Manager Connie Mack sent a pair of untried pitchers against Manayunk in an exhibition today and nearly paid the price as the Athletics just managed to win, 9-8. Howard Wilson, a non-roster invitee to spring training made the start and gave up four runs over four innings of work while striking out four. Another non-roster pitcher, Carson Hodge, making his third appearance of the spring, went the rest of the way.
The team's exhibition against Villanova, scheduled for the 13th, was canceled for unspecified reasons
