The only exception to this

noble assets in this respect. Fro
iMnrlierl'y. or the Senators. is an out-
standing example of the value of a
pitcher who can jump in and stop

George Connolly, of the White Sex.

regular is hurt is his specially.
When playing with the Giants he
often Jumped in and'played a game
thcbrillance of which made tans
andplayers forget the regular man.
In one world series he was all
over the diamond and by his sec.-
end base play| and timely hitting
loomed up as the star of series.
When Eddie Collins was hurt and
had to rot o from the game last
season the‘ ox dropped from third
position to t‘ih. With a utility man
as capable as 'Rawiings the Sex
would have no doubt remained in
third place with all even chance of
beating out the Athletics for sec-
end.
This is no reflection on Bill Bar-
.i-ilt who substituted for Collins. as
he did all that could be expectcdiet
him.
Bill is a. natural outlielder and a
aim or enough ball player to do well
at second although he was out or his
position
It often happens that play etc who
are able to put up a good gains in

It reguires constant practice in
one position to become reliable and
reach stardom in the National game.
' Long" George Kelly ot the Giants
has shown exceptional ability to
Jump from first base to the outfield
then to second base and do tine
work in all three positions. Never-
theless his natural position is at first
base where he is'mest valuable to
the team.
Barry McCormick new ' coaching
baseball at the West Point ‘tliiltary
Academy was a truly great pinch—
llltter. “'hlie "with the Giants the
“Moose" compiled a record {er con—
secutive safe hits in‘ihc roll or re-

Over confidence may be the cause

According to past performances
the Indians should easily (like the
stories. The Lila Guards have been
ill "a. bad slump fer the last month.
They were beaten by the Stratiord
Legion and than Just barely won the
other three games. one in an over
time period. The Guards defeated
the Blessed Sacraments by a small
score, when a. big margin should
have existed.
The Red Men‘on the other hand
have been setting the basketball
world on ilre. They held the
Renaissance Big Five to a close
score. They took the Manhattan
Colic-glans and New York llui.k~.rs
into camp. which is something oi an
accomplishment. '
The Indians were scheduled to
put in a stilt practice session last
Friday night and Sunday morning
at the Armory. Two of the veteran
players or the ltcd Men failed to re-
port tor practice. Their action is
unexplainable. These two men may
be kept out of tlle.first game. or ill
least they may not be started.
Eddie Quinn was the only Life
Guard player who did not practice
at the armory. He was out of town
and could not attend the drill. Both
teams put in a hard workout and
looked good to the few (one who
watched them.
