Mack's SO years OF baseball ex-
perience isn't much help when it
comes to learning exactly what the
Philadelphia fans want in the way
of ball team-if anything. He
broke up his greatest ball clubs,
his 1914 and 1929 championship
teams, because the local fans were
tired of seeing the club win. Last
season, with a team that occupied
the cellar, the clicking of the turn
stiles died down to whisper. Hav-
ing further weakened his Athletics
by the sales to Boston, Connie
may well expect to have the ball
park all to himself.
At 70, Mack insists he is start
ing to build another pennant win
ner. 1t took him Is years TO get
back to the top of the pile after
he wrecked his 1914 champions. Add
Is onto his 70 and that would give
Connie another winner at 49, Mack
may still be managing the club at
88 but the odds are against him.
1t would be interesting to know
Comics thoughts as he sits back
in the shade of the dugout watch
ing teams like Boston and Detroit
fighting it out for the pennant,
teams that have been bolstered by
the very men who won champion
ships for him a few years ago OF
course he has the money-or had
it, at least-but he wouldn't be
human if his thoughts didn't go
back to the good old days, back in
1929 when his Athletics beat the
Chicago Cubs for the world title.
They're Still Around
1t is interesting to note that all
but three of the regulars of the
1929 world champion Athletics are
still starring in the big leagues.
Bishop, Boley and Miller have pass

regular playing is concerned. But

Olsen was declared conqueror Of

It seems Dusek kicked Olsen in

swings at Referee Bortnick. One
can stand so much, so Mr.. Bort

hand, an act that met the approval
of the assemblage.

Davis To p dy
For Injured
Harris

Winding up their preparations
for the game against William and
Mary Norfolk Branch) on the
Kendall Green field tomorrow af-
ternoon with series of practice
Scrimmage sessions with the
George Washington Frosh and
other District teams in its class,
che Gallaudet gridderS have been
pronounced ready by Coach
Mitchell. Mitchell has been more
than pleased over the improve
ment shown by the Blues since the
Bridgewater game two weeks ago
when the Kendall Greeners bowed
down in unexpected defeat to the
VirginianS. Since then the Blues
have received more coaching in
the technique of holding the ball,
and are better able to put up a
good defense against an aerial at
tack.
Gallaudet is anticipating plenty
of opposition, as the undefeated
William and Mary team has been
given a better rating than last
year, when it defeated the Blues
by a score of 81 to 0. However, Or
rel Mitchell feels confident that
the Gallaudet team will make a
much better showing this time,
since it has already tried out the
new system in a game and the
players are more familiar with
the workings.
The coaches are dubious as to
whether Harris, the sensation I'M
covered in this years crop of new
students, will be used as the injury
he received in the Bridgewater
game has not healed as yet. Frank
Davis will probably be the starting
fullback, with Conley Akin and
Dan Long as halfbacks. Race
Drake will be quarterback.
The line will probably consist
of Capt. Norman Brown and Fay
Hoehn, ends; Olive Braendlove
and George Culbertson, tackles;
Henry Reidleberger and Milan
Mrkobred, guards, and Olaf Toilet
son at center, although Mitchell
has declared his intention to use
every man on the squad, if pos
Sible. Among the substitutes that
are likely to make good are: Jeff
Tharp, Raymond Atwood, Bob
Clingenpeel, Marvin Wolach, Leo
Latz, Leon Auerbach and Alfred
Hoffmeister.
The William and Mary game
will be played on Hotchkiss Field,
on Kendall Green Saturday after
noon at 2:30.

PARENTS AID URGED
TO GUARD COASTERS
Not Enough Police to Patrol All
Blocked Streets, Traffic
Aide Saws.

The cooperation Of parents in pro-
tecting their children from injury
while coasting on Washington streets
was asked today by Assistant Trafic
Director M. o. Eldridge.
In response to plea from A. r.
Cochel. $50 Jefferson street, whose IL
year-old daughter Edna was injured
recently when her sled ran into a
parked car while coasting near her
home, Eldridge said that not enough
policemen are available to guard the
Is or 20 streets set aside for coasting.
1--WE have put UP signs warning
drivers to be careful and watch out
for children coasting, but the Police
Department hasn't enough men to
guard those streets all day long.
THE streets can't be blocked be-
cause it would be impossible for resi-
dents to get in and out and for coal.
groceries and a hundred other things
to be delivered to homes. Well have
to ask the cooperation of parents"
Eldridge pointed out that even II
car parking were prohibited, the chill
dren might crash into the curbs or
trees, and parking ban would not
solve the problem.
1--WE are doing the best We can with
the force available. We have put
up signs and believe that most drivers
are careful on the streets marked. but
the parents will have to help out to
make coasting safe" he said.
