Mack, From Sick Bed
Reveals Plans for
Pennant Team
Willing to Buy or Trade
In Determined Effort
For One More Flag
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29-Con-
ME Mack, winning over an illness
that kept him in bed for weeks, is
mapping a swapping and buying
program he hopes will return his
equally ailing Athletics to power in
the American League.
Connie, at rs, is determined to
produce another pennant winner.
He hoped he had the nucleus for a
championhip team this year and
the clubs showing is keen disap-
pointment.
So from his sick bed, which he
leaves only for brief intervals each
day, Mack is looking toward 1910.
Son Reveals Plans.
His plans were disclosed today by
his son Earle, acting manager, who
said:
IF there is any way for us to get
ball players, we're interested. This
years team won't do.
Well spend If we can get what
we want. Well trade with anybody
and, with the exception of a few
players, anyone on our roster is
available"
Only 10 players of the present
Athletic squad are likely to survive
Mack's remodeling program. Out
fielders Bob johnson, Sam Chap
man and Wally Moses are certain
to stay, Earle Mack said, along with
Catchers Frank Hayes and Earle
Brucker.
Names Satisfactory Players.
Mack also let it be known he sees
a place on his 1910 team for First
Baseman Dick Siebert, Rookie In
flelders Bill Nagel and Joe Ganten-
bein and a pair of flrst-year out
flelders, All-America Football Play
er Eric Upton and Dee Miles. He
named no others.
Before his illness Mack dispatched
his oldtime hurting star, Chief
Bender, and Scouts Phil Haggerty
and Ira Thomas to look for pitchers
above everything else.

Revival Of SundIot Pep

Need, Says Bruin
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Charley
Root, the renaissance man of the
Chicago Cubs, sterling pitcher at
40, confided today his opinion that
a return of old-time baseball mania
on the pasture diamonds might be
the best tonic for the big leagues.
Il think few boys play baseball
like we used to play it, said Root,
who added: 1--WE played all day,
missing our meals, and deeply re-
senting darkness"
1T strikes me that the youngsters
have lost that intensity. We notice
this-well, almost Indifference
among many of the young players
that come up for tryouts.
"Organized baseball needs more
players-badly. And the kids aren't
helping us any"
Keeps in Trim Year Around.
The reason why the public ex-
presses amazement when an athlete
shows no serious falling off after
IS or 40, he said, is because men,
generally. take poor care of them
selves and stop playing too early in
life.
Many fellows my age and younger
appear and act like old men," Root
said, because they stop playing at
80 or so and then sag all over the
place"

ing, winters spent at outdoor work

He smashed out a home run at
Cincinnati few weeks ago to win
tight game. A cool worker on the
mound, he famed three in a row,
with two on bases, at Boston a few
days ago. A relief pitcher by classi-
fication, he has served ably of late
as a starting hurler. His record
for 1889 so far is four victories and
four defeats. He has been in pro-
fessional baseball 10 years, IA of
