I’d feel comfortable going to battle with this team against any of the others mentioned. The Collins McCarthy type sets of 1917 might even be slightly better, losing Lajoie but gaining Hornsby. With that group I would play Hornsby at second and Collins at third.

Good point here about Lajoie playing third base. I hadn't considered that angle, but it only strengthens my '33 Goudey selections because I can substitute Jimmy Foxx for Bill Dickey at catcher. So my lineup now looks like this:
1B Gehrig
2B Hornsby
SS Vaughn
3B Traynor
C Foxx
RF Ruth
CF Speaker
LF Ott
LP Grove
RP Dean
