With twenty-one players under con-
tract, the Grinmen will be enabled to
carry four outfelders, four inielders,
three cstchers, ten pitchers and Nick
Altrock. With the comedian. who
nils a real place on the club, the
Griffs are reduced actually to twenty
players. 1t is more than likely. too.
that Manager Griffith will carry FIVE
outhelders and five infielders. keeping
only eight pitchers. His difficulty
will be TO choose among his big
bunch.
Too Many Gardeners.
For one thing, Griff will have too
many outfielders. once he gets back
his lads from the army. zeb Milan,
Bert Shotton and Frank Schultz
played the positions last year. with
assistance from Hank Shanks. but
next spring Griff will also have Hor-
ace Milan, Sam Rice and Mike Me-
nosky, provided they are mustered
out in time. He will have to pick
and choose.
And for the infeId he'll have Joe
Judge, Ed Charity, Joe Leonard,
Billy Murray. Eddie Foster, Johnny
Lavan (Jnless he goes through with
his navy stuff, George Mcbride, Ray
Morgan, Carl Sawyer. and Ray
Morgan. That makes ten inhelders
for FIVE jobs. More cutting, though
1: won't be so tough, as Mcbride,
Sawyer. Charity and Murray don't
really belong.
Ainsmith. Casey and Picinich are
cA,chers. Charity is supposed to be
one. though his weak wing has kept
him from much work. Casey Is too
slow for big league catG hing. Thus
only Atnsmith and Picinich remain.
A Mob Of TwiTIerH.
Grih has a mob of twiriers. Walter
Johnson. Harry Harper. and Jim
Shaw are certain of holding their
jobs. The others will have TO take
part In the big scramble.
Doc Ayers, Ed Hovlik. Roy Hansen.
Molly Craft, Adrian Lynch. Hank
Al Waldbaucr. Earl Ying-
ling, Lefty" Thompson, and George
DuMont. the daring shipyarder, are
on Griffs reserve list.
II is not thought that all this gang
will be taken to Augusta or wher-
ever the team trains. II would take
more than Grin, AItrock and Mike
to keep their eyes on thirteen
pitchers. And Mike has other things
to do. and so has Altrock. who zener-
ally does more than all the others
anyway.
Has stun To Trade.
II Clark Griffith really wants q
second bsseman and a shoNstop, he
has material for trading purposes.
Indeed. he has too many players for
the new rules to countenance. OF
some OF those on the list are
simply on the list. They'll never be
seen.
Not allowing for shifts caused by
future trades, IL might be said, that
Judge. Shanks, Lavan, Foster, and

SHORTAGE IN OH WELL

There will be- great shortage In
oil well supplies during 1918. and II
ID believed higher prices win have TO
be- paid by producing companies. De-
mand greatly exceeds amount avail
able. says New York authority.
Higher prices will not discourage
drilling. In the opinion Of equipment
manufacturers. as the country needs
oil. chiefly for war purposes, and n
stimulating producing companies TO
seek new production.
Prices for oil are expected IA adjust
themselves 10 increased price Of sup
plies. There has been a big demand
from the mid-continent field for cas-
ing head gasoline supplies, and great
er activity Is looked for There has
been no largo demand for pipeline
supplies during the last year. on
companies In Mexico are expected To
do a large amount Of active field work
this year.
Demand for pipelines In that coun-
try exceeds last year, Large compan-
les In Mexico have been the biggest
purchasers Of pipeline supplies and
the smaller companies the principal
buyers of oil well supplies.
