Mack's Athletics galloped into the first
score of the year here today when the
house of Mack riddled San Antonio with
base hits. winning theinitial game of
the spring training series by the lopsided
score of II to - The base hit viciousness
of the Mackrnen disorganized the Texas
Leaguefs SO much that spectators were
speculating before the finish Of the
slaughter that the total would reach
fifty runs should Mack refuse to tell his
proteses to let up in the firing 1t was

Texans arc not aware Of it. Home runs,
triples, doubles and in fact all types of
hits were inaugurated by the visitors.
Twenty-eight ball-denting drives for a
total Of thirty-five bases is the after

Leaguers against a trio Of pitchers.
With the exception of third base and

regular forces on the field Orr, the re-
cruit from Sacramento. ably filled Baker 8
shoes. His batting was one OF the high
spots of the contest Out of six trips to
the plate he hit safely four times for a
total of eight bases. His drive over the
left field fence in the fifth inning marked
the first time the horsehide has been
driven out of new San Antonio Park. He
scored McInnes and Barry ahead of him
and furthered the rally which netted the
Mackmen eleven runs during this session.
Other Mackmen who poked the ball
into safe territory three or more times
were Barry, McInnes, Walsh Collins,
Oldring and T.. Murphy.
Mack did not neglect his yanigans for
the game. He had his youngsters work
ing out both morning and afternoon.
The Athletics will again cross bats with
San Antonio tomorrow. the game starting
at O'Clock. which is an hour earlier
than usual down here. Bush, Cottrell

Bids will be received today for the contract to be let Monday for the erec- tion of the plant of the Arkansas Packing Company. The plant will cost about $150.0O0 and it will be erected on the site just east of the Cotton Belt shops, near the eastern city limits.

 It was originally intended to receive bids for the work month ago. but the plans and specifications were changed some by the Bureau of Ami mai Industry at Washington, making it necessary to postpone the letting of the contract until now.
 Among the contractors who have already rarived in the city to submit bids are J. F. Madden, manager of L. R. Wright and Company, Little Rock; Mr. Wright, of Fort Worth, Texas: William Brice and MT. Quinn, of Fort Worth, Texas, and w. A. Prather. of Memphis.

PENNY \ WEEK FOR
 PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS

Under this heading, Mayor George
 R. Lunn, of Schenectady, N. Y., has issued circular urging the people of the city to support bond issue of $S00,O0O for parks and playgrounds says the American City Magazine. The circular contains reproductions of five plans, prepared for Schenectady by John Nolen, of Cambridge, Mass. The importance of a properly planned city, with adequate recreation facili- ties, is effectively stated by Mayor Lunn. In speaking of the expense in volved he says:
 There has been great outcry on the part of few Sd to the expense The cost of this improvement will be more than met by the increased property valuation of our city. Even if the entire cost, placed at $500, ,000, were levied against the present popu- lation it would mean a penny week per individual.
 Our only object is to make Sche- nectady progressive city. to make it a place where peopl will want to live whether or not they work in the city's industries, because it will be better place to live in than the places where such people now live; to make it a bigger, better Schenectady, bet ter not only industrially and commer- cially, but better also ill the moral, mental and physical welfare of it's people.
 ''Give us more parks and less crime. and drunwenness, more parks and less jails, more parks and better health, more parks and playgrounds that by legitimate recreation our as we'll as our grown-ups. may develop happy, useful life in a ciyt openly standing for human well fare as important above all things else'
