AS soon as ONeill can play. IT IL
expected that he Will go to the short
field, Thomas to third base. and
Skanks to right field. ONeill cannot
yet grasp a bat. Until he can he Is
of little use to the team.
Bobby Roth seems unable to work
himself out OF his batting slump.
Now and then he will pound one
viciously. but he spends most of his
time rolling to the infcld. Unless he
is on the bases, he is not a voluable
asset. for his fielding is of the hit-or-
miss type, with rather an accent on
the miss. Shanks, who is hitting
well, would greatly strengthen the
outfeld by his fielding. for it is doubt
full il even Sam Rice is Shanks' equal
as a gardener.
