If Cissell hits and Mostil brings) his fancy outfielding back with) him, the team will furnish spirited | opposition. Good pitching is seem-) ingly assured the Hose. Ted Lyons and Alphonse Thomas take their places in any compiled} array of the best pitchers in the! league and Ted Blankenship, who suffered @ poor season last year, has shown an indicated return to form this spring. Lyons had a record in 1927 more than 150 points better: than the winning percentage of his club. Thomas appeared at the training camp with a better fast ball than he has had before. George | Connally may be expected to turn in some victories and the veteran Urban Faber can stem the tide on} occasion, Charlie Barnabe may have to give way to a recruit. Man of Meny Talents Roy Wilson, a lefthander from} San Antonio in the Texas League,} has shown promise and Willie; Goodell, coming from independent | baseball at Tulsa, Okla., without! minor league experience, may jump from the lots to the majors without | a stop along the route. Goodell is! not only a pitcher of parts but is @ musician and cartoonist. His! harmonica and pencil will not help; him land a place with the White} Sox but they will not hurt him in; his quest. Al Williamson, who pitched for Shreveport in the Texas Teague, seems to have an excellent, chance to stick with Chicago. Manager Ray Schalk, who caught only 16 games last year, will be! more active in the approaching sca-| son. <-me of the catching will be done by Morr:s Berg, who played| the infield until he suddenly found) that he was a catcher. Harry Mc-! Curdy and Claude Crouse will com-; plete the catching staff. | Changes in Infield Johnny Clancy has returned to! Ay ope cael es Kamm el again play third. Changes have} been made in the middle of the in-| field. Cissell, who has been assigned | to short, brought a great record with him from Portland and _ his} early exhibits of his wares have impressed Manager Schalk and Coach Lena Blackburn. He has shown that he can field and throw. Bill Hunnefield has been moved) from short to second. He will be the regular of the bar. ‘Two former Texas league infielders, | Redfern and Johnny Mann, will be retained as reserve forces. | The club will retain six outfield-| ers.

While under the tutelage of Coach Schulte, Locke lowered the furlong record and made serious thrusts at the century mark. His time for the furlong was 20.5 sec- onds and he ran the 100 yards sev-| eral times at 9.6 seconds. At the Drake relays in 1926 he stepped the 100 yards in 9.5 seconds, but that time failed to gain official recogni- tion owing to the fact that a light wind was at his back. Chief Elkins, the Iroquois Indian athlete, leaped into the lime light last summer when he captured the A. A, U. decathlon championship. Wirsig, Missouri Valley confer-! ence pole vaulting champion, now is a lieutenant in the marines, and is keeping up his training with the Olympics in mind. His best height was 13 feet 4 inches. Rev. Alva S.,Martin, national half mile champion, has been mentioned as another likely Netraska candi-| date for the American track tam. Howevver, he is a missionary in South America and it is not known whether he will try for the team. He is a former captain of the Northwestern University _ track team, but lived at Nebraska City.

The call of the ring is difficult to resist, especially if it happens to echo to a half-million dollar tune. “When it’s in a fellow’s blood, how is he going to quit?” remarked 40- year-old Ty Cobb as he donned his uniform for another season with the Athletics. Fighting is in Dempsey’s blood and always has been. At 32 he is still young enough to be in the thick of the fray. Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jefferies were nearer to 40 when they quit. Affection Plays Part Cobb's return to the game this spring also is dhe in large measure, he admits, to affection for the vet- see pilot of the Athletics, Connie lack. “Remember that day last winter in Philadelphia when I had a talk with Connie Mack about playing?” Cobb recalled in a recent interview. “Well I decided then and there I was through, but my heart was in the game. I felt I was getting old. It was hard to feel that way, hard to know that I was through. “I remember now standing in that room after it was all ended. denly the phone and id: ‘It 's Connie Mack, tell him I'll play for nothing.’” This alliance of Cobb and Mack is a big contrast to the days of old when Ty, as Detroit’s big star, was continually a thorn in the side of the Athletics, a fiery figure who needed police protection occasional- ly when he came to Philadelphia. “In those days we played Cobb, rather than the Tigers, Mack once LITTLE JOIE RAY STAGES COMEBACK Flares to Greatness Again by) Winning Two Races in Cen- tral A.
