Philadelphia Athletics fans have long lived on their memories of Connie Mack's last great teams, the American League pennant winners of '29, '30 and '31. "Lefty" Grove and Righthander George Earnshaw pitched to Mickey Cochrane; Al Simmons ranged in left field, batted with his foot awkwardly in the bucket and was always over .300.

...from Philadelphia, was not so sure. He and his men lost two games in a row to the Athletics, generally dismantled last autumn because they failed to make money. For the Chicago White Sox, leaving Pasadena, Calif, last week, the major question was still whether George Earnshaw would be as effective as he used to be for Philadelphia. Apparent tail-ender in the American League, this year as last, are the St. Louis Browns. The Cleveland Indians, under Manager Walter Johnson, last week won two out of three games against Washington...
