helmsmen who welcomed the downpour
yesterday. On the other jacket Corne-
lius McGillicuddy was wOthy that the
clouds shed so many tears hereabout,
for Connie and his band had day OF
rest Wednesday and were not Mt all
keen about idling around another day.

youngsters Of the staff, and the return
to form of Rollie Nnylor on the last trip
to Boston and New York. Mack IL well
fortified with hurlers. With Harris,
Rommcl, Hasty and Moore ready to
take their turns on the hill and Sullivan
and Ilcimach about ready to jump In
whenever needed, Mack has about the
best seven man staff in the league.
Rollie Naylor will in all probability

from these parts for the better part of
the month.
Says the Bingo
Bing Miller is anxious to get up with
Ken Williams and Roger Hornsby, each
having him topped by single homer
IN the battle for round trip honors.
Three games at home. says Bng, and
I'll get up there and maybe pass the
two st. Louis pellet murderers.
Just to prove that he can hit homers
abroad as well as at home, Bingo
arched four play shots in both Boston
and New York. His hitting on the
trip had much to do with the even
break made. In Boston the AS lost
the first game and then trooped home
the winner in a double. header, some.
thing that has been done seldom In the
last eight years. After dropping the
opener In New York on Monday, when
harris blew In the seventh, the AS
came back and thanks to the hurting Of
Lefty Heimach, scored a victory in the
afternoon game on Memorial Day after
Sullivan had dropped the opener in
hurling duel with Waite Hoyt.
The Mackmen leave here Sunday
morning for New York where they play
one e-game stand with the Ruth Yam.

Detroit. After the Tigers. comes Cleve-
land. Chicago and st. Louis In the
West. and Washington in the East.
On June -. the AS return TO the
home lot with Boston as the attrac.
ton.
If the Athletics can hit the trail IN
the West as they have In the East with
the Western teams. the chances of a
first division berth this season will be
mighty good. The players think they
can do it and the fans believe in the
players.
Rain Helped Phils
Over in Brooklyn yesterday, Irv
Wilhelm counted the raindrops and
hoped that enough Of them had fallen
10 give his team n rest. The Phillies'
pitchers are not in the best of shape,
having had to pitch out Of turn for
over week us the result of three
straight double headers with the Brook
lyn Dodgers, and then the series with
the Giants, In which more than one
hurler had to be used in every game,
except the last one.
The rest will enable Wilhelm to
again start his pitchers in order. which
means n lot Jimmy Ring is due ia
take his regular turn this afternoon
