Time 50 min. o'clock when Connie Mack's 1931 edition of the Philadelphia Athletics, baseball champions of the universe, engaged a group of local diamond stars augumented by the addition of three ex-major players. It was in 1914 that Mack, after his great team had romped away with the American league gonfalon in such an easy fashion, dismantled the great combination, the infield which had become a byeword whenever big league baseball was discussed, the brilliant Infield which had a Stuffy Mclnnis and an outfield, which had a Home Run Baker, and went about building up, once again, another power ful White Elephant club.

Fans of Philadelphia have never. and perhaps will never, forgive Connie for that. They've forgotten and forgiven some things since the Athletics have won two successive world's championships to match Miller Huggins' feat with the New York Yankees but they'll always remember that time, almost two decades ago, when a really great team was broken apart because it "was hurtinsr interest in the game." Now the ballyhoo that greets the modern fan is that Connie will once more dismantle a great team so that competition in the junior league will be more even. There are reports that Al Simmons, the blasting hitter who has at once the most awkward and the most dangerous stance before any hurler, will be shifted to some other nine, perhaps even into the National league. Bishop and Boley, team-mates with the Baltimore Orioles before their purchase by Mack, are also slated for the trading block.

Miller, the redoubtable Bing, may also see new surroundings in 1932. But whether or not Connie Mack breaks up his great 1931 machine next year need not trouble Battle Creek and vicinity's fans Tuesday. The complete roster of the champions will cavort at Postum athletic tield and the regular nine which has campaigned in the American League since the middle of April will take the field for the exhibition game at 5:15 o'clock. The Athletics will appear in uniform at 3 o'clock. Gates to the Postum field will swing open at 1 o'clock, giving early arrivals time to choose the choicest scats in the bleachers.

Reservations have been made in increasing numbers the last two days and the demand has been such that additional bleachers have been authorized for construction so that the capacity of the park will be increased to 5,000 or more for Tuesday's game. Entertainment galore has been planned for the champions from the time their two special Pullmans pull into the city at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning until they leave at 11 o'clock in the evening lor Chicago. Immediately after their arrival they will be taken to the Postum company plant and shown through the buildings. They will be banqueted along with special guests of Connie Mack and Manager Carroll Grimm, of the Postum club, at noon in the spacious Postum club house. After the banquet those who play golf besides the national pastime will be escorted to the Battle Creek Country club where a round will be played before the appearance of the Athletics on the Postum athletic field at 3 o'clock.

After the game the champions will again be taken to the Postum plant and then will visit various spot3 of interest in the city. At 8:30 the champions are expected to pay a visit to Lakeview arena for Farmer Nick's regular Tuesday evening wrestling show. Tl Clyde Miller and Bob Wildenberg Defeat Elwood Baird And Herman Heald.
