n YEW YORK, June 3.-Seven full

i American League race, the
New York Yankees rightly
may be said to have met the challenge
Of Connie Mack's team to finish

ICED last Winter. Connie directly chal-
lenged the Yanks to a showdown this
season.
"He's right" quoth the fans, ''be-
cause the Yanks are the team he has
to beat if he expects to win"
Connie Mack was even more i'm
pressed with that belief than the fans.
He told his friends that in order to
win the 1927 pennant, any team in
the American League must defeat the
Yankees.
How Connie Viewed II.
'They are young, strong and vigor-
ous," said Connie. Don't take too
much stock in their seeming lack of
pitchers. They may need them, but
the Yanks can hit all the way through
and they will be better ball team
in 1927 than they were in 1926"
Thereupon Connie enlisted Eddie
Collins to replace his second baseman
Max Bishop, who is a chronic victim
of nostalgia; took on Ty Cobb to get
some batting power in the outfield
and some aggressiveness on the bases.

LII Of this talk about the
"A young people of today-what
good is it doing? NONE.
On the other hand consider the
tragic harm it has already done
this talk, talk, talk!
If it pays to advertise" then
the transgressions of our flam.
ing youth have been exploited by
this word-of-mouth advertising
that goes on and on and on.
If everybody who is anybody
at all does so-and-so, then why
shouldn't follow the crowd?" Is
a most natural conclusion for
youthful minds.
In the first place, young people
are no worse than other age peo-
pie. When it comes to drinking
or gambling, or swearing or cheat
ing. or lying or social indiscretions,
Youth has nothing on Middle-Age.
Young people have a wonderful
sense of justice and fairness and
very little taste for scattering the
news of other folks shortcomings.
They keep their mouths shut
about the goings-on of their elders
and the older ones might take
lesson from that-in good sports
manship, if nothing else.
The object of this outburst, how
ever. is to appeal to club women,
church women and all good
