M with the problem to get out

lar on their minds, the
Boston Red Sox, starting again un-
der the management of MartyMc-
Manus, who succeeded "Shano"
Collins midway through the 1882
season, and under new ownership,
made satisfactory progress at their
Sarasota, Fla, training camp.
The pitchers and catchers got into
trim very quickly. There was fine
weather for the workouts, and. with the
men reporting in excellent condition, the
boxmen were more than ready to do
some real pitching by the time the in
fielders and the outfielders got to camp.
McManus is not working with very
large squad. but his job is to round out
team from talent much of which is
new to the club. Already he sees ahead
Of him the chance for a pretty good
pitching staff, more experienced in
field than the Sox have had for some
time and also the possibility to get some
genuine hitting punch in the outfield.
ON the revamped pitching staff the
~ only flrst-string men from last
years starting list are Right
handler Bob Kline and Left-hander Bob
Weiland. Last season the Sox got Dusty
Rhodes, Paul Andrews and Henry john
son from the, Yankees later picking up
John WEIGH from Newark Recently
they traded three players for Pitcher
Walter Brown of the Montreal Inter-
nationals. These are the seven men COM
prising the present first-string nucleus.
Henry johnson did not pitch last year,
but appears like his former self again.
He has been showing all his old speed.

The outfield will be picked from
Right-hand Hitters Tom Oliver and
Johnny Watwood, both of whom were
with the club last year, and Bob Fother-
gill, who for so many years was with
the Tigers before he went to Chicago.
The left-hand hitting talent is Roy
johnson, Tom Winsett, Bob Seeds, from
the White Sox; George Stumpf and per-
