Never in the history OF swimming
has there been gathered together

Our outlook for the coming sea-

as a pennant contender.
Manager Fohl has as good catch
ing staff as there IS in the American
League.
The Browns outfield is the best IN
either league. The infield IS so per
cent. stronger than last season.
The holes at both second and
third base that weakened the
Browns in 1921 have been plugged
up.
