This season should bring to close 15 long years of pennance that followed the wrdcking of the great world championship club of 1918 Since then no Fenway Park outfit has poked it's nase into first division. Most of the teams wound up in the cellar. The Sox finished seventh in 1883.
 Good Start
 In preparing the club for its sec- ond season under the Yawkey col ors, the new ownership has equip ped it to go places. If the club lives up to preseason indications, 1t should finish fourth this year. Young Tom Yawkey, millionaire and scion of a great baseball fam fly has proved to Boston that he wasn't fooling when he promised to rebuild a club worthy of one of the country's best baseball towns.
 Yawkey and his shrewd assist ant, Eddie Collins, replaced Marty McManus at the managerial helm by bringing in forceful Bucky Har- ris, erstwhile Detroit pilot. In a series of smashing deals they ob- tained players that give the club a championship complexion in all departments except the infield. They organized a farm system and remodeled Fenway Park to accom- modate increased patronage.
 The 1894 squad looks good in training. Harris has inspired them to hustle and swept away last rem nants of the defeatest attitude.
 The SoX possess truly formidable battery strength. The acquisition of Lefty Grove, speedball king for the past decade, and Rube Walberg from the Athletics and Fred Oster- mueller, brilliant rookie from Rochester, is expected to give Har- ris seven dependable starters and one of the greatest aggregations of southpaw hurlers in baseball history. Big Bob Weiland will be the other southpaw starter, witt, left-handed Herb Pennock as a re- liefer.
 Right handed starters probably will be Dusty Rhodes, Henry John- son, and George Pipgras, right handed Johnny Welch will relieve. Grove, Walberg and Pipgras all>are at least 33, and Pennock is 39. Grove and Walberg are expected " coihS lAIouSH III STedC Style. Pennock is fading. Johnson and Pipgras underwent elbow opera tions in the late summer. It is problematical what they will do. Neither seemed to have lost any ability in practice. Other pitchers in camp are not figured on.
 Rick Terrell, an excellent back stop, retains the first-string catch ing post. Gordon Hinkle from Rochester, heavy hitter, will do relief, with either Eddie Connolly, holdover, or Doc Leggett from Buffalo as third man.
 Uncertain
 The infield presents, the Sox big question mark. It is expected to start off with Eddie Morgan, Cleve- land cast-off on first; Max Bishop from the Athletics on second; Bill CisseII from Cleyeland at short and
