DESERVING ATHLETICS
Connie Mack at a Loss to.
Understand Slump in
Attendance =.
HAVE EVERYTHING
TO DRAW CROWD

Is a three-time pennant winner and
worlds champion baseball team a
good money making proposition?
Ninety-nine out of every 100 fans
would venture the opinion that if
there is any money to be made in
baseball team occupying such an
enviable position in the baseball
world should be one to reap the
richest rewards that the baseball field
affords. Yet the fact is that the
Philadelphia Athletics. champions of
the American League and monarchs
Uf the baseball world. are playing to
slim and disinterested crowds this
year.
Followers Of baseball in the Quaker
City arc wondering at this strange
condition of affairs. The Athletics
are admittedly the best team in the
country today They have one of the
greatest infelds ever put together, a
strong Outteld. exceptional catchers
and great pitching staff. Added to
this they have Connie Mack for
manager
They have everything that should
so to make big paying attraction.
yet this year the fans of the Quaker
City are not warming up to the team.
All kinds of reasons have been ad-
vanced, but not any seem to At the
case II has been suggested that the
fans are tired of seeing a sure-thing
team, as they regard il. in action.
This has been true in the past. but
hardly holds good now
The Athletics are not at the top of
the heap, and are having strenuous
struggles to get there They are
playing The finest kind of ball and
earning every victory, YET the crowds
have not been forthcoming. There
is no Federal League competition IN
Philadelphia, and the Phillies have
not been going at any more rapid rate
than the Athletics. Therefore II can
nOi be set down to competition. Last
fall the Athletics handled their
worlds series ticket arrangements
finely. and there was no dissatisfac-
tion in the Quaker City, as there has
been in the past In some of the cities.
It is patent. therefore. that the
failure of the fans to respond to the
Athletics is due not to any IN will
that they might have over the ticket
matters.
Whatever it is. the officials of the
Philadelphia club are plainly wor-
ried. and are ut loss to place their
hands on the trouble. It Is one of
those inexplicable problems that
those who cater to the public fire.
quently encounter II may be that
the fans want somebody else to lead
the race and make the Athletics play
superb ball to catch up later in the
season. They are likely to have this
wish gratifed. but the question is,
Will they draw the crowds then?

been so long prosperous-there is such
an excess Of capital to spend, higher

the experience of 1892 will be re-
peated. Two of them may safely stay
in the race, but not all five or six of
them, according as NJ. l.. Smith is
classed. OF course. the trouble would
be to determine which of them
should withdraw. If all stay in the
race, there is great danger that all
of them will be defeated. despite the
fact that they will collectively poll
more votes than their opponents. The
trouble is as to how to determine
which should withdraw. That must
be left to their individual patriotism.
If any of them are more anxious to
defeat Rleasism than to become gov
ernor, they will take careful stock of
their probable strength in the first
primary and act accordingly. The
man or men among them who says
he will withdraw rather than indi-
rectly contribute to a triumph of
Bleasism in the gubernatorial race,
will not be elected governor this
year, but he will so win the hearts oi
anti-Rleasites than he will be certain
of their united support of his politi-
cal aspirations at a more propitious
season. There will be election years
other than 1914. If selfishly all the
anti-Rlease gubernatorial candidates
