The college baseball season of 1920,
which was marked by one of the most
spirited struggles for the mythical
championship Of the East that has
taken place in a decade, brought to
light many players of more than ordi-
nary ability. The managers and scouts
of major league clubs have been keep
ing watchful eyes on the performances
Of the student players this year with
the hope of adding strength to their
teams. and their efforts have not been
entirely in vain.
Although the season just closed has
not produced a player of the caliber
Of Frank Frisch, the Giants third
baseman, who was the outstanding star
of the 1919 campaign, it has uncov-
cred more star collegians than any sea-
son since the war disrupted uni
versity athletics in this country. There
fore the task of choosing an all-East-
ern team is most difficult one. We
have made our selections for first
and q second team from personal OBJ
servation of many Of the college mines
in action and from talks with various
college coaches.
In our opinion, Sullivan, of George
! town, is easily the best first baseman
in Eastern college circles. He is left
handler and has an exceptionally fine
throwing arm. He fields his position
with the ability of a veteran and is
very fast on the bases. He is also a
timely hitter.
Young Has Fine Record
Chilson, of Lafayette, whose strong
batting was potent factor in his
teams fine record this year, is prob
ably the next best first baseman
Young, Of Swarthmore, must also be
ranked among the leaders. He has
son without being charged with a
single error and has compiled a bat
ting average Of 1878.
Mcguire of Holy Cross and Sawyer
captain of the Yale nine, are the two
leading second basemen. Both are
brilliant felders, but the former is a
slightly better hitte-, and for this rea-
son is chosen for the first team
Mcguire is considered to be the best
infelder developed at the Worcester
institution in years. Other second
Phee, of Princeton; McNichol, of Penn
sylvania, and Hauck, of Columbia.
Lefevre, captain Of the Fordham nine
and now with the Giants, was un-
doubtedly the bes. third baseman and
probably the most brilliant of all the
college intielders. He has played q
star game at the difficult corner on the
Bronx nine for the last three years
He was shifted to shortstop in the
middle of the season, and even in thai
position has performed in splendid
style. He is an exceptionally fine
fielder and is :trcng and accurate
| thrower He is also a timely hitter
and is especially effective with the bal
against left-handed pitching
Trimble, of Princeton, is selected fol
third base on the second team. He I:
a player of ail-around ability and ha:
| held down no less than three or -four
different positions during his career or
the Orange and Black nine. He playet
at second base and shortstop this year
but would also make very capable
| third baseman. he is a steady fielder
and powerful batter. Bcaslcy, OF
West Point, and Jones, of Wesleyan
ore also among the leading third base
men.
Gagnon, Of Holy Cross. is probabl,
thc leader among the college short
stops. He has a,trscted the attention
of the big league scouts by his sensa
