.' Frequently Connie Mack aprlngs the unexpected. It Is doubtful' that the,
tall tactician ever pulled a bigger surprise, however, than when he selected
Bobby Roth, obtained from Cleveland, as captain of the Athletics this season.
Both has been notorious as an umpire baiter and frequently gets into difficul
ties with fellow players and managers, but he Is the combative type Mack
'admires. Already Kotlt has Inserted fighting 'spirit Into the Mackmen as
well as a robust punclj In the attack. It looks like a great season for the
Athletics and a great one for Roth.

QUIT TELEGRAPHING
Kid Gleason says George
Uhle, the semi-pro star who Is
trying to win a berth with the
Cleveland Indians, may make a
great pitcher when he quits
telegraphing to the batter what
he Is going to throw. Gleason
says Dick Kerr had the same
fault when he Joined the White
Sox In the training camp, and
the Kid had a serious talk with
Kerr about It.
"You throw your fast ono
with a side arm motion, your
curve with an overhand throw,"
Gleason said to Kerr. "You
can't get by that way."
"I got by all right In the
Southern and American Associ
ation," replied Kerr.
"That may be so but you will
never get by In this leoguo If
you don't stop telegraphing,"
retorted Gleason and he set out
to show Kerr how to turn the
trick.'
