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.
