MACK GETS REMNANT
JUST q YEARS AGO

Winning the American league pen
nant this year brought Connie Mack
no greater JOY than the championship
he helped win for his home town OF
Brookfeld, Mass, way back in 1883.
He was twenty-one years old then,
as he first saw the light of day on
Dec %, 1882 Brookfeld's 500 in
habitants were justly proud OF Connie
Mack. and the other players those
days. and the oldest inhabitant OF the
village is today probably recalling the
great game Connie caught when they
won the championship OF Central
Massachusetts, 81 years ago.
Mack had always been an infielder
until one day one OF the Brookfeld
boys mastered a curve ball. The regu.
lar catcher could not get accustomed
TO the break" and Connie was asked
TO try his hand at backstopping. His
debut was a pronounced success.

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-New York
sporting writer's do not take kindly
10 the action OF Owner Frank Farrell
in dismissing Manager George stall
ings and appointing Hal Chase IN ms
stead. That the move will not be
popular one, Is echoed on all sides To-
day.
Sporting men declare that while
Stallings probably made his charges
Of laying down" against Chase IN
good faith. II was impossible to prove
them. They declare that Chase's ne
quent absences from the team alto
gether, with his jump when ElDt r
field was acting az manager OF the
Yankees. shows that there was some
thing In Stallings' charges.
II Is further pointed out that Stall
ings took charge OF as bad major
league team as ever existed; team
that was hopelessly in the ruck. and
in one year produced bunch OF pen
nant possibilities. The Yankees, under
Stallings guidance. have always been
in the running, and even now promise
TO finish in second place In the Amer
lean league race. This wonderful I'M
provement, they point out. was
wrought by Stallings in the face OF
the fact that Hal Chase, the great
first baseman, was never In accord
with the views OF the manager.
That baseball politics played a part
in Stallings' dismal. seems certain.
Ban Johnson. president Of the Ameri-
can league, is a bitter foe of Stall
ings, and it Is a safe bet that the
league leader had much to do with
the overthrow Of the manager.

Will Engage in Series With Athletics
to Keep Them in
Condition.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.-An all-star
team OF American league players will
play a series OF Ave games with the
Athletics, American league champions
during their week of enforced idleness
before meeting the Cubs in the cham
pionship series. according to the latest
dope from Manager McAleer. OF the
Washington club. The aii-star Is to
fulfill a double purpose-keep the Ath-
letics from getting the dry rot and
taking the edge o: the championship
bouts, 10 spite President Murphy.
Murphy refuses TO let the schedule
be moved up so as 10 bring the post
season series earlier and the all-star
team has been picked as counter
move. The games are planned TO be
played In at least two different cities.
Here Ia the lineup OF the all-star team
as now planned;
Catchers-Carr.g and Ainsmith;
Pitchers, LANCE, Johnson. Ford and
Ray Collins: Chase, first base: Gard
liner. second base; Bush, shortstop;
Lord. third base; Milan. left field;
Cobb, right field, Speaker, center
field.
In a statement made public today
President Murphy says he does not
feel like asking President Robson to
make any financial concessions TO
hurry the post-season series along. He
says II would not be fair to deprive
the St. Louis club OF revenue at the
gates when he would not benefit finan-
cially in the champiopship series.
