IT YEARS USED TO BUILD CLUB By Leo H. Peterson United Press Staff Correspondent 1 New York, May 26—(UP)—It ' took Connie Mack 17 years from the , time he broke up his first champion I ship ball club until he molded an- } other but his second edition of title , winners is turning out to be a first class job. . Back in 1914 Mack broke up what was known at that time as the great I est baseball team in history. It ineluded such stars as Eddie Plank, Charles Bender, Erank Baker, Eddie Collins John Barry. Jack 1 Coombs, John Mclnnis, Wally Schang, Bob Shawey and Joe Bush. ’ I They brought Mack four American ‘ League and three world championships in five years. But the stars were getting old. 1 Mack decided to start over again. ■ He broke up his famous infield combination, still hailed as the greatest I the game ever has seen. > Long, lean years followed. For - seven consecutive seasons his Plii- : ladelphia team finished last. Then it started to climb — seventh in [ 1922, sixth in 1923, fifth in 1924, . second in 1925, third in 1926. up to . second in 1927 and again in 1928. ! And then came the Athletics of 1929 —Grove, Earnshaw, Simmons, | Foxx, Cochrane, Miller, Walberg, ' Dykes, Boley, Bishop and the rest. 1 They won the league title and weirt . on to win the world championship from the Chicago Cubs. t No, it wasn't as good a ball club I as the one he had in his first championship years ago. But hie men carried on to another league and world title in 193 d. It still wasn't his greatest team, Connie sain. And in 1931 the same men still are carrying on. They are at the top of the American league and - have a five-game advantage over

- lltlVU cl 11 Vr, f>cl IlltJ UVVI I the Washington Senators. They i have won 17 straight games—the I longest winning streak recorded by la Major League team since 1916. It I is within two games of the longest I American League winning streak I 19 consecutive victories by the Chii cago White Sox in 1906. These men still may not form Connie’s greatest ball club. Hut I even the old master is weakening. He says he may have to change his mind about what team was his greatest one. But even if he doesn’t change his mind, the Athletics have proved that Connie turned out a pretty good job in the 17 years it i look him to build his second championship club. They showed Connie Yesterday that all teams were alike to them. They took both ends of a double header from the New York Yau- ! bees, 4 to 2 and 16 to 4. Lefty Grove pitched the first game against ‘ the team considered as the Athletics most dangerous rival and was invincible in the pinches. In the I ninth inning with the tying runs I on second and third lie struck out 1 Huth, ami Gehrig, two of the great- | est hitters in the League, to end the game. A barage of base hit* gave Philadelphia the second game. Roy Sherid was clubbed from the mound in the first ‘lining as the Athletics scored nine runs to sew up the contest. Leroy Mahaffey toasted to victory nine runs to sew up the victory and shut out the Yankees for the t’iist seven innings. Cleveland defeated Chicago 7 to 6 in the only other American League game. The Indians knocked Tommy Thomas from the mound in the eighth inning when they scored five runs on six hits. In the only National League game the Chicago Cubs defeated Pittsburgh 9 to 6 and moved into four'll place in the National League standings. Sweetland allowed the Pirates only eight hits but five errors by his mates kept him in constant trouble. Yesterday's Hero Lefty Grove, who pitched Philadelphia to a 4 to 2 victory over the Now York Yankees. Grove allowed eight hits but was invincible in the pinches. In the Seventh inning lie struck on' i Reese and Ruth and got Gehrig on a bunt after the Yankees had men on first and third. In the ninth, | when New York had the tying runs on second and third, Grove fanned Ruth and Gehgig to end the Game. Following statistics compiled by j United Press include games of May 25 th.

The prosecution denied that Barton and Shirk bargained their freedom for testifying as state's witnesses and asserted the youths took the stand “to clear their consciences,” without hope of immunity. SHOWMAN AGAIN FACES COURT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) men. Jobelmann was one of the defendants. Shortly before the trial opened Jobelmann said he had discharged his attorneys, would plearl his own case, and would relate “the whole story.” Jobelmann and Mrs. Olive Clark Day were accused of bringing Lydia Nitto, also known as Alice Blake, and Helen Livingston, both said to be 17. to San Diego for a party at the El Cortez hotel last October. Guests at the party, it was charged, were Pantanges, Jesse Shreve, and John I’. Mills, who pleaded guilty to two counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors. Shreve, Jobelmann, and Mrs. Day were accused of contributing to file delinquency of the Nitto girl. It is these charges which now are being tried. o TAX RECEIPTS TO BE VALUABLE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) signed by the Governor March 11, toot i« ...:n i.,. i... „„ rxi

Mrs. Kuhn accused Mrs. Summers of teiling her, one day her husband’s death, that she had poison ed him. Miss Agnes Summers, another sister of the husband, said she heard Mrs. Summers tell the nephew, Thomas Myers, to take Sum mers’ clothing ' because he won't I need them." Miss Summers said this was while the husband was ill. Mrs. Summers then was called and questioned regarding the four deaths and the fact that she paid the premiums on insurance policies ranging from S4OO to $2,500 in which she was the beneficiary at the end, she was asked if she had any statement to make. “I don’t know how any of them died," she sobbed, swaying in a joiN NOW Decatur Country Club Membership Rates Effective for this year ■ Family Membership, includ[ing Man, Wife and Children | from 15 to 21 years of age—|H'r y “. r . $45 — Men’s Single Membership— j either married or single—per year ....

Swanson attended the inquest and assigned of his leading assistants, C. Wayland Brooks, who prosecuted the Lingle murder trial, and E. A. Ferrari, to conduct the questioning. PUDGE HUGHES PROGRESSIVE (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) Either of them might be suspected of ghost writing the latest opinions of Hughes lint for the fact that the chief justice, who in 1928 said lie was too old to run for President, goes at Hie work of the court with tile same overwhelming energy that lie threw into the investigation of New York life insurance scandals a quarter century as,o. So with a life-time of achievement Hughes reaches what might be regarded as the fullness of ills wisdom and shifts over from the conservative faction and joins the dissenters — who more and more and more are coming to command a majority in live-to-four decisions, due to tlie accession to the court of Harlan Fiske Stone and Owen W. Roberts, both of whom frequently side with Holmes and Brandeis. Tho “test case” sor 1 Hughes as a liberal came in the decisions regarding citizenship applications of Prof. Douglas Clyde Mclntosh of Yale Divinity School, and Marie Averil Bland, both of whom saw-non-combatant war service in France but who refused, in seeking American citizenship, to promise to bear arms. Botli bail had religious scruples. Prof. Macintosh said lie would not promise to bear arms in any war he thought unjust. Liberal groups had made an issue of these cases and fought them through to tlie highest court. Five justices upheld lower courts in refusing citizenship, holding there could lie no reservations to tlie pledge of allegiance. Four dissented —Hughes, Holmes, Brandeis and Stone. Hughes summarized the| philosophy of the liberals in this

passage of Ills decision: "When one's belief collides with the power of the state, the latter is supremo within its sphere and submission or punishment follows. But. in the forum of conscience, duty to a moral power higher than the state lias always been maintained. The attempt to exact such a promise, and thus to bind one's conscience by taking an oatli or the submission to tests has been the cause of many deplorable conflicts. Tlie congress lias sought to avoid such conflicts in this country by respecting a happy tradition.” in rejecting a conviction under Hie California “red-flag” law last week, Hughes in the majority opinion declared free government required malntainance of free discussion to tlie end that government might be responsive to the will of the people. His decisions reflect the outstanding statement of supreme court liberalism made by Holmes in the case of Rlsika Schwimmer, an excluded pacifist, as follows: "if there is any principle of the constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is tlie principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us, but freedom for tho thought that we hate.” Man Held In Jail Jeffersonville, Ind., May 26 — (UP) —Henry Flick, 54. charged with murder, was being held in jail here following his removal from Orange county where authorities feared mob violence.
