Can Mack Do What
Wrecked Cubs Did?

There is no denying that, Connie
Mack has wrecked the champion Ath-
letics. without Bender, Plank and
Collins the Athletics, at one time
held up as the greatest of all ball
clubs, do not loom up as a formidable
outfit Yet the dope shows that at
least one ball club came back, and
came back strong, after the loss OF Its
greatest stars.
II was another case OF wrecking,
but different from the case OF the Ath-
letics. Charles w. Murphy had his
own personal-some say prejudiced--
reasons for handing first Frank
Chance, then Joe Tinker, and finally
John Eyers walking papers. Yet the
Cubs, with Evers in 1913, were a sue
cess comparatively. and last season
without Evers they were more than
formidable
II doesn't seem reasonable that a
club can lose three such men as Col
Inns, Bender and Plank and stay in the
first division, but the fans will not be
excessively surprised IL the Athletics
