There will be two Southern League
stars fighting with O'Mara for his posi-
ton, and one of them will land II unless
Ollie can pull q great comeback. The
two youngsters are Rellley and Steven
son. The former knows more than
Stevenson and had the better record in
1915, but veteran players from the South
ern League declare the latter Is just
coming and will be at his best this year.
If both of these youngsters show we'll
and Getz and Mowrey do not play up to
the standard, 1t is possible Reilley may
be shifted to third base, which was his
original position. In any event, both
youngsters appear to be certain Of re-
naming in fast company.
; Manager Robinson is banking heavily
upon Johnston. Prior to joining the
White Sox Johnston had batted more
than 300 and stolen more than 100 bases
in the Pacific Coast League. Rowland
thought he had star. but Jimmy did not
get going right and was turned back to
Los Angeles. Back in the Pacific Coast
League, Johnston again played sensa-
tional ball.
He batted over 800 and stole close to
100 bases. Johnston had contended that
he did not report to the White Sox in
shape, and was not given n thorough trial.
Other major league managers evidently
thought the same thing, as five clubs
lTleu 10 johnston, Dut ne SlEneu
a Federal League contract
Never Played With Feds
Before he had jumped to the Feds John
ston had accepted the Brooklyn Clubs
offer for 1916, and one of the terms of
the peace agreement called for his return
to Brooklyn. He never played game in
the Federal League. Excellent judges of
talent declare that Johnston will be a star
in his second trial. and will bolster up
the weak spot in the Dodgers outfield.
The other positions are practically de-
cided upon before the team goes South,
and Manager Robinson is not banking
much upon any other recruits aside from
one pitcher although 1t is said that Stew
art, an outfielder from the Northwestern
League, may put a stiff fight for Stengels
job.
Jake Daubert will be on first, with Cut
shaw at second and both should be even
better than in the past ZaclS Wheat has
his position in left field clinched, while
Mccarthy and Miller will be regular
catchers regardless of what Myers does.
If the latter shows up well, it is possible
that Mack Wheat, a brother of Zack, may
be released.
