The probable lineup for the first

Return indicates
Fred Merkle

NEW YORK, Dec. 24--The
possibility that Fred Merkle,
Rochester first baseman, may be
obtained by the New York
Yankees as coach and pinch
hitter, was hailed by local critics
today as the final vindication
of the popular ball player whose
career was almost wrecked in
its infancy. Known to every
one as "Bonehead" Merkle, fol-
lowing his failure to touch
second base in the memorable
Giant Cub game of 1908, Merkle
lived down the ignominy to be-
come one Of the hardest hitters
and best fist basemen in base
ball.
