He suggested that the matter be suggested to the BIA for the betterment of the villagers as the matter will take some time.
 The Street Committee reported at the meeting Monday night that 1000 yards of gravel had been hauled on certain back streets where needed and that a new drain had been completed from Kings Way, near the Edman residence to Front St., near the Golden Goose. The old drain had deteriated beyond repair.

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
Mock's Record Losers
Cut From Different Cloth

AS HAS BEEN POINTED OUT earlier

doughty band and no less ambitious as far
as the record book is concerned than E.
well, even the Nets.
And into the record they will go, too, If
they hit the magic number one more time.
Only the Philadelphia Athletics Of 1922
lost so many over three consecutive seasons
IN the American League, historical foot
note which sent us scurrying to the files to
brush up on the CORY details.
Seems that what allied the old AS,
unlike our Senators, was that they had been
too good for their own good. For five
years, starting in 1910, they were the Yam
KEGS of their time, winning four pennants
and losing only in 1912 because of careless
ness and overconfidence.
Old Connie Mack, who both owned and
managed the AS, was distressed. Connie
was in baseball for his hot biscuits. Success
was hurting. Success was costly
&~
AFTER WINNING THE 1914 flag, Mack
announced that his club had lost $50, 900 for
the season. At first, according to the
historians, Connie attributed the drop in
attendance to an electric scoreboard which
the Philadelphia Record introduced at
Broad and Filbert streets.
In The American League Story, how
ever, it is written: s~
But the reason was deeper: The team
and its fans were surfeited with success
Shortly after the stunning loss to the
Braves Tin the IA World Series), word
leaked that Mack had asked waivers on
Bender, Plank and CoombS Connie de-
plored the disclosure but admitted its truth.
He knew that the three pitchers were
headed for the Federal League, he said, and
he wanted to sell them to other clubs"
BY EARLY DECEMBER of IA the public
knew that Mack was serious about breaking
up his powerhouse. He sold the great Eddie
Collins to the White Sox for $4,000. Then,
one by one, Connie got rid Of his other stars.
Home Run Baker, the third baseman,
was shipped to the Yankees, along with Bob
Shawkey; Jack Coombs to Brooklyn, and
Shortstop Jack Barry, Jimmy Walsh and
Herb Pennock to the Boston Red Sox.
Chief Bender jumped to the Baltimore Feds
and Eddie Plank joined the st. Louis
Terriers.
