...third inning, with two men on, fan famed Hitters Rogers Hornsby and Hack Wilson with a total of seven pitched balls. Every delivery, made with a sidearm motion wide of the box, kept the ball lined against a blind spot, made by some extra bleachers in the green outfield, which Ehmke had noticed in practice. Rallying behind him, the Athletics took enough hits from Chicago Pitcher Charley Root...
Even more sensational than Player Ott has been Player James Emory Foxx, present first baseman of the "Athletics." A versatile youth, he can play any position except the pitcher's, was used at third base (his favorite spot), in the outfield and at catching before settling down in his present position.

This year he has joined...

He will be flanked in the other outfield positions by two more former leaders, George Owen '23 and C. L. Todd '27. H. L. Nash '16 at first base and G. E. Abbot '17 complete the quintet of captains who will start the game. The latter never really led a team in action because the year for which he had been chosen captain found the War interrupting intercollegiate athletics and closing his college baseball career...
