Leonard Has Clean Slate.

Leonard never loSt a WorlQ series game, winning over the PhilIies in 1915 and the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1916. Leonard is one of the few pitchers who have hurled two no hit games.
 Long Shore, the third man pro cured from the Red Sox, was once a member. of the Giants. Shore, a sturdy righthander,- came to the Giants'in the 1912 season from Gull ford College, North Carolina. He and Davey Robertson pitched the Sunday games which the Giants at one time played regularly at Long Branch, N. J. Shore pitched only one National League inning during his Giant career and it was historic. The Giants had the Braves, 21 to 3. ano McGraw sent in Shore to pitch the ninth inning. Before he could | retire the side ten Boston runs were scored off the big pitcher, as he was ! assaulted for flock of hits, including two home runs.
 The Giants released Shore to In- | dianapolis, but he refused to report | to the Indians. However, in 1913 l Ilt pldy eu WlIH NIIeGDSDOIO. IN. S i and in 1914 signed with baltimore l He went so well with the Orioles that in midseason of that year Jack | Dunn sold Shore, Babe Ruth and l Catcher Egan ito the Red Sox for one of the biggest sums ever paid a minor 1 league manager. Shore was a star from the first day he put on a Red Sox uniform He allowed less than two earn ed runs a game in his first two setasons with. the Bostons. Manager
 Carrigan entrusted him with the hon. pr of pitching the first game in the 1915 and 1916 worlds series. He lost the opening game of the 1915 series in a pitchers battle with Alexander T but after that he won three straight | worlds series games.
 l Last season Shore pitched one o1 i the most remarkable games on record against the Washington club Ruth started to pitch for Boston, and Nor. gan, the first batter up, was giver his base on balls. Ruth incensed al the decision struck Umpire Owen, and immediately was ordered out o1 the game. Shore, who was sent 1T
 with practically no time to warm up
 did not permit another man to reacI first base, retiring the twenty-seve1
 Washington batsmen in order.
 Will Take Loves Place Shore will take Slim Loves plac, , as the bean pole of the Yankees. Ht
 is feet 4 1-2 inches tall. He is 2 years old.
 Of the Yankee players sent to Bos
 ton the only ones who really will b. missed are Walters and Gilhooley , Walters is without question a fin
 young catcher and a beautiful throw CT, but his batting last season wa
 very disappointing as he hit only ..199
 He came to the Yanks from Waco il
 the fall of 1915. Gilhooley at times has show flashes of real greatness, but is a brit tie little chap, and during his Yanke career has spent most of his time il the Red Cross tent. He first cam l up with the Cardinals in 1911 bu 3 last year was the first time he play Q ed through a complete big league sea son.
 |, Caldwell might have been tn s Mathewson of the Yankees. but h e turned out to be the Bugs Raymon l (" the local Amerlcans. 6When in con s dition he was a wonderful pitcher an g also a splendid batter, but his irregu
 lar habits destroyed his effectiveness, g He has been slipping during the las |, two years, but a fighting manager C r the old school like Barrow may ge k something out of him. Caldwell wa
 one of the few Yankee survivors C | the old Hilltop days and came to tn team in 1910. Only Fisher has bee a longer in the New York clubs em
 ployment.
 Love, after being carried by tn
 Yankees for several years. gave som
 promise of developing into a greg S pitcher last season. He was very et ; fective in the spring but slumped tc II ward the finish. He won thirtee II games and lost ten in 1918, which ws = his best year.
