tions in the outfield.
Sickness and injuries during the
training trip impaired the useful
ness of Dave Bancroft at short,
"Goldie" Rapp at third and Frank
Frisch, the 'Fordham flash" at
second, but all three may be the
regular men at these infield posi-
tions Mt the opening Of the season,
with Kelly at the first sack.
McGraw has had more luck with
his pitchers than he experienced a
year ago in the south. Douglas
Nehf, Sallee and Ryan came to
prime form quickly, while Toney,
Barnes and Shea were slower in
getting into playing trim. Snyder,
Smith and Gonzales, with Castor,
make up the catching staff.

When the Reds take the field
for the opening game of the sea-
son in this city on April 13 against
the Pittsburgh Pirates they will be
which won the National league
pennant and the scandalous world
series in 1919. Unless Ed Roush,
center fielder. and Henry Groh,
third baseman. who are hOldouts,
capitulate and return to the lineup
there will be only three of the
Reds OF 1919 in the game, They
win be Pat Duncan in left field,
Jake Daubert at first and Ivy
Wingo behind the bat
At second will be Louis Fonseca,
obtained from a western league. At
shortstop will be Sam Crane. Larry
| Kopf, the shortstop of the team
for three seasons. says he has re-
tired from the game. At third will
be Sam Bohne, secured from the
Seattle club of the Pacific Coast
league. Duncan will be In left
field. Charlie See will hold down
center unless Roush returns. If
Roush continues to hold out the
veteran George Paskert will be in
right. EIler, Luque and Fisher are
the only pitchers Of the 1919 team
left to Moran. Ring. Ruether and
Sallee have gone, ...
Brooklyn (Dodgers),
Brooklyn'S chances in the Ma
tional league this year would seem
to depend more upon the changed
conditions in the other clubs than
upon an estimate of the Superbas'
own strength. They will start the
season With practically the same
lineup with which they won the
championship last year. They still
have the same powerful pitching
staff and it is possible that Cadore
and one or two others of the pitch
ers may be even better than in
1920. i,
Pete Kilduff will again be at
second and Jimmy Johnston al
third
Behind the bat the prospects are
uncertain. Otto Miller, who has
been with the club eleven years
and last year was expected to do
little playing, Unexpectedly went
back to his early form and became
star again. Ernest Kruger was
an erratic thrower last season ano
will probably be second string
catcher this season, but will have
a rival in Zack Taylor. a youngster
who sat on the bench all last sea
son but showed considerable merit
in his few opportunities.

Gone are the Braves Of yester-
wear. This city will scarcely know
its own team when it comes back
from the south. designations

changed the personnel that it Is
only reminiscent of the team of a
wear or two ago, Only Gowdy and
Rudolph remain of the 1914 cham
pions and Rudolph's comeback is
doubtful.
1t will be a team topheayy in
outfield strength, with the former
Pirates Southworth and Nicholson

last years quartet Powell. Sullivan,
Cruise and Eayrs contending for
the odd place with two likely look

flash on his feet. ...
Barbara will be inserted at short
in place Of Maranville. with Holke
holding first again. Ford play
ing Regularly at second and Boeckel
probably at third,
Young blood probably will con-
stitute the bulk of the Braves
pitching staff. Rudolph and FIJI
lingim have ailing arms that need
the summer sun for treatment.
Joe Oeschger, Scott and Watson
win be available early, but the
shoots Of young John Cooney, of
