Connie Mack And Wife
 Separated

Philadelphia, April 2S-(UP)- Connie Mack, baseball's grand old man, and his wife were living apart today following a separation over a financial arrangement.
 The sepration was disclosed by his wife who said Mack, born Cor nelius J. McGillicuddy SS years ago, had divided more than half of his stock in the Philadelphia Athletics, estimated at $l,000,000, among three of his sons.
 Mrs. Gillicuddy said she learn- ed of the transfer of the stock in October, and travelled to St, Peters, burg, Fla, two months later to dis- cuss 1t with him.
 "Ie said 1t would all be straigh- tened out in two or three years," she said. "He is 83, and life is too uncertain to anticiapte what may happen in the next two or three years. After all, there are eight per- sons to be considered-hiS seven children and myself. It doesn't look very good when he gives more than half the stock to three of them," she said.
 Following her return to this city early this year, Mack sent for his clothes, saying he was not return ing to their home, she revealed.
 Living Apart
 Mrs. McGillicuddy said that both she and the veteran manager were living alone, she at their German town home, and Mack at an apart ment hotel.
 She said there was little possib- ility of a reconciliation and that no financial arrangements had been made. I'm on my own, but I don't know how long I'll be able to stand up," she added,
 She said the stock he'd been divi- ded between Earl and Roy Mack sons of Mack by a previous mar riage, and her son Connie, Jr. Four daughters were born during the couples marriage. Another daugh- ter, born to Mack's first wife, died several years ago.
