Slated for Chief of Revenue Staff MACK SAYS HIS TEAM'S IN RACE By CONNIE MACK Manager of the Philadelphia Athletics. Don't be surprised if the Philadelphi Athletics win the American League pennant. It's an open race and we have as good a chance as any club in the league. The club disappointed me last year when I thought surely that we were going to do better. Gallway's slump last year hurt the club. If Galloway plays in the 1922 form I think we will win the pennant. Much depends on the new battery that we spent lot of money for. I have looked over Lefty Groves, the young Southpaw pitcher we secured from the Baltimore International League club and I feel sure that he will be a winner. I expect he to win at least 20 games and do the players. The team has fine spirit and that is necessary for a championship club.

Craig, Walter Ven, and Francis Keogh is exceptionally good for this class of plays and if you don't laugh it will be because you have a very sore lip. Old man blues will have to skiddo, as there will be no room at this popular playhouse for him and his grouches. Tonight is Ladies night and all the ladies of the city are to be admitted for half price 15 cents. The regular admission price will be adults all seats 20 cents, children 10 cents. Hats off to 'em—they deserve it! There's no doubt about it—a cigarette of Chesterfield's high quality deserves to be at the top. Chesterfield has won its present position because men know by its taste that here they deserve it! There’s no doubt about it—a cigarette of Chesterfield’s high quality deserves to be at the top.
