BY SID KATZNELL

Every SporLS-m1noeo lazy ana
gentleman in the Nations Capital
know by now that the twenty
seventh annual Union Printers
International Baseball Tourna-
nlent will be held in this city at
Griffith Stadium August 1921,
inclusive. But do they know what
arH the chances Of the local print
Ing aggregation in this classic?
The local nine, under the able
direction Of Ray Homan, who has
been playing this baseball game
of ours since he was able to handle
a bat, is a pretty good ball club.
And, should it get some pitching
from George Mosedale, Lefty"
Bean, Ben Schneider, Buddy Bray,
Heinie Webb or "Tuck" Dalglish,
all Of whom are capable Of turn
ing in well.pitched games If they
are right" should march off with
the coveted honors.
chicago DEFENDS
Chicago, which won the tourna-
ment last season, is reported to
have . stronger team than in
1896.
However, the Homan coached
clan doesn't scare easily. The
locals will probably line up with
Eddie Edwards. ShorCStop: Harry
Hofberg, right field; Phil Boun.
ford, second base; Ray Homan,
third base; "Chick" Holbrook, left
field; Fred Waple, first base;
Tuck" Dalglish, center field;
Mac" Mcpherson, catcher, and
George Mosedale, pitcher. Jim
Holoran, who plays first base and
Dewhurst, who performs in the
outfield, will be held in reserve.
Veteran Players
Edwards, Holbrook, Homan, Dali
glish, Waple, Mcpherson, Nose
dale and Webb are all veteran
players and know where and when
to throw the ball at the right time.
Hofberg and Bounford are the
babies of the team despite the
fact they have been participating
IN the national pastime for the
past five years.

tee, headed by Commissioner
Charlie Holbrook, has arranged an
attractive program for the visit
ing players and the wives. The
