Connie Mack's Men Likely to Maintain Cellar Position
Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, aged 13 year veterans and promising youth, face a tough AL season. Mack notes returning players and several prized prospects, especially half a dozen pitchers, but warns most youngsters are a year away. Club lacks a clear double play combo and has limited proven outfield depth, with Sam Chapman as a key bat and field man. George McQuinn and George Kell provide infield experience while Ben McCoy returns from Navy to reclaim second base. Ford Garrison and Joseph Gantenbein compete for roles as the lineup shapes up.
