Jt> * * Ali*From Red Sox An interesting'sidelight ki connec tion with the Yankee hutTlng corps Is that every one of them first emerged to the limelight of feturdoin with the Boston Red Sox or the Philadelphia Athletics. Peanock, who led the American League pitchers through the 1923 season, became a member of Connie Mack's Athletics In 1912 and re mained with the team until 1916 when he went to Ibe Red Sox. He was acquired hy the Yankees from the Boston club in a trade last Spring in exchange for several youngsters. Jones, called "Sad Sam,” played with Cleveland In 1914 und 1915 hut 1916 found him with the Red Sox, where he remained until 1921. The Yankee tradesmen were busy again that year and "Sad Sam” became a New Yorker. He wasn't at his best in 1922, but 1923 brought-shim hack to the top and he lias done every thing in the pitching line, including a no-hit game against the Athletics and some others almost as good. Shawkey Comes Up Shawkey was a member of the Ath letics from 1913 lo 1915. He came to the Yankees in 1915 when Colo nels Ruppert and Huston began ■ building up their star combination | and haH been a regular ever since.1 His pitching arm worked exceeding I ly well this year.

In 1921 he donned' a Yankee uniform and was one of the1 stars of the season. He won two; games and lost a close one in the 1921 world’s series. He was more or less of an in-an-outer last year but regained some of his great form in 1923. Bush, a Mackman from 1912 to 1917 and a Red Stocking from 1918 to 1921, became a Yankee in 1922 in another New York-Boston trade. He was a star of stars In, the 1922 season for the Yankees but a surprising failure in the world's series with the Giants.
