SEATTLE LEACUERS WIN FROM COLLEGE TEAM
MAY SHOW FIGHT FILMS IN FORM OF ROMANCE
Here's the Team! Red SOX Are Best
Bet for Flag, Asserts Hugh Fullerton
BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON

Here Is the team
There is left among us one real
ball club and this Is II.
II has the best outfleld in the
world. II has the best pitching
staff OF the day. II has hitting
power. II has steady and expert.
enced catchers.
Besides that. Its nearest rivals
have gone back. and those that are
coming up have not yet reached
the top class.
The team II the Boston Red Sox.
II played the best ball Of any
team In the country after Il got
settled 10 its work last year. Its
manager gained year OF expert
ence and proved himself a stronger
leader than was believed.
Should Win Flag
Barring a run Of frightful luck
against II, the injury OF two or
three star regulars and one or two
pitchers at critical stages and 1t
should gallop home with the Amer
| lcan league DennauI
Let's look II over. II has not
| changed much. carrigsn has
little need Of recruits. He has
three worries: First, will
Heine Wagner come baek7
Second. will Joe Wood return
TO top forn7 Third. will Dick
Hoblitzeli play as he did last
fail, or as he did last spring?
Two OF these questions seem an
swered. | waited TO get straight
and AUTHENTIC reports on Wagner
and Hobby. Wagner seems to have
overcome his rheumatism, and IL
reported in great shape and going
magnificently. Hobby. according
TO reports, Is going great guns
again. and IL looks as II the slump
at Cincinnati that let him out OF
the National league was merely
temperamental.
Team In Good Shape
One need study the team only
briefly. Carrigan and Cady are ex-
perienced catchers. and better,
they are fitted we'll to their pitch
ers. Leonard need not live up to
HIS great performance OF last year
TO win for the team. With Leonx
ard going well. Wood back
shape. Ray Collins better than p
and inspired with hope of wo( h
series coin, the remaining pitchers
will not have TO do much. Carrigan
can use Foster less frequently and
make him more effective. Shore
is one OF the best corners in the
business and Bedient may be due
to Join the front ranks again.
That infieio looks like mill
lion dollars with HobiitxeIi and
Wagner In perfect shape. and.
II they are not. Carrisan Is re-
n1arkabIy we'll fortified with
Del Galner to play first In case
OF accident and Bill Sweeney
likely TO come back.
There lis scarcely n flaw in tbs
ball club. 1t looks as II only acci-
dents can beat IL.
