By Tycobb the world s Champion batsman and greatest Al round player. Arguments aver the respective merits of various forms or systems of attack Are always going on. Among baseball fans and players. The advocates of the hit Anc run school Are Tor Ever battling those who Are inclined toward the sacrifice hit method and there Are various other Cults and creeds each willing to defend its theories verbally to the last ditch. While these academic discussions of the science of the pastime Are All very Well it is impossible to sit Down around a table and Lay out any sure system for winning Ball games perhaps you can win a lot of victories on paper by the hot air Mathod but when you come to doing the same thing on the Field of play the dope does t always come out just As it ought to. There Are several managers in the americ Aji league who Ore always about to tear the hide off the athletics. Be fore every series these Fellows will win three out of four from the champions and sometimes when their pipes Are drawing1 Well will take the whole Bunch of games right out from under Connie Mack s nose. Then when the the series is Over you will notice that these demons who were going to wreck the Mack machine have been Lucky to score a run. Clark Griffith is one Man who never lost a series to Philadelphia be i fore it was played. Griff hates the Macks cordially and just before he is due to Battle them he froth at the Mouth and carries on frightfully. Yeb if he Ever really succeeded in grab Bing the majority of games in a series from them there would be reason for a congressional investigation. Fellows who have tried in vain to Stop the Macks usually present the Alibi that the brotherly love Clu b is Lucky. It is very Seldom that you hear anybody come right but in meet ing and admit that lean Cornelius has n wonderful aggregation of Ball toss ers. You would think after listen ing to some of the bunk that the other athletics pass out that if it weren t for the Luck Philadelphia would be trying to Chase Cleveland out of last place. I will risk the danger of being branded a heretic by saying Flat footed and without equivocation that the Philadelphia Clu b is a most remarkable collection baseball geniuses. Of course it has some Luck but it makes most of the Good More fighting. Ripley. Run thous and dollars a Dubby my dui Uta dub has outside transferred to Home a Endeavor to Lang m Superior proves easy in doubleheader baseball results National league. V i maroons trim bed sox 10 to 5 in afternoon and 7 to 0 in evening visitors Start out Well but Wilt badly before attack of league holds enemy to two singles in the Twilight contest. Breaks by hustling and playing Ball All the time. Everybody who Ever got anywhere in the National game had gome Luck but i never heard of a pen Nant being won or a heavy batting average accumulated on pure Good for tune without some real ability As a foundation. Now As for these various strategic theories which serve to keep the fans. Perpetually at War i want to say there is no favorite prescription which acts infallibly. What will get one club a Bunch of victories will be the Ruina Tion of another and a manager has to adapt his style of attack and defence to the material under his command. With a club like the athletics com prising a lot of Good hard hitters and speedy base runners you can use either the hit and run method or the Bun tation game with Success. I think that the Macks Are most dangerous when they Are slamming away at. The Ball without any great regard for the so called inside you will notice that their runs usually come in flocks of three four and five when they Are going Well. That is because they play for a Jot of in one inning for two Rea because they have the hit ters to make this system effective and second because their own pitching is Seldom Strong enough to make a 1 t was just like talking Candy from a baby to take the two games from the Taylorl Ess red sox from Superior at the Ball Yard yesterday. In the afternoon the seventh placers started out by playing Ball like champions smashed the oal1 in a terrific manner and took a 3-run Lead Only temporary As when the maroons threatened in the the locals in the evening affair it was simply a crime to take1 the game sox Mut Meed.

The afternoon fracas was the mud better of the two to watch. The visitors started out As if they were going to put the game on ice right away they took to House s slants right away Start and earned three runs. They continued to hit the local heaver Char throughout the nine rounds of play by Brilliant support by the Outfield held the score Down. Chicken was touched up freely by the maroons and they tallied a run in the second and fourth but the sox got away again in the fifth by scoring a run. The fifth was the undoing of the visitors when the maroons counted six runs As the result of two walks three and a Bone head by Kelly at first. The sox counted one More in the eighth by hard hitting but the leaders retaliated with two tallies As the result of two an out and a hit. Evening game. The after supper affair was or less a farce. About the Only re deeming feature was the splendid pitching of Spahr who had it on Rhoades All the Way. The Superior Pitcher was Given the worst kind of support errors of commission Anc omission figuring in the downfall of the lowly ones. Fred. Glass refused to play deep in Centre Field with the re sult that Calhoun secured a triple and a Home run by Ball Over his head and the triple three men on bases in the fifth when the locals scored four runs this caused a auction in the Superior Camp and Rhoades and Glass nearly came to blows.
