else happens, Nap LajOie is not go
ing to be shifted to first base. Man
ager Birmingham says so. He is not
only satisfied with the big French
man at second, but he doesn't want
to see him in any other position.
For several years there has been
talk about shifting Larry to first. the
argument being made that not so
much speed Of foot is needed at first
as at second.
Birmingham does not agree to this
On the contrary. he insUsts that the
first baseman, who must make innum-
cradle short runs to the bag, is more
likely to lose his speed than the other
iEfielders.
But Birmy's big reason for not NOV
ing the king is that he is the master
of all second basemen at tagging the
base runner.
Where could we get another sec
Ond baseman who could equal Larry
at putting the ball on a stealer2"
asked Birmy. He answered his own
question Nowhere
In addition the Nap team play Is
built around Larry. For years the
Maps have looked to Larry to direct
their movements on defence The sec
end baseman is the logical player to
do this work, and Larry knows how
to do it, That's a fine reason why
Larry is not going to first base.
