FEDS BLEW UP TOO SOON
 AND FOOLED MACK.
Connie Admits That He Blundered-
 MiscaicuIated on Life of Rebels.

Connie Mack is as stoicaI as the cigar Indian that still flourisheS in the small towns of the middle west, says Fred Van Ness. It is only once in a. blue moon that he unbelts and dis cusses his business affairs But aC- cording to intimatioDS he has recently made to some of his friends he re-
 gards the year of 1916 as the year of
 his big mistake and planes it to the
 death of the Federal league, which he
 did not foresee.
 Although he is regarded as one of
 the smarteSt men in baseball Mack
 admits that ne blundered in his calcu-
 lations on the life of the Feds. He has
 apparently been caught off his mana SerIdl base, through his lack of fore
 sight, as far as any base runner who ever fell for the hidden ball trick. The tall leader of the Mackmen dis played a ball club against the Yankees at the Polo Grounds recently that was not as bad as it had been painted. It l Is but a mere shadow of the one-time l championship club that played under hls banner, being for the most part made up of young players. Under the tutelage of an astute manager it will probably develop into quite a ball club Before the end of this season, but at present it figures to run wild in the second division, and therein lies the point of the story
 It is well known that Connie
 wrecked his ball club for certain req sons, for which he justified his action But it is equally as well known that l ne never intended to be caught in a | good season with a bad ball club. He | expected to build another team, and | i1 fact, started out to do so from the 1 day the wrecking began.
 He knew that it would take at least l two years to build up a club that could | hght for a pennant, and it is said now 1 that he expected to accomplish that by i the time the Federal league passed 1 away. But like many other men ir l baseball he did not realize that the 1 Feds were on such shaky ground ant 1 that they would go out of business as ] soon as they did. He expected then 1 to last year more, when he would have a ball club he could count on tC
 do something.
 Like most other men in baseball h, 1 realized that there would be a return l of interest in baseball as soon as tho | Feds died out, and the baseball Wal was over, and he planned to be ready
 oy that time to take advantage of thI | new interest. But the sudden subrnis. sion of the Feds last winter left hin 1 with ball club but partly developeC
 and not ready to fight for a pennant o1
 excite the interest which would hay
 made him strong again in Philadel phia.
