Connie Mack says the Athletics may

will know it has been in baseball
game. Il never predict that / have a
winning team" says Mack. Lots of
men liz the game start right in to talk
pennant at the beginning of the sea-
son. Often at the finish they are
found at the bottom. Last season
thought l had winning team when
went south. L couldn't see how we
could be beaten. Then Seybold and
Oloring went to the bad and other UNI
foreseen things occurred. Fsut at that
l did not give up. Later IN the sea-
son, just before that last trip of the
western teams to Philadelphia, / had
it all figured out how we could finish
in the race. My dope again went
wrong"
Mack has about so men on his list,
and IS of them are pitchers. Davis
at first, Murphy at second, Barry at
short ana Baker d third looks GOOD to
me just now" says Connie. "Hartsel
in left field and Oldring in center are
hard to beat, and Jackson may be the
other outfielder. l used to farm out
my youngsters and then bring them
back near the finish of the season, but
have changed my ideas on that Plan.
am going to sit nearly all of them
on the bench and call them utility
men. What they see viii benefit them
more than playing with minors. Then
if 1 need them ! have them"
When asked to talk on the spitball.
Mack said Walsh was the only pitcher
who used it with success. He would
have the spitball abolished and the
game would be improved 20 per cent.

Adolphe to Meet Californian in a
Twenty Round Bout.

The uncommon circumstances Of a
French boxer meeting a former cham
pion viii be seen in Paris Saturday,
when Adolphe, a full blooded Gascon.
meets Jimmy Britt of San Francisco
in "a twenty round bout.
This bout is the outcome Of wave
or enthusiasm for boxing which has
prevailed in the French capital in the
last two years or so. American and
English fighters have been in eager
demand and now the French are de-
VelOping ring conoatants themselves.
American fighters who have seen
AGOlphe in his training quarters de-
clare that he is head and shoulders
over any Ctner French fighter and has
the making Of a flrst class man.
While Britt is by no means the fight
CT he Was several years ago, a victory
for Adolphe over the former champion
viii give him immense prestige and
undoubtedly lead to his coming to
America.
Among we'll known fighters who
think well of the French lightweight
are Tommy Burns. the dethroned
champion: Willie Lewis. the New
Yorker: sam Langford. the Boston
Terrier; Sam McVey the California

Norwich team No. l in the duckpin
league three straight games, but the
