MACk'S EFFORTS ARE
NOW GAININGRESPECT
Connie Is Speedily Building Up Ball
Club to Give Others Battle.

New York, July 2S.-More and more
the efforts of Connie Mack, silent
leader Of the Athletics, are gaining
respect among the big leaguers. The
prediction made by himself when he
began to whittle of the stars with
which he had won several world
championships, that he would be back
in the race by 1917 has not been real
lied, but he has succeeded in making
the name Philadelphia once more one
to be feared In the American League.
Discussing Mack and his newly made
team recently. Bill Donovan said that
he would rather play almost any club
in the league than send his men into
a contest against the Mackmen.
They won't win any penn3nts this
year." Donovan commented, but
they're going to fight mighty hard
for every game they go into From
this time on they're going TO Improve.
I'm a mighty mistaken student of this
national pastime II the Athletics arc
not found kicking considerable dust
around before the end Of the 1918
campaign gets here"
Donovan figures-and so docs every
other baseball manager who has had
a glimpse of him-that Ray Bates is
one Of the finest players in many a
day He also believes Witt the equal
of any shortstop in the American
League with the possible exception of
Roger Peckinpaugh, his own short
fielder. Second base is a problem, hut
McInnis is fully the equal. perhaps
the superior, of any man doing first
base duty.
There isn't thing wrong with that
outfield of Connie Mack's," Donovan
ruefully remarked. Il only wish l
had a pair of those birds working for
me. I might have a chance to win a
pennant before he makes the going so
rough"
Where Is the manager who would
not like to have Bush, Myers and
Noyes pitching for him, and where,
oh, where, can you find a big Lacquer
who wouldn't spend several thousand
dollars for Wallie Schang.
The foundation has been built for
another fine baseball team in Phila-
delphia. Managers and baseball men
everywhere believe it is due.

Benny LEONARD IS.
sure HE WILL WIN
New York Lightweight Champion
Confident He Will Trim Kilbane.

New York, July 23-'T realize that
have much to lose and comparatively
little to gain when I box Johnny Kill
bane at Philadelphia, Wednesday
night" said Benny Leonard, but
do not agree with those who say that
I have nothing to gain. I recognize
in Kilbane one OF the leading conten-
ders for the lightweight champion
ship. If I knock him out that will
prove conclusively that am a real
champion.
mo one has succeeded in knocking
Kilbane out yet-that is, not since
Johnny has jumped into prominence
and he has fought many Of the best
in the feather and lightweight ranks.
1 aspire to turn that trick. and think
I'll be able to do it. Kilbane is a
clever boxer, but I am Just as clever
as he is. and ! am OF the opinion that
1 can hit harder and quicker than Kill
bane can.
There are some who contend that
six rounds Is too short a distance for
a decisive victory for either of Us.
Again I disagree with them. The fact
that the bout is to last but six rounds
at the outside will enable both Kilbane
and myself to box faster from the
start, and when two boxers are work.
ing at top speed the chances are more
in favor OF their leaving openings.
They are not as likely to be as care
full as they would be in a longer bout.
when they would box more slowly and
exercise greater care.
'T feel confident that I will win by
a knockout. It will be a big feather
in my cap. And I'm out ~ I'LL my
cap with feathers"

Not Close Major Indians Play
NATIONALS WILL BATTLE
INDIANS AT PARK TODAY

Because Of poor train con-
nections between this city and
st. Louis. Clark Griffith and his
Washington ball club were left
stranded somewhere in America
yesterday Afternoon, en- route
to the Capital. The best infor-
nation handed out at a late hour
last night claims that the Griff-
men viii arrive here this morn
ing at 8 o'clock as they were
compelled to lay over In Pitts
burgh for ten hours.
The Cleveland Indians. who are
creating quite a furore In the
Ban B. johnson circuit. are slated
to play the Nationals at League
Park today at $50 p. m. The tribe
will arrive here this morning at
the same hour.
The pitching selections could not
be learned last night, but Du Mont
will, no doubt, serve them up for
the locals, while Bagby or Cove
leskie will probably be the choice
for the Indians.

GIBBONS STANDS in
CLASS By HIMSELF
Middle-weisht Champion of the
World Has No Equal in Ring.

New York. July 3.-Mike Gibbons,
middle-weight, has reached virtually
the same stage Of operations where
Johnny Kilbane stands.
These two masters OF their art are
practically out OF someone TO f~ht.
For lack Of feather-weights Of rs.
Kilbane is being forced to tai S6n
the light-weights. Gibbons. oil of
classy middle-weights, is forced to
just sit around. for there really are
few light heavies who look attract
i've when compared to Mike.
Mikes inaction, however, Is far from
pleasing to the fistic public. Although
recognizing the fast that Gibbons
stands out over the many would-be
rivals. the fans would like to see
the ST. Paul ghost take one more
fling at the topnotchers. Jimmy Clab-
by is still far from being classed
among the has-beens and Jeff Smith
insists he can and always could whip
Mike.
However. the same insistent cries
for attention from Gibbons are COM
ing Just now from Soldier Bartfield,
Ted Lewis and Mike Dowd.
Lewis. a welter-weight, has given
Gibbons one tough argument, and
Barttield holds a newspaper decision
over the man generally recognized as
the king of the middle-weights. Dowd
is a graduate OF the Gibbons school
and Is recognized as one of the best
men the welter-weight division has
seen in many days.
Any one OF this trio OF weIters
would give Mike an arguments hot
one. And then, IL he could induce Al
Mccoy to get into a ring with him
there would be another bout Of more
or less possibilities. Al is not a cham
pion and never has been, but he man
ages to hang on to what little claim
he has to the title. Until he is sound
ly thrashed by Gibbons or someone
else he will lay claims to the cham
pionship and some folks will believe
him.
A revival of interest in the middle
weights is needed. In the days Of
Stanley Ketchel this was the most
popular Of weights. 1t has begun to
run down only since Gibbons whipped
the best men in the division and be-
gan 10 spend his time clipping cou-
pons.
Mike spent most of last winter in
New York trying TO drive Les Darcy
into a match. The Australian was
absolutely unimpressable on the SUBJ
ject. 1t meant a clear title to q
worlds championship for either him
or Gibbons, but Darcy blocked every
move.

BALL PARKS NOT TO
BE CLOSED BY DRAFT
Pooling of Older Players viii En-
able Major Leagues to Com
plete Schedule.

Although quite a few baseball play
ers In the National and American
Leagues are sure to be called in the
draft for the first army OF $1,000 men
and heavy blow viii thus be dealt
the majors, 1t viii not be a knockout.
II viii not be serious enough to force
either or both the National and AIneri-
can Leagues to cancel the remaining
games on their schedules and close
the baseball parks.
There Is no way at this time of de-
termining just how many big players
will be taken into the army. Official
figures are aot yet available at the
headquarters OF the National League.
or the executive Offices Of the Ameri-
can League. But It Is a known fact
that enough ball players in the two
big leagues are over the age limit OF
81 years to insure the different teams
finishing this season at least.
It may be necessary to distribute
some Of these older players among
some OF the teams whose ranks will
be so depleted that otherwise they
would be unable to put a complete
team afield- In such a contingency
there will not be any hesitancy in
50 juggling the players around.
In such an emergency there would be
no chance to raise the time worn hue
and cry Of syndicate baseball. The
players will be so distributed as to
merely enable the clubs with thous-
ands Of dollars invested in baseball to
protect their investments for the re-
mainder Of the year.
Most Of the big league clubs are now
81 M M
PLAYERS. 1t Is true that the majority
Of the extra players are pitchers and
catchers, but in a pinch there are
pitchers who could be employed in the
out and intields and the same with
some Of the catcheTs.
In but few instances will the club
be so weakened that they will be I'M
able to put teams afeld. To protect
these clubs 1t will be necessary to pool
any surplus players there are on the
other teams and distribute them among
the clubs so weakened.
This distribution will be accomplish
ed by drawing the names Of the play
ers in much the same way that the
biggest Of all lotteries was recently
conducted in Washington. OF course
1t will not be necessary to have so
elaborate a scheme, but the principle
VIII be the same.
In this way no favorites VIII be
played. The clubs will get whatever
PLAYERS Dame Fortune awards them
1t will all be a matter Of chance.
There will be no chance for any cluo
or clubs to pick through the available
players and select the best
Players distributed in this way would
not become the permanent property OF
the clubs to which they were assign,
ed. They merely would be loaned until
such time in the future as the cluD
would he able to rebuild its roster and
return the borrowed players
