keeping their mind on something
that was only to drink. The man
who lets the presidents of the

Personally, l never think of

SATISFIED WITH
MACKS AFTER
EIGHT YEARS
Connie Tries Out Five Hundred
BaIIpIayers in Making
New Team.
PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, April 3d.
after eight years experimentation,
during which time have tried out
close to 500 ball players, have as
sembled team which comes mighty
close to satisfying me-"
That was the comment, today of
Connie Mack, whose 1923 Athletics
are among the surprises of the base
ball year.
I'm not predicting pennant
heights for my new club-not yet"
he added. But I'll go on record
as saying that hereafter the Ath-
letics aren't going to be easy pick
ings for every club in the circuit.
The team is young. It's ma
chine work has not reached the
standard which ] hope for it. But
give it a little more time, a little
more experience and then we'll be-
gin to dream some dreams of new
world series combats within the con-
fines of Philadelphia.

Too Much Yankees.

WE have been kidding along
" with the Athletics on our
W home grounds and now we
have the New York Yankees
again for four in a row. 1t be-
gins to look like they are New
Yorking us to death. Those
sucker teams are liable to make
US too cocky and the chances are
l will be the only Washington
player again to appear in the
world series.
This is a great responsibility,
and if 1 should get sick it would
go tough with McGraw, who de-
rends on me to tell his club what
balls to pitch to the Yankees.
But, as | tell our manager,
DOME Bush, it amt too late yet
to mend, and even if the season
is about over and we have only
little more than 14O games to
play, we still have a chance to
give somebody a battle. But
Bush tells me to be quiet and he
will do the talking.

1ney Will Degln rAe1r first tour
of that region on May and be-
fore their return win have played
upward OF sixteen ball games with
the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White
Sox. st. Louis Browns and Cleve-
land Indians, generally rated in the
order named, as the principal con-
tenders for the pennant. Many
things can happen to a ball club
meeting such opposition in day-to-
day competition over stretch of
several weeks.
The Yanks, for example, might
depart on the trip in possession
of first place, but in order to
hold it they would have to knock
off the Western clubs in order.
No 'breathers" on that trip, no
soft spot where Indifferent pitching
will get by. A slip anywhere along
the route would cost the Yanks the
lead, since the other Eastern clubs,
also on tour, do not figure to give
much trouble to the teams that do
not happen to be playing against
the Yanks at the moment in ques-
ton. In other words, If the Yanks
are losing series to the Tigers,
the Indians. Browns and White
.Sox will probably be fattening at
the expense Philadelphia, Wash
ington and Boston.
The Athletics may or may not
prove the exception to this state
ment. They are a smoother, more
dangerous team than Connie Mack
has mustered during recent years
but they have yet to prove that
they are a good road club.
They seem TO Lack the consist
ency I'm pitching that usually car
ries an outfit over the rough spots
away from home.
Things equal to the same thing
are equal to each other, however.
and if the West can manhandle the
remaining Eastern clubs the Yanks
can be reckoned to do no less.
They lost thirteen out of twenty
one ball games to the Red Sox
last year, but will hardly repeat
this asinine performance in 1923.
They may also count upon winning
the majority of games from the
Senators, but the Athletics are an
other matter
During recent years the Yankees
have beaten the Mack entry at least
so per cent of the time, but it is
highly improbable thai they will
enjoy similar degree of success
this season.
