ATHLETICS HAVE
FIRST DIVISION
CHANCE ATLAST
Following is the eighth in a
series on the prospects of the
major league baseball teamS.)
BY OSCAR FRALEY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 6.-(UP)-The
Philadelphia Athletics had prospects
today of turning from stumblebum
to star in one hectic year.
From eighth place to first place
is the dream of venerable Connie
Mack, their 82-year old pilot, and it
would seem like nightmare for a
club that has been in the second
division since 1894, finished last
in seven of the past ten years, and
last season tied an American league
record by losing 81 consecutive
games.
But, in q season in which every
team has been shaken by the draft
and players retiring to jobs in eS-
Sential industry, Mack has a COM
paratively strong squad, well sea-
Soned with veteran 4-F'S. And he's
higher on its chances than of any
club since his championship years
of 1929, 80 and 81.
Never since those golden days
has Connie felt strongly enough
about his chances to talk optimis-
tically, being content merely to
'hope for one more pennant." But
now he admits that this might be
the year."
Seven Pitchers
And, in comparison with the
other clubs, it might be. His pitch
ing staff shapes up as one of the
best in the league, with seven OK
perienced starters. Added strength
is found in Buck Newsom, obtained
from washington In a winter deal,
and Luke (Hot Potato) Hamlin, up
from Toronto in the International
league.
Newsom scored nine wins for
Brooklyn last season before being
traded and wound up the season
with a 1913 mark. Hamlin, who
picthed for Detroit, Brooklyn and
Pittsburgh, won 81 for Toronto in
1913. The AS also have hold-overs
in ATS Talmadge Alternately and
Russ Christopher and LAS Don
Black, Luman Harris and Jesse
Flores.
Four catchers are on hand, with
frankie Hayes and Bill Mills in
At, Hal Wagner in 2-B and Lou
Parisse the only la.
Joyner (Jo-Jo) White and Bob
Estalela are back in the outfield,
with Jo-Jo a 4-F and Estalella ex-
pecting a midsummer army call.
Two capable requirements, how
ever, are Bull Barge and Edward
Wheaton, minor leaguers from whom
Mack expects much. Then, too,
there Is veteran AL Simmons. "Old
Bucketfoot", the perennial young
ster, has made his usual spring
college try and will be available for
relief duty and pinch-hitting.
All in all, the AS shape up as
much stronger cub than in 1913
and against much weaker opposi-
ton. And even if they don't win
the pennant they should be a strong
challenger and a cinch to land
somewhere in the first division for
the first time In a decade.

Chase, not Rubber, was IS to S
pace-setter at the end Of the first
quarter, causing the "smart-money"
men who have cluttered up the
"Y" gym all season to stare at each
other, open-mouthed with amaze
ment. When Rubber cut the Chase
lead down to $500 at half time, all
hands favoring a U. S. Rubber VIC
tory breathed a bit easier; but they
were hardly prepared or expecting
a 16-point Chase drive in the third
quarter while the pre-game choice
scored but two.

game ended (51-35) deSpite a IS.

Bobby Rhoads; an outstanding

figures: Jackie Traver. IA points,
Bob McDermott, 13 points, Henry
Koch II points, Pete Pomuonio 8
points and Gene Sweenev S points.
Aside from Rhoads' IS markers,
scored 6-3-15; Lefty Farrar and
Don Gounnod Melted IA points be-
tween them, matched by one player
of the Chase team. Chef Wojack,

A Method In

By JOHN A. CLUNEY

OF course. it is very bad business
to jump at conclusions, as one il
liable to get HOITED, but the re-
cent sad showing of worlds feather

very clear to me as to why the New
Haven handlers of Julie Kogon were

would be a "a karat CINCH to take

II necessary.
Either the Kogon board Of man.
agerial strategy got pee at Pep
in training, or some very accurate
information that led them to be-
lieve Willie was anything but the
fighter he proved to be against
Sal Bartolo, present MIA champ,
whom he licked twice in Sails own
back yard Boston. Perhaps
the Kogonites reasoned that Julie,
who has been fighting in much
improved form of late, including a
fine showing at Madison Square
Garden was about ready to take"
heavy, out-of-condition Willie
Pep, and they were dead right, in
the light Of the sorry showing
Pep, a great little fighter, made
against a fair second rater who
has been in the U. S. less than
six months, and absorbed a thor
ough Shellacking at the hands Of
Mike Della of Los Angeles, no later
than Monday night, April third in
Holyoke, Mass. Pep outpointed
Leo Francis last Tuesday on his
left hand alone, but seemed Elk
HAUSTED at the end Of every
round from the third to the finish.
Francis, for no apparent reason,
except one of consideration for
his opponents well-being, DID
NOT THROW A PUNCH at Pep
III the first round, when the bout
began to look for all the world
like lone of those things. Yet,
the Negro came to life later on
with body attack which hurt
Pep so much, he seemed ready to
go down for O nine count. He did
go down once, but more from his
own attack than Francis punch
ing ability, for Willie was up in
a jiffy.
Old Sarge Eddie Mack Of Boston
and his partner, Jack Callahan
came down to sign Pep for a 5000
bout with Manuel Ortiz, world ban
tam champ; for Boston, June 10
but went home to Beantown, CON-
TRACTLESS as Pops manager ano
handler realized that Willie, who
has shed IS pounds (151 to 1879
in less than a month, will not be
ready for the hard-hitting Mexicano
for long time; granting that he is
able to make the FEATHER
WEIGHT limit (126), which seems
within reason at this time but his
STRENGTH was most conspicuous
by its absence.
Up to a month ago, no one could
get Kogon into a ring with Willie
Pep, though the bout would draw
$4,000 in either Hartford or New
Haven. Now Kogon wants to fight
him, because somebody found out,
even before last Tuesdays fight
with Francis that the Hartford boy
is far from the champ he was.
