The Yank skipper, had ex pected such tidings and planned accordingly, but coming on top of similar news on Oscar Grimes and Johnny LindeU's imminent induction,. It may force consider able shuffling. If Etten . and Lindell go, the vaunted Yankee power of by gone days will be strictly a one man act-by George Stirnwelss, 4-F but also up for re-examination. If Grimes also goes, Mc Carthy will be up against it for a first sacker.- Emerson Rosers six shutout innines in yesterday's 8-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox must have been some comfort to Marse Joe for his title chances lean heavily on the pitching staff.
