McInniS Is Admittedly Best.
It is a pretty hard matter to CLASSIFY

cause they are so peculiarly individual
in their work. OF course. the large ma
jority of fans will admit freely that
Stuffy McInnis still is the best of them

In the first place, Sisler l believe to be

was one. He can play any position and

certain; Sisler will not be shifting

unless crippling of the team cOmpels

most probably at first where he is
needed. I give Sisler many points Of
improvement because he Will work
under the master Of all managers.
Weakness in Boston Plain,
The Boston plan Of playing Hoblitzel
at first and switching to GainOr when
left handlers are pitching is not good.
It hurts the rest Of the infield to some
extent, and it helps the other team. 1t
does not make either man better first
baseman Besides that. Hoblitzel had
gone back n whole lot more than ! ok
pectcd before the worlds series last
fall. The combination hitting against
the kind of pitching they like holds
well up in the averages and is ire
mendous factor in the Boston team.

The White SoX are pinning hopes
