Should William Bailey, who lets
60 with the left, be given another
trial with the Brownies7 Bailey's rec
ord last season was 3-18, O mark sufi-
ciently rank TO send any pitcher back
into the thickest OF the brush; but
when Col. Hedges asked for waivers
on Bailey, just seven clubs refused
to let him get away. And whyf Be
cause these clubs think Bailey has the
makings Of a pitcher.
Bailey now weighs TIA pounds,
about 80 more than he ever weighed
before. Furthermore, Sir William,
the once Texas sapling. has gone on
record as saying he will pitch his
arm OF for Bobby Wallace. That was
before Wallace was named manager.
Now the Job belongs to the Scot and
Mr.. Bailey reiterates that he Will
wear his left arm OF its hinges for
Manager Rhoderick.
Now what should be done with
Baileyf The mere fact that other
clubs refuse to waive on him empha-
sizes williams worth. Bailey claims
that Bailey couldn't have done better
under O'Connor and admits that he
did not try last season. Some per-
sons say that Bailey couldn't have
done better because he's not pitcher.
Well, these wise geeks evidently
know better than Hughie Jennings
and Connie Mack, either OF whom Is
willing to give Bailey a chance.
II Bailey Is good enough for Mack
or Jennings, he's good enough for us,
so let's keep him. He is heavier and
has a better chance to make good.

n Where are the American league
/, managers going to play the host OF
|Iinheld recruits that they have pur-
'chased and drafted since last sum
liner? Are they merely going TO look
Them over and then turn them back
'flor future reference, or Will they car

men? There Is scarcely an American
league leader that has not signed up
two or more young infielders and yet
The real vacancies throughout the
circuit are mighty scarce.
In fact, a few OF the American in
aelds will be made up just the same
this year as last, and the opportun-
ities of the recruits are not what
could be deemed very bright. For
instance, what chance has recruit
got Of breaking into Connie Macks

die Collins, Jack Berry and Frank
Baker on the job? Yet. Connie has
several youngsters he Is grooming Tor
places I'm his infield without taking
McInnes and Hauser, last years subs,
into consideration. Hogan Is a nrst
baseman and, according 10 Coast
league reports, Is a better man than
Hauser, who has been tipped on as
Harry Davis successor. Derrick set
the world ablaze with his work at
short in the Carolina league and hair
dozen big league scouts were after
him. Still he will have to go some 10

with the exception of first base,
Comiskey has his infield practically
decided upon I'm a measure. Harry
Lord Is fixture at third base. Either
Zeider or Blackburne will play short
and either Zeider or Mcconnell sec
.ond. For first, Commy has Jiggs Don
ohue and Tex Jones. Not much
chance for any OF the other recruits
to break I'm there.
Hal Chase has men OF experience
for, all his infield jobs, but at that
one youngster may break In. In fact,
there are two of the Yankee recruits
who are considered as having chances
TO become regulars, They are john
son at short and Elliott at third.
Chase has a surfeit OF fnfielders and
Is well fortified against accidents.
While his regular lineup will prob
ably be Chase at first, Knight at sec

The team II will have TO be a phenom.
The same conditions Is true at De-
troit, where Delehanty, Bush and
Moriarty will retain their jobs TO the
exclusion of the recruits, thus leaving
first base the only position for which
a battle will be waged by the recruits
Ness and Gaynor are the men who

Central league recruit. Cleveland
had an option on him last summer
and passed him up.
But there Is one club In the league
where youngsters will receive amble
opportunity TO display their talents.
That Is at st. Louis, which had but
one real infielder when the season OF
1910 came to an end. That one was
Bobby Wallace, now manager. Bobby
can play second, short or third In
skillful manner, but not all three at
the same time. Just who will hold
down the other jobs this year Is
mystery. Very likely Wallace and
Hedges would be tickled to death IL
they themselves knew. They have a
first baseman and a second sacker
from the Cotton States league who
may do, and Wallace may develop a
third baseman from among the BIZ
of youngsters drafted and purchased.
But the outlook is not very promising
BY this resume II can be seen that
the opportunities for any but phenom-
email youngsters are decidedly limited.
In a nutshell the situation can be sum-
med up by saying Cleveland needs q
shortstop, Boston, Washington. Chica-
go and Detroit each first baseman,
with st. Louis requiring three new In
fieiders. As for New York, 1t has
veterans enough who could ill the
bill, but changes may take place
nevertheless.
