FIELD MARSHALS OF THE MAJORS
CORNELIUS McGILLICUDDY MACK

NEW YORK. April 1s.-The name Of
N Connie Mack has been a household
word IN fanland for years
Everybody has heard OF Mack.
for the winner Of five pennants
and three worlds championship
for the philadelphia Americans Is
one Of the outstanding figures In
modern baseball.
Mack is just as kindly as he is IonE
and lean. He impresses those he
meets because Of his reserved nature.
and he looks like a walking encyclo-
pedia Of baseball wisdom. Mack Is
a student Of human nature as well as
a student Of baseball Nothing es-
capes his keen gray eyes. that peer
out from beneath bushy brows, for
he Is also a keen observer.
Great Manager.
Baseball critics long ago agreed
that Connie-or Cornelius McGilli-
cuddy. TO be correct-deserved rank
ing as one Of the greatest baseball
managers in history. AS such he will
go down In baseball annals. for his
page in the book OF fame has already
been written.
The breaking up Of his famous
champion Athletics is perhaps the
most startling feature of Mack's ca
reer. The fact that he built a worlds

championship club on practically a
shOestring IS all to his credit But
when he broke II I'D he surprised the
baseball world II was a whim Of
Mack's forceful character. and the
passing OF the last members OF his
once great team during the recent
winter was additional evidence Of the
confidence he has in his own ability
and the business sagacity he uses in
conducting a BAN club. Mack's moves
IN the player market may prove out
as worthy ones. At worst he incurred
unfavorable comment that will die
out in time. And he padded the bank
roll Of the Athletics admirably.
Steady BaekstOp.
Mack broke into the game as a
catcher with Meriden and Hartford.
and soon went to Washington Later
ne played with Buffalo. and In 1891
he went TO Pittsburg as catcher and
manager. In 1897 he became owner
and manager Of the Milwaukee club.
and in 1901, at the birth Of the
American league, he transferred his
franchise 70 Philadelphia, where he
has been ever since.
Few managers or owners have
been as successful as Mack. Few
are as clever In handling a ball
club. In short, Mack has forgot
ten more baseball than many men
IN the business ever learn.

INDOOR LEAGUE

Practice Games and Ac-

Use Good Games.

If pep and activity In practice
games are a true indication, the
Church Indoor Baseball league has
before it the most successful season
in the local history Of the game.
This is the first attempt that has
been made TO float a league OF this
kind, as it has always been customary
in the spring and sumner to confine
the indoor baseball activities to class
and "T'' leagues. In spite Of the fact
that SO many OF the athletes have
gone TO the front, the church teams
are all managing TO find enough play
ers TO make the league a success.
Several Interesting practice games

Food They Work Hard to Raise.
Here in the United States, let us
hope, we shall never lie subject to the
discipline to which German farmers
submit, for it is inconsistent with
our democratic ideas. But we should
realize that:
l. Farmers in the enemy countries
are supporting their governments.
>. Certain kinds of food are still
fairly abundant.
3. The Central Powers are using
every possible means 20 maintain agri-
cultural production.
/. Isolated cases of food shortage
are not necessarily typical of large
areas
>. Reports that farmers are slack
ening in their efforts bear the ear
marks of German propaganda
When we realize that the peasants
in the enemy countries are patient
under very rigid regulations, and are
willing to give up food which they
have worked hard to produce, in or
der that their armies may be fed, it

new SUGAR PRICES
FOR DELAWARE
Maximum is 10 1-2G in Cities
and Towns and lie in

Food L administrator Edmund Mitch
ell. in outlining the new prices on
sugar said:
"The rule Of the Food Administra-
tiOn is positive, that all sugar in
stock, whether in the hands of the
wholesaler, retailer or jObber, must
be sold at the old price.
"The retail price for all bulk su-
gar, purchased after September 9,
will be not more than 1912 cents per
pound in Wilmington, and IL cents i'll

'"Retail dealers are to still con-
tinue to sell sugar in quantities of
not more than pounds per person
per month in cities and towns, and
not more than pounds to purchas-
ers living in outlying districts.
"This regulation must not be con-
strued to interfere with the sale Of
sugar for canning purposes, as home
canning should be encouraged.
''In case a purchaser finds Il deal

all, that clothing reveals personality,
and that to gain personality they must
consider their work, it's ideals, and
their own social responsibility. Forty
nine hairpins and fluffy cascade of
feminine adOrnment are becoming OBJ
Solete since Uncle Sam is accepting

means the right attitude toward the
dignity and worth of the human body,
and respect for dignity does not go
with a neck too exposed for business.
Again women are learning that a
business proposition is not an ante
room to matrimOny. While 1t goes
without saying that for the average
woman marriage is a state both right
and greatly to be desired, it by no
means justities her using her place
in the business world primarily as a
means of securing a possible husband.
The woman today who wishes to fill
a place in the business world until
such time as it is convenient for her
to marry, In all fairness to other WO-
men who assume business responsible
ity permanently, must surrender her.
self to the task she has chosen in no
half hearted way. Employment must
cease to be merely a means Of secur-
ing money for alluring clothes.
Women are fast learning that If
they desire equal pay for equal work
the first emphasis must be placed on
the work. The time has come when
they must cease to demand both the
rights of men and the privileges of
women. If they desire to be CO.
lahOrers with men in the business
world, with equal opportunities and
equal pay, they must face business
with a mans steadfastness of purpose
and real desire to succeed. The bust
ness woman of today must be willing
to fOrego such styles of dress as will
distract from the business in hand and
surround them with sex conscious
ness which is not conducive to solid
work nor to sound morals.

Psychology Of War
On Women's Dress
BY LENA MADISON PHILLIPS,
Y. w. C. A. National Board Secretary
for Business Women.

"
for Business Women.
"Work while you work and primp
at home" is the new slogan for the
woman in business. With the call to
her new duties brought about by war
has come to woman the knowledge
that to succeed in business she can
not think of her clothes during office
hours. The old fashioned idea that
woman is always clustering about her
dress w. rapidly being killed in action.
If the business women are to meet
the demands of the present day chal-
lenge, thus fulfilling the promise of
their past achievements, the stand
ards of the average woman must be
raised as a means thereto, and the
raising of standards means sensible
dressing. To appear at the office with
fuzzy hair, high heels and the primp-
ing attitude; to work all day with one
eye on the clock and the other on the
mirror, had a tendency to lower stand
ards Ideas on the change in the at
tire of business women have been fer
menting for some time. One clever
woman has even gone so far as TO
work out the fact based on canvass
and statistics that the woman who
was always fussing over her clothes
and primping during office hours did
not get her salary raised.
With the coming of the war woman's
work has been made real, and all
these fermenting ideas are fast being
crystalized. Women have found the
waists that muss on the slightest prov
ocation, like chiffon, and other mate
rials designed for the drawing room,
impractical for the real work they are
now called upon to do. They have
| found that high heels advertise weak
ness, and those who are doing Uncle
Sans work must think of their feet
in terms of strong ankles and strong
arches. They have discovered, above
