Playing "Fast and Loose"

Fast and Loose" is the name of cheating game, also called "pricking at the belt" which appears to have been much practiced by the gypsies in the time of Shakespeare. The orig inal name, in the phrase Ito play fast and loose" has gone into the language to designate the conduct of those whose easy ethics do not forbid them to say one thing and do another.

LINEUP
At CLEVELAND
THING Of PAST
Exit of Johnston, Burns, and
Elmer Smith Ends Fa-
nous Formations.

iris Speakers shifting batting
order Is a thing Of the past nov
that Doc Johnston. George Burns
and Elmer Smith are no longer with
the Indians.
Last year, whenever southpaw
pitchers opposed the Cleveland club,
Burns was at first base, Joe Wood
in right. and Joey Evans in left
field. All three hit from the ortho-
dox side of the platter.
Then, when a right handler ap-
peared on the hill to oppose the In
dams, in came Doc Johnston to first
base, Elmer Smith to right field, and
Charlie Jameson to left field.
With Stuffy McInnis playing first
base there will be no change there,
as he hits equally well against
right handlers and southpaws. Joe
Wood may alternate a while with
Jack Graney, but the latter has
weak legs and cannot play often.
It Is possible that Jameson and Ev.
ans may continue to replace each
other, but the tip Is out that Evans
Is to be turned into a third basenan
to take Larry Gardner's place as
soon as the veteran third sacker
finds the going too swift for him.
Anyway, the famous shift lineup
Is a matter Of history for Cleveland
fans.

II Won't Be Sizzling.

WIN bC DiLLh"Ss
As a matter Of fact, COMPETE
u ton for various berths with
the Griffmen this spring will
not be sizzling. Even with three
rivals in uniform every day. Roger
Peckinpaugh will hardly lose any
sleep over the outlook. He knows
right now that he is gong to be
in that lineup against the Yam
KEGS at the Georgia avenue park
on April IL.
Being a yOungster, Goose" Cos
lin may worry trifle about his job
in right field, but if he had watched
Smith and Brewer trying TO play
that field last season he would quit
worrying Immediately. Maybe he
will, making him a better player
for his ease of mind.
Dick Torres may be crowded off
the team as bull pen receiver by
Noone, the Washington sandlotter
but that will hardly worry the even
tempered Cuban. He might prefer
going to some club where he might
get into the game every day In
stead Of shining up a bench with
his uniform.
Some Of the young pitchers will
have to attend strictly to their
knitting if they would hang on to
a major league billet. Real com,
petition will be offered by tn
pitching staff, but they will have
this fun to themselves. AS for the
remainder of the squad, it will be
just ding-dong work.

La Motto Is Ambitious.

DOB LaMOTTE, obtained in the
X fall Of 1920 from Tampa in
~ the Florida State League, is
a more formidable candidate for
the shortstop's berth with the
Griffmen. However, he is not yet
experienced enough to supplant
Peckinpaugh, if he ever does. But
La Motto is an ambitious lad and,
if he sees himself condemned to
bench duty for another season, he
may set up a wild howl to be sent
to some club which will play him.
LaMotte is a speedy lad on his
feet. He can cover as much ground
as any shortstop in the American
League, some Of his stops over be-
lind second base being of the mi
-aculous variety. He is a green
player, though, and doesn't always
know what to do after getting the
ball.
LaMotte's principal weakness Is
at the bat. He went through long
drills last year, trying his best to
better his work in this particular,
but he seemed to improve slowly, if
at all, and this light hitting may
doom him to service in the bushes.

Peck is the first-string short
stop. He is a veteran infielder
who knows what to do with the
ball when he gets it and knows
how to get it. He was easily the
best man in the Yankee infield
asst season and, even with Everett
Scott replacing him, the cham
pions are going to miss Peck con-
siderably. He is a team player
par excellence, and it is this quail
ity which should make him doubly
valuable to the Griffs.
Peck's competitors are three in
number. First comes DOME Bush,
for years with the Detroit Tigers,
Then comes Bob LaMotte, who
warmed the bench at Georgia ave-
nue. all last season. Last, but pos
sibly not least, comes Ossie
Bluege, from Peoria, a rookie.
President Griffith, in announc-
ing the retention of Bush, men,
toned that the little fellow would
be kept for third base and second
base duties, whenever IN the line
up, and to relieve Manager Milan
on the coaching lines. Bush's days
are done as an active player in the
big leagues, but he might easily
show to advantage over brief
stretches. Also he is a wise chap on
the lines. He may last the season
through for these qualities.
