HUB APPRECIATES
DRASTIC REVISION
Already Talking of Crowd
That Will See Grove on
Hill in "a Start.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.


n YEW- YORK, December 16.-
M What a change few weeks
l Y have made in the Boston
Red Sox outlook. Today
Boston has for it's first baseman
Ed Morgan of New Orleans, who
used to be Cleveland's pet'a year
ago; Max Bishop of the Athletics
for it's second baSeman; Chalmer
Cissell of Cleveland for shortStop
and Bill Walters for third base
man.
Boston has an outfied composed, OF
Cooke, SolterS, johnson and Reynolds,
its latest addition. and now can boast
of an outfield second to none.
Its utility players are good and will
compare favorably with the others IN
the league.
1t is too early to boast that Boston
may win the championship, but what
a difference has been created in a few
short months of jealous effort compared
with the lack of enterprise that had
been shown since the days when Bobby
Quinn led a forlorn hope to defeat.
New Deal for Hub.
n OSTON is awake and trying. Not
X a single active player of the old
= regime will be left for service in
the field when the new head of the
club is ready to start work next Spring.
An entire new team will greet the fans,
except for Rick Ferrell the catcher, and
such pitchers as the Red Sox keep of
the old ones that were in service last
year.
The spirit of going ahead for the best
that is in sight every day will come
very close to giving Boston good
chance Of finishing in the first division.
Even now the fans are beginning to
whoop things UP for the Red Sox.
A gain like this for Boston will make
it better for the league in general.
Thus early they are talking about the
crowd that will be present at the first
is a glorious city to winner, and it
doesn't take very much to stir up en-
thusiasm in that city.
The story of how Rogers Hornsby ef-
fected the trade OF Carl Reynolds Is
rather amusing. He let it be known
that Reynolds might be traded, but only
under stiff conditions. This frightened
away some of those who sought the
outfielder's services. Joe Mccarthy
wanted Reynolds for the. New York
team He would have fitted in pretty
we'll in the Yankee outfield. But if
Mccarthy made a proposition for Rey-
nolds, he did not go very far.
Hornsby Pulls Fast One.
BOSTON heard that Reynolds was
on the market. and Eddie Collins
got busy. Collins, however, did
not know at the time he made the trade
that it was only a pretext for another
trade which st. Louis secretly wanted
to bring out
The Red Sox business manager de-
cided that he didn't want Jolley badly
enough to keep him. The player was
mighty good trading material, though,
because he could hit. Collins thought
he would make the offer attractive by
putting in Ivy Paul Andrews, the pitcher
who had gone to Boston from New
York.
The offer looked so good to Hornsby
that he promptly accepted it. Then
in the next breath he announced that
he had sent Jolley, Jim Levey, short
stop, and Wallace Hebert, a young left
handed pitcher, to hollywood in ex-
change for Strange, {. shortstop who is
considered one of the best young in
felders of the Pacific Coast.
Thus Hornsby sprang surprise on
all the meeting. To add to that, he
purchased Outfielder George Puccinelli
from Rochester because he can hit
harder than any man with st. Louis.
