CHANGE IN TEAMS MAKEUP
MAY PROVE TO BE BENEFICIAL
If Shanks Shows Ability at Third Base
GriHmen Are Sure to Do Better.
New Pitcher Signed.

| strengthened, and Is very apt to make
respectable showing in the race
There is one thing about the Indians
they can hit. A pitcher who has but
ordinary ability has no business to
hope that he can win from the Cleve-
landers. The team is made up of a lot
of good hitting players, and when they
are in form they are very apt to do a
lot of damage to the average pitcher
OF all the veterans in base ball these
days. there is not a single one who is
more capable than Terry Turner, who
] is playing remarkable game at third
base for Cleveland these days. Turner
is just as good a ball player today as
he was years ago when he was rated as
the most brilliant shortstop in the
American League.
The veteran has lost none OF his abil-
ity after years of service. He still is
a brilliant fielder, dangerous hitter
and wide awake ball player There
is no position on the infield, barring,
perhaps, first base, that Turner cannot
NIL in most satisfactory manner. Tur-
ner has been with the Cleveland club
for fourteen seasons, and he still is one
of the stars of the game, though handi-
capped for many years by being on a
losing aggregation.
Jay Kirke had quite day of 1T with
the bat, getting four hits and hitting an
other hard one over Milans head. which.
however. the latter grabbed with one
hand after quite leap. kirke, who is
a left-handed batter, did not seem to
be handicapped by the fact that south
paws pitched against him all day. The
big fellow was in particularly good
humor as the result of his success with
the bat
If Tommy Connolly ever makes a
major league ball player 1t will be
only after years of experience. Con-
molly looked a lot better when he first
joined the team than he has of late.
1t has been weeks since he got a base
hit. and his general playing has been
that of one who is not familiar with
the game.
1t is not likely the former George
town player will break into the line
up again very soon, now that he has
proved himself of little value to the
team, and yet there may be a chance
for him to develop in due time, and
Griffith is not apt to let him go, in
the hope that he can teach him some
thing during the spring training period
next year.
Had Ray Morgan kept himself in
condition this spring the Nationals
would be lot better off at this time
The failure of the Baltimore boy to
hold his own left weakness on the
Griffmen's inheld which has proved
disastrous on many occasions. and was
largely responsible for the many games
which were lost in New York and Bos-
ton last trip.
Morgan is far from being ready to
play, though the club surgeon reported
to Manager Griffith that Morgan was
ready. It may be weeks before he will
be able to fill his position. and in fact,
1t Is q question whether he Is not per-
manently incapacitated.

Realizing that the present makeup
of his team does not give him the
strongest possible front, Manager
Griffith is to make an experiment In
today's game and bring Shanks In
from left field to try his hand at third
while he will send Acosta to left field
to all Shanks' shoes. There always
has been an impression prevalent
among the members of the team that
Shanks would be capable third base
man. He has practiced in that posi-
ton and shown himself to be a capable
fielder, so that Manager Griffith has
decided to give Shanks a thorough
trial at the bag.
He surely cannot do any worse than
has Tommy Connolly and the addition
of Acosta ought to add strength to
the teams offensive. At any rate 1t
is well worth giving this combination
a trial. 1t cannot work worse than
has the old one and it may prove far
better. 1t may be proved that 1t has
