According to a letter received Saturday
by President John I. Taylor of the Red
Sox, Bullet Jack" Thoney will be in con-
dition to play ball this coming season.
Thoney took the spring trip last year
but threw his arm out at Hot Springs
and was no good to the club after that.
He now assures President Taylor that
his shoulder is better and that he will be
able to make a great try for an outtield
berth While it will take lot of trying
on his part to oust Duffy Lewis from
left field, Manager DonoN an will welcome
him if for no other purpose than that he
will stimulate the competition for places
in the outheld. Thoneys speed Oh the
bases will be Il valuable asset for the
Red Sox if he is able to play ball.
