The appeayance here of the Athletics comes at a most opportune time for the great battle the club is waging to overcome the Yankees in the American league pennant scramble has taken a firm hold on the baseball public the world over and the local manage- ment expects a capacity house to greet the hard fighting charges of Connie Mack, Mack, himself, will direct his club and he has promised every regular for the game. Since the team will stop off at New Haven during its trip to Boston, even the first string hurlers will be in unifoerm although the tall tacticlan has not promised to pitch Lefty Grove or any of his |aces during the contest. But, every member of the squad will be in uni- form for the game. That means Jim- my Foxx, the new sensation of the league, Al Simmons, robust fence- wrecker, Ossie Orwell, - versatile pitcher, outficlder, tirst baseman, Joe Hauser, Sammy Hale, Jimmy Dykes, Gordon Cochrane, greatest catcher in baseball today, Bing Miller, Mule Haas and the three grand veterans, Ty Cobb, Tris Speak- er and Eddie Collins will all be on hand to take part in the contest. For downright baseball class, it i hard to find the equal of the present Mack brigade. Connie has two full teams, one just about as good as the other, and all these athletes will see some service. Former Eastern laguers in the lineup include Mule Haas, the youthful fly chaser, and Joe Hassler, who starred for Water- bury last season. Every member of team is guaranteed for the ame, that much being included in n iron clad contract which brings the game to New Haven.

Sept. 4 Chicago, (P—"Chesty" | Joie Ray, whose athletic career en- compasses distances from a mile on up to the marathon, is still an ama- teur, despite New York reports that he intends to seek gold where only glory grew before.
