now, with all the reports floating
around. So far as the team is con-
cerned. l don't know what Mack has in
team. and I feel satisfied that he is
doing what he thinks Is best. He has
built UP a winner from nothing before
and 1 think he can do 1t again.
Barry Back Today.
Jack Barry. who has been out of the
game several days nursing a sore hand,
received in sliding into second base,
will join the team at Boston today and
play against the Red Sox. 1t would not
be surprising If Barry was released.
despite Manager Macks refusal to deny
the report.
Mack secured Barry from Holy Cross
and developed him the same way he did
Collins. who came from Columbia. Mack
has several young players either under
contract or ready to be given try-out,
SO that any time a new face appears in
the Athletics lineup it will be no
surprise to the fans.
The fact that it Is impossible to ask
waivers on a player without the news
leaking out has incensed Manager Mack
to such an extent that it is likely he
will enter another protest with Presi-
dent Johnson. When waivers were
asked on Bender, Plank and Coombs the
news leaked out before Mack was ready
to make his announcement. and Hughey
Jennings was charged with making it
public. AS soon as Shawkey was listed
for release, the news became known,
and Connie is determined now that
nothing more will be known until he is
ready to give 1t out himself 1t is more
than likely he will sell outright any
of the players he wishes to dispose OF
instead of asking waivers on them, 10
that any further changes he may have
in view will not be known until the
deal is completed.
