Mack's Judgment and Foresight Key to Success
By W. J. Mcßeth.
NEW YORK, May 6.—The pub
lic sits in admiration and
awe of Connie Mank’s
world’s champion Athletics. The
team which humbled the Giants In
the world’s series last fall is uni
versally conceded to be one of the
very best aggregations produced In
this history of the national pastime.
Yet, in its veneration of the capa- .
bllity of that wonderful machine,
the public is prone to overlook the
genius of the man who fashioned it.
Connie Mack did not.fall heir to
any such collection of stars. He
had to dig up each and every one of
them. His ultimate success is but
a tribute to his foresight and rare
judgment. For in his own unas
suming, quiet way, Mack has
changed the business policies of the.
great organized profession. The
leader of the Athletics was a
pioneer in his way. He foresaw’
ten years ago the great develop
ment to which this sport would at
tain in a decade. He realized that
each year it would become more
difficult to secure desired talent
through purchase and trade. Be
fore the rival managers, ever
dreamed of paying serious atten
tion to the scouting end of the
business, Connie Mack had raked
the minor organizations and col
leges with a fine-tooth comb.
No club in organized baseball has
such a perfect scouting system as
that of Connie Mack. He himself
is the great chief of the sleuthing
department and his Is the final
judgment He is tipped off to more
good green players than any other
three managers, simply because his
great network of espionage was
established before rivals woke upto
his wonderful advantage. The Ath
letics were In on the ground floor
and so long as Mack remains in the
game Philadelphia's Americans will
continue to have first call.
Until Connie Mack entered the
major league field, managers look- ■
ed little farther ahead than the tips ■

Connie Mack’s club has always
been a great trouble-maker for
other-teams in the American league.
He never before had such a won

commands. For the next three or
four years his youngsters are
bound to improve and the Athletics
are going to be right in the thick

country. The West is feared more
by Connie Mack this year than the
East, although the Red Sox of
Bean Town undoubtely loom up. as
a formidable outfit. The visitors
on tomorrow at Sleeptown are the
Cleveland Naps under Harry Da
vis, post-graduate and fellow of
the McGillicuddy university. Thus
a ‘condition' will be prevailing in
Quakerburg greatly similar to thak

.The Detroit-Boston series In the
Hub will be one of great import,
as both teams are figuring on
landing at least second in the
championship race.
At. New York the Browns and the
Yankees mingle. The St. Louis en

Reds are putting up a surprisingly
strong game. Brooklyn is visiting
at Pittsburg, but has little chance
to get . the majority of the games

expect plenty of fight from the Bos

his charges Keevin declared that
Tone deliberately violated the rules

mission. In their communication
-to Tone the commission stated:
“Your action that night was
unjustifiable. The boys were

Trusses Like These Are A Crime
j Get Rid of Elastic Bands, Springs an*
Leg-Straps. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations.
Trusses like those shown above—-the
belt and leg-strap, elastic and spring
contraptions sold by drug stores, sur
gical supply houses and many self
styled ‘ Hernia Specialists”—make life
miserable for everybody who wears
them.
And—even when drawn so tight you
can scarcely stand to keep them on—
they do no good whatever.
Instead, they often do immense harm
—they squeeze the rupture, often caus
ing strangulation—dig intp the pelvic
bone in front—press against the sensi
tive spinal column at the back.
The Plain Truth Is This.
■Rupture—as explained in our free
book —can't be relieved or cured—can't
even be kept from growing worse—un
less constantly held in place. Just as a
broken bone can’t “knit” unless the
parts are held securely together.
And—just as a bandage or splint is
the only way a broken bone can be
held —the right kind of truss Is the
only thing in the world that can keep a
rupture from coming out.
What a difference it will make when
you get that kind of truss.
And you can get exactly that kind
of truss —witfiout. risking a cent of your
money.
It's the famous Cluthe Truss or
Cluthe Automatic Massager.
Far more than a truss —far more than
merely a device for holding the rupture
in place.
So different from everything else for
rupture that it has received 18 sepa
rate patents.
Thousands say it is as comfortable as
their clothing.
No belt, elastic belt or springs around
your waist, and no leg-strap—nothing
to pinch, chafe, squeeze or bind. Self
regulating, self-adjusting. It is held
in position by suction —can’t shift or
slip—the only truss in existence that
is honestly guaranteed to hold your
rupture every minute of the day.
Sent on 60 Days Trial to Prove It.
We have so much faith in the Cluthe
Truss —we have seen it work wonders
for so many others—that we .wAnt to
make one especially for your case and
let you try it at our risk.
■without making a wry face. He
said that Wolgast had proved him
self the better man that day-—or at
least up to the moment when Eddie
Smith interfered and gave the vic
tory to the Michigan wildcat.
'1 was in bad shape, all right, but
I had been in just as bad a fix in
other contests,” said the Battler.
“I believe the world will back me
up in saying there is another
chance coming to me.”
But Neleon never got his return
fight with Wolgast. It may have
been in a measure his own fault,
for in the discussions that arose
between the rivals harsh words
were used and Nelson abandoned
all diplomacy and abused the new
champion roundly.
Now, what will Nelson say when
the man who turned him down so
unceremoniously is lessening his
own risk of relinquishing the
championship by arranging for a
return match before the first one is
fought?
No matter what Nelson or any
body else has to say about it, the
Wolgast-Rivers double steal has a
weird look. By their actions, Riv
ers and Wolgast have yanked the
championship out of the open mar
ket and are making it their private
property. Who can say but that be
fore the Labor day encounter
comes along they may agree to
meet again on some of the holi
days beyond that again and make
their little game of freeze-out
perennial?
We’ll give you 60 days ttme to test
it—if it doesn’t keep your rupture from
coming out, when you are •working and
at all other times—if it doesn’t put an
end to the trouble you’ve heretofore
had with your rupture—if you don’t
get better right away—-then the truss
won’t cost you a cent.
How It Strengthene and Heals.
In addition to holding the rupture, the
Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Mas
sager is constantly glviug a soothing,
strengthening massage to the weak, rup
tured parts.
All automatically—the massage goes on
all day long, all without any attention
whatever from you.
This massage—which strengthens just
as exercise strengthens a weak arm—is
so remarkably beneficial—eo remarkably
curative that in 199 cases out of every
200 rupture begins to get better from the
day a Cluthe Truss is put on.
