LEW YORK, April 12—Enough has been demonstrated on the spring training trips of the major league clubs to demonstrate that the fans will sece new names in the batting orders and new faces in the linc-ups when the big three-ring circuits start their scason. Changes are expected cach year, and the fans of the greater number of big league cities are rooting hard that the newcomers will make a greater difference in the final results than they have in the last two years, when the New | York clubs won the championships. Most of the cities outside of New York think the metropolitan teams bought their way into the lead. Tt is conceded that such transactions were periectly legal, but they are criticized as being too commercial to fit the true sporting standard. As to the changes. the most con- Spicuous of the new Boston National players arc_ Smith, third baseman. from New Orleans, and Conlon, lhcl former Harvard shortstop.
