Connie Mack, the constant build er, popped up with world champion ship teams in 19l0-11.
 With Harry Davis still stationed 1t first base, Connie filled his in- field with young stars. Eddie Col lins, Jack Barry and Frank (Home Rum Baker, the Babe Ruth of his day. Jack Coombs shared hurling honors with Eddie Plank and Chief Bender.
 The As won easily in 1910, Al, the Chicago Cubs only victory coming on a 10-inning decision gained by Mordecai (Three Fin yered Brown. Coombs equalled Christy Mathewson's string of three victories.
 The Athletics added John (Stuf- fy) McInnis at first base in 1911 and created the $100,00O infield The Giants paced the National league with such stars as Doyle, Merkle, Fletcher and Herzog, with Ames and Rube Marquard pitching along side Matty. The As won, 4-2, with Matty losing two games. Matty sent the Giants out front with tri- umph in the opening battle.
 This was the first of three suc- cessive appearances by the Giants. and as many defeats. in the fall classic. The Boston Red Sox, with Smoky Joe" Wood pitching and an outfield that ranks with the best of all time Duffy Lewis, Iris Speaker, and Harry Hooper-won 4-3 in 1912 with one tie game C11 innings).
 This fought series is re- membered chiefly for costly er- TOT, the dropping of fly ball by Fred Snodgrass performance that aided Boston in winning the final game. This became known as the $30,O0O huff, as it represented the difference between shares of receipts of the winning and losing teams.
 The Giants were easy pickings for the Philadelphia As in 1913, New Works only triumph coming on Matty's 10-inning shutout.

DELAYED BY NUTS, OIL

A sample recoil system was sent to the U. S. under heavy guard, accompanied by two French me- chanics. But they knew only part of the mystery. By this time it was August, four months after U. s entry into the war In October trusted U S. mechanics and army officers were sent to France to study in the secret arsenal
 So cautious were the French that they allowed only one me- chanic to enter at first, then others followed. By February 2. 1918 they returned with full data and plans.
 There was more relay. Nuts and bolts were threaded differently in France and tools were different French experts insisted nothing should be changed A special oil had to be found in America to fill the recoil mechanism.
 U. s. mechanics ultimately built and assembled one gun by machine iHttllOuo. lIlc TltilCii lloti uItOi . had them take it down and assem- ble it by hand. Months had passed. U. s. artillery regiments were de- pendent on French manufacture which heroically supplied five guns a day.
 On November l, 1918 eleven days before the armistice, the first gun was assembled. It worked. But it never fired a shot in the war
 Now the U. s. makes all it's 75s. It has put them on rubber tires so they can be hauled across country at 30 miles an hour compared with the old speed of six With i'm proved ammunition and a higher angle of fire, the gun now shoots l3,O00 yards, against 7,500 before The secret recuperator, however, is the same.
 That is the story Of how long it took skilled American craftsmen to get on a war basis with new weapon. The sample orders now being distributed by the army are designed to teach workmen in a few selected factories how to get started faster on such things as the new semi automatic rifle, anti aircraft guns, gas masks, search lights and shells for Mademoiselle 75.

HENDAYE. France, Aug. 2e.-The
Spanish government reported today
that Gen. Jose Asensio's southern
army had driven within less than q
mile of Castuera, insurgent base on
the Estremadura front.
The militiamen were said to have
cut the trunk line railroad running
from Castuera to Cabeza del Buey, 20
miles to the east, and to be threaten
ing to cut insurgent advance units
leading the drive on the rich Almaden
mercury mines
The only link left between the in
surgent base and Gen Gonzalo Queipo
de Llano's extended advance positions
at Cabeza del Buey was a highway
which was said to be under rife fire.
Government reports said Gen. As
ensio's troops had gained nearly IS
miles since they started their counter
offensive to protect the Almaden mines
10 days ago and had recaptured vir-
tually all the territory between the
Zujar River and the railroad lost Aug
uSt !.
On the Ebro front in eastern Spain,
dispatches from both sides reported
local gains, but the situation seemed
little changed after a week Of insurgent
efforts to wipe out the government's
salient in the Gandesa sector.
Government advices said the in
surgent drive on this front was dimin-
ishing in force after q week Of ter.
rife fighting.

Senator Sheppard said the question

sion, would be considered at the Sep
tember meeting of the committee
He said also there was question
whether the candidate who received

Senator Sheppard said he would

j. Hampton Magruder, Maryland COL
lector Of internal revenue, that he
would support Representative David
J. Lewis, who is contesting with
Senator Millard F. Tydings for the
Democratic senatorial nomination in
Maryland
Mr. Magruder was reported to have
called in non-civil service employees
of the Internal Revenue Department
and to have told them they could vote
as they pleased, but that he was sup

Senator Sheppard said he wished
to look into the possibility that Mr.

whether the prohibition against such

Conflict between Christian
churches and Nazt regime in Ger
many frequent since 1888, ,ohen
latter came to power. Nazis in
stst that destintes OF individual per-
sons are subject to Uill of the
state: churches claim right to guide
spiritual lite OF their members.
Clashes most frequent With Cath
ottcs as result of Pope Plus out
spoken opposition to Nazi theories.
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. Aug. ga propaganda
ministry spokesman today branded as
nonsense charges made by Ger.
many's Roman Catholic hierarchy in
pastoral letter that efforts were be-
ing made in Germany to destroy the
church.
"All one has to do" the spokesman
said, lis to compare what the Ger
man state has done fol the Catholic
Church. The government is paying
millions Of marks annually to the
church and the fact that the reading
of the letter was possible clearly DEM
onstrates that there can be no talk
about persecution.
The government itself has the
most earnest desire t. protect the
church from anti-religious demonstra-
tions.''
Publications Banned.
As evidence of this ne cited the fact
that the government had Tanned q
number of publications adhering to an
anti-religious policy.
Answering the bishops charge that
unparalleled, ugly, concentric attacks
and outrages" were used against
Bishop Johann Sprou who was ex-
PEELED from Wurttemoeig last Thurs
day, the spokesman said the Nazis had
acted solely to protect the bishop.
"Sproll, who was German :ltizen,
violated one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of German citizenship by not
participating in the April 10 plebiscite
Ton union of Austria with Germany, -
he declared.
This naturally led to demonstra-
tions against the bishop, increasing in
seriousness after the bishop returned
to the diocese after a temporary
absence. To prevent the anti-Sproll
tendency from gaining greater mo-
mentum. the authorities were forced
to expel the bishop from Wurttem-
berg"
Nazis Not Mentioned.
The letter. formulated at recent
conference of bishops at Fulda and
read from pulpits yesterday, did not
mention the Nazis by name.
1t appealed for cessation Of the
"battle against Christendom because
this very strife is causing a deep rift
among the German people" and de-
clared thousands of Catholics were
asking whether they still we're "citi-
zens with equal right notwithstanding
their avowal of the common veal and
fidelity to the state"
The letter was completely ignored
by the Na1-controlled press and gov
eminent radio, so its contents were
known only to church-goers.
