Connie Mack
Had a Right
To Sell Men
Although Winning Three PEN
nantS, Athletics Lost Money
for Club Owners,
By Briggs

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IL. ECunnle
Mack has often been called the
brainlest manager In the big leagues.
His ability to build up great baseball
machines together with his general
ship in managing those machines on
the field have given him that reputs-
ton
Mack has had two great baseball
machines since the American league
began eighteen years ago last sum
mer. Mack finished in the cellar. but
he had a club Of youngsters who
could hit the ball and he had some
very promising recruits with whom
he expected TO force himself into a
select place In the league within a
year ~ two.
There probably was no more dis
appointed man IN baseball than Mack
when he found fifteen Of his men,
some Of them the hubs round which
he was building his machine, were
called by the draft II meant that the
work Connie had been doing since the
fall Of 1914 had gone to smash.
TWO Things TO DO.
There were two things Mack could
das He could try to build up a club
around the few stars who remained
to him and lose money or he could
sell his stars and begin over again
and make UP for his losses.
Mack chose the latter step and for
a good reason.
over a space Of four years Mack
had a winning team, winning the
pennant, three times and finishing
second once. In spite Of the fact that
the club was operated economically
he lost money. on this account he
decided TO break up his club In 1914
and get what, ne could from the sale
OF players.
His sales Melted him Sl25,OOO,
enough to cover his deficits ana give

EARLY POTATOES.

Potatoes can be procured from 2
to 8 weeks earlier than normal by
placing the seed potatoes in full sun
light about a month earlier than it is
customary to plant potatoes. This
would be about the middle of April.
These potatoes will then produce short
thick dark green sprouts that are very
tough. At planting time each seed
piece should contain at least one of
these clusters Of buds. The pieces
should be planted carefully with the
buds upward. 1t will require only
half the time or less for plants to
come to the surface Of the soil from
sun sprouted seed than from normal
dormant seed potatoes. The potatoes
will thereby be able to make a very
good growth during the cool part of
the year before the excessive heat of
summer. Potatoes which sprout in
the cellar producing long white ten
der sprouts should not be used for
seed purposes as they will give poor
results. Potatoes of an early variety
like Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio
should be used to secure best results.
