eight National League Clubs

league box scores. A score of men who
have had trials before under the big

be on familiar ground wearing strange
uniforms.
The Boston Braves, with a chance to
make 10 changes in its personnel, will
have the largest crop of new talent.
Some critics of the Braves base ball
behavior last season may be unkind
enough to say they need it.

Hornsby, who came to them by the
trade route, the Chicago Cubs have
Ccmbed the highways and hedges of
the minors for the untried players
and recalled a number who had been
found wanting, at least temporarily,
in other years.

have sent Rogers HornSby from the
Braves to the Cubs and transferred
Fred Mcguire, Percy Jones, Louis Seq
get and Harry Siebold to Boston. Pitts
burgh gave Glenn Wright to Brooklyn
for Jess Petty and Harry Riconda.

Sands place at shortstop for the
PhillieS.
