The team can play bali. no mistake
Hal Chase found that out when his
men played the boston bunch in At

somewhere In Georgia. The Boston
boys Won the first session and the
second went eleven innings before the
New Workers got the lucky run that
brought victory.
II you will stop forgetting for a
moment you will remember that il is
thia self same company OF Highlaneers
who made a Holy Show or the Gin
cirnati Reds. and the Reds are In the
same league with Tenney's trumps.
They are a team OF fast youngsters
headed by resonrceful veteran who
knows the game and the other teams
and has the head to marshal his men
One little change In his team shows
the genius of Tenney, Sweeney play
ed shortstop last year under Fred
Lake and Herxog played second base.
Tenney had played with Herzoe and
he knew his capabilities. He switch
ed the German and the Irish lad
and the new combination Is working
nifty per cent. better.
Tcnney Plays FYrrs.
Tenney plays first base. he may
not be the speedy youngster he was
IN 1897 when he played on one OF the
Uraatest teams that ever wen a PEN
nant. but he hasn't forgotten how TO
play that bag.
It was Tenney who showed rising
young hrst basemen how to spoil the
hit and run. The hit to right never
found him up At the bag but waiting
for 1t twenty feet away. perhaps, and
Mr.. Baserunher was A. dead AZ King
0eoFga long before he reached Sec
ond. Meanwhile NJ. Tenney had
either gone to first for the second
put out or he let the pitcher take the
out on the return OF the ball from
the second bAseman.
Hal ChaSs may throw mere sem
aation into his plays but for all around
work Tsnney was Haas equal and ne
still can teach the majority OF young
men In either OF the big leagues how
10 play first base. and teach by ex-
simple. ct that.
A ralated. at second base is Mr..
Sweeney and at shortfield Is Herr
Hsrsog. At third base In Mr. Inger-
