CONNIE MACK IS
VERY SUPERST|T|0US
Athletic Leader Great Believer
in Signs, 0mens, Dreams
and Predictions.

CHICAGO. October 2.-Connie Mack,
boss OF the Athletics, Is one of the
most superstitious of men. Seldom, in
deed. do his superstitions become known
to the general public, but he is there
with bells on at times.
For instance, he has used the same
pencil to keep score all season. He
used it in the first two games with the
Cubs at Philadelphia, which the Athlet-
les won. En- route to Chicago Connie
loaned the pencil to the club secretary.
OF course the latter forgot to return 1t.
Connie bethought himself OF the pencil
at dinner Wednesday night and he had
no peace of mind until the secretary
who was ignorant OF the relationship OF
the pencil to Aladdin and the wonderful
lamp and had loaned 1t to a friend-had
recovered it.
Tuesday Connie just had q bunch that
Harry Davis would help win the game
for the Athletics with timely hits. Con-
ME watched Harry the first time up. and
although he flied to Hoffman the Athletic
generalissimO concluded that Davis would
take kindly to Browns pitching. Not.
withstanding that Harry grounded to
Tinker on his second trip to the plate
Connie did not lose faith in his captain
The third time he faced Brown Harry
drove out a single, which scored the
Mackmen's third rum The next time
up, In the seventh inning, he broke uI
the game and also broke the Cubs spirit
with a corking double into the crowd IN
left Collins and Baker were on bases Al
the time.
That's not all. Connie had a hunch ter
weeks or three months prior to the Gloss
Of the American League season that Id
would be forced to use young Amos
Skunk In the worlds series and q month
prior to the close Of the campaign HI
started to groom the kid for service. Hs
had him work up to form gradually. Ir
the closing week of the season he played
Strunk in several games and then hat
him lay off for a couple of days. For
week prior to the worlds series he had
two pitchers constantly at work for ar
hour each morning pitching to no Other
player but Stfunk. Connie wanted him
to get his eye on the ball in case OF
emergency.
The accident to RUDE Oldring. which
prevented him from participating in the
games with the Cubs, proved that Con.
MES three-mOnth old bunch was q good
one. and Strunk is holding down the Gen.
ter garden job.
Mr. Mack has Just one more bunch and
that is that StFunk will pull or some.
thing or other that will surprise the Cubs
before the series is concluded. The Kid IL
in good shape, and as he is a grand field
er and fast on his feet, he may slip one
over on the Chanceites.

CHURCH BROTHERHOOD
PLANS FOR MORE ROOM
First Congregational Sunday School
to Be Provided With Addi-
tional Space.

The first meeting for the fall of the
brotherhood of the First Congregational
Church was held last evening. After
d social hour the asSemblage was seat
ed at the dinner tables. The retiring
brotherhood president. DR.. S. C. John
son. introduced the newly elected presi-
dent. A. j. Osgood, who presided. Prof
Nhiddit and octet of young men
furnished the music.
Plans for .enlarging the Sunday school
arcomnodations of the First Congrega-
tional Church were discussed. The
church owns no unoccupied land adjoin-
ing its premises, and this has led to
the necessity of more economical use
rf the space within the present church
building. Accordingly, Rev. DIR. Wood
propo>ed that ii gallery be con-
structed around three sides of the pres
ont SUNDAY school room, and that this
- lery be used chiefly for adult classes.
Provision for Classrooms.
1t was suggested that the gallery
should be divided into classrooms of
convenient size. Cne advantage of this
plan, il was stated, would be that adult
classes would be enabled to participate
more generally in the opening Sunday
school exercises.
The need of additional accommodations
is said to be due to the growth of the
senior classes in the Sunday school. The
Delta class. conducted by William
Knowles Cooper. secretary CT the Y. VI.
u A. has grown beyond the limits of
its present quarters, and growth has also
been shown by DIR. Gates class and by
the business men = class
The plan suggested by DR. Woodrow
was approved by the brotherhood.
Other speakers were Rev. ,. Il. Swift,

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
MARINE CORPS CHANGES
Scheme of Reorganization to
Be Submitted to Congress
Next Session.

Various plans are being formulated fol
the reorganization of the Marine Corps
through legislation at the coming session
of Congress. One of these involves the
transfer of the corps to the Coast Ar
tillery branch of the army. Another elimi-
mates the office of major general, COM
mandant. and places the corps under
the supervision OF the division of person
mel, Navy Department.
For more than three years the corps
has been the cause of dissension in the
navy. 1t is said that the movement to
reorganize the corps is inspired by the
navy and naval influences Following Mr..
Roosevelt's order taking the marines of
the warships and assigning them to duty
at the navy yards. friends Of that branch
Of the service came to it's rescue and
secured legislation annulling the order.
To Merge With Army.
The naval opponents of the corps now
suggest that the marines be mustered
into the army, preferably In the Coast
Artillery. 1t is admitted that the country
should not lose the ten thousand well
drilled and we'll equipped soldiers now
composing the corps. 1t is contended.
however, that there is no need for their
service aboard ships or at navy yards
and therefore no need for tSam in the
organization of the navy. Shoui>. the
Marine Corps eventually be abolished or
absorbed by the army it is argued that
the police and guard duty aboard ship
and at the yards which the marines are
performing could be assumed by the Off
GERS and men of the navy.
In furtherance of the general scheme il
is now suggested that no successor tC
Mai. Gen. George F. Elliott. who will re-
tire November 20. be appointed comman-
dant of the Marine Corps until Congress
has opportunity to pass the bill to be laid
before it to reorganiZe the corps Just
how the corps will be commanded in the
interim is a problem.
The regulations provide that in the alb
sence of the commandant an acting com
mandant shall be designated By the Sec
