BATTLE IN
CONNIE MACK HAS | HOPES OF TENANT
Builds Infeld Around Eddie Collins, Star Second Baseman,

Philadelphia, Jan. 25 R3-A new infield built around Eddie Collins. his star second baseman of cham pionship days. carries the pennant hopes of 64 year old Connie Mack in his 27th season as manager of the Philadelphia Athletics.
 Returning to the same post he oc- cupied in Mack's famous $100.000 1nfield combination sixteen years ago. Collins, deposed leader of the White Sox, will have new Philadelphia CO., workers on both right and left, Con- nie has indicated. Replacing Gallo way at shortstop will be Joe Boley. acquired from the Baltimore Inter nationals. At first base will be Dud- ley Branom. hard hitting star from the Kaisas City club of the American association. Jimmy Dykes again is slated for third base.
 With the combination as starter Mack probably will have the best equipped reserve infleld in organized baseball Poole for first base, Bishop, second; Galloway, short and Hale third.
 The changes have been made primarily to bolster one of the weak est hitting clubs of the 1928 Ameri- can league campaign. In Collins and Branom he has obtained two players who hit well over 300 last year. Boley also climbed into the select group of the International
 One more heavy artilleryman for the lineup was obtained in the sign- ing of the veteran former Brooklyn outfelder. Zach Wheat, who for years finished among the National league batting leaders. Zach appears slated to patrol left field. with Al Simmons in center and Walter French in right West and Wilson from Waco, Texas and Metzler of Michita Falls will seek to displace the veterans, while Mack also may find room for Bill Lamar.
 The pitching staff, holding over from last year, includes Howard Ehmke. Sam Gray. Ed Rommel and Jack Quinn. right handlers, and Grove, Willis, Walberg and Pate. southpaws. Darrah and Hunter from Dallas, Shores from Wichita Falls and Yerkes, a Philadelphia product. also are possibilities.
 Mickey Cochrane, Cy Perkins and Jimmy Fox again will handle the catching assignment.
 We've done everything possible to strengthen the team," Mack said T figure 1t will be a tough race, but I have hunch we will be leading the procession next October. If not, I'm still ready to try again the following year"

and Johnson. However, when Lan- dis learned Johnson was "out" as president of the, league, he postpon- ed his conference temporarily.
 Johnson's relinquishment of control was based around his phy- sical condition. Doctors told the American League club owners that Johnson was in i'll health and need ed a rest. They allowed him to take a leave of absence, and appointed Navin acting president.
 Johnson has not been fired" The baseball father merely decided that he needed a vacation-a long one. Johnson's personal physician submitted a statement to the meet ing that his patient was in impera- tive no'l of a rest. The chute was set-and Johnson slid.
 But the man who gave 34 years of his life to baseball isn't out in the cold world. His annual salary of $40,000 will roll in for some time to come. Only his authority had been decapitated.
 The action of the club presidents of the American League definitely settles the power of Judge Landis, who was drafted from the federal bench to purify baseball after the 1919 Black Sox" scandal.
 For years Johnson and Landis have squabbled and have differed
New Britain herald., 1927-01-24

on major issues.
 Recently there was ''get to- gether" between the two and much of hapdshaking. Indications were that perfect harmony existed be- tween the American League head and the baseball commissioner.
 However, after Judge Landis made public charges against Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker, charges which involved the two stars in all legged gambling activities, Johnson and Landis again differed. John son charged Landis with making public something that the American League should have handled.
 Landis then called the meeting for today at which he planned to determine who had control of base ball. Johnson issued several state ments against Landis and the judge had not answered any of them, de- pending on today's meeting to do that.
 Most of yesterdays meeting was secret. The club presidents confer red most of the day at an exclusive club then later called Commissioner Landis into a conference,
 Landis conferred with the presi- dents for about three hours and then a statement was issued saying that Johnson had been granted a leave of absence.
 The commissioner said the John son matter was the only one dis cussed when it was brought to his attention that attorneys for Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker were here plan ming to confer with him. He said they had made an unnecessary trip If they planned to appear before the

Lomen then offered amendments providing that 'of scientific at tainmens" to carry fish propagation" at Ketchi~ kan, and appropriating $25,OOO for the biennium.
 Charles Benjamin, thinking that enough money should be set aside to plant the fry hand offer ed to support the amendment if the were reduced to $1O,OOO. This accepted by Lomen It is thot that Benjamin did not realize that to restabsh the fish hatchery by giving the "for the bienium' to the Road Commission.
 Such move is just what you might expect from a member of the reindeer fraternity-the propagation of fish by the Road Commission. Not bad idea try the Road Commission the reindeer industry.
