Heglnnlng almost where they left off last fall, after having established ti record of twenty-seven consecutive victories, the fllants will have it big Job on their bands In running true to form, but the punch Is there, nnd If things happen without kicking a hole In the dope, tho wot Id's series will be staged with one-half of the receipts counted at the l'olo (rounds. At first base Mcdraw will have Walter Tlolke. tho brilliant recruit from the Inter national League, who topped tho National League bntters In't season during tho brief period ho was with the New Yorkers He Is being called the most promising prospect ho has worn the spangles of a major leaguer In years.

At third base the former Cub, Heinle Zimmerman, will be planted. Ills bitting. In addition to a great Holding sibllity, has caused him to be styled the best third base man 111 the league. Arthur Fletcher, another brilliant per former, will be nt shortstop. Kvery one of these eoijs In the Inner ma chine, with the exception of llolke, Is a veteran performer. There Isn't a chance that a youngster will tako the place of any of them, nnd for that leasnn there will be few recruits on hand. This defense un doubtedly will stand through the season. The outfield Is Just as strongly organized and will have this year an additional bul wark In the person if Ued Murray, provided McGraw decides to letaln the snrrel-tnpped gardener. Benny Kauff will have the center field po sition again, and MrOraw. In addition to all his supporters, expecls the former Fed to make good In far better fashion this year than his last effort showed. Kauff's hitting last season began to show Improvement ns the season approached Its end. Davy Robertson will be planted In right Held and George Hums In left, unless nil the signs fall. They are both mighty bitters and far above the average a.s fielders. For a pitching staff McGraw has the youthful but brilliant Schupp as u nucleus for a wonderful staff In addition there will bo Jeff Tesreau, Fred Anderson, Foil I'errltt, Slim Rallee and a few recruits who are expected to show well.
