| PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 90 Ths
philadelphia Athletics have two an
lnounced holdouts, but sfrewd Con-
Inie Mack quietly has signed the real
strength of his 1948 team-the bat
Iterymen.
Mack, now vacationing in Florida,
has through his long baseball career
always declared, "Give me the
pitchers and f'll give you winning
team"
Philadelphia fans-still somewhat
taken back by last years surprise
flfth-pla finish-are keenly antic-
lipating the coming season. for the
Athletics have pitchers. g.
just look at them:

and Dick Fowler; young Carl

terday from his winter home in PEN
tanguishene, Ontario. Earl Mack,
assistant manager, refused to reveal
the terms of the Canadians con-
tract, but said he had been granted
sizable increase in salary. He said
Marchildon expressed pleasure with
the figure and voiced certainty he
was ready for great season.
The comeback of Marchildon has
been a great personal thrill for
Connie and a personal tribute to the
canny Canuck. Both the elderly
Mack and the pitcher were worried
shout his rejuvenation as a top
fight pitcher after his trying years
as prisoner in a German war
camp. He had parachuted into
enemy hands while flying for the
Royal Canadian Air Force.
His first season back in the Amer
lean League, Phil won 13 and lost
16 and was unimpressiye. In fact,
Connie Mack gave him an "if" con-
tract for 1947. If he won, a salary
adjustment would be made.
Marchildon did come back and
Mack did make a midseason ad-
justment in his salary. And now
he's counted on to head the best
mound corps the Athletics have had
since the winning years of
1929, 80 and 81.
McCahan Promising.
The most promising youngster on
the AS staff is McCahan. the right
handler from Duke University who
last season pitched to only % men
and walked none on September 3
as he won a 3-to-0 no-hitter over
Washington.
Another reason Mack is not too
worried about the announced hold
out tactics of First Baseman Ferris
Fain and Outfielder Elmer Valo is
the signed contract of Warren
Buddy Rosar, believed by most
experts to be the best catcher in
the junior circuit. Second string
Catcher Mike Guerra also is among
the Is already in the 1948 fold.
Earl Mack pointed out the name
of pink-cheeked kid by the name
of Lefty Lou Brisse. @
Pop says he'll be another Lefty
Grove and pop will take care Of
