The Athletics are made up of young
men who like to play bail. There
isn't a lazy player on the team. From
the moment the Mack's men put on
their uniforms they display energy. In
practice they show ginger and speed,
while in championship games they new

weak. the champions do not let up.
They seem to enjoy the task of fatten-
ing their batting averages. and they
revel in difficult plays. On the bench
they talk baseball, and when mistakes
are made there's no I'll feeling. Great
plays prompt enthusiasm and words of
praise. while Mack at all times is the
king pin. Lack of jealousy and fric-

Of Harry Davis, for instance. The vet
eran has been supplanted at first base
by young McInnis. yet the latter has
no more ardent supporter than Davis,

The Nackmen didn't have the honor
very long. The very next day they
tcppled out again. and Detroit was
back. They went west again and
struck a calamity in Detroit, which
swept four straight games from their
ancient enemy Therefore in a little
more than a week after Independence
day Detroit had gained first place and
was leading the Athletics by five and
one-half games.
With the season more than half fin

worse than ever. but the Mack wreck

His team didn't quit. The tactician
whipped his players together the very

next two from the Tigers, beat Cleve-

east and continued their success.
They won twenty out of twenty-five
games before they had a slight reac-

St Ambrose college playing a game.
Rock Island high school was scheduled
TO meet the Alumni in the annual en-
counter which always marks the open
ing of the football season in Rock
Island. Since the year 1906 when the
high school team won, to 5. the
Alumni has always been successful in
getting away with the long end of the
argument and they expressed q deter
ninatton TO continue the record IN TO-
days contest at Island City park. The
high school boys felt sure that il was
their turn at last and that they were
due to start the schedule with a vic
tory.
MOLINE AT HOME.
Moline high school which last Sat
urday easily won from Maquoketa,
was scheduled to play the Aledo high
school team and the prospects were
considered bright for another victory
for the Pillow City boys
Davenport counted on an easy vic
tory over Maquoketa. inasmuch as
they proved so easy for Moline last
week. Coach Nixon has a squad which
appears as good as last year and the
team is already attracting attention
through Iowa.
