McGillicuddy Leads Athletics Pennant Chasers
Jenetiue McGillicuddy, leader of athletics, holds the record in baseball championships. Mornelus McGillicuddy, Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, has won six American League pennants and three world championships. He defeated Melvin and Frank Chance for titles, lost to McGraw and Stallings in 1914, and presided over a team finishing eighth in three straight seasons. Mack sold key players last winter and is seen as unlikely to contend in 1918. He was a catcher in his playing days.
