to make any change there.
''As for third base cannot say what
is going to happen. We have Ralph
Miller, Jack Miller and Wrightstone.
Now Jack Miller is not quite as young
as he used to be and am not certain
that he would be able to go through
an entire campaign.
Jack Miller Is a fine spring player.
I figure that we might put him in
there and let him 20 for couple OF
months and by that time one OF the
other men would be ready TO 60 In
and give Jack a rest. OF course, there
IN this problem that IL we were on a
winning streak, would hate to take
Jack Miller out or anyone else. For
that matter, I don't believe In breaking

Outfield Uncertain
"Our outfield Is not altogether GER
tain, but ! am sure that Cy Williams
and Neale will be in there. Williams

rather suspect that he only wants to
get out OF a little of this work in the
South. I understand that he did the
same thing last year, so l would not be
surprised to see him come along any
time.

our club, and expect to see them
come along all right"

Donovan that they would be able to
