THE WORLD OF SPORTS j Athletes are boh STRAIGHT Fill Ti CELLAR Dy H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 31. The Ath letics: the ' poor old down-trodden, derldod and ridiculed ' Athletics. They're bound straight for the cellar of the American leaguo this year. There isn't a chance that any other team will go down hill to such an extent that the Athletics will be able to save themselves. . At the opening of last season Con nie Mack trotted out an aggregation of youngsters, mixed in with older stars, who put up a fair brand of baseball. TJiey gave promise of rounding some day into shape to really play ball. In fact predictions were made that in 1918 Mack would hare a really creditable team to re gain the honors formerly hold by the great Athletics. , First came the army draft and en listments and they wrecked the first line defenses of the ounger players. Drafts and enlistments simply strip ped the youthful team of Its good material. Then the big crash came with the sale of players by Mack. He seemed to just pick out the very best he had In experienced ball play ers and slip them to his old rival Boston. What Mack will have on hand when the American league season opens is merely a conjecture. There will be a lot of young3ters, of course, He has several young pitchers who have shown fairly well, and he ias one good catcher in Pnt Haley. Aside from that thj Inner works Is shot. ' Ting Bodie will be in a class by himself In the outfield. There Is no speculation on whnt will hap pen this year to the Athletics. They will take the chutes as if they wore greased. Connie Mack has said that the critics may be mistaken in declaring him completely out of It so early, but there Is small chance that such is the case. CTUS CHANCES Allti ' DIFFICULT TO FIGURE . - . By II, C.' HAMILTON' (United 1'ioss Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. Jan. 31. Figuring where the Cubs stand just now Is like figuring on the sands on tho beach. Before another day ha pasced Charles Weeghman may have forced some more of his money on some poor brother magnate and other stars may be In tho fold at the North Side park In Chicago. As they stand now there Is no use picking tho Cubs to win a pon nant, for they don't line up as a pen nant machine. At least two Nation al league clubs are stronger, 6r just strong enough to keep tho Cuba from the top, e It has been statod often enough to mako. repetition practlcully futile that one star does not mako a base ball club. There are several indi cations that Grover Alexander cannot play baseball next year. Of courso, it he doesn't the standing of the Cubs is going to bo even poorer than now. His retention in the lineup rill bo an amazing help, of course, but ho will find it harder to win In Chicago than in Philadelphia, because the driving power docsn' lurk in the Cub bats that used to smash across runs for the Nebraska marvel in. Philadelphia, In Merkle, Kllduff, Hollocher and Deal the Cubs possess only a passing fair Infield, good at second baso, un tried at shortstop, fair at first base, and only fair at third base. Holl ocher may fill the hole at shortstop or he may not. If ho does the in field Will will need a first baseman and a third baseman. The outfield, composed of Paskert, Flack and Barber looks a lot better than most persons are willing to ad mit but it still ranks below other outer gardens lu tho National league. The pitching and catching staffs of the Cubs are superb. They will bo the force to carry tho club. . ' There Is Just one element in the Cubs' makeup that makes their out look rosier than the averages indi cate and that IS the canny manager ial ability of Fred Mitchell. The former coach of the Braves is cap able of teaching his men smart base ball. Ho showed It a year ago and he may have the ability to put it across in better fashion this year.
