Both Owner tomlskcy and Manager Itowland express themselves as Willing to stand pat, and they point hurlers are in tho hopper and that one In particular, I'ul Musscr, the Dcs Moines whirlwind, nightly touted by Frank Isbell, is expected to come through big. j. TKTlTtl a generally promising bix reserve outfit the possible full- ' ure or loss thtough the draft of Incidental pitchers of last year, aome of whom arc eligible to go, Is thought to be safeguarded. World Series Line-Up Virtually Into. :t for 1918 n. fPHK lineup will include Gandil on first, Collins at second, Weaver at J shorti McMullIn on third, Jackson, Kolsch and John Collins and Nemo Lelbold alternating according to the opposition pitching In the outllcld, with Eddio Murphy, the pinch hitter, who pinches the hits on deck to till in when v needed.

Thirty Men Will Be Taken on Texas Training Trip A COMPARATIVELY healthy outlay of thirty players will be taken lo "Texas for spring training and ko settled Is the mMiC-up of the sr.uad that shqj-t shrift will be made of youngsters not producing the gooiN. The twirling Irregulars of the world's champions sjggcst home gaps. Iteb Russell Is considered all In and Claude Williams. Dave Danforth, Joe Bcnz and Mel Wolfgang are not likely to be any more effective, taken col lectively, than last car. Besides Muscr, a promising young twlrlcr Is on hand In the person of Robertson, who burnt up the Texas League last sea son. Robertson's sponsor Is Reb Russell. The kid comes from Reb's home town, Bonham, Tex., and It would be the irony of fate it he were to - crowd out his sponsor as a big league boxman. Others are Rube Mctz, who comes from Denver with a good record: Schellenbach, who wasn't much with Milwaukee, and Ed Corey, Chicago corner-lot strike-out kid. New outfield and infield material is so unnecessary that It Is not even mentioned In the advance dqptSj frornthc Windy City. ,, . . Training will fee'done at Mineral Wells, and Comlskcy has Issued oiderj ''that aa far as possible the team shall stage all its practice games at tho various army cantonments in Lone Star territory. He wants the boys to halp entertain the country's fighters at any and all opportunities and with this program in view will malntajn a regular schedule of Army and Navy Days throughout the entire playing season as well. v VIEWING the entire landscape, it is the unanimous opinion of both Magnate Comtskey and Manager Rowland that the team is good as world's champions for the second time In succession, They say it U a case merely of oiling up the old machine and thut no matter how Frazco may strengthen he cannot hope to put a team In the field of like reliability. Yankee Trade Fails to Provide Needed Color AFTER due consideration, the New York sport critics are not enthusiastic XjLover the big. deal In which Pratt and Plank were secured from the St. Louis Browns. Some declare that the meat In the cocoanut is the amount of money the Yankees let go and nobody Is able to say. It s-eems that j neither fans nor scribes attach any particular Importance to the placrs , given up py the Yankees, the gist of the situation being. What did the ij Yankees get? Plank Is not seriously regarded In the trade, the main object !, of which appears to have been to get Pratt. It Is generally agreed that , Pratt is a mighty good ball player still, will be filled with new life on account of the change of Bcenery and will be In fine physical tilm this year. . The general deal is soaked by one critic on tho ground that It failed to help at all In curing the grea'test and most settled weakness of the Yanks n. lack of animation or "amblsli. The lack of color of New York American League teams might have been attributed to the wallop handed the dje Industry as a result of Germany getting Into tho war had It not been for tho fact that during the days when the dyestuffs were flowing freely the Yankee outfits were more colorless than a murky day when the snow is anowing overhead. . Pratt undoubtedly Is not a zippy ball placr. He Is smooth, easy and finished, and for this reason will fit Ideally In one sense Into the Yankee inflold harness, for Pecklnpaugh. Baker and Pipp arc plaers of like type. If there is any more color to bo Injected Into general play of the team It - will not come from second base; nor will It como from the pitcher's box when Eddie Plank Is performing. Eddio also Is a form person and will not Inspire the fans with ecstatic spasms of the kind that Ty Cobb is wont to r or eate. SO THAT if the Yanks arc going to have an infusion of the vital playing fluid to plug up the weakest spot In the outfit they will have to put over another deal. However. Ray Caldwell still Is on hand, and as long as the ubiquitous boxman retains membership In the squat) there always will bo at least one touch of the vermilion In tho otherwise painfully drab outfit.

Only two of the regular events, the intcrclub cbauiplonshlp nnd the dinner tournament, have been cut off the hip schedule. The llrst was diopped because of the lack of Interest Inst year, the second because nf the fcelluc that such a touitianicnt would not co well In cuuncctiou with the demand for tho con servation of food. Twenty-two of the thirty-two clubs fonnliiK the association were lepresented by delegates, a remark ably line showliic In view of the weather I conditions last night. at win uo n patriotic year in soir .noi only will the entry fees In the vaiious events go to the Ited Clow, but two days will he set aside as Ited Cross days, Me morial Day and the Konitb of July The clubs will hold any sort of tournament they please nil tlucc days, but the en trance money will be given to the Ited Ciosh, nnd where no entrance fee Is charged the clubs will be asKed to tax each plajcr a dollar for the Ited Cioss. The meeting-was held In the nellcvue Strntford, and If there was any sign of a protest against the possible drop p'ng of the tournament events the opening remarks of the president, Itobert W, Lesley, expressing the thoughts and sentiments of the executive committee, dispelled nil this. It was h very peace ful meeting and the delegates were evi dently well pleased with the attitude of the executive commltteo with reference to tournament play. No Time for Championships Mr. Lesley prefaced his remarks by saying that the executive committee had met previous to the meeting and had carefully gono over the local situation. The first thought, be said, was that no championships should be held this year. Inasmuch as a championship under war condition", with many of the men eligi ble to play either In national service or 'doing other Government work or asso elated with the IJed Cross, would mean nothing Jo the winner, and that no man with real led blood would caie to win a championship dining wartime. The feeling on the part of the execu tive committee was that nn amateur tournament could be field icstilcted to men eligible for the nmateur champion ship, having handle ips of ten strokes or J SXrfviJC.toX 1JILL IS A, HOLD-OUT Killefcr wnnts bonus before signing Cub contract. agers do not like a catcher who Is continually meeting with Injuries and breaking up team play.

The dinner and Interrbib tournaments vcere dropped. under, with no title, but the usual prizes and with the entrance money donated to the Fled Cross or some other war fund. With reference to the Suburban Cup scries the committee felt there was no reason why these friendly matches should be dropped, and the suggestion was that these matches be held tlili year as usual. Henry Strouse. of rhllmoiit, who has acted for several years as chairman of a committee In charge of the schedule of the Suburban Cup matches, suggested that the seeietnry bo asked to request each club Interested to send a delegate In meet some time before February 20 and discuss the whole question. With these delegates will meet the committee of Inst year, consisting of Mr. Strouse, V. S. Thorpe, of Frankford, and J. An derson floss, of Bala. Instead of teams of fourteen men.
