"Johnny Evers with Teammates"

Original caption: In the camp of the Boston players down here, the "Braves" as the boys are called are working like Trojans to get into shape for the trying season which is now almost upon us. Playing ball may seem fun to the man who plays it on his afternoon off, but its no fun when you do it for a living as is evidenced by the practice games seen here. The photo shows three of the "Braves" on the "anxious seat" who are wondering what will be the result of the deal which is now in progress and involves these players: Left to right: Johnny Evers, Bill Sweeney and Hub Perdue.
