Connie Mack appeared at the
Thomas Roberts Reath Marine
Post, No. 1856, in st. James
Guild House last night, and
talked about next season. He
gives the Yankees an undis-
puted first, and hopes that the
Athletics will stroll into second
place. He says his recent &C
quirements have the punch his
team needed. AS for the prob
able lineup, Connie says the
infield will be made up of
Hauser, Bishop or Dykes, Gal
loway and Hale. He thinks
Bishop may capture the job at
second base, but would like to
keep Dykes for a utility man.
In the outfield will be Miller,
Simmons and Strand. He
prophesied that Simmons will,
by July, be classed as a won
derful ball player.

frankie is not one of those nose

His efforts to reach the top Of

sensational twenty-rOund victory
over Bugler Lake. The Bugler
lost the bantam championship to
Johnny Brown q few weeks ago.

from a form of stomach trouble,
was called in by President Veeck,
who agreed to send him to an X.ray
specialist for the purpose Of taking
three plates or photographs.
"Hollocher had one taken and
then suddenly left the club on
August 8, after leaving a note In
forming Manager Killefer he was
unable to play any more, and that
he had departed for his home in
st. Louis.
soon after he filed claim for
volutary retirement, and forthwith
Commissioner Lands had him placed
under that classification.
HOIlocher continued to improve
after returning home and now re-
ports himself i'm fine physical
shave. If this is correct. and he
reaches an agreement with the
Cubs, then il means the North
Side machine will probably make
q great first division fight in
1924, in addition to looming dan
gerouSly as pennant contender.
"Hollocher, when right, IL the
equal IL not the superior Of any
shortstop in baseball.
Those are the unprecedented
facts of the Hollocher case.
Now, here is Hollocher'B sida
of the affair.
"Hollocher believes he il entitle"
to his salary from August 3 (the
day he quit the club until the en-
Of the season. His contract was
perfectly satisfactory.

even though he was classified

in a statement he issued yeWterda!;
HolIocher, an athlete Of the so
called neurOtic type, Is OF an I'M
certain quantity, as far as hi
value to machine play Of the
Cubs is concerned.
"ll he is in the. lineup all tho
year the Cubs chances for a frs
division berth-not to mention
pennant-are considerably enhanced
The Cub officials are willing
meet all Of Hollocher"s demands
although under baseball rules h
is not entitled to salary during thu
period he was on the temporary
retired list.
But the Cubs also want a form
of guarantee that Hollocher will h
in the lineup consistently through
out the 1924 season. Therefore
President Veeck informed Hollochel
he Is willing to give him half the
money he believes due him at the
end Of the coming season and tho
remainder at the end Of the 1925
season.
This, President Veeck believes
will insure Killefer and North Side
fandom that Hollocher ia sincere in
his desire to assist the club"
President Veeck reiterated his
stand last night that no further
compromise would be effected with
the recalcitrant shortstop.

Murchison has little to do save
keep in shape for the tryouts for
the Olympic team to be held at
Cambridge in June. II Paddock is
reinstated, as now appears to be
the case, the great duel between
these phenomS will be resumed.
Murchison defeated Paddock at
the Olympic tryouts in 1920, but at
the games he was left at the post
because of his ignorance Of foreign
starting methods. Murchison. Pad
dock, Scholz and Kirksey had all
won their heats at Antwerp. But
in the semi final, after a false break
on part Of the field, Murchison
rested for a moment waiting for
the command to get set. 1t never
came, and before he realized 1t, the
starters gun had been fired and
the potential winner had been left
at post. Photographs Of the start
bear out this statement.
MurchisOn has been credited
with breaking ten seconds but
seldom. This honor has been at
tributed to Paddock. Lever, Hus-
sey, LOvejOy, Paulu, LecOney,

Clark, but when these sprinters
hook up with MurchisOn, he
seems to come home In front. In
justice to the Newark A. c. flyer
it must be said that he is a conf
petitiVe runner rather than q
time expert. He consistently de-
feats those who have been rated
as world heaters on q time basis.
They simply fall back In the
ruck before his tearing pace.
Furthermore, there have been
some who seem to discern evidences
of retrogression in Joie Ray this
year. Eight times has he won the
one mile national title consecutively,
besides picking up the half-mile
and five mile championships on the
side at intervals. He has averaged
better than Alb in winning the
national championship for the past
eight years. Last month he sue
ceeded in turning 4:18 rs in winning
at Boston on a twelve.lap track
truly phenomenal performance.
1t is fair to assume that when
Joie Ray steps off in the George.
town games next week, the field
that opposes him, even though &C.
corded generous handicaps will have
to develop terrific speed, If another
victory on the part of the diminu'
tive Chicagoan is to be averted
Ray has the winning habit. He
has supreme confidence in his own
ability. Furthermore he is the
finest Judge Of pace In the running
world today. After the finish Of q
race, he is able to tell, often within
several fractions of a second, just
the time he made in swapping the
fQna.
