One of the first of the outstanding
ball players of all time, to be pre
sented by Connie Mack to 80,000 fans
: n Shlbe Park Friday night was 0eo.
Sisler, former manager of the 8t
..ouis Browns and baseball’s greatest
first baseman.
Sisler. who was in charge of the
Brooklyn baseball sclwxd in Csnien
until Thursday afternoon and who
eft on a late train fbr PhUadelidiia
in order to attend the 50th annlver
aary of Connie Mack’s era of manage
ing teams in major league baseball,
was greeted with rounds of’ cheers
from the mob of fans.
’The other members of Mack’s all-
time alletar team were as f<dtews:
Eddie Collins, second baseman of the
Athletics; Frank (Home Run) Bakgr,
third baseman of jhe Athletics; Honus
Wagner, shortstop of the Pittsburgh
Pirates; Li. Bill Dickey, catcher of
the New York Yankees; Walter John'
son, right-handed pitcher fbr Wash'
Ington; Lefty Grove, southpaw pitdher
tor Athletics; Trls Speaker, outfield
er for the Cleveland Indians, and Babe
Ruth, ’’the greatest hitter of all time,
Yankee outfielder. Catcher Mickey
Cochrane, formerly with the A’s and
Detroit, and outfielder Ty Cobb, were
unable to be present.
President Roosevelt sent Mack a
message of congratulations and the
fans presented' him with a purse of
$6000.
Since he first took the beft of a
big league club—at Pittsburgh on
Augiut 4, 18847-baseball’8 “grand old
gentleman” has' gone up and down the
baseball ladder. He has won nine
American league pennants with tds

Je. Legion Echoes
The recent embroilment in Junior
Legion baseball ranks growing out of
the Camden protest of Red H<dlis,
Columbia infield star, has served to
Inflame Columbia Junior Legion fans
to a point where they are casting
slurs upon the sportsmanship of Oun-
den Junior Le^n athletic officers
and the fans in general.

The Library is always delighted to
receive gifts of books as our funds

Jake Todd, State Legion athletic
director, did what was expected whep
he declined to sustain the Camden
protest. And the story then became
lust a matter of maneuvering so thai
the Columbla-Spartanburg series coulc
be played, which would then auto
matically kill the protest. For some
reason or other it was impossible to
secure a meeting of the state execu
tive comnalttee. The state committee
consist of W. D. Schwarts of Charles
ton, Mr. Todd, M. J. Shirley of Honea-
path. Dr. John B. Setxler of Spartan
burg and Archie Schiffley of Orange
burg.
