CONNIE MACK TO
TAKE SO PLAYERS
ON TRAINING TRIP

New York, Jan. 22=While most
managers are trying to win a player
or two out of Sinc1air's grabbing, Con-
ME Mack has one which makes Sim
clair's look like thirty cents. Connie
now has at his disposal one of the
greatest collections of small minor
leaguers, senQf-pros, farm hands, back
letters and eoI1egfans ever collected.
The astute Mr.. McGillicuddy predicts
that by midseason this bunch will get
going and then the other. clubs must
look out.
Connie has not quite decided on the
personnel of his training squad, but
said it will include eighteen pitchers,
five catchers, ten infie1ders and six
outfielders. Evidently the Athletic
club is not entirely broke, as those
bushers sure can eat.
Ira Thomas will again take charge
of Mack's pitching departm emit, and
from the eighteen pitching ecandi-
dates it will be Ira's task to find a
pitching staff, though Wyckoff, Bush
and Bressler will likely do the bulk
of the Mack pitching, as Connie ex-
poets all those boys to develop into
stars.
OF the other players the only ones
sure Of their Jobs are Stufy McInnis,
the star first baseman; Amos Strunk,
the fleet outf1elder, and WalIie Schang,
who will again return to catching next
season.
AS the turn of the schedule wheel
will likely bring the job-1ot Athletics
here for the opening day, Bill DON
ovan should make good start next
spring.

PROVIDES
CHEAPER SlTTINGS
FOR BOSTON FAN

Boston, Jan. 22-Presfdent Joseph
J. Lannin of the Boston Red Sox is
planning some important changes at
Fenway park before the opening game
with New York on April -. For one
thing. he has decided to lower the
price of box seats from $3.50 to 81. He
said yesterday that he had considered
the matter for a long time and came
to the conclusion that 81 was enough
to pay to see a ball game in the regu-
lar season.
1.-THE boxes are close to the playing
field and naturally the spectators like
to occupy seats as near the front as
possible" he said, ''but the price is
evidently prohibittve. for the box seats
are seldom filled. I have decided,
therefore. to make the box seats and
the first rows back of the boxes 81
and the rest of the grandstand rs
cents.
81 thought the best time to make
the change was when we had a, special
attraction in a team that has just won
the championship of the world, and at
time a1so<when the American League
is especially strong as regards play
ing ability. The league will have
strong teams in st. LOUIS Chicago;
Detroit, New York, Washington and
Boston, and the Red Sox will have a
more difficult task this year
President Lann1n said that peace in
baseball and the assurance of all
around better conditions, was largely
responsible for his decision to reduce
the price of seats.
eve have" he said, more 25-cent
seats than any park in either league
and our 50-cent seats. especially back
Of third base, nave proven satisfac-
tory to the fans. think we will be
in good shape to take care of our
patrons at prices ranging from rs
cents to 81. We handled nearly 49,
600 at one game with the Tigers last
fall, showing that we have room
enough. BY the way, that was a re-
rnarkab1e series We had with the
Tigers.''
The boxes, Mr.. Lannin says, are to
be made more accessible. New ais1es
will be built from the promenade walk.

LES DARCY MAY
DESERT AUSTRALIA
TO ESCAPE ARMY


According4to. Jack sKearns, the Cali
fornian, who claims. to have a two
year contract with Darcy, the latter is
likely to slip aboard a boat for Amer
lea some fine day without stopping
/ TO say good bye. Kearns declares that
Darcy has no mind to serve in the
trenches now that he has the OPP
portunity to pick up fortune in the
ring.
Kearns says that when it was an
noiRced that Darcy had made up his
mind to sail for America there was
a tremendous row and the papers took
the matter up to such good effect that
the military law was invoked to keep
Darcy and others at home. 1t was
pointed out that Carpenter, the
F,renchman, gave up everything to
light for his country. and that Darcy
should not be less ready. p
From all this it would appear that
; in the next few months the Austra1-
ian crack Is more likely to be found
fighting in the trenches than dis
putting the nfddleweight champion :
ship with either Gibbons or Ahearn.
/ 1t seems that the ownership Nof the
title In that division never will be
settled.

Players Josh Umpire
Taken To Big Hotel
BY Porter's Mistake
(Sporting News.)

They are telling this story on a
well-known major league umpire, who
did his spring training in the South
last year. Arriving at one of the
Florida towns where he was to UNI
pire that afternoon, he was greeted
by a dusky co1ored porter who greet
ed him thusly: -
1.-THE Empire, Sah,' The official
smiled at the thought that his fame
had spread to the remote South He
allowed the porter to take his grips
and led him to a pretty fair-1ool1ing
automobile. The players were forced
to ride to their hotel in bus. The
umpire smiled at the conditions.
After a 10 or Commute ride. the
automobile pulled up at a hotel a con-
siderable distance from the city,
known as the Empire 1t was not I'M
til the weu-known umpire registered
that he learned of the mistake. Ac-
Communications had been arranged for
him at another hotel. Instead of get
ting a free ride in a c1assy-1ooking
auto and having the laugh on the
players, the laugh was on him, for it
cost him an even dollar to get some
one to take him back ITO the proper
hotel.
Some of the players got lot of
fun last summer reminding the official
of the happening every time he in
sisted that he never made mistake,
on or off the ball field.
