A vast majority of the great army of fans at large out- | side the major leagues seems to be all for the veteran Connie Mack. Baseball enthusiasts on trains, in friendly discussion at cigar stores and in locker rooms of golf clubs run largely to rooters for the Athletics. There are several reasons for the allegiance of the rank and file to the runner-up club. One is that every man’s hand but his own is against the winner, and the New York Yankees with their three pen- nants in a row and two routs of National League opposition have quali- ! fied as winners plus. Another urge to support the Athletics is the personal popularity of the veteran Mack. A more or less roving reporter who has talked baseball with hundreds of fans in a score of places since the last base- ball was hit in 1928, has never heard a voice raised in anger or criti- cism of “Mr. Mack,” as Ty Cobb always calls the tall tactician. The fans in the wide open spaces are now picking his team for Connie Mack and it will be interesting to see what he will do about it. He can not please all of them for there are two or three schools. ' There is a group openly in favor of Orwoll playing first with Foxx on third while another movement is centered on placing Foxx at first, Dykes at third and holding Orwoll in reserve as an outfielder with Hale claiming first call in the infield emergency forces. | ORI i CHARLEY GILBERT IN A TOUGH SPOT Many youngsters breaking into the major league throngs have their work cut out for them, but it is hard to picture a tougher assignment : than that faced by Charley Gelbert, who has been told that he is to ! play shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals. It would seem to be much more dificult to bear up under the strain of protecting a position than fighting for it, so the larruping hitter from Rochester may not fare so well as his mates who will have to fight for every inch they make in their climb to the top. y ESSEX CARS | seat equipped, thus carrying four with comfort.
