Connie Mack Faces Pitching Crisis With A's
White-haired Connie Mack, in training with the Philadelphia Athletics in Wilmington, worries that roster limits leave only three returning pitchers. With Phil Marchildron in the Army and Fowler and Besso gone, seven-man staff looks thin. Recruits fill the rest, including Wolff, Christopher, and Harris, while infield options falter with rookie Vail at short and Mayo at third. Mack adjusts positions as Hall shifts to shortstop and Suter to second.
