As Due 10 Land
In Fourth Spot,
Simmons Feels
Coach Sees Hitting
As Good, Pitching
Better Than in al
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb. g.
The Philadelphia Athletics, who
wound up last season in eighth, will
finish the coming season in fourth
place if they get the breaks and mo
worse than fifth, no matter what
happens"
That's the starry-eyed prediction
of Al Simmons, "Old oBucketfoot,"
who now is a coach for Connie Mack
Simons' optimism wasn't shaken
by the fact that the Athletics lost
their brightest star, Outfielder Sam
Chapman. and their regular second
baseman, Benny Mccoy, to the Army
and Navy.
Optimistic Over Hitting.
1--WE hit only point less than the
Yankees last season." he explained,
"and we lost lot of games that a
little better pitching might have
won. I think our hitting will be as
good and our pitching better this
year.
Naturally. losing Chapman is
going to hurt plenty. He hit 1922
and drove in 106 runs last year. And
Mccoy was coming along fast and
should have had a big year. But
we've still got pretty fair outfield
with Bob johnson. Dee Miles and
Mike Kreevich and this young fellow
Crash Davis is a good looking
second baseman.
Kreevich, obtained in a midwinter
trade from the Chicago White Sox,
is one of Simmons "ifs." along with
First Baseman Dick Siebert and the
clubs pitching.
"Siebert." declared Al. SIS great.
He's much underrated first base
man who fields brilliantly and hits
hard, too"
AS for the AS pitching, Simmons
tabled the prospects mighty
bright"
Likes Hurler Marchildon.
He predicted big things for Phil
Marchildon, the young Canadian
who won II games for the AS as
freshman last year.
HE was a little wild and lacked
experience, but he learned a lot
last year and ought to win Is games
for us this season" AL declared,
Jack Knott should be good for II
to Is wins. too"
He spoke highly of Jack Hallett,
a big right -hander who came to the
AS in the Kreevich deal.
He also said Russ Wolff, 28-
year-old recruit from Williamsport !;
Fred Caliguiri and Dick Fowler, a
trio of rookie right-handers, "look
like pitchers who'll make the grade
this season"

feats. Central, if it doesn't top
Roosevelt tomorrow, also will be
listed at 4 and 3 and included in

Central will be in the championship

Main business on tomorrow's pro-
