ANGRY FANS DO NOT
SCARE CONNIE MACK
Athletic Manager Is Only Leader
Who Dare Defy Bugs.
Squeamishness Not Found in Human
rfament From Philadelphia When
1t Comes to Disposins of Most
Popular Player.

One of the distinctions wrenched
from reluctant fate by the indom-
liable Connie Mack is that of being
the only leader in baseball history with
nerve enough to defy home fans by
selling popular players.
Only recently was presented the
spectacle of Branch Hickey worrying
himself sick over the problem of what
to do with fabulous offer for Horns
by, player who may prove to be over
rated or who may be caught in the
draft age ere the 1913 campaign is
over.
Common sense told Hickey that the
absurd money proffer ought to be
snatched up without debating the mat
ter for more than a wink's time, yet
fear that the fans would accuse him of
wrecking the clubs pennant chances
forced him to put all thoughts of SELL
ing Rogers into the background
against his better judgment, it may be.
No such squeamishness was to be
found in the human filament from
Philadelphia. Connie swung his mace
on a worlds championship machine
and wrecked it before the very eyes of
the astounded mob. He has continued
TO dismantle it ever since, has de-
nuded 1t of almost the last vestige of
It's former greatness. He survives, he
has a bank roll and owns an inexpen-
sive team and will be financially forti-
fled better than most of it's rivals, if
the worst comes because of the war.
However, Connis had his clientele
on the trip when he smashed and bat
tered down this great baseball club.
He knew before he began the destruc-
ton that there was no comeback at
him because of third and even less
distinction that had attached
to his Athletics-that of having been
the only worlds championship team In
modern history to go through the sea-
son money loser!
Back into the teeth of the Philadel-
phia fans Connie hurled it, when re
preached for breaking up his team.

support of similar lack of popular

MATTY AND COBB DISAGREE
Two Masters at Variance on Benefits
Derived by Ball Players in An
cient Game of Golf.

Christy Mathewson, noted pitcher
and manager, today comes with big
boost for golf, insisting that golf is
beneficial to any ball player, if not
overdone. In passing, it is interesting
to note that Ty Cobb, noted batsman
is great lover of the ancient game
but gave it up last year as he claimed
it "dimmed" his batting eye.
Thus we have the two masters dis.
agreeing. Both are artists, one in de-
ceiving the batter, and the other in
running" the pitcher. Ty says the
follow through" in golf is different
from the follow through stroke in
baseball, and that the perfection of
one will be the detriment of the
other.
Matty already has advised num-
Der of his youngsters to take up the
game. Cobb, on the contrary, has
tried to discourage it among the dia-
mond tossers. So there you are.

Lived by Trapping.

They were discovered when they ap,
peared at store in Cawker City and
purchased a chicken and some white
bread for Sunday dinner. They re.
fused to answer questions regarding
themselves, but their identity was dis
closed through photographs that had
been sent broadcast throughout the
West. The lads appeared to be in ex-
cellent health.
Immediately after the report was
made by the Cawker City storekeeper
to Sheriff Hugh Lorimer of Topeka,
the fathers of the two boys, w. r.
Robinson and Louis Luthey, left for
Solomon valley, where they attempted
to persuade the young men to return to
their homes.
Both boys were close followers Of
the, adventures of Daniel Boone and
other famous trappers. Two weeks
before their departure from home they
had purchased trapping outfits and
books on trapping. When they disap-
peared from home they carried small
bags and minimum amount
of clothing. They dropped out of sight
completely. Every recruiting station
for the army or navy in the United
States was informed as to the identity
of the lads, but this precaution brought
no results.
Whether it was patriotism in OBJ
serving meatless days, poor hunting, or
hunger for the food of civilization that
caused the journey to Cawker City is
not known. 1t is sufficient that the
trip disclosed the whereabouts of the
young men and gave their parents an
opportunity to find them.

CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABL {.
Excellent Reason Why Cinnamon Are
Averse to Calling in the Aid
of Physician.

The cost of a Doctors visit in China
ranges from five to ten cents. One
would think that, inasmuch as they are
so cheap, nobody would be without
doctors visits in China, but as fact,
the Chinese get along with as few of
them as possible. The reason is said
to be that the Mongolian doctors use
such abominable medicines. Extracts
of all sorts of creeping things enter
into the Chinese drug list, and people
are averse to taking them, except i'm
case of extreme necessity.
1t is possible that doctors have pur-
nosely provided themselves with these
offensive remedies as means of self
protection. 1t would be very wearing
to be popular physician at five cents
Il visit; he might run his legs off and
get no sleep. He accordingly makes
himself unpopular through the me-
dunn of medicines decOcted of beetles
and grasshoppers and such things.
He prefers simple poverty to poverty
complicated with running about.
