* CUBS’ LEAD OFF MAN
IS ONE OF THE BEST
Max Flack Has All the Nccasd
Qualifications.
Chic*go Outfielder Is Steady Hitter,
Fast Runner and Patience to Wait
^ Out Pitcher—Reaches First
Base Frequently.
L»«*ky is the club that litua a gooG
lead-off man. Heretofore this was
considered one of the most important
positions in the batting order, but the
managers of today do not seem to look
at It in that light, for there are few
first-class lead-off men in the major
leagues. The player placed at the
head of the list not only has to he a
steady hitter, but must have the
ability to wait out the pitcher and has
to have speed. These qualifications
are necessary, which makes it diffi
att for managers to find a man to fill
the bill.
One of the cleverest lead-off men in
the National league is Max Flack of
the Cubs. He has all the qualifications
meatcioned and one more—he is short
and a puzzle to pitchers, says a
writer in Chicago News. When Man
ager Mitchell was chosen to succeed
Joe Tinker lie quickly realized the pos
sibilities in Flack as head of the hat
ting order. Tinker had him hitting
Max Flack.
second because of Ills skill in bunting
and speed in going to first. The new
manager did not hesitate to advance
him one position and has kept him
there ever since with excellent re
sults.
The change did not strike Flack’s
fc fancy at first. He liked a position
where he could pick out the ball he
wanted and put all his force behind
* it.
Recause of his efficiency as a lead
off man, Flack scores a lot of runs for
the Cubs.

MAYS WOULDN'T USE BEANEB
Manager Barrow of Red Sox Doesn't
Believe Pitcher Would Intention
ally Hit Batsman.
Pitcher Carl Mays has been accused
of experimenting with the “bean ball.”
Ed Harrow, manager of the Red Sox,
doesn’t think Carl is that kind of a
bov, He says in Mays’ defense:

Carl Mays.
“Mays Is a good fellow, and I don't
believe he would try to hit a batsman
any more than would Walter Johnson.
Nobody ever questions Johnson’s fast
ball, although sometimes it speeds so
close to the batsman’s head that it
looks Intentional. It’s unfair to charge
Mays with such unsportsmanlike and
cowardly tactics. He is a great pitcher
and doesn’t have to resort to Intimi
dation.”
