|S|SLER DEPENDING
UP0 n VETERANS
TO PULL THROUGH

st. Louis, Jan. 26 (By A. P.)-Vet-
Grams will again be relied upon by
Manager George Sisler to place the
st. Louis Americans in the champ
ionship running this year.
Despite several trades this winter,
the Browns pilot has indicated there
will be no substantial change in the
teams battle front. with the possible
exception of the battery staffs.
The biggest question mark in the
Browns makeup, in Sisters opinion
is the pitching staff. He anticipates
that If this department performs
anywhere near expectations, the
team VIII make an exceptionally
good showing. Although the absence
of Urban Shocker, the Browns main
stay for several seasons, will be felt,
Sisler believes that the acquisition
of Joe Bush, Milton CASTOR and Joe
Girard from the Yankees in exchange
for Shocker, has strengthened mis-
twirling department.
Wingard, Danforth, Davis, Grant
and Pruett, all mound veterans, will
be back, and in addition, several
holder, who had a good season with
Tulsa of the Western League, will
be given thorough thials.
The veteran Hank SEVERED again
is expected to handle the bulk of
the catching, although this depart
ment has been bolstered, Sisler said,
with the addition of Leo Dixon of
the st. Paul club. who ranked last
year as one of the best receivers in
the American Association.
The infield and outfield are ex-
pected to remain intact, with Sisler
again at first. McManus at second,
Gerber at shortstop and Robertson,
Simon and Rice alternating at third.
Slsler also has announced he Is still
seeking capable right hand bat
ting outtieldcr to aid Jacobson, To-
bin and Ken Williams, the 1924 reg
ularS.
Much Of the Browns prospects de-
pend upon the Individual work of
Manager Sister, the effects OF whose
eye trouble We're manifested last
season, when he was considerably
E,andlcapped. Fans and experts be-
iieve he will improve next season,
while Brown owners. as a mark of
their confidence have signed the pil-
at to contract reported to call for
yearly salary "of $4,000.
approximately as men are expected
70 make the Browns training trip
this year, the Browns pilot said. but
unless some phenoms are discovered
the rockies undoubtedly all will be
released when the season gets under
way.
because of desire to meet Major
League clubs during the spring
