WHITE ELEPHANT
FOR CONNIE MACK

PHILADELPHIA Special.-Sway-
ing his body -iazily, a huge, gray Ash
attic elephant is eating thirty-five
pounds.of hay an hour in McCleman's
stable. at Thirteenth Street and Moya-
mensing Avenue today, apparently un-
disturbed at his destiny, which in
cludes wv itewashing and being. pre-
scented to Connie Mack, leader OF the
White Elephants, by a host Of down
town admirers of the Athletics.
Mack is -envyipg very much the
cOmposureY of the present. He says
he would like TO emulate il, but he
cannot This morning he surveyed
his home. at 2119 Ontario Street, from
cellar to attic, hut he could not find
place where an elephant weighing
several tons would fit. Much of the
JOY he has felt at the home coming of
his victorious team has been shat
tered by the impending elephant
When the leading spirits in the con-
spiracy to make Connie Mack happy
decided upon, an elephant. they asked
FIRST for a white one. The dealers said
they were all out Of sacred elephants;
but they recalled p. IT,. Barnum, and
his reputed skill with the .whitewash
brushl and the downtown men saw
great light Whether they hired II or
bought it outright, they decline to say
but last night the big beast was prod
ded down plank from box car in
the West Philadelphia stock yards and
L
cows, near by began TO act uneasily
and > the. drovers, horses shifted
through the night. o."
Connie Mack was told this morning
of the .gift that was to be his. He
sighed deeply. The life Of a big league
manager. contains much joy, some
times" he: said, but t. Is also stuck
full Of gobs OF sorrow. What on earth
do want with an elephant? OF course
/ am. mana ger of the best bunch G
White Elephants on earth. but don
think they'd consort with an AsfatiC
elephant. There's no place up home
for il, and Shibe Park is no MENACE
rie. I wonder who the donors are?
Perhaps ] could get out an injunction
against them. if the worst comes to
the worst, suppose III have 10 de-
cline II. do you know how much an
elephant is worth at present. or is
there any market for. them? 1t is fine
about the automobile, but I must draw
the line somewhere. I can't accept
elephants unless they're ball players"

NEW YORK. oct. ss.-Thomas
Marie. OF % Dean Street. Brooklyn,
was making rather heavy seaway
down One Hundredth Street toward
the East River Monday night when
he imagined a dog snapped at him. A
moment later he thought he saw 9TH
ers and ran for the river as hard as
he could.
Albert Butter. skipper OF the brick
barge Nary H. Brigham, saw Marie
jump into the river and promptly went
over after him. Marie fought him off.
apparently under the impression that
Butter was a dog. and il was not until
the bargeman had struck him in the
face and stunned him that he was able
to make and Roadway.
Policeman Allgier. OF the East One
Hundred and Fourth Street Station,
went to Buffers assistance with a
graphing hook then. and held Marie
against the side of the dock until his
rescuer could scramble ashore. Marie
was sent to the Harlem. Hospital. and
il wasn't until Allgier told how he
had had to drive five dogs away from
the dock that anybody believed the
story Marie told Or. Richardson in the
ami liSnCe.
