NEW YORK, March 16.-Benny Leon

pected to fight as professional

The announcement came at a testi
monial dinner at the Hotel Astor

II believe, and the players on my

David Bancroft, manager of the Bos-

which killed our chances last season
We have the pitching strength. and
we have added batting and fielding

the second division"
On paCer, Bancroft has pitching
strength. If he can build up a fair
defense there's no telling how high
the Braves will go. Although the
team as a whole can be rated as z
young one. two famous veterans head
the list of boxmen-Rube Marquard

O'Neil and Frank Gibson. both smart
catchers and good hitters.
Inc rlgnl wing OF the lnneld is the
big problem. Burrus, who had a. trial
with the Athletics once, and who did
great work in the Southern Associa-

one OF the regulars in the outfield

quite as much on a slow man as on
the speedy one.
When you throw to first on a drag
ged ball when you are coming in and
have no chance to straighten up, be
sure to allow for the fact that you
are in motion. Learn to throw, in
such a case, two or three feet to the
right of the first baseman. The ball
will carry in with you and prove to
be good peg. Unless you make this
allowance the ball will shoot wide
of the mark and may even be so bad
that the runner will take an extra
base on what should have been an
out. s'---tH
1t is always wise to make thi. al
1owance when you take a high bound
er or make any other play where you
are coming in Many young players
lose sight of the fact that they must
allow for the ball to carry In to the
first baseman. Here is another case
where you will need plenty of prac-
tice
You must learn to break fast on
forceouts or double plays AS / have
pointed out. big thing for the young
second baseman to learn Is to be set
for the play and not take the ball on
the run. Eliminate, so far as pos
sible, all chances for a slip-up. No
one can handle ball as cleanly while
on the run as IL he Is waiting for it.
A quick break counts for much in
getting short flies to the outfeld.
Instinct, as to where the ball is like
ly to land, is also helpful Get start
ed as soon as bat and ball meet and
go at top speed in the direction you
have figured the ball is taking. After
you are we'll under way, turn your
head to locate the ball. Then camp
under it once you have let any other
player. or players, nearby know it is
your ball

Howard Ehmke, one of the real right
handlers of the American League,
heads the list OF those retained, with
Alex Ferguson, Curtis Fullerton and
Jack Quinn. Help for these must be
obtained from Oscar Fuhr, who was
with the team for a short time last
year; Rudolph kallio, a Pacific Coast
League veteran; Chester Ross, Joe
kiefer and Fred Wingfeld.
There will be two experiments in
the infeld. Phil Todt is fairly GER

for his ability in hitting. Jim Pro-

season, Will get trial at third base.

Ike Boone, who gained fame last

will be the regular outfielders. This
means that John Collins and Bobby
Feach, famous old-timers, will take
up emergency roles with Harris.
The catching will be in the padded
mitts of Val Picinich and John Hev-

to add to his pitching staff, he may

Smooth infield play also calls for the
second and first basemen fitting in well
together. For instance, the second base
man must have an understanding with
his mate on the first corner on playing
bunted balls. He should break for the
first baseman tells him he will take
care of the play and to stay back.
Another case where the second base
man has to work well with his team is
when short flies, known by many as
Texas Leaguers, are hit to the outfield.
Signals will come in handy here. When
you run out after such a ball there is
often 80 much noise that an outfelder
can't hear you shout that you will take
the ball.
1t is wise to have some signs to indi-
cate you viii take care Of the play. A

One of the hardest plays for a second

The chance requires accurate handling,
