still be served. 1t is really more EN-.
phaticalIy than ever before the day OF

otic devotion. Yet their elders cannot
be denied share in the great making
of history which is going on. To be
living through it at any age is to Stir

if they adapt for their own use the

CONNIE MACK HAS NO
 FEAR OF FANS
Strong Contrast to Branch Hickey in Attitude Toward Popular Opinion,

One of the distinctions wrenched from a relucent fate by the indom- itable 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 a fabulous offer for Horns by.
 Common sense told Hickey that the absurd money proffer ought to be snatched up without debating the matter for more than winks time, yet fear that the fans would accuse him of WreckinG the clubs pennant chances forced him to put all thoughts of selling Rogers into the background against his better. judgment, it may be.

WORLDS SERIES AFTER SEPT. 2
Decision Reached American League Meeting in Cleveland Saturday-Wll End Season Sept 2, as Will National Other Sporting News.

Cleveland. O., Aug. 1.-The American league baseball schedule will be played out until Sept. without any readjust- ment and a worlds series staged start ing Sept. or 4, it was decided at Sat urday's special meeting of American league club owners. Every club was represented
 Early indications were that the American league owners would vote to close the season between Aug. II and 20. But the attitude of Barney Drey- fuss, president of the Pittsburgh Ma tional league club and representative of the National league on the national commission, changed this aspect. Drey- fuss. while clothed with authority to act for the league, had ironclad in structions that his league would not be
 party to an earlier closing than Sept. ,. He was also instructed to make no agreement for a worlds series to begin before-t that date. B. E. Johnson, president of the l American league, addressed the own CTS. saying that his interpretation of | Secretary of War Bakers ruling on the l work or fight order was that baseball should c!ose down before Sept. l. Al ter some discussion the owners agreed to put the situation to test by agree | ing to close the season Labor day and i then starting a worlds series Sept. i
 if permitted by the government. l After the meeting MT. Johnson would
 make no comment on the decision of the owners other than to say that he | still believes Secretary Bakers ruling | is specific enough to cover the case
