Mack Praises
Mccarthy and
McGraw as Tops
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. %. (UP)
Connie Mack, manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics since the
American league was organized in
1901, paid tribute Tuesday to John
McGraw of the Giants and Joe
Mccarthy of the Yankees as the
greatest team leaders in the history
of organized baseball.
Though he would not distinguish
between their abilities, Mack
stressed that they belonged to diff
ferent eras. McGraw won the Ma
tional league pennant with his Gil
ants in 1904, 05, II, IL. l3, II, 81,
%, 90, and "a, taking the world
championship in three of the 10
years. Mccarthy, beginning his
l4th straight season as head of the
Yankees, has won eight pennants
and seven world titles since 1882.
Mack, speaking to group of bus
iness men, also stressed that he
believed Robert Moses Grove, his
left-handed pitching ace, was
greater either than Christy Math-
ewson or Walter johnson.
"Mathewson only tied for the
pitching championship, Johnson
won it three times and Grove took
it six times" he said.
