Compared with the (Hants' Inner and
outer defense and Its cntching stuff, other
clubs pule awa to a mere shadow.
Heglnnlng almost where they left off last

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.
Charley Ilerzog, yearn ago slat- perform
er at third base nnd recently n shining light
at shortstop, has been converted Into a .sec
ond baseman, and Is doing better there than
nt any of his former Jobs.
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.
Kocher, Karlden nnd Gibson are signed to
New York contracts. These, with Lew Mc
