The ability of the worlds cham pion Athletics, manifest so often, to come from behind and win with late-inning rallies has just about convinced Connie Mack he not only has a good team but another great club
 I happened to discuss this with the old master one day recently at 6hibe Park.
 m tell you about yesterdays game" he remarked. "Earnshaw was, pitching against the Browns In the first inning, with Goslin up and two on, he got over two strikes .on a curve and fast one. Then he made the mistake of feeding sGoslin another fast ball and the Goose hit it against the score beard That cost us two runs at the start, and with Lefty Stewart pitching well against us, the eighth inning came around with the score Az in favor of the Browns.
 We seemed beaten, but Cochrane started our rally with a home-run drive Simmons doubled, Foxx doubled and we got four runs to win the game.
 That's the kind of stuff that makes me satisfied this team has greatness. It's always scrapping.
 A fortnight later it was just such Ia rally, in the eighth inning against Washington, that pulled the As out of a bad hole and stopped their slump against the Senators Successive home runs by Cochrane and Simmons enabled the cham pions to win by 10-9. It was a crucial spot. Instead of losing and having their lead cut to 5l2 games the As won and boosted it to 7k
 Then and there, the American League race for 1930 may have been decided, just as it is likely to turn out that Danny Taylor's steal of home for the Cubs against the Giants in the ninth inning of their last game at Chicago settled the National league pennant battle.
 Don't make me laugh by talking about a club getting the breaks said major league veteran to me once. "The team that forces the breaks, gets them. It isn't luck It's fighting spirit"
 Georgia Tech has nothing to wor- " about so far as football tackles are concerned this fall.

 The Waco outfielder in the Tex. ass league, Gene Rye, who cloutee [ three home runs in one wild inning against Beaumont recently, had rival in action the same day-Au' gust Il. Cliff Marker, formel Washington State athlete, collected five homers in as many successiv' times at bat in a double e-heade 
 . between Tacoma and Hoquiam il the Timber league. Marker hi ! four in a row in the first gam and another on his first time a bat in the second contest. Baseball history, however, re veals these feats as nothing t brag about. Ernest Lanigan's Base ball Cyclopedia shows the box SCOT I, of a game between Corsicana an Texarkana in the Texas league July IA, 1902, when Mig Clarke later a star major league catche with Cleveland, hit eight straigh home runs for Corsicana. The Cor sicans all told registered 53 hits an won the game 51 to 3.
