signed up with Wheeling, OF

by WILLIAM PEET.

Either Connie Mack is holding some
thing back or else the Athletics are badly
outolassed. is the verdict OF the fans re-
garding tie first two games OF the ALI
Star series in Philadelphia.
Connie Mack is q wise old owl. and may
have given orders for his~men not 10 ex-
tend themselves. but there is no denying
that his club at present looks like bush
league aggregation in comparison with
McAleer's team. II the games Tuesday
AID yesterday are TO be taken as a cri-
teriOn.
In the two games already played the
All-StaTs have stolen eleven bases on
Thomas and Lapp. five in Tuesdays
game and six yesterday even Gabby
Street. the slowest base runner in the
American League. is credited with a pur.
Joined sack In the opening battle.
If Mack's catchers do not behave any
better against the Cubs IL looks bad for
the American Leagues chances to grab
the title.
Manager McAieer has announced that
the game here tomorrow would start
promptly al o'clock. Johnson and Street
will be the battery for the All-Stars,
while Mack will use Plank and Morgan,
and possibly Bender, working them three
innings apiece.
Tickets for the worlds series have al
ready been received by a number of Dis
trict fans. while several hundred have
been notified that their applications were
received too late
The appointment OF George Mcbride as
captain OF the Nationals next year is a
popular move. Mcbride also gets neat
