zEST OVER
40 YEARS.

DETROIT, Mich, July %.
SWhen 1 become a handicap to
my ball club-and hope /
win be the first to realize the
fact-I will retire and turn the
task of running the Athletics
over to a younger man. But
until that day comes, may 1t
be far distant, 1 will remain
right where 1 am"
The speaker is Connie Mack,
Oldest manager in baseball, now
In his thirty-second year as leader
Of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Each successive year." con-
tinued the kindly seer Of TiOga,
''the retirement rumOr crops up
In various sources. When 1

there will be no rumOr. / will
announce my own retirement.
RETAINS ZEST FOR GAME
81 have the same keen zest
for every game / had 40 years
ago." Connie said, and his
clear Irish blue eyes blazed.
Age advances only when en-

begin, I'm 21 all over again;
FL in spirit with all the ad-
Vantages of twice that many
years Of active service in base

Mack. "My task is to give
those young ball players the
benefit of my years in baseball,
to guide them with my expert.
ence. When I cannot do that
any lOnger-when 1 know that
/ am no longer q benefit to my
ball cIub-then will summon
my successor into my office and
hand over the management Of
the club to him.
"Why should I retire from

been my life. would not know
what to do if retired. If I
were idle / would age overnight.
I'm only FL when the game
starts"
"What do you think of the
pennant race?" I asked him.
Then, without giving him a
chance to reply, I put the second
question:
"Can the Athletics catch the
YankeeS?"
81 am beginning to have my
doubts about catching the Yam
KEGS" he answered; "but I will
not admit that it cannot be
done. A lead such as the Van
KEGS have at this time places
all rivals under a terrific diSad.

The spirit of the Yankees is
bright and bOuyant. This is the
spirit of the winner. / am
fighting to revive the spirit of
competition in our club. This
time last year we were 1917
games ahead of the Yankees.
We are far behind this year,
and I know that this ball club
is stronger in all but one posi-
tiOn than it was last year.
"Our pitching is not as strong
and there is no apparent rea-

straight ball games. His leg is
still sore and he can't bear

TOO SATISFIED
Temperament, call it win
ming spirit, If you wish, is hurt
ing my club this year." con-
tinued Mack. ''The men are
entirely too satisfied. They've
been winning, and a club that
has been winning is inclined to
be satisfied.
"If our pitchers come back
to where they were, there is no
telling where our club will go.
III the boys who are satisfied
suddenly become seized with
ambition, there's no telling
where we will go or what we
might accomplish.
eff the pitchers come back,
then most emphatically no; the
Yankees are not too far ahead
