Fournier is being given a rest on
account of his injured foot The big
Frenchman could play right now, but
Rowland doesn't need him and wants
him to get in perfect shape before
returning to first base. Jack is doing
much better around first base than
he did last year and will probably go
through the season at the position,
though Ness will be kept for time,
at least.
ThelCaIifornian has not been able
to break through to the first team
because of Fournier's terrific batting,
but has done good work with the
seconds. His hitting is better than
his fielding, from all accounts, and he
would not be much of a defensive i'm
prOvement over Fourier.
Both squads will get plenty Of work
the remainder of the week, each be-
ing billed for clashes with the Texas
league clubs. In these games the
big league pitchers will start pitch
ing the full nine-inning route, so the
manager can see just what their con-
dition is as regards staying power.
Scott and Benz have each done a
full games work and could do the
same today against major team.
The honor of opening the season
lies between the two, with the odds
favoring jim Scott, who has always
been a puzzle to the st. Louis batters.
