If we are fortunate enough to find couple of young pitchers among the men out there, we will be in the fight all the way. “I am placing confidence in the three young men we purchased from Oklahoma City, Al Benton, Vernon Kennedy and Harry Matuzak.

Occasionally Mack chimed in with some advice about how to hide the ball with the glove before delivery. “With these young pitchers,” Mack continued, “it’s a matter of confi- dence. They have great chances and great ability.” Would Mr. Mack name a few of his starting pitchers? The writer pro- duced a roster. “Well, you see we have only three men who were with us last year.
