HONOR IS PAID CONNIE MACK Veteran Baseball Manager Is Honored At Sports Banquet Philadelphia. Jan. 2tJ <U.P) Connie Mack shook a half century from his shoulders last night and told the public that It would have to cut off his uniform to convince him- a 75-year-old veteran that he was too old to run a baseball team. A tall, kindly old man. his face seamed with 54 years of baseball worries but his eyes still alight with enthusiasm, he told 1200 guests at u sports writers banquet that his next address would be lathe Charles. Ist., where the Phil- j adeipbla Athletics train for the! liblS baseball season. Philadelphia sports writers i awarded medals to Carl Hubbell of j the New York Giants, as the out-, standing pitcher of 19.77; to Joel Itl.Waggio, 23-year-old slugging out-1 fielder for the New York Yankees, as the outstanding athlete; to j Mickey Cochrane as the "most | courageous athlete in sports during 1937." I, Cochrane, manager of the Detroit Tigers, suffered a near fatal, injury last summer when he was j struck on the head by a pitched bull. “There has been for years talk of my retiring from the game." Mack said. "This has been more evident this year because of my j illness and my age “They were saying ‘it’s lime the old boy got out und gave someone j else a chance.' But 1 assure you j it has always been my desire to go j on Just as long as I could in this game of baseball. “I love it. It’s not a bad game for a man of 75. “I love to he on the bench with those youngsters and to get me out they'll have to cut off my uniform.” Among the guests were mem hers of the 1910 Athletics, termed j by many the finest team in base-; ball history They included Chief Bender.
