SALE OF FIVE FADING STARS CONSIDERED WISE MOVE ON PART OF VETERAN CONNIE MACK By WILLIAM MITT Central Press Sports Editor Somehow, your correspondent just cannot assist Connie Mack in weeping A over the passing of his galaxy of stars to other clubs. We have 'we are not prepared to shed them now.

Reasons? Many of them, A few: but these "stars" has lost lustre, and one or two appear very close to the end of their string as veteran play- ers. received something in the neighborhood of for his five brilliants. Many a fan who weeps over Mack's sad plight would trade his grandmother, several aunts and uncles and throw in his mother- in-law, gratis, for faf less. Athletics, Grove-less, Cochrane-less, Bishop-less and Walberg-less, are still a pretty fair ball club to say the least. No.

Instead of being a tragic fig- ure the solemn-faced Mr. Mack appears to have conducted a scries of very smart deals, indeed. Connie Mack, like Abraham Lincoln, was happily endowed with a sad face. His gaunt frame, time-lined countenance, sorrowful gaze and thinning locks are easily an object of sympathy when Mr. Mack faces defeat on the ball field.

His g'reat to baseball than his great string of triumphs has made Con- nie the "grand old man" of his sport. The traditional Mackian picture is that of the weary aged warrior alone-in the solitude of his cubby hole office in Shibe park sadly regarding the bitter gift of the years instead of the real picture, a shrewd leader and formidable fpe-whd has had far greater success than any contemporary baseball manager. Don't get your correspondent wrong. There is no one in baseball more admired than deservedly so. He is a fine gentleman and an expert in his line.

But weep because he sold some ball players for astonishingly large sum of money? Why? who have already consigned the Philadelphia Athletics to last place in the league in 1934 have forgotten something. In. fact, they have forgotten several things.

The. sheriff got most of his stars, but Connie Mack will have the American league's batting champion, husky Jimmy Foxx, still with him when he starts rebuilding the Philadelphia Athletics next spring. The official batting averages of the younger of the major leagues show that the first baseman made off with the 1933 title with an average of .356.

The figure was the lowest since Ty Cobb of Detroit, won with .308, 25 years ago, but it was plenty good enough to shade the next man, Heinie Manush, of Washington, by an even 20 points. Crashed Out 48 Circuit Wallops Foxx again won the home run title, with 48 roundtrip blows, and for the second straight year, amassed more than 400 in total bases. He had 403, 35 less than in 1932. He hit three home runs in successive times at bat on June 8, and the day before, made one on his last time at bat, four in a row. On two occasions he hammered out four extra base hits in one game, to tie the league record, and set a new mark by driving in nine runs in one game against Cleveland on Aug.

14. Five times he clubbed in five runs in a game and on another day sent in seven. Hit Safely In 33 Games Manush hit safely in 33 straight games and had the prize collection of hits, 221, Lou Gehrig, the Yankee first baseman, increased his strtng of playing days to 1,350, and led the scorers with 138 runs.

In a most spectacular game the Bears conquered the mighty New York Giants, 23 to 21, in the title playoff tilt at Wrigley Field yesterday to retain the championship they won a year ago. The game was a brilliant display of offensive power and the 30,000 spectators hardly knew from one minute to the next who in the lead.

The lead changed six times and the Bears had to produce one of their famous last period rallies to snatch victory out of the air. With less than three minutes to play, the Bears trailing 21 to 16, opened up with a dazzling shower of forward passing to score. the winning touchdown. The play saw Bronko Nagurski, once a terror as a fullback for Minnesota, shoot a pass to Bill Hewitt, one-time. Michigan end.

Hewitt, after spearing the pass and running 10 yards down the field, hurled the ball laterally to Bill The Giant defense was napping as it closed in on Hewitt.

In the second, he kicked one from about 40 yards out to make it 6 to 0, and split the uprights with another in the third to put his team back in the lead.

He finished up by kicking for the extra point after the final touchdovn. Harry Newman, Michigan's All-American quarterback in 1932, to heights in the game and his passes alone almost de- feated the Bears. Late in 'the second period he used just three tosses to cover 62 yards for a touchdown After Manders' third field goal had put the Bears ahead again, Newman once more threw his. mates with, unerring' accuracy, seven consecutive completed passes putting the'ball oh the one-yard line from where Max Krause-rammed it Nagurski fired a pass to Karr to give the Bears again late in the third period, but the! margin didn't last The first' play of the final period was a Giant touchdown.

2 in the men's. GOLF NOT ALEX.J. MORRISON Central ---rr OF BOTH FEET TURNED ALEX MORRISON says: "Keep the toes turned outward" is such a simple suggestion that few players appreciate its importance. The angle at which your feet are placed has an influence on the amount of body turn youlll be able to make. For your right foot is placed perpendicular to the intended line of play you cannot execute the amount of backward body turn necessary to hit the ball any distance.

Placing either foot or, worse yet, both feet at right angles to the line of play makes impossible the execution of the proper foot and leg movements during the swing. Turning the toes outward tends up the ankles.
