Hackmcn. ■ln a recent game with the BosH)n Red Sox the Athletics went into Hie sixth inning trailing 7-1, a Blighty tough handicap even though Baying against the tailenders. I At this stage of the losing battle Banager Mack began rushing in ids [HBserves any time it seenid there |as an advantage to.be gained by i substitution. At the finish of the contest he had u led twenty men and in so doing h id pullled a game out of the fire, winning 9-S. INFIELD COMBINATIONS r,l I second base Mack lias three I jflL I men. Eddie Collins. Max Bishop and Jimmy Dykes. [All are sure-enough big leaguers, [able to win a berth on any major league club. 1 For shortstop there is Joe Boley, also Cliick Galloway, who for years until tlie coming of the Baltimore star had held down that position. Jimmy Dykes plays third as well as second, and should anything happen to Sammy Hale, who has started jet that position, Dykes can step light into the picture and everything Kvill move along smoothly. At first base, Mack has Jim Poole and “Doc” Branorn, "with Jimmy Fox. substitute catcher, also able to perform most acceptably around the initial sack. No other club in the majors can offer such a variety of strength around the infield. IA fine assortment of right and left-handed batters is sprinkled around tlnwvarious infield combinations that Mack can put in the field. , OUTFIELD WELL PROTECTED The outfield positions are just as well protected as the infield. Mack kha3 a particular style outfielder for practically ,wy emergency that may Ipresent Itself. | ■He has started the season with Lamar in left, Simmons in center arid Coblj in right. It's a nighty hard combination to improve upon. However, should Mack desire a speed merchant at some critical stage of the game, lie has Walter French, I former West Point star, to fall back upon. French is one of the fastest men in the game. If a heavy hitting left-hander is desired, tfie veteran Zach Wheat is sitting on the bench awaiting the call of Connie. * Baric of the bat the Athletics two of the best catchers in the game in Cochrane and Perkins, whilfe Jimmy Fox is a great prospect.

CITY AMATEURS PLAY SECOND SERIES OF GAMES SATURDAY

FILIPINO VICTOR IN THRILLER \ Sarmiento and Moran Stage Furious Scrap in Legipn Main Go. . Pete Sarmiento, the clever and aggressive Filipino, was forced to uncork everything in stock at the Armory, Thursday night, when he, battled Midget Mike Moran of Pittsburgh in the ten-round main go of the Legion’s weekly boxing show. Pete won on points in a whirl of gloves that had the packed house dizzy with excitement. Moran met Sarmiento with blow for blow until the closing rounds when the lad froifi Manilla piled up enough points to Win. It was what the street boys call a “terrific japi.” Speed Galore There was very clinching, the bout started fast and kept going round after round, give and take, not an idle moment. In fact this scrap set- such a high standard in local fistic circles that boys in the future bouts will have to step lively to satisfy the customers. It was the boxing delight of the season at the Armory. Moran surprised many by hist fine condition and he gave his ‘all.” The midget Pittsburgher was exhausted at the finish, however, and Sarmiento was all over him during tlie tenth round. The Filipino still was throwing gloves and' going at top speed when the final bell sounded. The semi-windup and prelim"bouts were below standard. Morry Gransberg outpointed Chuck Feldman jn ten rounds of slow motion. Gransberg got out in front and seemed content to retain a lead without trying to flatten his opponent. It was short of aggressiveness. The referee Warned the boys several times, but apparently they had been “warned” on other occasions. Prelim Results Joe Dillon gained a slight* edge over Johnny Kloko in six rounds by virtue of a knockdown. Dillon looked bad winning. Ray Vanhook and Otto Atterson danced through six rounds with Atterson winning an edge. Many customers enjoyed this affair, but vet fistic followers decided it was more of an exhibition than a contest. Chuck Templeton scored a knockdown on Eddie Roberts and won by a shade in four rounds. / The prelims didn't matter after Sarmiento and Moran got into action in the wind-up struggle. They put the card over just right and the crowd went home very well pleased. Sully Montgomery and Joe Sekyra, will meet in next Thursday night's feature at the Armory.

SHOWING OF FAVORITES SCRAMBLES DERBY DOPE Some Race “Hounds’ Decide There’s No ‘Standout’ at This Time Among Classic Candidates.

By Jimmy Rogers V i:A Service M'ritrr LOUISVILLE. Ky„ May fi.—This Derby whirl is a gay one and a mad one all right. Here Scapa Flow and Rip Rap, the two colts who share favoritism with Osmand, go out at Havre de Grace and get trounced by A1 Weston's colt Jopagan. It was only the other day that brother scribes down in Maryland were sending out words to the effect that Jopagan assuredly would not do for the Preakness and as for the Derby, why the very idea! Springs Upset And then he made a monkey out of the boys by running off and hiding from the two big shots of the Derby future books. Scapa Flow lias this excuse: If. was his first start of the year and that lack of condition made him swerve under the whip when he was a furlong from home. Rip Ran has no alibi other than the fact that he stumbled slightly at the break. He had a*sound race under his belt two days before. Osmand. it is Ivhlßpered about now, displays a ’ot of speed in all his time trials but acts up* like a nonstayer He usually tails off after going a half mile. And that leaves everything up in thd air. No outstanding ponies but what are discredited in some way.

No head-and-shoulders favorite to stampede the fans. The race is wide open and it's one mad scramble. Two weeks ago a score of trainers believed they had Derby winners in their barns—but now many have changed their opinions. One after another, Derby candidates have run like platers. Excuses of all kinds have been offered for them but, if they were real Derby horses, no excuses ivould be necessary. They would run like Derby horses. And so, it seems, this chatter about the probable Derby winner is | bunk. It's all right for a fellow to take a chance and toss away a few smackers on his favorite. But how In the world is a person certain his horse is going to the post in that event? The favorite should be at least 20 to 1 in the winter books. NOT OR SALE Bu United Press OTTAWA. Canada.

‘TEA PARTY’ Says Rockne in Attack on New Rules. Bv United Press WASFNNGfON, May 6.- Football 0f*7940 will.be reported in-the society columns of newspapers instead of on sport pages if the present “devitalization” of the game by rule changes continues, Knute Rockne, famous Notre Dame coach, declares. Addressing a Georgetown University dinner gathering Thursday night, Rockne attacked the recent rules concerning the lateral pass and fumbled punt and said they tended to make of football a mere “tea party.” "Overemphasis” in football was emphasized by Rockne in a different way. “The present tendency in schools toward football,” he said, “is to bigger and better dances.” The coach gave a caustic word picture of a suppositious future football game robbed of action and initiative by modern rules. John T. McGovern of the Carnegie Athletic Foundation, seconded Rockrle, saying rule makers were “ruining the game.”
