fancy can you conceive Connie Mack
making a speech? Can you picture
the ministerial appearing manager OF
the Athletics doffing his hat before
bowling multitude and commencing:
Ladies' and Gentlemen:
Fifteen years ago Cornelius McGil-
llcuddy (real name) didn't wear his
coats so long in the tail, nayther (nor
niither nor neether) did the cruel
pinching Of boiled shirt bother his
well-reddened neck--not II he could
help II. c. Mack was hard plugging
catcher with a strong arm and line
OF talk that would make dialect
comedian dry up and blow away.
Coupled with his unique physique this
talk made Mack the prize card Of the
National league circuit.
Since being elevated to the man
agerial position, Mack has cut the
comedy. But, Is years ago when the
catcher stood back next the grand
stand II was a scream to see and hear
him work.
Getting back to the speech. Up in
the western corner OF Pennsylvania
the Iron and Oil league fiourished in
1895. when the lumbermen were cut
ting the hemlock whereabouts and oil
hadn't all been gobbled up by the
Standard. The league was pretty
fast and the Warren club finally In
duced Pittsburg to come up for an
exhibition game. The writer's pater-
mar relative was manager OF the War
rem team, and, II we remember cor
rectly, we attended that game, proud
ly arrayed in our first pair OF long
pants.
Hans Wagner, AL Wagner, Claud
Ritchey, Bill Carrick and few others
who later starred in the National
league, were with the Warren club
and proceeded TO give Pittsburg bat
tie. Mack was catching for the
Pirates and every time he came back
near the stands the brush cutters who
were just In town spending the money
they made peeling bark and all the
natives kidded him unmeScifully. Z.
Mack's appearance naturally provok-
ed remarks and anyway he was the
nearest man.
Well. the Warren team moved along
till the ninth inning and had four
runs. The rural JOY cup overlooked.
So did Connie Mack. He stood the talk
as long as he could and just before
the ninth commenced carefully piled
his mask and glove and chest pro-
tector in little heap behind the plate
ana strobe back to the grand stand.
Ladies' and Gentlemen" he said.
The great Pittsburg team has been
kidding you. We will now go out and
bat all the way around, make five
runs and beat you. And, the funny
part of il was" said Connie at the
Oriental today, I'VE did bat all the
way around, made five runs and
couldn't get any more"
What do you suppose would happen
today IL Connie Mack said more than
Ave consecutive words in public?
