FIELD FOR THE YANKEES
viii Settle Down To That Position
After Pitching and Playing First
for Redsox

ATHENS. Ga, March lS-Harry
Wolters will be the Yankees right
fielder during the coming season. His
work has been OF such high order here
in the training camp that Manager
Stallings has come 10 that decision. II
seems Wolters has been signed up be-
fore by several clubs as pitcher. but
indications are that he will be first
class outfelder for the Yankees. Bert
Daniels was the player slated for that
position, but VOTERS has shown up in
such good form in all departments or
the game. that he will start the season
in that position.
II know | can make good in this
league IL know where | am going -
his way TO the ball groun is yesterday
afternoon. Every club that has
wanted my services before signed me
up as a pitcher. but | feel more at
home in the outfield."
When he was with the Fresno club
In 1906 he pitched two games a week
and played the other four games in
the outfeld In 1907 he was with Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and St Louis. and
was troubled with a bad leg. and this
is how he came TO jump 10 the outlaw
league in California. During a double
header against the Brooklyn club in
the first game he was at the bat FIVE
times and made four singles. and after
the game McClosley. who was man
ager of the club at that time. told Vol
tiers that outfielders would have 70
make longer hits than that. Wolters
then packed up and left. Last year
he was with the Boston Americans.
He pitched. played first base. and also
the outfield.

selves and the aggregation has be-
come a club instead OF a lot OF in
ditiduals. Manager Jennings took ad
vantage of the bad weather TO deliver
a little lecture on baseball "Don'ts'
inspired by some OF the mistakes and
mischances of the week.
Charley Schmidt happened in dur
ing the day. looking tit and in AS good
shape as ever. He has been playing
right along and Is down 10 weight.
After the youngsters get back 10

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March IS
II is noticeable fact that, regardless
OF the attention which he finds IL
necessary 10 give from time 10 time
to the other departments OF the train
ing OF the Tigers, Hughie Jennings
finds the most congenial work the
coaching of his two infelds. In fact,
il is doubtful IL there is a manager in
the American league who is capable
OF giving his men such valuable in
struction along this line as Jennings.
Himself one OF the greatest inhelders
who ever lived. Hughie recognizes
faults and virtues with an infallible
eye. More than anything else he loves
TO bat grounders 10 his men and see
them pull of fast plays.
Whenever the squad splits, the
regular inield is always with the
team which Jennings commands in
person. And. come 10 think. this isn't
all so very remarkable when one faces
the fact that hughie is now the only
American league manager who won
his spurs on the inheld, mis- rival man

In all probability. Hughes unique
distinction is a fortunate fact Tor the
Detroit baseball club. IL was his abii-

works were on the verge of dissolu-

which enabled him TO select from

possible measure which saved the
pennant for Detroit.
