PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1S-Con- nie Mack's Athletics may not win the American league pennant this year. but if they miss it won't be through lack of grizzled heads and baseball brains.
 The oldest board of strategy in baseball will guide the As with the 65-year-old Mack still direct ing the show from the bench with the aid of lead pencil and a bit of paper and with the vet eran Billy Gleason. whom they still call Kid" despite his @ years, again his right hand man.
 Out on the playing field some of the time and on the coaching lines the rest. the Athletics will have Captain Eddie Collins, who at 40 is one of the oldest active performers in the majors.
 These three will do most of the actual directing when the team is in action, but they have a couple of able lieutenants in Ira Thomas, 46-year-old professor of advanced pitching, and Earl Mack. Comics son and the youngest of the five at 37, who has charge Of the rockies.
 This combination saw service last year and is showing no signs of weakening. The average age of the five is 50 years. The two Macks and Thomas were catchers in their playing days, while Glea- son and Collins got their expert ence in the infield.
 Outlining the duties of his board of strategy, Mack said Col lins when not playing will control traffic at third base. while Glea- son sees similar duty at first base. This year Mack is going to keep idle pitchers and reserv ists off the coaching lines and put the corners in charge of two old heads at the game who think quickly and quite often accurate ly.
 Thomas, an old time member of the Athletics. retains his job of preening the pitchers into top form, while the younger Mack will shepherd the first flock of battery men to the Florida train ing grounds about February 20,
