The Red Sox surely Will appear
strange with Bush and Schang as bat
terry: McInnis, Evers, Scott and Thomas
on the bases; Strunk and possibly
Whiteman in the outfield.
The Browns, too. will not look famil-
lar as a st. Louis aggregation. with
Gallia and Nunamaker in the points;
Sisler, Gedeon. Berber and Maisel on
the bases: Magee. Demmitt and Will
liams in the outfield.
The makeup of the Mackmen is I'M
certain, but the team Will be without
any of the stars of recent campaigns.
a team made up of Gregg and Cady as
n battery; Eodie. Dugan. Shannon and
Gardner as infielders; Walker kopp and
Jameson in the outfield. will have lit
tie or nothing to recall the Athletics
of recent years.
