There still are all kinds of uncertainty In the make-up of many blsr league clubs, and not until the opening of tho season wilt tho fans know Just what to expect. Even then they may be kept In tho dark. Wblle the so-called wheels of time keep turning, a few of the wise owners and managers have been putting through deals whereby they hope to get the Jump on tho other fellow when tho season starts One man has not overlooked anything In the way of strengthening his team, and that Is Owner Harry Frazee, of tho Red Sox. Last year It will be recalled that he went out and snared every available player through trades and cash con ehleratlons. He built up a team rapidly that played Its way to a pennant and a world's championship. Despite all these trades and counter-moves to help place clubs In range of the pennant, one celebrity almost has been forgotten. Not since the tall of 1916 have we hcaid much from this Individual. He Is still around and his status soon ought to be determined. "What has becomo of Jack Barry, former Mackman and later manager of tho Boston Red Sox? When he cast aside tho diamond togs for the blue uniform of Uncle Sam did ho sacrifice his post of honor with the Boston club? Whon last heard from Barry was said to bo suffering from an In. jured knee, received In a fall down the cellar at his home Recently it was aid, that Barry only had a light caso of water on tno Knee. TtTITH the uar over and Barrv mustered out of the senicc, u,ill " the fans again ee him in the role of manager, just Infielde) Barrv or simply CluHIan Barry, one-time big league star player nnd managert Barry Made Good During Stay With Boston BARRY went to the Red Sox, It Is said, by his own request at the start of the 1915 season. At the tune of his departure the Boston outlook was ndne too brilliant. With Barry tho team Jumped Into the game and battled Its way to the pennant and a victory over the Phillies In the world's series. The next year the Red Sox repeated their 1916 act, only using the Brooklyn Dodgers Instead of the Phils to take tho world's title. Carrigan retired at the end of 1916 and Jack Barry was named to succeed him. Jack did some great work, but had to bow to the White Sox and Kddle Collins for the pennant. At the close of the season Barry enlisted In the navy and remained there until he was mustered out ester day. 13d Barrow replaced Barry and made good in his first start. It Is true he had virtually a veteran team, but It required a few master trades to keep the club In tho running. Whether It was Barrow or rrazee who suggested them we do not know, but It Is a tact that tho trades were beneficial. Barry has not yet announced his retiremcrt from the game. It Is not believed he ever had any trouble with Frazee and there seems to be no apparent reason why he should remain away from the team. Perhaps Barry will be content to return and merely appear In the role of a second baseman and dace all the managerial burdens upon Barrow. I The veteran world's series hero must be given a chance, a square deal, or there Is likely to be a big howl. Barry is a big favorite not only in the Hub City and here, but all over the circuit. If he is sidetracked In faor of3arrow, Frazee and the bthcr owners must explain, and it must be some explanation. Barry Is popular with tho players, he knows how to handle his men and his presence on the club Is valuable. A" SOON as the holidays are over and the opening of the season I r nrejent manager. Will he pilot Boston in lOtO, or docs he just pos sess a contract with wartime stipulations and limitations? The fans must know. Frazee Has Corner on Player Market WHEN speaking about having plenty of high-class talent on the payroll, wo must turn to Harry Frazee's Red Sox and look over the personnel ot his club. He seems to bo very well fortified at first base with Stuffy Mclnnls, Dick Hoblltzell, Del Galnor and a rookie by the name of Bentley At second base he has Dick McNally, Harold Janvrln and Jack Barry. At shortstop Scott will be a fixture. Third, base is Just a little weak, with Thomas as the regular and Wally Schang as utility. In the outfield there we Amos Btrunk, Harry Hooper, Shorten, Whlteman and Gllhoo.cy, re cently obtained from tho Yanks. f While the Red Sox lost two great pitchers In Leonard and Shore. j their departure should not weaken the club to such a great exjent. Shore v was out of the game during 1918 and tne team came through. Barrow '..till has Babe Ruth, Carl Mays, Joe' Bush, Herb Pennock and Bader, in 'addition to Kay uaiaweu and sum Love, tne latter two arriving in the A recent trade. Caldwell apparently had outlived his usefulness as a Yankee And the change should benefit him. Love never did do much for the Yankees and may help Boston. Boston, with Ruth and Leonard, had two of the best southpaws In the game. It looks as though Barrow believes one good le't-hander Is enough or that Love has the makings of a good, reliable portslder. In the catch ,ing department tho Red Sox are very strong. They have Agnow and Wally Bchang for first string, with Walters, a promising youngster, to fill In. Walters did most of tho catching for the Yankees last season. ft '"N KJII'IjER IIVOOINB is more than elated with the trade, for it gave " him two great pitchers and a reliable outfielder. The exchange mi paper does not look any too good for Boston, but doubtless nar row feels that the new Umber will fit n. with his machine. " Star Boxers Heading for the Coast TUST now wo learn that the star eastern boxers are about to head for J tho coast Already It has been announced that Billy Gibson Is priming Leonard for a spin around the coast circuit to prove that the foUr-round game la easy for the lightweight champion. Now we also hear that Ted Kid Lewis, has Called off his scheduled trip to England and instead will rlve the coast a return enjjagement. Lewis did not meet with the same uocm which attended Leonard's triumphant march. The ruler of tho welters hopes to regain his lost prestige. ' j In order to keep along with tho headliners Lew Tendler has a chance ' to entertain the coast cash patrons. A few days ago a San Francisco pro i tter wired Glasaman an offer .for Tendler for throe four-round battles.

By EDWIN J. POLLOCK A MEDIOCRE runner last year and a champion this season. This Is, tho record of v Bill Cummlngs. the Tenn athlete, who wears the colors of the Meadowbrook Club when he Is not com peting for the lied and Blue. Cummlngs was a. member of Penn'a hlll-and-dale squad, which copped the Intercollegiate championship In the fall of 117, but he was not considered any thing more than a good runner. Since that tlmo "William has developed Into a star, and he Is the favorlto for the Mid dle Atlantis title, which will be staked at the senior run In Falrmount Park tomorrow afternoon. At the bcglnlng of this year Cum mlngs showed championship form. He was the Individual pinner In two Tenn dual meets. He has been beaten only once this season and then only because ho went back to coach some of his team mates Laat Saturday Cummlngs won the Junior Middle Atlantic title handily and beat a fast field In doing so.

There is little doubt about Meadow brook winning the 'team championship In the Middle Atlantic senior run to morrow. The 'Wanamalcer boynlhave monopoly on the title, so that Interest centers on the individual winner. So far Samuol J.
