1t is not much wonder that the Batimores are
tailenders. They are managed on the two
wheel system" like lottery. The names Of
the players are put in one wheel and the names
of the positions in another. A blind boy draws
them from the wheels This drawing deter
mines the positions of the players for the next
game. It's great system. 1t was tried here
for awhile and the Nationals nearly joined the
Orioles. According TO thelatest drawing Shoch
will be moved back to short stop, and Hanlon,
Foreman or Gunson will play left field Han
lon says he expects to play left field in almost
every game on the trip. Hsnlon has concluded
that young McGraw, while earnest. cannot
cover enough ground at short.
