OUR By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Baseball commissioner Ford Frick called the. death of Connie Mack Wednesday a "terrific shock tc baseball and a great personal shock." Informed of Mack's death, Frick said, "this is a great loss to the game. Mr.

Mack was practically Mr. Baseball himself. He always will be remembered for the gentleness, kindliness, leadership and continuity he gave to our great national game." Walter O'Malley, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers said: "We mourn the loss of Connie Mack, truly the dean of BasebaU'i Hall of Fame." Warren Giles, president of the National League, expressed deep sorrow Wednesday. "He made a wonderful contribution to baseball for many, many years," Giles said. The game is better for him having been such a big part of it.

"His son. Earl, was my first manager in 1920 and Connie helped us with players. He was very generous with help in getting me started." In Detroit, Walter O. (Spike) Briggs president of the Tigers said: "I am deeply grieved to learn of Mr. Mack's passing.

This loss is a personal ore to me. He was a great guiding influence to baseball men everywhere and loved by fans and those connected with the game." Parke Carroll, vice president and business manager of the Kansas Athletics "His death is a great loss to baseball. We have lost a man who devoted his life to baseball and helped make it what it is. And, of course, we feel it more keenly than any of the other clubs because Mr. Mack was an honorary chairman of our board of directors." In Chicago, Will Harridge, presl THIS IS He recently left the hospital where he was taken Oct.

1 after suffering a broken hip in a fall from his bed. Mack served 50 years as manager of the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League, a term unequalled in the history of the game. He led the Athletics to nine league titles and five world cham pionships before retiring in 1950. Chief Rooter' Following his retirement, Mack was the team's good will ambassador and chief rooter until it was sold by his sons, Earle and Roy, to a syndicate headed by Arnold Johnson of Chicago. The team was sold and transfer red to Kansas City despite an impassioned plea the feeble and sick Mack at a special American League meeting save the franchise for Philadelphia.

Earle and Roy acquired controlling interest in the Athletics shortly before their father retired as an active manager but sold out when they were unable to produce a winner either on the field or at the box office. Mack, who was born in East Brookfield, Dec. 23, 1862, spent 62 years in baseball as player and manager. He developed some the game's greatest stars, men like Albert (Chief) Bender, Eddie Collins, Frank (Home Run) Baker, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons, Bob (Lefty) Grove, Mickey Cochrane, Eddie Plank and Jack Coombs. Seven members of his last cham pionship team now are in the base Hall of Fame.

Connie himself entered the hall before any of his stars. He was among seven pioneers of the game elected as the nucleus when baseball's historic center at Cooperstown, JJ.Y., was founded in 1937. Following his retirement, Mack became an ambassador of good will for the Athletics and baseball. He went to spring training, at tended home games and some road carries of the A's, but took no active hand in the operation of the club either on the field or in the front office. Each day, accom panied by his faithful chauffeur and friend, Chuck Roberts, the old man would make the trip from his fashionable Germantown apart ment to his tower office at Connie Mack Stadium.

He'd read his mail and try and answer some of it. Fewer Trips the years rolled by, his trips to the ball park and his office became fewer. His public appear ances became the exception rather than the rule. His seat in a box behind the. A's dugout was empty more often than not.

It was ob vious to his many friends and admirers that this living symbol of baseball was beginning to feel the rigors of old age. His friends, the sports writers and radio and television broadcasters, shied away from interviews. Mr. Baseball still knew what was going on about him dui nis power oi expression wan wnat it usea to oe. The Mack sons, Roy and Earle were in full control of the ball club, having bought out their step brother, Connie and other stock interests.

Roy and Earle became executive vice presidents with their dad still holding' the title of president. That's about all it was though, a title for the old man. Earle and Roy ran the show. Then the boys got to squabbling. They blamed each other for the failure of the team to prosper either on the field or at the box office.

And less than four years after they gained control, Roy and Earle sold the remnant of the baseball empire it took their father some 50 years to construct. Mack sat sadly on the sidelines as events unfolded for the front pages of newspapers from coast to coast. Earle gave Roy an option to buy out Mack and himself. Roy spent days searching for an angel to back him in purchasing control of the team. But he failed.

Finally, the American League stepped in and ordered the Macks to put their house in order. One of four meetings on the situation was held in Chicago where the league approved a sale of the Mack stock to Arnold Johnson, Chicago businessman who wanted to take the team to Kansas City. The league also approved the transfer of the franchise. FARMERS TRUCKERS CONSTRUCTION CO'S. A Warehouse Full of Fine Quality Tarpa in 48 Different Sizes.

Olympic Officials Wait Until By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW (A U.S. Olympic officials, blaming failures at Cortina on lack of training and outmoded equipment, issued a warning to Russia Wednesday that the worm will turn in the Summer Games at Melbourne. "I predict this will spurt the greatest awakening of sports interest America has ever known," said Kenneth (Tug) Wilson of Chicago, president of the U. S. Olympic Committee.

"In winter sports as well as in summer sports." "If Russia thinks it's going to repeat its Winter Games mastery at Melbourne I'm afraid theyre in for a very disappointing fortnight," added Dan Ferris, secre tary treasurer ef the Amateur Athletic Union. Top Olympic brass was in the planeload of 40 Olympians who ar rived at Idlewild airport shortly after noon from the Winter Games which ended at Cortina D'Am BOG STOKY THE TIRE SPECIALISTS We don't sell television, lawn mowers or nails.

The group immediately was con fronted with the statement by Nikolai Romanov, the Soviet sports minister, who said Russian performances at Cortina were not unexpected and added: "And we're going to be away out in front in the Summer Games at Melbourne." Ferris bristled at this brash boast.

"We are not a winter sports na tion," he said. "Our seasons aren't as long as in the Scandinavian countries and in Russia and our interest in these sports aren't as great.
