CONNIE MACK'S
STARS ALL GONE
Famous Champion Baseball
Aggregation A Now Scattered;
Big Prices Paid

New York, Jan. 15.--The trade
which sends John "Stuffy" McIni.,s
TO the Boston American League clus
marks the complete disintegration
of what, in many respects, was the
greatest professional baseball ma
chine ever assembled in either of
the major leagues.
Mclnnis, the last cog in the COM
hination, moves on to n rival team
which has absorbed so per cent. of
the players whom Connie Mack
welded into an invincible group of
diamond stars, supreme holders of
pennants and world championships.
The Philadelphia Athletics reach
ed the zenith of their team play
during the season of 1918, when
they simply walked away with the
American League championship of
tnat year, and followed the capture
OF the pennant with 4 decisive vic
Z tory over the New York Nationals in
, the world series of that season by
Tour games to one.
The Athletics finished the. regular
season with n record of 90 games
"on, 81 lost and a percentage OF
.62t. This was IS games better than
the average of the Washington team.
which closed the year in second
place.
Connie Mack's players took the
lead in the pennant race during the
second week of the season, which
opened about the middle of April,
1918. and We're never headed or tied
in the struggle for the title thereat-
ter. The records show that the Ath-
/ letics led the league in team bat
ting with .2S5 and in fielding with
.96G.

other day in reports to the War De-
partment. Baker was probably the
greatest hockey player ever known
in the United States, and he was
rated one of the very best football
players.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-15
His Strongest Team


1t goes without saying that Mack
would naturally present his strong
est combination in the worlds series,
and the lineup against the Giants
in the battle for the premier base
ball honors of 1913 may be taken
as the best and most powerful ar
rangement available.
This combination, which defeated
the New York team four out of five
games, played as follows: L. Muir
ply, right field; Oldring, left field;
Collins. second base; Baker, third
base: McInnis, first base: Strunk,
center field; Barry, shortstop;
Schang, catcher; Lapp, catcher;
Bender, Plank or Bush, pitcher. Dur
ing the regular season other play
srs were used and were factors in
winning the pennant, but the men
mentioned were the pick of the COM
hination.
To-day not one of these twelve
players is a member of the team,
and Connie Mack is engaged in an
attempt to rebuild his baseball ma
chine with new material. Murphy
was sold to the Chicago Americans
for $4,000; Collins went to the same
club for $4,000, as did Lapp with
out cash consideration. The Boston
Americans took five men of the
COM bination at one time or another.
Strunk, Schang and Bush became
the property of the Red SoX in the
recent $50, 900 deal. Mclnnis has
followed his former teammates as
the result of the latest trade, al
though so far as is known no money
consideration is invilved. Barry pre-
ceded these players to Boston, bring
ing the Philadelphia club $500, and
last season managed the Red SoN.
Some Big Prices
1t will be seen that if the publicly
announced figures IN connection
with these deals are correct, the
Boston club paid s6S,000 in addi-
ton to some players for these five
Athletics. The Chicago White Sox
paid $4,000 for Murphy and Col
Inns.
The New York Americans also
contributed to the Philadelphia
strongboX, as the Yankee club own
ers gave $37,500 Tor Baker and $5,-
coo for Oldring, although it Was re-
ported later that the Philadelphia
club returned this sum, or a por-
ton of it. when Oldring failed to
continue with the New York team.
The two pitchers, Bender and Plank,
were Internationally released by
Manager Mack, thus completing the
breaking up of the famous combina-
ton.
The disruption of the Athletics
also formed one of the most sensa-
tional features of modern baseball
history. The team started poorly at
the beginning of the 1914 season,
but swung into it's stride early in
June, and again cantered home an
easy pennant winner.
