DUFFY, AN OPTIMIST, THINKS HIS RED SOX WILL SURPRISE FANS Former Members of Champion Boston Team Scattered All Over American League Tough Job for New Pilot to Finish in First Division Ily ROBERT W. MAXWELL, Sport a Editor Krenlni Public Idrr Hot Springs, Ark., Murcli i!u. WHAT is kit of tlie once champion Red Sot baseball club Is training faith fully hero in Whltlngton Park. Ho Is in good condition and admits he vv 111 have the greatest oeason In his career. He, meaning the last of the cham pions, vhlch Is a way of introducing Everett Scott, is surrounded by an entirely new cast inllcld, outfield, catchers and most of the pitchers. The team has been scattered nil over the American League, the stars having been sold from time to time until the brilliant shortstop alone remains. Speaker is in Cleveland, Duffy Lewis is in Washington, Harry Hooper, In Chi cago, which accounts for the great outfield. Larrv Gardner Is starring at third base for Cleveland, and Jack Barry, who was fold to the Athletics, refuieU to report; Chick Shorten Is playing with Detroit with Dutch Leonard, the peerless southpaw. Ernie Shore has passed out of the big show via New York, and Carl Mays and "Wolly Schnng have donned Yankee uniforms. And last but not least, Babe nuth Is breaking home run and attendance records on the I'olo Grounds. TIT U AT a ball club notion would have had 1 thctc stars irere on YV the team this year. One by one these were disposed of. thti team wrecked, until note, the only reminder of tho glory of the past it Everett Scott. All New Faces ONE cannot help but recall the team of yesterday, when gating upon the lOHl representatives of the Red Sox. New faces are everywhere. John Collin and Nemo I.elbold. who were with the White Sox until traded for Harry Hooper, arc in tlw outfit with Tim Hcndrlx, since with New York, and Mike, Menosky, who was taken from Washington. Eddie Foster, of the Senators, and Oscar Vilt. of Detroit, are filling In the Infield, and in ti day or so Derrlll l'ratt will cavort at second base. , , "Stuffy" Mclnnls is a holdout at the time this story is being written, but he will be back In the line-up or traded before the season starts. Just the same, the Red Sox arc starting out this year filled with confidence. The plajcrs believe they have a first division ball club, nnd nothing can change thcu- minds. They believe the trade which brought Collins and Llebold to Boston in place of nooper was a good one, nnd the combined strength of the Chieagonnu will more than offset the ability of the star right fielder and captain. A new manager is in charge, Hugh Duffy, the old outfielder, who was successful at Harvard, and last year developed a great ball club at Toronto. This Is Duffy's first appearance in the American League ns n manager, nnd everybody is hoping he will make good. His first move proved to be n wite one. He Mgncd Jjmmy Burke, manager of the St. Louis Browns last year, to act as his assistant, nnd Jimmy will help considerably. He knows the ins nnd outs of the league and will keep his boss posted. PRACTICE is held twice a day doicn heie, and the men are respond ing to the strenuous treatment. Some progress is being made, but the deielopinent of the team has been retarded because of the holdouts. They did not return until late and missed the early tcork. Duffy an Optimist MANAGER Dl'FKr is highly optimistic over his chances this year. "My pitching staff with Sam Jones, Joe Bush, Elmer Meyers, Benny Karr, Herb Pcnnock and Thormahlen will be very effective," he said, "and there are several youngsters who arc likely to come through. If all of the Infield return Mclnnis will be on first; l'ratt, second; Scott, short; Vltt. third, and Eddie Foster utility mnn. The outfield will be Hcndrlx, left; Collins, center, and Leibold. right, with Menosky alternating with Hendrlx when right-hand pitchers are used. The catching staff might be stronger, but I believe Ruel nnd Walters will take enre of it." .... ... . t . You can't blame Huffy for taking n cheerful view of the future, but before lie can make predictions his holdouts must come back and get Into shape for the championship battle. The team might step along nnd finish in the first division, but It will be a tough job. There are other clubs In the league that have something to say about it. THERE ate fete youngster on the club. Of the seven lid pitchers, Fullcrton, who p'ayrd with Tcsrcau's Hears last year; CUB Best. a southpaw from California; Ernest Xcit:lc, of London, Ont., and Frank Talcntt, the Yale pitcher, who made a tirilHaiit record t'u 1918. seem to be the best. Al Clayton, who is six feet seven, and hails from Devton, 0., probably will return, as icill Bromcell, of A'oto Scotia, and George Carman, a midget left-hander, from London, Ont., whn teon twenty-five and lost three games last year. Carman is too small and too wild for the fast set at this writing. He might improve. Outlook ?one Too Good CLARK riTTINGEIt, another London, Ont , recruit, is said to be a great player, but he doesn't prove it on the diamond. The kid exploded in the practice games and erased himself from the picture. Harvey Hlller and Cliff Bradv. last year's utility men, arc on the job and will stick. Sam Vlck. who went to the Red Sox from the Yankees in tho Schnng -Hnrper-McNally deal, was an early holdout, but will be used as a utility out fielder. John Buckley, n Worcester aemlpro, looks good, but needs more ex perience, and the same goes for Harry Kearnan, of the Eastern League. PEMTAl'S Boston wtll spring a big surprise this year, but I can't set it. The going will be rough for the team, which ha been de prived of its stars m the last few years.

PAULETTE BARRED BY JUDGE ANDTHEN HE TOOK UP TODDLING LAI Baseball Commissioner Rules Philly First Sacker Out of Organized Baseball IS ON INELIGIBLE LIST Chicago, March 25. Gene Pnulettc. first bnemnn for the Phillies, has been declared Ineligible to play In organized bascbnll by Commissioner K. M. LandU because he failed to explain to the sat isfaction of the commissioner some financial deals he hnd in 1010 with Elmer Fnrrar nnd Carl Zork, of St. Louis. The banishment of Pnulettc wna an nounced by Judge Lnndls in a formal statement, which follows: "Player Eugene A. Paulette admitted that he received money from Elmer Farrar, of St. Louis, ns a lonn, which he has not repaid ; that this money was given to him by Fnrrar some time after an interview with Fnrrar nnd another St. Louis mnn named Carl Cork, in which Interview Fnrrar nnd Zork urged Pnulettc to co-operate with them in crooked gambling on ball games, to be thrown by this phycr. "Subsequently Pauletto wrote to Fnr rar asking for more money, which he did not obtain. In this letter Paulette mentions the names of two other ball players whom, he claimed, he could get to co-operate with him. In statement to the commissioner, Paulette denied nbsolutcly that he had nn.v justification whatever for thus using the names of these players, nnd nsserlcd that so. far ns hn knew they were honest men. "Paulette denies Kint he has ever thrown a ball game nnd asserts thnt during the last playing season he held himself nloof from corrupting nssocia tions, but the fnct remains that he offered to betray his team nnd that he put himself In the vicious power of Farrar and Zork. "He will go on the ineligible list." The names of the two St. Louis men implicated in Pnulettc'ii confession nre well known to nil who nrc fnmlllnr with the grand Jury investigation of tho baseball bcandals. "Isn't it a shame," said Commis sioner Landis, "that wc can't get men like these two? I would rather convict and punish two crooked gamblers thnn fco "Inellgibilizc" a hundred ballplayers. It would do the game more good, too." Baseball Happenings San Antonio The Detroit American! break camp hero tonight and start en their round f practice nmti with Texas and Western clubs.
