Playing
TheField
BY JACK yEIOCK

New York. Jan. 30,-Just a little
less than five years ago the name
of Connie Mack and his famous
worlds champion Athletics was by
word with baseball fans throughout
the country.
| The bugs were still hashing over
the wonderful feats of that greatest
Of all Philadelphia clubs and laud-
ing Mack as the wizard among man
ayers.
Today the members of the famous
Mackmen are scattered. The sale of
Stuffy McInnis to the Red Sox sent
the last of the once great team
away from Quakertown and long,
.iean Connie Mack remains alone as
a reminder of better days.
Baker, Barry, Collins and McInnis
the once great infield of the Phila-
delphia champions, are members of
rival clubs now. Eddie Plank is on
tie retired list and Coombs and
Bender are in the rival major leagu-
es with the Dodgers and pills.
Bullet" Joe Bush, WalIie Schang,
Strunk, Walsh, Oldring and Murphy
were sent away one by one, and
about all that Mack has left is a
franchise.
Five years ago Mack would not
have sold his famous ball club, as a
whole, for half a million iron men.
The infield combination alone was
valued at 100000. But under the
plan Mack used of disposing of his
stars the Philadelphia club received
total or around $4,000 in all.
Collins is said to have brought
$4,000. Baker, $4,000; Barry, $500
and Schang, Strunk, Bush and Nc
Innis a total of $4,000 in cash and
Boston players in addition.
Several years ago Mack gave out
statement to the effect that he was
Jisposing of players because of DIFF
ferences between the men and the
management. He said he would not
have player on his club who would
not give the club his best services,
or who was dissatisfied. Yet the ia
nous Athletics seem to have given
Mack their best, else they could
never. have captured so many worlds
perants.
The breaking UP of The Mackmen,
IN the manner it all carae about, is
the only case of the kind in big
league history.
