Hats of to Mr.. Connie Mack, the

The 84-year-old gentleman, now
in his 47th year as manager OF

Mr.. Mack has been the target Of

Disgruntled fans who had been

gan to stay away from the park.
For the first time in nearly 80 years
the Phillies outdrew the AS last
year, attracting 1,045,247 fans to

They expected to see the same

Led by their first base rookie SEN

Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs,

the National League leading Bruins.
Torgeson hammered in five runs on
two doubles, single and his eighth

Warren SPAIN, although needing
the help of Anton Karl in the sixth,

The st. Louis Cardinals found
their home field no different from
