NAME '4THLETICS'' IS LANDMARK
 FOR BASEBALL IN PHILADELPHIA
By JOHN II. REITINGER "A. F. Staff Writcr)

1 PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 8.-eAth- letics," the name by which the new
 American league pennant winners
 to be are generally known, is a
 proud and famous one in Philadel-
 phia baseball history.
 It awakens rich memories of grandfathers and stirs their grand
 sons, for the name Athletics is one
 of the oldest that has ever been
 attached to baseball club, and
 lives today as famous as it did
 when it adorned the shirt fronts of
 baseball hines long before the Civil War.
 Granddaddies still tell of the glories of the Athletics of their youth before baseball was placed on an organized basis and after it came under regulated control. They still tell of the stirring battles in the early sixties.
 There was an Athletic baseball club in Philadelphia as far back as 1860. It was good team, win ming most of it's games against To- cal rivals.
 Musty records show that the Philadelphia Athletics" won the National association championship in 1871 and the American associa- tion championship in 1883, when there was great celebration m Philadelphia and infielder Harry Stovey and pitchers Bobby Ma thews and Jumping Jack" Jones were the heroes.
 With the end of the American association after the 1891 season the name "Athletics" disappear d from the records. but not from the club charter.
 When the present American league came east and fought he National League for fame and for- tune and a club franchise was awarded to Philadelphia, the ques- ton of a name was seriously con- sidered. Lawyers agreed that the name Athletics could not be legally adopted and the club was called the American baseball club of Philadelphia, so that the initials would be the same as Athletic base ball club of Philadelphia and the team could be unofficially called Athletics. This awakened the mem ories of fans of that day and the name stuck, Connie Mack adding lustre to it by winning seven pen nants and three world champion ships.

and Ray were driving happily through the Champs Elysees, watch ing with delight the French kiddies at play and riding the bizarre painted horses of the merry -go- round as it swung merrily round to the tune of "Ta Bouche' churned out by an electric piano.
 Barbara recognized that tune in stantly under the name of "One Kiss" a tune that brought back painfully the memory of the days shortly after Rays disappearance; the days when she had attempted futilely to cover her hurt. How rotten and empty those years had been, like a nightmare, she thought.
 Ray was laughing down at her. Day dreaming, Barbara? The rides over. Want to take another one?"
 But she shook her head and they went back to their taxi.
 Soon they entered the Bois de Boulogne, too happy for conversa- tion as they drove along the wind ing roadway to the Pres Catalin where tea, dancing and cham pagne are all in order any after noon.
 They selected table on the yer anda, and while the waiter was bringing their tea, they danced. It was the first time he had danced with Barbara in three years.
 T can't realize that we're mar ried," he said presently. T seems absurd"
 Its absurd that we weren't mar ried three years ago." she re- piled.

 She flushed slightly and, looking down at her plate, she commenced cutting a piece of cake into minute fragments.
