So If old Connie means to turn
the key in the lock and return
no more, he at least has the com
fort Of feeling that his house is
in order. -
IN GAME SINCE EIGHTIES
He has been in baseball since
the dim but delightful eighties,
surviving the era of Diamond Jim
Brady and Lillian Russell and
wine drunk from a lady's slipper.
But of recent years he has been
building only with the idea Of
passing the tradition down to his
sons.
Connie Mack, at rs, is by many
years the oldest living manager
and active baseball man. And If
you care for my resolute opinion,
the best. McGraw always played
with money and spent lavishly, be-
ing accused often of buying" PEN
nants, notably when he brought in

from Cincinnati, and Nehf, Barnes
and others from Boston, thus lay
ing the plot for the greatest of
all records, his four-year reign be.
tween 1921 and 1924.
100000 INFIELD
Mack developed his first cham.
pion in 1905, featuring WaddeH,
Plank and the Cross Brothers, for
the price of pork tenderloin. In
1910-11-13-14, he had the then fabu-
lous 100000 infield of McInnes,
Collins. Barry and Baker, supple
mented by Pitchers Coombs, Plank
and Bender, and with few excep-
tions they cost him trolley fare.
Briefly, he knew how to get
them for nothing; develop their
genius and, at the proper time, sell
them at the top of the market.
In this way, he did more than
break up his 1914 champions when
they were beaten four straight by
the Braves in the world series. He
scattered them all over America
and its four corners.
BOWS TO MODERN TREND
He didn't come back with an.
other winner again until 1929
by which time he had bowed to
the modern trend. having paid
$4,000 each for Simmons and
Cochrane and more than 100000
for Grove. They were excellent in.
vestments, too, for they brought
three straight pennantS to Phila-
delphia between 1929-31, at which
point old Connie began selling
again for another harvest. He an
nounced at the time that he would
build another winner before he
retired.
Maybe it will never come now.
Maybe his frailty is such that be
couldn't stand the strain. If SO
and he is thinking Of withdrawal.
there Is no better time than now.

Heard on All Phases

They would be heard on every
one Of the ramified phases of
intercollegiate football, and their
judgment should be sound and
of great guidance to the colleges
and universities.
These coaches, insofar as the
public learns from year to year,
only discuss rule changes dur
ing their annual pow.wows, but
as a matter of truth, they ex.
change ideas on everything that
touches their sport.
Their findings usually die
with each convention, whereas
Bergman and the other mem
bers of his committee wish the
coaches conclusions to become
a year-around force in the game.
They are convinced broadcast
ing Of them through educational
bulletins, presc releases and ra-
dio auotletS is the answer.
BY another year, therefore.
they hope to set up such a
structure; one which will keep
the people coachconscious and
one which will be a contribution
to a sport which has outgrown
its original bounds and come to
be q vast empire wherein the
mentors viewpoint should be a
stronger influence than 1t Is

as newspapers and radio prog

aids both gambling and the

Those six evils strike the
American coaches as ugly omenS

enough to undermine their call.

eyes Of the dictator countries to the
new solidarity which the big democra-
cies will have established, and when
the three democracies are working to-
gether.' threats of war seem always
to diminish. In this connection, the
greatest danger to world peace in the
last few years has been the extreme
position taken by those "isolationists"
who have assumed that under no
circumstances would America lend
even moral support to the other de-
mocracies in war in which they were
engaged with dictatorship countries.
The best statement OF American
foreign policy was that made by AM

tering into no alliances or understand.
ings with any other nation. but. on the
other hand, America was not COM
mitting herself to staying out or going
into any situation as 1t arises. This
conveyed to the dictatorship countries
the plan hint that. If they were getting
ready to pounce on Britain and France
and precipitate 4 world war, thinking
the American granary and munitions
arsenals would not be open to the
democracies. they might have another
guess coming and be as badly fooled
next time as they were in the World
War.
Revision of the war debt question,
therefore, is in the interest OF pre-
venting a new war, and nobody hates
war more than does President Roose-
welt, as he himself has said on so many
public occasions.
Ambassador Kennedy's opportunity
can hardly be underestimated, and 1t
looks as il he will more than measure
up to his responsibilities, because he is
one OF the most capable public serv-
ants this Government has had in
recent years.

PACED now is . sweeping technical
reorganization Of the Army. 1t might
not have come of had it not been for
a certain incident on the West Point
football field.
Gen. Malin Craig, chief Of staff. Is
the reorganizer. He is preparing the
Army for the open game-swiftness,
mobility, adaptiveness, as in modern
football. 1t was an instant of inspired
open football, back in the juggernaut
days Of the guards back and the side
line buck, that saved young Malin
Craig for the Army and todays re-
ordering Of tactics and equipment.
Just before the game with Trinity
College in 1897 the West Point scholas-
tic command had decided to retire
Cadet Craig. OF an ancient Army line,
with many relatives in the service, he
had been visiting around Army posts.
His marks had suffered. The ak was
to fall just after the game.
Craig was a brilliant backfeld play
er, but somewhat given to unpla nned
maneuvers. Carrying the ball at
critical turn of the game, he lost his
interference in q broken field. He
shook off several tacklers, but, some
where around the 35-yard line, stons
wall of Trinity players loomed ahead,
Ducking a hurting body, scarcely
checking his stride, he booted a perfect
1eld goal-winning the game, with
appropriate Frank Merriwell trim
mings. OF course, the faculty couldn't
fire a hero. The AK was put away, a
tutor was found, and Cadet Craig fin
ished creditably-to establish the open
game in the American Army.

4 X Il
One Of the most difiicult problems
which representatives of the State De-
partment have to solve Is that of get
ting American citizens living abroad
in war-torn areas to leave danger
zones. Much trouble along this line
was encountered in Spain during the
early days of the civil strife in that
country. 1t was only after repeated
warnings by the Government and
after constant 'prodding" by its dip
lomatic agents in the field that these
citizens. many Of whom had estab-
lished permanent domiciles in Madrid
or elsewhere, were persuaded to leave.
This difaculty, oficials point out,
has been intensified in China. where
the consuls and other United States
representatives have 'ound it prac-
tically impossible, even with all their
persuasive powers, to effect q 100 per
cent evacuation Of American citizens
from towns or territory where death
or destruction by war has been

with the desire OF many Of these citi-
1ens to remain in these danger zones,
even at risk OF death. the State De-
partment has been most anxious to
have these people move on to safer
places. not only for their own sakes
but to avoid the possibility OF inter-
national complications.
Most people who think of barbed
