Con nle.Mack and his troupe of trained ath letes who Btarrcd last year In that thrill ing drama cittltled "20,000 Leagues Un der tho Sea" aro prepared to troop out of Jacksonville nt 9 o'clock tonight, ready, eager nnd willing to play another part Irl tho American League act this season. Tired of the cellar role, they wilt step out grace fully nnd nllovv some ono else to bask In the shadow of tho dimmed spotlight. The performers aro not shedding bitter tears of regret over tho retreat from this city. Tho last few days did not mak much of a hit nnd fond .rcmembrnnces of the sunny South will not bo expressed. If anything, they will bo sent by freight, The rain storm Monday and tho refrigerator breezes of yesterday set tho players back to a certain extent nnd now they don't car how soon It Is before they Invade tho north As Ping Bodlo figured It out last night when In n pensive but a soliloquizing mood. Jacksonville Is so much nearer to tho South Pole than Philadelphia that the weather must bo a trifle cooler. Six Left Behind The escapo of the Mackmen was marked by the wrecking of Connie's standing army. Jjlx brave and true soldiers were sent Into exile, while the buglers sounded taps. They wept bitter tears of regret, for now they must face tho cruel world and eke out a living In other lines besides baseball. No strings wero attached to tho hardware that was used on five of tho heroes, but tho sixth. Frank Home, a pitcher, was handed to Jacksonville. His unusual luck leads us to bellevo that he Is left-handed. It Is pos slblo that tho other unfortunates might not bo so unfortunato after all, but It Is too early In the season to make predictions, Tho woll-drllled defenders of our nation In time of peace will stop oft In the metropo lis of Albany, Ga,, tomorrow, where both baseball and the Athletics aro taken serl outly. The Invaders will be handed the keys to the city If thero are such and tho Mayor has declared a half holiday In order to glvo tho voters a chance to compare tho local prides with tho reverse champions of tho circuit. AH of which shows that th Mayor must bo a popular guy. The Line-Up From Albany the troop will hasten to At lanta, vvheio tho finishing touches will ba put on. Four games will be played, and by that time Connie will have a good lino on the men who will draw their pay checks twice a month. The line-up now looks like a sure thing with Bodle, Strunk and Thrasher In the outfield, Mclnnls at first, Lawry or Grover at second, Witt at short. Bates nt third and Haley. Meyer and Schang behind the bat, but something may happen which will upset tho dope and call for a now deal. The flock of tvvirlers. headed by Joe Bush, Myers, Nabors, Jlng Johnson and An derson, Is slowly rounding Into shape, and all Connlo can do Is to hope that they can go the route when the reason opens In a couple of weeks. There was another ball game today, and the evacuation occurred soon thereafter. It Is doubtful If the Athletics come back here next year, despite the contract, which has another year to run. Connie seems to favor a place where summer in winter Is tho real thing without the aid of overcoats.
