 Al second there is a blank. The best second baseman of the league. DeTill Pratt. has been sold. II may be possible that he will return next year, but it is d slim chance. as Pratt will make good ur above There can be little doubt on that point.
 Humpty McElveen is. reserved at short, and if he plays baseball next season :t will be in Montgomery. However Hump r. says he has given up baseball aRl wilt engage in the automobile business next season in lis home town in Tennes see but it is usually the ease that the next season. inds the baseball player back al the old stand. If Humpty comes back next year he will cover short and the position will be well taken care of. Ali third Captain Elwert will be the guardian. and no better guardian could be selected. Take Bill Elwert all around he is the hest third sacker in the busi- hess in this league
 Out in the field Daley will be missed. but Joey Bills. the great utility man, and Happy Smith. will pranee around in their usual places. The left garden will have tc he filled. and it will be one of the hard jobs for Manager Dobbs in the early days Of spring training.
