that he Is a real big Lacquer.
The announcement Of the suspen.
sion Of Donie Bush has caused a lot
Of gossip among the players. Few,
however. care to talk for the types,
but they cannot hide the fact that
both Lamotte and Bluege are show
ing considerable satisfaction. Both
can now expect to be retained by
the club.
while Manager Milan Is not forced
to reach his final decision regard.
Ing those players to be lot out for
several weeks vet, close survey of
his actions indicates that An five
outfielders will be kept, with all
seven infielders and three catch
ers. As Nick Altrock has q play
ers' contract, there remains nine
Jobs for the huriers.
Walter Johnson and George Mo-
gridge are sure of their Jobs. The
puzzle comes in naming the other
seven to hold on to their places.
Those foremost in the running right
now are Joe Gleason, Tom Phillips,
Olaf Erickson. and Frank Wood
ward, right-handers, with Jezebel
Zachary. Ray Francis and Young
Brillheart. southpaws. There does
not appear to be much hope for the
others. though one or two may be
recalled for trial next fall.

and that of his wife and child. This
means that Milan will be likely to
cling to q tenth pitcher as long as
possible.
Manager Milan will work his
pitchers next week with the OBJ
1ect of selecting five for service
over the first week Of the cam
paign against the New York YAM
KEGS and the Mackmen. Mogridge.
Gleason, Erickson and Woodward

Brillheart close after. Francis, too,
could probably go the route right
now against a major league club.
Johnson snd Zachary sre be-
hind the others in their training.
With DOME Bush not likely to
wear . Warrington uniform this
season, Bluege and Lamotte will
be taught more than one infield
position. Lamotte has been play
Ing second base for the Yanni-
