There are SO many conflicting reports
It Is difficult to tell what will take
place.
Captain Huston is not optimistic
about the deal He frankly stated
that he did not care whether It was
put through. He qualified this state
ment, however, by saying that he

Fireside Baseball

Cornelius McGuillicuddy. as the
birth certificate gives him, and Con-
ME Mack. as he is known to baseball
fans from ocean to ocean, started his
tifty-third year today, for yesterday
was the fifty-second anniversary of
the managers natal day. Connie
found this birthday just as satisfac-
tory perhaps as others, but there
wasn't so much halo around II.
The ffty-second milestone that he
has passed marked in its trail one of
the toughest years that the tall tutor
has known. He did win the Ameri-
con League pennant, II Is true, but
the Boston Braves thumped the
worlds series aspirations out of the
Athletics in four straight games.
This was the worst defeat ever ex-
perienced by contender In the blue
ribbon battles.
On top Of that stroke came the
financial disappointments, for be 1t
told the Mackmen lost money last
season. Then. the team dtsin-
tegrated, and Connie was forced to
ask waivers on Bender. Plank and
Coombs. The former pair simply
walked past the boundaries OF organ
lied baseball into the Federal camp.
