CONNIE MACK MADE MISTAKE TRYING TO GET
 TEAM OF COLLEGE BOYS

President Hedges of the Browns once tried to rebuild his major league baseball club with Texas League tal- ent Almost all third-rate organiza- ton. He failed. One naturally fails when he tries to reinforce steel with Btraw. Aps'H s.f.'i-
 Connie Mack, on the surface at least. appears to be making a similar mistake, writes Ed wray in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. He is trying to construct q major league edifice out of college clay. And 1t can't be done. The material is only half-baked and not 0Alculated to stand up.
 Hers and there a .collegian comes through; but a team of picked college stars isn't even wee bit stronger than the best college team. And the best coileee team isn't even a good class B club.
 Today, and not counting some of the hangover college stars who are in Comics stable. no less than nine rah- rah experts are with the Mackmcn.
 By drag-netting. the country and securing the underorush faithfully, a major league club considers itself who are of genuine major league class
 How then can Mack hope to find real players in the colleges, which turn out men not nearly as far advanced in the game as the good secondary league clubs?
 Dilutins major league talent with college material seems the long road to strengthen 1t.

PENNINGTON OF :
 LAWRENCE TO <
 JOIN PITTSBURG

New York. Aug. s.-George Pen- nington, formerly of the Commercial High school of Brooklyn, is about ready for another major league trial. according to Eastern League critics. Pennington, who is with the Lawrence club, has participated in twenty-four games, winning thirteen and losing ten. He has struck out ninety-nine batsmen and allowed sixty bases on balls.
 Scouts representing both Bosrsn clubs and the Pirates have been look ing George over, and the timber combers were favorably impressed by his work. The Pittsburgh team ap- pears to have the best chance of land ing the Brooklyn boy and it would not be surprising to see him join Cal lahans crew before the Corsairs leave Boston. Pennington, who is 21 years of age, went south with the Superbas in 1913.

YANKEES EMERGE FROM SLUMP AND
 BEAT CLEVELAND

Cleveland, Aug. 8-C1ean, crisp hitting when needed and fielding which was always steady and some times swift stood the Yankees in good stead yesterday and they won an- other ball game. They beat the In- dians by to 9, and if they do noth ing else here they have shattered To- cal visions of four games straight and an advance in the pennant race.
 Having regained some confidence by the victory over the Tigers Sunday, the Yankees played their best game on this trip in suppressing the In- dians. Their display was of all- around excellence. The combined hitting and base running of Peckin- paugh were pertinent factors. Peck made three hits, two runs and stole two bases. Two of his hits counted heavily. This is his home town. so it was fitting that he be devil in it.
 Hoffman. Oldring and Fisher four ished the hickory in support of Peck in a way that counted the batwork of these four being responsible for all of the New York tallies. The hit ting was just timely enough to carry victory with it. There was a tinge of weak, fielding by Chapman, and that, too, counted; but the Tanks sur' rounded tn ethird baseman's slip with base hits.
 As pitcher Fisher did well for three innings, not allowing a hit. but was punished in the next three. Seven of the eight Cleveland bingles came in those next three innings, but Fish CT weathered trouble with nothing worse than tied score, being helped in the Weathering by beautiful throw to the plate by Elmer Miller, which cut of a run. But for this fine performance Fisher and his Yam kees would have fared Hess happily, for it severed a rally in twain. Shaw key relieved Fisher and did the pitch ing in the last three innings, and a. singl ein the ninth, with two out. was all the Indians could do.

GEORGE CONSIDINE OF SPORTING FAME
 EXPIRES SUDDENLY

New York, Aug. 8.--Geprge F. Con- sidine, one of the best known sport ing men in the United States, died in New York yesterday while undergoing an operation for mastoiditis.
 While he was the proprietor of the Metropole hotel, at Forty-seeond street and Broadway, he made friends with citizens in all walks of life, who now mourn his loss. Considine and his three brothers-Johp, James and William were born in Detroit, Mich. George became interested in the sporting game more tha< twenty-five years ago, and it wal 1tIe running a hotel in Detroit th1t ile met the late Timothy D. Sullivan.
 Considine soon craved the excite ment of the prize ring, and he as- stunned the management of James J. Corbett, who having lost the heavy weight title to Fitzimn1ons, was anxi- ous' to recover the championship. It was through Considine's perseverance, that Corbett got the memorable fight with James J. Jeffries at Coney Island on May Il, 1900.
 Considine mapped out Corbett's plan of action before the men entered the ring. He prevailed upon Corbett to fight Jeffries at long range. Corbett, with his wonderful quickness of foot and rapidfire jabs, had a pronounced advantage on points at the end of the twenty-second round. but followers of Jeffries had been ridiculing Corbett to such an extent that "Gentleman Jim," losing his temper, told Consi- dine during the minutes rest that he wanted mix it up" with the boiler maker.
 During the minutes rest Considine begged Corbett to keep cool and con- tinue his long range boxing He told Corbett that he would surely win the championship back on points, as Ref cree Charley White could not decide against him. But n~bett, forgetting all about Considine when the twenty third round started. threw science to the winds and tried to, slug with the champion. Jeffries landed enc left hook on the point of Corbett's jaw and scored a clean knockout.

FEAR JOHNNY EVERS a HAS NEURITIS AGAIN
 AND MUST TAKE REST

Boston. Aug. 8-Johnny Evers has, it is feared, case of neuritis A phy- sician who was called found rather pronounced symptoms. He is suffer- ing considerable pain in his neck on the left side, which extends down his left arm to his finger tips
 Johnny has had trouble with his neck for three years, and whenever he catches cold it seems to settle there, He has had little sleep in the past three nights, and the physician says he should take at least a week s rest.
 Evers has been working on his nerve tor the last three or four years and the hot weather takes a particu- larly hard grip on him. A year ago this time he was suffering from ncr- vous exhaustion and a short rest did him a lot of good. Perhaps a lay off for week or so would have a simi- lar effect now.

TO SEEK REVENGE
 ON WILLIAMS s

New York, Aug. S-William M. Johnston, the national lawn tennis champion, made his start'toward talk ing revenge upon R. Norris Williams 2d, the cup holder, in the challenge match of the annual tournament on the historic turf of the Sea Bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, Sea Bright, N. J., yesterday. The draw of 32 competitors in the Achelis Cup singles foreshadows great clashes be- tween the East and the West in the finals. for R. LindIey Murray and Karl H. Behr star in the lower divis- ion, while George M. Church is in the top section with Johnston.
 They were all in action yesterday and with the exception of Behr won in straight sets. Johnston tuned up his back court strokes against the youthful Arthur Coffey to win at G. 8, 6-2. He was able to score games almost at will, as the point total for the match stood at 66 to AZ.

 money that the Browns will finish fourth or better. In anotheg year Davey Robertson of the Giants will outbat everybody.
 The Cubs are getting high class pitching from Vaughn. Lavender. Hen drix, Packard and Prendergast, but they are weak at the bat. Cy Williams, Schulte. Archer and Zimmerman are badly missed by the Cubs. If it wasn't for Tinker's pitcn- ing staff the Cubs would be fighting it out with the Reds for last place. Since losing Herzog the Reds have become hopeless tailenders. Mean while the Giants, imbued with Her. zog's fighting spirit, have won nine out of their last twelve games at home.
 Why not permit Stallings and Evers to Umpire all the games at Braves Field? ts Alexander was the first major lea. gue pitcher to win twenty games. The Brittons finally have decided to sell no more Cardinals. They have turned down handsome offers for Hornsby and Snyder.

Folwell at Franklin field last night to Ben Derr out in North Da- kota, Howard Berry on the Mexican border and about "A other University of Pennsylvania athletes to report at Langhorne, Pa., on September II for preliminary football practice.

 From the spectators standpoint, Manager Charles H. Lovett of the football team announced last night that every box taken last year had been renewed before July 4, and that he had been forced to cancel many requests for boxes.

GIANTS GET ONLY
 THREE SAFE HITS
 BUT TRIM CHICAGO

New York, Aug. 8-Hans Lobert "pinch hitted" the Giants to a to victory over the Chicago Cubs at the Polo Grounds, yesterday, making it three out of four for the McGraw clan.
 Lobert was rushed to the rescue in the fifth inning, being sent in to bat for Ferdie Schupp when the bases were filled. Hans smashed a dou- ble over third, sending in three runs.
 Lobert's hit was the third made off Lavender, who only few days ago triumphed over the Giants. In- cidently it was the third time that the Giants have won from the Cubs during the present series on three hits.
 In the opening game of the series Big Jim Vaughn pitched his best game of the season against the Giants, but the latter pulled out 1 to victory when Merkle drove the ball into the bleachers for a home run.
 Last Saturday Hendrix held the Giants to three scattered hits. but was deprived of victory through bad support when Giants got on the bases.
 Up to the time that Lobert deliv- cred the crucial blow it was a real baseball game, crowded with good pitching and at times sensational fielding. The Cubs secured one run lead in the third round by bunch ing a single and a double off Schupp, which. coupled with a sacrifice fly, produced a tally.
 With the exception of the third, Schupp, who was starting for the first time in several weeks, was de- livering a brand of twirling that the Giants long have been in need of. The young left-hander had everything and had a way of tightening up when the enemy threatened.

 John McGraw took a strange time to spring that retirement stuff. That would make better publicity material in the winter when the faithful fans are eager for news.
 The boxing promoters are already talking about staging bout in this city fin October. Hugh Ross, who re- gently fought Al Mccoy here, and Young Ahearn, middleweight cham pion of England, are mentioned for the star bout.
 Owner Lannin of the Boston Red Sox is getting the fighting spirit him. self since his club got in the race for the Dennant. Speaking of Thomas fight in St. Louis. Lannin said: Had Thomas not gone after Austin and fought back I would have fined him for his lack of aggressiveness." Both Thomas and Austin have been indefi- nitely suspended by President Johnson of the American League. Thomas said something to Austin in St. Louis last Sunday and Austin tore off Thomas mask and took a punch at the Red Sox backstop.
 Fuller of Lawrence is another Eastern League twirler who is apt to go to the big show at the close of this season. He won his fifth straight yesterday when he blanked New Lon- don.
 Manager Mathewson of Cincinnati is making efforts to strengthen his pitching staff. He has recalled Pitcher Stanley Dougan from Sal. Lake City of the Coast League where the youngster has won two-thirds of his games.
 Perhaps the losing streak of the Red Sox on the western trip is due to that wrist watch recently present. ~d to Manager Carrigan by Toronto Fans.

One of the best scouts in the country is Tom Connery, the former Hartford manager, who now tours the country for the St. Louns Nationals. Since he was signed by Manager Huggins Con- nery has dug up some crack players and the peculiar part of it is that all were obtained at low prices.
 Roger Hornsby, the wonderful youngster who has been setting the National league afire, was discovered by Connery in the Western associa- ton, little league in Texas and Okla homa. He cost only $500, but since the season started he has been hitting over 300. Other major league clubs have made big offers for Hornsby, the Brooklyns recently bidding $20,OO0 ir addition to two players.
 Other players found by Connery arc Lee Meadows, the spectacled pitcher, and Williams, another good hurler; Outfielder Long, one of the best batters in the league; Infelder Betzel and Pitcher Watson, who beat Alexander last Saturday. Connery is a fine fel- low personally and the fans are all glad to see him succeed,
 The Chicago White Sox are deter mined to increase their lead while they are at home for they are bound to slump during their Eastern trip. They gained little ground yesterday by beating the Rex Sox in the first game of the crucial series.
 Manager Healy of the Bridgeport club is keeping the wires busy trying to land pitcher. He expects to have one before the end of the week. There is possibility he may make a trade with Hartford.
 The Bridgeport club went to Hart ford today for a two-game series and will return here Thursday to play the Senators. It will be ladies' day and feminine rooters will be admitted free to grounds as well as grand stand.
