Hker OF the keo Sox. Annouae- d to-day
that he would use Babe Ruth in only one
position next season. and that the Red
Sox star would not be shifted around
from the pitchers box to first base and
the outfeld. as he was last year. when
war exigencies required the playing OF
Ruth In positions which needed to be
bolstered up.
'I intend to pick one position for Ruth.
and will keep him there" said Barrow.
Il have not yet decided whether ! will
continue TO make use Of his remarkable
ability as a pitcher or to play him In the
outheld, where his great batting skill
will be a daily asset to the club. But
will use Ruth either as a pitcher or an
outhelder, as I do not think he can do
himself full justice II on his OF days
he plays the outheld."
1t is generally supposed here that II
the other Red Sox come UP TO expecta-
lions Ruth will be made the regular Tart

YANKEE 'HOLDOUTS'
RETURNING TO FOLD
Pipp Signs Contract and Duffy
Lewis Says He Will AS
cept Terms.
~ FREDERICK @. LIEB.

Signs OF equalization by the Yankee
stars were discerned yesterday when
Walter Pipp, the FIRST baseman. sent his
signed contract from his home In Grand
Rapids, and Duffy Lewis. the smuggling
outfielder obtained In the deal with the
Red Sox. was brought into line by Bob
Connery. the YANKEE scout. who met
Lewis In Fresno, Cal.
Connery was sent to California by
Miller Higgins TO complete the Quinn
deal with the Vernon club and To sign
Lewis. The former Red Sox star had
been quoted as demanding some OF the
purchase money Harry Fraxee received
for his release before he would como to
New York.
Connery evidently was successful in
appeasing Lewis. as ne wired to the
terms; will sign contract as soon as
new one reaches him. Everything salts
factory"
Harry Sparrow. business manager OF
the Yankees, explained that the club has
sent Lewis's contract to the Mare Island
Navy Yard, where he was serving as a
petty officer In the navy until his dis
charge from service a few weeks ago.
The contract. 1t seems, never was for
warded to him.
Pipp returned TO his home in Grand
Naval Aviation Service He was or
dered to the flying school at Pensacola
the week the armistice was signed. but
the order was cancelled.
Higgins Praises Pipp.
Higgins threw a few verbal bouquets
at Pipp. I've heard a lot about FIRST
basemen since I've come to town. and I
heard a lot OF boosts for Chase. Sisler.
McInnis and others want to say.
however that l think have the best
first baseman in baseball. and that he
will be so recognized before another
season.
"Pipp can do everything around nrs,
base any OF the others do. and his great
reach gives him a decided advantage
over most OF them. And I know Of nc
other first baseman who carries more
Of a kick at bat He hit 1904 for me last
year, but a batting average does not
begin to tell Pipp's usefulness TO . team
His ability to make those long hits al
critical times makes him one OF the most
valuable men In baseball He led his
league in home runs in 1915 and 1911
and has led his league In driving in runs
"Pipp still is a young fellow. and
think was just reaching the top OF hi,
game last season. He Is improving. and
pin a lot OF faith on him for next sea.
SON
Much OF my offence will be bull
around Pipp and Lewis next season
Lewis always has been a natural hitter
and / cannot see why his year in the
navy should affect his batting eye
Lewis played practically all OF last sum
mer. as he managed and played the out
field for the Mare Island naval team
Lewis Is about 80 years old. and in hi
last year with Boston he hit 1902. ex
pect him to do Just as we'll with u.s."
