WHAT Is MACK'S IDEAP
Base Ball Circles Discussing the
Managers Latest Move.

Much comment has been caused in base
ball circles by the announcement that
Manager Connie Mack Of the Athletics of
Philadelphia left with his team on its west
ern trip without the veterans Cross Pow
ers and Seybold.
One opinion was that Manager Mack be-
lieving that his team Is out of it for the
1906 race. is starting in now to find out just
how good, or how poor his new material
is, in order to be that much ahead next
season. This looks like a shrewd move
provided always, of course that nothing
should occur which would give the Ccham-
pions a chance to retain their title
On this point the suggestion has been
made that Connie. being eager to try out
new players, wanted as few Of the veterans
as possible around. Few players. even when
they know their time on the diamond is up
want to see a youngster come along and
take their place. Many a minor Lacquer
has been made no good for the major
league by being knocked" by a player
whose place he was billed to take. Real
izing this. Manager Mack may have
shrewdly decided that he wanted as few
''old cats" as possible around his young
kittens" at this stage.
Connie never does anything without deep
thought. and II his scheme turns out WELL
he will be deserving of great credit for his
shrewdnss. The credit, however, must
come to him next season, unless the new
men go out at once, which would be an
unheard6f thing, and hold their own with
the strong western 'tams.
Even the most hopeful admirer Of the
Champions must realize that with the race
having only three more weeks to go the
chances OF the Athletics for overhauling
Chicago are very slim. There is a chance,
of course; but to win out now the Cham
pions would have to win about three games
to every two captured by the White Sox or
New York.
Another explanation offered is that there
Is trouble in the Champions camp and that
Manager Mack has dealt out discipline by
wholesale. When one looks over the list
of men left at home and sizes uptheir fu-
ture intentions this looks unlikely. Plank
and Bender are In poor shape and no sur
prise is expressed over them. Murphys
case appears to rest with Danny alone. 1t
Is said that he Is under suspension until he
reports for duty in condition to play.
Coakley will this fall matriculate in the
dental department of the University of
Pennsylvania. DIR. Powers is anxious to
devote all his time to study in order that he
may pass the state medical board. Cross
1t Is reported. will next year manage a
Tri-state League club.
With these facts in mind, it is reasonable
to suppose that Manager Mack is now
building up his team for the future For
weeks he has been declaring that he ex-
pected his team to have a Very successful

SUBURBAN LEAGUE
PENNANT is LAUREL'S

Laurel has won the pennant in the Sub
urban League Of Prince George county, Md.
the closing game being played at Brent
wood Saturday afternoon, when Brentwood
won. Several of Laurers regular players
were out Of the game but Manager Bond Of
the Laurel club had the game played, so as
to complete the playing Of games in the
Suburban League, making the last game of
the season.
The penlant is a fine one, of colors
black and orange. During the earlier part
of the season the Laurel team played under
difficulties, and for some time trailed
along as tailenders. but, owing to the eff
forts Of Manager George M. Bond a good
team was secured, and the result is that,
for the first time in base ball history, Laurel
has pennant-winning club
Howard Beckett, the star twirler of the
Laurel club, lost but three games, although
no fault Of his. and was considered the best
pitcher in the league. He has several offers
to play In faster company next season.
The playing season opened May Is and
ended September 10. The Hyattsville club,
which stood in first place September 1,
claimed the pennant on the ground that all
regular games had been played, but as there
were quite a number Of postponed games,
and as q rule had been adopted to end the
season September Is. so as to give plenty
of time for the playing of Of the postponed
games, the managers Of the different clubs,
with the exception Of Hyattsville decided
in favor Of Laurel as having won more
games than any other team in the league.

the championship Of the Philippines.


the championship of the Philippines.
When the Washington team was in New
York few weeks ago some of the specta-
tors thought 1t unusuai that a large number
of regular soldiers attended the games, and
that to a man they were roofing against
New York. The soldiers didn't know any
thing about Washington, but Altizer was
on the team, and that was enough for the
regulars. Had Altizer been on the New
York team they would have rooted just as
hard for New York
A modest young fellow with a splendid
record in the army is A1tizer. In 1899 he
ieft his home In Pike county, ILL.,, and en-
listed at the nearest recruiting station. Soon
afterward he was sent to the far east He
was in the command sent to China In the
Boxer troubles in that country. He served
through the campaign in China, taking part
in the advances on Taku and Tientsin and
the Siege Of Picking.
In the Philippines AltiZer took part in all
of the engagements in which the 14th In
fantry participated until he was transferred
to the artillery and sent to Manila as a
member of Battery H Of the 9Th Artillery
1t was while in this command that he be-
came interested in baseball, and 1t was as
shortstop Of the famous nine of Battery H
that he became known throughout the ISL
ands as the best base ball player in the
United States army.

noon.

Ben Stevenson. captain of the George
Washington University foot ball team,
arrived in this city early this morning,
after being expected by Manager Wilson
for several days.
"Steenie." as the varsity men Of George
Washington University know him best,
is the picture Of health, and says that he
hardly felt better in his life. His first
inquiry when he met Star man was how
the candidates for the team were getting
along in their work.
Steenerson has been camping in the west
for several months, and said that he was
heavier than he had ever been, and that he
now tips the scales in the neighborhood Of
100 pounds.
When the story Of the work Of Coach
Crowell for the past two days had been
rehearsed to the George Washington cap
tain he was much pleased and said that
he was sure that this year the bun ana
blue would be in the procession from the
very start.
This afternoon he will don the moleskins
Tor the first time. and. 1t is stated, with
his appearance the spirit of the varsity
men will go forward toward a successful
completion of the training which has just
begun
Coach Crowell has announced that the
real training will begin Wednesday. and
from that time on the men Of the varsity
team Will be hard at work to round into
form before the beginning Of the foot bali
season Of 1905.

the grand circuit of 1906 to a close.
The present season has been one of the
most successful ever recorded in grand cir
cult annals. To date six meetings have
been held, covering seven weeks (two weeks
at Readville). and not a single meeting has
been interfered with by rain. This is a most
unusual piece of good fortune, as frequently
In past years rain has seriously disarranged
the various programs.

he had lost none of his old time ability as
