Mack Looks for a Race.

For the Athletics to repeat, the team
must be in the best of condition and
never let up for second. We were
fortunate last season on the question OF
injuries, and may not be SO lucky this
year. In 1910 we had two star players,
Strunk and Oldring, out of the game: but
when Oldring was hurt. Strunk had re-
covered, and we were not weakened to
any great extent
1.-The other teams also must be consider
ed; there are seven other clubs in the
league, and none of them have been idle
since the season closed Many have been
strengthened with excellent material
For instance, there are two or three
clubs which did not figure high last sea-
son that should be dark horses this year.

would be foolish for anybody to count
either team out of the pennant running.
Detroit is dangerous at all times. The
Tigers have tremendous batting strength
and are game fighters to the last. They
should be better this year than last,

to work harder to beat them.
have a grand outfield and infield, and a
fine pitching staff. I can't understand
how it could go bad this. year.
The real team in the league, however,
is New York. l am actually more afraid
of the Highlanders than any other rival
club. Their pitchers and catchers are
young and should do even better work
this year than last. Moreover, the High
landers have good, fast team in the field
and play inside base ball. They showed
more scientific and inside stuff last sea-
son than any of our opponents
Il consider Hal Chase one of the great
est players in the country, and believe
that it won't be long before he is rated
just as highly as a manager. The team
that beats the Highlanders next season is
going to win the pennant."

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
Many Rumors Drifting Around the
Magnates Today.

NEW YORK. February 1.-THE base
ball magnates of the National League
were all on hard bright and early to-
day for the second section of their an
nual meeting. the first part OF which
was held in December. The sessions
are held at the Hotel Breslin. in this
city. and will probably last until late
tomorrow or Thursday.
Rumors of possible lively doings
have been flying around the league cir
cult for the past few weeks. and there
were indications today that clashes
were impending over several of the
subjects programmed for discussion.
The main clash was expected over the
proposed adoption of a new official
league ball for 1912. Other subjects
on which a difference of opinion was
not unlikely were the alleged attitude
Of President Lynch toward the umpire
situation. the schedule committees
draft of dates and the question of rules
revision.

PHILADELPHIA, February 14.-Just
because a certain tall gent who says ms
name is Mack happens to be the concert
meister of the Athletics and the Athletics
carried off a few gewgaws in base ball
last season. it does not necessarily follow
that Mack considers his bonded servants
unbeatable.
AS a matter of fact, everybody In Phil
adelphia is lamenting the belieT that
there will be no race in the American
League this year they show a startling
unanmity of opinion that the Athletics
will have the pennant again before they
take the field. The only skeptic in Phila-
delphia is Connie Mack, manager of the
Athletics
DO you think. Mr.. Mack. that the
Athletics will have this years pennant
clinched by April 30. or will it be as late
as May 1o?" the still, tall manager was
asked.

yes. there is a team in the American
League so styled. l believe they get I'M

Howard Zollman Jailed on Charge
of Incendiarism


Howard Zollman, son of Charles
Zollman of Buffalo, was brought to
Lexington TUESDAY evening by
Sheriff K. l.. Morrison and confined
in Jail under charge OF burning the
house OF William Zollman a short
time ago on the Ruftner farm recent
ly purchased by him; also charged
with the burning OF William Eli
mans barn last March. The arrest
was made on evidence Of detective
from Richmond, who worked up the
case. Tuesday morning Justice w.
F. Pierson bailed young Zollman in
the sum of 81, 800, his brother. Tuck
err Zollman, going on his bond. The
preliminary trial will be heard Fri
day. No evidence was taken before
the bail bond was given.
1t will be recalled William Zoll-
mans house was burned Thursday
night, August 3rd, and it was
thought the fire was due to incen-
diarism. Blood hounds were
brought from Richmond, but recent
rains prevented a successful hunt
of the criminal, and the dogs were
taken back to the State farm. The
case was not abandoned, however.
Sunday, August 9th, a stranger ar
L r,vod !, Tav;putor from, D;obr,0rd
and registered at the Lexington ho-
tel as r. E. Clodfelter. He was
sent here as detective by the State
Bureau of Insurance, and at once
began work on the case. 1t seems
there were two suspects in the case
and TO these the detective gave his
attention. Passing as a brother o.
a man in the neighborhood, it is al
legged, he soon won the confidence
OF Howard Zollman, one OF the mer
suspected OF the burning. and the
detective says young Zollman con
fessed to him that he had burned
both the barn and dwelling house
of William Zollman. On this testi
mony Howard Zollman was arrest
ed and sent to Jail. Young Zollman
however, denies making any such
statement TO the detective.
Mr.. Clodfelter is a member Of the
Richmond National Detective
Agency.
