Philadelphia. Pa. July 2.-Jack Barry.

with other wearers Of Boston Red sox

crumbled Athletics and perch 1t on the

embryo to one Of basebalrs greatest
shortstops. Barry is no longer one OF
the Athletics. He was traded or sold.
which it was Manager Mack declined to
say, today to the Boston Red Sox. 1t is
only natural that he should fight just as
hard for his new boss, Carrisan. as he
did for seven seasons for Mack.
This, the case. Barry will be heard from
as heretofore by the fans of the great
national sport. but 1t is with phantoms
Of his past valor on the diamond that
the famous shortstop's departure will be
accepted by local fandom.
1t is learned from an authoritative

Mack Proposes to Create In

OTHER SPORTING GOSSIP
Johnson and Boehlins Slated to Op-
pose New Workers in Double
header Today.
OTHER SPORTING GOSSIP
BY WILLIAM PEET.

That Connie Mack is going to make
good his threat and build up a brand
new ball club for Philadelphia is be-
ing emphasized more and more each
day. Mack's latest move was pulled
yesterday when he sold Jack Barry to
Boston. thus leaving only Stuffy Nc
Innes Of his original 100000 infield.
1t Is believed that the principal rea-
son why Connie Mack has seen fit to
wreck his old championship club is be-
cause the fans Of Philadelphia were
tired Of seeing the same faces day after
day and would not patronize the
games.
the Mackmen could not scare up more
than a corporals guard for the games
at Shibe Park. and this set Connie
Mack thinking.
IF they won't patronize a winning
team what am I going to do?" Mack
is reported to have said last winter.
following this up with the remark that
his only salvation was to create the
interest anew by letting the old play
ers 60 and building up with young
sters gathered from the sand lots and
college ranks.
This is exactly what Mack appears
to be doing. and it would not be at
all surprising II Jack Lapp, Rube
Oldring, and Eddie Murphy were all
sold before the present season comes
to q close.
That Connie Mack will eventually
turn out another great ball club. one
able to win pennants. goes without
saying. He has wrecked his club be-
fore. and bH1lded successfully from the
ground up. He not only can. but will
do SO again.
Joe Boehling and Walter johnson are
slated to oppose the New York Yankees
in today's double-header at the Polo
Grounds. New York. Caldwell and
Brown are booked to twirl for the
Yankees.
Douglas Nen Is charged with giving
New York its winning run yesterday by
committing an error. This looks very
nice in print, putting the defeat squarely
up to young Mr.. Neff. but how about a
little hitting behind Shaw? The box
score shows that Cy Pieh held the Griff-
men to but two hits, while the New
Workers were only able to gather the
same number of Shaw.
The game was lost because the Ma
tionals could not hit hard enough to score
couple Of runs. The pitching so far
as Washington was concerned. was air.
tight. Inability to hit has cost the Griff-
men more ball games this season than
have been lost on account Of ragged
fielding.
Bob Shawkey declares that he will not
report to the New York Americans un-
less he is given a new contract. calling
for more money. Just what Shawkey has
done to warrant this demand is more
than local fans can imagine. He GER
tainly was a disappointment to the Mack
men. especially after getting away to q
good start. Inability to pitch regularly
is Shawkey's greatest drawback.
