ATHLETICS ARE
PUZZLE TO FANS
STRENGTH Of Team Will Not Be
Known Until Spring

Philadelphia, Jan. . R-Managcr
Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia
Americans. has added an outfielder
and weeded out lot of mediocre
material. but the strength of the
1929 Athletics must remain somc-
what of puzzle to major league
baseball fans until he looks over his
team in spring training, or executes
a few more trades to plug up sup
posedly weak spots
The Athletics most pressing med
was an outfielder or two to replace
Ty Cobb and iris Speaker, veterans
who retired last fail. and Waiter
French, utility fly-ehaser. who also
went on the voluntary retired list.
After months 1icNerins with
Cleveland. Manager Mack obtained
the veteran Homer Slmlla at an
undisclosed cash price. thus giving
the Athletics four oGtfiel.iers---Al
Simmons, Bling Miller, Mule Haas
and Summa.
1t appears certain tnat Mack will
negotiate another leal or two if
possible. before he - satisfied With
the outfit that finish ID orIA few
games behind the champion New
York Yankees last year.
Another new player signed IS
John O'Rourko. Seattle youth
who will be third string catcher. He
is son of Tim ORC ,rke. who
played with Louisville while Mack

was catching for Pittsburgh many
years ago. Those released included
Joe Bush. veteran pitcher. Joe
Hauser. first baseman. and several
youngsters.
Eddie Collins is back az captain
and principal adviser. with Kid Glea-
son. Ira Thomas and Earl Mack %
assistants to the ianky leader. The
only significant announcement made
by Manager Mack recently was that
Ossie Orwall, smuggling left handled
pitcher, would no longer be used
in the box. Orwall probably will
play first base or substitute in the
outfield. his place on the pitching
staff having been taken by Carroll
Yerkes, nephew Of steve Yevlses.
the old Red Sox second baseman.
Jimmy Foxx probably will replace
Sammy Hale on third base. leaving
Orwall and Dykes to fight 1t out for
first. Either can o. used in the out
field.
Jack Boley at short stop and Max
Bishop. second baseman, are fix
lures at the middle defense. with
Hale and Joe Hassler A. infield rc-
servists.
The pitching staff virtually Ia ur-
changed. Mack expects great things
from Earnshaw. who was not IN
good playing condition when pur-
chased by the Athletics from Balti-
more last June.
The batterymen will leave Fetru-
airy % for Fort Myers. Fla, where
the team will train for the fifth
consecutive year.
The Athletics roster follows:
Pitchers-Quinn, Rommel. Earn

Grove and Yerkes.
Catchers-Cochrane, Perkins and

Former Champion Will Carry
Out Richards Wishes

New York, Jan. . R)-Jack
Dempsey is expected to announce
definitely tomorrow he has decided
to carry out Tex Richards wish that
he return to the ring this year in an
attempt to regain the heavyweight
championship OF the world.
At first perhaps inclined to give
up all thought Of a come back ow-
ing to the shock of losing the man
who played so big part in shaping
his fighting destiny, Dempsey now
seems to think that he could do
nothing more appropriate than carry
on as the promoter would have
wished. His feeling perhaps is that
with Richards passing it is more
binding on him than before to carry
out the promoters desire that he
fight once more.
Unless there is a shake-up In the
program. this means Dempsey's next
and probably last fight will take
place at the Yankee Stadium some
time In September. more than 10
years after he won the heavyweight
title from Jess Willard and three
years. to the month. after he lost it
to Gene Tunney.

liminaries to the grand climax arc
planned.
"Rickard did a lot for me In the
years we worked together" said
Dempsey. Il have had great conf
dence in his judgment and great re-
spect for his friendship from the
time l first met him at Goldfeld,
back about 1911, when l was just a
kid and boxing only now and then
as an amateur. He never gave me
a bad steer.
1.-THE best thing ! can think Of to
do is to carry on as knew he
wanted me to do. We shared tinan-
cial interest in this Miami Beach
fight, and that's one reason why
am going back there to try to put 1t
over
Dempsey may qualify his an
nounce ment of a forthcoming come
back to the extent of saying it de-
ponds on whether he can regain his
old fighting condition. Those close to
him. however. do not believe any
serious obstacles will arise.
The directors Of Madison Square
Garden, whether or not they have
their eye on Dempsey as a possible
successor to Richards titular role IN
boxing, are understood to favor
fighting come back by the former
champion. For one thing. they are
anxious to further richards pro-
gram for a revival of heavyweight
interest by GROWING Tunney's sue
cessor, at the same time endeavor-
ing to recoup the losses suffered IN
1928.
without the participation OF
Dempsey, it is not believed any SER
les of heavyweight tests would pro-
duce a generally recognized cham
pion or develop much financial
profit.
