MACK SEES MATS
NEAR TOP;CALLS
.YANKS GREATEST
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, May IA 0N.S).
In Connie Mack's little book, the
Yankees are the one team with
out a single weakness.
They've got everything, en-
Unused the venerable leader Of the
Athletics today as he sketchily out
lined his views on the American
League race.
"Great pitching, terrific hit
ting, tight defense. speed, ex-
perience and brains. They've
got a stand-out man at every
position. How can anyone beat
a team like that?
TEAMS STRONGER
However" cautioned the
septuagenarian, please don't
get the idea that they will make
a runaway race this time. Far
from it. This is going to be the
tightest race we've had in years
because all the teams except the
Tigers and White Sox have
added considerable strength"
Connie hastily ran through the
league setup for us:
"Now, take the Indians.
They're much better than they
were. They're really huStling.
They've got fine pitching and
good power. But their infield
play is a little loose.
However, I think that young
fellow Keltner at third base is
the finest youngster to come up
since Joe DiMaggio. He seems
to have everything. I like par.
ticularly well the way he comes
in for a slow.hit ball and gets
it away fast while moving at
top speed. That shows class.
CALLS MATS GOOD"
1.-THE Tigers? They need
pitching right now. It's too
bad, too, because they have q
world of power and If Mickey
Cochrane can get any pitching,
they'll be up there. Schoolboy
Rowe looked good in spots
against us. His high hard one
was fast as ever but when he
tried to get the same ball low
he seemed to lose his speed"
Connie thinks more of the Sena.
tors than some of the other man.
ayers.
They're a good team" he
said, "and I expect to see them
stay up around the top all year.
Their pitching isn't as weak as
some would have you believe.
Its too bad that injuries
have disrupted the White Sox.
I looked for great things from
them this year but they have
lost too much to get into the
fight.
FOXX AND SOX
1.-THE Red Sox? Now, there's
a grand team. Foxx is going to
have big year and that Grove
why, say, he's a better pitcher
now than when I had him.
And would you believe it, he's
come up with a wonderful curve
this year? Another strange
thing is that when he wants to
cut loose, he's just as fast as he
ever was. If you doubt this,
just ask any of the hitters who
have to face him in the clutch"
The Browns and his own Ath.
letics, he dismissed with a wave
of the hand. Were both
stronger, of course" he smiled,
"but there's no use kidding our.

 And while Kinks was standing over this gentleman superintend- ing the preparation of the sign, a two-man conference was going on in the First National Bank of Win stock, Connecticut.
 MT. Spencer Ames was a griz- zled individual of 60-odd, with pale, cold eyes. He had a thick body, huge shoulders and neck which bulged around his collar in a role of red flesh. But his obesity was mere camouflage for mind as sharp as whip. Spencer Ames never missed trick.
 
 He was looking across his desk now, searching the countenance of his son, Wilton.
 Whats all this that's going on at the Preston placer" he inquired
 Wilton shrugged. He was a thick set young man who, as yet, had not taken On his fathers corpulence. But he had the same cold eyes, colored a light blue. His hair was straight and brownish, parted carefully in the middle.

 Then you don't keep your ears open" said his father sharply. Its all over the village that the Pennington girl has taken in boarders."
 Wilton sat up in his chair. "Boarders?"
 Spencer Ames nodded.
 "Old Gale Kenworthy,' he said, talks too much. Always did. And that Clipstack woman that works down at Preston's is an inveterate gossip. Well, it seems she talked to Giles the grocer, yesterday af- ternoon and who old Kenworthy talked to, I wouldn't know. But what they said got back to me. And" he chuckled I'm very glad of it. want to keep informed about what goes on at the Preston place"
 Well, what was it they said?' Wilton asked.
 Spencer Ames lit a cigar
 Here are the facts," he said. That nephew of Mrs. Preston s, who inherited a half interest in her estate, finally showed up yes terday. He and the Pennington girl called on Kenworthy. Just what was said over there, I don't know. But by nightfall there were two other people at the Preston house and the Clipstack woman told Giles that they're going to board there. Who they are or where they came from, haven't any idea. But well, what do you make of it. Wilton?"
 Wilton looked blank. Nothing It doesn't mean a thing to me-"
 "It ought to-" said his father half-jocularly. Tt ought to upset you, even. I thought you were sweet on the Pennington girl"
 Wilton began dimly to see day. light.
 "You-you mean" he ejaculated, that this nephew of Mrs. Pres tons is going to board there, too?'
 Spencer nodded. So I am given to understand"
 Well" said Wilton, starting to his feet, I'm going down there and find out about this"
