' "m The largest group in the nine teen consisted of , 15 boys who passed their Minnow tests. These tests consist of being able to ac complish 21 skills and stunts in the water, such as kicking at the wall, gliding, floating, bobbing with rhythmic breathing, recov ering objects, plunging, diving, swimming underwater, jumping into" water ' over the ' head and swimming to shallow water, swim ming on the back in order to rest, etc. The following have passed the above tests: Kenneth Bloom, Ol iver Boline, V Dick Close, Earl Cooler, Robert ' Enslen, Robert ' Macnamara, ' Bob Newcomer, Bob Pierce, George Porter, Gor don Sloaae, Bill Barlow, BUI Birke, Dorsey Caspell, Ted Dn- - Frain, and James MathJeaon. Two young men, Bill Barlow and Don Yocom, and one girl, Lor ita Garrett, have qualified as mem bers of the fish club. Requirements here are 10 tests on the' lower intermediate level, such as tread ing water with legs or arms, hor izontal sculling,' surface diving to recover objects, executing crawl stroke with . good form, plain standing dive off one meter board with minimum grade of six and a distance swim of 100 yards.. IP(lDIMr BY WHITNEY MARTIN , NEW YORK,. Jan. 12-(P)-Connie Mack held a meeting the "other day and re-elected Connie Mack as: head of the Phila delphia Athletics, but a little news also came out of the session. , It was announced a determined effort should be made to get out of "the American league cellar. Now this sounds as if other efforts in recent years had been I something less than determined, and that the attitude was that t if the team did by chance get out, fine but if it didn't, that ; was okay too. ; V We don't think the statement! really was meant to convey thatt impression, but that it was T made for the digestion of the loyal fans. Sort of a winter ton ic, sugar coated.' ! If ever the A's had a chance to get out of the cellar it is this year,' as there won't be much holding down the trapdoor, with the manpower situation of the other clubs such as it is. It won't be so much a case of the A's getting stronger as the other clubs dropping down to the level of the A's and, at the rate they have been losing their ITey men, that includes the Yankees. The Philadelphia club's domination of the cellar in recent years has been enough to make even its most loyal customers turn a trifle sour, and with all due consideration to Mr. Mack we think that were, it not for his years and the fact he is 'something of a baseball tradi tion," like the seventh-inning stretch, their would have been more than a' little pot-shooting in his direction,- J X In some cases where a team fails the manager is excused and the blame thrown on the front office for not acquiring workable ma terial. Mr. Mack is both manager and the front office, so the suc ; cess or ailure of the club is entirely in his hands and he can't hold I up any Charlie McCarthy to draw the fire. He's all alone out in the ?v openly1-- f:--V'- ' : "A ' . . Mack Fine Old Man ; That possible critics have refrained from aiming a this lean frame Is a tribute to his standing among baseball fans. That and his years and the fact that in the rapidly-hazing past he turned out great teams. He's a fine old gentleman, is Mr. Mack, and the average fan would no more think of criticizing him than he would think of criticizing a million-dollar legacy. ! : : ' Anyway, the club is going to make more than an effort to get out j of the cellar this year. It's going to be a determined effort which' will be thwarted only if the other teams are just as determined to stay put. -In a way, though, it's too bad the determined effort wasn't made in normal years This year no team will be criticized for fmlahtng last. In fact, it might be something plays a nullo hand and fails; to win a game dt can Just say: "Well, look at our service; list," and there's no answer! to that.
