MACK SPANNING
TO SELL ATHLETICS
Wants to Get Rid of Club and
Buy Atlanta Team
Is the Story.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August "a
fairly authentic story broke" here
today. when it was stated by several
individuals supposed to be Gin the
know" that Connie Mack plans to sell
the Athletics to a trio of his former
players and buy the Atlanta club of
the Southern Association. The trio
said to be slated to succeed their old
manager are Eddie Collins, Ira
Thomas and Harry Davis.
1t is well known that Connie is
tired of the long struggle to build up
winner. and it may be that the time
mas hnally come when he feels that he
IS ready to step out and leave the
worry and fret to other shoulders
The Atlanta club offers one of the
pest investments in minor league
ranks. 1t has always been a winner
on the field as well as at the turn
SUES and Is profitable team. At
ianta and New Orleans are by long
odds the best towns in the entire
Southern Association. Connie has been
pickering with the Atlanta owners
Tor some time past. but it was sup
posed that 1t was matter of play
ers, especially when he sent Merlin
kopp to Atlanta, two days ago.
Former Mackmen Well Fixed.
Collins, Thomas and Davis are three
former Mackmen who have made
good and all three are we'll supplied
with this worlds goods. Davis. after
ne disappeared from the active ball
held. entered the scrapiron business
and found it a profitable investment
He is member of common councils
rom the northwest section of the
city Thomas. after his retirement
from base ball, entered the real es-
tate business and has found it a sue
cessful venture. Collins has long
been one of the high-salaried players
or the national game, and his real
estate investments in Lansdowne and
other nearby sections have made him
wealthy. All three players received
shares from several world SERIES
Collins figured in the Athletics melon
cutting in 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914,
while he also received a share in the
1917 series. between the White Sox
and Giants.
Thomas and Davis received shares
from various Athletic world series
purses. Davis played in the 1905
series. as well as 1910. and was
with the team in later series. while
Thomas remained until the disinte-
grafton of the famous machine.
Mack owns one-half of the total
Athletic club stock, while the other
half is the property of the Shibes,
who backed the team when the Amer
lean League invasion came. They
have extensive sporting goods inter-
ests. Ben Shibe. who was the main

when 1t broke into the city. has

AIRLEss TIRES SOLVE PROBLEM

Since the days of the first automo-
bile the endeavor has always been to
eliminate tire trouble. Tires have i'm
proved year by year and the mileage
has increased
Now comes the entire solution of the
problem, for light cars at least.
These tires use no air and are re-
inforced where necessary to insure
long life and freedom from tire bother.
The tire is built of the best quality
fabric and rubber. Instead of using an
inner tube which is filled with air in
the pneumatic tire, the Dayton is built
up of piers of live rubber-the same
construction as is used by engineers
in designing bridges.
These piers of rubber are so resil-
lent that they squeeze down when the
tire strikes an obstacle, giving the
same result as a pneumatic tire. The
tread is much thicker than that used
in pneumatics, and thus more resil-
lent

FITNESS PRIZE GOES
TO THE BIG CADILLAC
Wins Distinction at French

FIELD FOR TRUCKS
LARGER THAN EVER
Great Opportunity Opened in
Freight Service-Hardly a
Town Now That Does Not
Have Motor Freight Lines.

The future history of the motor
truck has been written.
1t was written on the battlefields and
shell-torn roads of France and in the
industrial centers and over the pro-
tected highways of this country
Historians of the great war have told
us how the motor truck saved Paris.
They have told us of those never-end-
ing trains which carried ammunition
and supplies from the ships in tn.
harbors to the men at the front re-
CARELESS of road conditions, regardless
of whether there were any roads. We
know in this country what factor
these trains were when, in lieu of
proper railroad facilities they were
utilized to haul supplies to the canton
ments and material of war from in
dustrial centers to ports of shipping.
TRUCK TRAINS HAVE COME
But the part the motor truck played
in the great war concerns us now only
in that 1t has universally demonstrated
its worth as an efficient dependable
mode OF transportation. 1t has UNDER
gone the crucial tesla test such as
even the manufacturer a few years ago
could not have conceived-and has
come forth unscathed
As result, that which the far sight,
ed men of the industry had predicted
is coming to pass-the universal use OF
the motor truck as common carrie,
of freight from city to city.
Already trains of motor trucks are in
operation in various parts of the coun-
try. Practically all the larger cities
have and many of the smaller ones
boast of from one to dozen such lines.
