dubbed "Willie Keller Ganley. At first base
will be Nealon, probably the biggest ball player
in the National league. Nealon is only p years
old, but he is tremendous. Despite his great
height he is great fielder in his position, and
can hit the ball we'll above the 300 mark. Be-
hind the bat, Smith and Gibson are already
towers Of strength and Peitz, who has just re-
ported will have to look we'll to his laurels If he
hopes to keep his job

ically than he ever was, and what is more salts

lippi is also wonderfully improved in health
and Lever is due for new lease of life. Be
side this trio Clarke has eight more twirlers
here to choose from, and most Of these are tried
