McKNIGHT MEXICO CITY, April 8.—Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics are not likely to come back to Mexico City for their 1938 training season. That was the consensus as the A’s—many of them confessing home sickness for “the good old United States” — packed their bags after four weeks in this high-set capital. “Yep,” observed one husky young pitcher, “they can give this country back to the Indians as far as Xm concerned.” Life Was Too Simple ‘The plain truth seemed to be this The boys hadn't found old Mexico the place of glamor and high ro-! mance it was cracked up to be. Stiff workouts in the rarefied atmosphere of the capital's 7,300- feet altitude and adherence to training camp rules left them little inclination, time or opportunity for experience with black-eyed senor- itas behind barred windows, guitars in the moonlight and that sort of thing. A bullfight or two, sight-seeing expeditions, taxi-rides from their| far-out hotel into the city for mov-, ies, sodas or beers—such were the simple diversions of the majority. Kelley Flees Camp Meanwhile, Connie Mack and hh managerial assistants had their dif- ( ficulties with dwindling gate re-| ceipts at exhibition games, lack of expert opposition, against which the A's might whet their game, news-| paper apathy to the team's plei- ence and players’ complaints over Mexican food. One pitcher, Harry Kelley, the right-hander who was Mack’s most | effective hurler in 1936, got permis-! sion to quit the training camp here and move up to Texas to await his, mates. “I just couldn’t get in condition down there,” Kelley said { “While you're out on the mound working you perspire all right.
