Resolutions fixing definite weight
limit FOR the Individual members OF
tra Motor baseball league OF BoyIaud
We're adopted ar meeting Of the

unanimously passed were as follows.
Average weight classification OF

Limited weight or PLAYERS. 100
pounds.
That the Buick team be accepted
into the league lu the place form erly
held By the FL Paso & Southwestern

successive games viii be suspended
from the league and another club
taken 800 irs place.
That the san IEuatius club be given
the percentage OF the Overland club
and that forfeit game be returned
20 them
The above resolutions were adopted
after sew ral arguments in favor Of
the Buick and san IEnatius teams
had been advanced by the managers.
To was pointed OUT that the ST. IEna-
thus team entered the league in its
fourth week by a clean slate and to
date has played but four games, while
the Other clubs Of the circuit have
participated in seven. The St Igna-
thus team entered the circuit when
the Overland club was dropped out
and was therefore liable 20 the per-
ceutaEe OF the Overland team. The

- Connie Mack and Pat Moran.
4 managers respectively Of the
Athletics and the Phllfes, have diff
ferent systems Of building ball teams,
and both have proved their methods
by winning championships.
Mack SHES at veterans. The tall
tactIcisn OF shibe park wants his
players young, preferably without big
league experience. He likes to teach
them his own way Of playing ball and
says the young ones learn more rap
idly because he doesn't have TO IN
learn them anything first.
Pat prefers experience. He
would rather have a player who
knows the big league game. He
keeps few youngsters but he has
the uncanny faculty OF taking
supposed ahas beensT and bring
ing them back to form, even i'm
proving on them.
There have been exceptions to these
rules OF the local managers, but gen
orally they have followed their pet

OF his stars early in the American
1eag cues career by the courts which
sent such men as LajOie, Flick and
Bernhardt from the city
But Mack didn't seek more old tai
emit He took Eddie Plank, Mike
Powers and Dave FultZ from college
ranks; Danny Murphy, Seybold and
Topsy Hartzeu from the minors and
with Monte and Lave Cross and
Harry Davis he quickly won a cham
piOuship. He kept this team practic-
ally together for three years. then he
smashed il up. The men were getting
too old for him. He wanted youth

Pittsburger Is Near Champ
By JACK vEIOCK.

Jew YORK. Aug Harry Greb.
N the Pittsburg maui wielder, is
claiming some attention from
the fistic public these days.
Harry is a middleweight and he has
been actively engaged in the profess
sionaI ring since 1913. He has won a
big percentage Of his battIes-some
100 in all-and he thinks he is en-
ritled 20 a crack at the middleweight
-hampiouship
The crown claimed by Al Mccoy
isn't reposins where it belongs. If we

paign 70 win a title, and this is Just
what Greb is doing But unlike so
many others, Greb is on the level with
his offer 10 Al Mccoy and TO show
his sincerity he has posted a certified
check for $1,000 with Pittsburgh box

r ORE and more the efforts OF
M Connie Mack, silent leader of

spect among the big Ieaguers. The
prediction made by himself when he
began To white Off the stars With
which he had won several worlds
championships that he would be back
in the race by 1917, has not been
realized, but he has succeeded In
making the name Philadelphia once

Discussing Mack and his newly

van said that he would rather

contest against the Mackmen.

EMBROIDERY TO BE REVIVED
France Determined to Re-EstabIish In
dustry in Order to Give Her
Women Employment.

Paris is quite determined, that is GER
tain, on the vast re-establishment of
her business in embroidery. Her wom-
en- are needleworkers of Importance.
None is SO good on this planet, possi-
bly,, unless isolated exceptions in the
Indian and Persian countries be taken
into account.
Her gentlewomen are trained, as all
gentlewomen used to be trained in old
en- days, before the sewing machine
and ready-to-wear garments, in the art
Of holding a needle filled with fine
thread and accomplishing wonders
with 1t.
Money has been scarce among the
people in %aristocratic segments of
French life, and the war has brought
about the same kind of situation which
existed during the Revolution those
who are too proud to work for their
living in other epochs will now do so
under the national strain.
Also, there are thousands of Bel
gian refugees and French women in
other classes of life and society who
must be supported. France does not
believe in the ~nonproducing consumer.
And sc these women and men, too
old even to serve in hat territory serv-
ce of bearing the wounded from the
trenches of the hills, which has been
given to those who do not bear arms
and who are sure of their footing aud
their nerves, are given the gentler
service of embroidery for the worlds
clothes. So every woman who buys a
gown that is embroidered in France is
helping France.
