FOXY CONNIE MACK
AN INVENTIVE CUSS.


Connie Mack was one OF the
trickiest catchers the game has
known.
Connie wore rubber baud
around his glove When he
would reach out for the ball he
pulled and let go that rubber
band. and nine times out OF ten
the umpire called the batter out
on a foul tip when he had
missed the ball by a foot
Later umpires refused 10
stand for Mack's claim that he
wore the rubber to keep the
mitten from bulging
Then Connie developed the
method of arching his gloved
hand over the ball and snap
ping one OF the fingers OF his
left hand against the glove.
Game after game was won by
Pittsburg by one snap Of Mack's
finger against his glove.
Another trick Mack worked
with success was bat tipping.
He would stand closer To the
bat than any catcher stands TO-
day. shove out his glove as the
batter swung and let the bat,
as IL came swinging around,
glide over his glove, regardless
Of the ball. In one game he
tween Pittshurg and baltimore,
McGraw struck out five times
by bat tipping

HEAVY VOTE IS
 BEING ROLLED
FAULKNER co. DEMOCRATS
TURN OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS TO VOTE IN TODAY'S PRI-
 MARY ELECTION.

Indications this afternoon are that one of the largest votes ever boiled in a Democratic primary in this county is being cast today The rain which has been falling intermittently throughout the day has made farm work impossible and reports from ov- CT the county are to the effect that the Democrats are turning out en masse.
 In Cadron township over 300 votes had been cast up to the hour of going to press, and it is thought the full Democratic strength will be boiled here.
 Governor Donagehy and Associate Justice Sam Frauenthal came up from Little Rock on the local freight early this morning. They cast their votes and left on the accommodation for Little Rock.
 Ben L. Griffin, candidate for con- gress, voted here and also went to Little Rock on the morning train. He is spending today in Argenta.
 Thousands of cards are being dis triouted at the courthouse and prac- tically every state candidate has one or more friends working for him at the poll shere

RAIN BRINGS
 OUT BIG VOTE DONACHEY SURE TO WIN
CHEERING MESSAGES COME BY HUNDREDS FROM ALL
 OVER STATE.

Little Rock, March 30.-The big day is here. The balloting is going on all over the state fierce and fast and it is estimated that fully 135,- GOO votes will be cast in the state. Rain last night and today in some sections will assist to increase the vote, as the farmers will turn out in great numbers.
 The indications are that Donaghey will carry the state by an overwhelm- ing majority and hundreds of tele- grams are being received at the office of the governor, telling how the con test is going in the various counties. Yesterday afternoon there were many telegrams received and they were posted on the wall in the office of the governor. J. P. Fancher wired that Donaghey would carry Carroll coun- ty ? to 1. w. L. Heffner telegraphed the same tidings from Lonoke. Dr. F. G. Richardson of Heber wired that Cleburne county would be found nj the 2 to 1 column. Judge H. L. Pon- der of Walnut Ridge put Lawrence county for Donaghey by 3,484. L. D. Tomlnson of Malvern estimated Hot Spring county to give 3 to 1 vote for Donaghey.
 Senator F. F. Freeman of Rogers wired that the entire northwest part of the state would be overwhelming ly for Donaghey. H. N Baker of Nashville sent a message stating that Howard county would give Donaghey 300 majority. C. H. Murphy of FL dorado put his estimate on Union county at 80 per cent for Donaghey. w. L. Blanks telegraphed that the Donaghey majority in Ashley county would be large According to the message of E. E. White, Hampstead county is solid for Donaghey. Judge J. P. Norwood estimated the Dona- ghey strength in Sevier county at 70 Springs telegraphed the Kavanaugh speaking there did him no good and the Donaghey majority will be large. w. NJ. Birse, Sr., telegraphed that Johnson county would be largely for Donaghey, but Clarksville is about evenly divided.
 Reuben Dye, candidate for land com missioner, telegraphing from Forrest City, stated St. Francis would be a big Donaghey county, and one enter prising restauranteL has offered free dinners to Donaghey mon and was feeding hundreds. Senator Hamp Williams of Hot Springs telegraphed the Donaghey phalanX was still un- broken and would continue to be, Gar land county giving a good account of itself in favor of the present gover- nor Senator Williams stated negro Democrats were handing out Kava- naugh cartoons on the streets of Hot Springs which was creating consider able amusement. R. D. Chotard wir- ed that Chicot county would vote 800 and Donaghey would pet majority of 100. Jerry Witt telegraphed that Montgomery county was safe by a large margin for Donaghey. A com morcial traveller telephoned that he had been all over southwest Arkansas in the past week and estimated that the D0naghey vote would be to l. W. T. Hutchinson of Casa telegraph ed that Perry county is safe.
 Many other telegrams of the same tenor are being received, and all re- ports say the vote refuse to be chang ed through reports which were circu- lated in favor of Kavanaugh last night, because they believe nothing that candidate sends out.
