Connie Mack Is Dean
 Of Major Managers

Cornelius McGillicuddy, better known as Connie Mack, Is the oldest manager in the major leagues. Con- nie celebrated his fifty-seventh birth day on December 23. When the base ball season opens next spring the directing genius of the Athletics will be close to fifty-eight years of age.
 There are several magnates dn the majors who are Comics seniors, but there are no managers. He is eleven years the senior of John McGraw, leader of the Giants, and Miller Hug gins at thirty-nine Is a mere youth Connie was playing ball before Hug was born.
 Mack is one of the most remark able figures in American sport. Connie has been identified with baseball fo1 the past thirty-five years and during that time he has seen the game ir its most interesting stages. Philadelphia fans claim that Mack has been one of the city's best ad- vertisen ents.

TANKS TRYING
 TO GET BAKER
 TO PLAY AGAIN

New York Jan. 10-Desptte the an- nouncement he made last Fall that he would never play baseball again, Frank Baker, the hard-hitting thlrd baseman of the Yankees. undoubtedly will be back this Spring.
 Colonel Ruppert yesterday wired Huggins, who is en route from Los Angeles, where he signed Babe Rutn' to stop off at Trappe, Md, the nome of Baker. and endeavor to bring the slusger into line. There is no doupt that the Yankees will make J. Frank lin such a f1attering offer that he will not be able to spurn it.
 The Yankees owners are out to win the pennant this year. Their first move to accomplish this was when they purchased Ruth for sIzo'- O0o. They now are after another star outfie1der and one or the sree'e~' pitchers in baseball.
 Huggins will tell Baker this good news and endeavor to prove to him that he owes it to the club and the New York fans to play one more year. Colonels Ruppert and Huston are especially anxious to win this season because of their fight with Ban Johnson. It would be an aW1ui blow to the pompous American League president to have one of the insurgent clubs win the flag. Baker probably cares as much TOT Johnson as Ruppert and Huston do. Ban caused the third place m<Sey o1 the worlds series, which r1ghtrully belongs to the Yankee athletics, to be held up. Huggins will use this angle to spur Baker into signing a con- tract. Also an offer of over $1o,OOC | should have a little effect on the big l fellow.
 In case Baker does refuse to play | Fewpster will be the regular third | baseman. Huggins announced this 1 some time ago. While, Fewstel l would add a lot of speed to the team
 offensively, there is no getting away from the fact that Baker is needed
 He hit .293 last season and was out fielded only by Witt and Weaver.

Roney and Boles Would Not Pay Attention to Authori-
 ties Warning.

Mexico, City, Jan. 10.-F. J. Roneyl and Earl Bo1es, Americans, who met their death in the Tampico region early this month, were killed by rebels after having disregarded warn ings from local authorities, who ad- vised them not to venture into law less regions alone, according to tele- grams from state officials at Tam pico given out by the interior de- pertinent. They were shot by out laws on the seashore between camps belonging to the International and Trans-Continenta1 Oil Companies, it is said.
 Advices given out here state that followers of General Manuel Pe1aez, outlaw chief and virtually independ- ent ruler in that district had been expecting to receive munitions from a steamer at that point on the coast. Certain bandits who were rivals of adherents of Pelaez learned of the expected shipment. They laid in wait at a point where they thought the munitions would be landed and when Roney and Bowles appeared, the arms to the Pelaez forces. Fire was opened upon the two men, who were killed.
 It is stated government forces are pursuing the bandits and that the foreign office has asked local auth ori- ties for further information regard ing the shooting of the two Ameri- cans,

French Auto Driver Wants Coin To Help
 Him Build New Cal

Paris, France, Jan. 10.-Jean Por- porato, one of the most celebrated of European racing drivers, is looking for an American sportsman to join him in an attempt to win the next International 50O-mile Sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis Motor Speed way, Monday, May 31, 1920.
 Porporato has secured an option on a special 1S9-cubic inch engine de- signed by Cauzin, one of the most famous French engineers. The pow CT developed by the engine Is 100 h. D., and it was recently run on the block eight consecutive days and nights at 5000 r. p. m., without a stop, giving sufficient indication as to it's staying power.
 It is Porporato's plan to drop this engine to a chassis and try to find some American sportsman or fac tory to back him in the venture. His own finances are low at present, due to his having just been released from the army, after four years of service Porporato estimates the cost o1 carrying out his plan to be not in ex- cess of 50,000 francs, which, at the present low rate of exchange figures about. 5000.
