FALT TER
IN HIT |VG

BOSTON, April 20.-"H it's not
one thing, it's another in this base
ball game" remarked Cornelius
McGillicuddy today as he sat in q
corner of the Brunswick Hotel
lobby making notes in a small
memorandum book. Mr.. McGili-
cuddy's notes, Il may be written,
had to do with a shake-up in the
batting order Of his Athletics.
"Our pitching has been delight
ful surprise to me" continued the
veteran manager. Our fielding has
been good; might say that it was
pleasantly smart and efficient.
But here we are with one vic
tory In five games played. And all
because in the one department
where we felt we were strong
might say strongest have been
woefully weak"
Then Connie Mack, sitting with
the book closed, so that what he
had written might not be seen by
q casual bysitter, admitted that
he was working on. new ar
rangement of his batting punch.
He was. not ready to say just how
he would jockey his batters.
Max Bishop undoubtedly will con-
tinue to lead off. Fitz French
probably will bat No, 2. Bill Lamar
may occupy the No. peg. From
then on it is guessing.
Maybe Joe Hauser will be the
man In the cleanup position.
But he, is left-hand hitter, and
Bishop, French and Lamar swing
a club the same way. The ideal
cleanup" man will be a right
handler.
Al Simmons, who was within a
few points of being the American
League champion last year, has the
sicl1ly percentage OF .181 for five
games. Al batsman cant clean up"

NEW YORK, April 20.-zIf the
Eemaining 81 weeks OF the major
league campaigns parallel the
first, rounded out today, the boys
who spent the off-season telling
how the clubs would finish, and
why, probably will obey that inn
pulse and strike for more pads
and bigger cells.
They simply won't put up witt
the old dations, which
never were adequate for emergency
cases, anyhow.
wrong is likely to be righted but,
at the moment, everyone seems to
be crazy except the boys and
even some of them are beginning
TO suspect one another.
The situation is more than alb
normal with the Athletics and
Browns trailing the American
League race and a slugging club
ike the Champion Pirates, not
only well down in the National
Leagues second division, but aver
aging only trifle more than three
runs game. Lack Of hitting is
ent position; that and the fact
that the outfit has been handi-
capped by injuries and pre-sea-
son rains. The club was last at
this time last year, soS the Ale
gheny River still is free of folating
bodies.
OF course, with the exception
Of the Phillies, no club is hit
ting as It did in 1925, the dead"
BAH having refnstated pitching to
popular favor. But irrespective
of conditions, the Athletics and
pace that every big league club
should be able to follow.
Returns show the Athletics with
the absurd total Of eighteen runs
for seven games. They hit fairly
wei after Johnson and Coveleskie
knocked them over in the first two
games but have not made the most
OF their hitting.
With the new BAH In effect, it
seems possible that some may have
oyerrated the Athletics. 1t viii be
speed game from now on and
Mack's entry is far from smart on
the bases.
The Browns simply have got
away flat-footed, which is not sur
prising in view of the clubs adj
vanced age. Few of the pitchers
have shown a thing. but the hitters
have made it none too easy for
them, at that, by getting only
seventeen runs in six games.
However, the Reds and Indians
have shown that they can win
games without a superfIuity of
runs. The Indians, indeed, have
been. the surprise of the early
going, their pitchers carrying a
slugging outfit which somehow
has scored not, neither has It
slugged. The Indians have scored
Just thirteen runs to date.
The Reds were expected to be
punchless and SO far they have
disappointed no one. However, one
cannot go behind their pitching

the reason the Reds are ND with

Of hitting. The Sox are getting
the best pitching in the American

of the Griffnrsn, who also have
failed to hit them far and often.
The Cards pitching has been
unusually good but it has been
the teams ability to hit with run.

most encouragement. 1t has been
a one-inning club, and with dead
ball, that kind of an outfit seldom
goes wrong.
McGraw is getting only fair

cause he has beaten the gun by
bringing his tactics right up TO

made 80 hits in seven games and
therefore, are in the first division.
If the Yanks had had the pitching
they were supposed to have under
cover, they would have been well
out in front by this time.
The reverse of this would apply
to the Tigers case. The club is
up with the leaders but it would
have done much better if its real
punch has asserted itself, which 1t
didn't.
