Just about the pick of the flock that
George Gibson accumulated % max
the veteran infielders hustle for
their jobs and may land the second

be utility infielder for tho Buccos.
Prize Southpaw Hurlcr.
The Tigers and Dodgers appear
to have landed prize recruits in
southpaw pitchers. Cole of Detroit.
who starred with san Francisco last
season. is a sure thing, according TO
reports from Texas and Uncle Bobby
has said Il lot of nice things about
sam Post, a sturdy fork hlnder
from Portsmouth.
The best bets OF some Of the other
teams appear to be:
AthlctiCs-Frank walker now
outflelder.
Senators-Frank Bower, sluggcr-
pitcher and 1870 home run kinE OF
the International league.
Phillics-W. BruEEe. catcher, who
was with Buffalo last year.
