With ex-senator Jimmy Rogers in charge
as 1hanager-captain, local fans naturIly
feel an interest in the Louisville Club.
Everybody hopes that Jimmy VIII meet
with success, for as a popular player none
ever took rank over him while be wore Il
Washington uniform.
SO far as the makeup Of the Louisville
team is concerned IL will be but little
changed from that closing last season s
contest With the addition OF Werden at
first and the transfer of Rogers to second
the club officials believe that with five
men regularly in the team batting over 300
the ColOnes can pull themselves out
of the hole to which they have clung SO
tenaciously for several seasons. Pickering,
Werden, Clarke. McCreery and Doian. to
Judge from their fast work, will hit very
near. not above. the 300 mark, and with
the batting strength of the catcher the
KentuCkians VIII be more formidable in
tina; respect.
The transfer Of McCreery TO second and
Rogers TO third, with Holmes to cover
right, was suggested and has been con
sdered by Manager Rogers, but the latter
has definitely decided to make no change
In the team. ClingInan,s fielding saved
Louisville from several defeats last year,
md it is thought, as he now hits left-handed,
he VIII be able to beat many infield hits
to the initial bag. His work SO far in
batting left handed indicates that he VIII
he much more successful than i'll tie CON
verse position.
