MACK OUT 1 ID WIN PENNANT
Believes Athletics Will Come
 Through Next Season

New York, Feb. l5 (UP)-Connie Mack believes the ball club which finished two games behind the New York Yankees last season will ne good enough to win the American league pennant this season. Consequently, the Philadelphia Athletics lineup will be practically the same as during the latter days of the 1928 race. Only 27 players will be taken to the As training camp at Fort Myers. Fla. Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker, who went south with the club last season. are the most important departures. Southpaw pitching will figure prominently in Connie Aack's stra- tegy for the coming campaign. De- spite the fact that the As have two ! of the best ieft-handed pitchers in | baseball in Lefty Grove and Rube I Walberg. three of the seven new | players are southpaw pitchers. Carroll Yerkes. who was farmej out 10 Portland last season and re- called late in the year. has a place ' phia pitching corps. He pitched tke final game of the season for the As, and although allowing five hits, was beaten, l to 0. He won II and lost II for Portland. He is a5 years old and has been pitching profes- sionally only three seasons.
 Two former St. Louis Browns, Stewart Bolen and Ernie Wingard, are the other new southpaws. Bolen won 20 games and lost 15 for Balti- more last season. pitching 22 com plete games and striking out 157 batters. Wingarj. former Cniver- sity of Alabama star. won 24 games and lost 10 for Milwaukee last sea son. Bolen and Wingard are the same age, 2G.
 The other pitching addition is Bt.l Shores, young right handler who was headed for a regular berth a year ago when he injured his pitcn- ing arm in | wrestling match with another rookie. In mid-season he was sent to the Wichita Falls Texa. league club where he won games and lost 5. He is a4.
 The veteran pitchers includ. Grove. Walberg. Earnshaw, Ehmke Quinn and Rommel.
 Michey Cochrane. voted the mos, valuable player in the league lasl season, and Ralph Perkins. will taky care of the catching.
 After Connie Mack has shuffled his infield around, the lineup prob. ably will be: FoxX at first. Btshot at second. Boley at short. Hale ol Dykes at third. If Mack decide, to use Orwoll at first, Foxx proba o,, will be used at third. Joe HassleI will also be available for infielt duty.
 Orwoll, who is listed as pitch. CT on the Philadelphia roster. 1. quite likely to be used in the out. field or at first base because of hi: batting skill.
 Al Simmons, Mule Haas and Binl Miller have first call in the outfieIi Three new outtielders have been ac quired. They arc Homer Summa who batted over 300 during his si, years with the Indians. Nick Bor lelli, signed as free agent, and Rel man Hume. the Southern Methods football star.
 The Athletics probable sQua, follows:
 Catchers-Cochran Perkins.
 Pitchers-Grove. Walberg, Rom mel, Ehmke, Quinn, Earnshaw iWingard. Yerkes. Shores. Bolen.
 Inf1eld-Foxx at first. Bishop q second, Bolcy at shortstop, Hale d third. Dykes and Hassler, reserves Outfield-Simmons, Haas, Miller Orwoll, Summa.

Only one team has been successful in defeating the Corbin Screw bas- Ietball team this year and that team. FafniIs, win play the Screw Shop in the last of three scheduled games in the Industrial league at the Tabs hall tonight.
 P. & F. Corbins will play Russell & Erwin in tho opening contest and Stanley Rule and Cabinet Lock will battle it out in the second tilt.
 In their last meeting on December 2S the Fafnir team won when How. ard Belser, captain of the Fafnir team. in the last few seconds, drop ped foul shot through the netting and gave his team a ore point ad- l vantage in 24 to 23 score. As a result of that defeat Corbin Screw had tough time trying to I keep on top for a few weeks. Now 1t stands two full games ahead of Fafnirs and the Rule Shop which are in g second place tie. If Stanley Rule defeats Corbin Cabinet Lock two teams in second places will be within one game of Corbin Screw in first place. P. & F. Corbins can move into ! fifth place if they win while Corbin Cabinet Lock is losing, but if it loses ] Russell & Erwin will move from sec ond last place to sixth in the league | standing.
 Anxious to Win | If the Screw Shop should win while it's two rivals in second place are losing it will be three full games in the lead. Since there will be only five more games to play 1t could af- ford defeats in most Of these games and still be in the lead. Two captains will probably face each other in this game. Howard Belser. captain of Fafnirs. may he guarded by Hank" Arburr, Corbiu Screw captain. Darrow, Corbn Screw guard. may be assigned the task of guarding Al Havlick. bis Burritt teammate. Mieczkowski an,i Matulis. Fafnir guards, will be ca,- cd upon to handle the fast scor.rs combination of Andy Yakubowic> and Joe Luke who stand first a,, :. second among the leading scorers the league. Joe Luty and Ger, Gierochowski. center, will have ]; out for the jump.
 ln Losing Streak
 Corbin Cabinet has lost five oul ot it's last six games, it's only vie tory being onc-point margin o>..,I Fafnirs. If it wishes to stay in ,hn race for the title 1t must start win- ming again.
 In the last meeting between Cat. met and Stanley Rule, the Rulers won by one point. 20 to 19.
 lorbin Team Climbing
 r. X F. Corbin team dropped sev- cral games in row at the beginning of the season, but 1t is climbing un- der the direction Of it's new coach. Ormond Bates, and it now has al chance 10 enter into the .eal fiK.,t which is going on in first division ,s it wins tonight.

With Kid" William ms and Harry (Cowboy) Thompson playing as a perfect scoring team last night, the New Britain roller hockey club jumped back to within half game of Albany in the league standing by defeating the Providence club 10 to [ at the Stanley Arena.
 At the start of the game, the Providence defense started to guard Williams as tightly as possible but Harry Thompson came through as the scoring ace and completely up- set the plans of the Rhode Islanders by caging two goals in the first three minutes of play. This necessitated the visitors changing over to stop Thompson, and when they did, Will Hams opened up and kept the op- position on the defense all the time.

TRADES COUNCIL URGES ALL
CITIZENS TO BUY ELECTRIC
CURRENT FROM HOME PLANT

At the meeting of Trades Council
held Tuesday night, strong resolu-
tions were adopted in which all loyal
citizens were urged and called upon
to buy electric current from the city's
own plant. The resolutions, submitted
by Stanley Ogg, make plain the rea-
sons why the people of Hamilton
should patronize themselves and are
as follows:
Resolution
Whereas, The City of Hamilton be-
ing engaged in the manufacture of
electric current through the munici-
pal owned electric light plant, built
and equipped with the latest improv-
ed modern generating equipment with
the approval of the citizens of Hamil-
ton; and,
Whereas, New units are being add
ed to this plant in order to enable the
city to supply all the homes, CONNER
cial and small power establishments
with electric current at just and
reasonable cost; and,
Whereas, The municipal owned cleo
trio plant now being complete in every
way, is able to supply current to all
homes, commercial and small power
users in the city; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the delegates to
the COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council Of Hamilton, Ohio, in regular
session assembled, call upon all loyal
citizens of the city of Hamilton to
purchase electric current from theil
own plant to the end that the city
of Hamilton may be enabled to furnish
said current to its citizens at lower
rate than now charged; and be it
further
Resolved, That we firmly believe
that it is the duty of all citizens of
Hamilton to patronize the municipal
owned electric light plant in prefer
ence to privately owned plants, for
the reasons outlined here:
% The municipal owned electric
light plant was ordered built and
equipped by vote of the people of
the city of Hamilton, who signified
by the very large vote cast favoring
the building of said plant, that they
favored the city owning and operating
its own public utilities.
