There is strength in the club. One can see it even if it isn't asserted. Just as present one can see real stuff in Catcher Cy Perkins. Third Base man Joe Duggan. and Second Baseman Jimmy Dykes. There's no doubt about these men. That is enough of a un- cleus for a good team.
 Young But Strong HurIers.
 The pitching staff, even in it's youth. is perhaps the equal of anything in the league Possibly it needs another is the only veteran hurler. He's about the average.
 Two young men. who didn't know much about league slabbing a year ago. are about to break to the front. l refer to Eddie Rommel and Rolli Naylor. Another. though less experi- enced, looks like a coming star. He is Bryan Harris. a S foot youth, with world of stuff.
 Bob Hasty, a stalwart young man who resembles Walter Johnson and heayes a ball after the style Of Grover Alexander, is a splendid prospect. RommeI knuekIs Ball HurIer.
 Roy Moore, who. came up last year from Texas, is sturdy left handler, and Lyle Bigbee showed promise last year. Of all Of these Rommel stands out as a wonderful prospect because of a knuckle ball that shadows any thing ever shown in big league circles. The only trouble is in learning how to catch it. Cy Perkins describes it as the greatest ever, and something that no batter could hit except by ac- cident.
 [ Rommel had it last year. and doesn't remember of any one hitting it solidly He struck out Babe Ruth with t, as well as a lot of other stars.
 Mack's outfield is fairly strong with Clarence Walker in left. Frank Welch in right and Frank Walker in cent CT. All three have great driving power Paul Johnson. 2 husky recruit; Whitey | Witt, the veteran Outfelder and in- fielder. and youngster named Myatt from Texas are likely prospects for outhelder service.
 lnfieId Maek's Problem.
 The infield seems to be the problem. Dugan is assured of playing third and Mack says he's the best in the league now that Buck Weaver is gone. Dykes is as snappy a second bsseman as has come up in recent years. but the short stop and first base positions are still | in doubt.
 Clarence Galloway is slated for trial at short. He performed last year with | indifferent success. He's just a kid and developing. Ivy Griffin is booked for first base, but last season didn't show up as a hitter Mack thinks he will still come. If he doesn't there is a swatter with less fielding ability present in Frank BraziH.
 Above all, one n1usnt forget that these two wise old players, Harry Da wis and Danny Murphy. will be on the coaching lines, as well as constant ad- visers or teachers of the youngsters.

predictions in the early spring he ientured, but 1 actually feel that at last we are almost on the verge of making a ball club. 1 still may need players for a couple of positions. That 1 will not know until 1 see the team under fire.
 This is the first time since 1914 I have come south for spring work with practically the same team l had on the field at the finish the previous year. Of course this team did not get anywhere last year, but I feel certain that I at last have some real big league ball players, or men who will be big leaguers when they finish their devel- opment.
 The boys are alI with one or two exceptions, very young. But I think they. are made of the right stuff and will prove it. Perhaps 1 wouldn't feel so optimistic were it not for the pres ent condition of the American league. I can't help but feel encouraged when l look over the teams we will be up against this year.
 On payer it looks as though Cleve- land and New York will fight it out for the pennant. But one can't even feel sure of that. Cleveland seems to me to be a team on the decline. New York has lot of temperamental stars
 
 had team far above either, is all shot to pieces. The Browns have been hurt by the loss of strong second base man, and the rest of the clubs are more or less of a guess.
 You know in the last six years there hasn't been one strong team de- veloped. I mean by that not one that was built up from young material. We have been plugging along. trying out hosts of youngsters. Now 1 feel that we are just about ready to present q real team. Maybe it will take couple of years yet to get it up anywhere in the race, but when it does get there il will be a team that should go along for number of years.
 Mack Keeps Hopes Secret.
 Mack confided these things to me ir the seclusion of d hotel room. One can't hardly suppose he wants to keer it a secret from his players, but after watching them at work on the field under the personal direction of MT Mack one feels inclined to think the players don't know what is in the heart of their boss.
 At least there was no display of spir- it and enthusiasm among the players on the field. They went through their morning and afternoon rehearsali 1 much a1ter the faShlon ot children IT the classroom. They do their work i splendidly. The morale of the club ii l high. They have faith in Connie Mack They are prompt on the field, labor | quietly hut industriously, observe the rules of training, and seem as orderly as college squad with a faculty mar 1 present.
 i A Little "Pep" Needed. 1 If some one in the squad would jus l let out yell or two during the daily drill, or if couple of players would get into red hot squabble over some thing on the ball field, an observer would feel more of the optimism SC. 1 cretly shown by Mack.
 It is hardly possible that if the play. CTS themselves haven't that feeling they can accomplish anything TheN have been in the rut too long. Perhap. l if they were put into Cleveland oi White Sox uniforms they might ge that confident feeling and sally forti and lay low . lot of clubs.

ATHLETICS EXPECT TO KEEP
 OUT OF LAST PLACE

 By James Crusinberry.

Lake Charles, La, Mar. 6---As one has been accustomed for the last six years to speak of the Philadelphia s Athletics either in terms of pity or ri dicule, it is/surprising, if not startling, to come into Connie Mack's training camp and lind spirit of optimism has infected the place.
 It is not that Connie or that any Of his athletes from the strongest to the lewhest, are entertaining hopes of knocking everything in the American league flat and coping a pennant. It simply is that every one expects to get out of last place, which is more than any one could have counted on since the old days when Mack had his big champions and many pennants.
 Connie himself, who is not given to boasting. perhaps is more optimistic than any of his boys. It's a bit early at this writing and scarcely one of the players seems to have awakened to the fact that at last they might be Table to beat some one out in the flag race. But Mir Mack, always consider ed of the wise men of baseball, realiz- es it and couldn't help but talk with spark of enthusiasm even in his cus- tomary guarded way.
 You know. I don't like to make any

KEEPING CAPITAL At HOME

A great deal of money is saved dur.
ing any ordinarily prosperous year in
a city like Delta. but the greater part
of it goes to build up other communi.
ties. Investments at distance look
a lot better than those near at hand
If you lived nearer the places where
you send your money. you would prob
ably find there were hazards attached
to your securities that you know moth
ing about now.
The towns that have gone ahead
have had a large number of people
who had faith in their home town
enterprises. and would rather put
money into local institutions and
home business projects where they
know the people and can watch the
progress of such propositions.
To realize citys possibilities. 4
considerable amount of capital must
be invested annually to help hopeful
business propositions to acquire their
natural growth. II the home folks
won't support their own banks and
factories and the farms of their out
lying country and help them develop.
th"re is not much hope that outsiders
will do so.
