Imperial Valley press., 1929-04-25

The carly fortunes Of the race
favor the Athletics. Connie Mack
has his bah club in far better shape
than the Yankees.
Al Simmons has returned to the
lineup, swinging Lis deadly bludgeon
none the less effectively for his lay
off. The As infield is working
smoothly with FoXX at first, Bishop
at second, Dykes at short and Hale
at third. FoXx and Hale are hitting
around 400 each.
Pitchers Going Good
The As pitchers have exceeded
all early expectations. George Earn
shaw joined the winning group in
his first start Of the season ycster-
day against Washington. Lefty
Grove apparently has recovered from
his fingernail ailmcnt.
One Of the brightest spots in the
As play has been the work of
Mickey Cochranc, selected as the
most valuable player in the league
last season. Cochrane's 5 brilliant
handling Of the Philadelphia pitchers
promises to get the maximum out of
them this season.
Connie Mack has his club up on
its toes fighting this season. In the
recent series against the Yankees the
Philadelphia players demonstrated
that they expect to ride into the
world champions for all they are
worth this season. After losing the
tough p game in which Haas lost
two fly balls in the sun, the Ath-
lctics came back fighting harder
than ever the next day.
The As broke even in the series
and Connie Mack left town vowing
the Yankee iinX was broken.
