JACK MINIS, ATHLETICS GREAT UTILITY
INFIELDER
nothing-eXcept to state that when
Mr.. Davis cannot play first base for
the Athletics Wen have somebody
there that can"
However, there are several signifi-
cant things connected with morning
practice which tend to point to Nc
lnnis as the man in reserve for the
first sack. During the morning Nc
lnnis can be seen practicing around
bag No. l. Every now and then be-
fore regular game you can see him
on first going through the signals.
1t has long been problem where
Connie Mack would find a place for
such rattling good man as the little
chap from Gloucester, Mass. McInnis
Is no outfielder, and there is no room
for him at second. short or third, so
the probabilities are that before the
season is half over he will replace
Harry Davis.
AS hitter McInnis measures up to
a high standard. For his knowledge
OF the game, his ability TO fathom the
attack of the other fellow, to call the
turn on his play. he stands with few
superiors in the American league.
Cannot one predict that this boy,
trained in such manner, will de-
velop into another Eddie Collins?
Then within season or two Connie
Mack will have the slickest young in
teld in the nation.

method is to turn the sod three or
four inches deep and then to drag it
lightly with a spike-toothed harrow,

Any shallow breaking of sod land,
except in the case Of sandy land,
should be regarded as a makeshift, for
it does not permit of the best storage
