whom the Big Train most admires in
base ball.
Connie Mack, what wonderful fell

man whose smoke ball used to blind

boys than he is a manager. Why, they'll
scarcely buy hat without asking his
advice. That's how I'd like my players
to feel toward me-"
Means What He Says.
He means it, deeply, and he is doing
everything in his power to make his
boys like him and play their hearts out
for him. He did not bring his family
to training camp, so is free to spend
his entire time with the team.
