MAGNATES ALWAYS
POUR SAYS MACK

Connie Mack, manager and half
owner of the Philadelphia Athletics,
has unexpectedly become l~oquacious
long enough to deny the generally ac-
credited assertion that baseball mag
mates are becoming wealthy off that
dear public. Connie also sounds a
warning that the big league clubs are
spending too much money, and as an
example he points to the fact that the
Athletics have not paid a cash dividend
in years, Notwithstanding that they
have. been worlds champions of the
diamond.
Connie became reminiscent as he
gave his information. 1t all started
over a remark made by a caller that
many baseball men had retired with
fortunes.
name all the men he could recall that
had retired from baseball with a for
tune made out of the playing end of
the game. He began to figure and in
the end couldn't name a single man.
Then l named the only man of
whom L could think. This was Ned
Hanlon, former manager of the Balti-
more and Brooklyn teams. Hanlon
was player, manager and club owner.
And yet when we look carefully into
his case we will find that Hanlon re-
tired.on the profits which he mad out
of real estate rather than the profits
from baseball. .
The immense growth of baseball has
reached the point where it has forced
| the club owners to- sit up and think
The cost of building new plants, the
large increase in the salaries of play
ers and the other expenses have grown
to such proportions that it has become
a serious question with the magnates
as to what is to be done If they are
going to get even a fair interest on
their Investments.
TT has been several years since the
Athletics paid a dividend. Here we
have been working for years for one
purpose. That was to build a park that
would take care of our patrons and
then pay for it. We planned the ven
ture at Shibe park, three a before
we left Columbia park and we have
been at Shibe park -four seasons, dur
ing two of which we were worlds
champions. %
The situation is giving minor
league as well as major league club
owners a lot of thought. The problem
will have to be met by each club ac-
cording to its ideas of what is best
for itself and it's patrons.
"One of the reasons for the largely
increased outlay to run a ball club is
the rule which has caused clubs to add
more men to their roster. There was

COMPARISONS OF

1t is the longest interview in Murphy's

from the shell of secrecy in which he

Most interesting is his explanation
of why Chance was let out and his
comparison of Chance and Evers.

N M'C0PP|N TO BID
ON SEWER JOB

Joseph McCoppin of Little Rock,
contractor for the Conway water
works system, while in this city yes
terday obtained copies of the plans
and specifications from Engineer G.
H. Burr and stated that he intended
to file bid on June 5 for the con-
struction of Conway's new sewer sys-
tenn.
Mr.. McCoppin has many friends
here who hope his bid on the sewer
system will prove to be the successful
one. Although he states that he has
constructed the waterworks system at
heavy financial loss, due in part to
the fact that he was installing wood
en- pipe system which with him was an
untried experiment, he apparently has
been willing to do all in his power to
make the system success, and it is
now conceded by all that when the
additional work he has agreed to do
has been performed, Conway will
have one of the best and most efficient
water systems in the state. Mr.. Nc
'Coppin has had much experience in
installing sewer system, having put
in about two-thirds of all the sewers
in Little Rock.

ALABAMA CROPS
Farmers Will Defy Law and

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 16.-Conl-
missioner John H. Wallace, Jr., of
the game and fish department, has re-
ceived information that deer are SO
plentiful in Tuscaloosa county that
they are preying upon the crops of
that county, and the farmers ara
threatening to kill them. The infor-
nation was received in a letter from
e. F. Hammer, of Elrod.
Commissioner Wallace replied that
he was gratified at the increase of
deer and advised that it was against
the law to kill deer before November
/, and that only bucks could be slain
after that date. He stated that he
would reimburse the parties damaged.
Deer have been reported in fifty of the
sixty-seven counties Of Alabama, and
the commissioner believes they will
soon be as plentiful as in the days of
the early settlers.
