second unbeaten season and will

played for the ShrinerS' Crippled

Eastern squad would turn to the

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. %. -
Connie Mack celebrated his seth
birthday today by solving the
mystery of his birth date, ex-
pressing opposition to third
major league, calling night base
ball good for the game, and re-
GREETING he didn't go in for farm
teams years ago.
The exact date of Macks birth
has puzzled biographers for years.
But no more. The president of
the Athletics started his goth
year by showing all his birthday
party guests his baptismal certi-
flcate.
The certificate was made out
by the Rev. Thomas Sheerin at
the Church of the Holy Rosary,
Spencer, Mass. 1t shows Cornelius
McGillicuddy was born December
%, 1862. and was baptized jan
uary 4. 1868.
Mack said the certificate was
found among the church records
by the Rev. DR.. James McGil-
llcuddy of East Brookfield, Mass,
and sent to him in 1886. He found
it the other day among some old
papers. Father McGillicuddy is no
relation to the McGillicuddy who
changed his name to Mack.
With the date of his birth
settled, the old gentleman stood
in front of huge birthday cake
and posed for television cameras
and news photographers. He
Iblinked into the flashing bulbs and
perspired under the hot TV lamps
but never once complained.
Then he answered barraee of
questions from reporters who,
amazingly enough after these
many Mack birthday celebrations,
still had a few posers for Connie
to answer.
| Il don't think it would be a good
idea for the Pacific Coast League
to become a major league, Mr.
Mack said in his slow drawl.
Il don't think some of those
West Coast owners appreciate the
tremendous step it is to walk into
major league baseball. Baltimore
is a typical example. Baltimore
has been in several major leagues
and 1t could stand up only as long
Ias 1t had first-place team. No.
those cities out there wouldn't and
couldn't support a loser. And they
can't all win"
Asked about night baseball
Mack said, Il think night base
ball is good for the game. We GER
Itainly draw more people at night
since it gives more people chance
to see the games. AS for the play
