Mack’s Team With Peppery Coach Looks Like a Winner
KID GLEASON
TO PROVIDE
. "PUNCH”
Coach Inspires Players to
Battle —Mack Has
Fine Staff.
By WARREN BROWN
FnlverMl Service Staff < orrrepoedenl.
ORLANDO Fit. March 27.—The
t.»m that *ll rood enough to win a
pennant laat year and the year before
even though it won in neither year
ia good enough for Connie Mark to
■use in pursuit of Washington St.
Louia. Chicago Detroit and any other
American Teague clubs that might
have in mind netting the pace in 'he
1926 race.
Looking over the battle array of the
Athletics but two chsnges can be no-
ticed from last year. They are the
introduction of Bill Wambsganss at
second base and Joe Pate to the pitch-
ing staff.
There ia one other change tn the
Athletics' make-up but it ia a be-
hind-the-lineo change. Nevertbelesa it
is the one change. I believe which
will have ■ore to do with the ani-
mate success of the Athletics than
any added strength which may cone
from Wamby the cast-off. and Pate
rhe veteran of the Teiaa League.
This is the presence of William The
Kid Olcaeon as coach and assistant
manager. Many person* are of the
r opinion that William The Kid will
furnish the link which will connect up
the team that ought to win pennants
with the one that actually does win
them.
INSPIRES PLAYERS.
There is something about William
The Kid that inspires ball players
keeps them pepped up and hustling.
These qualities Were lacking in the
Athletics dur inf the important closing
' seeks of the last two campaigns.
Connie's chief problem I take it
coaters around first base. Joe Haus-
er and hie ailing knee are not pack-
ing any guarantee for endurance this
spring. It ia possible that the injury
.ill render Hauser as useless to the
Athletics this year as last when bis
absence from the line-up for the en-
tire season just about ruined what-
•••ver chance the elub had tor finish-
! tag first.
• Jim Poole the understudy of Haus-
8 1 er. played bang-up baseball most of
the way but folded up ia the streteh
J which was not so nice of him.
• Wamby the veteran appears to
V have the call over Max Bishop at
J second base at least for the early
weeks of the race.
a Clarence Galloway. at short and
• Jimmy Dykes at third are the other
regulars. Dykes has finally cbag cl
• Sammy Hale to the bench after a
• merry war laating over several sen
• sons Hale still carries the powerful
J punch however and will continue to
S be a factor in the race the Athletics
‘ make.
( The Athletics are well equipped
with gardeners who can perform all
< the chores in satisfactory style. La-
• mar Simmons and Miller. Welch end
J French are a nifty quintet. French
t the former football star develop'd
r pinch hitting ways last year that were
• the talk of the circuits It ia fm-
J probable that he will crowd out the
first three but he'll be around.
LOTS OF TALENT.
a Gordon Cochrane is the ranking
• catcher of his league and just the
• sort of person to get work out of
>"»e of Connie's curvers who are la-
• elided to wobble when the going gets
• rough. He ia a smart hitter too
The other catchers Ralph Perkins
• and Jamea Fox. are not the worst in
J the league by any means. Foxx. who
* spells his name with two “X’a” is a
rising young artist behind the log but
bell have to drop an "X."
' Bryan Harris is only one of a
sparkling corp of burlers that in-
cludes Ed Rommel. Sam Gray. Jack
ijuinn. George Walberg. Sian Baum-
gartner Fred Heimach Lefty
Groves and Joe Pate.
Any one of those i. a winner and
Groves the pitcher who is supposed
to have more stuff than Florida has
’ sand. seems bound to come through
sensationally one of these seasons
• Pate finally escaping from the Texae
League. where he was one of the pet
petual pennant-winning factors al
Fort Worth is counted upon as a
regular He is left-handed.
AH in all Connie Mack has a ball
' club. It would seem to be up to
the custodian of first base to Bill
Wambeganss and last but not least
to William. The Kid The Gleason V
determine whether it is a pennant
- winner or just a bail club.

SLATTERY TO CONFINE'
SCRAPS TO 'MIDDLES'
By SAM HALL
I niverMl Service Muff < •rrespendmt.
NEW YORK March 27—The thou-
sands who were no badly disappoint-
ed when Jimmy Slattery failed to bold
bis own with the heavier rougher
Young Stribling of Georgia will be
glad to learn that the Buffalo Irish-
man think be made considerable of
a comeback and soon may be seen in
a campaign for a world's champion-
ship in another class the middle-
weight.
The Buffalo people who advise Slat-
tery including Charles Murray and
Paul Carr want another crack at
Stribling which they probably will
not get. and in the event of a refusal
they aim to make a middleweight out
of him. That ia the class he belongs
in and has belonged in for the last
year. The weight of 160 pounds at 2
o'clock will not bother him for au-
other year.
The Slattery benchmen are no*
convinced that Jimmy has been flying
too high in tackling rough lignt-
heaviefs like Paul Berlenba< h and I
Stribling who beat him by simply 1
roughing him out of the party.
Slattery will do much better work-
ing bis way to a match with the win
ner of the Harry Grob-Tiger Flower
fight in May. A year from now b
may develop enough strength to get
back among the 175-poundero.

STITE LEAGUE
PLAN BEING
REVAMPED
AUSTIN. March 27.—A reorgini-
zation plan for tbe stdte 1926 inter-
scholastic football league designed Jiy
Roy Henderson league athletic direct-
or to supplant Ihe long drawn out
elimination system of previous seasons
has been forwarded by him to athletic
officials of all schools involved. Each
official is requested to forward sug-
gestions to league officials here.
The proposed plan would include
Dallas and Fort Worth in a single dis-
trict of conference A schools—those
with S<IO or more enrollment —for run-
ning off the league championship of
1926. The champion eleven of Fort
Worth schools would meet the Dallas
champion in an inter-city classic the
winner to be crowned champion of
district 3 one of tbe eight conference
A dhtricte.
REORGANIZE DISTRICTS.
Tbe proposal with respect to Dallas
and Fort Worth is a part of a scheme
that would reorganize districts 34
5 and 6—those embracing the thickly
populated districts of North Central
Texas.
District 4 would include Denton
Mineral Wells Weatherford Cleburne.
Waxahachie Hillsboro and Corsicana ;
district 5 Gainesville Denison. Sher-
man McKinney Greenville Paris and
Sulphur Springs; and district 6.
Athens. Jacksonville Palestine Luf-
kin. Tyler Marshall and Texarkana.
These suggestions equalize the num-
ber of conference A teams in three
districts and offer an opportunity for
arranging a round robin schedule in
each district which is the most satis-
factory method of deciding a cham-
pionship. Mr. Henderson said in his
communication to the high schools.
FAVORS BIG CITIES.
He said he regarded the arrange-
ment as one that ought to be desir-
able especially to Fort Worth and
Dallas because of its city champion-
ship feature and then the inter-city
clash which he regarded as snre to
grow into a great event.
Districts 12 7 and S of confer-
rnee A are already fixed. Some of
the schools of district 1 are: Amarillo
Plainview I.nbbock. Vernon Electra
Wichita Falls; of district 2. Abilene
Breckenridge Brownwood Cisco Co-
manche. Ranger Eastland. San An-
gelo; of district 7. Houston. Galves-
ton Orange. Port Arthur; of district
6. San Antonio. Austin Temple
Waco and Corpus Christi.
High schools of less than 300 en-
rollment will comprise conference B
comp Med of 16 districts. Elimination
in conference B will not proceed
further than bi-district championships
nnd s class B team may not compete
for the state championship unless it
elects to play solely against class A
opponents.
Mr. Henderson said the final foot-
ball plan of 1926 would be announced
early in April.
