^inme the bacon for Iowa in the 440
yard dash. Fetterman had the race
won up to the final 20 yards, when
(he Hawkeye sprinter drew upon his

mile, and the game Fremont star
slipped in ahead of Kgan of Central
to win this event. Kgan of Central
finished in second place and Waidiich
of Technical third.

Connie Mack
Believes As Have
Punch to ^ in
Manager Places Poor Showing
Made by Team on Meeting
of Weak Clubs Before
Opening of Season.
New York, May 17.—Connie Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia Ath
letics, who thought he was booked for
second place in the American league,
is not discouraged because he lost
eight straight games and is at the
bottom of the second division. In an
interview here he discussed the new
rule that permits baseballs to be kept
in play longer. "I think," he sa*d,
"that, our league has made a serious
mistake in letting the pitchers go as
far as they have with the balls. The
league thought we were using too
many balls. That Is wrong. I am
not In favor of using balls when th*.v
get soiled or marred. There will he
unavoidable 'cheating' by some of the
pitchers—that Is, nicking and ma
nipulating balls so that they becom*
'sailers.'
“No pitchers cheated last year
They all worked on their merit*,
which is what I prefer to see. The
pitchers are only just beginning to
'work' on the balls—dirty 'em up and
rough 'em. that is. It is the smart
pitchers who will do it. My pitcher*
are not doing It now. but I suppose
they will unknown to me. No orders
vjill prevent the wise ones from do
ing it and getting away with it. Of
course, the new rule hasn't seemed
to cut down the batting very much
or cause any trouble, but my per
sonal opinion Is that it Is bad policy
to arm the pitchers with this poten
tial advantage.
No Tail-End Club.
“Possibly this sounds as if I were
trying to alibi for my club for its de
feats, but I'm not. Some people may
think my club has fallen below the
need of alibis. But I declare that we
are not going to stay below all sea
son. We are not a tail-end club.
Furthermore, I can’t figure a real
tail-ender in the league. That may
sound funny, for some one has got
to be at the bottom, but I fail to ap
praise any one team as altogether
out of running for a first division
berth.
