By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.
Connie Mack, though now In the dol
' drums of baseball, has snown far too
great a Skill In the paat to convince
.folks that his Athletics will long remain
the league chocolate cake. 'Before now
Connie haa taken hold of an outilt made
un wholly of tatterdemalions and haa
evolved from It a world's champion. He
(did not always have Mclnnos, Collins,
Barry, and Baker. Ho had to get them
from here and there, and weld out or
them a famous "J100.000 Infield." Those
who know Connlo best are willing to
Jaank on his ability to repeat.
.Today the Mackmen are In the throes
r of transition and there Is no telling
i.what the line-up will be a few montha
ilrom now. The tall tactician Is not
IVolng to alt tight land watch his collec
tion taking dally trimmings without do
ing his best to turn the tables.
' Two strango faces will be seen In the
Mackmen's Intteld. At short Is a young
ster. Witt, who has fought his way to
recognition alnco reporting at the train
ing camp. Crane, last year with Rich
mond, was supposed to have the Job
cinched, but Wilt came along and took
It away from him. .
. Charlie Pick, laat spring with the
Griffs, later with the Richmond lntcr-
nationals, is holding down third base.
He Is not a stellar llelder, by any
means, but ho can hit that applo. As
I- long as lick continues to sting the
ball he'll hang on with the Mackmen.
The outnold, with Oldrlng, Strunk.
and Walsh, looks much the same aa or
yore. The reconstruction hasn't hit the
garden trio yot, though It will In time.
Pitchers and catchers Is one of Con
ine's greatest need. With Wollte
SchiinK unnolo to play, the backrtnp
ping devolves upon Murphy sr.d
Meyer, two youngsters, who have hvn
doing surprisingly good work, thl
spring. But they Inck experlenco and
this may prove costly. .
Bush, labors and Myers are the only
twlrlcrs who liuvo been hotdlt.g their
own this aprlng so far, though Mtnot
Crowell. former Brown university star,
is developing rapidly an, should be up
nround the top when the end comes.
Connlo is content to experiment this
year and possibly next year, but by
that time he will have picked a. real
tram or will have retired from tho na
tional psstlma.

Three tfew Outfits Are
Seen in Central League
'iNDJANATOUS, April 26. Deter
mined to reap some of the benefits of
harmonized baseball, tho Central League
opened Its season today In four cities.
Despite a disastrous season, financially.
In 1916, tho league presented its full
quota of eight cities, although among
them were threo new faces.
Evansvlllo, last year's champs: Terre
Haute, Dayton, Ohio, and Wheeling, W.
Va., played host today to Muskegon,
Houth Bend, Springfield, Ohio, and
Grand Rapids.
South Bend. Muskeffon and Snrlnr-
fleld displace Fort Wayne, Erie and
Youngstown in tho league's roster.
Evansvlllo was the only club last year
to make a profit. Tho league graduated
from the six-city class in 191s. In 1914,
with six clubs, there wco five contend
ers for the pennant.

Woodland
Fight on Ouimet Casel
Friends of Great Amateur Players Inclined to Rebel
Against Latest ActionToday's Sportorial
'On Some Topics You'll Read. ,
By LOUIS A-
Before Francis Oulmct Is barred
from all participation In amateur
golf tournaments, there may be a
vigorous flht carried on hv the
Woodland Golf Club against the
mandate of President Wnodrow- of
'the IT, 8. O. A.,
"Wo ' may notify the exeputlve
committee of the U, S. O. A. that-we
nronose to run our club n we see
-fit." was the reply of President Fol
snm. of the Woodland Club. to. a
Question as to what would bo tho
action of Oulmet's club members.
However, no action will be taken
bv Woodland until after Mnv 1. One
of tho board of directors. Charles F.
Lancaster. Is In the West, and will
not return to Boston until next
month. On his return a meeting will
be held, and some action taken.
Irrespective of the action of tho
hoard. Woodland Club members nro
Incensed at the mandate of tho na
tional executive, committee In barring
Ouimet. Thev foci that Oulmct Is
being discriminated against bv the
national officers, and some of the
.younnoc members nre strong for
withdrawing from the U. 8. G. A.
Secretary French, rff Woodland,
haa written to Secretniy Howard F.
Whltnev. of the national bodv. for
a copy of the record of the official
action with respect to taking Oul
met's name from the list of amateur
golfers. French has demanded a
more complete explanation of the ex
ecutive committee's action.
Ouimet has the outspoken svm-
Sathv of most golfers overvwhere.
ut It Is seething at Woodland. Out
met learned his coif as a caddie at
the Brookllne Country Club. As soon
as he was old enough he obtained
a place In a snorting goods house.
This was long before ho attained
any prominence as a irolfer.
Throughout his career as a cham
pion he was still identified with
this namo sporting goods houso,
though no attempt was made to
publish this Information broadcast
for- the benefit of the business.
Finally, along camo King Oppor
tunity. With his friend,' John II.
Sullivan, Jr., Ouimet has embark
cd on a sporting goods business of
hla own. It Is the only business he
thoroughly understands. Immedi
ately ho Is barred from amateur
tournaments. He has given out no
statement, but hla friends are rally
ing to his assistance by the hun
dreds In New England.
i
Chance For Lowe.
Mel Coogan, tho, Brooklyn light
weight, wants to hox Tommy Lows
at Ardmore. Furthermore, Coogan
writes mo that he Is willing to post

May Try to

ttSO nsfn aide bet to be covered by
Lowe or any of Iowe'a friends.
7f the Ardmore management la
looking for a real battle, with the
participants, of equal caliber. It
might be well to look Into the claims
of Coogan.
"I have been trying to get on
with Tommy Lowe." writes Coogan.
"In his home city ever since I fought
him a twenty-round draw at Bvan
nsTI. I was sick that night, but
the beat he could get waa a draw.
In our fifteen-round bout, all tha
papcra gave me the honors."
It strikes an outsider that a bout
between Lowe and Coogan would be
far better than one between Lowe
and Freddie Welsh', or between a
hss-been and a preliminary boy,
Gllege""Wonders."
Kddlo Mahan, tho Harvard pitcher
and football star, Is wanted by both
thg Braves and Yankees, comes the
report.
College pitchers seem fated seldom to
shine In big league circles. Now and
thn they hang around for a year or
two, but are then uoomed to the
minors or some other line ot busi
ness. When Walter Clarkson was at
Harvard he was the greatest college
pitcher of hla day. He proved a sd

"bloomer" with the New York High
landers. "Toots" Schultz, of Pennsylvania,
Is tho latest college wonder to be
come a nivver In the big show.
Eppa Rtxey has never done much
for the Phillies, though he Is still
wltn them. -
Ati matter of fact, college pitch
ers are a huge gamble. n Christy
Mathewaon, from Buckncll, made
good after a abort experience in, the
Virginia League. Jack Coombs, of
Colby, and Chief Bender, of Carlisle,
ahone from the start. Mlko1 Lynch,
of frown, succeeded with the Plr
atej. But there Is no banking upon Eddlo
Mahan. Why. the other day Cath
olic University whaled htm and the
Brooklanders hardly class as hitters
with major league players.
S.tlng Is Still There.
When Pat Moran signed Claude
Cooper, an ex-Fed outfielder, some
body wrote that In did so on a tip
from Chief Bender, also an ex-Fed.
Now comes Moran with a hasty
and complete denial that It was on
Bender's tip that he signed Cooper.
Moran doesn't care to risk foment
ing trouble In the ranks by having It
known that one ex-Fed is trying to
get another Into the fold.
That Federal League sting is still
ther.

Secretary Donovan Fails to
Have Accounts in Condition
for Final Aot.
That the checks for the winners In (he
A. C.'n. A. tourney, just concluded, are,
signed ftr.C addressed ready for malting
hut are being held up pending tho final
official audit by the AUantlo Coast
Bowling Association, was stated this
morning by Tom' arant, secretary of
the Washington Tournament Cojnpany.
It Is ssld that tho checks were about
to he mailed the tatter part of list
weolf, when It was discovered that the
official audit, necessary under the con
stitution of the association, had not
been completed.
John J, Donovan, secretary of the A.
C. r- A., upon whom the duty of mak
ing1 thff audit devolved, left town for
Boston Friday night, It Is said, without
completing tho check-up or making any
announcement to this effect.
Secretory Grant got on the wire Sun
day. In an effort to reach Donovan and
locato the official score books, which
disappeared with the national secretary.
Receiving no answer. Grant wired to'
Boston again Monday, and still again
yesterday morning.
Aftrr dispatching his last wlro. Grant
received a reply from Donovan to the
effect that 'he had turned the spore
books over to the porter of tho Metro
politan Hotel in this city before leaving
town with', Instructions to forward them
by express to Boston. Donovan said
thnt he had not received the books as
yet.
Upon looking up the porter at the
Metropolitan. Grant was Informed that
the books were expressed on Saturday
night. Following this up, the local
management got in touch with the ex
press company, where, after a review
.of the books, it waa found that the
mlsaing score-sheets arrived In the Hub
Monday.
In explanation of the fact that the
books reached Boston Monday put the
national secretary had heard nothing
from them up to, the time he wired
yesterday, it is said that Donovan Is
thought to have been1 out of town on a
Caning trip, which he Was known to
have planned.
Aa soon aa the score books can be"
properly re-audited, either here or in
Boston, the checks will be mailed with1
out delay.
The national secretary waa defeated
for re-election at the recent convention
ot tho A. C. B. A., held here. Thomas
... June, oi nuiaaeipnia, was elected
tq aucceed him for the enauing year.
"BUMPS" TURNER IN
GAYETY BOUT TODAY
Zerega Too Heavy for Oriental
Wrestler at flight Bout.
."Humps" Turner, brother of Joe
Turner, and well known as a heavy
weight wrestler, will bo pitted against
KIo Takeuchl, the Japanese wrestler,
who is taking on all comers at tho
Oayety this week. Turner Is down to
weight, and can be expected to give tho
hustling Jap all ho Is looking for In to
night's match which will be staged
after the regular performance?
Jfack Boland and Soldier Leonard
firovtd rather easy picking for the vlsiu
ug wrestler on the opening day at the
Uayety. Yesterday Louis irexa went
aga'nst KIo and waa too much for tho
smaller man.
Zerega worked at the same style of
game as that used by the Jap, and when
KIo attempted his sclssbrs hold Uerega
threw him with sucn force tnat he was
unable to continue. Zerega was sixty
pounds heavier than the Jsd. KIo

performance.
