MACKMEN ARE ‘
IN BAD SHAPE
Thinks That His
Team Has Not Hit
It’s Stride
Two clubs of the American League
are rank early season disappoint-
ments. They are the Athletics. upon
whom Connie Mack spent $135,000
last winter and who apparently are
in the annual slump_ having
their fifth straight game on Satur-
day, and the Cleveland Indians who
have been a. failure in all of the
series played against the teams in
the Western end of the loop.
Connie Mack makes no bones of
the fact that his team has not de-
livered. He says he can not believe
that the new 'Mack machine has
been overrated, but the returns to
date have been very discouraging to
the tall mentor of the Quaker City
club.
Al Simmons. ovel whose prospects
Connie raved ever since he purchas-
ed this young minor league star. has
lived up to all the nice things said
about him and is batting fifth in the
American League, with the healthy
average of .386.
Paul Strand who broke fences
right and left on the Pacific coast
has not been able to smack the Am-
erican League pitchers. though he
has played very good ball in the
outfield.
The third member of the trio for
whom Connie gave up so much of
the Athletics treasury is Max Bishop.
The young man from Baltimore has
been out of the game most of the
season through illness. but. got. back
Saturday in time to get a. couple of
nice hits. Bishop looks to be the
best man for the second sack.
In discussing the blow up of the
team on Saturday. Connie is quoted
as follows:
"My baseball instincts tell me that
the Athletics have not been over-
rated. V‘e haven't played the kind
of baseball we should. but we have
a team and some of these days we'll
go ahead again.
“Just now Rommel is the only
pitcher who can win a game for us
and Iiauser. Simmons and Hale are
the only players who can hit.
"In the springtime heretofore
Miller and TVelch have been good
hitters. but can't sting the ball now.
Galloway is not going as well as he
should. either at the bat or in the
field. Dykes too could have hit bet-
ter than he has in the games ill
which he has appeared. In signing
up Amos Strunk I have a good left
handed pinch hitter. Strunk has a
lot of good baseball in him yet, and
had conditions been more congenial
in Chicago he would have shown it."
Observers in Cleveland are alihlng
the poor showing of the Indians with
tales of hard luck. As in all cases
of this kind. facts and figures in
support of this are readily furnished.
Stanley Coveleskie is a disappoint-
ment to Cleveland fans. The big:
spit baller is not showing the stuff
of which he is capable, and there
are many who believe he has passed
his peak.
George Uhle is bothered by a sore
arm suffered in spring series with
the Reds in Florida. Shaute is do-
ing pretty well on the mound as is
Jim Joe Edwards. 7
The Indians have shown a. power-
fUI punch. but can't bunch the wal-
lops. Latest averages show the
Cleveland team to be batting at a
.309 pace.

Rocco Gets
. Over Young Angel
STALII‘ORD, May 6.— weighed 133 and Area: .4.
“Young" Angelo of Stamford and
Johnny Rocco of New Rochelle. two
of the cleverest lightweights in this
section. had it out for the second
time at. the State Armory last night.
The New Rochelle flash was given
the referee‘s decision after ten
rounds of fast scrapping.
Both boys started with a rush at
the bell. and up to the sixth it look-
ed as if Angelo was having a shade
the better of the argument. In the
seventh Rocco opened a gash over
the Stamford boy's right eye. and
from then on used his left on the
wound with deadly effect. Rocco
used his peculiar style of fighting
for the most part. keeping his head
down and continually boring .in.‘ He
appeared too clever for Angelo. al-
though the scrap was a close one
all through.
Last night's victory makes the
second for Rocco over Angelo. as
the pair had donned the mitts last
night to settle matters after their
first meeting. which was fought sev-
eral months ago in the to armory
here. and which kept he fans in
an uproar throughout.
The fight didn't is: once during
the ten rounds; the desire of Angelo
to even matters and ”Rocco’s inten-
tion of keeping his clean slate over
Angelo causing_ both leather-push—
ers to battle at top speed. Rocco
