As to the catching department,
Manager Harris believes the first

Clif Bolton, still young in years but a
veteran In service. While Jack Red

Bolton behind the bat, Bolton Is a

make way for the known slugger.
Harris said today, however, that
Redmond undoubtedly will see much

Pilot Wilson'S Optimistic Psychology

The outfelders, Allen. Watkins and
John Moore. have been cast off by
more clubs than care to count. Two
Of the inflelders, VergeZ and Ryan,
were failures with New York last
year. Only one of the pitchers. curt
Davis, can be safely classified as a
star.
Ryan Working Up Inspiration.
But the team may be dangerous as
a whole. Wilson is an authentic in
fiamer Of men. The players. most Of
them young and willing, will work
hard for him. And when Jimmy gets
tired Of inspirations and knocks off
for while the club can fall back on
that versatile, free-style, right-and-
left hand, all-around inspirer, Blondy
Ryan.
Blondy is practicing some
new acts Of inspiration this
Spring. He thinks a couple Of
his ideas are surefire.
The best pitching bets on the club
are Davis. who collected 10 victories
last season; Fuel Moore, the strong
and promising Redskin; Fidgety Phil
Collins, a much-beaten but effective
pitcher of the Benge-Sweetland fu-
tility school, and Snipe Hansen, an
average southpaw. Joe Bowman and
Sylvester johnson will support these
boys in the style to which they are
accustomed.
Jim Biven and Orville Jorgens,
leading beavers of the Galveston club
last year, seem to be the most likely
of the recruits. There are two orchard
requirements, Boland and Arnovich.
In the infield Wilson Is leaning
heavily on Lou Chiozza, who hit for
1903 in his freshman year. The CATCH
ing, with AL Todd and the aforesaid
Wilson at work. is very good.
So there you have a ball team
which doesn't sound like much on
paper, but may create lot of trouble
and strife in the National League. I
hope it does, because Jimmy Wilson is
an industrious, deserving gentleman
with a sharp tongue and wits that
are even sharper.

For Jimmy Is full of fire. He's a
fighting ball player. naming names
and nursing his feuds with the care
and tenderness of a parent. More
over, he is smart. The ball club he
will put on the field this year is a
club with its face lifted, resembling
in almost no respect the Phillies of

Jimmy Is no more optimistic about
the Phils than are two or three other

There still remain more than two
weeks before the American League
opens its championship campaign.
When April 16 arrives all hands ought
TO be fully fit for the fight.
Right now the only players that
appear to be below par are Joe Kuhel,
veteran first sacker: Al Powell, the
rookie outfielder who seems destined
to supplant Fred Schultz in the mid
die pasture, and sgd Cohen, southpaw
slabman, who complains of a slight
soreness in his pitching arm.
