Manager Frank will likely carry six
pitchers and utility infielder until
May 1. when the league rules compel
all clubs to be within the fifteen-man
limit. The league season opens on
April Is, and Frank will likely give
HIS extra twirler a ffteen-dAy tryout

rying the whole season.
1t Is possible that Frank will carry
six pitchers the whole season long,
and drop the utility man. Hess is q
good first baseman, IL he should be
needed, and Dexter can be switched
to short or second. apd can play q
good game there.
Still 1t is possible that Frank will
carry FIVE pitchers, two catchers, four
infieldefs and four outfielders. He now
has four good fie1ders and Steve Rea-
gan can play a good game in the in
field. Reagan is a good hitter, and IL
he does not land a permanent job in
the outfield he would be valuable
man as utility player. both because OF
his all-around playing ability and be-
cause Of his hitting.
Frank will say nothing as to what
he Is going to do. but before the sea-
son opens he will undoubtedly cut his
force down to within one or two of
the limit as he will hardly carry i've

1t all depends on how well the pitchers
show up. This much Is pertain--Berm-
inEham's outfield and infield will be
well cared for; the catchers are able;
the team will hit fairly we'll, and will
run bases.
Add to this the youth and ambition of
the players and the prevalence OF good

Rall Plarera Not wia..

Sport writer's for long time have
commended that baseball players know
less about scoring rules Than the av-
eTaKe fan. and the fan knows little
enough. Even an old-timer like Dusty
Miller was fooled by one play in Sun
days game between the Chicago Cubs
with Chance on first. Baerwald dropped
6teinfeldt's fly. but quickly recovered.
and threw to second. forcing Chance.
Dusty eontended that inasmuch as the
batter reached first on the play. where
he would have been retired had not the
ball been dropped, Baerwald should be
scored with an error and an assist.
This Identical play is covered specifl-
&, rule IS. which reads:
"In event OF q fielder dropping q fly
bali, but recovering the ball IN time 70
force batter at another base. he shall
be exempted from an error, the play
being scored es a force-out"-Mem-
phis News Soi1niter.

The fact that ball games are. some
times won because players are agrees
stve and light for their rights cannot
be denied. A team that Is always In
the scrap and puts up q howl on bad
decisions wins many more games than
a team composed OF players who take
everything without q murmur. or
course rowdy tactics are all to the bad
in this time and day but then a player
can take exception to. the ruling. OF an
umpire without becoming insulting or
rowdy. II player thinks Q decision
given Is wrong he should say SO and
not be afraid of a fine. He should say
1t in nice manner. however, and the

the team that draws the crowd and no
one likes to see team that continually
takes everything handed them. A
scrappy player shows also that he has
the Interest of the game at heart. Take
the college game. Everybody knows

IL any one has seen these games they
no doubt have noticed how many YER

fact, feeling becomes 30, high at times
that colleges refuse to play each other
