it is probable that the team Will line

with veterans In their old places.
There doubtless will be few changes
but for the most part the team will
closely resemble the team of the past
few seasons.
In all probability "Jiggs Donohue
will be back on first, with Isbell COW
ering second base in place of George
Davis. Davis couldn't cover much
ground last season. The number OF
base hits that whizzed past him-and
the kind he used used to simply eat
up-was something awful. There was
hole around second base that dozens

and knock down base hits than Davis
could and just that much farther
