What, dear children, is wrong with
the above sentence?
Not a thing. Fer the day the an
nouncement was made MIR. William
S~outhworth was a catcher in per-
fectly good order. with high hopes OF
becoming a great backstop, instead
Of a first class outfielder and event
ually a manager.
Few persons know that the man
who is to lead the ST. Louis Cardi-
nails in 1929 started his Ger as a
catcher.
Sou;hworth had decided to take up
baseball as a career while trying TO

tive Mr.. Southworth.
Because we've got only two out

ager Childs' illuminating answer
Wh-ereupon Southworth became
an outfielder. The fact that the
Cleveland American League club
bought him the very next season
would indicate that as a catcher he
had become a pretty fair gardener.
Not realizing that for the next IL
years or so the club would be con
stantly short one good outfielder the
Cleveland officials finally let him
,lip away. First he was fsrmed 70

the Pacific coast and then to bir-

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-Pi-
Manager Connie Mack, OF the Phil
a~delphia Americans. has added an
outfielder and weeded out q lot Of
mediocre material. but the strength
Of the 1929 Athletics must remain
somewhat OF a puzzle to baseball
fans until he looks over his team in
spring training.
The Athletics most pressing need
vas an ortfielder, or two to replace
Ty Cobb and iris Speaker, veterans
Who retired last fall, and Walter
French, utility fly-chaser. who also
went on the voluntary retired list.
After a months dickering with
Cleveland. Manager Mack obtained
the veteran Homer Summa giving
the Athletics four cutfielders-Al
Simmons. Bing Miller, Mule Haas
and Summa.
SIugger Not to Pich
Another new player signed is John
O'Rourke, Seattle youth, who will be
third-string catcher. Those released
included Joe Bush, veteran pitcher;
Joe Hauser, first baseman, and sew
eral youngsters.
Eddie Collins is back as captain
and principal adviser, with Bill Glea-
son, Ira Thomas and Earl Mack as
assistants TO the lanky leader. The
only significant announcement made
by Manager Mack recently was that
Ossie Orwell, slugging left-handed
pitcher, no longer would be used in
the tox. Orwell probably will play
first base or substitute in the out
field. His place on the pitching staff
has been taken by Carroll Yerkes.
Jimmy Foxx probably will replace
Sammy Hale on third base, leaving
Orwell and Dykes to fight il out for
first. Either can be used in the
outfield.
Jack Boley at shortstop and Max
Bishop, second baseman, are fixtures
at the middle defense, with Hale and
Joe Hassler as infield reservists.

The pitching staff virtually is I'M
changed. Mack expects great things
from Earnshaw, who was not in good
playing condition when purchased by
the Athletics from Baltimore last

sUNOCO MOTOR FUEL

Every year sees improvements in
automobiles, says Mr.. Herman Brit
ton local manager of the Sun Oil Co.
These changes are quickly notice
able.
There are changes too, in the
motor fuels which you are buying
today, because as the motor cars be-
come more efficient in their ability
to perform, they must have a motor
fuel which will permit the car to per-
form up to the Manufacturers ex-
pectations. Blue Sunoco is strictly
a modern fuel, and it is due to the
cleverness of the Sun Oil Company's
engineers that a method has been
found whereby the qualities so nee
essary in a modern fuel can be OBJ
tanned effectively from petroleum.
The older method of adding GER
tain ingredients to ordinary gasoline
does produce quite acceptable
motor fuel, but it is very likely that
in ten years other engineers may
find methods, as the Sun Oil Com
pany has, of making very superior
motor fuel without the addition OF
any foreign substances.
