Many Chicago fans have wondered
whether Manager Fred Mitchell of the
Cubs was in earnest when he said he
would use Pitcher Tyler as substitute
first baseman this season. It strikes
them on the funny bone to hear of a
twlrler occupying the infield during
important championship games.
Mitchell says he is very much in
earnest. He has seen Tyler practice
in that position and knows he fields
the place with speed and accuracy.
He also knows that Tyler is far from
being a weak hitter.
