According TO present Indications. the
acquistion of Peckinpaugh will make
the Washington team very fornida-
bic contender for the American League
championship Of 1922 BY swinging the
deal Griffith has firmly strengthened
the one woefully weak spot in his in
field without depriving the other de-
partments OF the team Of any of their
former power Unless something IN
1oreseen occurs, the Senators will start
the next pennant campaign with one of
the strongest infields II the American
League
Howard Shanks viii be stationed at
third base Peck at short, Stanley
Harris at second and the brilliant Joe
Judge at first bAse- AL Of these. with
the exception Of Harris, might be
classed as powerful batters and each is
fielder Of high caliber. In addition,
Harris is one Of the fastest base run
ners in the league
Pcckingpaugh win have Sam Rice,
Clyde Milan and Frank Brewer for
his outfeld, Ed Charity and Val Pici-
mich for his catchers and Harry Court
ney, Walter Johnson, George Mogridge,
George Erickson and Jezebel Zachary
for his first string pitching staff
Peck Has Baseball Brain
Peckingpaugh has long since proven
his ability as the leader Of team both
as captain and on several occasions as
acting manager Of tho Yankees. In
addition 30 being q great mechanical
BRAIN. and the prospects for early
success in his nsw position are very
hricAt, indeed
4re acquisition OF DuRan and
O'kouThe by the Red Sox should also
add some needed infed strength to
that club According to the present
plans Of Manager Hughie Duffy, Dugan
W.! start the season at short and will
be moved over to third base to replaco
Foster only in the event that the latter
fails below the form that he displayed
last year In such case ORourke
viii probably be given chance at the
short field position The right side Of
the Red SIX infeld will consist of
Derrlll Pratt at second base and the
recently acquired George Burns at
first base
