PARTICULARLY SWEET ON SYLVANIA GREGG

Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics and a championship specialist, declares he would part with a Marquard or OToole and a big sum of money for a certain player If It were possible to land that individual a member of the Cleveland team. The head of the Athletic school has a warm spot in his heart for Sylvania Gregg, the Naps’ star offside pitcher. Connie is of the opinion that with Gregg on his pitching staff American league pennants and world

championship would come to Philadelphia as often, as the fall rolls around. A pitcher of Gregg’s ability could work wonders pitching for Connie’s crew this season. The pitching problem Is worrying Mack not a little and that’s why he passed the remark that the Shibes would part with much currency if it were only possible to make Charley Somers see such a deal. The Naps need Gregg as much as they do Lajoie and Jackson.

Vean Gregg, Cleveland’s Star Southpaw.
