( O'BRIEN EVANS PICKS YANKS TO MAKE TROUBLE FOR Mack May Be Heard From. Of one thing I am pretty certain as far as the American league ts concerned, and that le that the Athletic will not finish last. Connie Mack has clung to that position for years, while he has experimented In his efforts to build up a new team. I think Connie 1 beund to start on tha road to somewhere In 1921. MaiJt ha the nucleus of a great club. He ha a formidable pitching staff Few clnbe In the can boast of a belter one. He has aleague wonderful catcher lit Perkin. In Joe Dugan he has a brilliant third baseman. In Jimmy Dykes he has a second sacker who will hold his own with any and need bow Short and first only to Fiddle ColUna. base are the biggest problems for Connie. This chap Galloway has great possibilities- If he finds himself and last year his greatest fault was lack of confidence In hla ability Connie will more than make trouble. Griffin at first will field with the bept of them The outfield measures up to the American league standard. In Styles and Walker, Mack has two young backstops who are worthy assistants to Perkins.
