When 1922 rolled around. Guisto
had completely recovered from his
war disability. He made the grade at
the Cleveland camp. and what‘s more.
he stuck all season.
But there was more disappoint-
merit. "Stuffy" Mclnnls had been
purchased by the lndtans. and Guisto
had a fat chance of crowding him
off the regular lineup. He crippled a
foot. too. to make matters worse. In
the 24 games Guisto did get Into last
season he fielded .995. or just below
Mclnnis and Judge. who tied for first
basemen's honors in the American
league.
Release of Melanie this ygar made
things brighter for Gulsto. The race
narrowed to Guisto and Frank Brow"-
er.
Now they're alternating. Gulsto
