Jimmy Webb stands out pro-emi-
nent for a position in Connie Mack’s
infield. Whether Mack intends to use
Walsh as a substitute indeldehfiss well
as outfielder, he has not yet: stated.
Nevertheless, Walsh has been working
on the infield ever since the opening
day of spring practice. ,_
He has played on the diamond in a
number of contests in the Arnerlcnn
. leesu‘b already and always has made
good. For some reason he does not
seem to have been considered serious-

field. Yet he is a good infielder.
