We were battling for the championship and Shea went out of the game with a broken finger, a bad break it was too, early in the game and Joe Custer took up the catching. We took Shea into the club before a doctor could be summoned for him. pain and it would have tried th house and it Was some time He was in ne patience pf anybody, And then the bell in the press box rang twice for Tacgma, the Tigers scoring a couple of You should have heard the sweet language that Shea used, thumb gone, his whole heart and all the pain of the brok soul being in the game itself.

(Address) Braves Have Aggregation for 1923 BY BILLY EVANS T. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 27 ~—The Boston Braves will not finish last in the National league thi year. The Braves at this. time last year were picked for the first division, a possible pennant contender, yet they finished a bad last. In the spring of” 1922, Manager| McGraw of the New York Giants, in| sizing up the opposition, expressed | the opinion that the Braves would | make trouble. I am not making any predictions | for the Braves for this year other | than that Fred Mitchell's club will not finish Jast. The drop to the cellar position was | an awful blow to Mitchell and his| Veteran players. They are equally positive that the club will not re- peat as a tallender. In fact, some of the more optimistic are sure of fifth place, and hint at the possibili- ty of a first division berth. BRAVES’ BOARD OF STRATEG One of the things that impressed me at the Braves’ traning camp was Mitchell's board of strategy. The veteran Dick Rudolph, one of the smartest pitchers that ever| threw a ball, looked after the recruit | twirlers. He was ably assisted in| his efforts by Charley Farrell, one| of the greatest catchers that ever donned a glove. Handing out pointers to the young} infielders was Arthur Devlin, who,} as member of the New York! Giants, won the honor of being| classed a9 one of the greatest third! | Was jinxed, explained Hank. . subject to the ‘rulea and | regu 192: Improved sackers in the history of the game. As I watched the Braves at prac tice, and in actua} competition, it seemed imposible that a club with as much strength as Boston could| possibly finish in last place. A talk with a few of the veterans will readily explain the reverse suffered | |by the Braves in 1922. BOSTON CLUB WAS JINXED I talked it over with Hank Gowdy, who looks in wonderful shape, and| who seems destined to do much of! Boston's catching, rther than being | shipped to the minors as Dame | Rumor had it Jest winter, “From the very beginning to the} end of last season the Boston club| “Only two of the regular players | [escaped Injury. At one time in Chi-| cago we had only 16 players in unt-| form, and two of those were in no condition to play.” On 50 different occasions last year some regular was forced out of the game because of injuries. Billy Southworth and Tony Broeckel, two of our best man, were out of Ita greater part of the year. “Remember how the New York American club was killed off in 1916 because of injuries, when {t neemed the team had a chance for the pen nant? Well, we had twice as much tough luck last year. “No club could stand up under what we did last season; {t was in. evitable that we sink to the depths of baseball, last place.” All the other veterans sald amen| to Gowdy’s words, BOSTON NATIONALS HAVE KEEN INFIELD RECRUITS T. PETERSBURG, Fia., March 27. —The Boston, Braves have one of the best collections of infield re- cruits of any of the major league clubs thus far seen in action. While it ‘is poesible that none of the rookie infielders will break into the opening game lineup, still there is a chance that Manager Mitchell may make some changes in the in- field situation as a result of the fine showing of several youngsters, The Boston infield of last year con- sisted of Boeckel at third, Kopf at short, Ford at second und Holke at first. The sale of Holke to Philadelphia means that first base in open,.stufty MeInni« will play that position, al- tho before the signing of the for mer Amorican league stor, Fred Henry had shown enough to make it appear as if he would be able to fill In most acceptably. Yord at second is a certainty. He is a mighty fine ball player. None of the recruits has a chance to get anywhere as far as second base is concerned. At shortstop the ‘veteran Larry Kopf will have Arthur ("Jock") Con- Jon, former Harvard captain, as his rival. Conlon is fast and con field, Kopf hustle. Padgett, secured from | the Sotithern league, can play either | short or second and looks very| promising. Tony Boeckel at third {s a mighty | fine ball player when the veteran is| right. All last year ho was bothered with a bad toe that greatly handl-| capped his play. In the very first| exhibition game this year he again| hurt the weak toe. Should Injuries force Boeckel out of the game at any time, he will have |running the game.

TO DRAW Buenos Aires, as a crowd center, It at the disadvantage of being a }long way from other big towns whence to draw visitors, Buenos Alres Itself, however, could bo depended on to turn out almost in a body and there certainly would be a big attendance also from places ike Rosario, Cordoba and Bahla Blanca, which are pretty fair sized Argentine burgs; from Santiago and Valparaiso, over in Chile; from Mon- tevideo, in Uruguay, and even from as far away as Santos, Sao Paulo and Rio do Janeiro, up in Brazil, Maybe if an Argentine syndicate |should put up as high as $1,000,000 |it would have to gamble a Uttle on getting all its money back, with a | profit, but at that it wouldn't be such a bad bet—not half as bad as other chances Argentine money has taken aforetime, It’s alno suggested that perhaps the Argenting authorities wouldn't per- mit the fight within their jurisdic: tion.
