Few New Men. Are Selected By Athletics BY LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sports Editor) New York. April 12 — (CP) Connie Ma< k Is taking beloved athletics into the 19lx American league pennant race with only seven new players on the dnb which finished a surprise fifth last season. Aiming for the first division berth, the slender. 85-year old A'a leader decided to go along fur the most part with veterans. As a result he did he spring house-clean-ing eaily and when he sold relief pitcher Boss Christopher to the Cleveland Indians 10 days ago he brought his club roster down to the player limit of 25 a deadline the teams do not have to reach until May 20. He will carry nine pitchers, three catchers, five outfielders and eight infielders. The number of infielders he retained is significant It speaks louder than wortH of the department which may keep the A's from attaining that first division goal Mack is sure his outfield, catching and pitching — the latter pr<e mixes to be the strong point — will measure up. but he. too. has grave doubt as to whether he will be able to put a capable infield in action from the material he has at hand. only two of the infield positions are set slick fielding, but light hitting Eddie J<M*«t at short and Hank Majeski at third. Joost hit only .2ot> last year, but he did tighten up the Philadelphia de sense. Majeski was a 280 hitter. Ferris Fain, whose 291 mark as a freshman led the A's infielders in hitting last season, will take over first base when his knee Is wound, again, but until then it will be Rudy York, who still is not in shape, or George Bink:), who also plays the outfield At second, it looks like Peter Suder. who lacks speed, will get the call over Skeeter Webb and that is the spot which may prove Hie most vulnerable in the Philadelphia setup Both have been found wanting before and there is a reason to believe that they won't fall short of the mark again. Os the eight Infielders Mack kept counting Binks as an outfielder four are newcomers. York and Webb were discarded by other clubs and picked up by the As and there are two promising tookles Mickey Hutner, who hit 327 witn Birmingham last season and William Demars, a .328 hitter with Asheville. The other players new to the A's are Don White, the outfielder drafted from San Fran< laco where he hit .292 last year and two pitchers. i-ou Biissle and Alex Kellner White will be utility outfielder along with Binks. The tegular gardners will tie Elmer Vaio in right. Barney McCosky in center and Sam Chapman in left. Brissle. who won 23 games with Savannah last year, will lie a regular starter with Phil Marchildon. Bill inohit) McCahan. Bob Savage Dick Fowler and Carl Schleb. Ba< k of them will be Bill Dietrich. Kel ler. an 11-game winner with Birmingham last season and Joe Cole man. Rounding out the squad of 25 are the three catchers — Buddy I Rosar, the No. 1 man. with Mike Guerra and Herman Franks to help him out.
