May Shift

Question as to Whether
Doc Johnston Can Hit
Southpaws; Orr in Line
BY LEO H. LASSEN

GAN JOSE. Cal. March 2o.-Ths
~ way things now shape up there
will be only two left-handed hitters
in the Seattle regular lineup. They
win be Doc Johnston and Ray Roh-
wer.
Rohwer looks Just as good against
southpaw flinging as he does against
the starboard hurlers, but whether
Johnston will be able TO hit the port
siders remains to be seen.
For several years Johnston has
looked at nothing but right-handed
tossing. Cleveland using the batting
shift with Johnston on first against
right-handers and Burns against
southpawA
Seattle has no man to shift With
Johnston unless II be Billy Orr.
Harry wolverton has been using Orr
at various positions in the infield
during practice sessions. The wise
boys, however. are still picking Orr
as the regular shortstop and Sam
Crane at third bass unless Harry
Baldwin proves to be a winner at tho
hot corner. In this event Crane
would play shortstop and Orr would
be utility man.
Johnston's great fielding ability.
however. may make up for his lack
OF hitting against the southpaws. He
win look at some mean handlers
IN this company. including Jackie
May. Lefty Thomas. Paul Ffttery,
Oliver Mitchell. Harry Courtney.
