Not only has Connie Mack gone rec
ord as saying that he did not purpose to
interfere with his players plans to write
articles about the worlds series for the
newspapers, Notwithstanding the COM
missions ruling against such practice,
but John McGraw has made it plain that
! he purposes to ignore this order.
Mack contends that if the writing by
players was Objectionable the commits
sion should have taken it's stand at the
close of the last worlds series before
any of his players had entered into con-
tracts to write for the newspapers. Nc
Graw on the other hand. comes out fiat
footed with the statement that it is none
of the commissions affair whether he and
his players write for newspapers or not.
Just what sort of stand the commits
sion will take in the matter now that
there is open revolt among the players
involved will be interesting to watch.
but it is good guess that punishment OF
some kind will be handed out. for If the
commission allows its rule to be violated
it will soon lose its powers. something
that it has never shown an inclination to
do.
According to a story emanating from a
personal friend of Connie Mack. the Atm
letias' great leader is not overconndent
that his team will win the series from
the Giants He realizes that the chances
are that both Bender and Plank will
have to do the bulk of the pitching IN
these games, and he is skeptical as TO
their ability to stand up under such a
strain 1t is said that Bush is the only
one of the young pitchers whom Mack
proposes to use in the series, and if he
should fall down it would leave the Ath-
letics in a bad way for pitching material
unless the unexpected should happen and
one of his several other youngsters should
come through and hold the Giants in
check.
That Bender and Plank Will be ready
there is little doubt but it is asking too
much of a couple of veterans to pitch
couple of games out of turn, for that
usually proves strain on young pitchers
