Athletic over first base now that Jimmy By SID FEDER PHILADELPHIA, March 14—If ’yuu’re looking for the big league question mark for 1935 consider the Athletics. It's not so much that Jimmy { Foxx, Pinky Higgins and & number |of other ranking veterans will be éback. but that the squad includes {10 rookies—10 performers brand |new to the hig time—at least three of whom arz sialed for varsity ss- signments. Speculation (doesn’t center 52 from first base to catch as on the chances of a yoRngster by the name of Alex Hooks—an absolute fresh- man who is taking over first base. Then, too, although there are six holdover hurlers, interest is di- rected at two slab rookies — Char- lie Leiber and Joe Caster, from Ithe Pacific Coast leagie—both list- {ed for starting berths. | Also although four outficlders |of 1934 are back, the outer garden jobs are wide open, and young Wally Moses from Vidalia, Ga., has !a good chance to grab a first- string berth. Connie Is Confident Climaxing all these factors, there |is the element of Connie Mack— master magician who has reached once again into his amazing hat {and come up with a club that locks snappy and young on paper— a club he feels is headed places. of rse, it's the rookies—what theyll do, how they’ll stand the big league bombardment — who probably will make or break the A’s this season. That much is in the cards. The sale of Mickey Cochrane to Detroit back in December of 1933 indirectly was responsible for Hook’s chance, since Mack has had to call cn Foxx in an effort to plug the the behind-the-bat weakmess re- sulting from Mickey's departure. Scout Ira Thomas found Hooks, a |left-handed cix-foot husky gradu- |ated from Louisiana State univer- sity, raising plenty of dust in the Texas league. Mack expects great things of Hooks. Not only did he bat 350 last | year, but he shapes up as a re- markable defensive performer. If bhe produces, the infield problem is solved with the flashy Higgins at third, and Rabbit Warstler and Eric McNair combining capably around the keystone. Big, Young Right Handers Connie’s banking on two most promising rookie hurlers— Caster and Leiber. Coming to the A’'s in the last draft, the right-hander Leiber has 2 1934 record of 16 wins in 20 starts. Both_he and Castor, right hander purchased from Portland, are over 185 pounds. ¥ Two other virtual newcomers— Ll TELL HIM YOou SAY --- POQOR SNUFFY- THEY GOT MIS BACK TO THE WALL - - - HE, AIN'T GOT A CHANCE - - T Raseball Just Question Mark for 1935 Two youngs'ers en whom Connie Mack is counting to make his a centender this season are Alex Hooks, slated to take Foxx has donned mask and pad, and Joe Caster, husky right-handér from Portland. / !Blll Tom Benneit, Texas collegian, and Vernon Wilshire, each of whom saw little action with the A’s late in 1934, also supplement the six veterans, while Jimmy Foxx's 17- year-old brother, Sammy, is get- ting a tryout. Pre-season dope has it that Doc Cramer, Bob Johnson, the veteran Ed Coleman and Lou Finney, all holdovers, will get the first out- field call, but Wally Moses; 24-year- old left-hander from Galveston, will have his chance. 5NUF=Y‘5 PLUMB MIST' GOOGLE -~ By BILLIE DE BECK ~ RE OUI' THEM THAR DESKV‘“VENOO AGENTS wuwz BODAC OUSLY SNOOPIN' 'ROUND AN' SNUFFY WHIPRED UP HIS SHOOTIN' A'RI EZ YE PLE DOUGLAS NEWS D.
