THINKS A'S STRONG ENOUGH T0 REPEAT Connie Regards the 191270o Team, Which Lost to Red | & Sox, as His Greatest. BY CONNIE MACK, Manager Philadeiphia Athletics. NE manager who is not looking for any soft going in the American League pennant race the coming| season is myself. While we won | the pennant and world series last | year, I have known from cruel experience that in base ball| nothing can be taken for granted. | I can remember well, after the Ath- | letics won pennants in 1910 and 1911, that at the start of the 1912 season, for the first and only time in my life, I felt | that we were sure to win. During my long career in the | majors I have piloted a number of truly great teams, but I am frank to say that 1 still regard the team that started the season of 1912 as the greatest I ever had. In 1910 the team ‘was in the making. We won the pen- nant and then took the world series by beating fl'umsig« % posedly invincible . Cubs rather handi- ks e ly. The club re- Connle Mack | peated in 1911 by | winning another pennant and then de- | feating the New York Giants for the| world title. Those two years had 80 developed the club that I felt the team I would manage in 1912 would be by far the greatest aggregation that ever | represented Philadelphia, and almost uJ"' =] ch to win the pennant. dl;mheld of the Afileflm. the Boston | Red Sox won the 1912 pennant and world series, defeating the New York Giants.

CHICAGO, February 24.—Undefeated in six Conference games, and traveling at a swift clip, Purdue's basket ball team this week will go into the stretch of the Big Ten championship race lead- ing by two games. Wednesday Northwestern will invade Lafayette, Ind., and Purdue will meet Minnesota Saturday night. Seven contests will be decided, open- ing with Wisconsin at Illinois tonight. Chicago will meet Michigan at Ann Arbor Tuesday night. The remainder of Saturday’s schedule will include Michigan at Illinois, Ohio State at Indiana and Chicago playing North- western at Evanston. Purdue scored a 42-t0-24 victory over Minnesota Saturday night and bene- fitted by Chicago's surprise 23-to-21 decision over Wisconsin. Michigan moved into a tie with Wisconsin for second place, each with five victories and two defeats, by defeating Indiana, 21 to 18, at Bleomington. Northwestern | destroyed Illinols’ hopes by taking a 34-t0-32 decision at Champaign. Averaging better than 12 points & game in eight Big Ten basket ball con- tests, Branch McCracken, Indiana center, today still was leading the in- dividual scoring race with 98 points. MecCracken had a 13 point lead over Charles “Stretch” Murphy, Purdue center.

NINETEEN LODGES STILL IN RUNNING Handicap ~System Makes| Rage Close, With Leadership{ Changing Nine Times. BY RAY CROSS. ITH 27 games to go Hiram Lodge has nosed | | to the front again in the | Masonic League after many long weeks of fighting and from the looks of things never | will be headed. I base this opin- |fon on the Hiram averages and | |the team’s never-say-die spirit. | This lodge has three bowlers in Meany, Mertz and Simon that no other team in the league can equal in some respects, and Capt. Shomo deserves a good deal of credit for getting this team to- He has in Lonnie Krauss a reserve man whose ability com- pares favorably with that of any of the regulars. No less than 7 teams have been in the leading position this year and 19 still have mathematical ~chances. Without the handicap system, however, the race would have been a runaway, no doubt, with two or three teams having all the fun. Tail-Ender Fights. The teams all the way down to the tail-ender, Silver Spring, are making every effort to keep the race close. A couple weeks ago Silver Spring turned on St. John's and took all three games when the latter had a chance to go into first place. St. John's is handicapped by the failure of Earl Keeler to bowl up to his past standard plus the loss of Silverberg. When Earl does start spilling those pins St. John's will be plenty tough. After watching Stansbury closely for m is passing up a gold- en opportunity with Earl Lewis, always a star, on the side lines and putting his faith in his teammates. New Jerusalem, while having no out- fight—and is never beaten until Jacobs has delivered the last ball, How well the other teams know it! La Fayette is making a determined bid for its old honors, and with the sorrel- topped Megaw back doesn't figure to make an evening pleasant for anybody it opposes. Arthur Urban might be of help to La Fayette in this stretch drive. Malcom Watson, the captain, is of considerable ald for his return to old-time form has been one of the features of his teams performance. Naval, another team that once held the load has come out of a slump and with Wondrack displacing Gray has taken on a new lease of life. Centen- nial is having an in-and-out year— Folger bowling better and Webb drop- ping below his usual standard. Cen- tennial has lost & man in Hap Burtner who can't be replaced, and who was a credit to the game—a model bowler and gentlema King David undoubtedly will feel the loss of Earl Stocking, who, due to illness and business pressure has retired from competition. Takoma has picked up a gold mine in Needle and to my knowl- edge it is the first time that a man the first year of bowling in the league was able to shoot a 400 set. Stoner Ties Rosenberg. Carl Stoner of Singleton has dupli- cated the feat of Maxie Rosenberg in shooting two 400 sets in one season, 410 and 425. Larcombe of Brightwood is trying hard to hit the 400 mark, shooting 398 several months ago and missing last week when he failed to om‘mt enough on a last box spare and 8o . Fredericks, 2 newcomer with Acacia is _a bowler of the type who would strtbngthen any team in the league. He's at the top of the spare list, although sporting an average of a little over 110. e is cool under fire and when a spare is needed it is a pleasure to watch him. Although Osiris is far down the column, Sherbahm deserves a great deal of credit for when circumstances seemed to be such that the team would be dis- banded he jumped into the breach and gathered & practically. green team around him and it has started to click, winning 12 of the last 15 games. Whiting had somewhat the same ex- perience. Barrister, another leader of the race not many weeks ago seemes to have come out of its slump and with the return of Leo Speer should fight it out to the end. Many changes are ex- pected this week with all teams rolling six games, Harmony has a good team but seems to lack pep and those who have followed the league for years will remember with a smile the yells that Henry Rodier used to let loose whenever 8 mark was made. Big Supplee and Rice were also with the team then, eye trouble causing Supplee’s retirement, SCHOLASTIC SPORTS PROGRAM THIS WEEK TODAY. Gonzaga Lightweights vs. s Lightweights, sl Eplis.eopll.

ROBINS MAY GET ALONG WITHOUT JIM FAULKNER CLEARWATER, Fla, February 24 () —Scarcity of left-handed pitchers in the ranks of the Brooklyn Dodgers scem to be the big motive back of the holdout of Jim _Faulkner, southpaw, drafted from Buffalo last Fall. Faulk- ner, according to club officials, seeits a salary of about $12,000, a big price even for first-rate experienced pitchers. Willlam Watson Clark, who with the ailing Jim Elllott, forms the left-hand- ed department of the pitching staff, is getting only $10,000 a year. f Faulkner doesn't modify his de- mands quickly the club plans to send him back to Buffalo.
