He intimated that the A's would win the first game by a 4 to 1 count, provided Connie Mack followed the advice he wired him last night and started Rube Walberg on the mound. Otherwise Dr. Huey made it quite clear that he would be in no way responsible for the outcome of the opener and even hinted that he thought it would serve Connie right for trying to work on his own hook...

The portsider also pitched two innings against the Purple last Saturday, during which time no Holy Cross man completed the circuit. MacHale probably will be held in the relief role. The sorrel-topped righthander has improved steadily...
