President Robson did not take his Cleve-

After all the sensational talk about the
transfer of players. there will be very little
difference in the general makeup Of the
twelve clubs of the major league this year
from that of last season.
As is to be expected, here and there a
fresh face will be seen: while not wholly
new to the base ball enthusiasts, they will
make their initial appearance with this or
that particular team. For instance, Cor
