WITH said Mr.. Mack. I'VE would get
away out in front and then the pitchers
would blow. We scored enough runs to
win half dozen games. But prosperity
seemed to be too much for our twirlers,
and the minute we piled up lead they
lost whatever effectiveness they had.
'Then we struck the Tigers at the
worst time. They were playing great
base ball: in fact, wonderful base ball:

their stride. Those things happen. If

Until the eighth inning Sullivan pitched

PLAY AHEAD OF THEIR GAIT

CHICAGO, July c2-Connie Mack is
modest.
Connie Mack is very modest.
In fact. the leader of the worlds cham
pion Athletics is exceedingly modest. And
here is an example: Connie. you know, is
strictly in this race for the pennant of
the American League. He is four and
one-half games behind the Tigers. who
are playing great base ball. The leader
of the present champions was in his
hotel,
'"WelI, who will win the pennant?" he
was asked.
pretty hard to answer that question, :
was his answer.
''Will the Tigers win it,
''I don't think So was his answer.
'.Will the Sox win ito
"Well, l don't think So was his an
swer.
Twill the Maps win it?''
"In my opinion they will not" was his
answer
New York. Boston or the Nationals"
NO was his answer.
Refuses to Claim Anything.
That left it between the Athletics and
the ST. Louis Browns And no one has an
idea for moment that the Browns will
win it. That leaves the Athletics. That's
the way you interview Connie. BY the
process of elimination. You see, Connie
doesn't want to claim something which
he hasn't cinched. In his own heart he
Is absolutely convinced that the Athletics
will repeat.
But when 1t comes to print Connie tells
you seven clubs which will not win. The
only team which will not lose is the
Philadelphia outfit. Therefore, they must
win. That's the way to interview Connie.
You know the Tigers gave his crew a
terrific drubbing when the Philadelphia
lads .journeyed to Detroit In fact, 1t
was by grabbing four straight games
that the crew OF Jennings pulled away
from the one bossed by the elongated
director Of the worlds champs.

She wouldn't have been a daughter OF
