MACK EXPLAINS
"''' SnAkEUP OF
ATHLETIC TEAM

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. IMAM
aeer Connie Mack OF the champion
Athletics made the first statemen,
concerning the shakeup OF his club
and its chances in the American
league race next season. when he was
asked to come ont and give an en-
PLANTATION for the release of his three
star twirlers. Bender. Plank and
Coombs, and the sale of EAaie Collins
to the White SoX. MackE eXplana-
ton was that he frankly did not see
how the Athletics could hope to win
the American league penrfant as they
were constituted.
Mack was sincere in his statement
and said that he expected the wOllds
series to be contested in Boston next
season. at least the American league
end of it. unless the Red Sox and the
Tigers were. both badly crippled.
Connie says that his club Is not near
ly us strong now as 1t was year ago
and that there are many reasons
why. ma
While he would not admit it di
rcctly. it ia generally believed that
tHe recent Ira iHUulus- cbuuie NOilIuS
controversy had much to do with it.
Thomas accused Collins of spelling
the Athletics signal system and.
through newspaper articles, tipping
the opposing teams off so many
things that the Athletics had profit
ed IRON in the past.
Mack said that the other clubs in
the American league would now play
the Athletics on different lines and
make 1t much harder to win than or
dinarily because his club was natur-
ally looking for and expecting to get
n large advantage through Collins
indiscretions. '.. 7l
Y In speaking Of the American
league race next season Connie said:
Il figure Boston to be the strongest
club in the American league and do
not see how my club can repeat un-
less the Red SoX and Tigers are badly
crippled. The Boston club Is one
that will be strong in every depart
ment and with Wood in shape again
will have the strongest pitching staff
any club has possessed in years.
1T is IA club that plays good bail
all the time and with the batting
strength it has only the complete
breakdown of the pitching staff ca.:
cause the team TO finish away from
the top of the ladder With Collins
in its lineup Chicago may prove a
surprise. h-
Detroit is also a club that Is going
to give the Athletics fight to fin
ish second, and with the breaks the
Tigers are liable to win. Detroit's
weakness at second base is said to
have been plugged up by the pur-
chase Of Young from the Sacramento
club of the Coast league

CAIRO HIGH TO
PLAY AT Vienna
TODAY FOOTBALL
This Will be the Last Game of
Football Of the Season Played
Away From Home.

The Cairo High School football
team leaves this morning for Vienna
for the last game Of the season away
from home.
Ihe game this afternoon with the
Vienna boys is the first game for
local team since the Paducah game
! two weeks ago.
Ryan has been using the prac-
tites of the last week in prepara-
Lion for today's game and states
that all his men will be in the game
aud that they are in good shape.
The game today should be a close
one FOR while Vienna has been play
ing exceptionally good ball this sea-
son Ryan's proteges have also kept
a good pace and will go into this
afternoon game with renewed en-
thuslasm after laying off for two
weeks.
Vienna's record so far this season
includes a tie game with Eldorado
and a defeat by the small score of
7 to by Harrisburg. Both of these
teams are clas;ed among the best
in Southern Illinois.
The Cairo boys have not met the
I.ldorado bunch this season but in
the game with Harrisburg were de-
teated by a larger score than was
Vienna. However the LEGAL team
was greatly crippled by the absence
of Curry and Kusener in this game.
With these two men back in the line
up can Cairo pile up score Of such
manner as to spoil the present
dope on the standing Of the schools
of Southern Illinois The game
this afternoon may decide.
The team left this morning on
the Big Four accompanied by Coach
Ryan, Prof. Clendenen and Prof.
Peterson. Beside the regular eleven
four substitutes were taken making
