MACK'S STARS
CONTINUE TO

BY HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Although in
Philadelphia only few members of the
faomus old Mack.an machine still are
working fo@ Connie Mack, none of the
lustre has faded from the ma jority of
the players who took part in the Won
derful playing Of the Athletics.
In nearly every club which finished
well up among the leaders in the big
league races just finished there are
one or two former white elephants
who were cast adrift or sold by Mack
when he began the dismemberment of
the club.
/ Among members of the champion
Fed Sox are Jack Barry, who played
shortstop in the 100000 infield; Herb
Pennock, pitcher, Weldon Wyckcff,
pitcher, and Jimmy Walsh, outfielder.
The Dodgers, champions OF the NJ
tional League, also have a former
Athletic star in Jack Combs, the most
remarkable comeback, it seems Of all
times.
With the White Sox are Eddie Mur-
ply, Jack Lapp and Eddie Collins, all
of whom were noted members Of the
Philadelphia juggernaut team.
Frank Baker and Rube Oldring took
part in the fine race made by the
Yankees, and Bob Shawkey was the
most consistent winning pitcher of
the New Workers.
Eddie Plank, victor in many world
series battle, went through a success
full season with the Browns.
In Philadelphia, but of the Nation
al League club, another members Of
the former "invincible' VIII te Elc-
rtrnts did duty. Chief Bender, after
trip to the Feds, went back to the
city of his first love and worked the
season for Pat Moran's Phillies.
The Braves hold in their tepee nc
members Of the famous team on which
they put their trade mark in four
straight games two years ago.
But in the two leading teams Of both
National and American leagues former
Mack Stars played big part in keep
ing them in the race until late in the
season. Bender's assistance to the
Phillies was of the silent kind, but
his work was good at times and his
advice was admitted by Moran to be
worth while at more than one point
in tho race.

A Day of Strengthening.

Memorial day should be sacred to
the memory of every patriot who has
served his country and has passed be-
yond. With such a significance as that
for the day it ought to be possible to
save it from extinction and make it
n of the great moral strengthening
days Of the national year.
And ever beyond that we might go
and give the day added moral strength.
1t might be finally c~rystallized into a
day of remembrance of the dead of
the nation without regard to vars.
The mother might remember her blue
eyed girl, the lover his dead sweetheart
and the young man his honored father.
1t would be a day of sacred memo
ries, of strength giving associations. 1t
would then hold an intense personality
for everybody.

New York at
Gettysburg

OF the dead at Gettysburg, greatest
battle of the civil war, that were iden-
titled and buried in the National GENE
terry over one-third were New York
soldiers. OF the wounded officers and
men New York had nearly one-third,
and In the total losses, including pris-
oners, the same proportion is to the
credit of New York. All of the New
York troops on the field were not
brought into the bloodiest encounters,
but in the ranks that were holly en-
gagged the Empire State had a large
quota. In the National cemetery there
are 867 New York graves, the highest
record of any state. The three highest
following are Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and Michigan, and the dead of
the three together number 86S.
Among the killed were Brigadier Gen
eral Samuel X. Zook of Hancock's Sec
ond corps and Brigadier General Ste
phen H. Weed.
Six New York generals were wound
ed at Gettysburg. Major General Dan
lei E. Sickles, in command of the tenn
porary left wing on the second day,
suffered amputation of a leg from a
wound received on the extreme front
in a fight which cost the Confederate
leader, General Barksdale, his life, and
General Hood was wounded. Major
General Daniel Butterfield was wound
ed while acting as Meade's chief of
staff. Brigadier General Francis C.
Barlow, commanding a division, was
shot down in combat with Early's divi-
sion of Ewell's corps On the first day
north of the town. Brigadier General
Charles X. Graham was wounded by the
side of Sickles on the second day in the
contest along the Emmitsburg road
and fell into the enemy's hands. Brig
adler General Alexander S. Webb, com
handing the Philadelphia brigade in
Hancock's Second corps, was wounded,
as was Brigadier General G. X. War
rem, chief engineer.
Nine New York commanders of bri-
gades, regiments and batteries were
killed.

Length, four and three-fourths
inches. The only one of our wrens
with wholly whitish underparts that
lacks a light line owe the eye.
Range: Breeds throughout the Unit
ed States Except the South Atlantic
and Gulf States) and southern Can
ada; winters in the southern United
States and Mexico.
Habits and economic status: The
rich, bubbling song Of the familiar
little house wren is one of the sweet
est associations connected with coun-
try and suburban life. Its tiny body,
long bill, sharp eyes, and strong feet
peculiarly adapt it for creeping into
all sorts of hooks and %crannies where
Turk the insects it feeds on. A cavity
in a fence post, a hole in a tree, or a
box will be welcomed alike by this
~busybody as a nesting site; but since
the advent of the quarrelsome Eng
fish sparrow such domiciles are at a
premium and the wren's eggs and
family are safe only in cavities having
entrances too small to admit the spar
row Hence 1t behooves the farmers
boy to provide boxes the entrances
to which are about an inch in diameter,
mailing these under gables of barns
and outhouses or in orchard trees.
In this way the numbers of this useful
bird can be increased, greatly to the
advantage Of the farmer. Grasshop-
pers, beetles, caterpillars, bugs, and
spiders are the principal elements of
its food. Cutworms, weevils, ticks, and
plant lice are among the injurious
forms eaten. The nestlings of house
wrens consume great quantities of in.
sects.
