Mack's Methods in Rebuilding
Athletics Are Having Results

For two years now baseball fans haSe
been having a hilarious laugh at the
expense of Connie Mack, manager Of
the Athletics. But now the laugh is be-
ing turned 10 admiration, for the old
Fox's methods Of building baseball clubs
are beginning TO bear fruit. When
Mack broke up his wonderful team at
the close of the 1914 season, after the
Braves had given them a beating in
the worlds series, Mack predicted that
he would have new baseball club
ready to fight for ball games by 1917.
He gave himself two seasons in which
to rebuild the grand machine he had
wrecked.
And the elongated managers claims
are beginning to be realized. Already
he has assembled the main players who
will make mp the 1917 team with which
he hopes TO pull out Of the cellar.
Three men have been purchased to
help out the green players who have
been learning the game under Mack =
guidance. Ping Bodie, once with the
White Sox, but more recently with the
San Francisco Pacific Coast League
club, is the most prominent Of the
trio Outfielder Thrasher, Of the South
Atlantic League, il another, and Mack
has picked up a third bdseman named
Bates, also from the coast The latter
is said to be the best third baseman
in the minors.
Mack has great confidence In the abil.
ity Of his two new outielders He de-.
clares Bodie was not properly handled
in Chicago lie charges Jimmy Gala
han with riding the fence buster instead
of helping him along at critical mo-
ments. His own methods, he believes.

Alterations in the football rules for
1916 are very negligible in the bearing
they will have on the system OF play
that must be adopted by the coaches.
What few changes we're recorded by
the rules committee we're made rather
for the purpose OF clearing up debat-
able points than in any way to alter
the style or characteristics OF the
play. because the committee felt that
the game was now in a well-balanced
condition.
A set Of approved ground rules has
been added to the list OF regulations,
and they are the same as those which
prevail In most OF the enclosures for
the big game and provide proper rul-
ings for a ball going into the crowd
behind the goal. OF into the stands, or
crossing tho side line and going into

ever may be altered by consent of the

90 the commencement of play.
These approved ground rules follow
A kickoff OF free kick or any kicked
ball not scoring a goal. which crosses
the goal line and goes into the stand
or among the spectators. shall count
as a touchback.
A blocked kick. which. after being
blocked, crosses the klcker's goal line
and goes into the stand or among th'
spectators. shall count as a safety.
A ball passed backward across tho
goal line which goes into the stanc
or among the spectators, shall coun
as a safety.
A blocked kick which goes over Thu
side line fence or among the substi
tutes shall belong to the side blocklnl

In the infeld Mack has at least one
man who is rated high. And If Study
Mclnnis decides to retire or is turned
over to some other club, Mack still has
a first haseman in PoindeXter, a youth
who is doing well in learning points Of
the game.
Otis Lawry Is a brilliant collegian
who is expected 10 develop class as a
second basemRn.
IAwton Witt, who has been holding
down the shortstop job for Mack most
of the season, is regarded as a coming
star by many a big league manager
This youth has played with dazzling
brilliance, and has hit remarkably wei
for a youngster. II Is certain that he
at least, will fit into the place Mach
has picked for Kim.
Bates, regarded by Clark Griffith as
the seasons find, will be at third base.

League a few years ago, did not show

doubtful if TIE whole present outfit has

HOW TO BE SLIM

If you are too fat and want to re-
duce your weight Is or 20 pounds,
don't starve and weaken your sys-
TEN, or think you must always be
laughed at on account of your fat,
but 90 to Danforth's Rexall Store or
to any good druggist, and get a box
of Oil Of Korein capsules, take one
after each meal and one before retir-
ing at night.
Weigh yourself once a week and
note what pleasant and reliable
method this is for removing super
fuous fat from any part Of the body.
II costs little, is absolutely harm
less and a weeks trial should con-
vince anyone that it is unnecessary
TO be burdened with even a single

Great ATHLETES Will
Represent america
IN Events ABROAD

Probably the greatest quartet Of
athletes ever gathered together in the
United States for a trip to foreign
lands to show what they can do will
leave New York on Thursday on the
steamship Oscar II. They will visit
Denmark. Norway and Sweden and
will take part in competitive con-
tests in principal cities Of these coun-
tries.
The four are Robert Simpson, OF
the University Of Missouri, worlds
champion 120-yard hurdler; Fred S.
Murray, Of California, senior A. A. U.
champion 220-yard low hurdler: Ted
Meredith, former senior champion
quarter-miIer. and Joe Loomis. a star
hurdler and sprinter.
The first stop will be at Christiana.
October 70; Copenhagen the following
day. and the athletes will appear at a
special meet arranged in their honor
at Stockholm, October 81.
The four are the best all-around
athletes this country can offer. With
the exception OF Meredith. all are men
who can perform in high-class fash
ion, both on the track and In the field
Meredith is strictly a track man. A
special hurdle race undoubtedly will
be arranged at each of the meets, for
in Simpson, Murray and Loomis the
Europeans will have the opportunity
of seeing the words best blight takers.
Competition between Murray and
Simpson. especially. should prove
highly interesting.
Loomis. Murray and Simpson also
can be called upon to broad jump. for
each Of them has a mark of some
dignity. Each also can high jump. al
though there Is little probability that
| Simpson will be asked TO take part
in this event. Loomis and Murray are
shot-putters and should furnish some
lively competition for the Scandina-
VANS.
Meredith will display his we'll
known speed in the 440 and SS0-yard
events over the track, and with his
three mates will form a link in a
relay team which should be unbeat-
able. Each man will run 22O yards in
the relays
Since the war has forced an aban-
donment OF the Olympic games. the
athletes who will be sent to compete
in the Scandinavian games will give
the foreigners their only opportunity
to see the foremost American sprint
ers and field men.
The four men will leave for home

American shore November IS.
