ATHLETICS TO START SEASON WITH ALL-VETERAN LINEUP

12 Rookies Signed for Future Use Championship Combination Is Intact: Need Utility Outfielder. rdf tor* Note—The following ij the first of a series of article. disrussint the new players lathered bv the sixteen major learue elnbs. Today, the Philadelphia Athletics. .Saturday, the New \orlt Giants. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff C orrespondent NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—Twelve new players have been added to the world champion Philadelphia Athletics in preparation for the 1930 pennant race, but none of them may break into the regular lineup. Barring injuries and illness, the Athletics probably will begin the reason with practically the same group of players which won the American League flag by eighteen frames and crushed the Chicago Cubs in the world series. In acquiring new players, Connie Mack seems to be preparing for the lime when the veterans of his 1929 club will have to step aside rather than for the approaching season. Six Under 21 Six of the Athletics’ dozen newcomers are under 21. Os the entire group only one, Wally Schang, is a veteran. Schang, 39, comes back to the As from the St. Louis Browns in exchange for third baseman Sammy Hale. Schang is quite likely to replace Ralph Perkins as secondstring catcher. Mickey Cochrane again will do the bulk of the catch- j mg. Little change is expected of the 1 pitching staff. Bob Grove. George Earashaw and Rube Walberg will share the pitching burden, assisted by Bill Shores, Ed Rommel, Jack Quinn and Howard Ehmke. There are, however, three bright prospects among the six new pitcher: They are Leroy MahafTey from Portland, who had brief trials with Pittsburgh in 1926 and 1927; John McGrew from Omaha, and Glenn Liebhardt Jr., son of a former American T eague pitcher. The other three additions to the pitching staff are George Snyder, a youngster from Portland, Ore.; Allred Mahon, a young southpaw signed as a free agent, and Alfred Jones, a free agent who played with Martinburg, W. Va., last season. Eyes May Bother There is a possibility of some change in the Athletics’ infield if Max Bishop's eyes bother him or Joe Boley is not in tiptop physical shape, if these two veterans are well und sound the infield will again be composed of Foxx at first. Bishop at second, Boley at short and Dykes at third. If Bishop has to be replaced t>y v es may be shifted to second, Foxx from first to third, and am Keesey, a hard-hitting first baseman from Portland stationed at the initial sack. Keesey was voted the best first-sacker in the Pacific Coast League last year. He batted .346. Eric McNair, crack 20-year-old shortstop who came up from the Knoxville (Sally League) club, via Memphis, last season and broke into t. few games, is expected to be Boley's substitute. McNair batted .391. Other Y oungsters There are three other young infielders—Roger Cramer, who led the Blue Ridge League in batting last season with a mark of .383; Roy Tarr, who batted .320 for the

C. promoted the Thursday fisticuffs and announcement was made Cadle programs would be bimonthly. Chuck Wiggins was introduced as the main attraction Feb. 27, against a well-known heavyweight, and inquiry brought the info that Chuck's opponent likely would be George Cook, Australian battler, who has been in America the past two years. The town rivalry fight between Tracy Cox and Merle Alte, featherweights, topped the card at Cadle Thursday and it fell below ex- ( pectations for sustained action and ' went to Cox by a shade, according I to the way The Times scored the ! fracas.
