to rely on Del Pratt again to field
what he considers his greatest weak
ness. Pratt is not a youngster, al.
though he is still fair player.
He has been playing brilliantly this
spring, but it Is not likely that ne
can continue the pace all season.
Rigney Not in Shape
The Tigers got a very bad break
when Rigney, one OF the coming
young shortstops. reported at the
training camp with a very bad hip.
1t was reported recently that he
would not be able to play In the early
season games,
If Rigney can not play, Cobb will
have to call upon Haney as a sub
stitute and he will be in two holes
instead Of one.
Blue is a good first baseman and
Bobby Jones is a good third baseman.
but a good infield has to have some
thing more in the middle than the
Tigers have. It is an old piece Of
baseball wisdom that a good club has
to be strong through the center
The Tigers will have a fine out
field as the team seems TO run to fine
outfields. Detroit has always had one
or two star gardeners and in Cobb.
Heilmann and Manusch they have
three really great players.
StOner and Whitehill
The pitching staff is a doubtful fac
tor, but it has potential strength.
Stoner and Whitehill, two youngsters,
are being looked upon by Cobb as sure
winners. Whitehill made a brilliant
debut last season when he practically
pitched the club into second place in
the American League pennant race.
Johnson. Pillette. Dauss and Collins
will be the regular workers of the
staff and If Johnson and Pillette work
into the form expected of them they
win win a lot of games.
The Tigers have plenty Of punch
and fair enough pitching prospects.
but they have an infeld weakness
that may be worse than 1t was last
year.

fans will see the Giants as they lined
up against the Indians in two battles
staged in Florida this spring. The
Hoosiers defeated the Giants in Plant
City and lost to the McGraw outfit at
Sarasota.
Billy Southworth is leading off i'm
the batting order for the Giants this
spring. He plays centerfield and bats
left-handed. McGraw obtained South
worth in trade. The New York boss
believes Southworth will make him an
ideal lead-ofr hitter. In Young, the
right field veteran, Indianapolis fans
will see one Of the most graceful bat
ters in baseball.
Bill Terry may be used in part q
the game at first base when the
Giants tangle with the Sox in indian
apolis He managed the Toledo club
last season and McGraw says Terry
is the nearest man to Babe Ruth when
IT comes to getting distance in drives.
Indianapolis fans probably are ia
miliar with the records and skill Of
the other regulars McGraw probably
will use against the Sux. He has a
new outflelder on his roster whom he
likes. The new man Is Wilson,

Aliens strong point is the fact he can
bat from either side of the plate.
With Bush's decision TO carry four
outfielders, it, NAV become necessary
to use Tom Whelan as coach in order
to avoid trouble when the player limit
rule goes into effect the middle of
May.
Bush is fairly we'll satisfied with
his squad, but he is still DESTROYS of
obtaining another pitcher of mainstay
qualities. Guy Morton is the hurler
he wants, but he is beginning to lose
hope of getting him The Tribe pilot
also let it be known today he may
be forced to scout for another in

There is no denying the correct
ness Of Fred Ciarke's sizeup of
the pitching situation. Most of the
managers frankly admit a weak
ness in this department of the
game.
HCT7N the old days. the outfield-
ers in spring training paid
~ almost as much attention to
their arms as did the pitchers. They
constantly strove for accuracy in
their throwing.
In only few Of the camps did I
see the outfielders do any practice
