The speaker was none other

Here he isl growled Joe Bush,

Outfielder, appeared miraculously.
That Bush really can do more

From sources close to the outfit
it was learned today that all is fan

Philadelphia Athletics. and That the

nent. Kid Gleason. hired to put
vim, vigor and vanilla into the
ball club in the capacity of over
seer, has not found conditions al
together harmonious. and is said
to have incurred the displeasure OF
Connie Mack.
Those who have followed the team
declare that its head is down, which
may be taking a lot for granted, at
that. Some carpirg critics seem
to feel that speaking of heads in
connection with the Athletics is
like discussing orchids with fish

The Athletics were one Of two
clubs that caught the popular fancy
Of the preseason handicappers.
The other was the Pittsburgh
Pirates. and 1t NAV be worthy of
mention that both are in last place
in their respective leagues today.
The Pirates simply aren't hitting.
but they will. However. the Ath-
letics' problem is not 50 simple Of
solution.
The writer does not know from
personal observation that Kid
Gleason was absent from Shibe
Park during several games Of the
important series with the Sen.
atOrs, but this was common gossip
around Philadelphia.
There was no official statement
made in connection with the Incl
dent, and the assumption was that
Gleason had found his new position
not altogether admirable. The Kid
is rather quick on the trigger.
The Athletics. on the other hand,
earned the reputation Of being a bit
muscular around the ears last year,
and some Of their performances
this season have been enough to
prompt Connie and the Kid to do
q dual dive into an empty bath tub.

games serves as an excellent
example.

Yankees a Menace
TT NHERALDED as contenders,
the Yankees are becoming
a menace in the early days
of this 1926 pennant race.
All reports from st. Petersburg
had the Yanks a terrible collec-
ton of real estate dealers and
golfers trying vainly to resemble
baseball players. Several alleged
experts are already beginning to
look pink around the ears.
Instead of weaklings, the Yanks
are proving most formidable.
They can hit that ball, which
covers multitude of infractions
of baseball law.
1t was rather expected that
those Cleveland sluggers would
get away we'll and that the Tigers
would look strong at the start.
but Washington and PHILADELPHIA
have failed to live up to the pre-.
season dope. This is especially
true of the Mackmen.
Browns a Surprise
"HE st. Louis Browns are the
real surprise of the early
campaign.
At Tarpon Springs, Fla, where
they trained, the Browns had the
pennant won as early as March
10. Hardly a writer left their
camp but agreed with them that
they were in for a great year.
And see what happened.
First they hit the White Sox.
who absolutely declined to be i'm
pressed by the would-be contender.
Then the Tigers took them over
the hurdles. Today there is
sackcloth and ashes on the door
steps of every St. Louis fan.
On paper the Browns have a
strong team. But no games are
decided on paper. That strength
ened pitching staff has been
throwing somersaults. That Won
derful infield has been a sieve
in tight places. That smuggling
outfield is not discernible to the
naked eye.
While the failure of the Browns
is remarkable. the good work of
the Yanks is equally surprising
on the other side. If the Yanks
get even fair pitching, their stick
work is sure to worry every other
club in the circuit.
The Yankees are a distinct
to such contenders as the
Griffmen and the AS SO long as
their pitching stands up.
And how some of those alleged
experts must feel today is some
thing else again, those gentlemen
who ridiculed Miller Higgins and
MS players SO effectively last
month.
