STONE MEGALITHS

further excavation and restoration OF

Of Carnac, Brittany
Aligned as perfectly as q vast army
of giant West Point cadets turned to
stone in the midst of intricate mill
tary maneuvers, 2,6l3 of these huge
stone monuments, called menhirs,
spread across the gently rolling Breton
countryside. What they represent, who
built them, when and why, are uues-
tions to which explorers are seeking the
answer.

and protector of horned cattle. When
the saint was finally cornered near the
sea, he took refuge in an ox's ear and
proceeded to turn his pursuerS to stone
in their tracks. Others believe that the
pillars were windbreaks for tents of an
encampment OF Roman legionnaires or
that the monuments mark the burial
ground Of some ancient decisive battle.
But. all superStitiouS beliefs to one
side, the theory expounded by M. lie
Rouxic Is that the niegaliths were set
zap by q Celtic civilization of sun wor-
shippers. Ever reaching out toward the
resting place of their god, the sun, this
prehistoric race migrated ages ago from
Asia, across North Africa, to Spain and
France and finally wound up in Scan
dinavia. While in western chimes, the
Celts gradually became more aglicui-
t,lral, as indicated by the general de-
and weapons found. This change of
character eventually proved their de-
struction, for they were unable to beat
back the all-conquering bronze -sworded
Gauls, who swarmed down from the
north.
Introducing Menhlrs and Dolmens.
The weird megaliths at Carnac and
vicinity may be divided into two general
groups, the menhirs and the dolmens.
The former are tall, elongated stones
usually ranging in height from 3 to 20
feet, which were set up on end by some
strange Herculean power. The dolmens
are sepulchral compartments used for
burial by the ancient people. They are

EFORE he turned out another win
~ ner, Mack and his partners, the
Shibes, spent more than a half million
dollars for talent
They reached the climax when
$106,500 was paid to Jack Dunn of
Baltimore for Robert Moses Grove, the
southpaw pitching star in 1924.
As it turned. out this investment paid
big dividends. After wild season or
two, Grove struck his stride and estab-
lished himself as one of the greatest
lefthanders of all time, the equal If
not the superior of those other two
great southpaws that Mack handled
Rube Waddell and Eddie Plank.
All told, a half dozen stars that
shone in the pennant victory of the
Athletics in 1929 cost the club approx
mately $3.50, 600. Besides Grove, they
included George Earnshaw, Al Sim
mons, Mickey Cochrane, Max Bishop
and Joe Boley. Simmons was pur-
chased from Milwaukee In 1928 for
$4,000, Cochrane for a similar amount
from Portland, Greg, in 1924, the others
all from Baltimore.
These players proved exceptions to a
somewhat general rule that high-priced
players fail to pay the dividends ex-
pected.

WHEN Mack first undertook the task
w of rebuilding virtually an entire
new team in 1915 and for the sue
ceeding few years he felt convinced he
would develop raw material once more.
He said at the time:
II made up my mind to build from
the ground up. I seldom go after a
minor league star, not because OF the
ridiculous price asked for his release,
but because find he is harder to de-
velop to my style Of play than the
inexperienced youth.
I have tried my hand at handling
these high-priced minor league stars
and find that they are too set in their
ways and invariably cannot be broken
of faults which will not tolerate in a
ball player. Nobody knows better than
/ that the fans will not patronize a
losing ball team. I don't ask Ellem,
All want is fair chance. I promised
a powerful team in 1917 and I will
have It,"
The AS of 1917 were last and so were
those of the next four years. Mack not
only found his theories of development
shot to pieces by the changes IN the
times and in player conditions, but he
finally was forced to enter the bidding
or highly-touted minor leaguers.

7 Fan years for the lean

lowed the breakup of this
famous 1904 champions.
They took a heavy toll in
money and prestige. The Phila-

dropped from the top in 1914 to
the bottom of the American
League in 1915 for the first time
in its history of Is years under
Mack's management.
1t not only sank to the depths.
but stayed there. The Athletics,
once a name to strike apprehen-
sion among opponents, became
the joke of the league. The team
occupied the cellar for seven sue
ceSSive years and remained in the
second division for ten seasons. It
looked as though Mack, with the
advancing years and keener COM
petition for promising young
stars, had lost the masters touch.

As consequence 1t took us longer than

The three main reasons for the long
period of depression in the fortunes of
the Athletics were:
First, the Federal League and the
upheaval it caused in organized base
balls ranks, forcing me to break up q
championship team.
Second, the World War, taking so
many of the best players and re-
tarding the production of younger ones
for several years.
Third, the reconstruction and read
