With all these bidders Mack can

vantage. providing he is willing to as
sumo some of the big contracts other
clubs are said to be paying their star

realize a tidy sum for the Athletics.
but as Connie announced last Saturday
that he wanted to get the waivers so
that he could give each man his un-
conditional release he showed clearly
that he had no desire to derive profit
from any one by selling them to the
highest bidder. But now that certain
clubs are said to have refused to waive
them he may be compelled to take
money for their release. for he would
hardly let any man go to another team
for the waiver sum.

DONE WITH STARS
Mack Says Plank, Bender and
Coombs Won't Play for Him.
PRAISES THE THREE MEN
Red Sox, Yankees and Maps Anxious
to Grab Two Of the
Twirlers.

PHILADELPHIA, November fans
who believe that Connie Mack does not
want to get rid of Plank, Bender and
Coon,bs. but was merely trying to
scare them so that he could sign them
st his own terms. are mistaken.
Mack said yesterday that the three
pitchers would never again appear in
Athletic uniforms. Mack didn't give the
full secret away for his sudden feeling
Of displeasure toward the three veter-
ans. but he did say that the reasons for
his action we're different in each case
The tall tutor declared emphatically
that he did not believe that the pitch
ers had outlived their usefulness
THE papers have overlooked the
fact" observed Connie, that these men
are still great pitchers. Plank is a
wonder. and as he has always taken
good care of himself he should be good
for two or three years more. Bender is
still a young man, and should last
longer. Why. he was the leading pitch
er in the American League last season.
rCoombs May Come Back.
Il haven't the slightest doubt that
Coombs will come back and pitch as
good ball as he ever did. This may
sound funny for a man to say after
the action / took, but it is a fact new
ertheless- For reasons which I won't
divulge I am through with them, and
that's all there is to it."
Mack. in closing, made a significant
remark. when he said: 81 don't want
one man on the team who Is not for
the club. That goes for the whole
bunch"
Mack would not admit receiving any
offers for the deposed pitchers. In ask
ing waivers on them, it does not neces-
sarily mean that the men will be sold
at the waiver price. If club, or clubs.

If they cared. Detroit could ask waiv-
ers on Cobb. and if there was compe-
tition for his services he could be

FRANCE EXPECTS

PARIS April Sl-Ths French For
sign Once. although no ofnc3al an
nouncemsnt has been made Of its
attitude toward the Mexican situa-
tion. Il understood to regard the ac-
tion Of the United States with Q feel
ing Of relief. The French Govern
ment has ever since tho disorders in

tho difacuity Of protecting adequately
French interests In Mexico and con-
siders that the phase now beginning
must end IN constitutional order and
peace.
LONDON. April M.-considerabie

the Mexican situation by the British
newspapers.
The Manchester Guardian. the most
influential organ Of the English peace
party. says that war. should II come.
would b purely ridiculous II tho
stakes wsrs not human lives and ma
tional rsputations. II both sides arc
itching to be at each others throats,
the newspaper continues. It would be
discrsditable to them both to have
no better ocoasion for beginning. The
originating cause Of the dispute IN
undoubtedly tho extension OF the
Monroe Doctrine which. from being
more notice board to Europe against
political trespassing in the New
World, has become sort Of gazetting
Of the United States as the political
school-mistress Of Central and South
America.
Tho Guardian thinks President Will
son was wrong In refusing to recog-
mise Gen. Huerta, and that the result
ing Intervention will put Pancho
villa In tho position Huerta now oc-
cupies, which Is mot an attractive
prospect, for Villa possesses In q
dent Wilson has found with Huerta." :"
Tho Liverpool Post In taking tho
ground that President Wilson's mes
sage was tho inevitable elimination
OF American policy In refusing TO
recognise Huerta says tho respons-
ibility OF the United States could not
cease with q mere conquest under
arms and the upholding OF American
dignity. nor could 1t be confined to
the immediate protection OF inter-
national commercial interests. II
adds:
"The further responsibility would
devolve upon the United States OF
taking such steps a. might be con-
sidered necessary for the permanent
protection Of those interests and that
could ony be done by establish Inv
such q form and personnel Of govern
ment as would Insure the greatest

In the declaration that the military
operations OF the United States are
being taken not against the people
of Mexico but against Huerta, says
