Connie Mack, elongated leader of
the Athletics will this year get his
team out of the cellar-a position he
has held for seven long years.
Connie once possessed the best base
ball machine in the country They
could win pennant after pennant and
worlds series galore. But the fans
tired of this wonderful combination.
They tired of going to the ball parks
and seeing the team win day after day.
Visiting teams played to poor houses"
in Shibe Park, while the Athletics
drew only a handful away from home.
There was only one thing for Con-
ME to do. With high salary list and
his team composed of stars Connie
was up against it. He began to seq
regate. He shot his million dollar in
field to pieces. They went to other
clubs at high prices and the Athletics
treasury became filled.
Fails With Team
Connie tried to develop another team
with youngsters. He had succeeded
In building up an invincible team with
little outlay of cash and he thought
he could do it again But this time
Connie failed. He kept on trying
however, and after seven years he will
bring his team out of the cellar and
relinquish that uncoveted position to
the Red Sox, also a wonderful club in
the days gone by.
Connie has some of the best young
pitchers in the game today For z
time this season it looked as if Mack
would have the Athletics up in the
first division at the finish. At one
time they were within a stones throw

Cotton" Tiienney Running
Close to Rogers Hornsby
In National Batting Race

An suspicious debut in the select
circle of 300 hitters is being made by
Cotton" Tierney of the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
This earnest second baseman is
running second to Rogers Hornsby in
the National league batting scramble.
Unless Tierney hits an awful slump
he will finish the season well above
| the 800 mark for the first time in his
| big league career.
| This is his third season with the
| Pirates. He hit 239 the first year and
last year came within one point of
entering the 800 class.
1t has been rocky road to the base
| ball heights for Tierney He was liv-
| ing in Kansas City, his birthplace,
when he got a chance to break into
professional ball with the Dallas club
of the Texas league back i'm 1912. Dali
/ las, however, let him go. He signed
with Tyler and then moved to Tex
arkana When that club was trans
ferred to Ardmore in the Texas Okla
horna league he went along, only to be
released in July, 1914.
He hooked up with McAlester. He
finished that season and played the
next with McAlester and then Kansas
City obtained his services. While the
Kansas City club had him they shipped
him to Omaha, Virginia Bay, Beau
mont and San Antonio before they fin
ally cut the strings and let him go tc
Tulsa.
The Pirates bought him from Tulsa
July Is, 1920, for $4,000. During his
hectic career he has played the out
