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

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
