Yanks Lend American League in Newcomers for 1882; Athletics Are Going to Use Old Macline
By JOHN w. STAIR

Ct1lCAGO, Jan. 6.-The Phila- delphia Athletics may be badly in need of new blood, as many obser- vers claimed after the defeat of the veteran machine in the worlds series with the St. Louis Cardinals but from the list of rockies for the 1882 season compiled by the Ameri- can league, it appears Connie Mack isn't of that opinion.
 Though the Macks' present roster for the 1882 new season shows II new names, none of the newcomers figures to oust regular. On the other hand, the New York Yan- kees, the club Mack figures will give his American league champi- ons the toughest fight next year, will look over 9 men, several of whom are expected to see lot of action.
 The Detroit Tigers, with Bucky Harris trying desperately to find a combination of players capable of lifting the club from the second division stand next to the Yankees in the acquisition of new men in l the search for added strength. Twenty-two new-comes will answer the Tigers roll-call next spring. Other Line-ups St. Louis and Boston have only five and eight new men, while Cleveland has IT, Washington IA and Chicago 15.
 Material for bolstering a badly crumpled infield is available, on paper, for Manager Joe Mccarthy, of the Tanks. Jack Stalzgaver, rated the best infielder in the Am erican association with St. Paul last summer, is in line for Tony Lazzeri's second base job.
 Frank Crosetti from San Fran cisco is figured on to oust Joey Sewell from third, and Eddie Far rell, former University of Pennsyl- vania star, is being recalled from Los Angeles.
 Frank Nekola, who attended Holy Cross, is one of the most likely new hurlers of the crop of II the Yankees will look over.
 Promising Newcomers
 Three of Cleveland's most prom ising newcomers won their first fame on college diamonds, though they have been ripening in the minors since student days. They are Oral Hildebrand, lanky hurfer from Butler, who apprenticed with Indianapolis of the Association; Harry Herbert White of Sacra- mento, shortstop who got his start at the University of Washington, and Bruce Connatser, New Orleans first baseman and another of the slegions of stars the University of Alabama has sent to the big show. Are Ticketed s Out of Detroit's two dozen rock ies three have been ticketed as of special promise, and all three come to the Tigers from Beaumont of the Texas league.
 They are Isidore Goldstein, pitcher who got his start on the prep school diamonds of New York city; Joyner White, fast and hard hitting outfielder, and Whitlow Watt, pitcher who was out for sea- soning last summer.
 One of the brightest prospects to come out of the colleges is Marvin Olson, former Luther college De- corah, Ia) star who is slated to play second base for the Boston Red Sox after a season with Buff falo in the International.
 Chicago's White Sox hope Ralph Lief Erickson, a Southpaw who comes from the University of Idaho via Dallas, will live up to advance notices.
 Weaver On Slab
 Washington is figuring on Monte Weaver, ex-Baltimore and one time Emory and Henry college star, talk ing his regular turn on the slab in place of Bump Hadley, who was traded to the Sox.
 Two of St. Louis few additions are Louis America Polli, from Mil waukee, and Robert Cooney, from Wichita Falls, Tex, both pitchers.
