MACK HOPES TO
BUILD AROUND
FOUR VETERANS
McInnis, Strunk, Schang and
Bush Will Make Up
Foundation

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-It is some
thing more than two years now since
Connie Mack began to execute his plan
of tearing apart one of the greatest
baseball matchines the game has ever
known.
About two years since Connie cut
loose from Jack Coombs, Eddie PLANK
Chief Bender, Eddie Collins and Jack
Barry. Straightway he began anew
his process of rskiEg the brush 1or
new winning combination. At the time
he said a period of two years would
sufsce TO nut him back in the race.
A few days ago he outlined ms hopee3
for the coming season. HIS new new, OuI-.
as named in this statement Will shvN
one remnant in each of the four &C.
nartrnents of play held over from the
old regime. Wally Schang, Joe bush'
Stuffv McInnis and Amos Strunk are
the four selected around which 20
build the new machine.
If Mack decides TO dispose OF BUSH
and Schang his plans may not WORK OUT
so well. Together with Schang viii De
carried Myers and Picinich TO handle
the work back OF the plate.
Joe Bush, Jack Majors, Elmer Meyers
and Russell Johnson are regarded as
four regulars for the pitching staff In
addition there are some half dozen
others, including the famous Rupe
Schauer, TO furnish the extra talent
For his infield Mack will retain NC,
Innis at first, Grover at second ana
witt at short. Bates, at third, Will
complete the inner defence. Stuhy, OF
course, is a known quantity. VIII
played through last season. Grover
and Bates are new hands, though the
former played a while with the CLUB
last season. Bates is placed chiefly on
his strong recommendations as & minor
Lacquer, together with inside reports
from Mack's scouts.
In the outfeld Strunk will be sided
by Ping Bodie, of White Sox fame, AND
Frank Thrasher, recruit from the
Southern league. Mack believes that
Bodie can deliver the goods, despite his
former failure with the Sox. Thrasher
comes along with a record of never
having hit below 800 in any league.
he hit better than 800 for Atlanta last
season.

4 Needed Traffic Reaulation

We are not sure whether city traffic regula ons forbid the passing of vehicles street ntersec tions, but if there is such regulation it is violated by many drivers, and if there is such regulation should be made and rigidly enforced. To take and pass vehicle crossing is thoughtess thing do. and it is the frequent of accidents. Such regulation should be enforced country roads well.
 A driver approaching a street crossing is required do so and should indicate his intention turning to the left by extending his hand in that direction. While that may give to a driver behind him notice of his intention it is meant primarily a warning to drivers approaching from the opposite direction those approaching the right and of pedestrians about the street into which the driver proposes turn.
 The sign is frequently not observed by driver approaching from the and the regulations should regard it warning him. The intersection should be his warning not attempt to pass at that point.
