of last season have gone over to the Amer

work of the American Leaguers unhesi-
tatingly say that Mack'S team is second to
none, and are already predicting what the
harvest will be. 1t was the old Athletics
who brought the only pennant to Philadel-
phia. VIII the new Athletics give to this
city that same distinctive honor? Time
alone will tell. but merry are the days

arbutus and the crowning glory of the
golden rod.-Phil hiladelphia Times

his band of champions training in Chicago
