Flicker played 137 frames and won 64 of them. The final reading of the pedometer which was attach- erl to his leg read 24 miles, 400 yards.

THE GUARDIAN.

To Pennant

B! CHARLE WELSH PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 22—(AP) —-Connie Mack, still trim and er- ect as the starched high collars he always wears, marks his 86th birthday tomorow clinging to the same valiant ambition that has been his since 193i.

"Just one more pennant, that's all I want," the spry owner-mari- agor of the Philadelphia Athletics said today. That's the same birth- day present he's sought for l7 American League seasons.

But this year something new has been added: a cautious hint from; Connie that his dream can coma’ true before another anniversary rolls around.

Connie was too cagey to say flatly the A's will win.

But he thumbed through the record books to the page that showed a fourth-place ﬁnish last sea-son. And then he ventured to promise for 1M9:

"We should be a little better". Mack values three things on a baseball team: pitching. hitting and spew, about in the order named. For 1949, he said, the A’s should have "one of the best- rounded pitching staﬂg 1n either league."

l-le admitted he was counting heavily 0n comebacks by Phil Marchildon. of Penetanguishene Ont. and-Bill Mccahain, who had "a roush year" in 194a.

"I think thcy‘il be a loi better next year." Connie said. Willi Joe Coleman. Dick Fowler of Toronto and Lou Bris-sie also in top form the Macks would have speed, sidll and depth. ‘

Connie cited the addition of vet- erans Taft Wright and Wally Moses, both dangerous batters. es- pecially in the clutch. He said he exiled-ed them to be useful as Dinah-hitters, amd able reserves for the first-string outfield of Sam Chapman. Elmer Valo and Bar- ney MoCoskey.

‘There's more potential power in the bat of outfielder Coaker ‘Prlp- Mi. up from the International League for his third try in the majors. Connie bought conker- from Buffalo where he led the Triple A Circuit last summer with a. baiting .353 average.

The Macks appear about set on the same infield combination. That would be Ferris Fain. Pete Suder, Eddie Joost and Hank Ma- jeskie. reading from ﬁrst around to third. And the catching corps, Buddy Rosar, Mickey Guerra and rookie Earl Brucker, Jr., will be doing business at the familiar Shlbe Park Stand.

He said Cleveland's champion Indians reinforced by a. couple of trades "will he very good." Bos- ton, he added, must be reckoned with as a team with a lot 9f pow- er." And he observed "you can never count out the New York Yankees."

Connie Wouldn't even comment on when-or whether-he might be ready to retire.

Ellen's Diary I

(Continued from page 2)

our breakfast. table drawn now nearer the kitchen fire. We had a guest at dinner and supper as well, when in her parents absence grand- daughter became our care. In the interval, came the time for her napping in the house across the lane. An amusing detail, and one which shows the force of habit, is that to woo sleep at all she must have a small old blanket. which has come up from babyhcod clutch- ed tightly and often tucked be- neath s. cheek. No matter if her toes be bare, there seems to be a soothing magic in the feel of it's familiar folds that presently brings rest. "And now, what's next?" I may ask her wihen she has climbed into her cot, and her reply is "Where's my blanket?" But l don't know where it is.” I say. "Then we'll just have to find it." she will tell me in a decided tone "and oh, there it is” she will beam. Then with it arranged about her, a cor- ner held tightly in her fists she is soon at peace with her world, and asleep.

Certainly the most enjoyed part of her day has been the period af- ter supper when James took time from his evening choring to romp urltih her. 'I‘hen merrily her laugh rang out mingling happily with those of her elders. And so today. grand-daughter and l have lived in one house or the other, passing the time very pleasantly. She is into hei- night sleep now, and with Jam- es gone "lraleying" to Rob's I await her parents’ homecoming. The fire crackles; the kettle sings and out- side s window, heir favorite white cat, is on the sill. Beyond, the moon climbs the clouds above a white and silent countryside...And now car-lights play about the yard and Pard barks a welcome. Her par- ents homing.

Until tosriorrow - Diary — Good Night.
