Scarcely day slips by without add
ing to the fund of reasons why Connie
Mack has been so successful in his
efforts to land star baseball players.
The primary reason for his success
undoubtedly is that he insists con-
stantly on increasing his number Of
friends and the number of folks have
cause to be grateful for some favor
done by him.
The career of Joe Jackson furnishes
one of the striking examples. Charley
Frank, New Orleans manager, is spon-
sor for this tale. Connie had control
of Joe's actions from the time that
Joe first showed signs of glistening.
When Joe refused to play in Philadel-
phia, Connie turned him over to Sa-
vannah, but with the understanding
that Joe still was under his control.
New Orleans was next in line. Con-
ME turned Joe over to the Pelicans.
Boss Frank, of the local club, insisted
on paying some money for Joes serv-
ices.
NO." answered Connie. "He may
prove a failure. We can better afford
to lose the money than have you lose
it."
But take $500 anyway" insisted
Frank. I'D like to gamble on him.
He may prove a great star"
well, If he doesn't" answered Con-
ME, so much the better. But we
don't want thing for him"
Get the result of the good feeling

COZY DOLAN NOW A PIRATE
Incapacitated by WiId-Eyed Youth on
Atlanta Team Who Spiked Him
In Sliding to Third.

Cozy Dolan, turned loose by the
Yankees last year, who now is max
ing good with the Pittsburgh Pirates,
offers an explanation of why he wasn't
able to play up to his best form under
Wolverton.
1T was while the Yanks were train
ing in the south last spring." says
Dolan, that l met with the accident
which drove me back to the minors.
We were playing against the Atlanta
club and had the team beaten by some
thing like 10 to 1. In the ninth in
ming young fellow came tearing into
third base.
Il had him out easily, but he was
a wild-eyed chap and slid straight for

jar as his foot struck my leg, but
l didn't feel any pain and merely
gave the youngster the laugh, for his
foolishness.
When l was walking to the dress
ing room felt the blood running down
my leg. The young fellows spikes
had opened V-shaped cash In my
left leg below the knee. Strange
enough, l couldn't find any hole in the
stocking where the spikes had gone
through. That injury kept me off the
field for several weeks.
After we went north my leg was
still in bad shape. I tried to play a
game or two, but did so poorly tina.
Wolverton had to let me out. Here

ment. He virtually made lifelong
friend out Of Frank. The New Orleans
magnate became deeply indebted to
the Athletic chief. When Jackson
finally did develop Frank could not
be so ungrateful as to refuse to give
Connie the first chance at Jackson's
services.

ton of that tale Frank indirectly re-

ed as one of the highest priced young
fellows ever drawn from a minor
league club.
Those with keen knowledge about
baseball affairs will remember the sen.
sation created by Jackson prior to his
removal to the Cleveland club. Joe
was the most discussed minor league
player in the country in 1910. G. w,
Murphy, owner of the Cubs, threw the
first real shot at Charley Frank in the
shape of a message offering $4,000
for the Carolina wonder.
New watch the effect of Connie
Mack's gift. Did Frank Immediately
telegraph the news broadcast to get
other bids. He did not. His first
move was to get message to Con.
ME, telling of Murphy's offer and seek
ing advice.
"If you've been offered $4,000 by
Murphy, don't take $4,000 for him, "
answered Mack.

In February last year the Swedish
Wholesale association began a deter
mined attack on the sugar trust. The
trust controlled the Swedish sugar
market and, owing to highly devel-
oped organization of districts, die
tated prices all over the country. 1t
had fixed the price of sugar at IA
ores (about three-fifths of cent?
above the prices of all the other sugar
markets of the Old World, in addition
to the import duty. If an individual
trader tried to import sugar on his
own account the trust would 1mmedl-
ately lower the price in his neighbor-
hood and drive him out of business.
The Swedish Wholesale association
had obtained permission from the
trust to supply sugar to its societies
in the neighborhood of Stockholm, but
not to others All the other societies
were obliged to buy from private mer-
chants in their own particular districts
as specified by the trust. The trust
at once lowered it's prices in other
countries, regardless of the duty, But
the wholesale association had acted in
a favorable moment and could easily
undersell the trust, whose control over
the cooperative societies was COM
pletely broken. Another result of this
fight was that the Swedish parliament
was obliged to take legislative action
against the trust and break its power
over the private dealers as well.
