Last season Chick didn't do much with
the willow, but he is expected to show
marked improvement If allowed to get

plenty of power for driving the ball when

who have broken into the big league in
one position only to find their forte in
another? 1t begins to look so.
Ever since he has been old enough to
catch and throw a ball Chick has been
playing third base, with occasional shifts
to short and second. In the Central High
School, Detroit, he was a third sacker
and when he went to Michigan he was
put in the old familiar place. playing one
year on the freshmen team and one year
on the varsity.
When he came to the Tigers it was as

becoming a regular. He was tried at
short and second at various times last
season when men were injured. but didn't
make success of either of those posi-
tons. Chick really hasn't the right
