The first impression of Dubuc is not
usually favorable one. To the unin.

Up to the present moment. we have
refrained from uttering few kind
words concerning them. There's a
reason, as they say In breakfast food

past whenever someone asserted that

one a liar by trying to burrow through
the bottom Of the American league.
But this year II may be different.
At any rate, we cannot do other than
make the plain statement that the
1915 Yankees look better and have
been displaying better baseball than
any Yank team since Jack Chesbro
and associates nearly won a pennant
in 1904.
The Yanks, so far. have been the
real surprise of the American league

good reasons. One was that II was q

NEW UNIFORMS FOR MACKMEN

Along with the new stars who have
left the Philadelphia American fold
this year go the much criticized road

men wear costumes of grayish

This is the first time since Mack
won the first championship for Phila'
delphia that there has been a change
in the uniform of the Athletics. Mack
is more or less superstitious, and he
believed that the dull gray uniforms
In which the Athletics formerly ap.
peared were partly responsible for the
good fortune of his team. For that
reason he was ioath to change. al
though ais team was often criticized
for its slovenly appearance.
