The old Athletics, winners of two

their chance for the pennant in a
II inning struggle with Detroit.
In that game young energy and
enthusiasm triumphed again old.

old players-once the glory of the
game-couldn' stand the gaff.
And Connie. Mack, sitting OBJ
scurely under the roof of the play
ers' bench, was thinking, think
ing.
He could risk one year of unpop-
ularity, he decided-the unpopular
fly that follows the manager of q
losing team. He would devote a
year-the year 190S-to training up
for 1909. In the meantime, forget
the pennant.
So the old Athletics disappeared
Socks Seybold went back to the
minors. The brilliant Jimmy"
Collins likewise. Ossie Schreck
went out, and Murphy to the
bench. RUDE Waddell was sold to
st. Louis. Mike Powers, the
plucky catcher, died.
Only Harry Davis and Topsy
Hartsel. in the field, and Bender
and Plank, pitchers, remained.
Then on the ruins of the old Con-
ME built the new. He picked up
players for a song. Some of them
were no good. They didn't last.
Those who gave promise were
nourished as carefully as a baby
prince.
A new Collins took the place of
the old-Eddie Collins, a college
boy, who could hit anything. Con-
ME taught him to field, and he
took his place at the head of the
American league batters in 1909.
He picked up Krause, the pitch
ing find of the season-Krause,
who pitched a dozen straight vic
tories.

RUSH
KEEPS Up

More than 10000 people register
cd for less than 200 farms in the
Spokane reservation. Although
both the Flathead and Occur
d'Alene reservations are larger by
far, the Spokane registration is
nearly equal to either.
The rush here is on as strong as
ever today. being composed largely
of people from points In this state
and in Idaho. There is a notice
able sprinkling of people from the
central states also and no lessen
ing of the people who couldn't
make living on farm If they
got one.
The preference for the Spokane
reservation is due to the fact that
the southern half of it borders the
Spokane river and the territory
contains some of the most valua-
BILE power sites. The w. w. P. Co.
is putting in a big power plant at
Little Falls, on the Spokane river
and the Graves interests have a
railroad surveyed right through
the west end of the reservation.
There is bound to be several thriv-
ing towns and possibly a city of
consequence in this section when
the reservation is settled up.
