ATHLETICS TO OPEN
SERIES HERE TODAY
Walter Johnson Expected to
Pitch; Mack's Team
Improved.

Connie Mack and his Athletics.
who are expected to win a lot of
ball games this year. will be the
guests of the Griffmen this after
noon at American League Park, to
usher in the second series Of the
season.
Added interest to the game is
the announcement that Walter
Johnson, who pitched part Of the
opening game, will probably start
against the AS. 1t all depends on
the weather and the Big Trains
condition. Scott Perry will probably
work on the slab for the Philadel-
phians.
Mack has an all-around team this
year, with the pep of youth and
plenty of hitting power. With the
addition of Frank BRAZIL, the oEs
weak spot in the infield has been
plugged. Griffin. who took care of
the initial sack last year, was a
weak hitter, but the newcomer
bears all the earmarks of a slugGer,
and is batting in the cleanup role.
The visiting pitchers will give
McBride's men a real test at the
bat. as they are rated among the
best in the circuit. Bryan Harris
yesterday held the Yanks to four
hits. but was beaten. Rommel re-
Gently defeated the New Workers,
and there are quite a few other
skillful men ready to do their BIT.
There will be a game. no matter
what the weather is" said President
Griffith last night. The secret is the
protecting canvas covering for the
infield.

took home a large piece to use as a
door weight. Some time later geol-
ogist. visiting Gilbertson, identified
the ore, and a mad rush to stake

sued. Gllbertson refused to tell where
he found the ore Later he became
insane, and died without revealing the
secret. This season systematic

cENsURE BRITISH NEW RICH
as Ihey Should, Old Aris-
tocracy Charged

, The English new rich" have to bear
almost as much criticism as the prime
minister, and from almost as mixed a
source. Their natural enemies are the
poor and the new poor, and the latter
element seems to feel strongest on the
subject. The aristocracy have taken
ately to publishing their sentiments
about the people who have usurped
their place. One of the charges they
make is that the new rich don't know
how to give, and that as result hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions are
being forced to close up. 1t may not
be, say the aristocracy obviously, that
the new rich are wilfully selfish. But
they are not used to money, and so
are not used to giving it away. An
other allegation, made by peppery
daughter Of an impoverished duke, was
that the new rich had never done any
thing to make the world beautiful and
that as class they had produced no
great art or literature.
Socially the new rich have to bear
the, brunt Of all the changes. An ac-
tress said the other day that she never
saw before the war the people who
now fill the stalls in the theaters. The
people with good manners who used to
sit in stalls before the war have dis
appeared and their successors lack
breeding. One day somebody ate Or
anges in the stalls and the feeling of
calamity in aristocratic circles was
strong for weeks.
Extremes in styles are also blamed
on the women of the profiteer class,
who are declared by their enemies to
have learned the art of dressing in
their original homes in the East end
