Maps Leader Is Latest to Accuse
Connie Mack Of Getting Other
Teams Signs,

CHICAGO, ILL, June 2S.-Mana-
ger Joe Birmingham, of Maps, is
the latest person to tell why the
Athletics are leading the American
League. Connie Mack and his men
have stolen the opposing teams
signs" says Birmy. All of which
puts him in bad with all lovers of
clean sports. The chances are that
the Athletics haven't stolen any clubs
signs; neither have they played I'M
fair in any way. They are winning
games solely on their merits and de-
serve all the honor that goes with vic
tory. The Mackmen have proved
themselves to be the class in the jun
for organization, and it's about 10 to
bet now that they viii play in the
worlds series next fall.
Many fans believe that not only will
the Athletics come back after a year.
reversal of form, but that their OPP
ponents next October will be none
other than the Giants. If such is the
case 1t will be the third time that
McGraw and Mack have locked horns
in a worlds series. The count to date
stands even, McGraw beating Con-
ME worse than six-love back in 1905
and Mack gaining the upper hand IN
1911 nearly as easily.
ONE player on the Athletics who
~ Is seldom mentioned in connection
with the teams success is neverthe-
less one of the strongest factors OF
that aggregation. He is Amos Strunk
the speedy outfielder of the Mack
men. Strunk has developed remark
ably since last season. and he is to-
day one of the most valuable men
Mack has on his team. Not only is he
one of the greatest felders in the
league, but he is a fast base runner
and is hitting at $40 clip this sea-
son. Strunk gets little credit for the
important part he has played in the
success of his team. He is seldom
mentioned as having distinguished
himself and yet he has done as much
as any other member of the team to
make possible it's remarkable winning
streak. On any other team Strunk
would be a sensation, but he is lost
among the numerous stars which
Mack has.
1T is doubtful II there is another in
stance in baseball where a player
has developed as fast as he Two
years ago Strunk was an ordinary
player, who was in the game but sell
dom. Mack farmed him out a whole
season TO Milwaukee, and it was while
there that Strunk developed into a
real star.

A Story Of the Moment
BY WALT MASON
The Famous Prose Poet

tive And when we come down to
bronze tacks, Mrs. Jamesworthy, the
old fashioned cookies, as made by our
sainted grandmOthers, are hundred
percent better than anything the baker
turns out.
''I remember quite well how my moth
er entertained company in the halcyOn
DAYS. There were no food clubs in those
days. The women of a neighbOrhOOd
assembled once in a while, but always
for some safe and sane purpose. Most
of the women made their own quilts
in those days. and the quilting bee was
a popular diversion The women sat
around a large framework, sewing on
the quilt and as they worked they
engaged in helpful and uplifting con-
versatiOn. We had such jamborees at
our house on many occasions and when
the beldames had worked for two or
three hours mother would go to the
kitchen and come back with a big dish
of apples. or peradVenture cake that
she made with her little Ratchet.
The idea of sending out for nectar
and ambrosia, and ice cream and
waters, never occurred to her, and
when the festivities were ended, and
the females had departed, there was
no painful vacuum in the family
strong box. It makes my heart ache
to think of the way our mothers used
to run things, and contrast their meth
DDS with those of present day wives

worthy. If you can't entertain Duncn

you'd better call off the whole bust

'Tt's a surprising thing that women
can't have a meeting OF any sort unless
they are supplied with expensive
refreshments. If men consider 1t nee
essary to assemble for any given pur-
pose they never think Of ordering ice
cream or angel food. Their minds are
on the business they are meeting for,
and there's no thought of refreshments
unless one gentleman finds that he has
a cigar while another has a match.
The fact that women can't hold sue
cessful meetings unless they have
something to chew on argues against
their usefulness in politics or public
life. Before long we'll be having
women juries and I tremble for the
dignity of our courts when the female
jurors begin sending word to the judge
that they can't agree on verdict I'M
less they have three quarts of pine
apple ice cream, and two pounds of

This whole idea Of refreshments at
social gatherings is eXtravagant folly
and should be denounced by press ana

is part of the scheme of American
housewives to send their husbands to
the poorhoUse by the shortest route.
