~ PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20
According to an official an
nouncement issued by Con-
ME Mack, of the Athletics, he owns
half of the Athletics stock and the
grounds at Twenty first street and
Lehigh avenue. Mack is securing
the recent stock, now shares with
the Shibes the entire ownership of
the Elephants.
The deal by which Mack has dou-
hled his baseball holdings makes
him one OF the largest owners OF
baseball stock in the major leagues.
Connie secured his additional stock
from Frank l.. Hough and Samuel
H. Jones, who have been directors
of the Athletics since 1902.
In announcing the deal Mack
said:
THE proposition TO sell out their
interests in the club by Messrs.
Hough and Jones was made some
time ago, and 1t did not take long
for us to come to an agreement as
to what their shares were worth.
They disposed Of their stock in the
club, as well as in the ball park, to
me, so that l now have a one-half
interest In each. How much money
was involved in the deal / would
not care to state"
When Messrs. Hough and Jones
decided to sell out President Shibe
made no efforts to get any OF the
stock. Uncle Ben" made it one of
his tronclad rules when he con-
sented to become a magnate In
1901 that he would not own more
than so per cent of the stock He
Is said to consider that no one had
a better right to purchase the stock
than the man who had spent so
many years in bringing champion
ships to Philadelphia.
Manager Mack also set at rest

culatiOn about his players.
