Why he combined his two nick
names and assumed publicly the alias
OF Connie Mack robody knows. IN
less it be his eternal desire to stay out
OF the limeught. If that was his inten-
zion, he failed miser3bly- He who can
not tell you Connie Mack's real name is
net worthy OF the title fan For Con
ME is one OF the most talked Of men
in the public eye TO-DAY. This is due
entirely to deeds and words, excepting
The words Of Others Connie seldom
spea ks for publication. He is in direct
antithesis to his rival, McGraw, a total
~ different type Of fighting lrishman-
Connie Mack IS quiet sometimes almost
silent and he believes In watching
things from the outside rather than par
ticipating in them. So he sits on the
bench and directs his men more as
general in his headquarters than as
-caDtain who leads the stOrmtng party
He never appears on the field ana con-
FeQuently his voice is never heard
saised IN protest against an umplre's
decisions.
Connie Mack is about as self-reliant
a man as there IS in baseball. He does
not depend on anybody else's dope, but
keeps his own dCpebook. This not only
figuratively, but literally. He has col
lected facts on the strong ana weak
points Of every player in both big
leagues, most Of the prominent minor
lea guers and many leading stars OF col
lcges and semi-prOfessiOnal teams. lie
keeps notes Of these and adds to them
from time to time. Ills score book re-
cords practically every ball pitched
against his team. Connie Mack Is care
ful and sure going, and he seldom over
looks a bet" During the season he calls
his men together an hour before eacn
game and points out the vital facts con-
corning the opposition. telling his men
individually and collectively exactly
how to go about the task Of beating
them. With his notes to help him out,
Connie figures about as near to walk
ing encyclopaedia OF baseball as any
thing that goes on two legs.
He spends more time and thought In
working out the personnel OF his team
than any other manager. If he has his
eve on q yOungster who looks promis-
ing but needs further experience IN the
bush leagues, Connie sees to IL that the
while he is getting IL ne IS under Op-
tfcna1 contract to play with the Athlet-
les at some future time. Mack has
youths planted for delivery In 1912,
1918, 1914 and 1915. He viii call them
as he needs them, but every year he is
sure Of a big squad Of candidates in case
some calamity hits his. team. No mana
ger In the game looks as far ahead as
the Athletics master mind
Connie has a system Of winning PEN
nants that, at first blush, seems some
what grotesque, but that it works al
right is attested by the gon1alons OF
1902. 1905, 1908 and 1910 won by the
Athletics. His theory is to beat the
tailenders. He is willing to break even
with the first division teams If he can
wallop the tailenders good and plenty.
He does not shove IN weak pitchers

Roads.

The question of good roads is being
discussed by the farmers of Nicholas
county. and unusual interest is being
manifested. The cause of the present
agitation is the bad condition Of all of
the roads throughout the county. and
all are trying to devise ways and
means whereby the present road sys-
tenn might be improved. Nicholas
county has only a limited amount of
money considering the total mileage
0f public roads in the county. and thus
the lack of funds has been q great
handicap. Citizens who are well post
ed on the good roads question say that
this is the only solution to the problem
and are in hopes that the land owners
will take up the question and sssist IN
the work Of ipproving the Highways
