Gleason to Accompany Sox.
An added attraction will be the
presence of Manager Gleason. Glea

many years and is held by majority
of big league fans as the greatest
manager in the game. He gave the
baseball world surprise when he
pushed his fighting club of players
from last place, where the dopesters
said they belonged, to third place.
hard on the heels of the great st.
Louis and New York teams. who have
been exchanging first and second
places right along. Gleason is the
type of manager who can make ball

He built UP one of the greatest ball
clubs the world ever saw. only to have
them sell worlds series in 1919 to the
Cincinnati Reds.
Dunn Strengthens LINEUP.
Manager Dunn and the Cubs are
planning to make the big leaguers
travel at fast pace to win and even
have hopes of taking the Chicago
team into camp. The Ottawa team is
classy bunch of ball players, and IL
they play at their top speed the Hose

taking no chances He has signed an
other pitcher TO be on the job if Big
Tim" Murchison is not going right.
The man Dunn signed is Tod Stone,
the crack Aurora hurler, who held the
fast Pontiac team to a two to one
score. Stone has fine assortment OF

Schalk hurt his hand in game not
long ago and is still on the hospital
list Mostil Is sick in bed and there
is little for either he or Schalk toI
be in the lineup. Gleason sent word
that he will bring four pitchers with
the team. Robertson, the young
pitcher who sprang into FAME when he
hurled the third perfect game. known
to big league baseball Pitching
against Detroit he turned in a nohit-
n0-run, no-man-reach-tirst game. From
then on he has done some good hurl-
ing for the Sox and has won a lot of
games. Another young star that will
come with the Sox is Gorham Y. Lev.

of the season. His record with the
SoX SO far this season would do credit
to a veteran, He has all sorts Of
curves and fast one that can't be seen.
The other two hurlers that will make
the trip are Courtney and Davenport
Both of these are good pitchers but
have been hitting bad luck all season

will have to have their batting clothes

any of tese four hurlers.
Plan for Handling Crowds.
The Cub officials know what a
crowd will be there and they are max
ing ready to take rare of the seating

seats put on the large piece of cement
in front of the grand stand They are
also planning to take care of the ov.

likely be two more ticket sellers L
