CONNIE MACK IS STAR AT GIVING AWAY PLAYERS

Walsh Says He Might Have Had Cream

of League

BETTER TEAM THIS YEAR

Breaking Up of 1915 Outfit Dissipated Fine

Group of ‘Comers’

NEW YORK, March 5.—For the first time in nine years Connie Lugu- brious Mack can be favored to finish

higher than eighth in the American

League because he is deemed to have mustered sufficient strength, after seasons of experimenting, to outlast the Boston Red Sox, if none

other. Cornelius has tried more combina-

tions than a Monte Carlo gambler since breaking up his world’s cham-

pionship outfit before the 1915 sea-

son, but his efforts have been un-

productive. On the other hand, he

would have had a real ball club to-

day had he stood pat and allowed his original bets to ride. Suppose, for example, neither trade nor pur- chase had tempted him. He would

then be able, barring accidents, to

announce the following as his lineup for the opening game of the 1923

season:

They Were Released

Pitcher, Joe Bush, one of the lead-

ing right handers in the game last

year; catcher, Steve O’Neill, still

one of the topnotchers; fire base, Stuffy Mclnnes; second base, Eddie

Collins, who tops them all at thirty- six; shortstop, Larry Kopf; third

base, Joe Dugan, the best in base-

ball; outfielders, Charley Jamieson, Amos Strunk and Whitey Witt.

So much for the opening day line-

up. For the next game he could call

on Bob Shawkey, Herb Pennock.

Stanley Coveleskie, Roy Moore, Rube

Dressier, Dana Filingim and John

Walson to pitch and Wally Schang, Walter Schmidt, Val Picinich or

Gleen Myatt to fill in behind the

plate—surely the finest set of bat

tery strength in the land.

In case of injuries to his front line

forces Cornelius would only need to

glance down along the bench to find George Burns, first baseman and out-

fielder; Doc Lavan and Eddie Foster, infielders, and Larry Gardner and

Frank Baker, pinch hitters.

Quite a ball club, that. So good, in fact, that it would figure to run

one, two, three in any man’s league. Yet it was given away virtually by a man who gives only until it hurts, therefore gives nothing.

Cornelius must have been painfully injured many times during recent

years, for he now has nothing to

show for all his trades and deals

with other major league clubs unless

it is the solace of an increased bank

balance. Of the line-up that probably ■will take the field at the start of the

next season only Tilly Walker and

Bing Miller, outfielders, went to

Philadelphia in intra-league trades.

Look Them Over

Ralph Perkins, said by many to be

the best catcher in baseball, was

developed at Shibe Park. So was

Eddie Rommel, who won twenty- seven games for a seventh-place club; Joe Hauser, the first baseman pur- chased from the American Associa- tion; Jimmy Dykes, who was picked off the lots around Bryn Mawr, a

Philadelphia suburb; Galloway, the

shortsop; MeGoowan, the outfielder, and Hasty, Harris, Heimach and

Yarrison, pitchers. Hale and Riconda, the recruits who

will battle for the open job at third base, were purchased, the former

from the Pacific Coast League and

the latter from the Eastern League. Of course, many of the men Mack

let go, including O'Neill, Schmidt, Coveleskie, Lavan, Kopf, Foster and

JJamieson were undeveloped at the

time they received trials under him.

Yet the deplorable fact is that

Cornelius cut loose from Eddie Col-

line, Joe Bush, Bob Shewkey, Stuffy Mclnnes, Amos Strunk. Wally Schang, Larry Gardner, Joe Dugan, Frank Baker, and others while they were

at the pinnacle of their ability, and the men he got in return are either out of the major leagues or out of circulation, depending on whether they were iron men or merely hu- man. The iron men were retired from circulation automatically.

A prudent question is a proof of wisdom.

NEW RULES FOR MAILING SECOND

CLASS MAHER Post Office Department

Is Campaigning for Better Addresses

WASHINGTON, March 5.—A cam-

paign for better mailing of second class matter with the object of elim-

inating poorly addressed publica- tions from the mails is being con-

ducted by the postoffice department. Publishers, the public, and the

postal service, postal officials say, will profit mutually by the steps taken to reduce umleliverable sec-

ond class mail, which includes news-

papers, magazines and other types of publications.

Postmasters are called upon to see

that publishers fulfill the recommen-

dations of the department wherever

possible. Publishers, themselves are

strongly advised about features of

their mailing practices, which if ad- hered to, postoffice experts declare, will insure fewer losses of news-

papers and magazines to subscribers.

The recommendations made are:

Unusually small publications should

be inclosed in envelopes. Publications mailed in single wrap-

pers should be flat, not rolled.

Publications should be folded to a

size not larger than 9 by 12 inches if possible.

Addresses should be in 10 point type or larger or in a legible hand.

Old newspapers should not be used as wrappers. Ink should be black or of strongly contrasting color and

envelopes, wrappers, and label paper should be white or of very light tint.

Separation of copies to rural and to city subscribers will facilitate dis-

tribution. Individual copies unfolded and un-

wrapped should have addresses in such a manner that the address ap-

pears in the upper corner near the bound edge when a copy is grasped by the bound edge.

Notice of entry of publication as

second class should appear on all

wrappers and envelopes. Care should be taken about paste

on labels. Too little permits the

label to fall off and too much makes the publications stick and destroy the legibility of the address.

RUSSIANS PRODUCE NEW COLOR PRINTS

All Tones Imposed With One Impres- sion With Tursahr Color

Process

MOSCOW, March 5.—A new color process which applies any number of colors by means of a single im-

pression is a Russian invention now

becoming popular. The process is a secret of the Soviet Government. The factory which manufactures the

product operates in Petrograd. The inventor is Professor Nikolai

V. Turkin, of Petrograd, and a co-

inventor is Madame Astra Ivanevna Sahr, also a resident of Petrograd. The shops which are devoted to the exclusive sale of the manufactures of this product are named for the

inventors, “Tursahr.” The Moscow shop, “Tursahr,” con-

tains all sorts of manufacturers of

paper, linen and silk stamped by the new process. They are lamp shades, table covers, boxes, picture^, post- cards, calendars and note books. The

designs are made by approved artists and the goods have a really brilliant effect. A silhouette of Lenin by the celebrated artists, S. V. Cheeonina, was a recent feature.
