Member of Connie Mack's
Athletics Just Couldn't
Stay Single for Love and
Money.
Vrmarrleil rhimplon baseball men arc now In

ber of Connie Mack's Athletic?. Kuue
Oldrlng, who last year bought a farm
in South Jersey, much to the mystifica
tion of his fellows, has admitted Unit
after lm bis aeries la ended ho will
marry Miss tlanna Thomas, daughter of
Jdr. and Mrs. Clark Thomas, who live
near Urldccton, X. J.
The little Rod or love Is now diligently
lit work on the three rcnialnltiR members
of the Athletics who so far hate repulsed
Ills effort-". They nie Amos ritrunk, IM
dls Murphy and Eddie I'lank. The last
veteran Is looked upon by most of his
teammates as a conllinvd bachelor, but
onlv time will tell.
Strunk and Mutphy are lecarded more
susceptible to the wiles of Cupid, but
If the have been affected, they arc
keeping It iiulet. Hoth are the leclpienti
of much badinage from their fellow
players.
Th married men on the te im are
Cupid's best allies They have almost
as much Inllucnce as tho World's Seiles.
Nearly evorv venr when the Athletics
finally clinch the pennant, there have
been announcements of wedding"? 1m
jiendlng. The thought of so much money
In a lump sum seems to tuin the base
ball players' thoughts Into domestic chan
nels. Perhaps they want help to spend
the money.
Once a ball player becomes engaged and
lets his teammates in on the secret, he
drops his attitude of secrecy and works
every moment for Cupid. At every op
portunlt.v he seeks out the unengaged
men. and dilates to I hem upon the joys
of a life of connubial bliss. Of course, he
13 lauchcd at .-ometlmes, but he Is Im
pervious to ridicule or anger.
The announcement of Oldrlng's Impend
ing wedding, coming so .soon after "Bob"
fdiawkey had djcl ired his Intention of
innrr.vinr the former Mrs. Herbert Mason
Clapp, proved a great surprise to tho
members of the Atnletlcs. Oldrlng was
thought to be almost as heavily armored
against the darts of e'upld as Eddie)
riunk. The latter will have the time of
Ills life during th world's series denying
lumors that he Is to be married unless
they happen to be tin.

MAYOR DEMANDS IRON RULES
TO STOP STREET ACCIDENTS
Complete Stops of Autos Near Stand
ing Trolleys to Be Insisted Upon.
As the result of the many accidents of
the last few days, Mayor Blankenbuig
will hold a consultation with Director
Porter to decide upon radical measures
to prevent avoidable fatalities.
An explanation of laxity In traffic disci
pline, which resulted In the death of
three children yesterday and Injuries to
many pedestrians from trolleys and autos,
Is demanded by the Mayor. Tho rule
which catls for nutomoblles to stop at
the near side of all streets where trolley
cars are standing has been a joke for
many of the more reckless drivers. This
rule will be made ironbound.
If several of the drivers who have been
disregarding this order are arrested and
given several days to think It over In
prison, the habit of passing a trolley
car that is at a standstill might be
broken up, and more protection given
the pedestrians, Director Porter believes.
Most of the accidents to children are
cauted by auto drivers tunning past
street corners at Just the same rate of
speed employed in the middle of a block,
aud in some Instances more speed Is
added when a complete stop should be
made.
With the meeting of the Mayor and the
Director of Public Safety more rigid
rules favoring those who must go afoot
will be Issued.

Brovvn, a nephew of the late J. Pler
pont Morgan. When Miss Mary Ludlow
