Third base is going to be the big
problem for practically every Amerl-
can league manager this year.
Ten years ago the American league
was rich In third sackers, The life
OF the big league star is limited, how
ever, and today finds third base a de-
batable position on most OF the Amer
lean league teams.
Frank Chance must solve 1t for his
Boston Red sox. No doubt Chance is
banking on Norman Mcmillan, ac-
quired from the New York Yankees to
Ill the bill.
Mcmillan is n likely looking young
ster. Before New York secured him
be went big with Rochester In the In
ternational league. Mcmillan has
much ability at the bat and in the
field. II assured that he will be a
regular II Is certain to improve his
game With the Yankees he realized
he was doomed for some time to play
substitute roles.
Iris Speaker Is banking on Lutzke
to replace the veteran Larry Gardner
at third. The Cleveland recruit
starred in the American association
last year and seems to have fine
chance to make good.
: Gardner Still Capable.
1t might be added, however, that
Larry Gardner is far from through,
aud that should anything upset
Speakers plans. the veteran will be

The St. Louis Browns look like sure
pennant contenders, yet third base is
a real problem for Manager Foil. 1t
looks very much as IL Foil had the
job OF developing a recruit into the
regular third sacker, as 1t is feared
that Ellerbes knee will not prove
strong enough to stand the long grind.
Solving the third base problem for
Washington Is one of the tasks that
confronts DOME Bush. Last year a
talf dozen players essayed to fill the
position with Indifferent success. Bush
has much third base material and
hopes to find capable performer out
of the army of talent on hand.

Az lHc opcHlnS u Lie I'IS SedSoH
the play of Bobby Jones at third for
Detroit made ii seem as if he had
arrived. Then illness put crimp in
his play. forcing him out Of the line
up. Fred Haney did so we'll as a sub
stitute that he must be regarded as
contender for the job.
Connie Mack and Kid Gleason are
to have two high priced recruits from
the Pacific Coast league at third. Will
lie Kamm, the 100000 beauty, said
to be one of the best infielders the
coast has ever turned out, will play
third for Chicago. Sammy Hale, who
it is said cost Mack $4,000, will be
at third for the Athletics. Both are
expected to deliver and help make the
Sox and Athletics contenders.
The latest rumor is that Joe Du-
gan is to play second base for New
York, and that Ward Is to be shifted
back to third, his original position.
All of which makes 1t apparent that
third base is a debatable point In the |
lineup Of every American league club. |

CATCHER BASSLER WINS
REGULAR JOB FIRST DAY
Detroit Backstop Not Only Is Good on
Receiving End, Blu; Also Yields
Mean Bat.

For quite few years now Ray
Schalk of the Chicago White Sox has
been rated as the premier catcher in
the American league. And rightly,
too, for over stretch of some 10
campaigns, Little Ray" has displayed
brilliant ability behind the bat.
Not far behind Schalk are Cy Per-
kins Of the Athletics, Hank" Sever
cid, Browns: Steve O'Neill, Cleveland,
and Wally Schang. Yankees. All first
class receivers and real assets to any
club.
However in picking star catchers,
don't overlook Johnny Basser Of the
Detroit Tigers, who, though he has
been in the big show but two seasons
is already being heralded as Schalk's
most likely successor in back of the
plate.
Brought to the Tigers from the
Pacific coast by Ty Cobb in 1921,
Bassler has showed remarkable i'm
provement during the two years he
has been in the majors, and many
critics are of the opinion that he will
be the circuits lc.-Iing catcher with
in the next two or three seasons. Some
are even now acclaiming him as the
smartest receiver in the junior loop.
And that's saying quite little.
When Bassler came to Detroit he
turned a trick which is not very often
put over by big league catchers now
adays. He broke in as the teams
frst-string receiver the initial day he
appeared in a big league uniform.
1t is not only behind the plate that
Bassler stars. For be it known that
Johnny is also good hitter. In 1922
he led the catchers in this respect,
clouting the old apple at 1928 clip.
In fielding he ranked, fourth with a
percentage of $50 in III games.
