Straightway he began anew his prowess of raking the brush for a new winning combination. At the time he said a period of two years would suffice to put him back in the race.. Recently he outlineq.his hopes for the coming season. Hg 'new out- fit as named in this statement wiil show one remnant in each of the four departments of play held over.from the old regim Wally Schang, Joe Bush, Stuffy McInnis ‘and . Amos Strunk are the four selected around which to build the new machine. If Mack decides to dispose of Bush and Schang his plans may not work out so well. Together with . Schang will be carried Myers and Picinich to /| bandle the work back of the plate. Joe Bush, Jack Nabors, Elmer Mey- ers and: Russell ':'bnnn; regarded as four pegul f ing staff. ther half ‘Bm b . For this infleld Mack will' retain Mclnnis at first, Grover at secand and Witt at short. Bates at third, will complete the inner defense. Stuffy, of course, is a known quantity. Witt played through last season. Grover and Bates are new hands though the former played awhile’ with the club last season. Bates is placed chiefly on his strong recommendation - as a minor leaguer, together with inside reports from Mack’s scouts.' . In the outfleld Strunk will be aided by Ping Bodie, of White Sox fame, and Frank Thrasher, a recruit from the Southern league. Mack believes that Bodie can deliver the goods de- spite his former failure with the Sox. Thrasher comes along with¥a record of never having hit below .300 in any league. He hit better than .300 for Atlanta last season. Phnto shows Connie' Mack. 0va"1°693 STEN:"HARRY LET'S Go o THINE T AN'T, RignT FOR You To.

The Harvard oarsmen, who were scheduled to start rowing at Lynn yesterday, were disappointed when a telephone message sent to Cambridge today. The reason for the delay was that when, about 1 o’clock today, Bill Haines, the professional coach, came down to lpunch the big float at the boathouse, he found that it had mnot been ' progerly made fast and had floated away. It took so long to get the float ‘back to the boathouse that Haines decided to wait until today be- fore putting the crew on the water.

The best golf was played by W. M. ‘Wiilliams, Montana. He came in with a 38, two strokes under that of P. H, B. Frelinghuysen of Morris County, the second best for this part of the Journey. ‘ Hugh L.
