OentTdl ETcSS SpOEtS EuitoE
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-If those
red hot Philadelphia Athletics, who
have set the American league afire
with their scorching speed. suffer a
sudden chill in the toes and come a
cropper before the pennant grind
ends, Connie Mack. their leader
may find small comfort in the fact
that he has one title safely towed
away.
The Athletics boss seems to have
a full copyright, mechanics lien and
second mortgage on the checkboko
championship Of the junior circuit.
This title was once possessed by
Colonel Jake Rupert Of the second
place Yanks. The colonel in early
days Of Yankee success gave a
three-ring exhibition Of passing out
the greenbacks for baseball ability.
Starting with SIPS 900 to Boston for
Babe Ruth. the good colonel soon
developed writer's cramp signing
drafts on his checking account. He
bought and was paid back in full by
six championships and enormous
crowds.
Since then, however. Mack has
made the colonel look like a hand
cuffed Scotchnsn in a poorhouse.
Connie began peeling off the yell
low-backs by parting with SlG0,600
for Lefty Grove.
This was only a starter. He gave
$4,000 and players for George
Earnsham. $4,000 for Sammy Hale.
$4,000 for Max Bishop and ap-
proXimately like sums for AL Sim
mons, Joe Boley and Mickey Coch-
rane.
All In all the boys now rushing
pennant ward for the glory of the
Quaker City set the tall tutor back
about half a million. And this
doesn't count the money tossed
away on salaries for Iris Speaker.
Ty Cobb and Zach Wheat, who
proved Of little worth to the other
wise young ball club. Noteworthy
also IS the 100000 spent for Paul
Strand. a deal which proved just
too bad.
When Connie Mack began 10
build this ball club Of his he turn
ed a deaf ear to the gibes of those
who thought he vas shooting a
stable fortune up the chimney. No
one then believed even a billion
dollar club could ever top the YAM
KEGS. However. IL begins to look as
though the elongated leader knew
what he a doing.
The Athletics are bringing back
in punches by means Of gate re-
ceipts the treasure 1t took to gath
err them all into the same style uni
forms. And with one pernant and
perhaps several others in the Off
ing. the rash bull movement which
Connie launched in the baseball
lpory market may not only return
his principle but a handsome diff
dend.
Those Athletics cost a sight OF
money but so did the current Yanks,
and the Chicago Cubs are far from
a two-bit outfit. yet Connie Mack
has his boys so far out in front OF
the New Yorks and their six hap
less companions that It isn't ever
funny. incidentally. those costly
costly Cubs haven't shone the class
Of the Mackmen. the Chicagoans,
good as they are, still being en-
gagged IN a desperate fight to prove
