1894 champions.
III Charlie English. second base
man; Buck Fausett. third baseman,
and Wallace Moses. outfielder. are
not retained after April ! by the
Philadelphia Athletic they will be
returned to Galveston. Their re-
turn would plug the three out
standing weak spots on the club. In
addition to the three above players.
Pitchers Jim Bivin and Orville
Jorgens went TO Philadelphia on a
make-good basis and may be re-
turned before the start Of the sea-
son.
Jack Mealey. who succeeded webb
as manager. Is proud OF the pitch
ing alignment. Joe Gibbs. Six-foot-
five youngster who was a sensa-
ton last year until he suffered q
brokol collar bone In m~id-season.
Is counted OF as ICE Of the staff.
He won Is games against Q defeats
last season.
Plenty Of Hurlers
With Gibbs is Jack Jakucki.
rookie who broke In with q string
Of shutouts in mid-season OF 1884;
Eddie Cole. young highlander
from the New York-Penn league,
who won 10 games with the 7th
place Hazleton club last season:
Tom Davis. highlander, who won

and won a couple OF important
games during the pennant drive:
and two rockies, Cub Moore and
Lefty Bracheen. Jimmy Walkup,
veteran southpaw. is on the reserve
list but has expressed a desire 10
be placed on the voluntary retired
list.
Behind the plate the BUGS will be
we'll fortified. Bob Linton. giant
lefthand hitter. is the No. / back
stop. Don Maynard and Monk
Keith are candidates for the Sec
ond string job. Manager Mealey
will hold himself in readiness for
emergency duty behind the plate.
Sol Mishkin. a 1886 hitter from
the New York-Penn league. was
counted on as the regular first
baseman but he is seeking to 90 on
the voluntary retired list. Calves
ton officials hope TO diSsuade him
but have started hunting for an
other first baSeman.
Infielders Needed
Second base is wide open. Jim
my Mcleod, last years shortstop
is a fielding star but a light hitter
Third base is wide open. Rookie
infielders include Bob Yarter. who
divided time between the outfield
and infield with Oklahoma City
last season: and Freeman Ueckert
Carl Hardin and Albright Hunt. all
from the SandlotS. Yarter Is con-
sidered an excellent utility man and
may make the third base grade.
Tony Governor in center and Joe
prerost in left are considered out
field fixtures. The rightfield job
is open with Gerald McQuaig. OBJ
tanned from the Athletics on op-
ton. the leading candidates. He
will find competition from Fred
Frink from HaZleton. Warren Bak-
er from the Chicago sandlots. and
Zeke Mori from the Rio Grande
Valley.
Summed up. the Galveston pros
poets are for strong pitching. strong
catching, powerful defe n S
strength at shortstop and center
field; fair performers at first base
and leftfield from both the often
sive and defensive standpoint. and
good all-around clay at second
third and rightfield II English
Fausett and Moses are returned.
