J. Mcßeth. NEW YORK, May 6.—The pub lic sits in admiration and awe of Connie Mack'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 bility 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. H»- 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 'he 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 tin” 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 fiist call. ‘Until Connie Mack entered the major league field, managers look ed little farther ahead than the tips FREE RHEUMATISM CURE Old.

He looked the situation squarely in the face. He saw in a star not his present capa bility, but the day when he must begin to pale and fade. He figured to have by that day some new comer to step into the declining veteran's shoes, and he always planned on having in his substitute a man far more capable in every department of the game. EAST AND WEST START MIXING IN BIG LEAGUES By Monty. N-EW YORK, May 6.—The first clash between the East and the West in the big leagues is on. In the National league it begins today and in the American tomorrow. All the National league clubs will fight on the home grounds of the Western teams, and the American league will present the Westerners as Invaders of the Eastern parks. Bv the time that this first meet ing between East and West is over, have met every one of its competi tors, and there should be by then something mpre definite upon which to base comparisons than there is at the present, when only a few diff -rent combinations of teams have provided the battles. The opponents of the Giants in the beginning of this first trek king westward win be the pro teges of Roger Bresnahan, Mc- Graw's most noted pupil, at St. Louis. The Cardinals have been coming fast and have flashed some remarkable finishes in their games thus far. Accordingly they are ex pected to give the Manhattanites a tough bite to swallow. The Cubs, year than the Cardinals. every team in each league will Pittsburg and Cincinnati were all easier for the Giants to beat last The career of Connie Mack’s world’s champion Athletics at their home bailiwick in Philadelphia, with the Western clubs as honored guests, will be watched with in- TIGER STUDENTS PREDICT RECORDS FOR THOMPSON PRINCETON, N .1 .

CLEMSON PLAYS AUBURN. i’LEMSoN. S <’.. May 6 —The T’lem son and Auburn baseball teams will play here Mor lay, Tuesday and Wednesday. These are the last games of the season for both teams. Matinees daily at 2:30 and 4. Night performances at 7:30 and 9 at the Bijou. White City Park Now Open THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS; MONDAY, MAY 6. 1912. Connie Mack’s club has always been a great trouble-maker for other teams in the American league. He never before had Buch a won derful club as that which he now 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 of baseball fame. When Collins. Barrv. Baker and .Mclnnis begin tn go. Connie Mack will undoubtedly produce competent successors to them. He ha c dozens upon dozens of athletes "planted" in the minor leagues for development. terest by fans throughout the 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 th>- 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 that in Bresnahan’s town. The Detroit-Boston series in the rfuh 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 try was last in 1911, and the Yan kees have broken the world's rec ord for a slow start this season. Washington will have a chance to see Jimmy Callahan’s comebacks in action in the approaching series. The poor, molested, mangled, crippled Phillies are the visitors at Cincinnati, where Hank O'Day's Reds are putting up a surprisingly strong game. Brooklyn is visiting at Pittsburg, but has little chance to get the majority of the games from the Pirates, while the dilapi dated Cubs on their home lot, may expect plent v of fight from the Bos ton wardmen of Johnny Kling. In this case again a protege of nne manager will be assaulting the man who taught him all he knew. The man is Frank Chance and the pu pil is Kling himself. GEORGIA OPENS 2-GAME SERIES WITH W. AND L. ATHENS. GA.. May 6 -Two of the most important baseball (tames of the season will be played here today and to morrow. when the strong; Washington and Lee team meets the Georgia team. These two teams meet here every year, and the games have always been hard fought. Harry Moran, said to he the best col lege pitcher of the South, is to pitch the first game for Washington and Lee. and il£ will probably be pitted against either Carl Thonfpson or against "Baby" Wil der. The Georgia team has just returned from their long trip through the East. Seven games were played, and of this number the Georgia team captured four, notwithstanding the fact that they were up against some of the strongest teams of the country. Two games were taken from Trinity and one each from the Uni versity of North Carolina and the North Carolina A. and M. The games lost were, one each to North Carolina, the Navy and the University of Virginia.

The formal complaint against Tone was filed by Eddie Keevin. the manager of Walsh. In his charges Keevin declared that Tone deliberately violated the rules of boxing laid down by the com mission. In their communication to Tone the commission stated: "Your action that night was unjustifiable. The boys were boxing according to our rules and should not have been stop ped. We feel that an injustice was done to both lads. If you think you can not follow our regulations, it would be advis able to resign, otherwise we will feel compelled to demand your resignation.

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 into the pelvic bone in front —pressi 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 -without risking a cent of your mom y. It’s th> famous Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Massager, Fa, more than a truss far more than merely a device for holding the rupture in [dace. So different from everything else for rupture that it lias received 18 sepa rate patents. Thousands a\ it is as 1 onifortable as their clothing.

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 gavq the vic tory to the Michigan wildcat. ’’l was In bad shape, all right, but I h id 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 Nelson 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 er- and Wolgast have yanked the championship out of the open mar ket and are making it their private property.
