Uncertainty of Baseball Keeps
Athletics Leader From
Making Any Guesses.
By TY COBB.
(Wo,lG's Greatest All-Around Player

Not long ago ! asked Connie Mack to
come across with something for publica-
ton about what he thinks of his
chances in the coming world 5 series.
didn't get the desired statement from
the willy leader of the Athletics. but |
did gain an insight into his reasons for
being so little quoted in the newspapers.
There is so much sound logic in what
he says that think it worth repeating.
"What is the use of my coming out
and saying that I think We will win
the worlds championship or that |
think We have hard fight on our
hands. or anything else like that said
Mr. Mack Some managers love to
let themselves quoted in the papers. 1t
seems. but [ am not one of that sort.
If Won predict on the eve of a series
that YOU will win in gallop and then
YOU yet beaten. it makes you look
foolish. and. oven if you win. there is
nothing to justify vain boastinG about
vour intentions of cleaning up on the
world.
TOO many unexpected things can
happen in a short series for any man to
attempt TO pick the winner. With my
club all in good physical condition and
an even break in luck, | would not
fear any team on earth, but who VIII
guarantee that nobody will get hurt be-
tween now and october 10. or whatever
the date of the first world S series
game may be, and who will promise
that We will have our share of the
luck and not all the worst of the
breaks?
The Athletics have proved them
selves a strong combination. in long
season, but they might have slump
in the short series that decides the pos
session of the worlds championship and
get a beating. You have seen us "nen n
we looked like a bush league club and
again when nobody could beat us. but
YOU can't tell which form We VIII De
in when the test comes. | p 10 Cate my
niavers always have been able TO deliver
i'm the pinch, but that isn't saying that
the can keep on doing so forever.

"In my career as manager and

There seems to be a feeling OF aston
'shmcnt in a good many circles that the
Giants have slipped so badly from for
1er years With this is attached quite
a bit of criticism
We have neither any feeling of aston
shmeut nor any turn for criticism over
heir tagging zeal. The only wonder is
nat they have stood up so long. The
lid Cubs broke as badly. So did the
NaCkmen The fOur-ycar reign has

The Giants at best were never great

an indomitable lighting spirit that never
Ave up. They were great neither in the
ueld nor at bat. But they always hus-
led to the finish. For four years now
hey have been driven at their fastest
speed. They have had both lash ana
