WeeGhman tonight.

Henretin Hospital, recovering from an
operation. Joe Tinker, who will pilot the
amalgamated Cubs and Whales, held a
long conference with Weeghman this

every effort to get Lee Magee from the

gave the Whales considerable trouble in
every game he played and Tinker IA de-
termined to land him. The lne-uD for
the regular positions that Tinker will
select will be something like this:
P1tchers-Brown, Hendrix, Vaughn,
McConneIl. Bailey. Lavender. Frender-
