"Uft youthful athlete were in rare
-' lowing tlio vnrntinn hnmlctl tlirni jcitordiiy by Connie
Mack, A wandering ralntnrm horiipil in without any ad-
Tanco notice and the pluKKliie pilot told the plnyrra to
Jtcep nwn.v from thp bnllp.irk bpcnup lip hnd bom tipped
.off that a fpw of Ids' collar stars couldn't swim n llrk.
No imllznntton meetings wore hold following this order
bccatiHC If here Is anything tho bull players like better
than a vacation It Ir two vacation. Therefore, n rainy
day was upent in thp training camp.
Italny dnjs are wonderful Institution! in this section
of tho country because the front porch of the hotel in
wide and spacious and the roof Is In no way similar to
the top of the Phillies' israndstaud. There Nn't n leak in
the place. For that reason evprjhody acted as they do
in Now .calami in wet weather. The) let It rain.
, Connie, surrounded by some of the hard-working
cribrs, entertained on the front porch of the Majestic
Hotel In the morning. It n an ideal spot for conversa
tional purposes, but that's all there was to do. The de
serted street, the heavy downpour anil tho murky weather,
to fay nothing of the closed movie theatres, made the
audience and principal speaker stick around for self. de
fense. "So Frank linker has decided to go back to the
Yankees," mused Connie after Rotting nn eye full of the
sport page of a New Orleans paper which had been left on
a chair by n careless traveling man. "Frank will be a
great help to tho New York club despite his two j oars'
layoff. He is not so old. He alwajs Imq taken good care
of himself anil if ho makes up his mind to play b.ieball
be will do better than any other third baseman they could
let. He isn't more than thirty-four or ihirty-llve oars
old nnd has the strength and endurance of a man in tho
twenties. He never dissipated. Ihod In the open on
his farm nt Trappe and will not need much work to get in
playing form.

This Is Unusual, Connie Is Silent
fPHKN Connie lapsed Into silence. He had spoken nn
- armful. This brought back memories of the past when
the home-run king was monarch of all he survejed In tho
American League. He used to hit as many homo runs in
a season as llabe Ttutli now turns in every month, but it
was great work In those days nnd tho fans placed him ou
the pedegtnl Bambino now occupies.
The world loves a slugger nnd IlaKcr was one of those
things. After lenlng the Athletics, Frank did not sot tho
world on fire. He did only mediocre work for the
Yankees, cracked n couple of ribs while speeding toward
the grandstand to snare a foul, got in bad with Dill Don
ovan because he did not take his woik seriously and finally
passed out of the picture with the announcement that lie
was through with baseball for all time.
Raker is a peculiar person. He likes to piny tho game,
despite his annual retirements, nnd when playing with tho
semipros comes in for his split of the purse. One fall he
toured Delaware and Mnrvland with Herog's team and
received as nuHi as ?1."," per game. When the split
dropped below a dollar ho quit, aiug his time was worth
more thau that. Another paradoxical angle Is Frank's
statement that he doesn't like the training trips or tho
constant riding on the trains. Ho should be accustomed
to the small towns in the South or nn other section of
the country because Trappe isn't what one might call a
thriving, busy, noisy and seething metropolis. Anybodj
coming from that town would kick at tho noisp at Iletz
wood, Pa., and that constant riding on the train excuse
can come in for n brief discussion. Trappe is blessed with
a singlc-trnok system which proided two trains per dny
going' nnd coming. F.very time Ttnki-r plnved a game of
baseball all he had to do was catch a train at 4 or ."J in

the same night, traveling part of tho way on tho train and
the rest In an automobile. Ho would hit the hay about

of profiteering, lie is expected in Shrrveport on

Bettor Too Soon Than Too Late
to talk about a baseball club one
on paper the Yanks have one of tho
wickedest aggregations that ever was smeared over a
sport page, .lust grab nn eyeful of the bnttlug order:
Ilodie. Uuth nnd Until In the outfield: Pecklnpnugh,
linker, Hobby Mouse! nnd Ward or Fewster In the In
field, nnd Wnlly Schang liehlnd the bnt. That gang if
fence-busters should make the other pitchers in the league
have nightmares even nt this early dnte.
It's tho greatest hitting team wo have had In years,
nnd if the Yanks don't win the pennant this senson there
is absolutely no hope In tho future. This prediction,
however, is subject to change without notice because we
haven't seen the New Yorkers perform jet. Hnlny-day
dope that's that.
Connie Interrupted our train of thought when he came
out of his reverie nnd said:
"For a time I thought 'Washington would get Tinker,
nnd when I rend that (irltnth hnd pnid $.'0,000 for him
I considered It n master stroke. That much money for
Hakor at this time Is not too exorbitant, for he would
strengthen the club, give Ctrlff a drawing card and he
could cash in nt the gate. It looks like anybody's race
in the American League this jear. and Washington would
hnvp as good a ehnnoo as any other club. Also, linker's
presence would help the league."
"How about llrower, who was purchased from Head
ing for $20,000 last year?" Connie wns asked.
"I don't know." replied the talkative tutor. "Looks
as if drift is wondering where he can piny him this yenr.
First base is tnken care of by .lodge and the only place
left is the outfield. Ho might be used there.

Connie folded up Ihc same paper which had been
deserted by a traveling man, walked into the hotel
and told the pitchevs and catchers to take tiro shower
baths in the afternoon one during and the other
after practice.

chance. Connie told him thnt personally ho wouldn't have
tho slightest objection to killing the fatted calf nnd make
the pitcher feel as good as the Prodigal Son on the Inst
lap. But. added Mr. Mack, the ruling powers of base

All That Counts
Tim main things that count In n
managerial way ore ability to Im
part instruction nnd uevciopmom and
tho knnck of keeping a club hustling
through tho ivcury six months' grind.
It mnv seem easy work, but even golf,
which is a much less strenuous gam,
brings on its stnlcncfs and moments of
lnssltude to any one attempting to play
every dny from early April to October.
nig league ball players now average
thirty exhibition games nnd 104 league
games with vlrtiinllr no Intermissions.
If things break badly tho zest of pas
timing Is likely to disappear quickly
In tho heated senson, nnd It is here that
tnanngcrs such as Speaker and Robin
son, with strong personal magnetism,
nre invaluable at keeping their men
worked up.
MrOraw in the old days could do it by
driving. Mnck by leading. Hut they
both secured results.
Minus Three of Big Four
IP WE hnd to name tho Wg Four of
American golf today the quartet
would embrace "Chick" Bvann.
Francis Ouimet, Hobby Jones and Hob
Gardner.
And now it begins to look as If Cap
tnln Hill Fowncs had to nssnil the Brit.
Ih golfing lion upon his txittve heath
with three of the big four missing.
Kvnns. Ouimet and Gardner seem to
be out of the picture. And It so hap
pens thnt Evans, Ouimet nnd Gardner
have won every amateur championship
over here since 1013, with one lone ex
ception. With these three nnnble to swap
mnshle shots with British stars, the
brunt of the nttnek will fall upon Bobby
Jones, who will be tnklng hla first trip
over.
.Tones is certainly a better golfer
thnn Tolley, Armour, Hope and
Wcthered, who came over last fall, but
one star, of course, hnsn't the chance
