DISCARD EMBLEM

Connie Mack athletes no longer want to i 1 be known as white elephants. They are through with the name, manager and players alike feeling that it Is a jinx, hoodoo, or something that Is keeping the team from winning Its way out of the cellar position. The emblematic elephant been tom. or cut off the sleeve of all the Athletics, and now there Is a feeling of hopefulness In the Mack camp. The first day the sign of the pachyderm was removed from their uniforms they defeated the crippled Tigers. That made the Mackmen feel sure the elephant on the sleeve was an unlucky symbol.
