MACX's GOOD HITTING TEAM
Philadelphia Speaks Enthusiastically
Of Athletics chances-No Stacker
In Bunch.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

james w. Gantz, Philadelphia
writer, speaks enthusiastically of Con-
ME Mack's chances for good hitting
team. Here Is what he has to say:
"From the way that the Athletics have
been handling their bats and recalling
their reputation rs minor league slug
gers. there Is every reason to believe
that Connie will put ON the field this
year n team which In hitting strength
will be the equal of any that he has
ever had. Every man who Is counted
upon for II regular position In the In
field or the outtield knows how to
handle his bat. There isn't one of
them who, to use the language of the
players, puts his foot In the water
bucket. There isn't Il batting Stacker
In the bunch. Every man faces the
pitcher fearlessly and steps into the
ball instead of pulling away from 1t.
Connie had the minor leagues cOmbed
for hitting talent last year, ana he APP
pears to have landed what he sought

YOUNGSTERS IN FRONT
Five Clubs Playing Brand.NeW
Shortstops Regularly.
Imposing Array Of Pitchers Scattered
Among Different Teams In Major
Leagues-cuisto Making Good
at Cleveland.

There are few clubs right now in
the two major leagues that are not
flashing some youngstcr his first year
out, in some position as regular. The
Old.timers, seemingly, are taking the
count collectively. There are no less
than five clubs who have brand.new
shortstops performing regularly, and
there is horde of new regulars I'm the
other positions.
The Reds have three new ones, all
regulars. Cueto. an outfielder. and
Shean and Kopf are debutantes In the
charmed circle of major leaguedom
and they're getting away with II.
Shean Is veteran as n ball player,
but he has taken veterans place now
in the majors. Kopf has seen major
league duty. hut never as regular
until he became shortstop for the
Reds. Cueto Is n youthful Cuban. who
knows how to bang the ball and play
the outfield.
Risberg is the new White Sox short
stop. Fabrique has taken over the same
burden for the Dodgers. Chick Ward Is
in the same fix with the Pirates. and
Workman proved sensation In the
shortfield for the Cubs until he was In
jured. The Phillies and Braves have
| placed newcomers on the bench to
wait developments. Both are short
stops. McGafligan Is with the Phillies
| and Rawlings with the Braves.
There Is an imposing array Of new
| pitchers. Nearly every club has Its
new sensation. Joe Oeschger Is try
ing his new spurs on for the first time
for the Phillies. Urgan Shocker Is
drawing all his pay from the Yankees
this year. Galore Is n Dodger regular,
Connie Mack has a whole fistful of
them. Howard Ehmke Is Detroit
regular. Christy Mathewson Is show
Ing n bevy of them how he used to fool
the boys.
