Some members of the board as we'll

The board wants site which ia

reason why a location which insures

ATHLETICS HERE
WITH SENATORS
IN FINAL SERIES
Connie Mack Will Introduce
New Talent Today to
Philadelphia Fandom
GAME BEGINS AT 8 P. M.
BY CHANDLER ID. RICHTER

Local fans will have their first chance
to see Connie Mack's reconstructed Ath-
letics this afternoon. when Washington VIII
open the final series of the home season
against the Mackmen. Since the Athletics
left this city many new players have Joined
the team and several more who did not ap-
pear In the line-up in the West Will be
tried out In the series against washington.
The work OF the Athletics on the long
trip was a great surprise TO the fans of
the five cities visited Critics who a month
ago considered the Mackmen the greatest
joke team In the game were lavish In their
praise OF the new team. Very few Of the
games were lost by big scores and on the
entire trip the Mackmen outbatted their
opponents.
Among the new players Mack is partic-
ularly anxious to look over Is Frank
Thrasher, the Atlanta recruit, who was the
leading hitter Of the Southern Associa-
tion and who is touted as the best all
round player turned out by the South since
Tyrus Cobb. Joe Jackson and Iris Speaker
entered the major league ranks.
Thrasher will be i'm the lineup today,
as Will Grover, the Western League recruit
who played such splendid ball on the West
ern trip. Many recruit pitchers also will
be looked over carefully, though It would
be impossible to give them all a chance
against the Senators.
& Manager Mack has a collegian who has
been pitching at Hallowell, Me, this sum-
mer. who Is almost certain to be sent
against the Senators. Just what the young
ster's name is has not been divulged. as IL
Is said that he desires to return to college II
Mack decides that he Is not ripe for major
league duty. Those who have seen this
youngster work out at Shibe Park In the
absence of the team declare that he is the
best looking prospect Mack has uncovered
in years, not excepting Elmer Myers.
Another youngster the fans are anxious
TO see is Harry Sebold, the local boy who
blanked the Browns with three hits in his
first major league start.
1t is hard to tell who Mack will send tc
the mound today. but II probably will be
one of the recruits. while II also is possible
the Poindexter will play first base IL HI
reports to Mack today as scheduled. This
youngster played sensational minor leagu,
ball and is tipped off as a star. II h'
proves a capable first baseman Macki
