bout the best big gridiron battle OF the SCI
town afire by their support, although
the club did very we'll. Proud old
Baltimore would never take to the
minors again, and it might be well
for the International League to real
ize that fact, If peace is restored.
o.
Connie Mack is a business man
and he does things in businesB-like
way. He has asked for waivers on
Bender, Plank and Coombs, because,
for one thing. they are not as good
as they used TO be. and for another
thing the Feds have been talking to
them, and Increased salaries would
have to be met by Mack. 1t is COM
mon gossip that the Athletics are the
poorest paid team in baseball, and
that Mack is not the one to pay big
salaries to his men. Despite this,
however, he has had less dissension
and less rumpug than any other
manager In the business. Mack Is
not only the manager of the Ath-
letics, but he is also halloween of
J the club. This makes difference.
AS boss and manager he is in a
position to protect himself and still
keep a good spirit among his men.
1t is said that he is to retire next
season, and it is also said that the
Athletics 100000 indeld is to be
broken up. Eddie Collins is slated to
manage the New York Yankees and
Baker may also 90.
@
Mack is right in the case Of Chief
Bender, and 1t IL his prerogative to
dispose of his other men. Connie has
been good to Bender, but Bender, In
turn, threw Mack down at a most
crucial time. The Indian, 1t Is said,
broke training two days before the
worlds series, and after he had been
beaten in the hrst game the chief
became an exceptionally bad boy.
Mack, who had put up with a great
deal from Bender, finally became dis
gusted and wouldn't allow the In
dian to pitch another ball in the
worlds series. Thus, he has good
reason to get rid of Bender, and he is
to dispose of Plank and Coombs, 1t is
said, also FOR good reasons, but IN
another way.
