TEAMS
STACK UP AS
DARK HORSES
Two Boston Clubs and
Philadelphia Athletics
Most Improved.
NOT REMNANT WINNERS
None of Trio Seems Likely
to Cop Flag but There's
a Chance.

Three teams that have been cropping
about in second division depths for 4
number of seasons loom a s"dark
horses" in the coming major league
campaign, according to reports from
various southern training quarters.
These are the Philadelphia Athletics
and Boston Red Sox in the American
League and the Boston Braves in the
National League. All three have
strengthened line-ups and morale for
1924. Both Boston outfits. outclassed
for several years, have been fired with
fresh ambition under new leadership,
while the Mackmen, who climbed TO
their highest notch in nine seasons
when they finished sixth last year. are
equipped TO battle with the leaders.
None Pennant Winner.
While none of these teams figure as
likely pennant victors amorg observ-
crs. many of whom incline TO favor a
fourth straight triumph for the New
York Yankees and Giants. they prom
Use TO be tyoublemakers of first rank.
So far rs the Braves and Athletics
are concerned. this season will mark
the first since 1924 that they have
jointly held the limelight. 1t was
Just decade ago that the Boston
miracle team" swept to a National
league pennant and then overwhelmed
the supposedly iRvincible White Ele-
plants in the worlds series.
Under the aggressive leadership of
Dave Bancroft, former Giant short
stop. the Braves have developed rapid
~ in the South. They have a bril-
liSnt corps of young hurlers with Ban
croft as the handspring Of attack and
defense.
WelI-balanced Club.
The Red Sox. bolstered by deals
with Detroit and Cleveland. have a
well-balanced combination of veterans
and youthful talent that Lee Foil,
who succeeded Frank Chance rs pilot.
promises TO keep in the running.
Mack has an expensive and formid-
able cast under his wing. the best
since the Athletics championship
days. Last season. the club was a SEN
sation in the spring and promises to
be more consistent this year with the
addition of such stars as Max Bishop.
baltimore second-sacker; Al Simmons.
Milwaukee outfielder, and Paul
Strand. Salt Lake City slugger. all Of
whom seem assured of regular berths.
