There are several reasons for this state of affairs. First, Connie Mack, veteran manager of the Athletics. is "a firm believer in letting well enough alone. Second, he is a high ly sentimental old gentleman and dreads the thought of disbanding the team that brought him his first pen- nant in IA long years. Third, Mack has no fresh material capable of busting his regulars from their jobs.
 Plenty of Glass.
 The club right now, in the best betting circles, is a z to 10 favorite league despite the fact that three of the clubs infielders-Boley, Bishop and Dykes--are no longer youngsters and have seen better days. The real reason for the odds Is the pres- ence in the As lineup of the 'bfg Grove and Earn shaw; Catcher Cochrane; First Baseman Foxx, and outfielder Sim mons.
 The "big five." regardless of the other members of the club, have enough strength and class to make the As the best bet in the field. These stars all are in their prime. their average age being less than thirty. Grove. in 1880, won 2S games, Earnshaw 22. Cochrane. un- ball and one of the outstanding backstops of all time, was well up among the leading hitters. while Simmons, in addition to being a superb fielder, led the league in batting. Foxx, improving daily as q fielder, is one of the strongest hitters in the league. So long as these men function the As will have to be rated with the best.
 Rockies Plentiful.
 The As are well supplied with replacements, both in the infield and outfield. Phil Todt, Frank Higgins. Bib Williams and Erirc McNair, are expected to understudy the infield. while Bob Johnson and Roger Cramer. both of Portland. Ore, like ly will act as emergency stops for the regular outhelders, Miller, Sim mons and Haas.
 The clubs enc big need is pitch CTS. Of thirteen rockies now in the Fort Myers training camp only two Lew krausse of Media high. and Hank Mcdonald, another Portland means that Grove and Earnshaw again must shoulder the pitching burden with help from Walber5, Mahaffey, Rommel and Shores.
 Back to Form.
 Mack is counting strongly upon Walberg. The left-hander was bad ly off form last year, winning but 13 games and losing an even dozen. but he has shown his old form this spring and is likely to win more than his share of games.
 If the Athletics win the champion ship 1t will mark the fourth time in the history of the American league that e team has won the pennant three years running. The Detroit Tigers won in 1907, '08 and '09, while the New York Yankees took the flag in '21. '22. '25. and in '26, ,27, and. '28.

If the New York board is suc- cessfu1 in attempts 10 force Berg and Canzoneri to break faith with Chi cago promoters and fight in New York, 1t is predicted that the N. B. A. will take relatitory action.
 Took It Easy
 The N. B. A. voted last September to bar any fighter participating in bouts in non-member states--nota- bly, New York, California and Penn sylvania, but the resolution was rescinded at the request of President John V. Clinnin, chairman of the Illinois commission, who favored more diplomatic methods of securing cooperation from states outside the association.
 However: 1t Is believed that an overt act such forcing boxers to break contracts and stealing c hampionship bout from a member state will force the ". B. A. to ac- cept the challenge and readopt the plan for war.
 New York had first call on Can- zonerts defense of his title, with the champion agreeing to meet Billy Petrolle at Madison Square garden. but the New York commission re- fused to approve the bout and sug- gested that Matchmaker Tom Me- Ardie secure Berg or Sammy Fuller of Boston as Canzoneris opponent.
 McArdie preferred to reserve the Berg bout for an outdoor show and as Fuller was unavailable he drop- ped negotiations. Canzonerf then agreed to terms with Chicago stadi- um to light Berg at Chicago and the western organization signed Berg for the match, to be staged April 24.
 Whats This?
 Announcement of the scheduling of the match at Chicago made 1t ap- pear all the more attractive and the athletic commission called the man. agers of Canzoneri and Berg to see if the match could not be saved for New York.
 The fighters are reported willing to ignore their Chicago contracts if satisfactory financial arrange ments are made and 1t Is probable that the bout will feature the May 1st charity shown sponsored by Sec retary of State Flynn for Bronx Cancer hospital--a promotion for which the commission always en- deavors to secure choice match.
 Big Business
 The final arrangements are the principal obstacle to the match Canzoneri is reported to desire 50 per cent for his services with Berg asking the 10 per cent promised him by Chicago promoters. New York commissioh rules restrict the cham pion to 37 1-2 per cent with 12 1-2 per cent to the challenger. The com mission Is reported as desiring Berg to accept per cent as his end in order that more funds can be raised for F1ynn's pet charity.
