If the Sox are struck by Injuries It will be very sad, as the reserves are nothing much. Harry Hooper. 15 years In the big league«, and Johnny Mostil are miss ing from the outfield. Both are holdouts. Hooper was cut heavily In salary. Information from his home, Capitoln, Cal., is that lie will not be back. Mostil has been negotiating for a Job with an Industrial league in the middle west. . The outfield will be composed of the fleet Maurice ' Arch Deacon In center, Bill Barrett or Roy Kish In left and either Amos Slrnnk, the old ster, or Roy Ostergard, from Galves ton, in right.

Davenport, are other pitching pros peels, hut have yet to show real stuff. If two of them come through, the situation will be all right. Other wise it will he gloomy. T.eon Cadore. formerly of Brooklyn, will be used r.s a relief man If he comes around good. The infield will see Sheelv at first, Collins at second. Harvey McClellan at short, and Kanun at third. Colllna is preparing for his 13th season, hut he’s smashing the 1 tall and fielding nicely after only a week in camp. McClellan does well afield, but Isn't a good hitter. The best looking rookie. Admiral Martin, a shortstop from Quebec, has not excited anyone. Speaking of injury, the biggest blowup would be an accident to Bay Schalk, star catcher. Clyde Crouse, who oam» up front Muskegon last season, and Joe Burns, a youngster from Shreveport, have lots to learn. They ran t begin to compare with the veteran first stringer.
