Connie Mack should win out
The strong fight being put up by the
Mackmen this season Is due to the
sterling staff OF seasoned twirlers who
are In better condition than ever this
season. and the further fact that there
are so many youngsters In the league
at present who fall for their cunning
and cleverness more readily than did
many OF the old-timers who have been
transferred to the minors during the
last few months. The Athletics made
a creditable race last season, but
Mack's youngsters cracked from stage
fright in the last three weeks OF the
race and Detroit copied It's third pen
lnant. This season there Is an abun-
dance of confidence In the Athletics
camp, and Mack has sufficient num-
Der of vets stacked in with his 2-year-
olds to acI as counterbalance.

ment of the season, declared that he

DOYLE GOING BACK.
Slothful One Grows Rusty and Will
Return to the Minors.

Slow Joe Doyle, 1t is understood,
will join his former pals, Jim Doyle
and Rabbit Robinson. at Louisville.
Thus departs from the big leagues a
man who drew about as much money,
for about as little work, as anyone
who ever donned uniform. Doyle
was willing enough to pitch--at least
he always said so-but somehow when
the time came he wasn't there. He
had a lame arm or a bad wrist or a
raspberry had got caught In his back
teeth anyway. Joe didn't pitch.
Clarke Griffith carried him a long,
long time In New York. and he hung
on for a year after Griff departed.
Thinking he still had something, Griff
acquired him few weeks ago. but
he showed no class in the few starts
he made with the Cincinnati Reds.
Joe Is famous as having an ex.
asperating slowness of delivery that
was worse than Cuppy's delaying
policy. He was also a really high
grade pitcher when he did work. and
the added totals of his few games In
the fast company would show just
about twice as many victories as de-
feats. In short. Mr.. Doyle had the
stuff, but was worked so seldom that
he grew rusty, and finally, like Jim
Jeffries, found that his skill had
slipped away.

Chicago Cubs and the New York

he escaped, John Campbell owes his
rescue from death in the mud of
Humphreys Lake to-day-a fate which
Sheriff Kelly was at the same time in
fair way of sharing.
Campbell was about to be arraigned
before Justice Trader. on charge Of
liquor selling and larceny, when he
made a dash for liberty out Water
street toward the lake, with Chief Of
Police Disharoon, Sheriff Kelly and
Deputy Smith in hot pursuit. Seeing
the officers and the crowd closing in en-
him, Campbell changed his course to
the lake, where he became enmired
over his head in the mud Running their
clothing in the mud and water Disha-
room and Smith rescued the fugitive and
then turned their attention to Sheriff
Kelly, who had become enmired also
and was about to sink exhausted into
the ooze.
