Dodgers Haze Uncovered
Find of Training Season
in Fdbrique, LnfeIdeT

Fabrique he has discovered q real
shortstop.
I'm almost afraid 10 go too strong
on IT," Robbie said to a friend who
saw him at Hot Springs the other
day, FOR fear I will wake UP and
and II isn't true"
Just the same, Robbie II gradually
being convinced that he has picked
up the niftiest shortfielder that has
shown on a big league since the
rather startling entry OF Rabbit
Meanwhile OF the Braves, and Ban
croft OF the Phillles.
When the Dodgers arrived at the
Springs, O'Mara had been sent to the
minors, Mowrey was holding out and
Olson was needed at third. Incl
dentally, 1t was by accident that Oh
son also was not sent 70 California.
This situation forced Robbie to a
realization OF the fact that he had no
shortstop at all. In desperation he
turned to young Fabrique, tho boy
drafted from UP New England way.
The lad was stuck in at short and
given every chance in tho world. In
practice his fielding was amazing,
but there was a dread in R0bbIe's
heart that he could not hit. Against
the punk pitching used in practice
Fabrique was lining the ball out like
an old-timer. but Robbie knew that a
lot OF them did that early In the
spring. He waited for more evidence.
When the first game came with the
champion Red Sox there was moth
ing to be done but put Fabrique In
as a regular and trust to fate. That
would be a real test.
And 1t was in that game that the
Dodgers found that they had picked
up a wonder. At critical moments the
young man ielded better than he
had In practice, and his throws were
uncannily accurate. But that waa
merely a starter TO their enthusiasm.
At the bat Fabrique practically won
the game single handed. Against
the experienced Red Sox pitching the
' boy clipped off four clean hits out
or four times up, n on the fifth try
got his base on balls.
"An I ask is that nobody wakes me
up" exclaimed Robbie. "If have
found a shortstop at last II will be
mighty easy to find another pennant
have seen in a long time in the way
of infieldere. He has rounded of
our machine"
There is little, II any, opportunity
for a youngster to get a place or
either the Giants or Yanks, and
Brooklyn will have the honor OF or.
hibiting tho only real find of tbs
spring.
The Yanks are determined to carry
eight infielders to be prepared fol
emergency, but the regular lineuI
will be Plpp, Maisel. Peckinpaugf
and Baker. Ahead OF all youngster;
Gedeon gets the first call as utilitS
man.
