- If there's any special re-
ward in this year of re-
construction for the feat
Of going democratic with a
loWer-caSe "d") and thoroughly
left-handed at one and the
same time, the Boston Red SoX
should walk off with the Amer
lean League pennant and COM
piete the CONSERVATION they
have already caused in base ball
after a lapse of 16 years.
In the process of complete reorgani-
zation under a new ownership headed
by Tom Yawkey, youthful New York
millionaire, directed by the resource
full Eddie Collins and with the ener-
getic Stanley (Bucky) Harris newly
installed as manager, the Red Sox
have drawn upon the resources Of all
seven American League rivals. They
also have combed the minor leagues,
built up their own farm system and
entirely remodeled their home grounds,
FenWay Park, in preparation for a
Bo4d Ielu41 " Tie SIdLILo VI d S44dlH-
pionship contender.
The Red Sox have not been out of
the second division since the break
up of their last pennant winner in
1918. They finished seventh in 1888,
the first year under the Yawkey-
Collins regime, but a sensational series
f Winter deals has put an entirely
lew complexion upon the situation.

The trio of right-handers is cal
culated to make the pastiming
more than merely interesting for
the Yannigans. even though the
latter will have in their lineup
such stout sockers as Dave Harris,
Bob Boken. Gus Dugas and Fred
Sington. Harris and the Rockies,
Dugas and Sington have lashed
the leather in high and hand
some way in the failing drills and
Boken has not been far behind
them with his wallops.
The left-handers who will face
the Regulars appear to be in
tidier trim than any others of the
Washington hill detail, which
makes it so much the better, In

A Left handed" Team.

THERE is room for speculation as
to Just how productive some of
these deals will be, but the re-
built Red Sox already shape up as a
first-division outfit.
If there is such thing as south
paving the opposition to death the
Red Sox have enough portside poison
to do it. No club in ma jor league his
tory has approached the barrier with
such southpaw resources. Topping the
list is the great Robert Moses Grove,
fire-ball terror Of the last 10 years,
who cost Boston around Sl25,000 and
is expected to pace the pitching staff
with at least 20 victories. Big Nose
came up with the first sore arm Of his
career this Spring, but he blows cigar
smoke at any suggestion this develop
ment is either serious or an indication
| that he is slipping.
The left-hauded majority otherwise
consists of George (Rube) Walherg,
Groves associate of championship
days with the Athletics; Big Bob Wei
land. a holdover upon whom Harris
relies heavily; Herb Pennock, the gift
ed former Yankee who can still do
neat turn OF relief pitching, and Fred
Ostermueller, recruit sensation who
won l6 games for the Rochester In
ternationals last year.
For right-hanoed foils, Harris has
three former Yankees in George Pip
gras, Henry johnson and Gordon
DUSTY Rhodes, besides John Welch,
one of the few holdovers on the roster.
Rhodes so far has shown enough
stuff to be designated as the number
two starting pitcher. Pipgras and
johnson each have had arm opera
tionS since last year.

Cronin's opinion. He would have
Manu;h Kuhel, Myer and Stone
lunging at left-hand offerings
throughout the series of exhibition
games to come if he could-and
that they probably will do most
of the time-for each of this quar-
tet packs his punch on the port
side and frequently had his trou-
bles when facing sinister slab
artists in contests that counted.
Cronin feels the left-hand slab
bing will be great training for the
lone youngster who will break into
the Regulars lineup, too. Cecil
Travis, who is to alternate at third
base with the veteran Ossie Bluege,
also swings at the leather from the
left side. Although he hung up a
fair batting mark in the few games
he played for the Nationals last
year, Travis was not so impressive
when trying to get somewhere at a
southpaw's expense.
There may be more Of these in
traclub games arranged, as Man.

champions to get themselves in

now on, and but six exhibition tits

Expects Great Pitching.

"VXTITH the kind Of pitching I
w. am confident We will get
from the start" says Harris,
II do not see how We can miss being
in the pennant scrap"
Harris is satisfied he will get all
the backstopping skill he needs from
the smooth-working, hard-hitting
Rick FerrelI. He also looks for real
batting punch from an outfield con-

and either Carl Reynolds or Julius

whether either the outfield or infield
measures up to requirements. The
inner defense probably will start with
Eddie Morgan, Cleveland castoff, on
first; Max Bishop, formerly of the
AS. and the lead-of king, at second;
Chalmer CiSsell, obtained from the
Indians, at short, and Young Bucky
Walters, from the San Francisco Mis-
sions, on third. The reserves include
Joe Judge. team mate of Harris on
the 192425 Washington champions;
Bill Werber, eX-Yankee, and Fred
Muller from Seattle.
What the Red Sox stand most in
need of is a powerhouSe such as jim
mie Foxx. They not only admit it
but they would be quite willing to
pay the price if they could persuade
Connie Mack to part with his home
run king.

Each of these lefthanders will
be ordered to the hill for a three
inning term and each instructed to
put enough into their pitching to
give the first stringers something
more than ordinary batting prac-
tice.
The remaining member of the
Yannigans hurting detail will be
AL Thomas or Mark Filley, right
handlers both. Cronin wants his
crew to get a good look at ortho-
dox flinging, too, as they swing in
competition for the first time this
Spring.
Thomas, although he declares
his doctored arm again is in fine
fettle, will be kept out Of action
unless he warns up with deal
of freedom. While the pitcher is
eager for the assignment Manager
Cronin does not intend to have
the perhaps overzealous Tommy
risk setback.
The game would afford Cronin a
splendid opportunity to guage the
ability of Filley, should he be Sc
lected, and the manager seems in
a hurry to learn more of what
the boy borrowed from Albany has
in pitching way. Filley will get

SEEKS TO LEARN

IN ILOXI, Miss, March 90
- Although Clark Griffith

ton, the third-string catcher
who has steadfastly refused to
come to terms with the Ma
tionals, it comes out that the
club president intends writing
Judge Lands to learn what may
be done with the hold-out.
The big boss Of the Nationals eX-
plains his suddenly renewed interest
in Bolton as a matter of protection
for the club.
i want to take what action I can
to prevent Bolton finding some way
to put himself on the voluntarily re-
tired list should he attempt to do so, -
says Griffith. He mustn't be allowed
to get away with this"
Asked if he would like to get Bolton
in line that he might use the catcher
as possible trading material, Griffith
said, Il do not, for I wouldn't trade
any holdout," then added, why, that
WOUlQ De a victory Tor MN.
So far as Griffith knows, Bolton
became an actual holdout under base
ball law only when he failed to put
in an appearance at camp last Friday
as the law provides that player must
undergo training for 80 days before
the championship season starts. But
the Washington prexy is somewhat
hazy as to how Bolton may be
punished.
Griffith thinks that Bolton would
have to train without pay for any
portion of the 80 days that might
come after the flag fight got under
way. He does not believe the 30-day
provision can be revised in any way
except by permission of the games
commissioner. So he wants the low
down from Lands.
