RESULTS FROM CLUB
Athletics Are Improving and May
Better Teams Standing.

Though deep down in the second
division, Connie Mack's Athletics are
beginning to show some stunts that
promise to bear out the Philadelphia
leaders threat of a couple OF years
ago to produce a baseball club in 1917.
\ look back over the performances
of the Athletics today gives evidence
of some startling happenings in the
Ban johnson second division. Since
June - the Athletics, laughed at and
derided. have won 10 games and lost
8. Tearing into the favored White
Sox in a series beginning July s, the
MaCkmen took three out of four
games. Since leaving Chicago they
have taken two games from the
Browns.
Just a year ago. when July 10 ar
rived the Athletics were a hopeless
last; they had won 10 games and had
dropped q. This year the Athletics
have already accumulated 20 victories
10 more than a year agO-and have
lost SIS fewer than year ago
Likewise. their percentage lacks only
a few points OF being .2OO better than
a year ago.
Connie MaCk's team hasn't yet en-
tered the fight for a pennant. but
things are picking up in Philadelphia.

teurs and professionals can compete
against each other in ali military
sports. This rule will prevail only as
long as the war lasts. a number of
big meets under this new arrange
ment have already taken place, and
they attract enormous crowds Of spec
tatOrs.
Followers Of athletics here think the
policy of throwing down the bars to
the pros during the war would be
good policy on the part OF the A. A.

out the fact that such a move is un-
necessary, as at the present time there
are no crack professionals in the
