BY BILLY EVANS.

Who are the greatest players OF
the past 40 years?
No one could possibly answer that
question better than Connie Mack,
famous manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics.
Connie has been In the national
pastime so many years, as player
and manager. that he is a link be-
tween the old era and the present
period.
Mack's all-star team for the past
40 years includes six players from
the American League and four from
the National. Here is the way Con-
ME sizes up the players on his
team:
Ewing is the best all-round
catcher l ever saw. other catch
ers have outshone him in certain de-
partments. He was a great player
in every respect-brains. batting,
fielding and judgment.
Three Great Players.
Mike Kelly was the brainiest
catcher that ever lived and Charley
Bennett the best receiver. while for
grace alone, Tom Daily.
1T is difficult to draw the line IN
pitching, with so many great pitch
ers to consider.
"Mathewson is the man I would
pick. He had a great curve ball,
plenty of speed, courage. control and
a knowledge of how to pitch to
every batter. He was what we call
n smart pitcher.
Left-H Hand Stars.
"Waddell was the best left handler.
mean the greatest as far as actual
ability was concerned. If it came
to a question though. of Rube or
Eddie Plank on my club, 1 would
have taken Plank.
''Sisler for first base. A year ago
I might have selected Hal Chase.
There never will be a better fielder
than Chase. but Sisler is great at
everything.
"Give me Eddie Collins for my
second baseman. There is a great
ball player. LaJoie was the most
graceful second baseman I ever saw
and a great one. Taking all things
into consideration, however Collins
has the shade.
Wagner for shortstop. In the |
old days Herman Long and Hughie |
Jennings were stars. We have some |
shortstops in both major |

THOUSANDS WAITING
 CHANGES IN ITALY
Transition Of Government Takes
 Place Without Great Trouble

London, Oct. 30. - (By Associated Press) - British official dispatches from Rome indicate that the fascist movement in Italy is proceeding peacefully. So far the fascisti,. it is stated, have proved themselves we'll disciplined.
 The triumphant forces of fascist were ready today to take over the gov crnment of Italy Their leader, Dr. Renito Mussolni was scheduled to see the king and answer the call of the sovereign for him to create new ministry to replace the facta govern ment whose downfall was brought about last week by the growing tide of fascist power and sympathy.
 Thousands Waiting
 Outside the city thousands of Mus solini's black shirted followers, await the command that will send them marching with the proud step of a victorious army through the gates of Rome already gay with flags and bunt- ing to celebrate their entry.
 Communication lines leading to the Italian capital are reported in control of the fascist. Little news of their activities has come from Italy since last night when Mussolini boarded a special train at Milan to go to Rome. He had just notified the fallen Pre- mier Eacta that he had no intention Of entering any cabinet formed by any politician declaring 'the fascist must go into power without alliances with any other party but granting some portfolios outside the fascist party"
 King Gives In
 The revolt against the politicians" iong ago begun by the fascisti many of them vigorous young veterans of the world war, was crowned with sue cess when King Victor Emmanuel, greatly moved embraced Deputy De Necchi. one of the supreme military authorities of the fascist told him that he would give Italy a govern. rnent most suited to the new spirit pervading the country and then en- trusted Mussolini with the task of forming a ministry.
 Makeup of Cabinet
 Tn forming new cabinet NIussoini said he would retain to himself the portfolios of interior and foreign af- fairs, and appoint Gen. Diaz minister of war, Admiral Thaon di Reval min ster of finance and include in the gov srning body the Catholic Deputy Ca tazzoni and the liberal senator Lusig- 1oli, now prefect ot Milan, conferring he other portfolios upon fascisti

BOARD OF TRADE IS
 AFTER INJUNCTION
Chicago Businessmen Move to Test Constitutionality of Grain Futures
 Act-Ask Injunction

Chicago. Oct. S0.--The Chicago board of trade today made its frs, l move to test the constitutionality of the grain futures act when it filed in 1 federal district court here petition for injunction' restraining the govern ment from enforcing the provisions of the act
 The law enacted to take the place of the former Capper-Tincher act de- clared unconstitutional by the su- preme court was passed to become ef- fective November l.
 The bill of complaint filed by Henry S. Robbins, counsel for the board, charges that the law seeks to regu- late, as interstate commerce, trade that is wholly state trade: that it in- tereferes with state rights to govern exchanges and that it seeks to deprive board members of their property by admitting representatives Of co-opera- tive bodies and permitting them to rebate commissions in violation of rules observed by other members.
 Further charges of unconstitution- ality are made on the ground that
 
 ions crime "and constitutes the sec retary of agriculture the secretary of commerce and the attorney general commission with power to deprive of- lenders of their rights to thereafter pursue a lawful avocation whereas such criminal laws are under the con- sritution enforceable only in courts with a jury trial.
 Other sections granting wide pow CTS of control to the secretary of agri- culture who is given authority to designate what exchanges shall or shall not be contract markets, are attacked as unsound.
 Fear of what might result from the drastic provisions of the law the complaint says, may bring on "a serious disturbance of the grain mar kets of the country

SABLE COATS AND
 CARS SELL CHEAP
Few Yen Charged for Latter 60 Ru- bles for Former When Vlad-
 ivostok Is Evacuated.

Vladivostok, Oct. 30 (By Associated Press) Except for the arms which the Japanese were unable to remove when they evacuated Vladivostok, little of value was left here for the incoming Chita troops. The retreat ing white troops requisitioned all the water transport from an ice breaker that could be moved, even to office curtains, to find purchaser abroad.
 It is estimated that 15,000 people left this city prior to the entry of the red forces. During the panic they sold their possessions greatly be- low their real value. Sable coats were sold for few yen and a French motor car went for 50 rubles.
 The panic was uncalled for, as thus body. The Chita forces have ex- pressed desire to live with peace and amity with all nations and to open trade relations with them.
 The red forces are made up largely of boys who do not observe the usual salutes of the army, but they are well disciplined and carry out commands promptly.
 The Chita troops although they have been here but few days have established in conjunction with the soviet government a railway service between Ogolnaia and Moscow. They promise to have a fortnightly express running from Vladivostok to Moscow within a month. The soviet now runs a fortnightly express from Chita to Moscow, covering the distance in eight days.

ON THE FIRST BOUND
WITH CLERKIN;

The New Britain football eleven fell with thud yesterday from the football pedestal of fame in Connecti- cut when the All Bridgeport eleven smeared the locals with q 15-to-0 de- feat at Newtied Park, Bridgeport While the victors were clearly the better team. two "breaks" favored them in piling up such a decisive score.
 Time and again Peterson and Farnikow found the opposing for wards and tackles bearing down on them before they had got started.
 Conley. Peterson, Leary and Rogers played smart football and had their teammates come up to expectations the score might have been smaller. eleven did not take the defeat to heart by any means. It is probably good lesson for the boys and from now on past performances may not r- relied on for victory.
