spell that prevented clubs from re-
pehting as pennant winners.
Requirements Of modern baseball
ncceasitate an ever changing policy
n personnel as Is evidenced by look
Ing over tho rosters Of the major
league clubs.
Not one OF the great stars Of the
1914 Athletics remain on Connie
Mack's payroll. Many Of them are
still In the game. but they are scat
tered all over the circuit
Hank Gowdy Is the lone survivor
OF the champion Brave team OF 1914.
Tho champion Boston Red Sox OF
1915 have been completely disbanded
and Of tho Philadelphia Nationals,
which opposed them in the series that
fall. none remain.
Olson. Wheat, Myers and Johnston
are tho only members OF the Brook
Ign champions Of 1915 who are still
drawing pay from Squire EbbctA
Eddie Collins. Ray Schaik and Red
Faber still survive. but all tho other
stars OF the champion White Sox OF
1917 have departed. Every one OF
the pennant winning Giants OF the
same year has also gone his way.
killifer, Hollocher, Deal and o'Far-
rell still wear the Cub uniforms, but
the Cuba OF 1918 have scattered.

championship in 1919. Pat Moran

Daubert. Duncan, Roush. wingo and

q new team that Is another con-

The Cleveland champions OF 1921
are also under the process Of rcor-
sanitation. Coveleskie. Uhle. Nor
ton, Wamhy. Sewoll. Gardner and
Jameson are the only survivors that
iris Speaker has on his roll.
The New York Yankees have what

they SO along.
The Giants. on tho other hand.
have virtually young team and Nc
Graw ought TO be able to get along
for three or four years with the ma
terial he now has nj his disposal.
Disruption OF n team usually re-
suits In wide scattering OF the play
crH, but In few cases many old
teammates have found themselves
back In company eventually.
The New York Yankees are the
most notable example. as they are
madc UP almost entirely OF groups OF
players from other clubs.
Baker, Bush. schang, Pennock and
Shawkcy of the 1914 Athletics are all
banded together again under tho
banner OF Miller HugHins.
Along with the same group who
reached New York via Boston are
other former Red sox players, In
Guiding Scott, Ruth, Mays. Jones,
Hoyt and MoNally.
Az the players come and go, so
do the managers John McGrnw and
Connie Mack hold the record among
the majors for long distance In office.
Both have financial holdings In their
clubs and both can have their Jobs
