EMIL FUCHS HASN'T
HAD MUCH Time TO
WORRY About team
Doesn't Know How Many Play.
ers Boston Braves Will
Have Next Season

Boston, Jan. 22-(AP)-President-
Manager Emil Fuchs of the Boston
Braves hasn't been worrying about
his ball club lately He hasn't had
time.
The general magnate, who startled
the baseball world when he sold Rog-
ers Hornsby and then announced he
would manage the club himself, does
not even know how many players he
will have when his squad gathers at
st. Petersburg, Fla, several weeks
hence.
During the last few weeks, when
he should have been perfecting his
preseason. plans, Fuchs has been
kept on the jump explaining his
clubs connection with the passage of
the Sunday sports referendum and
his efforts to- obtain Sunday base
ball permit from the Boston City
council.
Fuchs is positive about one thing,
however. He is going to have plen-
ty Of assistance managing his 1929
edition Of the Braves. After trad
ing Hornsby, he retained Johnny
Evers and Hank Gowdy, who played
for the club back in the happy days,
AZ his understudies.
Has Many Players
He is also going to have many vet
.eran ball players, for he has claimed
or bought every aging star waivered
or put up for sale since last Octo-
Der. Among them are Joe Dugan,
who helped the Yankees win five
world series, and Rabbit Meanwhile,
who played for the inspired Braves
Of 1914 and who, since then, has
been burning up the National league
with his extraordinary spurts.
Though Fuchs has given it no
thought as yet, it is more than likely
that Dugan will be holding down
third base with Rabbit on his left at
short stop when the season starts.
Freddy MaGuire, who came from the
Cubs in the Hornsby deal, is the logi-
cal choice for second base and George
Sisler will probably be able to retain
his first base berth.
The others on the infield list are
Lester Bell, Eddie Farrell and Wal
ter Cautreau, all with the club last
season: Glen Messner, purchased
from Toledo, and q youth named
James, coming up from the Omaha
club in the Western league.
The best outfield combination APP
pears to be Lance, Richbourg and
Earl Clark, back again in right and
center. and either George Harper,
late Of the Cardinals, or AL Moore,
purchased from Buffalo in the left
garden. Fuchs also has retained Ed
die Moore, Jack Smith and Heinie
Muller, who chased flies for Horns
by last season.
Catchers Are Strong
The catching department appears
strong, comprising lack Taylor, al
Spohrer and Bill Cronin, al veter-
ans, Pat Collins, another ex-Yankee,
and two rockies, Dick Smith, drafted
from Montreal, and Louis Leggett,
purchased from Reading.
Fuchs thinks he has II pitchers but
he is not sure that several more
won't appear when the squad -.
sembles Ia Florida. Nine of the
known hurlers were with the club
last season, performing IN N in-and-
out fashion.
The veterans are Ed Brandt, hen
Cantwell, Johnnie Cooney, Arthur
