First, We will endeavor to choose
the pitchers.
Logue is left handler with plenty
OF speed and variety Of curves. n.
fields his position we'll and keeps base
runners close to the bags. Stands
| -.
and is liable to break up most an!
game.
Smith comes second. He is a righ
handler with the speed of Waite
Johnson, has a powerful out shoot
He siso fields his position well an,
is fairly good at welding the vii
low.
Buchanan comes next in line, b
being a right handler with every pos
sible curve ball known; he also field
his position but is not so good a
the bat
Oat, a port slider, ranks next I
Buchanan in regards to a variety q
curves. He is a heady pitcher, cut
; ting the corners Of the plate and al
lowing men to hit him which hasten
a game and with proper support usu
ally is a winner. He. is very goo
with the willow and is fast ma
on bases
Last but not least comes Margar
Morgan has a crossfire and a sufl
/ cient amount of speed to make up 70
his lack of curves. He also is an eS
cellent fielder and usually hits at tn
most oportune moments; so muc
} for the pitchers.
In picking the catchers, Groves. {
Silverbrook, ranks first, having an e2
ceptionally good throwing arm an
Q does very we'll in holding up pitch
r er. Groves hits we'll and is a dar
gerous man in a close game. Wit
Groves catching, Smith should be HI
n battery mate.
Next to Groves comes tn vetera
= Kelley. Kelley knows the game froi
= A to q, throws well and is dangei
. GUS with the willow Kelley woul
j be effective with Logue as batter
a mate This battery would prove ver
dangerous.
e Horner ranks next: he is head
little catcher who knows the gam
e puts plenty of life into it and throw
I with great accuracy Oat and Bt
channon would prove most effectil
J. with Horner as battery mate.
OF the first basemen Pipino is th
!. shining light; he is a great defer
sive player. hits we'll and knows tt
/ inside game.
Next to Pipino comes Sawin. Saw
, fields his position we'll and is veI
dangerous with the wollow He
|. a hard man 70 pitch too and vei
rarely missed getting on the bags.
The best choice for second base
Weldin Weldin fields we'll. vel
|, rarely makes an error and is DANCE
GUS with the bat
l. Next with little choice between II
two comes Smith. Of Old Swede
! Smith fields his position Well. is fa
and is a sure hitter. bu. Weldin b;
little the best Of the argumel
+ when it comes to knowing the insiC
9 game. therefore place Weldin. {
n the first team and Smith on the SCI
II ond
y Cochran is by far the best shor
/, stop. Being fast fielder with goo
= arm and who usually hits at most VI
expected times.
Sieman. although playing secor
base. would make a good short sto
having an excellent knowledge of Il
game, good arm and hitting abb
A ity.
- Patterson is by far the best thii
haseman. He having an eXcellei
l. arm and plenty of speed with h
II throws. He is a fast fielder and
n very dangerous man when at ba
J. He also is a good base runner. ha
l. ing the fade-away slide down to
% science.
y Left field. Wilkins should pl;
i this garden He is 2 very speeC
man and accepts the most dificu
u chances with ease and accuracy. r
= is fairly good with the stick and
dangerous when on bases.
Riley comes next. but loses h
- position on the FIRST team because
n his loss Of temper and bone headf
playing.
Tuft should be placed in cente
field. He covers ground, is a go,
hitter and knows the game.
Patterson makes the third Of III
trio Of stars and is placed in rigl
: garden; he is a fast fielder and
, liable TO break up most any gan
u with the stick IN a pinch.
