MACK MAKES PREDICTIONS.
Says Reconstructed Team Will Be
Stronger Than 1914 Team.

While other people are bemoaning
the disruption of such a once powerful
baseball machine as the Athletics, Con-
ME Mack has been quietly gathering
the material which will bring future
championships to Shibe Park. He is
confident that his drastic policy with
relation to the old team was justified
1t was the only one which could be
applied to conditions as they existed
No excuses are offered for the present
team, but at last Connie is making pre-
dictions and the most stirling one is
that in two years he will have a great
or team than the onelthat was broken
up. In the last two weeks of the sea
son he says the baseball public will
have an opportunity of seeing this new
material on the diamond. Aside from
the pitchers there will be a few CT the
present members of the team as the ba-
sis of the rehabilitated Athletics. In
discussing the baseball situation he
says:

PUNTEn VALUABLE THIS YEAR.
90: ward Pass Rule Revised to Break
Up {. Common Play.

kicEcrs are not ordinarily in demand
IN sport any more than they arc in any
p,acr line Of cndoavor, but football
his year promises to be an exception
the rule. Even in the days when
he bali was "frcc' immeiiately it
TAD touched the ground it is doubtful
if the Eunter was OF more importanee
TO the team than he viii be in 1915
The reason for this may readily be
found in the latest rovisal Of the for
ward pass rule, which counts the pass
which goes outside the field incom-
pleted, instead Of one giving the ball
to the opposing side at the point where
it crossed the side line.
This rule purposcly was promulgated
10 break up a play which had become
more or less common among teams of
hurting the ball outside on the fourth
down instead of punting and taking "a
chance on the return run. This was
especially effective among teams which
possessed a man who could hurl the
ball for 80 to 50 yards with accuracy
and speed when competing against an
eleven which had one or two remark
ably fast men or agile dodgers. The
play was one which, while within the
bounds of craftsmanship and well
within the rules of the game, detract-
ed much of the spectacular from the
game and which met with seant favor
from the spectators.
Perhaps the greatest utility of q
fast, lodging back comes in his return
ing punts. On this play the speedster
has ample time to get under way, to
utilize his speed so that it viii help
him in lodging and so escape oncom-
ing tacklers. In plays from serimmage
he has less opportunity for this and as
consequence his value to his team Is
greatly lowered when his eleven is
pitted against an opponent which al
lows him no opportunity to show at
his greatest advantage. This the out
side forward pass accomplished and it
was for this purpose that the new rule
was framed.
Under the rule as it now stands the
team which has been unable to make
its yards in three downs faces tho
problem of whether it takes Il chance
on a fleet back running tho BAD .
giving it over to its opponent at tbs
! spot where it then rests. Few team:
/ arc willing to do the latter, and as {
consequence this season the Importance
Of the punter is enhanced to re
markable degree, even to n greater de
gree than he has been at any TIM
In the history Of the modern game.
Distance is not the only thing TO
which the modern punter must strive
accuracy is at a greater premium thai
ever before. The man who can pun
80 yards, but cannot tell the exac
spot to which the ball is going, is no
half as valuable to his team as tn
man who can get off boots of 80 yard
and place them wherever he chooses 0
wherever the field captain orders then
The man who can kick the ball out o
bounds So or 40 yards beyond the lin
of serimmage is the man to be value
this year, not the one who can kic
