Interviewed at the ball park on Wednesday afternoon Charley Frank did not deny a report that Connie Mack might sell his interests in the Philadelphia Athletics and relocate to Atlanta to buy a stake in the Cracker club. Telegrams from Philadelphia suggested Mack was seriously considering selling White Elephants to Ira Thomas and Harry Davin.
