Connie Mack Of the Athletics is the
only major league manager who has
been able to plunge into spring train
ing with no worry over his inner de-
Tense. Philadelphia's infield is as
close to perfection as anything that
has been flashed across the profess
sional baseball span. Even McGraw
is a bit uncertain as to the final array
of the champion Giants, while a cou-
pie of the Red Sox inflelders are ques-
tionable quantities.
McGraw's infield did not just suit
him last season, despite the runaway
race he made in the National league.
The team staggered through the cam

brated worlds series-the real test
a few things transpired that set the
fans to thinking, anyhow. In the
worlds series. and indeed in the final
stages OF the spring, both Merkle and
Fletcher fell down badly. Merkle
played very erratically the last six
weeks n then gummed the series
by failing to try for an easy pop foul

Phillies are so beset that they are
thinking of yanking Sherwood Magee
in to first base. The Quakers are a
bit up in the air at third, too. where
there is considerable uncertainty
about Hans Lobert regaining his old
time form. The Pirates have been
looking for a first baseman for years.
Boston has only one infield surety,
Sweeney at second, while the Card
inals have to do a lot Of strengthen
ing to figure in the hunt.
Hal Chase is the only approved in
fielder on the New York Americans,
unless Frank Chance is able to play.
In which case Chase will have to be
remade into a second sacker. Detroit
has nobody but Bush at shortstop.
Washington lacks a competent second
baseman. The White Sox have not
solved the wing problems. while Cleve-
land seems lettering generally all
along the inner line. The Browns are
~devidedly experimental save Jimmy
Austin, the very weak-hitting third
baseman.
Under these circumstances IT is
rather delightful to turn back to Con-
ME Mack's wonderful quartet. There
have been some wonderful four-ply
combinations-notably the old Orioles
and Cubs-but none surpassed in all
