Connie Mack Is Banking On.
Philadelphia. Jan. S.-Who will take
Lave Cross place at third base?
This question has been asked by
many followers of the game, since the
release of Lave to the Washington
club was announced.
Those who have seen Brouthers, the
third baseman secured from Birming
ham. play, feel sure that he is the man
upon whom Mack is depending. To
make such an important decision in
favor of man who has never been IN
fast company looks like risky bust
ness. It is not the first time. though,
that Mack has done it. When Hof-
club he was ii pitcher, with but little
experience as an outfelder. That win
ter Connie said that he did not intend
using Hoffman as a pitcher, but that
he would most likely be used in the
Outf1eld in place of Pickering Mack
made no mistake on Hoffman.
It was with the same confidence that
Mack spoke about Bender and Henley
when they We're first scured. He said
at that time: Bender will be one of
our regular pitchers, and feel sure
from what have heard about Henley
that he will make good
There are also a number of other
second basemen on Mack's list OF
youngsters, and if any of them show
better form than Murphy the latter
will probably warm the bench. Muir
ply did not play his game last year,
either at the bat or in the field, and,
although Mack has not discussed the
chances of a change at second, he
would not hesitate in making it should
a stronger man than Murphy be found.
Sentiment cuts no ice with Connie.
