With only five minutes to play and
the visitors holding 3i-24 advan.
tage, there ensued period Of the
toughest basket ball the pros gym
has seen this year. Everett (Honey
Boy) Russell and Whitley Wilson each
scored a pair Of field goals that put
Heurichs ahead, 1891, q lead which
went as Weiner scored from the side
line. But Tiny Ingham dribbled in
with snowbird and Wilson shot one
that hit the rim Of the basket and
dropped in for the winning points.

Mack Seen Successor.

THE question of who will replace the
veteran magnate as head of the
base ball club was matter Of con-
lecture.
In some quarters it was thought his
brother would take the helm. Others,
however, believed that Connie Mack.
manager of the Athletics, might be-
come the new president. Although
the ownership of the club stock has
been kept a secret, it was reliably re-
ported Mack owns controlling in
terest.
Born in Phila delphia January 13,
1866, Shibe's interest in base ball was
first evident when he played on anna
teur teams. In 1901 his father, the
late Benjamin F. Shibe, and Connie
Mack combined their interests to pur-
chase the Athletics base ball fran
chise and started the club in the new
ly formed American League.
Tom Shibe bought stock in the or
ganization and was made vice presi-
dent. He succeeded to the presidency
after the death of his father in 1922.
Because of the press of other busi-
ness, Shibe entrusted much of the
playing operations of the club to his
brother and the veteran Mack. In
American League circles, however,
Shibe's voice commanded attention,
and his views were welcomed and
treated with respect. He and Presi-
dent Will Harridge were warm friends.

This week Rabbit Maranville made

He was appointed manager of the

may be a brand-new career.

Once, when he was managing a Ma

him selling newspapers outside the ball
