VIENNA. April '26.-—Partlcipatlon

next summer is doubtful owing to
the alleged exclusion of Austrians
from the recent Riviera. tennis tour-
nament. At a. stormy meeting of the
Olympic committee today the ten-

the president of the international
Olympic committee for intervention
with regard to the tennis tournament
had remained unanswered for three
weeks. From this they said they in-
ferred that the president Was .un-

It was suggested at the meeting
that. Austria abstain from participa-

finally was resolved to send a. second

When Earl Mack. sprightly son
of Connie, joined the Athletic squad
down south this spring the news
was broadcasted that‘he was slated
to succeed the human Eifcl Tower
as leader of the Mackmen. Connie
was preparing to turn over the reins
to him. it was reported. . ,
\Vhilc looking over the Athletics
at Montgomery I happened to men-
tion the general belief to Mack.
"Please tell the world in general
that I am going to step down some
day as manager of the Athletics.
But I' plan on being manager for
about 10 years yet."
Vl‘hich seems to put. the quletus
on the report.
The facts are that Mack talked
his son into joining his staff of
aides as coach. realizing the young-
er man‘s ability to pick coming ball
players and turn them into good
ones. When Earl joined the team
late last February there were three
living proofs of what he can do,
awaiting to greet him. They were
Cy Perkins, Fred lielmach. and
Jimmy Dykes. .And Earl brought
a couple more with him.
Earl specializes‘on'hurlers. how-
ever. His dad gives him full credit
for making llelmach "a. star—and
Connie believes he is one. Heimach
was tried out by the Athletics 3.
year ago and rcpurchased from Mo-
lino at the close of last season.
Connie believes he is ready to serve
as a regular this year.
Earl discovered Perkins while
playing first base for the Raleigh
N. C.. team back in 1923. Perkins
was catching for the outfit.
Earl broke into baseball as a
member of a high school team in
Philadelphia. He played with a
semi-pro outfit .for a. time after
that and then joined his dad's team.
That was during the halcoyn days
between 1911 and 1914 and he did
bull pen duty. mostly. breaking in”
only a few games. ‘
Earl played three years with
Raleigh and then with Asheville,
Charlotte and Harrisburg before
the war interrupted baseball activ-
ities. _
Then the Moline club signed him
as manager and he gave that town
some? real baseball for three sea-
sons, moving over to Martinsburg
last season to wig a flag for them.
When he packed up his belong-
ings rejoin Connie he put ‘four

chief aide to Connie. He is popular
with the team members. Physical—
ly he is a smaller edition of his
dad—slim but much shorter.
His presence on the team is being
felt already. Slim Harris lieems
to be a. better pitcher. Young
Mack has taught Harris to work
easier and lose his self conscious~
floss. Earl has labored patiently
with Harris in air: effort to improve
his fielding. too. -

TE MR. STRYKER GETS STARTED 1,
THE BOSTONBRAVES’EL CLIMB
(By NORMAN E. BROWN)"
The Boston Braves already have
shown a punch they sadly lacked
last season. This start bodes Well to
Davey Bancroft and his initial cf-
forls as a manager.
And if Sterling Strykcr, big right.
handed pitcher, and one of the new
members of the mound squad, comes
through in the chape Bancroft ex-
pects the Brzucs will produce some
more surprises mayhap.
Eastern league fans will tell you
he's a. bear—in the minors at least.
He rain up 20 victories and lost but
11 games for Worcester in the cast-
crn group last season. The year be-
fore- at he find been one of the
main ys of the New Haven team
on its climb to the league pennant.
He won 19 ball games that year and
got nicked just 10 times.
And What :Otisl'action he‘ll get if
he can turn back the Giants a. couple
of times when the peanut race gets

work with the Hub team as he toil-

Stryker rather impressed me
when I saw him. in action during the
training season. Has the husky buildI
the easy pitching style and the calm—
ness that go to make for successtul
and enduring pitching. One this is
sure. He must deliver this year or
figure himself out of it as he is get-
ing toward the turning post in age.
Bancroft won't worry much about
the future however, if Stryker can
turn in a godly run of victories this
year While the Braves are r going
through the remolding process.
