CHANGE BOOSTS
LARRY'S STOCK

New Orleans, March 26.-Frank
Chance, the Peerless Leader" of the
Chicago Cubs, thinks Larry Lajoie will
become a great first sacker. He had a
good chance to watch the work of the
big Frenchman around the initial bag
during the series between the Cubs
and Maps here last week. Chance is a
COCA critic of first sackers. His view
is that OF an expert, -or he is rated
withSE4al Chase as the greatest first
baseman in the game today. Here is
Chances opinion:
Larry ought to become one of the
greatest first basemen in the game He
has all the requisites of a first base
man, the natural and physical ability
and the brains. He uses all of them
| just right. The truth of the matter is
that Laioie could go to any ball play
er by birth, and no matter where he
is played he will be there with the
goods.
The most important thing about
lplaying first base is the footwork. A
first sacker has to be able to handle
his feet in lightning style. He has
to shift his feet for nearly every throw
made to him. He seldom stands in
exactly the same position twice in a
single game.
Lajoie does not reem to have any
trouble shifting his position for diff
lferent throws. That is one remark
able thing about his work. Any mar
going to first base for the first time
or after he has become accustomed tc
Ianother position would naturally fine
the shifting hard. but Larry does II
so easily and naturally that stranger
could never tell he had not always
been playing the position.
Larry should not be bothered abou
taking bad throws out of the dirt
because he has had to handle lot o
bad throws and wicked drives during
Ibis work around second base. TIL,
bigger mitt used at first may bother
him for a little times but that,will no
amount to much, for ball playe
like him will not be long in becoming
accustomed to his glove. 1t is harde
Ito dig up a bounce with big NIT
than with a finger glove.
There is no reason why Lajoi
should not become one of the creates
first basemen the game has eve
known. MY tip is that he will be jus
as good at first as he ever was a
second and everybody knows how h
ranked as a second ~nci-ar.

key are much discouraged over the
outlook for the coming season with
Billy Sullivan out of the game. The
veteran catcher will not be able ia
play BAH for many months, even II he
lis able to ever don the mask again. II

Mrs Sullivan has confided to her
friends that she is afraid her husband

1t Is not a question of losing a

Love SICKNESS
NO BAR IN BALL

New Orleans, March 26.-Sam Ken
nedy of the Cleveland club is not one
of the big league scouts who refuse to
pick UP younster who has symptoms
of Iovesickness When he goes scout
ing he looks for ball players, and b.
inquiries into their habits, but he does
not turn down at prospect just because
he may be having day dreams of a
lady love.
Some good young ball players lose
chances to break into the majors be-
cause their habits are not good. A
scout from the big show not only
watches a performer on the diamond
but gets good peep into his life off
the field. Some scouts will not take
young fellow who is in love, for fear
he will think more about the girl hi
| left behind than about baseball.
Just so he's ball player and has
good habits" says Scout Kennedy
who has picked about as many young
sters who developed into real stars al
