In commenting nun the. work of the Maroons the M'dway director believes that, his men did their best, but because of the' fact that two of the bert players were off form they were unable to roll up a larger count. Neither Norgren nor Vruwink played anything like their usual game, as In previous contests they have both been important factors lo the (coring, but were unable to register against the Buckeye aggregation.

With the exception of these two the work of the Maroons was faultless, as Coach Page thinks the ehlft In the'line-up was a valuable asset.

There still remains seven more games for each team in the conference, and the next two weeks is considered the crucial time for both Wisconsin and Illinois, who at present are at the top of the list for honors.

So far the Badgera have staged all their games at home and will make their first appearance on strange floors when they clash with Indiana and Ohio Friday and Saturday nights. The IUlnl will also appear on unknown ground, as they are scheduled to meet Wisconsin Feb. 21 and Minnesota the following night. These dates. It is believed, will -decide the fate of both teams.

ss the home squad has a great advantage Lover the other players, because they ars better acquainted with the situation at hand. The Mtroocs will make their next appearance when they meet Minnesota Friday night In Bartlett gymnasium. Coach Pago Is expecting another hard battle with the Gophers, and will start preparing his men tonight for the coming event.

MACK CALLS ED WALSH BEST SP1TBALL PITCHER Athletic' Manager rrr Will Fwrnret How the Ball Mian I'aaaeil ltatjt-r, Mrlaara aaa (alii aa. NEW TORK.

Feb. 9. Manager Connie Mark of the Athletics says that Ed Walsh of the White Sox la the best spltball pitcher, Rube Waddcll the greatest seascuej baseball pitcher and Chief 'flettder of the Athletics the greatest short series' hurler he has ever' seen. "Possibly I know Rube Waddell better than anybody," said Cohnic. "He was a pitcher every inch.

You did not need much of a team behind him. He could not" think like but for pitching I would 'pick Waddcll. while tor masterful pitching Bender is tny choice. Vender showed me the greatest pitching I evi-r saw against the Ginr t. It waa pcrfe-r, every ball thrown.

W-udelf In fanned 343 men in '377 Innings. "When I am picking them -they are frwra what I have1 seen la the -wovld'sr seriea' I have seen the best the Giants" and the Cubs had. I know little1 about the other hill men in the National-lea Sue. I say this out of fairness 'to the other league. I remember Amos Ruale.

He waa a speed marveL There is no'uay of telling, except by the eye. which pitcher had the greatest Juice. Walter Johnson I consider a bigger man every way than Rusic. He has beaten the best teams In the aorl-J when" Washington only had a fair team behind faim to field and bat out the victory. Since Griffith has turned out that good ball.

team Johnson has been almost unbeatable In the American league. "Ed Walsh of the While Sox and Russell lord of the Highlanders ar? two wonderful pitchers, and they use the spit ball most of the time. As to spitball pitchers. Walsh is the best the game has ever cct-n. He is a wonder for goins; bark game afu-r game and beating the best teams in the American league.

I remember one day when, with three on the bases and nono out. he fanned Baker, Collins and Mclni.es. I don't know of any oltir pitcher who could have done that trkk. "Christy Mathewsoa of the Giants has bn a great pitcher for a good many years. I would ssy that he is among best four that the game has ever seen, but remember, too.

be has always bad a prvttv goed ball club back of Put Jack Powell up there with a good team, and that boy would have shavtd off a rei-orj that would be hard to beat. I am ecinlua down to cases, but I am not going to pick the best pitcher. A. lot of fellows uevir had a championship team to poll them along, and, while tbi-y pitched better ball than some of the more famous, they did not show in the figures "Chief Bendvr Is the belt short series pitcher In the world. He proved that to me when, with Jack Coombs hurt.

Vender ehowed the best stuff I have ever seen. Bender throws a ball that goes ss fast as anything that Walter Johnson. Amos Ruslo cr any of the rest of them ever tossed. Ask Harry Dsvls or Ty Cobb they'd tvll yon. Bender could not throw every ball like Ruale or Job son.
