Appear to Have Best Chance of Earning
Substitute Positions-No Shining Stars.
BY CHARLES A. TAYLOR

Special Dispatch to The New York HEsALD.
NEW ORLEANS. March 1s.-What
shall the harvest be? OF the host of
young ball players now summing them
selves on Southern diamonds, who will
be the few chosen to enter the major
leaguesfold? Two weeks of inspection
should give a fair opportunity of
Judging the merits of these aspirants
for/ baseball sarne. although many a
mistake has been made in the past by
those considered experts in separating
the wheat from the cEaff.
AS for the Yankees it must be con-
fessed that of the fourteen rockies as
sembled here on trial only four or fve
appear to be at all ready to make the
big jump from the bushes. And of
these most promising ones one or two
probably would benefit by a still fur
ther sojourn in tke minors.
According to- one OF the Yankee
scouts. the crop Of good ball players
is getting smaller and smaller as the
years go by. But for this odd situa-
ton he has only a vague explanation.
Strangely enough, he suggests the sud-
den rise of Babe Ruth as one of the
reasons for the dearth OF material
among the minor leagues and colleges.
1t is his contention that too many
youngsters are seeking to follow In the
footsteps OF the Swatting Demon and
failing to realize that the advent. of
such as the Babe has been the only oc-
currence OF it's kind In baseball history.
The game has been transformed, the
scout maintains, from the old time bunt-
Ing. base stealing type into one where
the step up and bang away system of
producing runs has become faShionable.
The schoolboys, college lads and sand
lot tossers all. are bowling down to the
great god Ruth.
One Scouts Diagnosis.
Whether the scouts diagnosis be cor
rect or no the fact remains that in the
Yanlsee camp at least. despite the faith

purpose by the two Colonels, no Frischs

Mcmillan, he cannot be regarded as a
bona fide youngster. inasmuch as the
Yanks had look at him last year, and
he has had considerable experience in
a class AA league. Lefty O'Doul is in
practically the same boat as he was
with the Yanks two years ago. and last
