ter Of fact, TO equip six teams
The Johnson club, made up of men
whose birthdays are in the month
given over TO elections and turkeys,
would have the choice OF three lead
ers. either George Stalllngs, Clark
Griffith or George Stovall johnson
would have able assistants in the
pitching stan in the persons OF Bill
Eteen. Marty O'Toole and Joe Bush
and two Of the best pinch hitters in
the world in Jack Lelivelt and Ham
Hyatt, who would form two-thirds
OF its outneld.
THE Doyles, born in July, also could
make a choice OF managers. Joe
Tinker, Charley Herzog and Johnny
Evers having been born during that
month This team would have on It
Joe Jackson 10 hit, Bob Beseher to

Frank Chance would lead this team
which should have two consistent
