OUTFIELD LOOKS GOOD TO MACK Athletics Manager Will Pick Fielders to Suit Pitching. By N EA Sen ice The Athletics made no mistake I when thev obtained Blng Mill r from j Washington in that t hiee-comor d deal Man for man. Miller means more to the Athletics than Lugan M. Gow an. a big. husky left-hand-j ed hitter, from Newark in tho International In-ternational league, nas already won a berth. He hit 30S last year. Also he Is very fast despite hi3! size. Mack's plan is to do a lo of shifting shift-ing In his outfield, sending right-hmded right-hmded hitters against left-handed plH hers and vice versa, SO five fly chasers are going to see considerable service. , Both Tilly Walker ami Frank Welch are more ambitious this spring than ever before. They know h have to step to hold tnelr places and they surprised Mack with their ambition am-bition this spring Walker won himself a wife last winter and means to be a regular. Hack had other plans in mind, but Walker has played SO hard this spring that he will start the race In left It looks as it Walker, Welch and McGowan will st irt the season In the outfield with Miller and Witt In reserve. Witt, always a 300 per cent hitter, must be carried. Hughes and Malone. the other rookies, show lotl Of promise, but are slightly . Lithe Li-the others in all-around qualifications qualifica-tions and they are probably destined des-tined for another season in the' minors.
