LAKE CHARLES, La, Mar. a.
Connie Mack has passed the expert
menting stage with his Athletics.
i've got my team says Connie.
What they need is polish. That's
what they're getting.
Ever since I sold off my wonder
team I've been trying to get together
a combination that had the earmarks
of another great ball club.
1T has been a long. losing road.
This is the year it turns"
Has 30 Players
Since 1914 Connie has been separat-
ing the wheat from the chaff.
He has but 80 players in his train
ing camp here-the smallest squad he's
brought south for seven years.
His regular lineup stacks up the
way it finished last fall.
Added to these are a few extras to
be used in case any of his one-year
vets skid.
Connie has two weak spots on his
ball club.
Weak With Stick
Clarence Galloway at short and Ivy
Griffin at first are high-grade field
ers-but they're weak with the stick.
Both hit we'll for Atlanta in the
Southern league. The step up to the
big time was too much for them and
they fizzled last year.
This season they may develop big
league batting eyes.

Ed Rommel, Rolie Naylor. Scott
Perry, Bryan Harris, Bob Hasty and
Roy Moore-au oldsters now-com-

fingers in the majors. Moore IS the
only left-har der in the crowd. All are

Only eight pitchers will be carried.
OF the recruit sIabbcrs John Slap

North Carolina league, look best. Both
are Hooters and left handlers.
Spirit Is Good
Add 10 this combination of talent a
genuine family spirit, youth that
never knows when it's licked and the
burning desire to get out Of the cellar
and you have a mental picture of Con-
MES ball club.
The 1921 Athletics will trot on the
fie1d-not as gawky green kids of a
year ago-but as a stronger, smart
er and better team by so per cent.
Connie has another wonder team on
the way.

RIFLE CLUB FOR
YOUNGSTERS GROW
Boys and Girls Are Taught safety
First" With Firearms and Then How
To Enjoy Other Outdoor Sports.

Most Of the readers of this publica-
ton are acquainted with the work
done by the Winchester Junior Rifle
Corps and that this wonderful organ
ization beginning as a purely local
proposition Is now recognized as nat
ional leader in all movements to pro-
mote more friendly spirit between
and among boys and girls by encour-
aging them to participate in whole
some and healthful recreation.
Begun essentially as an organization
to stimulate interest in rifle shooting
by boys and girls under the ago of IS
years the w. j. r. c. has since broad
ened its scope of activities and It's L.
400 adult instructors now take the boys
and girls on hikes. teach them the
finer points of skating, fishing, and
other activities that all young peo-
pie participate in.
Everything that is encouraged by
the Boy Scouts and other boy and girl
organizations is encouraged by the w.
j. r. c., as the latter acts as a service
organization. I will give you an idea
of how the w. ]. r. c. has prospered
on merit alone in few figures:
In 1918 two target matches were
conducted.
In 1920, $50 matches were held in
4S states and countries.
In 1918 medals were awarded to boys
and girls in 1908 cities and towns. In
1920 medals went to 2.450 cities and
towns.
In 1918 there were 36,759 mail in
quiries. In 1920 there were 1889.
With more than ITO 0tnits and H.
600 individual members practically
every hamlet is represented.
Safety first is the motto of the w. J.
r. c. Every boy or girl applying for
membership is given code, and it is
necessary to study and agree to live
up to this code to become member.
Here is the code:
/ will never, under any circumstan-
ces, point a gun, whether it is loaded
or not, at any one.
l will never point a gun at anything
which 1 do not intend to shoot at.
1 will never load a gun when any
one is in front of me.
l will never stand in front of any
one who is loading a gun.
1 will always keep my face away
from the muzzle of a gun.
will never cock and pull the trig-
ger for fun.
l will when loading my gun, keep
the muzzle pointing toward the ground
and in a safe direction.
l will remember that % bullet will

1 will remember that % bullet will

l will remember that a bullet will
ricochet from a bottle or other hard
surface.
1 will remember that a bullet may

/ will never shoot directly at a flat,
hard surface as the bullet will prob
ably glance from it.
! will always carry my gun over my

/ will only carry my gun loaded when

l will always be sure that no wound
ed animal or bird is left TO suffer-
l will, when walking along the side

1 will always put my gun over first
before l climb fence.

Alarm Sounds IL Auto Moves.

An automobiletheft alarm devised
by a Nebraska inventor utilizes the
drive shaft to operate it's own bell or
horn signal when the car is moved
improperly. A friction gear, thrown
into or out of engagement with the
shaft by a cam, is enclosed with the
alarm in a riveted steel case fixed
to the shaft housing and radius rods
The cam also short-circuits the mag
neto, so that turning the key in the
lock stops the engine and sets the
alarm. The lock is located in the floor
of the driving compartment.

CHAPTER XIII.

Minus a manager and the best bet
| IN the box. the Evergreen Wildcats
had not Jared well against the Eastern
AIlstars. When V. Morgan Brewster
and yours breathlessly blew in at the
end OF the fourth frame-foilowing an
other wicked dash in the ozone-the
game seemed lost.
The score was to Q. The boys
didn't have their old jazz, NANNY Hat
toms hoks weren't fooling any hitters,
and Legree, the ex-Princeton chucker
on the mound for the hated opposition,
was going great guns.
To make things tougher, Nanny had
stopped a drive on the end of his
finger and was sticking solely on his
nerve.
But the arrival Of Brewster and my
selp popped up the gang. They let
loose a yell. Brewster hurried into
a suit. Though he had been up all
night and had gone through some as
founding experiences he insisted he
felt fine and fit. He took the slab
at the first of the sixth stanza.
"Manny's finger is on the blink" T
remark. "He oughta be on the bench,
but there's a guy in the lineup"
Leave the traitor in until the game
Is over" Brewster utters. very grim
He may give himself away in this
contest"
1 let him have his way. Truth of
the matter is, I was rather dazed by
all the happenings of the last few
hours.
BY all rights Brewster should be
pretty nearly all in. Yet he seemed
to have more speed and stuff than
ever. Three men went out in a row.
So did our three.
OF course, you never can tell about q
ball player. Once 1 had a HEAVIER who
went on q big drunk Saturday night
and never had a minutes rest. On
Sunday morning he pitched a no-hit
game. I'll admit that happens rarely
like bicuspids in a hen-but you never
can tell.
Brewster held 'em in the seventh.
and again we took a turn with the
hickory.
Lucky seventh! Lucky seventh"
MARBLE. Come on, boys!"
Doyle doubled on the first ball. and
we began to whoop. V. Morgan tried
hard but grounded out. Worth looked
'em over like a matchmaker testing
hairsprings and drew a free ticket.
Then Muddy Clay showed his shirt in
front of the apple. and got by with it.
A packed house greeted Robin Wrigley,
who was playing second base.
Legree was taking his time like a
real pitcher, and the count went to
two and three. Then Wrigley let a
straight one cut the can, and was out.
"Blah!" grunt. "Come on, big boy,
do sornethingl"
IF he'd only give me fast one!"
signs Tiny Crumb. But he has slow
hook can't seem to touch!"
And I saw our demon slugger miss
two of those slow hooks by a foot. I
groaned. Tiny suddenly looked to-
ward the bench, and not toward the
pitcher at all. Noting this, Legree
quickly whipped the onion away from
him. If the batter was going to sleep
he was ready to take advantage.
But the big fellow hadn't gone to
sleep. He turned and met that fast,
one with a mighty wallop. 1
don't know In what part of town that
orange landed. 1t wasn't inside the
ball farm, anyway. Once more Tiny
had pulled a Babe Ruth, and Simon"
Legree looked like the last act Of Uncle !
Toms Cabin.
'"we1l, the big slicker!" I yodel. |
WHO told him to get clever that way?
