Pitcher Herb Pennock as weak parts. Yet both rlayers declare their. wings to be ready for duty. The rest of the field in the Ameri- can league represents a wide variety of changes over last year, with the ex- ception .of the Athletics and Browns. Connie Mack has the same squad that rallied brilliantly to crowd the Yan- kees in the closing days of the 1928 race, and Dan Howley plans to use his 1928 lineup unless one of a pair of rookie third basemen beats Frank O'Rourke out of the third base post. There has been much more activity in the way of trades and purchases at Washington, Boston, Chicago, Cleve- land and Detroit. Washington has a new manager in Walter Johnson, a new third baseman in Buddy Myer, and also has Stuffy Stewart, formerly of Birmingham, at second base to re- place Bucky Harris. Cleveland Garden Strong Cleveland has concentrated on new outfield strength, buying Porter and Averill from the minors and getting Bib Falk by trade.
