Friday was a large day for
Catcher Spencer. In three trips to

CeSSfuI Season for
Boston Mats.
IN Tnftcd Press

~ UHitcd Press
BOSTON, April Here for a
preseason conference with Judge
Emil Fuchs regarding possible
trade and the farming of rockies,
Jack Slattery, new manager of the
Boston Braves, predicted a success
full season for his club.
Il don't intend to predict that we
are pennant possibilities" said Stat
terry, but the Braves will finish sew
eral notches higher than they did
last year.
1T all depends upon my pitchers.
We had an outfield that compared
with the best, and the acquisition
of Lester Bell and Hornsby has
given us an alright infeld."
Jack would not admit he was
troubled about the shortage of
right-hand hitters on his club. A
weakness in this respect has devel-
oped on the Braves, however.
The changes wrought in the
Braves, a seventh place club in 1927,
are all for the best, Slattery believes.
A comparison of the batting orders
of the 1927 and 1923 Braves shows
what Slattery has done this spring:

Slattery said he was well pleased
with the performances of his pitch
ers in Florida. adding that if they
did as we'll against their major
league opponents the Braves might
even their manager. But
he is not promising Boston another
miracle.

TLMnnNE nA n.i.

SYBIL THORNE. Boston society girl,
is preparing on shipbOard for a mad
marriage with RICHARD EUSTIS, whom
she has known exactly five days. To
make matters worse. Sybil is really en-
gagged lin a rather indefinite fashion)
to CRAIG NEWHALL, wealthy young
bachelor, who loves her devotedly.
1t was to reach a sane decision re-
garding marriage with Craig that Sybil,
accompanied by MABEL BLAKE, a So
cial worker. had left Boston for a
peaceful trip to Havana. On the boat
she meets Eustis, who begins imme-
diately to make love to her and finally
though he detests marriage-has begged
her to marry him.
Swept off her feet by his impassioned
ordor, Sybil seems to forget Craig and
consents-on the spur of an insane mo-
ment-to be married by the ships cap
tain. Mabel is to be maid of honor.
The first mate will be bsst man. And
all the passengers are to witness the
ceremony. In tears Mabel dresses for
the mad event and helps Sybil into her
gray georgette-her imprOvised little
wedding gown.
