CONNIE HACK WILL RETIRE He is Regarded, as Shrewdest Judge of Players in land. i nea f .'," GREAT BACKSTOP IS NOT WELL Secret of Mack's (ireat S access Has Been Mis Ability to Reuogrnlse Ball Player In the Rough. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21. The na tional pastime will see many changes be fore the season of 1913 rolls around, and probably the greatest of these will be the retirement from active management of the Athletics of Connie Mack, considered by the majority of experts the country over as the shrewdest Judge of ball play ers that has ever been identified with the game. Connie says that if his club wins the world's championship again this season ha will surely quit the diamond and. al low somebody else probably Harry Davis lead the team. Of course, most fans are of the opinion that if Mack's retire ment depends on any such thing that It has a cinch he will remain at least an other year in charge of the Philadelphia aggregation. Although Connie says that the chances are that he will quit the diamond, it does not mean that he will give up all Ifhi In terest In the game. Although it Isn't gen erally known, Mack is one of the biggest stockholders In the Philadelphia clubhand It would not be surprising if he bought enough additional stock to permit of his being elected president of tha club, like Charley Comtskey of the White Sox has done. There are a number of reasons why Mack wants to leave ths diamond. First and foremost Is bis poor health. He has not been a well man for the last few years, and this season he has been ail ing more than ever. He la greatly sub jected to colda, and th riding about the country, with its subsequent change of climate and Interrupted sleep has raised havoc with him. Another reason why Mack wants to d crt tha game Is Mr. MacUillluudy. It will be remembered that at the close of the world's aeries last fall Connie was married again and the couple went to Europe on their honeymoon. Tliey had the pleasure of meeting the pope, and one of Mack's friends Is credited with the statement that Connie thinks his team will cop the championship tills season be cause of the well wishes and hopes of success ho received from his holiness. No LosfSt a Voast Man. Mrs. "Mac" doesn't like tu seo her hus band away from home so much, and .she realizes it is impairing his health. Ho is no longer a young man. being 40 years old now. He h4 been grooming Davts lately In the duti of manager, and in stead of this forrfter star going to the Cleveland to muo&ge them it Is likely that he will sit on the bench und direct the Athletic next seajon. Mack before assuming the managerial job In Philadelphia was one of the great eat catchers In the huslners. and he .ias a son, Earl by his first wife, now !eud who promises to develop Into every bit gs good a backstop aa th o!J man. Mack caught for th Pirates from 1SW to IS, and was tho captain cf the club fcr two years. Th Athletics were a mem ber of the American league for the(firt time in UK1, but It was not until the next year they won the pennant. They cap tured another flag under Mack'a direction In 1905. hut the Uiants beat them In tha world's series. Last year they won an other championship and the world's title for the first time. Mack Is anxious to capture one more and then ha will con sider that ha has captured hi share of baas ball laurels and retire. Connie proper name is Cornelius Mac Gillicuddy, but when he first broke into tn big leagues the writers started call ing him Connie Mack for ahort, and It has stuck to hlra so that" the average tun tbtnke that It is his right name.

He neldom has sought to' cornet stars, but has' been content t? secure unheard-of players for small prices, or gen erally no purchase pricu at alt. and teach them all of the fine points of, the game.

GIRL AS TELEGRAPH MANAGE W'onsan She Saw on Bnslness Thought She Wanted Nurse maid Job. ...

Under her dlcertlon two husky male telegraphers and a corps ot boys perform the telegraphic service for the Montclalr district, which has a population of Home 3C.OO0. There was the other day a matter business that required a personal call by Misa ElniKt'en upon a wealthy woman living In Park street. Arrived at the man sion. Miss Elmgren rang "the bell and the dour was opened, by th mistress of the house. - "You won't do at all; you positively will not do," was tho greeting that ths telegraph manager received before she could explain, her mission. Miss Elmgien endeavored to interpose a word. ".No." said the woman, even more em phatically than at first, "you will not seivu the purpoue; you arc too young and too small." Miss Klin troii looked bewildered." "I am sorry," she said, "that I do not meet the requirements of whatever you Have In mind, but I am sure that It does not con cern me. I am the manager of the West ern Union Telegraph company and I came to commit you concerning the com pany's business." Tile woman gasped and started.

Then they both laughed and th woman invited Miss Klmgren into the house, where the matter ut issue waa ulsuus.d and brought to a satisfactory conclusion. And so It goes. Misa lAmgren, who lg not 20 years old, bus similar experiences almost every week, blio is probably the younxest manager of an important tele graph office In the Unitod States, and, furthermore, she was somewhat younger whtii she took the Job, for she has been looking after tho company's Interest In Montclalr for the lost four years.
