And so it is with players on the Athletics.

To them Connie Mack is "The Old Man." To outsiders he'd better be Mr. Mack, accorded all the respect due a gentleman of his fine qualities. Otherwise, the baseball boys won't like it. A "SCHOOLMASTER." Connie Mack, back in 1905 when I first saw him sitting on the bench, reminded me of a "sphinx." Later, I came to look upon him as a "schoolmaster." I found out. as a player under him, that he had all the kindly, yet stern qualities of the teachers Dont think that Mack "spares the rod" in dealing with his players.

He can mete Out discipline with an iron hand. But because he understands human nature better than any other manager in baseball, in my judgment, he has different ways of dealing with players of varying temperament. I don't want to be telling any tales out of school, but I feel that it will be perfectly proper for me to discuss in a general way, without mentioning names, some incidents that came under my personal observation. HUMOR AND SARCASM. One has to do with a player who had been staying out late nights.

TEAMS WELL MATCHED. Apparently, there are no such things as varsity and second teams out where the Golden Panthers are sharpening their claws for nine weeks of feasting, or fasting. There are just two evenly-matched elevens, with not much to choose between them. Tuesday, with Eddie Baker performing as a non-competing quar-j terback, the so-called "seconds" proceeded to throttle the varsity at-; tack, took the ball on downs nearly every time, and shook Rooney, Wagner, and Hood, reserve ballcarriers, into an open field on several occasions.

Touchdowns would have resulted each time had not Coach Sutherland called a halt to embarassing situations. I Baker stood behind the second string backfield, and directed the attack, although Bucky Wagner, former Schenley star, functioned in the quarterback position. Rooney and Walinchus were the reserve halfbacks, with Franklin Hood, rejuvenated Monaca star, at fullback. On the line, Schultz and Fuge were the ends; Quatse and Babic, tackles; Milligan and Hart Morris, guards; and brother Robert Morris, center. ROSENZWEIG RETURNS.

HAVING received the official stamp of physical fitness from Trainer Bert Munhall and Dr. W. L. Marks yesterday, Ted Rosenzweig, sterling end of last season, will resume practice this afternoon in the Tartan Bowl after two weeks inactivity due to injuries. The Claridge husky has been in uniform but he has not participated in any of the spirited skirmishes.

With Rosenzweig ready to take his regular position at left end things are beginning to perk for the Tartan battle with Bethany College Saturday at Wheeling. While it is not believed by Coaches Wally Steffen and Bob Waddell that "Rosie" will be set for action he is apt to break into the game before it is well under way. Fortunately Rosenzweig reported In fine physical condition. For the next several days he will buckle down to hard work and attempt to cinvince the Plaid mentors he is ready to start, despite the fact injuries have retarded him to a great extent during the pre-season play. Coaches SteSen and Wrddell concentrated their efforts on backfield timber.

They are watching closely the work of the second string material. Swede Carlson has been leading the second team at quarterback during the daily drills. It is likely that he will serve as understudy to Harry McCurdy, versatile sophomore and likly successor to the all-American Howard Harpster. DUKES CORRECT FAULTS. to a six-man forward line.

Blackstones taste rich and cool. They're so mild that they're, a fai vorite with cigarette smokers. Perhaps you have said "When I find the right agar, I'll stick to it." Then try a Blackstone, is the sound advice we give you.

And here's a tip on when to begin: When you're not hurried, when you have time for a real smoke, light up a Blackstone. Savor it. Let its mellow fragrance roll over your tongue. Then decide for your- self if it isn't more enjoyable when you want real aristocratic smoking pleasure, to light a Blackstone are going to require longer time to "Ggars, gentlemen?" If you dine at the Keystone Athletic Qub you have seen Miss Seaman as she moves among the tables with her tray of smokes. Today she is displaying a cigar new to Pittsburgh smokers the Blackstone.

Miss Seaman is glad that Black-stones have come to Pittsburgh. So many customers returning from trips in other parts of the country ask for Blackstones. They are famous for being mild in flavor, and they are uniform -always in quality and And now all over Pittsburgh remedy than can be devoted to them. Head Coach Layden and Line Coach Joe Bach realize they have a lot to accomplish before Saturday. This is Miss Jewell Seaman, cigar girl at the Keystone Athletic Club.
