Announcement by the navy department that It soon will release a hundred hun-dred thousand men, or practically one-third of its forces, is good news to the Boston American league club, for Ited Sox players, as is well remembered, showed a great fancy for sea life when the war came to call them from the diamond. Here are three brave sailor laddies who soon may be changing their navy blue for the old Red Sox uniforms and each one of them can be used to advantage. Shorten in his brief service with the club showed a lot of class. Kverybody knows what sort of a first baseman Gainor is. And why speak of Kruie Shore there is no better pitcher. Shore has said he might stick to the navy, but Boston fans hope not. They think that he would look much better in the box than on the quarter deck even. |
