Once upon a time a certain man- of the great Christy Mathewson, one of the most remarkable pitchers in the history of the game. That is merely told as preface to the story of Fred Lucas, pitching sensation of the Cincinnati Reds. Two years ago, while looking over the Boston Braves in spring train- ing, 1 observed a young san by the name of Lucas cavorting around sec- ond base. I was told that Lucas was a Te- formed pitcher who could hit and he was being converted into a sec ur Skin Yours this! Every morning after skin 1 ager tried to make an infielder out |gu ond baseman with the best of -re- sults, It didn't seem at the time if Lucas was destined to rival Eddig Collins as a flelder. . . Does a Comeback. When the season opened Lucas, highly touted as a second sacker In the spring, was not in the lineup. Evidently his pitching didn't im- press, because he was soofi shipped to Seattle in the Pacific Coast Lea- o. « At Seattle he pitched with success and because of his ability to hit was used as emergency outfielder. He finished the season with a batting average close to .400. This spring we find Lucas back in the big show as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. Of the first 13 games won Ly Cin- cinnati, he captured four of his first five starts and, used as a pinch-hit- ter, really had another to his credit by coming through with a timely swat. And still they once tried to make a second baseman out of Pitcher Lucas. That also goes for Christy Mathewson. Proper temperament, as well as unusual managerial ability, explains the remarkable success that has been the portion of Connie Mack. Connie is an optimist. He can al- ways see a silver lining to the dark- est situation. Picked to be a pennant-contender from the start, the first month was a most disappointing one for the Mackmen and found them resting in the second division. Meeting the club for the first time with an average around .500, I made inquiries as to the failure of the team to show against the eastern opposition. "Haven't a single kick to register about the play of the team," re- marf:ed Connie. "The . pitching was uniformly good; the team played smart base ball; the fighting spirit was always there, but we just couldn't win for the lack of a timely base hit. "Really we should have won the first seven games we lost. In every game there were from one to three chances where a base hit would have turned defeat into victory. "That is why I am not worrying, still positive my club will be a strong pennant contender." Conservative in but smart io line.

"Phone MeGraw has signed & new three- year contract to manage the Giants. That will set to rest all rumors that McGraw intended to retire. The supposition was that he was groom- ing Hughey Jennings for the job. It '{s possible that the serious illness of Hughey caused McGraw tg change his plans. This is McGraw's twenty-fourth year as manager of the New York Giants. During that time he has won 10 pennants. In this respect Connie Mack, with six wins for Philadelphia, is his closest rival, He is also the only manager to have won four pennants in either the Na- tional or American. .
