HAFEY DEMANDS $4,000
To Quit Unless He Gets It, Card
Outfelder Declares.

BRADENTON. Fla. March IS GP)-
Chick Hafey's thriftiness today caused
Manager Gsbby Street to start a search
for capable left fielder with a punch
in his bat. Chick is demanding $4,000
for 1881. which President Sam Breadon
says is too much.
Hafey's friends say he has safety
deposit box which is far from sans
gilt-edged securities and that he is in
a position to enforce his demands or
quit base ball.
Right now Ernie Orsatti appears to
have the inside track for left field
should Hafey fail to come into the fold.

MACKS ARE WEAK
TRAINING CHAMPS
Showing Is Not SO Good in
Exhibitions-Yanks Move
at Fast Pace.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, March lS.-The
M Philadelphia Athletics may be
champions of the base ball
world during the regular sea-
son, but they're just cousins to other
clubs now playing the Grapefruit"
circuit in Florida, California and other
training camp States. There's just a
possibility that Connie Mack and his
title holders prefer to hold their fire
until it counts.
Be that as it may, the champions
have won only three games out of eight
IN the Spring training exhibition pro-
gram, and the American League might
well be in bad way in its competition
with the National were it not for the
New York Yankees.
Yanks Keep A. L. Up.
The Yankees have won six games out
of seven with National League opponents
and thus enable the American League
TO- show slight margin over the older
circuit in games played so far. The
actual count is nine victories for the
American against seven for the National.
The st. Louis Cardinals have helped the
Nationals cause by whipping the Ath-
letics three games out of four.
In games of all descriptions, whether
against major or minor league opposi-
ton, the Cleveland Indians set the pace
with five successive victories, all against
New Orleans Of the Southern Associa-
ton. The Pittsburgh Pirates have won
three straight and the Boston Red Sox
two in row.
The Boston Braves, perennial cham
pions Of the Grapefruit" league and
down among the tailenders in tbs regu-
lar season, have won only 4 games out
OF 10 this year, and their supporters
are taking heart accordingly. they're
hoping for victories in the regular Ma
tional League campaign.
How They Stand.
