and gates for them.
In a reminiscent as well as pro-
phetic mood at the dinner and "irst

given by the 900" miIilonaires Of the

heavyweight champion predicted that
the time was soon coming when the

PHILADELPHIA, January S.
Connie Mack, veteran leader of
the Athletics, is one mana ger
i who has resolved the New York
Yankees will not make a run
away Of another American League
remnant race next season.
Mack. beginning the twenty.eiShth
year Of his reign as manager of the
Athletics, sees a tighter American
League race in 1925 and figures every
club. including his own. has made
great strides in strengthening its
team.
The Athletics. who finished in sec
ond place last season, made two
trades, bringing Outfielder Ring Mil
Ter back To Philadelphia and adding
Ossie Orwell. Milwaukee flash, with
out apparently deiracting from their
strength
Not only does Mack believe the Ath-
letics Will be stronger from playing
standpoint next season, but he ftgures
Washington, with young pitchers and
stronger than ever. as one of the most
dangerous teams in the circuit. Also
he has considerable respect for the
pitching proves of the Chicago
White SoX.
AS Now Younger.
With a slightly remodeled base ball
machine, the Athletics viii enter the
1925 American League pennant race
with their hopes wrapped up in youth.
Joe Hauser, hack from Kansas City,
will plug up a hig gap at first base,
and Miller, traded TO ST. Louis in
June. 1926, and recently brought back
in trade for Pitcher Sam Gray, will
he in left field.
L. ne irN rs
Zack Wheat. BABY Doll Jacobson, Ty
Cobb and Chick Galloway, have been
discarded.
Much of the Athletics base ball fu-
ture depends on the ability of Hauser
at first base. A leading first Sacker
until he broke his right kneecap in
the Spring of 1925. Hauser has spent
the past two years regaining use of
the damaged knee.
The Athletics Spring lineup will
be Hauser. first base: Bishop, Second
Sammy Hale. third base. Their aver.
age age is only IS years, and they
have played together long enough to
become a machine.
Fight for Right Field.
Al Simmons. the brilliant young out.
fielder and sensational hitter. will
cavort in center. Miller VIII be in
left, but right field is a toss-up be-
tween Bevo Lebourveau, bought from
Toledo. and Walter French, former
Army star.
The experienced catching staff COM
prises Mickey Cochrane. Cy Perkins
and Jimmy Foxx, who has just turned
90. but has been with the Athletics
three years.
The pitching problem has been
somewhat relieved by the purchase of
Ossie Orwell Milwaukee's combina-
ton southpaw hurler and outfielder
Joe Bush. a veteran of five ma jor
league clubs. has been taken on.
