HAMILTON, B Z r VI L d A,

could be advanced in support of

ing me the first year Sweeney went
South with the Yanks. This may
prejudice me in his favor, but !
really do believe he is the greatest
catcher in the game today-or at
any rate the most valuable to his
club
Having Sweeney with US from the
start, and in perfect condition, is
going to make all the difference in
the world to us. We have A pitch
ing staff that is going to rank with
the best in either league, but It is
the sort of corps that requires
such catching as only Sweeney can
furnish. do not believe there is
another catcher in the country so
well qualified as Sweeney to han
die us this year.
I EW people realize just what it
means to catch the Yankee
pitchers. I don't know what the
final lineup is going to be, but
Just now five of our ten hurlers
are spitballers. and it is fairly
certain that at least three Of them

The Sox are anxious to obtain
Shotten and Pratt, of the Browns,
the former a clever outhelder and
the latter a second baseman. The
Sox are reported ready to offer Duffy
