has taken part in any Of the practice
games, but several of them NAV be
used tomorrow. 1t is not likely that
any of them viii be employed in the
contest on Saturday, but Piercy and

slammed four more drives over the
fence during the batting practice. AL
and succeeded In slamming two balls
over the right field fence. Ping"
Podie and Fred Hofmann also poke
out several healthy wallops.
Aaron Ward displayed some flashes
OF his last seasons form, while Bob
Shawkey batted around to the infield-
ers: Ward alternated with Mike Nc
Nally at third base and made some fine
plays. According to luggins's present
plans, Ward is to be shifted to second
bHse to make room for "Home- Run"
"aker when the latter blows into camp,
and the Midget Manager is confident
shta the young star will perform Just
as creditably at the keystone as he did
at the hot corner.
Ihe other lntiel elders- Mitchell at short,
Fewster at second and Ruth at frst~
also showed plenty or life and kept
up continuous line of chatter. Pipp
relieved the Babe at first base before
the drill ended, but made no effort to
keep up the fast pace set by his team
mates.
Unless Pcckinpaugh appears in time
to get into fair condition for Saturday's
game the infeld will be made up
Of Pipn first base; Fcwster. second;
MITCHELL short, and Ward, third. Ruth.

patrol the outteld while Schang and
Hofmann will do the catching.

up the days work. Hawks was station
ed at first base, Thole at second, French
at short, Mcmillan at third and Gault
