Walsh as First Baseman

Connie Mack is giving Jimmy Walsh,
outfielder, try at first base. 1t is not
probable that the Athletics leader is
thinking seriously of shifting Stuffy Nc
Innls TO third as some believe but merely
pursuing his policy OF preparedness.
Harry Davis can scarcely be expected to
step into the breach as he did three years
ago. Mack would hardly undertake to
make over" two players. creating two
problems, when now he faces only one
developing a third baseman, Neverthe-
less. it should be remembered that some
of the stars of the game have been made
over The most notable is Wagner. of
the Pirates. From a mediocre outfelder
he became the greatest of short fieldeTs.
Danny Murphy was a product of Mack s
shift. Walsh Is a promising player, so
much so that after disposing of him once
Mack lost little time in bringing him
back to the Athletics fold. He has not
the reach" of Daubert or Schmidt, but
Is rangier than McInnis He is young,
AS a utility first sacker he should make
good.

The Case of Walsh

It is hard to see how any sport-loving
citizen could refrain from sympathizing
with Ed Walsh. With him it isn't a
matter of salary loss to any great ex-
tent But here is a great pitcher VINO
had grown accustomed i'm game after
game to swing i'm, amid the cheers OF
the enraptured populace, from the far
corner of the field to rescue a battle
hanging in the balance. And then. while
still young giant in the best of health,
something cracks in the shoulder blade
the old rubber wears out or the main
spring snaps-and Walsh is a spectator
and the old huzza is hushed.
