knowledge of the batters Ruel has
an edge on him, but Benny normally
has q stronger arm and has given
indications of developing into a hitter
of real class.
Like Stewart. Maurice Archdeacon
possesses valuable asset in his
speed, undoubtedly being the fastest
man on the club in circling the bases,
but his ability in this respect is not
much greater than that of McNeely.
who is the Deacon's peer as a ball
hawk, and Is striving hard to boost
his batting average the additional
points necessary to assure him of a
regular berth. Whether his attempt
to club southpaw style will be re.
warded with success is problematical,
but he ranks ahead of both Arch
deacon and Jeanes as a f1y-chaser.
TeX's forte is hitting, and the extent
to which he will be used depends upon
how well he improves upon his oppOr-
tunities. 1t is probable one or the
other of this pair will be let slide
before the time for cutting to the
player limit arrives, but Boss Bucky
may defer action to await develop
ments after the season opens.
ArchdeacOn has been retarded IN
his training this Spring by in.
different health, and a lack of pep
i'm Jeanes, which some observers
have interpreted as laziness. has
initiated against his chances. but
regardless of whether one or both
of these athletes goes, the Griff-
men seem better fortified with re.
serves i'm their quest of third
straight championship than at any
time since they became contend
ers i'm the American League.
