unusually heavy this morning and
practically every letter dealt with the
transfer station question, and SO far
as the writer's of the letters were con-

transfer station should be maintained.
Some suggested. however, that it
might be placed at Sixth street and
Kansas avenue.
Il requested that the people speak
out and let themselves be heard on
the question: said the mayor, land

Saws lanes c. Isaminger !:

Connie Mack, the sage of Lchigh

boldly and says that the Athietics
have the team this year OUT OF WHICH

II am going TO make a strong hght

things to upset predictions. Accidents

affect u championship brush.
Didn't Make Good.
For instance, in 1912 the pennant was
conceded us by every manager IN the
league, and the last day OF the race
found us in third place.
I'VE lost last year because OF the &C
cidents to Danny Murphy and Barry,
the slump in our outfeld and the De
lection of two pitchers. we can l
guard against accidents in the future
but 1 have mended both our pitching

Mack gives the first official indication
of how he is going to dress his gardeh

For the first time in many years
he said. 81 have an outfield in which /
can place confidence. l have good
material and plenty of material.
Il will start the season with Oldring'
Strunk and Eddie Murphy filing the
three posts. This gives me Dan Mur-
phy. Walsh and Daley in reserve.
Strunk went so good last year that ne
cannot be displaced. and yet Oldrine
is such a competent man that l can't
keep him on the bench. Oldring mas
been taking good care of himself and
will play swift ball this year. Eddle
Murphy is first choice for right neio
because he is going to top my batting
order, and room must be made for Nun.
This gives me the elder Murphy
Walsh and Daley in reserve. The
chances are that 1 will keep all six
While 1 don't expect to
use Dan Murphy in the field, l am
going to keep him as pinch hitter Dan
can still, hit. even if his knee is weak
Walsh and Daley will then be available
for reserve duty
Always Liked Daley.
"I like Daley I FIRST saw him play
four wears ago when / was out on the
coast. ] liked his actions, but he was
TOO immature then for, a trial in the fast
set"
The tall tutor says his pitchers will
come back, and that Bender, Coofhos
and Plank will be three great winners

1t is significant that in the face OF
their defeat last season, nearly every

The players were also overconfdent.
They took things too easy in the early

Therefore, they can be expected to play
