: Last spring. old Connie Mack, the
tall mentor of the Philadelphia Ath-
%letics, thought he had gathered to-
gether enough material with which
TO cop the American League pennant
only TO have the Yankees make a
farce out Of the race and his efforts.
But Mack hasn't given up. With
his greatly strengthened outfield,
and bolstered pitching staff. Con-
ME Mack hopes to give the Yankees
a more spirited chase this season.
The Mackian outfield is a veteran
one. With the signing Of Iris
Speaker and the return of Ty Cobb
70 the fold, the AS have the distinc-
tion Of being the only baseball team
to unite the efforts Of these two
~luminaries.
Cobb and Speaker were the super
outfielders Of baseball and reigned
together for q dozen or so year IN
til Babe Ruth mounted to and sur
passed their level Of fame. Both men
have passed the double-decade mark
in baseball service but each might
still have a good year left in their
systems.
The third party to the AS stellar
triumvirate is AL Simmons, who was
edged out of last years batting title
by Harry Heilmann, biennial batting
boss of the junior circuit. Harry
wins the title every other year and
last year was his year to cop.
Simmons vas batting 1893 when he
was forced out by his injuries in
mid-season. He was going great at
the time. When he returned to the
lineup Sept. 8, he hit at a .3s2 clip
but that wasn't enough for he was
nosed out by Heilmann on the last
day Of the season when the Detroit
ace collected seven hits out Of nine
trips to the plate during a double
header finale.
In addition to this stellar trio Of
Cobb, Speaker and Simmons, Connie
Mack has a flcck Of oSher capable
outfielders in the southern training
camp.
One Of the best Of this reserve
brigade IS Bing Miller, acquired BY
Connie from St. Louis for Pitcher
Sam Gray in one Of the big trades
Of the off-season.
Then there is Bevo LeBorveau
who hit a .346 clip with the American
association champs, the Toledo Mud
hens, last year. And also George
Mule" Haas, purchased from At
lanta. where he hit 1928, and Miller
Harris, a free agent.
Oswald Orwell, a pitcher-outfield-
er, n Of that rare and useful clan
OF which Babe Ruth was once a mem
Der, can also be depended upon and
for whom Connie paid a large price.
Orwell cracked the sphere at a $40
pace last season with Milwaukee.

Cows Milk Indigestibls

I'm general, cows milk is not as
readily digested by young infants as
is breast milk, although many in
iants can take undiluted cows milk
in approximately the same amounts
as breast milk without digestive dis
turbances. AS there are many III
lants who cannot diges' such an
amount of cows milk, i is usually
necessary to feed smaller amounts
at time, and this is accomplished
by diluting the milk with water.
This insures the baby's taking a
smaller actual amount of milk, even
though the stomach be filled with
the dilute mixture.
THE relative indigestibility Of
cows milk is largely due to the
presence of a buffer substance ca
pable of neatralizing the gastric Juice
and intestinal secretions. An effec-
tive means of eliminating the in
nuence Of the butter substance i1l
cows milk is naturalization with
some form of acid. Tactic acid is
especially suitable for this purpose.
If cows milk is soured by the
growth of Tactic acid producing or
ganisms, such as the Bacillus acid
ophilus, or the Bulgarian bacillus,
or if sterilized COW 5 Tx is acidi-
fed by the additio # a small
amount of pure Tactic acid, the milk
becomes approximately as digestible
as breast milk. and can be fed safely
without d,lu,;on even to young in
fants up to e stomach capacity"

Cheaper Gasoline
(By Carter Wormeley)

Richmond, Va, Dec. 1.-The
action of the General Assembly
of. Vorginia at it's 1928 session,
requesting the large oil and
gasoline companies to submit
upon request their prices of gas
in other States to the Governor
of Virginia in an effort to stand
ardize the price of gasoline, has
been indicated by the action of
the Standard Oil Company in
it's recent reduction of the whole
sale tank wagon price of one
cent. Previously there had been
certain trade rebates which
ranged from one to two cents
and, in many cases, went as
high as four cents, which were
reflected in the retail price OF
gasoline.
The Standard Oil Company
by fixing it's tank wagon price
at twenty cents and it's filling
station price at twenty-three
cents has led the way for the
other oil companies to fall in
line and give the consumer the
benefit, and there should be a
general reduction all over the
State in Standard gasoline to
twenty -threee cents or lower.
This one-cent reduction will
