CONNIE MACK IS
TRYING TO MAKE
NEW FLAG TEAM
Hopes to Pick Off Another
Pennant With Young
sters.
BY FRED TUReYvlLLE.

Connie Mack has 81 athletes ready
for shipment to Lake Charles, La,
where the serious-fac leader of the
one=time famous Athletics will at
tempt TO work something into shape
resembling big league ball team. OF
the 81 athletes there are 10 city broke.
The rest OF 'em are bushers, but good
looking bushers, Connie would have
you know. He and his scout, Tommy
Turner, picked them fresh from the
bushes while the picking was good
late last summer. From. this large
and varied collection of young men
distance Of the American league flag.
He would love to hear 1t whipping in
the breeze again, but he isn't foolish
enough to predict a pennant winner
for 1920.
Connie hasn't had much luck since
he converted well-known stars into
cash in the hand some few years ago
after pennant winning had become
sort Of a monotony with him and a
half-hearted cheering matter with the
fans OF Philadelphia.
But from the top of the heap to the
bottom was long slide and after the
fans had recovered their breath they
began to supplant their cheers with
1eers and they made themselves con-
spicuous by their absence at the ball
park.
So last summer Connie decided he'd
have to get himself another ball team.
He bought the whole shootin' match at
Atlanta, and Atlanta was some pump
kins in the Southern Association as
the final standing of the 1919 race will
show. Connie took what he wanted
and then picked up few more here
and there.
Harry Davis will help him out again
next season, and then there is Danny
Mug, engaged to coach the young
sters. 1t looks like a busy spring
for Davis and Murphy.
He has four veteran pitchers-Kin-
ney, MAYOR, Jing johnson and Scott
Perry; Ralph Perkins, hold-over
catcher; Dick Burrus, first baseman:
Dugan, short; Whitley Witt, second
Fred homas, third; George Burns.
Amos Strunk and Clarence Walker.
The rest Of them are new-yery

There are ten new pitchers: George

ris. OF Houston; Charles Eckert, of
Suffolk; William Pierson, of Atlantic
City; Bob Hasty, of Atlanta: Pat
Martin, of Binghampton; Dave Keefe.
of Reading; Ed Rommell, OF Newark;
Lyle Bigbee, of Seattle, and Roy Moore
Of Waco. ~
3 Bill Stiles, of Atlanta, Glenn Myatt
OF Houston, and John Walker, of the
Western league, are new catchers
Ivy Griffin, of Atlanta, is new first
baseman.
Jimmy Dykes, of the same team. is
new second baseman.

Real Ghost, Says Psychist
Of Hitchy's big Breese'
But Raymond, of Stage Fame, Insists He Had
Only Coffee, and the Policeman on the Beat
Declares Twill Be Morning Soon, Anyhow

A blazing log fire cracked cheerily
Ia the big, cozy lounging room at the
home Of Raymond Hitchcock, the come
dian, at 41O West Twenty-fourth Street,
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was
past the witching hour for most people
Outside the streets of the Chelsea dis
t1ict were empty save for q solitary
policeman, the sound of whose foot
steps fell heavily on the sepulchral
stiffness. Gazing quizzically for mo
rent at the redpainted front of Mr.
Hitchcock's three story brick house,
the policeman passed on.
Two scenes were being enacted in
Mr.. Hitchcock's house In his quaint
little Dutch kitchen in the basement
Mr.. Hitchcock was regaling his friends
with history of the premises-how
it was $50 years old, how it had been
occupied during the Revolutionary
war by a Dutch family, how he had
been told that the place was involved
in deep mystery, how every night he
was awakened by queer noises-dis-
tjnct treading of feet as if some one
walking pondcrously up the stairs and
through the Railways, and how doors
would open and shut of their own ac
cord.
Funny, Says "Hitchy"
"Funny," said Mr.. Hitchcock, "the
roises have no uncanny effect on me.
They simply make me laugh Many g
night, reading in bed in my room up
stairs, hear the heavy tramping on
the stairs. 1t is as if some heavy per
son troubled with the rheumatism were
coming up and stopped on each step to
rest, for each step creaks, and then
there is a shuffling of feet. | throw
down my book, rush out to the stairs
md in spite Of myself burst out laugh
there in my night clothes, a candle in
my hand and laughing like fool"
While Mr.. Hitchcocks guests were
processing to be thrilled at his recital
another scene was being enacted up
stairs. Mr.. Hitchcock's bedroom is on
the second floor rear. In the middle
of it. in total darkness and alone, sat
DR.. Hereward Darlington, an authority
on psychic research and author of
True Ghost Stories.
DR.. Darlington held in his hand q
little pocket hashlight. Frequently a
shaft of light shot across the room.
into the corners. up at the ceiling, on
to great rose-colorcd lacouercd
Chinese bureau and beneath the bed.
DR.. Darlington was looking for springs,
wires or other contrivances which
might account for ghosts. Satisfied
that the room was free from all spir-
itualistic paraphernalia, he put the
hashligbt in his pocket and sat still.
Doors and Windows Shut
The doors were shut and the windows
were shut. Presently, Mr.. Darlington
said, a cold breeze like an exhalation
from tomb and several degrees lower
than the temperature in the room
swept across his hands and forehead
ut was a presence" he said. Dis
