The Widener horse was officially

By NORMAN E; BRO\\'N
The last member of Connie Mack‘s
famous old \Vhite Elephants to
leave the Athletic fold. has just
stepped out of the big show. He
leaves behind him in the majors
but two members of the wonderful
old machine.
The gent mentioned is Amos
Strunk. in his day one of the fast.-
est and surest. outfieldors in the
biz.
Strunk drew his unconditional
release from the “‘hite Sox the
other day after serving with the
team a. little more than..tliree sea-
sons. Amos, as a. veteran of 10
years service in the majors. was
left free to sign with any team he
cares to.
Looked Over in 1908
Strunk became a member of Con-
nie's old pennant winning outfit
about the time Eddie Collins and
Stuffy first indicated to the base-
ball world they were going to get
some place on the highroad to
fame. Collins joined the Mackmen
in 1906. It was not until 1908.
however. that Strunk first donned
a Philadelphia uniform. After get-
ting the o. 0. he was sent to Mil-
waukee for a. year and returned in
1910 to stay and 'star. McInnis had
joined the team in 1909 and was
already in ing his presence felt
when Strun reported for keeps.
While. Strunk was not. a consist-
ent .300 hitter (hanging up such an
average but five times) he was a
dangerous and a timely swatter. In
1912 he gave some indication" of his
base running ability by swiping 29

and two other seasons collected 20
bascs. lie. reuis‘.crcd in 1914
or better.
Connie had parted with every
other member of his old team in
the winter of 1917 when he and
the Red Sox cooked up a. deal
whereby Amos, Joe Bush and \Val-
ly Schang went to Beantown for
$60,000, \‘can Gregg, Larry KIpf
and Chet Thomas. The trade now
is rr‘cordcd as one of the early
ones designed to make the New
York Yankees 3. pennant winning
team, it being engineered by the
Red Sox. at that time merelyfi.

club.
Returns to Old Home
Strunk still hankered after the
Philadelphia atmosphere, however.

left by the banishment of the

Amos should have a. little nest

five. world’s series—four with Mack
and one with the Red Sox in 1918.
He did not. h wever, draw the
mammoth salari s the stars of lat-

great machine called for but a
modest payroll. compared to the
ones made out semi-monthly by the
club treasurers these days.
