»N TOO MERY. Ala.
April 3.—< onnle Mack
thinks the league nen
nant race this season
will lie more full of '
thrills than in years,
and expects his Ath
letics to make all
teams show real cause
before they are beaten.
"As I see it. the season will be an
<j>en one. but with the Yankees h*v
1 il’.g cn edge." he said. "One has to
figure the Yanks as having an edge
1 with all their stars ami a strong
pitching staff. But they are not go
ing to have the easy time they had
,, last season.
"It seras to me from observations
* and what I have heard, most of the
1 i tubs are 30 per cent stronger. There
' is really no club that can be called
a. cellar outfit. The Red Sox have
. 'ifieen patching up remarkably well.
J and should show a lot of stuff.
* "If George Sisler is able to play
jjr the Browns as of old, the dub
rjill have to be considered a strong
<»nc. If he cannot, it will have to
lie rated down two notches or so in
strength.
Games To Tell
r» •
"T believe the Yankees, Indians.
T>i* ?rs, ourselves and the Browns
* should make a great fight of it. No
dub can take the field and figure to
„ have anything sewed up. The story
i_411st be told in the games."
He expressed the belief the clout
ing Indians, in particular, should
' jpess the Yanks for the pennant, if
they get pitching, and that in case
* «iiie Yankees or the Indians falter,
'some other club, playing at its best.
y would have a good chance to slip
4 In for the flag.
Connie's smile Is a, tip off on how
” tic feels about bis club. Last season
« tlie Athletics started out splendidly,
hut they did not have the punch.
Connie then decided to go after the
punch, and he seems to have got it.
A! Simmons and Paul Strand, ob
■ tained for a "punch," are punching,
notably the former.
Mack wm fulsome In his praise of
' Simmons for his long hitting, ground
^ covering, speed and throwing.
“ ^timtnons will be In left. Btrand In
• enter, and Welch or Miller, boih
* good men. in right.
Bishop or Dykes
Second Baseman Max Bishop, from
Baltimore, is expected to punch also.
^ hitting .333 in the International
league. Bijt he may have a fight to
hold it against Jimmy Dykes, who
seems better in pivoting plays snd
* who la bitting like a fool, n new habit.
- Wavier will be at first, Galloway st
* «hort and Hale at third, a mighty
fine array.
Eddie Rnmmels' knuckle ball is
working fine. The veterans, Naylor,
■' Harris and Ilasty are expected to
* come through. Hopes are also held,
because of experience last year for
f Rube Walberg, Wgrren Ogden and
Fred Heimaeh.
To mention Cy Perkins is enough
* regarding catching. lie will have as
assistants the veteran Frank Rruggy
and probably Charley Gibson, an
Alabama Poly youngster.
Paul Jones to
Compete at Drake
Dcs Moine*. Ta., April ",—Paul W.
Jones of De Pauw university, who
will bo entered in the high jump,
> road jump and pole vault at the
loth annual Drake university relay
meet, April 15-26, is expected to be
meet, April 25-16, is expected to Vie
imp of the real stars of the forthcom
ing western track and field classic.
Jones established his claim to
recognition when he won first place
in the all-around championship
against a great field of contestants
at the recent Illinois indoor meet.
I , Ilia gre&tcst performance in this
event was his high jumping. Al
though he had never Jumped more
Ilian five feet 10 Inches before, he
cleared the bar at six feet two inches
at the Illinois meet, and narrowly
{pissed a try at six feet three inches.
Veterun coaches who watched his
jumping, declare Jones will develop
Into one of the best high jumpers In
the United Stales, despite his lack of
size. He has a terrible spring and
uses the famous Osborn roll.
Jones also made impressive show
ings 1n the 75-yard dash, where he
won Ills heat in the all around cham
pionship, and ho gave a fine per
formance also In the pole vault and
broad jump.
If he continues his excellent work
during the outdoor senson, Jones
should be one of the most likely can
dldates for the pentathlon event in
i he Olympic games this summer.
Ills admirers predict -tones will he
able to finish among the prize-win
ners In the three events ho will
inter ut the Drake relay meet.

Harry Wills Will Probably Call
Off Bouts With South Americans;
Doctors Order Fighter to Rest
Report Has It That ^ ills
Hatul. Broken in Training
Last Winter; Has Not
Set Properly.
EW YORK'. April
3.—Although duly
signed to get hia
first real action
since his knock
out of Fred Ful
t o n four long
years apo, it is.
reported that all
is not well with
Harry Wills, the
celebrated study
in sepia tints.
The story is that
Wills' trick hand
is in such condi
tion that he may
be prevented
from taking on Erminio Spalla, Ro
mero Rojas or Firpo the furious, ac
cording to contract, to say nothing
whatever of Jack Dempsey. Wills is
on ihe shelf and may stay there, they
say.
He has been ordered by bis phy
sician to forego his plan to indulge
ill light training and will not hr
allowed to put on a glove until May,
if then. This fact would seem to
lend substance to the charge that
Wills’ hand, broken in training last
winter, has not set properly and
may require so much attention ns
to prevent the tall, dark man front
showing at all during the outdoor
season.
The trouble with Wills Is that he
lias to hang some 215 pounds of
punching power on the hands of a
lady. It is nothing new that one of
them has become so badly smashed
that lie had to retire for the winter,
and even now must remain Idle with
a series of remunerative engagements
staring him in the face.
His bout with Bartley Madden, for
example, has been postponed so many
times that expert accountants became
hysterical.
The last time Wills appeared at
the Harden he made one of his bad
fights and was incapacitated for
months. He stepped out with one
Clem Johnson, colored and clumsy,
and it wasn't until the 12th round
tluit Clem was constrained to play
dead. Wills’ hands were the answer.
They- smashed up on liim along
i about the second round and there
I after he couldn't punch hard
enough to make a fedora out of a
brown derhy.
These hands constitute one of the
reasons that so many people believe
Dempsey will win In a round or two
should the pair ever meet. It is hard
ly credible 'that Wills could land on
the champion's adamant pan and not
find the hand that struck the blow
hiding somewhere behind his elbow.

N. Y. YANKEES MIGHTY GOOD
BALL CLUB-LINEUP OF CHAMPS
WILL BE SAME AS ONE IN SERIES
Scribe Says It Will Take a Crackin’ Good Ball Team to
Route Miller Huggins and His Crew Out of First Place
in American League Race This Coming Season.
COLUMBUS, Ga , April 3.
^ —Dimunitlve Miller
Huggins will I«ad
his world's cham
r pions into the base
- . . m - - - -LUk
ball fray wmcn
opens a fortnight
hence, and from the
looks of things it is
going to take a whole
lot of shooting to
keep the Yankees
from riding the pin
nacle through April
down into late September.
The Yankees are a mighty good ball
club and there’s no reason to believe
the team will slide hack any in the
next campaign, it Is a strong, vet
eran outfit.
Everett Scott, veteran shortstop,
looks Just as natural as ever this
spring and shows no signs of slip
ping.
Catcher Wally Scliang was a crip
ple much of the 1913 campaign and
isn’t himself yet by long odds,
but he will be in there when the
warm weather romrs.
The Yankee lineup in the opening
game will be just the same as It was
in the last series tilt, barring the
pitchers.
There is much speculation about
Combs, highly touted association out
fielder.
Combs is a mighty good ball player
and will be In there some day, but
he hasn't quite the stuff to chase
Whltey Witt off the peak this spring.
Whitey is one of the very best lead
off men.
Ruth and Meusel will hold down
the other pasture berths.
The Babe is hilling in liis own
way now, and playing as much base
ball as anybody In the south.
Tipp, Ward, Scott and Dugan are 1
a companionship Infield quartet.
While Srhang is out Hoffman and
Hengough ran prdvide Huggins
with plenty of ratching. and the
rluh will probably carry along
Autrry, a recruit.
Huggins has plenty of substitute
material for both Infield and outfield,
ind he still can boast the best pitch
ng staff in the game. Jones, Bush,
shawl^y, Hoyt and Pennock should
win a pennant for any kind of a hall
[earn.
Pipgras. fJaston and Itoettger are
bree youthful pitchers who will take
i lot of train rides with the Yankees
his summer, and any one of them is
ikely to leap Into national fame.
The Yankees hate very good spirit
ior a championship club and have had
ill salary difficulties adjusted beau
tifully. So they will he loaded for
•ear when the gong clatters.

WALKER WILL
BE LOST NOW
JACK IS DEAD
Mickey Walker will be a lost lad
indeed without Jack Bulger, his
manager, who died in Newark on
Tuesday. Bulger picked on Walker
when the Kereighead boy was a
rollicking leader of a gang of
boys. He told Mickey he would
make a champion out of him with
in a year. As a fact, 18 months
saw Walker a world's titleholder.
Mickey is heartbroken about the
untimely death of his manager,
who was a friend as well. Some of
the finest friendships that exist in
the world are to be found existing
between a fighter and his man
ager, as Paddy Mullins and llarry
Wills, Tommy Gibbons and Eddie
Kane, Jack Dempsey and Kearns,
Kenny ld>onard and Billy Gibson.
And none of these was closer than
the Bulger-Wail:»r combination..
