Show CONNIE MACK WILL HAVE GREAT TEAM "If we arc going to win the pennant pen-nant next year, and mark me I don't say we shall, it's Philadelphia we've got to beat," says.Mlko Ka-hoo, Ka-hoo, the Washington Nationals' prize scout. 'T expect Connie Mack will have a better club than lie had even when he was winning world's championship honors. Indoed nothing but the absolute ab-solute failure of. Bender to show form threw tho Athletics out of first placo lost year. The team could have won tho flag without Danny Murphy, had Dender been In form. "Connie has picked up two wonderfully wonder-fully promising j-oungsters in Jimmy Walsh and ?:ddlo Murphy. Murphy proved himself to be a fine little leadoff man Inst year, and he gets manv a hit In the pinches. "Walsh did not look quite the hitter hit-ter Murphy is, but ho is a far better fieldor, on his showing last season. If Walsh picks up a little with the bat, Mack should have a sweet little lit-tle outfield, in Walsh, Strunk and Murphy. "Amos Strunk is the best young ball player in either big league today, to-day, and It will not be long before this is thought by all who have a chance to play. He Is lightning fast in tho field and on the bases and hit for 2S9 last season. This Is by no means poor work with the stick, either" |
