DIAMOND DOPE

Frank Laporte, the fat second base
man Of the st. Louis Browns. was the
only second-sacker to make more err
rors than Bill Cunningham last year.
Cunningham fozzled 30 times in IS
games, while Laporte booted the pill
90 times in 1873 battles.
Jimmy Austin's magnificent third
base work for the st. Louis Browns
last season Is still the talk Of the cir
cult. When the Yankees traded him
for Roy Hartzeli, It was thought the
Omaha wonder was "done" In the big
show. lie came back with a rush and
looked as good as the best Of them last
season.
Although Clyde Engle, the large sized
utility fielder Of the Boston Red Sox,
Ia credited with playing only first base
and third base last year, he really
played every position on the team ex-
cept the battery place. Engle Is one
OF the best utility men in the country,
though he finds 1t hard work to keep In
shape.
