NEW YORK, Feb. ..-tP)-Before
some Of the 1929 major league man
ayers bad played their first game Of
baseball two Of the present-day pi-
lots were handling the very ball
clubs which they head today.
This is one way of saying that
this year Connie Mack starts his
twenty-ninth season with the Ath-
letics and John McGraw his twenty
seventh with the Giants.
At 81 Connie Mack begins another
term with his Athletics, q club he
directed yer before the best days

Collins, Coomhs, Amos Strurk, Frank
Baker, Rube Oldring and others Of
the great old Philadelphia machine
that swept the baseball world in
three of the four years between 1910
and 1913.
McGraw. Mack's junior by II
years, has been showing the Giants
the way to preseason headquarters
ever since 1903. His career has been
even more remarkable than that Of
the AS chieftain, since the Little
Napoleon has won ten pennants to
Mack's six. Both have three worlds
championships to their credit.
Perhaps these old masters of the
game are not rs spry as when they
