CONNIE BECOMES EXCITED. Jack Coombs Tells How Manager of Athletics Nearly Lost His Head.

It has been a fancy of baseball writ CTS to describe Connie Mack of the Athletics as an icicle who never gets excited, no matter what happens on the ball field. There was a lot of bunk about how calmly he sat through the worlds series last fall. The fact is, Connie can get excited. and it doesn't even take a worlds series to stir him up. This was shown in the recent Browns series at St Louis. The Athletics made a ninth inning rally and won out. Mack buzzed aoout like a headless chicken in his nervous ness. Coatless and fatless he waved his arms over his head when Briscoe Lord drove in a couple of runs and the players in the "coop'' had to get out to give him room.
 This was remarked about with some surprise, considering Comics reputa- tion for ice and it led Jack Coombs to unfold a secret Said Coombs: Tt was just like in the last game of the worlds series. There was a lot of bull about Con1ic sitting as still as an In- dian being burned at the stake. You remember one inning. But wait a bit, I'll get to that. Connie always sat on a box with a bunch of sweaters under him for a cushion. We'll. next to him. of course, was Jack McInnis. Connie had no coat on, but wore his hat dur ing the game. The inning came along where there were three on and one out, ana l tanned l1nk0f ana ATcHeT
 That was the time Mac jammed Comics hat down over his eyes in his excitement, somebody else kicked over the box and Connie got up, dragged his face from underneath the hat and was doing a war dance like a soused Indian when I came to the bench. His hands were waving like wild mans and he had a score card, tossing it in the air. He was acting like a kid on the Fourth of July. Hhis hat was busted. but he didn't care. He went around and patted every ybody on the back He acted like a sailor with a bun-alI excited and worked up. That was a hot day on the bench and Con- nie was the hottest proposition of the entire bunch. Was he excned? Oh, no, just batty; that's all" All of which indicates that Connie can melt once in a. while

RIVAL MANAGERS HERE
 KEEP BASEBALL SIZZLING
Sample and Farrell Fix 1t for Star At
 traction at Hospital Grounds.

Along with everything else in the city on Monday evening amateur base ball talk sizZled and boiled around the arrangements being made for the game on Wednesday afternoon. when Man ager Jack Sample is to take his newly formed Norwich Athletics down to the Hospital to attempt to administer the first and only defeat so far this season to Manager FarreIfs Hospital nine.
 For a time it looked as if the game was all off because husky Bill Austin, the only twirler the Hospital depends on, had date to pitch hay instead of baseball, but his release from the hayfeld was finally arranged for and the game was declared on. permis- sion from Dr. Pollock having been se- cured and the two managers agreeing to terms.
 Manager Sample then made par, ,tial announcement of the team, which he considers the one best bet in local amateur circles and capable of defeat ing the Hospital nine if anything in the local field can. This is the way he figures out the Norwich Athletics: For pitchers he has Simeox. Ben Houlihan and probab ab1y Bill Walsh, using two of them in the field, while the other is working in the box. Sim COX and Walsh both add hitting strength to the team, and Bill Walsh is the twirler for the Montville team who struck out IS of the St Mary's alumni last week. Walsh will prob ably be the choice to start the game.
 For first base there is Slim" McIn- tyre of the New London team of Err nest Champlin, the old Academy play CT. The latter is 8 slammer with the stick and Slim is expected to pro duce something also when he swings on Bill Austin's curves. Bunk Walsh is to do the backstopping. Bunk" is no fairy tapper with the willow and is about the best of the younger gen eration of catchers. Two of the infield positions will be guarded by Frank Glea son, who is known as hard and safe hitter and by Brennan of Jewett City, who also slams the ball to the outskirts when he connects, as he is liable to do at the most uncomfortable times for his opponents. There are others of the same calibre to be se- cured and Manager Sample says you can take it from him that therell be a game that is- game.
 As an added attraction Jim Drew has promised to- take a band down to the grounds, and there is also form ing a cheering section for the Athlet- ics. which make the contest look some classy and from the talk around the streets Monday night the indications we're for a record breaking attendance for the Hospital grounds.

WAS NOT SINFUL
 TO KISS MIR. SEE.
OscuIation With Him Was Holy and
 Sinless Saiutation.

Chicago, July 9.-Mrs. Lucille Bridges frequently kissed Evelyn Arthur See founder of the Absolute Life cult, call ed him dear and wrote letters to him while he was in jail, telling of her love for him, according to her tes- timony given at the trial of the cult leader for abducting Mrs. Bridges daughter, Mildred Bridges, IT years old.
 The many kisses I exchanged with MT. See were holy and sinless saluta- tions," Mrs. Bridges testified They had none of the meaning of the kiss the world outside of Absolute Life knows. MT. See is a pure and chaste man. It was not sinful for us to kiss We had the true light. We were above sin and safe from temptation. Notf- ing we could do would be wrong
 Mrs. Bridges said that she sent her daughter to live with See. She ad- mitted that she herself frequently vis- ited the temple of Absolute Life where See made his home, at night while her husband was away from Chi cago. Mr Bridges was in court dur ing his wife's testimony

CROP REPORT DISAPPoINTs. Causes Recession of Prices After a
 Day of Strength.

New York. July>10.-D Disappointment at the government crop report. which was issued shortly before the close of the market, caused stocks to recede quickly after a display of almost uni form strength from the opening. The losses thus sustained virtually can- celled the gains of one to two points through the list of the active stocks The character of the crop report was offset to some extent by the monthly statements of the copper producers and of the United States Steel corpora tion's thrilled orders, which were un- eXpectedly favorable.
 Good reports on both the copper and the steel trade apparently had been discounted. for the market barely moved on their publica tion. Almost the only exceptions to the strength ex- hibited through the greater part of the day were Virginia Iron. which fell back 1-2 points. and Virginia -Caro. lima Chemical, which, although it re- mained stationary when the unfavor- able annual report was published last week, declined a point today.

MORE STRIKEoUTS
 THAN TOTAL OF HITS
Pitcher Wood of Boston Americans
 Has This Record.

Few pitchers have a record the sea- son through of striking out more men than they have had hts registered against item. This, however, is the record So far this season of pitcher Wood of the Boston American league club. Including the game of Friday, when he struck out fifteen men, he has pitched this season twenty-five games, won twelve and lost seven. has struck out 129 men and has had only 121 hits registered against him. The nearest record to this the present season is the famous Walsh of Chicago who has struck out 136 men and had 146 hits made against him. Walsh and John son of Washington last year had more strikeouts than hits against them, but neither has done so well this year. For this is a heavy-hitting year and this record of Pitcher Wood is thus exceptional His work as g whole is a source of pride to the Boston base ball fans who are just now down in the mouth considerably over the show ing of their team.

Expects American Co||egians To Win Picked to Beat Oxford Cambridge in Hurdles, Two
 Jumps and Two Runs-Kelley Will Go the Quarters
 English Captain Counts Four Events for His Team

London, July 10.-Harvard and Yale will meet Oxford and Cambridge in athletic contests tomorrow on the grounds of the Queens club in West Kensington, just outside the fashion able residence district of London. All previous meetings between the same universities have taken place on these grounds. The Queens club is a most appropriate place for such a meeting, because of it's location and traditions and the character of it's membership.
 The public. however, have been so surfeited with coronation events that there is far less interest in the inter- varsity contests than would otherwise be taken. The members of the Queens club have applied for a large number of tickets, and there has been a con- siderable sale to the general public; so, with good weather, the attendance should be large. The two teams are closely matched. and it would not be surprising if the victory was won by single point.
 Where Americans Are Strongest.
 Richard c. Floyd of Harvard. the manager of the Americans, predicts that his men will win the following events:
 Hurdles. Chisholm; running broad jump, Holden; high jump. Canf1eld;
 
 What English Count on Winning.
 The English captain expects to have the first two men in the twO-mile run and that Putnam will win the hammer throw and Baker the half-mile and the one mile, if he is able to run, which is possible. He comedies close contests between Garfield of Yale and Dubois of Cambridge in the high jump, Kelley of Harvard and MacMillan of Cambridge in the quarter and Reilly yard dash. If Baker does not con- tend the Englishmen look to Taylor of Oxford to win the half-mile
 A large staff of men are at work putting the grounds into condition. A little rain would have made them suitable for record breaking The Harvard and Yale men did only a half hours light work at Brighton today. Yale- Harvard Men in Good Condition.
 Manager Floyd says that all are in good condition, but it is impossible to say how fast they are until they mate may have affected their speed, MT. Floyd thinks, especially that of the distance men. Kelley, who sprain- ed his ankle a few days ago. will run the quarter. The injured ankzle is much better. but he is still 1ame
 Tonight all the Americans were in bed early. They expect the hardest kind of competition tomorrow, but hope to win the expected event of the nine on the programme. They will have no excuses to OCT if beaten. The Harvard and Yale representatives will reach London tomorrow at noon.
