RED sox HANDICAPPED.
Smoky Joe Wood Out of the Game Until May-chieaso and Detroit Look Good.

With three star players recovering from illness, the Boston Red Sox will be handicapped during the opening stages of tho pennant race. Iris Speaker has been suffering from a cold since his return from the world tour. He will probably be able to start the season, however. Recovering from an operation for appendicitic, Joe Wood will not able to pitch until aft ter May l. Captain Wagner. the shot stop, has been unable to take part in spring practice because of rheumatism and will not get into the game for two or three weeks.
 Notwithstanding these set-backs in development. Manager Carrigan ex- poets the Red Sox to finish well with in the first division. With the con- valescentS in playing form. the team will be substantially that which won the worlds championship two years ago, and will have reserve strength in the addition of substitutes of high rank.
 Opening the season. Everett Scott. perhaps the most promising recruit in the American league. will play at short in pltce of Wagner Engle, at first Yerkes at second. and Gardner at third, will be in their old posi- tions.
 The outfeld composed of Speaker, Hooper and Lewis should be one of
 
 sen and Rehg as substitutes, illness of ono or two members will not seriously affect the teams efficiency.
 Manager Carrigan will head the same veteran catching staff of four, including Cady. Thomas and Nuna- maker. Four veteran pitchers remain besides Wood. Collins, Bedient, Leon- ard end Tester, with Johnson, form erly of Syracuse, Kelly, of last years Seattle team, and Zeiser, of Lowell, as candidates for permanent pitching DO . sitions.
 Chicago.
 If the White Sox have added bit of batting power and a little more speed on the baselines, they are like ly to prove factors in the race. Even without the return to old time form by Ed. Walsh, the pitching staff is one reckoned on to damage batting av- erages, with Russell. Scott. Cicotte Benz. Lathrop and Roth in shape Ray Schalk is expected to do most of the catching Tor Manager Callahan, as he did last year. but the back stop de- partment has been materially strength ened. it is believed. by the addition of Daly, whose good hitting is an addi- tioEal factor that makes him valua- ble.
 Detroit
 For the first time ill four years the Detroit Tigers will open the Ameri- can League playing season without big George Mul1in on the pitching

petroi. Defeated St. Louis.

St. Louis, Mo-. April 22-Detroit de- feated the local Americans today, 4 to g. AftersSt. Louis had scored two runs in the opening inning on a single by Austin, Pratt's two base hit and a sacrifice fly by Gus Williams the De- troit players made five hits off Harnil- ton in the third, which netted them three runs. With Kavanaugh on first, Cobb singled. Crawford also singled, scoring Kavanaugh and sending Cobb to third. Veach's double drove in both Cobb and Crawford. Burns also singl- ed. On an attempted double steal Veach was out at the plate.
 In the fifth inning Cobb was passed and Crawford singled to center. On Shetten's throw in, Pratt fumbled and Cobb raced home with the visitors last tally. Score;

 Cleveland.
 The Cleveland Americans, finishing third in last years league race, hope to do as well in 1914, but the teams future is problematica1.
 Pitcher Fred Falkenburg, star right handler last year, has jumped to the Federal league. One of three young sterS, Hagerman, from the Pacific Coast league, Collamore, from the American association, and Bowman, from the Central league, must be de- veloped to take his place. Pitchers Fred Blanding and George Kahler. al-. so right handlers, jumped to the Fed< erals and tl,en back to Cleveland. Tho courts may enjoin them from playing with Cleveland.
 If Blanding and Kahler are lost to the F'ederals. and none of the young sters show big league class, Manager Birmingham will have a weak pitch ing staff. In addition to the young- sters named above he will have Cul< Top and James, experiments last year, to help out Gregg, Mitchell and Steen. Gregg and Mitchell are star left handlers, and Steen is a good right handler, but it is generally agreed thar they cannot pilot the team to a high position without aid
 outside or the Dox. the team IS practically the same as last year. Shortstop Chapman. because of a
 broken leg, will not be ablt to play before June, but Infielder Olson will fill his place acceptab1y. Youngsters who are expected to stick with the team are Woods. infielder.

 Barring the unexpected, the opening game will find Cobb, Crawford, 1 and Veach in their regular positions.

Danny Murphy Has a Superstition.

The sunperstitions of a ball player has long been subject for newspaper stories. Some players even go as far as to insist that they be allowed to keep the same numbered berth in the sleeper the whole season. They figure that it will change their luck if they should ever retire to another coach. For example, take the case of Danny Murphy, the ex-Athletic outfelder. While a member of the worlds cham pions. ''Murph" occupied berth No. 2 on every Pullman in which the team travelled. On Saturday night when the sBrookfeds were leaving Pittsburgh for Baltimore. Danny found that he had been assigned to lower g. Immediately he thought of those two hits he got in the City of Darkness that day, and feared that another would not leave his trusty bat the entire year were he to remain in his new number. Ac- cordingly he sought out the man who was in his favorite bunk and request ed the change. The other player was willing, the change was made, and Connie Mack's ex-righthand man slept like the proverbial log"

Foster Asks Bonus,

The Bridgeport management is diclering for an outfielder. Bultes tried to get Pop Foster. recently re- leased from New Haven. Foster, who is assistant physical director at Mer- cersburg academy, wrote that he can not report until June S, and he also wants a bonus for signing. Bridge port can hardly wait until then to get hitting strength. Manager Boui+es is still keeping the wires busy and hopes to land a. clouter in a few days. He wilt also get another player from Montreal if the Canadians secure a big league player upon whom they have been counting.
