FRISCH. INFTELDER FOR GIANTS. TIPPED
 AS 1920 SENSATION

New York, March 22.-(specfaI.) Unless experts are way off fin their analysis of Frisch, the young fn- fielder of the Giants, he will prove the sensation of the National League this year. Frisch, 1t will he remembered, went straight from Fordham College to New York Inst season. He had had no profess sionaI experience of any sort and he was labeled n second baseman. fci-csA is piayinss sAs-d base for the Giants, and he will play that posi- ton throughout the season unless, of course he is hurt. When Man. ager McGraw determined to place Frisch at the hot corner the young ster declared that he did not re- fish the assignment.
 "T never have played third base and I do not care to begfn," said Frisch to his friends. sT am . sec Ond baseman md I wish I were aI- lowed to play that position with the Giants. I might even like shcrtstOp, but third base Is some thing new and I do not know if | can make good"
 FrIsch may have had his doubts, but he has not permitted them to dim his accomplishments, acord- ing to one scribe. He has made good beyond the most ardent de- sires of McGraw. He Is playing third base as no other National League third baseman is likely to play it this season or even next.

Braves to BattleFOr
 Patronage

Boston. March 22.-(s-yec;al. l-George Washington Grant, chief owner of the Boston Braves, says he will surprise Hub fans this year He intimates he has sew eral important deals on, for high-class players, and whep July rolls around, Stallings' crew will be up and fighting for the flag.
 There is going to. be an interesting battle on here for patronage this season. The Red Sox, after shifting Babe Ruth to the Yankees, dropped many degrees in popularity, and only the best class of baseball will serve to hold the interest of the rabid Sox fans, who would re- main loyal had Frazee sold his entire club. Ef. <ffhe American League entry has always held the upper hand in the matter of pop ularity in The Cultured City, but at present 1t seems that Owner Grant has the opportunity of a lifetime to put the Braves in the leading role.
 It is known that Grant made substan- tial offer for Zimmerman of the Giants, but McGraw preferred to keep 'Zin' for use in another deal he had under way
 The Philadelphia club was the only one to offer Stallings trade, but this offer was ignored because the Boston pilot de- clared the Quakers had nothing worth while.
 The Boston National this year toolksthe smallest number of players south of any major league club, and those who made the trip, outside of few of the Boston regulars, were conceded to be the poorest lot ever signed by a major league club
 If Grant makes good his promise to give the Braves strong combination he will have to hurry to accomplish 1t before the league season gets under way. Grant will visit the training camp to confer with Stallings and advises the fans to be patient. Frazee has sold Ruth and others stars and promises nothing.

m ED EHRET, who became a base lN\ ball down-and-out several years ago and later opened one of the old-fashioned gilded dens in Mem phis where you could get dry Mar tini with real gin in it and long toddy with honest-to-g goodness red liquor at three tits per shot, once told me that the hardest ball to hit was one of these ordinary, low-down, straight hot liners that came over the plate about waist high.
 All the old-timers will reme nber that red-headed, freckled-face bird who played with the Chickasaws and was Southern League Tungsten in those days. Red liked his liquor then, and this liquid fondness bumped him out of the game prematurely. It pleased rather than feazed Red, and his saloon in Jefferson avenue be- came sort of sporting paradise.
 "Give me a pair of Scotch high balls just before the game," he said, land I can smash any fancy pill put over the plate. The more frills and jazz the pitcher puts in lem, the bet ter like lem. But I've gotta have all my faculties steady when they began to slam their rifle balls at me-"
 Evidently times have changed since Red was in his prime, because every twirler on the map, major, minor and bush, is working the candles over time this season trying to invent a jazz ball nobody can hit and at the same time keep up speaking ac- quaintance with the baseball commis- sion.
