MACK IS SICK c=
 ToADYING HIS STARS
Declares the Big Trio Will Never Ap- pear in Athletics Uniform Again

Fans who believe that Connie Mack does not want to get rid of Plank, Bender and Coombs, but was merely trying to scare them, so that he could sign them at his own terms, are mis- taken.
 Mack has stated that the three pitchers would never again appear in Athletic uniforms. He didn't tell the reason for his sudden feeling of dis pleasure toward the three veterans, his action were different in each case fact" observed Connie, that these men are still great pitchers. Plank a1- ways has taken good care of himself He should be good for two or three years more. Bender is still young man and should last longer. Why, he was the leading pitcher in the Ameri- can league last season.
 T 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 I took, but it is a fact, nev- ertheless. For reasons which I won't divulge, am through with them, and that's all there is to it."
 Mack, in closing, made a significant remark when he said: T don't want the club. That goes for the whole one man on the team who is not for bunCh.'
 The gaunt general informed friend that he was tired of working for ball players and wasn't going broke toady- ling to temperamental stars.

OUTLAWS UNABLE TO PAY
 $2o,oo0 YEARLY TO JOHNSON
President E. A. Steininger of St. Louis Opposed to Exorbitant Salaries

President E. A. Steininge rof the St Louis Federal league club has stated that he personally was opposed to pay ing $20,000 a year salary to Walter Johnson, the Nationals famed right handler, who is said to be flirting with the outlaws.
 Fielder Jones, manager of the St. Louis Federals, likewise is opposed to exorbitant salaries for ball players, and it now appears that the "hrebal king will not be afforded an oppor- tunity to hurdle to the independents.
 Just suppose we paid Johnson $2O,- 900 a season and he pitched 40 games for us,'~ said Steininger. That would mean $500 for each game he hurled. To get back this money he wouldl have to pass at least 1000 fans through the pay gate before we would procure receipts for our expenses. As the club would carry from 20 to 25 players whose salaries would have to be paid, to say nothing of other expenses, the attendance would have to be very bull ky for us to begin to break even, to say nothing of making money
 Jones splashed cold water on the press agent stories that were spread broadcast a few days ago to the effect that he was in conference with John son in Kansas or Oklahoma by re- turning to St. Louis with the an nouncement that he was not chasing Walter Johnson, but was in Little Rock trying to sign a third baseman
 "Of course Johnson is worth any sum he can obtain, as he is great pitcher" said Jones, "but the sum he has intimated he would demand, ii we really got down to business, is a small fortune. I don't know whether we will be willing to pay it.'
 Steininger has admitted that the St Louis club has been unsuccessful in it's efforts to sign Jeff Tesreau George Burns and Art Fletcher, the three Giants who were said to have been willing to hurdle. "They are signed to ironclad contracts and cant be touched" said Steininger.
 Pressed for additional information regarding the players already lined ur for 1915 Steininger said Jones had pro- cured three good men,"
 Two of these are known to be Bill Borton. first baseman, and Roy Cor han, shortstop, both of whom once served with the White Sox. There's quite a difference between the class of Borton-Corhan players and Walter | Johnson,

TIGER CRIMSON BATTLE sATUR- DAYS MOST IMPORTANT GAME Harvard Expects to Win by Two
 TauehdoNwns

More or less safe v through their preliminary seasons, Harvard, Prince ton and Yale now turn to and upon each other, with the first match of Saturday when Princeton edges into the Stadium. Pennsylvania. battles Michigan at Ann Arbor the same aft ernoon; Yale encounters the no longer eearsome Browns; Cornell meets settles with Lehigh, and at Pittsburg those two little terrors, Washington and Jefferson and the University of Pittsburg fall upon each other
 Although it sizes up as 8 weekend far beyond the average, with cham piOnship embroilments as we'll as in tersectional encounters to give it i'm portance and added zest. The Prince ton-Harvard match carries tituiar honors, but Penn and Michiagn have both come forward so far and so rapidly in the past week or ten days that their scrap is anticipated by the football fraternity with unexpected 3ervor.
 Harvard has a game with Brown and battle with Yale to prepare for after Princeton has been met, and probably will not be at the top of her game next Saturday. Princeton, how ever, has only Harvard and Yale to consider, and is likely to be a revela- tfon to those who witnessed the earlier struggles of the Tigers to gain a foot hold.
 Both expect to have all their strength on the field. Buzz Law, who hasn't been in the best of physical condition the past two weeks, is fit, or almost fit, again, and barring new injuries, should be able to carry the full burden of Princeton's kicking campaign. Much has been written of the new defense the Tigers are pre- pairing to spring at the psychological moment but Princeton is addicted to promising generously and fulfilling miserIy.
 Hence the prevalence of a belief that the Tigers will again center theil attack around the picking of their booting star and the eternal vigilance tbat has made for most of Prince tons greatness the past few years Princeton has no attack capable of scoring touchdowns against an eleven of Harvard's defensive strength = and probably will not have one tenth Saturday.
 With Princeton it will be another case of laying back behind a stonewaTl defenes and mighty kicker and wait ing for Harvard tumble or block ed kick. Harvard, on the other hand fancies herself to win with a touch down or two, and with Hardwiclz Bradley, Mahan and Logan all oper- ating, the hope Is likely to be realized

 '@The roads are rough and have steep gradings. None of the highways are of modern construction, and the streets of the city are poorly paved and in bad condition. It is reported however, that the Hellenic govern ment will take steps to improve the condition of the roadways in the in terior, of the occupied territory. Ow- ing to the unsatisfactory country and the rolling topography of Macedonia, it is essential that motor vehicles for this market be durable and not of too light weight, and, so far as cars for pleasure purposes are concerned, cheapness is a requisite. For the latter reason, American manufactur- CTS should be in position to compete against European firms in this dis trict, inasmuch as American cars are as rule, of lower price and of dur able construction.

 The value of motor car tires is measured in the number of miles of successful use obtained. How much mileage is secured depends not only upon the choice of tire, but as well on how carefully the in-built mileage is conserved. Makers of tires can and do employ skill in the compromising rubber, in methods of making and in the vulcanizatiop processes by which the rubber and fabric are fused into homogeneous whole. The human element in the equation is important. No maker can or will underwrite and insure against the users abuse, mis-
 use and neglect of tires, which de-
 preciates the life of tires in large measure. The common form of tire abuse is under imitation. Some mak- CTS claim 91 per cent. of tires used are
 under-inf1ated. Running in rough,
 jagged car tracks and with wheels out
 of alignment all mean sacrifices of miles.
