Practically the same team, with
the exception of the Outfeld, first
base and one or two pitchers as that
which won in 1914 will take the field

With Long Tom Hughes just COM

as good as ever. The sOuthpaw. Ty-

again. this year, although Dick is

Davis, the nO-hit youth OF 1914. is
getting over his wildness. The best
looking rookie of the lot is Carroll
Crum, a sensation with Terre Haute

pitching staff.
Hank Gowdy, the Ianky hero of
1914, will lead the catchers, who
comprise TragessOr and Blackburn,
veterans, and Rice and McGraw, the
rookie receivers.
McGraw, by the way, comes from
