Athletics are coming The lineup Of

form Of big "Rube" Oldring. Of the
veteran Eddie Plank. and some few OF
their teammates
Mack must begin and rebuild or share
the misfortune Of Frank Chance who
allowed great team to die suddenly
upon his hands.
Oldring himself knows that the axe
is coming. in fact, he told the Boston
rOOters that same thing during the
worlds series While the Braves were
pounding Shawkey in that fatal fifth
inning, and the crowd was chatting the
Philadelphia left fielder. Oldring took
occasion between safe hits TO tell his
tormentors that he was nearly done.
This is my last worlds series and

derstOod that the machine was break
ing Very likely Oldring himself. who
had been a terrible disappointment in
the series, and whose failure TO come
through with his usual long hits. had
been one OF the .wea knesses Of the Phil
adelphia attack, had felt the unspeken
criticism Of his mates

At any rate, Oldring has delivered
an alleged ultimatum. and in the pres

be thar Connie Mack has given some
hint as TO his future plans. and that
