vASHV1LLE, Jan Il.-4>o"' ei'i|9
n the proverbial oil has been ap-
,Iied to the troubled waters
. which the frai! bark containing
-, Vols 1914 hopes has been SAILING
,r;th some degree of uncertainty one
,l,,t at the outlook for the approach
NO season might serve TO at ieasl
aaSe the impatience OF the resulai
fan, r1;rs;o,z state
wont that he has sold MS snare ..
the stock in the local CLUB just apou'
means that Schwartz VIII again mai
nro Tho team. Although no ofhclal
announcement has been mace YET
fans are taking it as q certaihey 'na
90, Manager will again be in
our midst, on,,,ar
III his nlavers. and they all no doubt
u,o,,ld he very glad to work under
hin, If Is also known that the pres
o ,l,', directors are pleased with the
hustling manager.
THE receiving staff of the local
| snuad will be well taken care OF,
dasnite the fact that 1t has been eX-
Dected that there would be specia
weakness in this division, since Glopy
Gibson mas gone to big league yards
The Vols will have Red smith,
product of the Kitty League, on the
string as a starter. Reds only weak
ness is with the stick, and he is eX-
nected to overcome this fault to
great extent At any rate, ne looks
good and he is expected to prove
great help to the local hurlers. And
then there is a receiver from the 81.
Touis Browns who has been signed.
His name might be Rockybilt or As
torgie as far as we know. Wh1fe
playing with the Browns does not
lend to bring out all that is best in
ball player, it gives him feeling that
Il he had a chance he might do
something, and there's where the Vols
hope to land a good catcher. But
there1l be others later on.
EIRST of all, there's Heinie Berger,
L the big cause of a still bigger row
who will occupy the hill a portion of
the time for the Vols next season.
Heine is getting old, but the old Grip
pie usually manages to get away with
the decision, and believes he has many
more good games left In his wrinkled
whip. Leslie Johnson, and Sam Hen
Gee, the sensa TONS OF the Kitty
League last season. viii be given a |
tryout. ard from their records they
are going to be hard to beat out OF |
regular Job on the Vols firing line
This fellow Schwenk. from the
Browns, has good record, II RECORDS
count, and if he can stand the sunny
Southland he'll put back all we lost
in Kid Williams, George Beck, ct al. |
And still thereIl be others ere the
winter league has given way to the
1914 season.
A RITE Holman, who will probably !
a be signed within the next few
days. will occupy the first corner, and
IN case Clarence Kraft is secured, Il
is probable that the old kid will get
Z chance at some of the other inf1eld |
POSITIONS. Artie's record as a fence
buster is well known and the initial
cushion will be covered with about
as much brains and Drawn as ever
before.
JOHNNY LINDSAY, who has played !
! with the Vols so long that he feels
Ike he ought to be retired on pen |
sion about next season, will still do |
sthe Wagner stunt around the hall-
way position. Jawnny is always at |
the top in the fielding averages, and
as A rule manages to get just where |
hey hit 'em, which makes him eli |
sbe as a follower of the great eX-
ample that the still more renowned |
Honus has set for all perspirlng
youngsters
THE old keystone sack is still in
doubt, as there are two or three |
candidates for the job. youngster |
named Rust, from the Wilds of Ar
KANSAS, hopes to land regular berth !
81 the middle station, but he has TO |
reckon with a youngster named Pinch |
lcCabe, who halls from one of the |
Northern circuits. McCabe is an out
heder as well as an infielder and |
Tor the sack
JACK SPRATT will be the Vols |
third sacker. Jacques was with the |
.ocals about half the sea son last year, |
7ho came through with. all kinds of |
.lass, being speedy on the paths and
:. qouter Of considerable consistency.
laas, it'N be Jack on third next sea-
son
leit field We'll probably have one |
ar Al Shaw, who halls from |
oorg called Jersey City. Al will fill |
~ shoes Of Jim Daley, the Vols |
omedlan left gardener, and from all |
ports said number tens will be just |
aooul as full as voter on election !
