PLEASED WITH
RQsHER FIND

CHICAGO, H.-President Comis-
key of the White Sox is highly pleas
ed over his ''busher find also over
his bargain with Connie Mack that
brought the worlds greatest infielder
to the south side clnb.
Jealousy over Rowland's habit of
out-maneuyering them was responsible
for the recent ridiculous signal tipping
yard spread over the country by some
of the club leaders, thinks the south
side magnate.
Thinks Rowland Is Resoureeful.
In Rowland, Comiskey thinks he has
the services OF one of the most re-
sourceful managers in the world of
baseball. Rowland was called a bush.
err when he broke into the select set
Of big leaguers, but Comiskey points
cut that one seldom hears the epithet
as applied to his find nowadays.
The fans have heard that Rowland
has won the hearts of his ball players,
that he has caused praise to be heap
cd upon him by writer's in many cities,
that he is good fellow with whom
to converse, that he is fifty-fifty split
leader, shares the troubles of his play
ers and knows inside baseball. These
same fans perhaps are bit curious
to know just what the man who dis
covered this find" in the bushes and
gave him to the big leagues thinks of
his leader now that more than two
months OF the championship season is
history. tie <sEt 49, 5000
.
Rowland Is an Ideal Pilot.
Following is Charles A. Comiskey's
answer tc the query: sWhat do you
think of Rowland as a major league
leader?"
There are several qualities that a
man needs most nowadays in the big
leagues, and all these seem to be min
gled in Clarence Rowland He has
the good sense and diplomacy to work
with his players and gain their best
effort He knows ball players abil-
ity about as well as any other manag
er in the business and It is doubtful
whether any one excels him in this
respect. He knows how to maneuyer
his men on the field in the heat OF
battle to get the best results. and it
takes man who knows baseball to do
that.
Rowland outguessed his opponents
and perhaps that's why they started
these stories about signal stealing.
You have to hand it to the feiiew who
can go out and get signals legitimate
ly and do it SO cleverly that he is ac-
cused of using a 'buzzer

Is CONNIE MACK
TRYING TO BUILD
AN Entire Team?
Efforts of Athletics Manager
Along These Lines Being
Closely Watched
(By Associated Press.j

NEW YORK, Ms Apparently
Connie Mack. manager of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, has at the age Of
SO undertaken the task OF building.
another pennant-winniEg team for
Shibe Park. Because of his record of
six American remnants and taree
worlds championships, this latest re-
construction work on the Athletics
baseball machine will, be watched with
unusual interest by the fans in all
parts of the country.
Following the ;our straight game
defeat administered to the Mackmen
by the Boston Braves in the Worlds
Series OF 1914 there were many re-
ports to the effect that the Athletic
combination would be broken up and
a new team formed. The sale OF Col
lins to the Chicago White Sox, Pen
mock to Boston and Shawkey to New
York, the release of Coombs, Bender
and Plank; the dropping, of Baker
from the payroll and the passing of
still other players to the minors in
dicates that the work is we'll under
way. :........ .- =. 4ts. -
Now rumor has it that still other
stars of yesteryear are to change
their Athletic uniform for those of
other American League clubs while
Mack will FIJI their places with prom
Using recruits from minor and coll
lege diamonds Grounds for these re-
ports are found in the signing of
Crowell, Healey, Haas. Sheeban and
johnson and the statements that
Mack has lines out for some prcmis-
ing material in southern and wsstern
circuits. ..--..... 81.
The ability of the veteran manager
to develop stars from youthful play
ers recruited from varsity and bush
fields is well known Plank, Collins,
Coombs and Barry all joined the Ath-
letics without the formality of minor
league experience while Baker, Me-
Innis, Bender, Strunk and several |
others served but a short period in
the minors before being gathered IL
by Mack. If he can repeat his pre-
vious record in this respect, in these
days of close baseball competition I
and fine-comb scouting. his position
as the greatest manager of baseball
history will be beyond dispute.

Advices from Austria-Hungary by
members OF the American Olympic
committee indicate that athletics and
sport generally are at standstill in
those eountries. Rifle shooting and
football, played by youths too young
to ubear arms, appear to be the only
forms of competition INDUCED in by
those not serving at the front.
Racing, track and field athletics,
swimming. fancy and competitive skat-
ing, skiing, tennis and cycling have
all been dropped for the time being
at least. Fencing and shooting have
ceased to be sports and are now re-
garded as serious business. The lat
ter has become very popular and rifle
ranges have sprung up everywhere.
Even before the war the government
began to encourage training In rifle
shooting In the schools and the war
office afforded special facilities in this
direction. The fencing schools are
still open but the best instructors have
gene 10 the front although there are
plenty of pupils chiefly young officers.
