Athletics’ Pitchers i

Away To Slow Start

(Dy leek land)

CIIARWATIIR. 1"is., April 0- {AD-Connie Mack is mildly dis- mibed about the slow start of his

" Athletics‘ pitchers. with approaching. only Phil Marchildon of Penetsn- guighenc. Ont. has approached his 104‘! 191m-

'{Ou! Dltchink should be better than lest yes-r." said Mack. “but right now it isn't. Bill McCahan had trouble‘ with his arm. When he finally sot the right kind of a day for him he looked very bed against the St. Louis Cardinals.

nick Fowler, too, hasn't come along as fast as we hoped. "Everybody talks about our

pitching staff. I hope they are right. lbllows like McCahan. Fow- ler and Joe (loleman should be bet- ter with another year's experi- ence." -

slow start or no, most of the other clubs in the American lass,- gue would rush to Mack's door if they knew they could buy one of his regular- pitchers.

Mack figures on Marchildon. Toronto-born Fowler, McCahan and Coleman as starters with ca.) Scheib end Lou Brissie as possibil- ities. Bill Dietrich will be reserved for spot duty whenever his arm Is ready. And the bullpen will be manned by Bob Savage and Alex Keliner, a southpaw recruit from Birmingham where he won i1 games.

Duddy Roser is the no. 1 catcher, probable the best in thetleague.

Ibrris Fain, who reported this week after a series of knee oper- ations, wasted little time getting into action st first base. When he's ready for full time duty, Rudy York. picked up as a free agent, will be relegated to pinch hitting shores. Pete Suder at second. Ed- die Jooat at short and Hank Ma- ieskf at third, all holdovers, round out the infield.

Barney McCotey in left, Sam Chapman in centre and Elmer Valo in right is the first string outfield. 9

Roy Mills, Hunter River, is now the owner of Speedwell Guy.2.13, that Myron MacArthur brought down from Maine last fall. Roy is an expert at feeding horses and did such a good Job with King Grattan 2nd that he had winning brackets in two races and took a record of 2.21 2/5 trotting. King Grattan had been through various hands, some of them considered experts. but nary a win did they chalk up. Another horse that he helped markedly was the big roan pacer Jay Volo, and to show Roy's versatility he improved on Tut-tie d: Clark and the Copp Manufact- uring Cola knee boots design by an invention of his own. This is Just an instance of the care he takes with his charges and the thought and effort he puts into preparing for the fray.

Leafs And Red Wings Play Again Tonight

(By The Canadian Press)

TORONTO, April 9—Fres.h from rest cures at Hamilton and St. Catharines, Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs come back to Toronto tomorrow for their second clash in hockey's current world series.

The two clubs halve done little but rest since they left here late Wednesday night after the Leafs took a 5-3 verdict in the first game of the. best-of-seven series forthe Stanley Cup. The Red Wings had a light workout on the l-Iamiltoi! rink today. The Leafs loafed at St. Catharlnes.

The Leafs came back with rookie Phil Semis. hard-hitting Edmonton product, slated to take over the defence post left open when Gus Mortson fractured his leg during Wednesday night's opener.

The 20-year-old husky saw action briefly in one of the semi-final games against Boston-Bruins and showed great promise.

Managing director Conny Smythe said also that Les Costello, anoth- er rookie. will illl a regular spot on the forward line centred by Max Bentley. Defenceman wally Stanowski and forward Nick Metz will be held in reserve.

It shapes up as A. tough series. Smythe said in announcing that the two rookies who spent the iseason with Pittsburgh Hornets in the American Hockey League will see regular action;

“If we u ed Stanowskl and Met-s as regulars and if this series de- velops hard hitting—we think it wlll—then Wally and Nick would be worn out more quickly than the young fellows. Then if we had to use the young fellows in des- peration we would not know what we had- In this way we will have Stanowski and Metz in reserve in case any weaknesses develop."

There wasa possibility that the Red Wings might change their lineup. Rookie Rod Morrison was summoned from Detroit to Hamli- ton but coach Tommy Ivan said "whether he will flt in is some- thing we don't know yet.”
