SARASOTA. Fla. Feb. 29.——The
first of the Giant Rookies to loom
up favorably in the daily workouts
ot the advance guard is not one of
the highly touted and reasonably
high priced pitchers, but Fred Lind-
etrom. infielder. Very little fun: has
been made about LindArom since his
purchase by the Giants. but unless
evidence now being given by him on
the field is deceptive, he's going to
be quite a ball player in the very
near future. It may be. of course.
that he's just another “spring phe-
nom,”~who will fade out of ugh‘ t
with the passing of the weeks be-
tween now and the opening of the
season. but this isn't probable. He
isn't flashy enough for a.
phenom.” Be handles himself too
b
' easily and too well.
Linden-om. who is only 20 years
of age, has had n decidedly limited
expeflenee. Little more than a year
ago Jake Weimar. old time pitcher.
discovered him playing with the Loy-
ola Prep School in Chicago and told
John HcGraw about him. Weirnar’e

tive of managers in the matter of
training young pitchers. rema'rked
that this wasn't likely and ventured
the opinion that a yw or two in
the minors would add to the boy's
value. The Giant manager then got
in touch with Roger Bremahan’ and
at his suggestion Breannhan signed
Lindstrom for the Toledo club, p05!-
ing him at second base. “n lzld

Coaches Cozy Dolan and Frank

upon to do a great deal. but he has
done his little on.” well that he is
the object of much favorable cem-
mgit. Lindstrorn even has the other
players talking about him. which is
no mean achievement, since players
usually are so busy with their own
work that they don't often talk about
each other. '
The plan seems to be to convert
Lindstrom from a second baseman
into a shortstop. which shouldn‘t be
diaicult of accumplishing {or two
reasons. The first is that. not having
played second base for very long.
Fred is not expected to find the shirt
much of an inconvenience. as some-
times is the case when a player has
been anchored in one position over
‘a stretch of many seasons. The sec~
and in that he seems better suited
to playing shortstop than second
base. He's big and rangy and cor-
er: a lot of‘ground with apparently
no ea'ort at all. being able to get
to right or left with equal facility.
Furthermore, he has a splendid
team at the short field instead of at
second base.

Certainly. Llndstrom coma to the
team at an opportune time. granted
he is the player his early workouts
stamp him. The'elevation of Travis
Jackson to a regular berth. coinci-
dent with the transfer of Dave Ban-
croft to Boston. left the GL‘hhtS with
only one utility infielder in the per-
son of Fred Linguine. McGl'aw is
not the manager to start a season
with such dearth of reserve material
if it is possible for him to do other-
wise. particularly since in the 135.!
two seasons he has had to make fre—
quent substitutions in his infield. He
will be looking tor “another emer-
