Dan Howley won't have to do much

catchers. His only trouble will be to
obtain that many big leaguers before
the season opens.
Howley stoutly maintains that he Is
going to be stronger than anybody
thinks he is. That isn't saying much
None of the other managers give the
Reds credit for being a powerful aggre-
cation. Yet the club has some good
looking ball players.
The Reds have a pretty good de-
fensive team, but a team with no great
attacking power. They lack the punch
necessary to score the flock of runs that
modern base ball so often demands.

TORT MYERS, Fla, March IS
~ The development Of the Phila-
deiphia Athletics in their Spring
training camp has left some
thing to be desired to judge from
performances, even though nothing
has occurred serious enough to dislodge
the world champions as favorites IN the
forthcoming pennant race.
Although there is no pay-oh on the
results of exhibition games, the defeat
Of the AS in three out of four games
with their world series rivals, the st.
Louis Cardinals, did not prove enjoy
able to Connie Mack and his asso-
ciates.
Mack's Chief Concern.
With the start of the season only
about three weeks of, Mack's principal
concerns are these:
I'd The ability Of the clubs veteran
infield to Withstand the wear and tear
of another full campaign effectively.
(2) The ability of Grove ard Earn
shaw again to shoulder the pitching
burden to the extent of winning so
games between them, besides saving q
flock of others.
80 The annual task of signing Al
Simmons, the clubs premier punch,
complicated by reports that the ia
nous outflelder intends to demand 3
100000 three-year contract.
Only the run Of the season will fur
nish the answer to the first items.
Mack has several promising youngsters
for inf1eld requirements If Dykes,
Boley and Bishop fail to meet expec-
tations or suffer miShaps. These re-
serves. however, are still short Of big
league requirements in experience.
The AS gained a third sacker, but lost
their best utility man, when Dykes
was assigned to regular work.
Two Good Slab Rockies.
In seeking support for the twin hJri-
ing aces. the AS have uncovered two
unusually promising recruits in Hank
Mcdonald, the California boy, and Lew
Krausse, an 18-year-old product OF
Philadelphia suburban diamonds. Mc1
Donald has been the more impressive
in exhibition games. He has had the
benefit of IA" experience, with Port
land Of the Pacific Coast League. He is
big, fast and strong for his 10 years.
with the AS late last year and has
made q strong impression, especially
on Cochrane.
If Mack can get winning results
from one of these youths this year, he
will be well fixed, for he counts on
consistent work from RUDE Wa1berg,
Leroy Mahaffey, Eddie Rommel and
Bill Shores in support Of Grove and
Earnshaw.
May Sign at Last Minnie.
Mack, when the subject was brought
up, told the Associated Press he did
not classify Simmons as holdout, hav-
ing agreed with the outhelder to post
pone final discussion Of salary terms
until they meet In Philadelphia before
the season opens. Simmons did not
sign until just before the opening game
year ago.
If his demands are as high as they
have been reported, it may take another
last-mirute confab to get Al into the
starting lineup. The best bet, how
ever, is that he will be in there.

no exhibition game today, but II
any of the players had an idea they

ferred with Manager Bill Killefer about
it. Skipper Bill Is displeased with the
way his Browns have been fielding late
", and he is not making any secret OF
1t. Killefer. however, Is just as happy
over the way his players have been
hitting as he is unhappy over the way
they have been fielding.

BY FRANCIS z. STAN.

TO quote Heinie Webb, the old
sandlot war horse, "the hardest
hitting sandlot base ball club Of
the last is years was Harry
Smithson's Pullman team, city series
champion last year."
This bit of expert opinion may cause
some of the local sandlot gentry to sit
up and take notice-especially some Of
the elder sandlot sages who dote on
barking back to the days when you
really had to hit ball to get homer
or triple"
THAT Pullman team Of last year"
Heinie declares, could hit almost any
thing sandlot pitcher served up to
the plate"
Not only does the veteran Union
Printer pitcher, who generally is ac-
credited with having heaved more base
balls plateWard than any other local
sandlotter in the game today, rate the
Terminal League champions as the
most potent bludgeon wielders Of the
last Is years, but he also thinks that
for all-around play Harry Smithson's
club could be ranked as Washington's
greatest all-time sandlot team.
WEBB, however, though he belongs
w in the "old school," but still wins
games, doesn't think the brand of
base ball played on the sandlots today
is better than that Of 10 or IL years
Il don't think it's as good" says
Heinie. Certainly not as smart. But
If there was a harder hitting team
than the PullmanS, 1 never saw it"
Webb vouchsafes this statement
after being reminded through the me-
dunn of a scrap of paper-a leftover
from last year-that the Pullman team
averaged 1851 swinging from the plate.
A mark of 300 generally is rated a
pretty good average, but Harry Hall,
Second-sacker, turned in that average
and was the weak sister"
It was a .585 by Marcus Chaconas
that took high honors.
Intermixed between the weak sis
ter" and the "howitzer" were Dutch
Smithson with .429; Fee Colliere with
.428; Lefty Trip with .342: Fpck
Stahl with BIT; Babe Clapper with
1888; Charlie Booker with .324, and
Ed Radke with .311.
Pullman, with a nine-man "mur-
derers' row" and the clever Babe Clap
per knocking of win after win on
the mound, lost only one game during
the entire Terminal League season.
And the Terminal generally is reckon
ed as the city's strongest weekday
circuit.

~ hitting Terminal catcher last year,
