Buck Weaver has come through

proud about Buck.
In nine years Bill Sweeney has hit
but six home runs-and he's pretty
good swatter, too.
San Francisco wants Harry krause.
It's all right to predict that Larry
Mclean will be a tower of strength
next season-as long as it's not a

Charlie Herzog is apother 300 hitter
sure next season. Yes; he's had his
tonsils removed.
Grover Galligan. the Cub bat boy,
who was made famous by Charles
Dryden. has jumped Chicago, and
will follow Chance to New York.
Does Frank Chance want to know
why he'll never get away from the
nickname "Yanks" until a shorter

''Yanks" fits into a congested head

Tom Hughes. who was the Tigers
