(Associated Press Sports Editor*
Sometimes the first sixty-six
years are the hardest. Four years
ago, I sat with Connie Mack in
the towered, neatly ordered office
lie occupies at Shibe Park when
not poised on the edge of the dug
out, score-card in hand, directing
the field play of the Philadelphia
Athletics.
“I thought this was to be our
year but it seems that fate is
against us.’* said Connie. He look
ed old and weary. His youthful
team had “blown” a good lead;
cracked in the stretch under the
strain of a tight pennant race.
Two years later, in 1927. I sat for
an hour in the same office, listen
ing to Connie label the Yankees
as one of the greatest teams of ail
time in a year in which Babe RiuSi
& Company made the American
league race a runaway.
“But for bad breaks we might
have made it closer but I do not
think ours or any other ciub couui
have stopped the Yanks this sea
son."
• • •
Shift the scenery to indicate the
lapse of two more years. It's Aug
ust, 1929. and hot; hotter in Phila
delphia than most places. Connie
removes coat, collar, tie and finally
his shirt, somewhat apologetically.
His visitor perhaps would like to do
the same.
There is a gleam in the Old Mas
ter's eye that wasn't there four
years ago or two years ago. In
his 67th year. Mark's step is spring
ier, his kindly eyes twinkle. Soft
spoken, quiet and courteous.
This is THE year. You can sec
what it means to Connie in nearly
every word and gesture. Too many
disappointments, the caution of an
old campaigner keep Connie some
what . rrv.-. But it takes no
scientist to tell that to this lean,
lovable man of nearly three score
and ten. the American league pen
nant that now seems certain to oe
his for 1^29 means more than any
of his past achievements.
Does he consider the pennant
wen?
“Well, I'm proud of the way the
boys have gone along. We are in a
good position now-. W'e have all the
advantage this year. Last season
we had to do the chasing anti
found the strain too much when
we finally caught up w-ith the Yan
kees. The club is playing steady
ball now and ought to w-in, but we
don't take anything for granted.
•;You know, and Connie's grey
eyes twinkled. “we kind of surprised
'em this year. They didn t thing
much of us in the spring training
I'll admit we didn't look so good
and I talked pessimistically. But I
really lelt this was our year and I
just wanted to prevent any chance
of over-confidence or the folks ex
pecting too much of us."
• • •
How do the “folks'* feel now?
“Well, you know- it's sometimes
astonrhing. They come to get
autographs and pictures every day.
Some people think we have won al
ready. They send me all kinds of
gifts.” and Connie waved his hand
at an assortment. “I get letteis
from all over the country, advising
warning, even threatening. A lot
of them as much as teli me if we
don't win this year they are ‘off
us’.”
What's the main reason for the
As big lead?
“Well, good steady ball. But
mostly confidence now. Once tlic
boys found they c uld beat th“
Yankees and beat them decisively,
they hit their stride. We beat the
champions in their own grounds
and we beat them here. And
when we won it was by good mar
gins while they just barely beat tiv
when they did. like that 2-1 ganip

Connie dwells upon the little

as great as the famous machine he
guided to four pennants and three
world's championships from 1910 to

3 NET QUEENS
!N TITLE RACE
61 Others in National Field
A gains Wills, Mallory
and Bundy
FOREST HILLS. N. Y.. Aug. 19.—
Three players who have known
what it is to be queen of American
courts and 61 others who would
like to know were here today for
the opening of the women's national
tennis championships at the West
Side Tennis club.
Helen Wills, of Berkeley. Calif.,
defending champion, has won the
title five times. Among the 63
players seeking to dethrone her
are Mrs. Molla Mallory, eight-times
national champion, and Mrs May
Sutton Bundy of Santa Monica,
titleholder in 1904.
Miss Wills and Mrs. Mallory have
had almost a strangle hold on the
singles championship ever since
1915. Only once in the last 14
years has any other player won the
title. Mrs. Hazel Hotchkiss Wight
tran turned the trick back in 1919.
Mrs. Mallory, then Molla Bjurstedt.
began her reign in 1915. won again
in 1916-17-18-20-21-22-26. Miss
Wills first won the title in 1923. re
peated in 1924-25. did not defend
it in 1926 and won it again in 1927
and 1928.
Miss Wills' most serious opposi
tion this year is expected to come
not from either Mrs. Mallory or
Mrs Bundy but from several young
er players.
England has sent a delegation of
six. headed by 18-year-old Betty
Nuthall who gave the American
champions such a terrific battle in
the Wightman cup matches that
some critics concede her a better
than outside chance of winning the
championship. Canada has enter
ed three players.

have as its aim l national advertls- |
ing campaign for this section, Whit
Rogers, secretary for the McAllen
Chamber of Commerce. Friday was
the principal speaker at the Mc
Allen Lions club's weekly luncheon
Rogers declared that "advertls- j
ing the Valley y0 advertising Its j
products” was the simplest but most 1
effective method of selling the Ma
gic Valley of the lower Rio Grande j
to the rest of the world, and that
Valley chambers of commerce were j
preparing to make a concerted
movement to obtain sufficient back
ing to carry out their plan.
While Rogers did not mention the
