YOUNG PLAYER IS SIGNED BY MACK Jack Doyle, who scouted for the White Sox last year, tells a good story how Connie Mack got Davies, now one of the Athletics’ young outfielders. “I got a tip about Davies last year,’’ says Doyle, “and I watched him in several games up in New England. Then I followed him to his home in New Hampshire and decided to sign him for Comiskey. “As Davies was under age, I had to call in his relatives to witness and approve the contract. His father, mother, sisters, brothers, cousins and aunts were all there when I fished out the document. Then, to my astonishment, I learned that Connie Mack had signed Davies when he was seven years old, and that the boy was only seventeen. Connie gets them when they are infants.”
