old-timers were the favorites, but there were those in the gallery who believed that either, or both, of the youngsters might slip in with a surprise victory. Mercur relied upon a sound, wellbalanced game for his hope of victory. Doeg planned to match height and driving power with that of the former champion in his effort to break through to the finals. v Upsets have been common in this tournament. The first came only a few minutes after the championships were inaugurated last Saturday when Arnold Jones eliminated Gregory Mahgin with comparative ease. Numerous Uflfeets Since that time George Lott has bowed to Wilmer Allison; Berkeley Bell has lost to Edward Feibleman and Allison, in turn, has bowed to Mercur. In addition, there have been any number of minor surprises cropping up at unexpected moments. Hence, the chance of another—or two more—upsets today was not without the realm of possibility. Besides —today is Friday the 13th ! Tilden’s victory in Thursday’s quarter-final round, over Van Ryn. required four sets, the score being. 7-5, 2-6, 9-7, 6-2. Hunter played the champion of 1914 and 1916, R Norris Williams, winning in straignt sets, 6-0, 6-4, 6-3. Doeg needed only three sets to eliminate the last invader from another country—Bunny Austin of England—by the score of 6-4, 6-4 6-3. Mercur’s victory over Allison was scored 8-6, 10-8; 6-4.
