TO ACT At PROPER
TIME, SAYS MACK

The Athletics are one Of the five
clubs not represented at the Chicago
meeting. Connie Mack Is not in favor
Of the civilian" tribunal plan at this
time. He has asserted that any action
by the big league magnates at this time
is out of order, believing that the Cook
county grand jury investigation of the
big baseball scandal that thus far has
resulted in indictments against eight
former members of the Chicago White
SoI for "throwing' games in the
world series of 1910 should be cleared
up first.
1.-THE American League consists OF
eight clubs said Manager Mack. "Ir
view of the fact that President Bar
johnson had not called n meeting oi
the league and that only three clubs
of the circuit went to Chicago, I do no,
see how the representatives Of those
three clubs can do any talking or take
any action for the American League
Anything they might do and propose t.
do would certainly be unofficial.
President johnson and the Amer
iran League will act at the propel
