uuency during the coming campaign.
Joe is peppery, a fighter and has
determination, but even he will not
claim he is any faster or more agile
than Mike DOolan, who is being reIe-
gated to the seconds because he can't
stand the pace at this stage Of the
game. Tinker merely filled in until
today, when MuIligan will come to
the first team and remain for the
opening of the season, at any rate.
Hughie Fullerton picks Tinker to
plav 40 games at short during the
season, but this is probably another
of Hugh's prophecies that will wear
thin in a short time. Labelling Null
ligan the regular, Doolan and Zeider
are left for reserve material, and it
is almost a certainty that Joe will
run both of them into the game be-
fore taking a whack at active duty
himself. He may come in as a pinch
hitter, or even play a few innings,
but the number of games he will
start in will be few.
National league play this year will
require faster men than Tinker for
frequent duty. There is no denying
the fact that Joe was one of the best
shortfeIders that ever played ball, but
his glory as an active participant in
the pastime is dimmed. His future
lies along managerial lines, and
there is where he must continue the
high standard he set last year in win
ming the Federal league pennant.
Joe isn't half so much worried as
some of the experts would have us
believe because his team has been
trimmed consistently in the exhibit
ton games. He is fortunate in bring
ing north a veteran team which is in
good condition and without injuries
