SOA Will HAVE
STRONG SQUADS

Upon Old Men; Gandh
Joins White Sox

Honolulu baseball fans will be par
ticularly interested in the prospects
of the Boston Americans, worlds
champions, during the season Of 1917.
The fact that Harold Janyrin, who
played here recently, will be on the
team and, furthermore, the change in
management is certain to create new
interest in the Red Hose squad.
Jack Barry, who played on the same
team with Bill Carrigan at Holy Cross,
win handle the Hub contingent this
year and the fans will watch with in.
terest the showing made by the for.
mer shortstop of the 100000 Athletic
infield. Barry has always been a
popular player and furthermore is
known as an excellent field general.
viii Stand Pat
Barry is likely to sit tight on the
pitching staff this season as no stars
have come to the front. Shore, Ruth,
Foster, Leonard, Mays, Wyckoff,
Jones, Gregg and Pennock were all
with the team last season and the
Holy Cross man is. certain to bank
on these FINGERS again this year In
addition to Cady, Thomas and Agnew,
Boston will have Joe Devine and Fred
Wilder. Deyine was secured from
New Haven, while Wilder has been
playing in Massachusetts,. McCabe
and Tyson, who have tried out for
pitching jobs, win be given trial in
the training season.
Hoblitzel and Gamer will be on the
job once more at first base with no
n xlrk I, etc IIos. n
Jsnvrin has been playing at second
at Hot Springs and may start the sea-
son at his position with Scott at short,
although Barry is certain to be in the
lineup somewhere this year. Gardner
and McNally will handle third base
and the other utility job.
Hendriksen, Shorten, Walker and
Walsh. have been performing In the
outfield for the Sox, and with Hooper
and Lewis signed to contracts and al
ready in camp, there is little prospect
of any busher breaking into the out
field. Altogether Boston will stand
pat on the team for 1917, and with
tie same good pitching, the Red Hose
gentry are certain to make a grand
fight for the flag.
White sox Players
Several layers who have per-
formed in Honolulu will be seen in the
White Sox lineup this season and the
fans will naturally be watching the
work of the players. It is expected
that there VIII be al least two shifts
In the inffe1d and one in the outfield
before the season begins.
Pants" Rowland may thank Homo
lulu for the first sacker that will
take care o. throws this year. Lee
Fohl heard SC many good things about
Louie Guisto after tie trip of the
TO Honolulu that he de- !,
cided to let Gandil so to the White
Sox. Previous to this tour Foil in
tended giving Gandil the first chance
at the first base job.
Terry VS.. Risberg
Two players who have performed in
Honolulu will fight it out for the short
field berth tins season, and at pres.
ent "Swede' Risberg appears to have
the call over Zeb Terry. The former
played here with Venice, and the lat
ter with Stanford McMullin and !,
Hartford will also try out for the |
short stop job.
Gandil looks to have the best chance
for the job at first, but is not the |
best fielder in the business Eddie |
Collins and Euck Weaver have the !,
call at secoEd and third, while Jack
son and Felsch ought to einch two
outfield jobs. This will leave right |
field open to Liebold, Murphy, Haas
and Fourier. Eldred created SEN
sation with Seattle last year aud has
looked good In the training camp.
Speed Martin, Too
Speed Martin, who played here with
the Olympics; will be given trial by
the White Hose, and is expected to
be the only recruit who has chance
to make good With Benz, Cicotte,
Faber, Russell, Scott, Williams, Wolf
gang and Danforth, Rowland should
start the season with a good pitching
