Experts and fans are asking themselves whether the master of strategy, Connie Mack, will rely on the great machine that won three American League pennants in a row, or whether he’ll dismantle it and introduce new blood. It is generally conceded that if Connie makes any changes in the team the four players above will bo involved. Bob McNair (top, center), a rookie third baseman. may replace the veteran Jimmy Dykes (left) iu that position. McNair has shown great form during training at St. Petersburg Another possibility is the substitution of Ed Coleman (lower, canter), who is also shining brilliantly in training, for Bing Miller (right) in right field. However, Connie Mack’s intentions will have to remain a matter of conjecture until the season opens. No team in history has ever won 4 straight pennants, but Connie has a knack of shattering precedent.

The return of the flier was linked with a visit of the seapLne at Cuttyhunk, Mass., yesterday morning. Occupants said they were looking for the yacht “Sallie.” They were believed to have established contact a few hours later with a yacht off Penikese Island. Residents said three of the men were middle-aged, and the fourth was younger. Charles D. Church, retired fisherman said the men talked with the commander of a coast guard boat in the harbor. He said they left shortly after noon and flew in a northerly direction. Over Penikese Island. Church said, the plane dropped within what might have been hailing distance of the yacht anchored off the island and appeared either to examine it or communicate with It. As Lindbergh returned to his esstate his car passed two automobile loads of newspaper men at the intersection of the Providence line road. The car stopped and Lindbergh was said to have called out: “Are you the police?" "No, we are the press," was the

response. "Is there any thing new,! colonel?" "Thank you." the flier said as he! drove on into the estate. All last night New Jersey sta e police repeatedly said neither Col. nor Mrs. Lindbergh had left the estate. The theory that the kidnapers took the baby aboard a craft of some kind and may be on the high seas or in some secluded inlet was given more credence by the con-1 tinned absence of John Hughes Cur-, tis. Norfolk ship builder, one of the three negotiators with the suppos-i ed kidnapers. Admiral Burrage and | Dean H. Dobson-Peacock, the othertwo negotiators, would give no light on Curtis' absence, or as to > his mission. Admiral Burrage left] his home last night after a telephone conference with reporters. In contrast to these facts was 1 Col. IL Norman Schwartzkopfs statement that "there is no proof to the report that there is a new | rum row angle in the investigation." The superintendent ot state i police stated here wis "nothing new in bis bulletins to the press. ] Schwarzkopf made no comment : upon the arrival of Maj. Charles N. Schoeffel. of his force, in Ixrndon yesterday. Schoeffel went to England to follow some leads with Scotland yard. Presumably he will I check more thoroughly concerning Betty Gow, the Lindbergh baby’s nurse. A rumor that two servants of the Lindbergh household had been arI rested led reporters to submit a ] question to Col. Schwartzkopf askI ing verification or denial. The | question was ignored. It was recalled that similar queries frequently have been ignored by state police. Hunterdon county officials at Flemington reported that no servants were under arrest in connection with the Lindbergh kidnaping. The nursery from which the baby was abducted is in Hunterdon county.
