HILADELPHIA, December 22 —A “bull” on base ball— and life—Cornelius McGil- licuddy will celebrate his 70th birthday anniversary to- morrow by preparing for his fifty- SPORTS- from it. We've had these slumps be- fore, and now I feel the worst is over. The fans will come back to the parks next year and see new faces, young faces and better races. I look for a pick-up in 1933 just as the game always picked up in the past after bad times.” 'OR youngsters, the veteran skipper thinks the future of base ball is better than ever and he looks upon the increasing number of coll in the professional ranks as an excellent influence on the game. “Players who used to go from the ball park to the saloon,” he said, “saw the youngster from the campus playing hard and refraining from dissipation, and they decided they would better follow his ezample. The players reached a higher plane from that time on. “Now, due to better educational fa- cilities, even those players coming from the sandlots are of a high type, and I think the lots are turning out bette; players than they did before.” TO association with younger men Mack gives the eredit for his vigor | and his far-from-old feeling.
