 It Is remarks able how quickly fans can form opinions on ball players First impressions are by no means lasting impressions, though for fans are changeable as our February wealth .. For instance, a good many fans have already made up their minds that Huesman can't field his position like Joe Rickert did. He misjudged a fly in left field Sunday and vas a little fence behind him. When some of the fans left the park they had fully made up their minds that Huelsman wouldn't

 It takes man some time to get on to the little tricks of that field. It took Joe Rickert some time to get on to it and 1t must be said re Joe's credit that no other man ever flelded that place like he did. Rickert is naturally fast. but his ability to field the posi- ton so thoroughly. while all other left helders were up in the air, was due to his long practice of II.
 In order to field the position satis. afctorily the left fielder must figure out almost at the crack of the bat | just where the ball Is going. and that g a little more difficult out there than | anywhere else for the reason that it is the sun field and the ffelder's sight is
