third baseman by natural equipment
and by continual practice.
Considerable injustice has been
done to Lathers by the necessity that
arose last year for playing him at sec
ond base and short stop. Chick" can't
cover enough ground for these two
points. He Is a wonder at hard-hit
balls. driven within the reach of a
step or two, but he has never learned
to range widely and scoop up slow
grass-cutters. He was never asked to
NIL in at first, however.
This year Gainor will undoubtedly
start the season at first base. Hughie
Jennings has determined to keep an
extra Businessman ready all the year
and had intended to retain John Ness
for this reason. With OLeary and
Corcoran for infield utility stunts, IL
looked as IL there was no place for
Chick-a view strengthened by the
statements OF Manager Jennings and
the renewed endeavor OF the Detroit
club to secure waivers on him and
turn him over to Buffalo.
But, just as Hughie was ready tn
announce this plan as final long.
headed Chick began to fuss around
that first bag, borrowing George
tMoriarty's pancake mitt for the pur.
pose. To the surprise OF the natives
Chicks hrst-base play looked mighty
good. On ground balls and on his
throwing, Chick did wonderfully well
He was naturally bit slow in learn
ing to handle the big mitt, but he pick
ed It up rapidly and was soon stickin,
out one paw and grabbing wild,
throws.
