BOUQUET DUE . CONNIE MACK • Ry Davis J. Walsh. INS Sports Editor. New York. May 12— There seems ! to be nothing for it but to open the j alt.r of roses today and tprinkla its -ssenci. over the physical sub-division known as Connie Mack He is entitled to something special tight out 1 of the neck of the bottle for what he ■ has done, or seems to have done. for. ’ witli and to the Philadelphia Athletics ' of 1928. Tile apatheties, a sardonic soul called them once, but that was some years ago when they were endeavor-1 ing to recover from their 1915 do-1 bacle and were playing class A B C ball during the process, today, they 1 ire about as apathetic as tlie Wall \ Street explosion. Forty-one tuns in theii last five! games, an average of eight; sixty ! seven hits, an avetage of more than! thirteen; that's apathy, provided you!, think St. Vitus was maybe a bit too ' stolid for England's standing army. '. The Athletics are the only club in , ; , either major league that has lost but , one game since April 18. They have ■ won eleven in the meantime for a percentage of .917 if someone ; doesn't stop them soon, the American league race is due to be-closer than a , '•oat of paint, Yankees or no Van- ( kees. | The immediate answer is that, for •he fitst time since 1914. Connie Mack sems to have marshalled all the • forces that go into the creating of a s inning < omliination — hitting, pitching. reasonably fair defense behind ; the pitcher and the will to win. The outfit had hitting in 1926 and 1927 but the pitchers didn't have much beyond the tight idea. But today Grove and Walberg are standing up ( like a best man a: d -lately Rommel and Quinn have begun to show signs . of Human life. Os course, everybody 1 ] ■ is winning with a dub that plays at ‘ • •he rate of .917 over a period of three ' , ( weeks but the boys have l»een very ( I particular about the number of rims ! ; they al’ow. anyhow. ( 1 Over the last five-game stretch, the-i ’ opposition, which happened to bo the > , Detroit Tigers and the St. Louis Browns, average less than three runs 1 a game, which, like the four-cent | ■ niekel, isn't quite enough. The i 1 Browns haif gone well in Washing- | i ’on, the Tigers were perking up in I t the west anil in Boston. Maybe you i 1 think it isn't possible to perk down, f But I know it is. because that is < what the Browns and Tigers did in t I Philadelphia during the last seven j ! -lays. Some of our best second guessers 1 'are hastening now to point out that ] Mack kicked one all over the prem- ; :ses when he left Sam Gray get away ) If;om that pitching staff. He certain- » I y could use Gray's six out of seven • ; But the fact is that lie is finding some 1 jse for the .403 batting average of ; j the man who figured in the Gray I trade, Bing Miller. This worthy, al- | ways a natty spring hitter, has been I nothing short of a windfall, what ! with Simmons out of the game and ; (’hose base hits ricocheting off the I concrete, he has been the punch of 1.1 great attack that today musters a I iub average of .312. There' is nothing particularly the 1 ! matter with Sam Hale's .365 nor - I Cobb's .355 nor.yet Hhuser's lengthy I hitting in the pinches, even Speaker i j has lifted his average to .260 during ’ j the general excitement. So, let him wiio is without sense I among you cast the first-stone at Mr. Lc. Mack. Even then, 1 don't think j he really ought to throw it unless he !'s absolutely cettain that the stone ' is a genuine soitaire. o Payne Regains Lead In Cross-Country Foot Race Fremont, 0.. May 12 —(U.R) —Andrew i Payne, youthful Oklahoman, held I '‘■rat place in the Pyle cross-country I sotrace again today. The withdrawal of Peter Gavuzzi : Southampton. Eng., elapsed time leader, restored the first berth to the ■ big Claremore runner and proved that I he Los Angeles-New York marathon : till was any man's race.

Deridng the Oympic games for thelt 'emphasis on Individual effort, the • |promoters of the Spartacan tames will feature “collective sports." The ■ Rtisisan idea is to encourage the phys- ’ ieal development of mascs of people -' lather than exceptional strength, speed or skill on the phrt of a few 1 champions. Prizes will bo awarded to national groups and to oiganizations rather ’ than to individuals and first place in • the festival will be given to mass ex- - hibitions of gymnastics, folk plays (and dramatic spectacles. Thus, even in their play, the modern Russians keep in character. There will be army maneuvers, parades and demonstra(lions of workers’ solidarity. 1 ! We have been following sport for i years without becoming aware of the “Red Sports Inlet national." but now it appeals that there is such an organization, a union of labor sport organizations throughout the world with headquarters in Moscow. This "Red Sports International" will conduct the (Spartacan games jointly with Russian government ’officials, educational lead, ers, "aviation and chemical defense circles," military training organizations and others. When all these groups get to functioning, there should be a merry time. The ath letes wi'l come in handy to carry the arnica. The Russians are looking forward to the Spartacan games with characteristic solemnity. They plan to entertain 500 of the visiting athletes in style, paying all their expenses once they have crossed the Soviet frontiers. Others who go to Russia to take part in the games will lie favored by reduced railroad fare and cheaper hotel accommodations. The 'Red Sports International" has announced that a score of countries have accepted its invitation. Brazil, Mongolia, Persia, South Africa. Japan and Sweden are a few of the nations which will semi gymnasts, football players, swimmers, soldiers or whatei >•' t Iley have; to Moscow next sum-
