CONNIE MACK WAS MISTAKEN
Managers Prediction That He Would
Assemble Strong Team So Far
Has Not Materiaiized.

When Connie Mack disrupted his
great team after the 1914 worlds
series, selling Collins, Baker, Barry,
Shawkey and Murphy and casting
adrift Bender, Plank and Coombs, he
said: "I'll have players just as good
two years from now" But Connie has
now discovered that roses do not grow
on every bush. After four consecutive
tailenders since 1914 he seems to have
Il team this year that Is even more of
a joke than some of his previous clubs.
Last year Connie had n respectable
tailender. One can't even say that for
this years team.

NICE INDOOR SPORT

One Of the leading small-town in
door sports vogue ever since Ben
Franklin put w Poor Richards is
to gently but firmly tell the ~unfortu-
nate publisher of a weekly newspaper
just how 1t ought to be run. There
seems to be a world of would-be edi-
tors cluttering up perfectly good jobs
in other lines. We wonder why they
don't take up the easy and pleasant
work themselves. Most anybody can
run a village newspaper-but run it
where?
In the first place the weekly Blast.
as W are fondly dubbed by a dis
dainful public, never does anything
until Saturday; the remainder of the
week there is nothing to do till to-
morrow. Like lawyers, we loaf all
the time. Grab a couple of Divorces,
go to the movies, and then when trial
day comes, grab a dozen volumes of
Blackstone and your Honor" the
Judge for an hour, after which fees
are collected. La la! work is done
for another week. Sure! It's the
same in the Fourth Estate. Ask any
one. We never know anything until
after it has happened. and are the
last to know Of its happening.

If Bill Talkum takes a little flyer in

another news item is lost to a wait

into believing that he is the only and

there's hell to pay because the little
old unimportant weekly didn't herald
it to the breathless mob. We are,

right to slip us the harpoon at his
pleasure. There are two things that
everyone seems to know how to do

somebody else how to run their bust

who do dope out the little sheets have
been cured of the ailment. If they
had not, we might see in their col
