...Harvard star twirler, Devens, has been performing such excellent work for the varsity this season, in centre field, and at bat, that he has given Coach Mitchell a tricky batting order problem. The big right-hander has moved into Captain Lupien's fourth place on the batting roster, and has kept himself from sinking back into the pitcher's traditional tail-end position by virtue of his fine hitting at critical moments. Devens is the Crimson first string twirler, and has therefore been saved for the heavier Saturday games in the past. Instead of sitting on the bench during...
...Mack"), the Athletics are handicapped by an injury to hardhitting Centre-fielder George William ("Mule") Haas. They still have a powerful offense, headed by Catcher Gordon Stanley ("Mickey") Cochrane, First-baseman James Emory ("Jimmy") Foxx, Outfielder Aloysius ("Al") Simmons, and the best pitching staff in either league. Best right-hander is George Livingston Earnshaw, Swarthmore graduate (1923). Best left-hander is Robert Moses Grove, who last week won his 30th victory of the season, an American League record. Pitcher Grove tied another American League record in mid-season by winning 16 games...

Pitching. When Connie Mack started the series with the Cubs last year he had three pitchers to choose from?the brilliant left-handers Grove and Walberg, and a right-hander as good as either of them. George Earnshaw. Craftily, Mack did not start with either Grove or Walberg, but began the series with his old spitballer Howard Ehmke. This year Walberg has not come up to his past standard and old Ehmke has been scouting instead of pitching. Manager Mack, sorely needing a good relief pitcher such as the Cards have in Rhem, Bell, Lindsey, Grabowski, is expected...
...southpaw Nekola, reputed to be the best pitcher in college circles with ten victories and no defeats to his credit, may start, but it is more probable that Hebert, a right hander, will try to repeat his feat of last week. The University mentor will place B. H. Ticknor '31 in the sinister garden regardless of Coach Barry's selection...
