IS FAST BECOMING VETERAN

Jack Barry of Red Sox Starts on Ninth Year in Major League Harness— Star at Short. Jack Barry of the Red Sox is fast becoming a veteran of the big leagues. This is Jack’s ninth year in big league harness. Jack went from Holy Cross college to the Athletics and for a half dozen years was the brilliant short field artist on Connie Mack’s team. He was one of the important cogs in that great baseball machine which Mack built up and which for several seasons

was supreme in baseball. Since he went to the Red Sox a couple of seasons ago Jack has played the second bag. Recently he was put out of the game through an accident and Mike McNally was substituted to fill the keystone position. If the latter shows up well he may replace the veteran at the second bag.
