mean his retirement from baseball
it may be that the 1918 season will
again see him in uniform. either as
manager Of one OF the few clubs
which VIII require new pilots or as
adviser to the manager Of some other
club. in a capacity similar to that he
held with Pat Moran.
But It is not likely that Johnny

again. His age and his physical con-

this.
Few second basemen have sur
passed Evers's record at the keystone

For years with the great Cub machine
