Possibly some of the women who
wear these heavy hats do not feel the

McAleer Says Athletics
Have Strong Ball Team

one of the hardest teams for us to
beat will be the Athletics. Mack's
team had bad year last season, but
the way the club got together down
in Cuba shows that the stuff is there.
1t must have been a blow to those
players to see our boys in Boston
sharing the rich results of the
worlds series, and I think they will
work very hard to get back the hon
ors which we took away from them.
Connie has a great ball club in
every department. 1t is a smuggling
outfit, liable to break up a game in
any inning. This is a club that is
always to be reckoned with, and
believe the Athletics will be keyed up
to high pitch of efficiency.
