Leonard from Denver.
McAleer Peers Into Future.
McAleer is looking farther into the
future than 1913. That is why he has
taken o nanother outfielder. two NOR
shortstops. and so many pitchers. He
has to count on the eventual retire.

All OF the new men purchased are

This roster gives McAleer thirty
three men from whom to choose his
pennant chasers Of 1913 with all OF
his regulars and substitutes now In
good condition, with years of baseball
ahead of them.
The purchase of two new shortstops
not only provides recruits who may
fill Wagner's shoes some day, but
youngsters who will fight Krug for the
privilege Of substituting for the Sox
captain. Walsh has been touted as an
exceptionally clever outfieider. and
will be given a trial.
